Two Ohio Bills For
State COSSaCkS
(By Federated Press)

Columbus, O.-Bills for an Ohio
state constabulary have been intro
duced in both houses of the legisla-
ture. Each bill is vaguely worded,
permitting considerable latitude in in
depreciation of the powers granted.
For example the house bill leaves it
optional with the counties as to
whether they will have any rural po-
lice force. But the bill also provides
that these police shall possess state
powers as soon as they shall have
been appointed and commissioned by
the governor. The senate bill au-
thorizes arrests without warrant, as
demanded by manufacturers in Him
ois of their legislature and it permits
the state police to act in any other
county besides the one for which
they have been commissioned.

Opinion Defeats President
Harding's Pet SCneme
(By Federated Press)

the rights of an alien were alleged to
be threatened. Under this law fed
eral troops and federal deputy mar
shals could be used in an industrial
dispute where even one alien was
involved.
The federal government would take
charge of practically every strike, as
corporations would quickly provide
themselves with the necessary alien
if none were on their pay roll.
Another proposal involved the es-
tablishment Of an espionage system
for aliens who would be registered, a
scheme that would eventually be ex-
tended to American citizens who
work for wages when the public be-
came accustomed to this European
importation.
These secret attacks on liberty
were less sensational than the ship
subsidy proposal, but they did not es-
cape the vigilance of organized labor,
which continually warned the coun-
try of its dangers.
In the senate were brave group
of liberty lovers, whose successful
repulses of reaction have been an
inspiration to every true American.
From the cossack group, however,
wage earners were repeatedly at
tackled, and nleas for handcuff legis-
lation and other enslaving devices
were made by men who have sat in
that body for the last time.
A few months ago these men were
given first-page attention in the
daily press. They thundered in the
senate against workers who dare to
unite. They urged legislation that
has not been suggested on the floor
of the senate since slavery was
abolished.
Labor met these attacks with intel
ligence, solidarity, and vigor.
Labor is not only unscathed, but by
its appeals to a sound public opinion
the workers defeated un-American
proposals of senators who now des-
cerd into a political wilderness Of
their own making.

FARM TENANTCY GAINS-MORE

Over 60 Per Cent of Workers Are

Washington - Mortgaged homes
ers is characteristic of this country,
according to Senator Ladd of North
Dakota, who declared that "the most
ominous fact in our agricultural con-
ditions is the rapid growth of farm
, tenantcy."
"In 1920" he said, "37 tenants op-
Grated farms in every 100, as COM
pared with % in 1910, an increase of
33 per cent in 10 years. Wherever
this notoriously inefficient and out
rageously unjust system is establish

most degrading form follows as a
natural and necessary result.
"But this distressing condition is
Over 60 per cent of those who work
in the manufacturing and mining in
dustries and auxiliary business activ-
tiles are living in rented houses.
Seventy-five per cent of the homes
of America are mortgaged. Out of a
population approximately 100000
900, only 4,131,878 own homes free
from encumbrance.
"That there is a combination of
causes no one who has given careful
consideration to existing conditions
can doubt. And yet when we consid-
er the course of legislation in this
country for the past 60 years, there
is nothing unnatural in the abnormal
situation that confronts US.
"He who in the midst of abundance
suffers the pangs of hunger; who in
the presence Of inexhaustible natural
resources stands in enforced idleness;
who, clothed with political power, is

mitting drudgery labor-saving inven-
tions have brought no relief but
rather seem to make his condition

is something wrong with our system
of distributing the wealth which his
labor produces.
'It is the direct and necessary re-
suit of granting to corrupt and ia
vored few predatory privileges which
involve supreme functions of govern
ment."

French Invasion
Causes HdrdshipS

Essen, Germany-The rise in the
cost of living is the most tangible
evidence of French occupation of the
Ruhr. In many other ways the daily
life of the inhabitants is affected.
The French seized 800 of the 1000
beds in the city hospital. The isola-
ton rooms for children suffering
from diphtheria had to be vacated at
once without reference to the condi-
tions of the patients. Likewise the
wing of the building in which pa
tients suffering with measles scar
let fever, typhus and whooping cough
were lying.
The French and Belgians have not
hesitated to break into the Reichs-
bank. At Bochum their storming of
the institution neted them 80 marks,
less than half a cent. Money has
gone into hiding.
There are some towns which are
completely cut off from the world as
far as postal or telephone or tele-
graph communication is concerned
The only way to get a letter out Of
Hamborn is to give it to a personal
messenger who will mail it in the un-
occupied area.
The Belgians demand 100000 mat
tresses, 10000 blankets and 100000
bedspreads, to be furnished by May
l. This requisition means that each
Belgian soldier and officer would
have more than two mattresses, four
bedspreads and three woolen blank
cts.
The infiltration of about 100000
foreign troops into one of the most
densely populated sections Of Eur
ope, with its 100000 inhabitants, or
as many as are scattered over the
whole of Switzerland, is no small
thing for this congested area.

The defeated ship subsidy bill
marks the close of congress that in
several ways is the most remarkable
in the history of the country.
This congress is the first that was
called in special session by a presi-
dent to pass a certain law and then
declined to pass the law, despite ev-
cry power and government favor the
president could muster and every aid
to his cause by privilege and wealth.
This struggle was not because of
an ordinary recommendation by the
president, but was a clear-cut at
tempt to jam through legislation of
a most pernicious character by men
who have been repudiated by the
people. 1t was a contest between the
executive and the legislative branch,
backed by popular opinion. The
latter forces triumphed.
The failure of the ship subsidy bill
is a most crushing defeat for it's ad
vocates and no chief executive ever
suffered such a stinging rebuff.
The same forces that backed the
subsidy bill established another rec
ord by attacks on human liberty.
The extent of these onslaughts is
indicated by the so-called Judicial
kidnapping bill,' which would give a
federal judge in San Francisco, for
instance, the right to order the ar
rest of a man in Boston.
If this bill passed a federal mar
shall could arrest a citizen and take
him across the country without CIV
ing him a hearing in his home juTis-
diction or even inform him why he
was arrested.
For viciousness this proposal can
be compared with attempts to hand
cuff labor to it's task and with the
sedition laws that destroyed the
Federalist party over 100 years ago.
In the senate attempts were made
to pass a handcuff law but the
agents of recation depended more on
stealth than force to enslave work.
ers.
The policy of stealth was shown in
the senate bill entitled GA bill pro-
viding for the better protection of
Aliens" This would authorize the fed
eral government to interfere in the
internal affairs of any state when

HISTORY
 OF OLD PISTOL

LONGVIEW, Wash, Aug. 1. = A brass flintlock pistol, said to be more than 200 years old, was thrown up by a dredge in the Cowlitz river at this point recently, and discovered by A. N. ThorndilSe. The pistol was iH perfect state of preservation with the exception of the handle, which was rusted off. The weapon was untarnished and unstained and bore upon one side London, England, trade mark On the other side was a crest, consisting of crown set above crossed sword and gun.
 The weapon was sent to a Port land gunsmith who estimated that 1t had been made more than 200 years ago It is now on it's way to London where, it is hoped some clue may be found as to it's age, the former owner and something of the history surrounding it.
