viii Outline Views on
Use of Injunction,

By JrtteG Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-John ".
Davis, Democratic standard bearer,
will make his next appeal to labor
and dirt farmers. After delivering
another assault on the Republican
administration and it's policies at Co
iumbus, Davis returned to New York
today to prepare for his Labor Day
speech and his first invasion of the
corn belt.
In his Labor Day speech at Wheel
ing West Va, Davis will elaborate
on his views regarding rights Of
labor ano stress his opposition to
use of injunctions in labor disputes.
His managers believe once his
views are made clear the opposition
of many labor groups will disappear
and a large share Of the nominal
Democratic labor vote Will remain
in the field instead of going over to
La Toilette.
Following his Wheeling speech,
Davis will go to Chicago where he
will confer with former Representa-
tive Lincoln Dixon of Indiana, man.

ON Decline,
Prosecutors Job Should Be
Taken Out of Politics.
He Says,
BY CHARLES P. STEWART,
NEA Seruice Writer

By CHARLES P. STEWART,
NEA Serrice Writer
E-1ASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Law
WI and law enforcement are
" two different things.
American law. as law, is improv-
ing. according to Attorney General
Harlan F. Stone
But is il enforced, respected?
The Public thinks not, the attog
ney general admits.
Is the public right?
The attorney general is afraid
so. at the present time, at any
rate. for he says the actual aG-
ministration of justice in these
United States is in a period Of
decline. which began before the
war and was greatly accelerated
by it."
Be It said, however. that the
attorney general is not a pessim-
ist. Having faith in the Ameri-
can bar and the American people,
he believes we will pass soon into
a period of improvement.
But why don't we do something
now. with a view to improvement?
We do. says the attorney gen
eral. but not the right thing. We
doctor symptoms. not the disease.
Suppose law enforcement goes
wrong, through offiial incompe-
tence. corruption or both.
There are causes for incompe-
tence and corruption.
Do we remove the causes? No,
we remove the officials; maybe
punish them.
Or. if lawyers take a hand in at
tempting to reform. whats their
method?
More law. more procedure-bet-
ter perhaps.
But in either descriptions,
not the disease. are treated.
What is the disease?" I asked
the attorney general.
For one thing. politics" he an
swered.
The prosecutors job ought to
be taken out of politics. Why
should it be political. any more
than a judge's?"
Would you have prosecutors
appointed"
Maybe not. but I'd make their
terms longer. nyway-during
good behavior. even
The attorney general dwelt on
the weaknesses of prosecuting of
fees: showing how politics affects
them-not so much money. but po-
litical influence. He pointed to
their lack Of system. to the lax
ness. slackness Of their methods.
But isn't politics just a refiec-
ton Of public opinion, anyway"
The attorney general didn't an
swer definitely.
But in a recent address before
the American Bar Association he
said:
1T is automatic that a people
in the long run. will get the kind
Of justice they deserve" And:
1T is a truism that law enforce
ment cannot rise above its ulti-
mate source in popular respect
for law"

OVER
TOWNSHIP TAXES
WILL BE MADE
Oppose Combining
of Tuition and General
Funds,

Protests over the proposal of the
Wayne Township trustees to COM
bine it's transfer tuition fund with
the general fund will be made Tues
day at a meeting of interested town
ship residents and local members of
the Indiana Taxpayers Association,
before the advisory board, Harry
Miesse, secretary, said today. When
the township trustees levied their
Az cent levy for 1924 they included
the $4,000 transfer tuition with the
general fund, making total of
$4,000, he said. Similar policy is
planned for 1925, it IS said.
Said to Be Illegal
Willis C. Nusoaum, former mem.
Der of the State board Of tax com
missioners, said the State Legisla-
ture at one time provided transfer
tuition could be paid out of the gen
eral fund. But since that time the
State tax board rendered the opinion
such a method was not legal. He
cited a similar situation in Columbia
Township, Gibson County. where the
trustees were barred from Combin-
ing the funds.
The transfer tuition fund is raised
solely by a tax levy on property Of
township residents living outside Of
indianapolis in Marion County, Nus
baum said. Tax levy for the general
fund is levied upon all the residents
in the townships which include In
dianapolis residents.
