IT WAS THE MEN WHO FOUGHT THE REVOLUTION w H O WROTE THE CONSTITUTION.
By Senator Underwood, Speech in
 Senate

You must bear in mind that 1t was the men who fought the War of the Revolution who wrote the Constitution of the United States, and one of the batt1e-cries that they followed on the Revolutionary battlehelds was that taxation without representation is un- just. Therefore, when they wrote the Constitution of the United States they provided in the limitations of that in strument that all bills affecting revenue must originate in the house of repre- sentatives; and why? Because that body more nearly represented the mass of the American people who pay taxes. We may today pay portion of our taxes measured by the standard of wealth, but we had no income tax in
 the days of the Revolution. We col lected our taxes largely per capita; we
 collected them on the food the man
 atte, or the clothes he wore, or on some service rendered. Therefore we placed in the Constitution of the United States limitation that provided that if you were going to tax him the taxing pow
 CT must originate in the house, primar- fly representing the mass of the Amer ican people.

THAT IS CAME FROM SOMETHING THAT WAS BEFORE THAT"
By Ernest Fremont little, in Rock
 Mountain News.

By Ernest Fremont little, in Rocky
 Mountain News.
 Slowly, but surely, the conviction is gaining ground that the fact of evolu- ton will have to be accepted.
 Tn Uncle Toms Cabin" the delici- ous and irrepressible Topsy blandly announces that she never had any par ents, she just grew but we are now in a position to affirm that there is nothing in all the world that never had any parents.
 Everything that is came from some thing that was. Everything that was came from something that was before that, and before that, and before that. No man or mountain, no lion or lichen, no fish or flower was ever created out right. Everything has e1olved, higher form of life from lower forms of life, and these lower forms from other forms lower still
 That is the belief of increasing num- bers of men who have devoted life time to the study of the evidence. And so the conviction grows that however little we may know about the method of evolution, the origin of species, the fact of evolution will have to be reck- oned with by intelligent persons.

THE RASH IDEA THAT IN A FEW HUNDRED YEARS MAN MAY BECOME BLIND"
By Dr. E. F.~Glaser, California State
 Board of Health.

ny LIT. 1AdScF, SG0IS
 Board of Health.
 Because so many people now wear glasses, the fal1aey has arisen that the human eye is deteriorating, and one unscientihc man has ventured the rash idea, that perhaps in a few hundred years the human race may become blind This is far from the truth. Just as the average human life has length ened so the. eyes have become more efficient organs of vision.
 The last census showed a decrease in the number of blind in the United States, and the schools for the blind are showing each year fewer eligible blind pupils This has been brought about by the great amount of preven tive and educational work, and by bet ter understanding in the care and hy- giene of the eyes-not only the wear ing of glasses, but the proper care and the proper use of the eyes to keep them strong and we'll and the proper and immediate diagnosis and cure of disease.

LABOR NEWS ... . ... OUR BELITTLING THE ASSIST ANCE THAT FRANCE GAVE TO
 THE COLONISTS.
By Senator Dill, Speech in Senate.


 For my own part, I can see nothing to be gained at this time by our be- Hitting in any way the assistance that France gave to the colonists in the days of trials in their trouble with England. I agree with the senator from Maryland that without the aid of France the Revolution would have failed, or, if not, it would have been prolonged for many years. Her serv- ice and her help to us were almost as valuable as our service and our help to her during the late war.
 Neither can I see anything to be gained on the part of France by be- Hitting the assistance that we rendered in the World War to her, for, as sug- gested yesterday, we did help to save her life.
 Let me add that I agree absolutely that France has waited all too long and that she ought to make a proposi- tion for settlement of the debt and make 1t now in order that the talk of repudiation may be stopped for all time.

Fred Moran / Died In Service
 Of Education
By International Labor News Service.

New York, Feb. 28-Enscribed on the records of the Board of Education Is the following tribute to the late Fred F. Moran, pioneer in the tri-partite sys- tenn of apprentice training and veteran trade unionist, whose passing several weeks ago was a great loss to the labor movement:
 Erred F. Moran died in the service of those most in need of education, the boys and girls of school age who are forced to go to work to supplement the earnings of their families. He was a pioneer in the task of bringing these children back to school. He was instru- mental in bringing employers and orga- nized workers together to evolve prac- tical syyttem of vocational and appren- tice training in conjunction with the public school system.
 His qualifications were ideal for the task. Soon after leaving high school he went to work as fly boy in a news paper press room. He at once became a member of the labor union of that craft, Web Pressmen's Union, No. 25. He became active in that organization, aiding in the process of conciliation and arbitration which for a generation main tained industrial harmony in that i'm portant industry.
 "He was not satisfied with being a mechanic; he studied nights in Cooper Union and later at Brooklyn High School His duty as skilled workeman, as the head of family did not iner- fere with his ideal to improve his know ledge.
 His first public service came in 1o16 when he was selected to investigate and help outline an education program for printers. In 1918 he served on the Mil itary Training Commission, then the State Commission of Prisons to inves- tigate industrial work, winning the ap- proval of Governor Miller and Smith for his valuable services.
 "rIn 1921 he was chosen to serve the OtdlC DuIC Cdu ol 1NShenDiiite1 ton to aid those who had been injured in industry.
 Meanwhile he, as leader in the la bor movement, had been since 1906 ae- tive in winning the support of the New York State Federation of Labor the labor unions of the city of New York and vicinity for vocational work in the public schools. He studied at Columbia to prepare himself further for his spe- cialty-to aid working boys and girls.
 When the State law creating the Advisory Board of Industrial Educa- ton was passed, he filled the Civil Ser vice requirements and was appointed it's Secretary in 1922. Apprentice train ing in the public schools, now extended to thousands is due in large measure to the efforts of Fred F. Moran. In his death the Board of Education, the Ad- visory Board and the many activities with which he was connected have sus- 1 tained a heavy loss"
 This synopsis of the career of man cut off in the prime of life is an ex- ample of many, who though i'll the la bor movement, are also active in public service.

LABOR BOARD SEES
 END OF REIGN AS
 RAILROADS SETTLE
By International Labor News Service.

Chicago, Feb. 28-There is great weeping and gnashing of teeth in the camp of Ben w. Hooper, chairman of the United States Railroad Labor Board over the fact that the managers of more than 30 Western railroads have made individual wage settlements with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers and Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginen1en, totally disre- garding the recent decision of the board as applying to 43 Western rail- roads
 Hooper and his fellow board members are in sackcloth and ashes, as they see their bright enyisioning of the future dissipated. They now see the end Of their autocratic reign over the lives and destinies of the railroad workers of the country. Totally discredited in this wholesale manner, their chasing of rain bows OCT, they see their finely unhol- stered $10,000-a-year jobs vanishing along with the spending of the $400,0cC a year that 1t costs the Government for the upkeep of the Railroad Labor Board.
 Hooper and his board projected themselves into the Western railroa,. wage negotiations last May, and sum- moned the officers of the two brother hoods to appear before him and submit testimony This they declined to do, setting forth various legal reasons why Hooper had no right to take hand. Following this, Hooper appealed to Fed eral Judge James H. Wilkerson, who became notorious during the shopmen' S strike of 1922. Wilkerson complacently lent a hand and held the brotherhood officers in contempt
 Attorneys for the brotherhood ap pealed the two cases to the United States Supreme Court The hearing in | the first case Tn that court was set for moved up on the calendar to Monday, | March 2, but 1t is not likely to be heard until after the presidential inauguration Hooper and his board handed down . 1 decision" based on testimony offered by the railroad managers at hearings before the board at which the officers of the employees absented themselves, that there should be- a 5 per cent in crease in wages, but "ordered" several outrageous changes in the working rules that more than offset the supposititious increase" in wages.
 The employees refused to recognize this decision" and went ahead with ne gotiations on the individual properties They gained first blood" when they obtained a settlement with the Southerr Pacific of a 5 per cent increase in wage: and no chonges in working rules. The settlements on the other Western road are based on the Suothern Pacific agree ment
 And that Is not all of the woe tha is in store for Hooper. Internationa Labor News Service has learned or high authority that the managers O several Western railroads are seriousl, considering the advisability of ignorin, another decision" of Hooper in refer ence to the wages of conductors an trainmen.
