approving the proposition anu urging the
soundest of reasons for its passage.
Edgar Wallace, speaking for the labor
federation, told the committee that the pro-
posed change is approved by the members
of his organization because the present sys-
tenn allows men and policies discredited at
the polls to remain active and influential
long after the voters have repudiated them.
Under the present plan, thirteen months
may elapse between the election of a new
congress and its assembling in Washing ton
for legislative purposes.
Representative Ramseyer, OF Iowa, speak
ing for the American Bar association, de-
clared that the Norris amendment had been
approved unanimously by the convention OF
his association, in, resolution putting forth
"the arresting idea that the long delay in
the Inauguration of President Lincoln helped
to precipitate the civil war" Too much
time was allowed for partisan pickering be-

president will be elected this coming
November. 1t seems probable that Mr..
Coolidge will be the candidate of the Re-
publican party-a candidate to succeed him
self in office, but a candidate upon perhaps
a wholly different platform from that upon
which he is now standing. Mr.. Coolidge
may or may not be elected, if nominated.
If he is elected, his commission from the
people will not become effective until
March 4, following the election, and in the
meantime congress will, have sat through
an entire session. session begun after the
people have expressed themselves at the
polls.
If Mr.. Coolidge. is defeated, or If any
other Republican nominee is defeated, as is
entirely probable, the country will be con-
fronted again with the spectacle of a dis
credited party running the government for
months after it has been repudiated, for
Mr.. Coolidge and the present do-nothing
congress remain in office until March
next.

The Leobard's Sbots

~ ECRETARY DENBY'S dramatic rush to
the defense of the scandalous oil leases
deserves better cause. The amiable
head Of the navy is charity itself in that he
believeth all things, hopeth all things, en-
dureth all things. But the task is too much
for even his huge embrace of magnanimity.
Black remains black, and the leopard's

RI II the Secretary could purge the case of
his former cabinet colleague, Albert B. Fall
his plea in eXtenuation would be less en-
barrassed if not more convincing; but at
every turn the old ghost rises to mock
apology. There is no explaining away the
evidence that Fall received one hundred
thousand dollars from Doheny, thrty-fve
thousand dollars from Sinclair, and some
fifty-two thousand dollars from others in
terested in procuring leases upon the gov
ernment's oil reserves. To certain guleless
disciples of the Grand Old Party it may
seem quite proper for a secretary of the
interior, charged with conserving the treas
ure of the national domain, to accept one
hundred thousand-dolar loans his I'M
secured note from private oil magnates in
quest of fat concessions; but to the plain
rank and file of the American people such
conduct smacks too much of Benedict
Arnold
Even should 1t be conceded that leasing
OF the government lands was imperative
because they were being drained of their
oil by private operators, there still would
be no moral justification for such leases as
actually were negotiated Nor has it yet
been demonstrated that the United States
government was under necessity Of surren-
dering to private exploiters as the sole
means of protecting public rights!

MORE VARIED CONTACTS
BY H. Addington Bruce


G OCIAL progress would be much more
- rapid and the well-being alike of the
lndlYldual and society more secure if
people generally could be persuaded to ex-
change ideas freely with other people in all
walks of life.
Today this is so far from being the rule
that E. A. Filene's complaint regarding the
average business man may we'll Nbe made Of
the average man in nearly every occupation {:
Even inside his business the average bust
ness man trains pretty consistently with his
own crowd that is, with the administrative
the controlling, the directing group. AND
outside office hours the average business
man is too much given to spending his time
in the hunting lodge, the golf links, or
in the metropolitan club, where, taken by
and large he meets only the men who share
his point of view.
This means that the average business
man is carefully insulated from that socia!
contact, that give and take of discussion
with men of different social rank and diff
ferent points Of view. which is so necessary
In checking up correcting, and humanizing
ones outlook upon life and its issues"
But, as stated the business man is no ex-
ceptionaI offender in this respect, howsoever
Mr.. Filene may think he is.
The artist, the poet the college professor,
the skilled artisan, the man in this vocation
or that one, almost always displays the same
proclivity to restrict his social and recrea-
tional contacts to persons of interests akin to
his and sharing his point Of view
The result is not merely narrowing Of
the mental horizon. 1t is hampering of the
possibilities for personal and social growth,
and often it is a breeding of misunderstood.
ings that lead to more or less serious social
disputes and quarrelS.
The class conflict OF which we hear so
much would be little in evidence If the MAX
ing of varied personal contacts became any
thing like habtual. For then there would
be an abating of preiudices now fostered by
the very fact that most men insist a class
aloOfness that renders impossible any ap-
probation of mutually Of social interests.
Nor the situation improve markedly
until this class Aloofness becomes thing OF
the past. SO long men flock in little CO.
teries determined by birth. wealth. or occu-
patton, they can not gain the insight and
sympathy essential to social harmony.
Neither, for that matter can they fully
realize their own pOtentialities for personal
development.
Even in the matter OF occupatiOnal eff
cheney much may be gained through free and
frequent exchange of ideas with men in
callings other than ones own. suggestion
from one, hint from another, an incident
in the experience of third NAV yield data
Of ncalcuable help in the shaping of ones
career.
But the big thing, the most important
thing, is the social gain that would result
were the coterie habit broken. Broken it
must be if real social solidarity is ever to
! become fact.

Speeding Up Tax Reductions

q HOULD there be no slip twixt the cup
and the lip, American income taxpayers
will enjoy reduction of at least one
fourth of what they would have had to pay
on their forthcoming returns if the current
campaign for downward revision had not
been launched. This seems assured regard
less of whether the Republican or the Demo-
cratic plan, Or a compromise between the
two, be adopted. AS David Lawrence tersely
sums it in his Washington letter to The
Journal: Congress has decided to permit
the people to cut themselves a piece Ct cake;'
and it promises to be a two hundred and
twenty-five million dollar slice.
Secretary Melons first proposal that rate
reductions should not apply to 1928 incomes,
but only to those for the current year, served
well enough for fiscal theory, but not for
popular sentiment. Those who know some
thing of the exigencies of the average citi-
zen's budget realized that to defer until the
spring of 1925 would be at least poor politics
and, mayhap, tardy craftsmanship. In press
ing this idea for adoption the Democrats
have done a turn that will hardly be forgot
ten by voters, and that illustrates the use
fulness of a vigilant minority in Congress.

The Twentieth amendment

TT Is gratifying that no opposition has de-
veloped to the Norris constitutional
amendment proposing to advance the
date of insugurating the president and seat
ing newly elected congresses in the January
following the elections in November, The
house committee on the election of presi-
dent, vice president and representatives in
congress has had the resolution under con
sIderatiou for some weeks, and extensive
hearings have been held. No word OF seri-
Gus opposition has been uttered, a circum-
stance that encourages the hope that the
reform may finally get some.
1t now seems probable that the resolution
will be brought out OF the committee with
a favorable recommendation. and IN that
event we believe 1T will pass both houses by
an overwhelming vote, to be ratified speed
lily, as the twentieth amendment 10 the con-
stitution, by the several states of the union.

BLOOD HOUNDS FROM STATE
PRISON AID SHERIFF'S FORCE:
0UARRELED OVER POKER GAME
WARDEN LEE HAS
ONLY FEW FACTS
ABOUT CRIME
SHOT DOWN ON STREET
Call Comes to Penitentiary
Early Sunday For Blood
hounds to Search Country

A posse consisting of Ell
lendale law officials and citi-
zens is securing the country
with the aid of bloodhounds
sent from the state prison
here, searching for Jack
Baly, alleged slayer of a man
known in Glendale by no
other name than 'Frenchy'
or LaPlante,' after the
Frenchman had cleaned Baly
in a poker game, according to
advice received from Ellen
dale this afternoon.
Baly, after the poker game
in which 'Frenchy' had beat
en- him, started from the
room in which they had been
playing but turned back and
let the other three players
leave first. When he again
came from the room he was
several yards behind the
three others. As soon as all
four of them had reached the
street, with Baly still in the
rear, a shot was heard and
the Frenchman fell to the
ground. He lived for about a
minute but the other two who
were walking with him didn't
talk to him. He. was shot
twice with a As calibre auto
matte revolver.
The sheriff was called i'm
mediately but Baly had got a
good fifteen minutes start be-
fore he arrived. A search re-
suited in no clues other than
foot prints leading through a
corn field so the prison blood
hounds were called for. They
found the trail and followed
it through the cornfield and a
short distance further but
then lost it. No other clues
remain but the posse is still
conducting it's search.
The bloodhounds which
were secured from the prison
have not been returned as
yet, according to Warden
Lee, who was called about
five o'clock Sunday morning
by Sheriff George w. Sears,
with a request that blood
hounds be sent to Glendale
to aid in the search.
Both parties in the murder
were Glendale men, accord
ing to the reports. The as
sailant had lived in town for
about two years.

Milhollan to Attend Meeting
To Discuss Coal and

The state Railroad Commission, in
"A statement issued today by Com

the coal consumers of the state to
order their coal as soon as possible,
and in this way do their share in
alleviating the shortage of cars for
the transportation of wheat.
The fact that the state has an ex-
ceptional crop will no doubt cause a

Ian, and by getting the shipments of
coal out of the way at as early a
date as possible this shortage will
be considerably lightened.
The Commission, according to Mr..
Milhollan, is in receipt Of COM
munication from the Northwest Re-
gional Advisory Board, which is
composed Of shippers, railroad repre-
senta.ives, and members Of state
railroad commissions, calling their
serious consideration to the prob
