New JERSEYS Blue Laws,

New Jerseys blue laws were openly
fiouted last Sunday and the police
spent a busy day. In Perth Amboy
more than 1000 alleged violators were
listed by scribbling patrolmen. and
other cities reported a large number
Of technical arrests.
Those who walked, motorps. bought
newspapers or chewing gum, news
venders, milkmen. theater owners and
ticket sellers all found themselves on
the police list for violations of ancient
statutes.
Even the police were not immune
Chief Tonneson, while making his Off
cial rounds. suddenly discovered that
he was motoring, so he promptly ar
rested himself. Another officer, believ-
ing in a strict Interpretation of the
law, jotted down his own name for
operating a traffic signal, while a mo-
tor cycle policeman was arrested for
operating a vehicle propelled by steam,
gas or electricity.
Ridicule is one Of the most effective
means Of discrediting fanatic attempts
OF reformers to make the world over
to meet their ideas Of correct behavior
Just what provoked the latest out
burst in New Jersey is not known, but
it is apparent that the "close co-opera-
ton" and obedience to orders by the
police will effectually quell, for the
time being at least, any further effort
to turn back the calendar to the early
days Of history.
Methods Of spending the Sabbath
still constitute one Of the serious ques-
tions Of conservative and thoughtful
people today. Motion pictures. base
ball games, golf and other activities
are, in some cases, classed as relaxa.
tions which should not be indulged on
Sunday. These people are not radicals
in any sense of the word. They are
merely acting according to their best
convictions.
The fanatics, however. who insist
that riding in an automobile, buying,
selling or reading a newspaper, or
any Of the hundred and one ordinary
everyday activities should be barred
on Sunday make themselves objects Of
mil tn and ridicule.

Texas Troubles.

Gov. Ma" Ferguson Of Texas is in
hot water. The legislators Of that
State want to know about some con-
tracts and certain administrative mat
ters and are talking Impeachment. But
the Legislature is not in session and
Impeachment proceedings cannot be
instituted during recess. The governor
naturally is indisposed to call the
members together for the purpose of
starting the firing process. She can
not be criticized for Withholding a
proclamation assembling the two
houses when she knows that they will
forthwith go after her. hammer and
tongs, on the score that sheer her
marital power behind the throne. the
former governor-has awarded road
jobs to favored corporations at exces
sive prices and that there are other
leaks in the State treasury.
Under the State constitution the
Legislature, elected in November. 1924.
and in session last Winter, will not
meet again until January, 1927. II
there were no other means Of assur-
ing a legislative assemblage the situ-
alton would be extremely difficult. But
it happens that the trainers Of the
constitution foresaw the possibility Of
situation in which the executive
might not be willing to summon the
Legislature. and adopted a provision
whereby, with the governor unwilling,
the Speaker Of the House might. upon
the written request Of fifty members,
call an extra session for specific pur-
pose. Therefore seventy members
have petitioned the Speaker and, un-
less the governor now acts upon this
request, he will in the name of the
people of Texas call an extra session,
for the purpose Of considering charges
against the governor, with a view to
impeachment. But here again is a
difficulty. There are no funds avail
able for such a session. The Legisla-
ture when assembled for a specific
purpose, such as impeachment, can
not do any general legislative bust
ness. 1t cannot appropriate money.
So, it is now announced, the proposed
Extra session will be ''underwritten by
patriotic citizens of Texas" This will
offer an interesting and a novel spec
tacle
If the session is called. as now
seems likely, it will meet probably on
the fourth of January, and then the
country will. perhaps, find out Just
how far, in fact, Ma" Ferguson has
peen really Governor of Texas and
how far Pa" has been actually con-
Quoting the affairs of the Common
wealth behind his wife's petticoats.
and that will be still another novel and
interesting spectacle.

American Incomes,

If happiness be measured in dollars
and cents Americans must stand high
on the list of happy peoples. The
statistics Of personal income for the
calendar year 1924, Just made public
by the Bureau of Internal Revenue,
revealed by the income tax returns.
showed that those making returns
had received as income an almost un-
believable aggregate of $29,214763,66s.
Almost thirty billions of dollars. This
income, however, covers only those
persons making tax returns for 1924,
or 7,29S.4S1 in number.
The report of the bureau has been
so presented as to show that of this
grand total income S13.766,136, ,563 was
received for personal industry, wages,
salaries, commissions, ETC.; $7,940, 5O3,-
l55 represented the return from busi-
ness, trade, commerce, partnership,
farming and profits from incidental
sale of real estate. stocks, bonds and
other property, and that $7,474,260,513
was derived from property" rents,
royalties, interest on bonds and notes
and dividends on stock.
1.-THE citizens making these tax re-
turns reported a total contribution to
charities, churches, etc, of s52S,441,-
698, or about 10 per cent of the total
income received.
The Government did not receive
lakes on the total gross income, but
on the total net income, after all de-
ductions had been made. The net in
come amounted to $25,O23, ,21O. 1893.
The returns on the taxable incomes
Of 1924 reflect a really tremendous
material prosperity in this country.
Indeed, when compared to the income
tax returns for the incomes received
in 1928 the returns for 1924, based on
the revenue act of that year with
their lower rates, show an increase of
more than $3.50, 100000 in net income
and an Increase in the total tax paid
10 the Government of more than
s25, 900. There was decrease in
1924 of the number of persons making
returns on incomes under $1,000,
while there was a material increase
In the numbers of persons reporting
on incomes above that figure, a clear
indication that many had stepped
from lower incomes to higher. Argu-
ments advanced by Secretary Mellon
and others to the effect that lower
rates mean larger returns and better
business seem to Lave been borne out
~. me income tax figures now given
for the year 1924.
We are now in the year 1925, which,
it is believed, will outshine 1924 as a
wear of prosperity in this country,
Notwithstanding the present anthra-
cite strike. In industry, agriculture

and commerce the prospects are that
America will break its 1924 records.
Congress Is on the eve of enacting a
new revenue law, with rates still lower
than those imposed on the incomes Of
1924. The expectation is that the re-
turns filed next March for the incomes
received during the present calendar

public for last year.
The millionaires in the United
States, II herded together, would be

the certainty Of punishment and the
efficacy of the law win be weakened.
Criminals will be encouraged. Every
time lawbreaker succeeds by tech
nicality to evade or postpone punish
ment, lawbreaking is promoted.
A way out of this admittedly diff
cult situation is surely to be found, to
Connecticut against murder may be
carried into effect. The success of this
shrewd maneuver to save the life of
a man whose life is forfeit would be a
blow to public safety and public

Chapman's Habeas Corpus.

Those who are now studying the
cause of crime in the United States
and seeking a remedy for the in
creasing prevalence of lawbreaking
may find material in the latest de-
velopment in the case of Gerald
Chapman, who has been sentenced to
be hanged a week from next Thurs
day for the murder Of a policeman
in New Britain, Conn. This murder,
of which Chapman was convicted In
a Connecticut court, occurred while
Chapman was at large. a fugitive
from the Federal prison at Atlanta
where he was serving a sentence of
twenty-five years for participation in
a mail robbery. All appeals having
been exhausted in Connecticut, Chap.
mans attorneys have now sought to
have him returned to the penitentiary
at Atlanta to serve out his term as a
Federal prisoner. They have there
fore secured a writ of habeas corpus
from the Federal judge at New Ha-
delivery Of Chapman to the United
States for transfer to Atlanta. The
Governor of the State has announced
that If the writ is finally issued he
will sign reprieve staying the execu.
ton indefinitely. Meanwhile, confer
ences are being held in this city re-
garding the possible procedure in the
event the writ is made specific. It
has been proposed that in that case
he President should grant a pardon
to Chapman to end his term as a Fed.
eral prisoner Immediately, so that he
could then be turned back to the State
of Connecticut for execution. Chap
mans attorneys, however, assert that
he has legal right to reject a pardon
or a communication of sentence.
It is doubtful if another such case
has ever arisen. Yet it is, with all
it's peculiarities, characteristic of the
procedure to prevent the execution of
the law invoked in most cases. This
man is guilty of murder and has been
condemned to death. He has eX-
hausted all his appeals. Yet an at
tempt is made to thwart the law by
invoking his own criminal record and
utilizing a prior conviction for a long
term to stay his execution. Should
this move succeed and Chapman be re-
manded to Atlanta to serve out his
long term Of imprisonment there the
law will have been defeated. He will
