Fight Organized War

Men tell us that it is wrong to
think in terms of internationaliSm,
mainly because bolshevists have
made more noise about it than
anyone else.
The fact is, however, that trade
has become International, ex-
change and travel have become
international, art and education
have become international, and
law must become international to
meet the obvious situation.
Civilization faces the necessity
of accepting an international code
of laws, or of admitting that hui
man intelligence is powerless to
devise any other way of settling
disputes and adjusting difficulties
than by wholesale murder.

TrAaaanAanN


independently
The interest manifested in a number of towns
in this section Of the State in which there were
contests in the local government shows that public
matters still hold prominent place in
L1;o;Jna,co the estimation of many persons. The
~ IN r'~''o best way to guard against the appear
w IOtVH ance of corruption in government is
Government through the vigilance of the people.
So long as they go to the polls to vote
their convictions, they will maintain interest
in government strong enough to be effective in
thwartng encroachments.
If this interest we're general instead of purely
local, it would quickly bring about an improvement
in public affairs. With just about fifty per cent Of
the voters going to the polls it is safe to conclude
that interest in public affairs is apathetc and list
less. The assures of campaign seem to have no
interest for most voters they satisfied with
the judgment which others who go to the polls pro-
nounce upon them. Professional politicians take adj
vantage of this soth of the voters to control elections
and later to manipulate the various units of gov
eminent for their convenience and sometimes
for their own profit. They no longer stand in awe
Of the people because they believe the peop are too
indifferent to their government to who manages
it for them.

SAYS:

The ninth anniversary OF the
great Armistice has come and
gone with it's wreaths and pa
rades, it's orations and prophecies,
it's tributes to those who died in
the war and it's gloomy predic-

more will die.
Somehow the desire for peace
seems to grow less and less as the
sound of battle recedes. Nine years
appear quite enough to let the
world forget what it went through
and to afford an enthusiastic
hearing for those who shout for
conflict yet to be.

Conflict Inevitable

Under conditions as they exist
today, it requires no groot intel
ligence to realize that {. iict is
inevitable, that within forty or
fifty years there will be just such
an orgy of bloodshed as ended in

of survival consists in its ability to
crush probable enemies.
If people are content to accept
that situation as the best human
intelligence can devise, If they are
ready to say the problem is too
big for man to solve or try to
solve, well and good. If not, they
shorld think more about sub
stitl ties than about the Old order

AS far as the future course of taxation in the
United States is concerned, Secretary Melons most
important tax reduction proposal that which is ap-
parently most trivial

heritance tax be repealed
Repeal of the tax, according to Secretary Mellon,
involves only about 100000 in total tax reduction

But, while not a big Federal revenue producer,
the Federal inheritance tax is of great Importance
to States that have such a levy
At present, rebates of as much as eighty per cent
of the Federal tax allowed to States which have
State inheritance taxes. That means these States
benefit; those which have no such taxes suffer.

CAS- the Sun Judges. -

park, on another of Springs prettiest
days, and there received such lawyers
as had formal papers and orders of
court to be signed.
Surely Justice-who, like Mercy,
aims to treat the just and the unjust
alike-must have smiled with pleasure
at the sight. Here there was none of
the stuffiness which sometimes besets
courtrooms.
Here chirping birds took the place
of portraits of solemn jurists in their
gold frames. Here fresh air replaced
the crowded atmosphere of the walled

the sights" Of the National Capital.
Little did these visitors know that
the gentleman sitting so solemnly
there, his secretary by his side, was
an eminent justice who was not afraid
to show his humanity.
Justice Hitz thus took an agreeable
step backward in the direction of the
early judges of the race, who dis
pensed justice beneath the sun, un-
trammeled by thousands Of years OF
lawmaking and Interpretation.
Perhaps the world has gone too far
on its rolling course ever to get back
to simple justice. but there is little
doubt that Washington, through the
action OF Justice Hitz, has set an ex-
ample for all cities to think about.
