for vetoing the measure: THE result would be I'M
convincing
Which is true. No matter if 80 per cent of the
Filipnos voted to cut loose from the United States
it would BE unconvincing" to those who want to
hold to the islands, man convinced against his
will is of the same opinion still.
Another objection, according to the President, is
that if the United States allowed the plebiscite to
take place it would be assumed that the Admins
tration actually approves Of it and inferentially
would abide by the result. If a majority wanted
independence, independence would be granted.
Inasmuch as the Administration distinctly does
not intend to turn the Philippines loose now or at
any time soon, it would be cruel to give a contrary
impression. Why tie a string to a canary's leg and
let it out OF its cage only to yank it back after it
flies so far.
This reasoning is sound whether one favors
Philippine independence or is an annexatonist
No one who knows anything about the Phil
ippines at all doubts a plebiscite would go
whemingly for freedom. That being the case, why
go through with knowing beforehand 1t would have
no effect on the attitude OF Washington?
However, do hope those who oppose Cuban,
or any status for the Philippines other than
American colony will henceforth quit parrotng "the
Filipnos themselves do not want independence" If
they are sincere they should have welcomed pleb
iscite because negative vote would have settled
the whole thing magnifcently and for long time
to come
The fact, of course, is the vote would not have
been a negative one. Foolishly or not as you WILL
the Fiipinos do want their independence Which is
why President Coolidge, not intending to change
his policy to conform with the result. acting quite
conscientiously when he vetoed the plebiscite bill
The rest of his reasons were superfuous.

For the Good of the World

Just for the good OF the world at large, it is
to be hoped some way will be found to avoid execut
ing the death penalty on Sacco and Vanzett
Death seems to have advanced step nearer
in the refusal of the Massachusetts Supreme Court
to overrule Judge Thayer in his refusal to grant
new trial. There Is a last desperate hope, in the
United States Supreme Court but all lawyers admit
that it is very desperate hope The United States
Supreme Court does not review criminal trials. 1t
looks only at certain technical questions TIC
whether the accused appear to have had the benefit
of due process of law"
1t will be a bad thing for organized society if
these men are executed. Without going into the
question of whether they have been legally proved
guilty, it is impossible to avoid seeing that they
occupy the position of martyrs. They claim
be victims of frame-up Possibly they There
we're many frame-ups about the time these two .Ita
ians arrested and tried. 1t a period Of
historical reaction. 1t was in the redraiding
But disregarding entirely the question of guilt
innocence, the execution of these men would be
mistake Assuming merely for the sake of argu-
ment that there is one chance in twenty that they
the victims of circumstances and caught in
the Probabilities of circumsantial evidence it would
be grave bunder to carry out the extreme penalty
of the law.
The idea prevais-prevails among thousands and
hundreds of thousands of sincere peoplethat these
men were unjustly accused, Their bearing, the at
ttude of the trial judge the facts which have come
to light since the trial, to support such an as
sumption.
But the machinery of death goes relentessly
The law, which can find many technicalities for
escape in other cases, find nothing in the record
which opens by-path Of mercy. Nothing to permit
obvious thing as a new trial.
1t is bad for the country to have its Tom Mooney
and Sacco-Vanzetti cases. 1t is admitted quite
freely that Mooney was framed. 1t is admitted that
he is innocent of the explosion in San Francisco
Preparedness day. But he must go on serving
life sentence. The lawyers see no way out of it,
These happenings breed class hate They are
the seeds of discomfort and revolution

About Tax-Free Securities

One of Secretary Melons pet arguments for con-
inued tax reduction to the very rich has just been
shot full of holes by figures compiled In MELONS own
internal revenue bureau.
You will remember Mellon has maintained for
six years that high Federal surtax rates driving
the very wealthy to put their money into taxexempt
securties-mostly State and Federal bonds-where
the tax gatherer couldn't touch it.
But the internal revenue bureau for the first
time has released detailed figures showing the
amount Of money actually reported by income tax
payers having been put into tax-free securities.
These figures show for instance, that the 2O7
lucky folk who reported income of $1OOO,OOO or
apiece in 1925 had total income of $14,2S7 900
from taxfree securities.
Incomes on which they paid taxes totaled s465,-
100000, or an average of about $2,225,O00 indi-
vdual and they paid s66S67,OOO income taxes, or
about 100000 apiece.
For every dollar of income they got tax-free,
they left out $33 for the Federal tax collector to
shoot at.
The same results are found among almost all
folk who paid income taxes All those making more
than $4,000 year had total income of about $21
OOOOOO,OOO. The figures show they obtained. only
about $170000 900 from entirely taxfree sources
less than dollar out of 500 of their total income
1t should be noticed also that the returns are
for 1895 when the existing maximum surtax was 40
per cent. Every then hoped for tax reduction
in 1926, but it wasn't certain, and these compare
lively small investments in nontaxables were made
in the face of 40 per cent maximum surtax.
If the same argument against tax-free securities
is brought up next session, 1t is to be hoped Con-
gress will have the internal bureaus figures
in mind.

Beyond Our Ideals

There is little doubt, as the Presi
dent points out, that many Filipinos
fail to recognize what independence
really means, but take it for granted
they can throw off American soy
erelgnty without giving up Ameri
can protection.
Some people in this country have
the same illusion and look for pro
tectorate, or at least a favored ma
ton treaty" to supersede the pres
ent regime.
This Government is soft-hearted
and imperialistic, but hardly to that
extent.
1t might reserve the right to land
Marines and safeguard the interest
of exploitation. but if and when the
E'ilipinos become free they need look
for no guarantees of security from
Uncle Sam.
That would be an example of phi
lanthropy which is quite beyond our
philanthropic ideals.

Just a Smoke Screen

Americas opportunity to show the
stuff she is made Of comes apace
out of the west.
Subconscious realization of this
more than anything else, makes her
vince at the idea of giving up the
Philippines.
All this talk OF what we owe
civilization and our duty to retain
control of the Filipinos until we
have completed their education in
free government is just a smoke
screen to cover our anxiety.
We promised them independence
and we ought to give it to them. or
at least name a day when we will.
We would do this IL we were not
afraid-afraid OF what may occur in
Asia. Of the waning of British in
fluence, of Bolshevism and Japan.
We are hanging on to the Philip
pines, not for the things which are
trotted out in the name OF tradition
and ideal, but because we suspect
they may come in hadny at some
future date.

Troublesome Volsteadism

Whv should Marion County be put to the eH-
pepse of prosecuting offenders against the Nos'e"u
act caught by Federal officers?
That Judge Collins should enter protest against
taking IN the time of the grand jury on these mauers
ia some evidence of the confusion and turmol tna'

There is OF course no basis for his protest that
the matters should have been taken 10 Che polloo

Presumably the Federal prohibition agents are paiu

sufficient to make the country. dry
Tho Volstead act under which these Federal
oncars are named is drastic in it's provisions
The acts charged against those who were IN

prosecution under the Federal law.
There can be no reasonable excuse for these
Federal officers spending their time in catching OIL
tenders against the Federal law and then turning
over to the State the task Of prosecuting them
under State statutes.
One of the chief arguments for national prohlbl'
ton is that the offenders violating a Federal law
will receive the same treatment in every state
through prosecutions in Federal courts.
Then Indiana added the Wright bone dry law to
make the Federal prohibition little more drasuc
and has grsdations of offenses
The enforcement of that law is matter for the
State and is the peculiar duty of State peace officers
and policemen.
If the charges against the latest batch OF ac-
cused are sufficient to constitute violations of the
Federal law the plain duty of the Federal agents is
to take them into the Federal Court and place the
duty and the expense of prosecution on the United
States Government. If they were not sufficient Tor
such charges the head'of the prohibition department
has cause to complain of wasted time of its own
agents in hunting violators of State laws. Ihey
might as logically be employed in catching speed
volators or in hunting unlicensed dogs
If the offense charged is felony under% State
laws no one would suggest that lighter crimes be
charged in order to save expense or trouble for a
grand jury.
The whole situation suggests that prohibition
laws of all sort will have some obstacles until there
is settled policy in regard to the law and especially
as to the manner Of its enforcement.
II Federal prohibition is to- be tested,
start might be made by repeating all State laws and
passing the whole problem back to the Federal Gov
eminent and using all Federal force necessary to en-
force it.
That would end any excuse for one State being
wet ard another moist and some other fairly dry.
49, One thing is certain. The whole country should
be dry or it should adopt method of handling
the problem that will successfully combat the evils
of alcoholism.
The spectacle of judges quarreling with prose-
cutors as to what should enforce any law is not
the most pleasant commentary on a condition of law
and order.

What of Philippines

Whose catspaw will the Philippine
Island becomes when the tempest
breaks and whose advancement will
they be made to serve?
Certainly they could not hope to
stand alone in face of such a strug-
gle as is bound to occur. They are
too weak, on the one hand, and offer
too tempting a base of operations, on
the other.
It is too late to rely on the hope
that the Pacific can be prevented
from running red. We, more than
any other people, have exploded the
idea of international cooperation.
BY our own choice. the League of
Nations is an empty gesture and the
World Court an idle makeshift.
We have elected to stand alone, to
spoil the scheme that promised the
only way out and there is nothing
for it but to face the grim music
which splendid isolation implies.

True to Form
in mind

Nothing surprising in the fact that the so-called
Four Horsemen of the city council should refuse to
attend meeting Of that body called to expedite an
election the city manager form of government
The city manager form of government is a
weapon to put power in the hands of the people and
to take it out of the control of such influences as
are represented by these four members.
They belong to that school of government
which believes that public officials own the people
and that an election to Office is license to over
ride the general welfare public sentiment.
They have failed to grasp the idea that in these
days the people are demanding that public officials
serve public interest not impose upon the public
generosity of mind
BY remaining away from council meeting,
they hope to hamper count of the names to the
petitions for city manager election this spring.
No other could be advanced for con-
certed strike against the majority faction of the
council.
They believe that possibly their failure to attend
council meetings may offer some legal foundation
for a fight which the bosses and the machine can
later make and furnish some tangible for
courts to throw out the election and rob the people
of their chance to change from machine rule to
business administration.
They are running true to form. All bosses work
in the same manner. Every political machine has
the same speed and the same motor power.
AS further for adopting the city man
ager form of government and forever ending such a
reign of anarchy, the conduct of these members
at the present time offers convincing argument
The law gives the people the right to change
their form of government.
The law gives the people the right of petition.
For these four to attempt to refuse or block that
right is so outrageous to form new record for
those who have often outraged public sentiment.
How long will the people stand for such con.
duct?

President Coolidge has vetoed the
proposal for a Philippine plebiscitc
on the question of independence.
He thinks that yes or no" vote
would not only prove ''unconvinc-
ing" but place a lot of F'ilipinos in
a false position.
He is afraid, too. that many fail
to appreciate what the United States
has done for the islands, or what the
islands would lose should the present
relationship with the United States
be broken off.
The larger part of his veto mes
sage is taken up with facts and ar
guments designed 10 show what
great advantage the Filipinos enjoy
under the American flag.
His most significant statement is a
pretty frank declaration that when
the Filipinos become free they must
expect to paddle their own canoe.

Trade Called

The original tradition was to play
safe by keeping out OF foreign
entanglements, but the call Of trade
has spoiled it. Politicians sing the
tune, but merchants. promoters and
capitalists have gone in for financial
jazz.
Business is driving us to the four
corners of the earth. Our engineers,
biologists and drummers are beating
up every known field. Diplomacy fol-
lows the crowd, but tells the folks
back home otherwise.
Love of humanity has become q
grand excuse for backing a game
which we hate to acknowledge, but
which we can't resist the temptation
to play.
