credit him with higher motive than
Mr.. Taft seems willing to concede

The tax-spending few, existing or
hoping to exist, are strong for these
measures, but the taxpaying many
are against them.
An encouraging thing about the

as dangerous as in England Is some
thing worth thinking about. AS a
matter of fact murderer in the
United States has to risk only about
one chance in ten of execution, while
in Britain he has almost no likeli-
hood of escape. Why?
AS a general thing our law is bas-
ed on English law, and that is good.
In England a murderer is frequently
arrested, tried, convicted and ex-
ecuted within five or six weeks of his
crime. A trial that takes over three
days is remarkable. There are no
legal acrobatics such as characterize
our criminal practices. The Thaw
trials could never have occurred
there. The Nan Patterson case
would have been impossible as con-
Quoted in New York. The Loer-
Leopold trial in Chicago would have
been cut short by an English judge
and Mr. Darrow's ingenious theories
dropped in the judicial waste basket.
The average American citizen
may shrug his shoulders and insist
that personally he feels there should
be more liberty of action than is
granted abroad that after all it is
better that ten guilty escape than
that one innocent suffer, and that
anyway we get along pretty well. 1t
is difficult to show him that the in

Taxes And Politics

We notice that so consistent and
earnest a Republican newspaper as
The Marion Star praises Gov. Dona-
hey in the highest terms for his
veto of the bill requiring real estate
reappraisements throughout the
state at regular intervals, a mea-
sure calculated to increase taxes
and give public authority more
money to spend Mr.. Taft, the Re-
publican leader of the house of rep
resentatives, says that the governors
motive in vetoing this bill was po-
litical. Well, if that is so. it was
good politics. And so was his veto

large number of probation officers
and so was his veto of the gasoline

WHY Juries Don't Convict

Why juries fail to convict is be-
cause of mediocre mentality, dislike
of responsibility, and the well-es-
tablished American inclination to
stand for anything, even crime, if
it causes us much personal incon-
venience. We cannot overlook as
contributory causes the acknowl-
edged fact that our court system is
below par and that our system for
selecting jurors could be tremend-
ously improved upon. Our national
record of 10000 homicides plus, for
1928 is something that should cause
US little sober thought, to put the
matter conservatively. Compared
with the British figure of approx
mately $50 for the same period we
have little to offer in excuse for the
charge of lawlessness. A figure that
shows human life to be seventeen
times safer in England than in the
United States, or, that makes living
in the United States seventeen times

States must bear some relation to
the rising costs of living and gov

affected ty the leniency of juries;
that you cannot permit swindlers to

QUICK RELIEF FROM
CONSTIPATION
Get DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

That is the joyful cry of thousands
since DR.. Edwards produced Olive
Tablets, the substitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards, a practicing physician
for IL years and calomel's old-time
enemy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but healing, soothing
vegetable laxative.
No gripping is the keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab
lets. They cause the bowels and liver to
act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action.

evening, a record for the year. while
Milwaukee reported rise from 80 to
