AN ANTI-GUNMAN ~

There is some hope at least, fCr the protection OF
honest citizens against gunHen, IN the Dill introduced
in congress by Senator Copeland at the suggestion ol
the chief magistrate of New York City.
This measure seeks to prohibit the importation OF
revolvers and automatic pistols and to impose heavy
tax on such weapons manufactured IN the United
States 1t would also place an almost prohlbltWe tax
cartridges.
Such legislation has been recommended by two
international conferences Of police chleIS anu ny tle
American Bar Association 1t is in line with 6ugges-
tions made for several years past by the American
press generally. 1t is not attack on any vested IN
terest and though the immediate effects mght be an
moving to manufacturers of deadly weapons, that
would be amply compensated by the immense benefit
likely to accrue to the public as a whole. .
Almost every violent crime is accomplished with
the aid of pistol That is what gives the gunmen MS
false courage and does the killing. Police everywhere
agree that if the criminals dlsaImed, there would
be only small fraction Of the present volume OF rob-
berries, hold-ups and murders.
Objections to legs !ation against such weapons
have been based mainly on the lear that they would
disarm self-protecting citizens While leaving gunner
armed. Experienced policemen reply that as matters
stand there is little protection in defensive guntot
ing" and that ii is not impossible to disarm the Grim
inas by strict regulation Of the manufacture and dis
tribution of pistols and cartridges. With the ammunl-
tion under legal control pistols now IN possession Of
crooks might be rendered harmless.
The traffic in weapons Of slaughter could never
he absolutely ended, but there is for beev-
ing that it would not be geatly lessened and the mod
ern tvpe of criminal rendered comparatively harm
less by such a remedy as Senator Copelands.
Maybe Henry Ford will get Muscle Shoals now
because nobody has ever accused him OF lending any
money to anybody.

CUSTOM HOUSE
REPORT SHOWS
FINE INCREASE

The monthly report of the United
States customes house at Calexico
shows a substantial gain made dur
ing January of this year over that
of the, same month in 1928, the col
lections having almost doubled, and
the exports more than doubled for
the same period. The imports, now
ever, have fallen off materially, the
difference being in the neighbor-
hood of one-third less than in the
same month last year.
This is due, 1t is said, to the stop
page of importing of cotton seed in
view of the heavy tax imposed by
Mexico, and which was III force for
some months, being reduced within
the last week to figures which are
sure to result in making February a
banner month over that of February
of last year.
The report reads:
