INCOME TAX FIGURES AND THE PRESS

Whether the making public of ln- come tax returns so close to the end of the campaign has any political significance is hard to fathom. The New York World claims it does, and thinks Mellon, who permitted the order of publicity to be made, thereby attempts to scare the in- come tax payers for political pur- poses, Yet it is difficult to see how such a scare will rebound to the interest of the administration.
 The New York World and the Times both spread on the front page income taxes paid by the leading citizens of the New York district, while the New York Herald -Tri- bune, 8 Republican organ, ran a comfortable story under a one-col- umn heading, saying that they had been made public and that those interested could call at the office of the internal revenue department and look them up, also citing the law which purports to say that they cannot be printed or pub lished. If the New York World and the Times broke the law in publish ing the returns, it is evident they do not fear the consequences. Today, however, the Herald-Tribune had a change of outlook and also published the lists.
 Lawyers disagree as to the intent and meaning of the publicity feature of the law as written. But the warn ing that papers publishing the list do so at their own risk causes care fu editors to refrain from such pub lication. If the New York papers think they can afford to get into an expensive financial jam with the de- purmcnt of justice it is their funer- a.

WAR DEPARTMENT
 NEEDS MORE MONEY
Deputy Chief of Staff Shows Up
 Military Situation

Columbus, O., Oct. 25.-Vital problems of the war department in carrying out the national defense act were frankly discussed in a pre- pared address here today by Brig adler General Dennis F. Nolan, deputy chief of the general staff, one of the principal speakers on the program of the annual convention of the Reserve Officers association.
 War department estimates for 1926, now under discussion with the budget bureau, he disclosed, call for $3,995,590 flor the support of the reserve project" which Is S715,- o00 more than the 1925 figure and would provide 15 days training for 16,oOO reserve officers, exclusive of national guard officers who also hold reserve commissions.
 Progress made thus far in the civilian training work prescribed by the defense act, said General No- Ian, has been possible only because Of supplies left over from the war, some of which have been exhaust cd. Considering the progressive re- auctions in war department appro- pristions since 1922, he added, little room is left for tightening up eco homie admin stration in the depart ment.
 "lf We are to make progress in stead of stagnation." he said, "our only solution is 10 obtain increased appropriations, not all at once, but by gradual increments, year by year"
 War made stocks now in re- serve will he unreliable after 1888, according to experts" he continued, and the question or providing for the necessary minimum reserve. which would cost approximately S34O, ,00O,- Ubo, must be faced.

ANTI-FREE SPEECH BLOW IN WATERBURY

Waterbury has what is popularly known as an "anti-free speech ordinance" which forbids anyone from making an 0ration on the streets without permit from the city.
 Congressman OSullivan and his Democratic aids, however, did what is being done in New Britain-they made speeches at factory gates, and without a permit from the august authorities to discuss the issues of the campaign.
 What was their surprise to find that the police department stepped in and called 8 halt to the proceed ings. The chief of police said he would enforce the ordinance against all corners, including the congress- man and the Democrats,
 The congressman, not inclined to start an argument with the chief, called in his forces from violating the gag ordinance, and sentiment is with him to such an extent that the board of aldermen is expected to repeal the law.
 The Democratic congressman has done the city of Waterbury serv- ice in stressing the foollshness of such an ordinance particularly when stretched to prevent the dis cussion, of political questions before the gates of factories.

STATE DEMOCRATS'
 VIEW 0N SENATOR
Had No Objection to Selection by Legislative Action

New Haven, Oct. 25.--Democrats of Connecticut had no objection 10 legislative action in choosing a U. S. senator to All the vacancy caused by the death of Mir. Brandegee, it was stated officially today. and the dem. ocfatic party was willing to have the election on November 4. The party's attitude is given in the following statement issued by Edward VI. Yeo. mans. chairman of the democratic state committee today:
 "The criticism of Governor Tem. pleton by the republican, machine for calling special election is Of no interest to the democratic party, but the democrats have been ac- cused of insisting that Governor Templeton call special election. This is not true. The democrats made no request whatever of Gov ernor Templeton and when the gov ernor inquired of the officers of the state central committee what they wished done, he was informed that he could do anything that seemed proper to him and the democratic party would, adjust itself to his ac- ton. ...-. --f
 Tt was suggeste ed that if the gov crnor called the election for Novem- Der 4th and thereby saved a great deal of trouble and expense to the people of Connecticut. the demo- cratic party would find scme way to adjust it's regular procedure and make nomination in time for that election. This Is what the governor undoubtedly should have done.
 The only objection to calling an election for November 4th was that the rules Of the republican party re- quired a longer time. Even a re- publican governor is not bound in his official action by the rules of the republican party and if Governor Templeton had been looking to the welfare of the people of Connecti- cut he would have called the cleo tion for November 4th.
 'The democratic party would not have complained if the governor had seen fit to call no election. but had waited for the legislature to provide for an appointment of a senator by the governor after January list. The democrats have the utmost confi- dence in the ability of Charles c. Morris to pick a suitable man for the position and the special election was not called at our request"

ONTNRIO'S SATISFACTION
 WITH DRY LAW

The provihce of Ontario, which voted on the liquor question Thurs day. is more than 73 times the size of Connecticut. The province lacks only l7,eOO miles of being as large as Texas and California combined. Its greatest extent from east to west Is 1000 miles, and the dis kance from north to south is only & little less.
 The people in this vast territory voted to retain the dry law. Tbey number approximately S,0O0,OOO. Nine-tenths of them live in less than one-tenth of the area of the province, and there are several fairly large cities, such as Toronto London, Hamilton and Windsor. The cities as rule voted wet; but the rural sections seemed to be as arid as the Sahara.
 The Ontario liquor act is in many respects similar to the American dry law, and the main issue in Can ada was whether it should be re- tained or the government allowed to go into the liquor business and sell supplies of wet goods" in sealed packages. Even such a modi- dcation of the law was frowned down upon.
 The voting in Ontario was the sixth referendum on the liquor question in the last 30 years. The present law was enacted as war measure in 1916. and was con- frmed in a plebiscite in 1919. An amendment followed in 1921 mak- ing it illegal to import liquor from wet provinces and the United States.
 The dry cause in Canada has lost ground, in British Columbia Alberta, Saskatchewan and Mani toba, but the victory in Ontario is expected to stimulate dry propa- randa in Inc provinces which have slightly slipped off the water wagon in recent years.

 The Post then proceeded to give him a measure of privacy by writing him up from every angle, having q sob sister interview him, taking photographs and after starting its story on page one, breaking 1t over on one inside page and devoting its entirety 10 the princely doings. The names of those who were "at tea" with the prince were included, and their names took up the better part of two columns.

 America is a peculiar country. The spirit of democrary is rife within it's borders, titles of nobility are barred, and kings are persona non grata - that is to say, Amer ican kings.
 But we have oil kings. money kings, motion picture kings, motor kings and other uncrowned kings who have graduated from the earl fer designation of Captains of in- dustry." Then, to go on a bit further in the direction of royalty, we have damsels who like better than marrying a title" from over the seas, and count, countess, prince, princess, earl, duke or whataot gets more than a respectful hearing in this section of the planet.
 In theory, we have none of the manners that filter through European society; but in practice the entire population likes to read about ''his lordship" and the other lords of the realm.

A "COLORLESS" RECORD OF
 CHILD LABOR LAWS


 Senator Beveridge of Indiana sug- gested the first proposal to pass a federal child labor law, doing so as early as 1906. During the discus sion that was aroused the judiciary committee of the house reported congress, possessed no power under the comn1erce clause to pass such a law. The senate failed to take &C., tion.
 It was not until 1916, ten years after Senator Beeridge had first made the original proposal, that the first federal child labor act was adopted. It prohibited the ship ment in interstate and foreign com merce of commodities produced in mines or quarries where children were employed under 16 years of age, or in workshops, factories etc., in which children under 14 years of age were employed, or in which children of between II and 1G worked more than eight hours day, or more than six days a week, or at night.
 This act was in effect nine months and three days. when it was de- cIared unconstitutiona by the Su- preme Court on June 3, 1918, The decision was by to 4, Justices Holmes, McKenna Brandeis and Clark dissenting.
 The law previously had been found unconstitutional by the fed eral district court in North Caro- lima, from which decision the gov ernment appealed to the Supreme Court.
 Before the high court the gov- ernment argued that existing state child labor laws would be threat ened should the federal law be found invalid, They admitted that, although the law was based on the right of congress to regulate inter- state commerce, 1t was the inten- tion Of congress also to regulate industrial conditions within states. The latter point formed the chief point of attack.
 The government also stressed the fact that the Supreme Court pre- viously had sustained federal food and drug inspection acts federal re- strictions on shipments of intoXt- cant, and the right of congress 10 interfere with the police powers of states when\good' reason for such action was shown. But the gov- ernmenrs contentious failed by one vote in the Supreme Court,
 Agitation for new federal child labor regulation gaining impetus, another federal law, known as the child labor tax act, was adopted by congress in February, 1919 This specified a tax Of 1O percent upon ihc profits of industries employing children in violation of the stand ards established under the preced- ing act This law was found un- constitutional by the Supreme Court on May Is. 1922. The law was brought before the court from North Carolina, where the federal district court had decided against the government.
 The Supreme Court held that If the law were primarily intended to levy taxes it was constitutional, but if 10 stop the employment of chil- dren then il vas an infringement pf the police powers of the states. The court sad it was plain the law was ssesFnsd to promote the high
