Unlicensed Drivers.

Three more motorists yesterday
sped away from the scene of collisions
in this city. Fortunately no one was
killed in these accidents, but that was
the good fortune of the victims and
does not lessen the offense of the
cowardly drivers who sped off after
hitting them.
In one of these cases the license
number was noted, and thus q clue is
afforded to the identity Of the driver
But the question arises whether the
man at the wheel IN that case was In
fact, licensed driver, was the owner
and legally qualified operator of the
machine. For there are many cars
now in operation in this city whose
drivers have not been licensed. There
are many cars run by members of
families only the heads of which hold

very difficult task to make complete

person who is caught, however, either
through an accident or In the course
Of a roundup examination, driving a
car without a license should be given
the utmost penalty. II that penalty is
not sufficiently severe 1t should be
stiffened.
An unlicensed driver, no matter how
we'll qualified in all respects, bears
the same relation to traffic that a
pirate does to ships at sea. He has
no legal or moral rights. He is a
freebooter who, If caught, should he

The Intent of the Voter.

The Senate may In the next Con.
gress be called upon to pass on a
question of great Importance to voters
of this country in the contest for the
seating of Steck as against Brook.
hart Senator Brookhart has been ad.
judged the winner Of the election for
the term beginning MARCH next by
slender majority. less than 1000
This was not determined until q full
recount of the votes had been made.
Now his opponent, the Democratic
candidate, is preparing to file q claim
for the seat on the ground that a
large number of ballots, more than
enough to overcome the Brookhart
Majority, were thrown out OF the
count because they had been marked
with arrows instead of crosses Opin-
ion has been expressed that the Sen.
ate can take cognizance of the claim
that the intention of the voter should
govern and not the strict technicality
of the form Of the indicating mark.
When the Australian ballot was
adopted, on which the voter marks his
preference, usually by a pencil cross
within a circle or q square. precaution
was taken to prevent the identifica.
ton Of particular ballots as a means
against venality. In theory, the bal
lots are absolutely anonymous. Inter
probation of the law in this respect
has carried to some extremes. For in.
stance. ballots have been thrown out
when a cross.mark has obtruded be.
yond the circle by a slight fraction,
doubtless by a slip Of the pencil, or
when the mark has been made in a
peculiar way, as though to identify It..
So many ballots have been cast out
for such causes, and so difficult has
it proved for voters to understand the
scheme of voting and to handle in
diligently the great sheets that are
offered as ballots, that demand has
been expressed for voting machines.
II the contest is actually filed and
| the Senate proceeds to consider it, the
question may be raised whether that
body can go behind the returns and
accept as valid the ballots that have
been cast out by the returning board
in Iowa. The Constitution makes each
house Of Congress the Judge of the
qualifications of its own members.
This has been interpreted heretofore
to mean that Congress is not bound by
court decisions in the matter of quail.
fications. 1t is virtually the final can
wasting board in elections. and the
contention now is that 1t may, II the
facts are as claimed, accept as valid
the arrow-marked ballots cast for
Steck as being honest indications Of
the intention of the voters and give
him the seat instead of the holder of
the formal certificate Of election.

Chicago's Private War.

Chicago is passing through a bad

to the situation. War has broken

sters killing one another. A short
time ago gang leader known as
Dion O'Bannion was shot to death by
q group of men in his flower shop,
which was the camouf1age for his real
business of bootlegger and vice pur.
veyor. Yesterday another gang leader
Eddie Tancl, was attacked by three
men in his guided resort" where he
reigned as "vice king was shot
to death. Two of his assailants were
wounded, one mortally and the other
slightly. The third one escaped. All
Of the wounded MEN, including Tancl
3 who lived for a short period, refused
to answer any questions. One Of the
murderers said: Our friends will take
care of this"
That remark. simply means that
there will be other feud fights and
probably more deaths. The gangs have
their code. and the principal provision
OF 1t is that each gang and gang
alliance administers it's own justice
These Chicago "vice kings" and ruff
fans are utterly law-defiant, and their
activity is possible only through
the failure Of the Acknowledgement

Many. shades of opinion are ex-
pressed by editors toward the an
nouncement of President Coolidge
that it is not his intention to call an
extra session of Congress after
March 4, unless further developments
necessitate such action. To a ma
jority of the editors the statement
causes expressions OF Impotence for
quick action on tax revision.
The New York Evening Post dnde-
pendent), commenting on the President
suggestion of waiting until the end of
the fiscal year, says: This sort OF
temporizing with a perfectly clear
situation is entirely uncalled for. 1t
appears necessary to repeat that the
verdict at the polls on November
was affirmative as well as negative.
The electorate voted down radical
ism. That was a negative verdict
The electorate also voted up the
Mellon tax plan. That was an af-
firmative verdict, and beneath 1t was
an expression of overwhelming conf
dence that President Coolidge would
address himself Immediately to the
task of tax legislation. No post
ponement or delay was expected. The
more sanguine even hoped that
something could be done at the short
session of Congress which begins
December 1. There was general &C
ceptance of President Coolidge's de-
cision that the political situation
makes such early action unfeasible.
But the intention of passing over the
next opportunity, offered by a spe-
cial session of Congress, cannot be
justified by any of the reasons thus
far put forth"
"Mr. Coolidge realizes the country
is pretty we'll fed up on Congress.
observes the Newark News dnde-
pendenO. But he firmly believes in the
need for scientific tax revision to
make the tax burden more equitable
and to stimulate industry. The ques-
ton confronting him. therefore--and
he does not have to decide It until
March-is whether the relief of nine
months surcease from Congress is i'm
portant enough to Justify putting off
his tax program that long" In the
usual course of events, points out the
Indianapolis News Independently,
there would be no action on taxa
ton until some time in 1925. A
mounting Treasury surplus in the
meantime might interfere with
further efforts to bring Federal ex-
penditures to a lower level, as an
excess in income always is an invita-
ton to careless spending"
Some are inclined to criticize de-
laying until a year from December
thesenactment. OF, a sound tax reform,
for which the country voted in. No
vember,' declares the Springfield
Union (Republiean), which adds: THE
voters Of the country are eager for
tax reform along the lines of the
Mellon plan. The Presidents pro-
gram of economy and taxation was an
Important factor in his election, and

push Congress for the adoption Of his
program" The Ohio State Journal
