Throughout the approaching season

velop this radio achievement has been
made as a. result of two successful
experiments made last year when
Faust and II Trovatore were broad

from New York to Denver, from the
ice fields of northern Canada to the
baked beaches of the Gulf of Mexico
will all join in relaying the operatic
melodies to millions of unseen hearers.

ment believes that the objection to
the wholesale broadcasting of opera,

enter active competition with itself

in the past for existing) is done away

WASHINGTON. The principle OF
state rights, instead Of being lmmu-
table. has long been political foot
ball alternately carried for touch
down or a touchback on the grldlron
of expediency.
Persons who go along for years
without caring a Whoop about that
hoary principle are often suddenly
heard to emit loud yeIps OF anguish
when it appears that their own inter
ests NAV best be preserved or safe
guarded by such tactics.
The only person who bellows about
state rights all the year around is the
Hon. Albert G. Ritchie, governor OF
Maryland.
The state rights cry, for instance,
was used against such moral reforms
as the prohibition and child labor
amendments. Apparently it got no.
where in the first instance and
emerged triumphant in the second be-
cause money and industry favored
prohibition and were somewhat cold
toward the child labor measure.
The principle of state rights IS
again an issue as Bill Ware and Frank
Smith undertake to clinch their seats
in the senate despite the charges
against them Their friends, republl-
cans of course, are beefing to the
effect that it is the only real prin-
ciple the democrats have had since
the Civil war and here they are turn
| ing out two men legally elected by the
people of Pennsylvania and Illinois.
Most recently of all, the national
council of state legislatures came be-
fore the house ways and means COM
mittee as it. held tax bill hearings.
Its m e m b ers announced bellicoSely
| that they would launch "a new era
| in government" that ''it is time to
call a halt to this tendency of con-
gress to usurp the powers of the state
governments" and that Sit is incum-
bent upon us to warn congress that
uSurpation of state powers must
cease"
But. it developed that the "state
rights advocates had nothing in mind
but repeal of the federal inheritance
tax which, in effect, makes it difficult
for states to attract wealthy citizens
within their borders by relieving them
of such estate taxes.
Regardless of the merits of the
tax, the ways and means committee
appeared unimpressed by the. flaunt-
ing of the state rights banner Thus
bearded in their den, veteran con-
gressmen handled the mere legislators
like a faculty sitting on group OF
recalcitrant school boys. Down here
it's not often that a congressman can
high-hat anyone, so they probably
enjoyed themselves.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
THE FUTILE REVENGE

When Shakespeare penned his earliest
play
His brother playwrights said,
Its curious how he gets away
And how his stuff got read.
No wonder tap room boys and cooks
Are hard to find these days
They either all are writing books,
Or else they're writing plays.
1--WE hate to knock such silly bunk,
But who told this poor guy
That such a witless bunch of junk
Was likely to get by?"
But Just the same the people came
In crowds to see the show
All season long it went so strong
1t played to S. R. 0.
When Shakespeare grew so rich at
last
He wouldn't take chance
In going out to find a cast
without big advance
His brothers cried "Egad
If that stuff makes hit
If people really like 'em bad
It's time for us to quit"
And so they dropped their pens
because
Of their alleged despair
A hideous revenge it was,
Yet no one seemed to care
Upon the strife and toll OF life
This gives us a fair slant
Don't knock a man because he can
Do something that you can't.
