To the Edllori
Douglas has an unusual oppor-
tunity of again writing her name In
the athletic Hall of Fame Our
high school basket ball team is
going strong, and we have real rea-
son to hope for the championship Of
southern Arizona, or perhaps the
state Championship. In this case the
Douglas team would have the honor
of fighting it out for the. national
championship in Chicago in the early
spring. 49,
Would this not be wonderful
way of advertising our city? Would
lit not be the part of wisdom to
exert the utmost rndividual effort
toward this end?
The game tonight in Bisbee can
lie made victory with the help of
al of us. Many people have never
seen basket ball game and fail to
realize the numerous thrills that
accompany every game. 1t is much
easter to understand than either
baseball or football and it is chock
full Of intense action.
You will positively get more than
your moneys worth if you will go
to Bisbee tonight and the school ana
the team are well worthy of your
support. You may make all the
noise YOU wish and the victory Will
he. the easier as result of your
presence.
Go to Bisbee and you will want to
50 to every basket ball game for
the balance of the season. You will
like the boys and the sport.

Mistake of Justice

The release of Oscar Slater by
the British government after
serving eighteen years in prison
brings to mind another side of
the picture.
Here was a poor devil who
could not afford a high-priced
lawyer, much less a high priced
detective.
Worse than that, he had a bad
record, and his conviction for the
murder of an aged Glasgow wom-
an, in spite of the fact that the
evidence against him was very
f1imsy, came about as a natural
result.
The public never believed he
had a square deal, and such pres
sure was brought to bear on the
authorities that they committed
the death sentence to one Of life
imprisonment.
One of the three witnesses who
identified him as near the MUIR
der scene was girl of Is. In a
recent affidavit, she says that she
never intended to make a posi-
tive identification, but was influ-
enced to do so by the proSecu-
ton.

Politics and PEOPLE
BY RAY TUCKER

In Lewis E. Person New York banker the United
States Chamber Of Commerce has fighting presi-
dent. His personality and aims may serve to explain
why, for the first time since Coolidge became Presi
dent, business interests represented by the chamber
are engaged in clash with the administration.
Mr. Pierson is dominant sort of person He has
created Of the largest savings institutions in the
country largely through his own efforts. He would
apply the same methods to the Chamber Of Com
merce; he would transform it from clearing house
Of business sentiment into sentinel on guard only
block from the White House and the Treasury. He
would carry the fight to the public-through news
papers and public meet ,gs Within a few months
after he took Office he succeeded In ranging the
chamber against the Administrators tax proposals
aggressvely that it drew presidential rebuke.
Mr.. Coolidge thinks the chambers demand for a
$400000A00 tax slice is much too generous request
1t is probable Mr.. Pierson not displeased by
the notice his policies received at the White House.
He is great believer in publicity. That is one of
the weapons he plans to use in forging great bust
ness bloc, outside Congress and the Government
which would have a dominating influence in shap-
ing national policies
No halfway methods mild proposals for him.
Here is his creed for American business:
ITO discharge its responsibility to Government and
to the nation, American business must become mill
tant. 1t must create public opinion which can
make itself felt when need arises.
1T must stand boldly upon the premise that once
Government has protected ife liberty and the pur-
suit OF happiness, its next duty it to maintain
american prosperity by securing to industry the
dependent initiative which is ssac-=d birthright
from our forefathers"
Thus he has, in spirit at least, attached new
provision to the Constitution, and would have it
read that one of its purposes is ito maintain Ameri-
can prosperity" But the how of the matter is a
question which has been puzzng statesmen for more
IMAM I'D years. Mr. PierSon however, believes he
has the solution and business he says must not be
bashful about giving it to perplexed presidents and
legislators
when Government understands that the National
Chamber OF Commerce really voices the sentiment of
american business he told his advisers recently "and
that the American business man stands ready to
hight for the things he knows the country needs then
and only then will Government properly respond to
the legitimate demands of American business"

What Other Editors Think

is beginning to improve. Such men as Rabbi Wise
have been outspoken in their condemnation of these
things and inspired in their plea for change. There
is today an apparent upheaval in education and poll
tics and other departments of life which indicates
that the self-critcism, though not yet wholly in
tegent wisely directed has at least begun. Every
body is out seeking new ideas and advocating public
discussion of problems of mutual interest.
The widespread interest in adult education, the
thirst that clubs have developed for current affairs
classes surely suggest dissatisfaction with the pres
ent status and wish to improve 1t. Possibly even
ton quiz but lesser expressions of the national
urge to know more than we do now and to under
stand better.
We believe the revival of wholesome self-critcism
has already commenced.

MIR. Melons Cunning

Urging the repeal of the inheritance tax Secretary
of the Treasury Andrew w. Mellon told the House
ways and means committee this
"sThe loss in revenue will be insignificant. Owing
to the 80 per cent credit tax paid the States, 1t
is estimated that in five years the Federal estate tax
will not produce than $20000000. Should it be
repealed the loss in revenue in the fiscal year 1929
will not exceed 100000"
What would any normally intelligent person I'M
derstand from that statement He would understand
that so far as revenue is concerned the inheritance
tax Is Of little value to the Government that in 1929
it would bring in only $7000o00; that the total re-
ceipts in five years would be only $20000000.
The country at large did understand it Wit
nesses before the Ways and Means Committee under
stoop it So Several members of the committee itself
understood 1t
But the receipts from the inheritance tax last
year, after making all allowances to the States,
totaled $1000O0000. This year it is estimated the
receipts will be $81 100000 1929 the indicated
receipts are $63oOo0 Oo-not 100000, Secretary
Melons statement would lead you to believe.
What is the explanation? Was the secretary of
there nothing simple about It, He was telling
there nothign simple about it. He was telling
the approximate truth, but telling 1t in way to give
a totally false impression.
At the treasury the matter has been explained.
years from now the inheritance tax, in his opinion,
will produce only $2OoOo,OOO annually. That pre-
suaably will be due to lowered rates, and increased
State participation in rebates which allowed by
the present law.
AS for the 100000 item, he was speaking the
truth there also-in his left-handed way. While he
created the impression that the total receipts under
the present law would be only 100000 in 1929, he
merely said that that would be the loss in receipts
in 1929 If the law should be repealed. This, it is
explained for him. is due to the fact that even If
the law were repealed by the coming Congress the
repeal would affect collections for only small part
of the year 1929. The greater part Of the estimated
$630000o0 would be collected just the same. About
100000 would escape.
There you have It, The secretary Of the treasury
has told the literal truth. But not since the day
Of Alexander Hamilton has any incumbent Of that
high Office succeeded IN telling the truth in de-
ceptive manner. The performance does credit to
his cunning.
Secretary Melons wealth is estimated at $780,
100000 When he dies should the present law stand,
the tax collectible on his estate would be in the
neighborhood of $5o0Oo000 The secretary does not
intend that the present law shall stand, if he can
find way to destroy 1t.

One likes to read how the Burns

fifteen men in Washington, how
they spied on the jury, how the
Government caught them at 1t

mistrial, how Burns said a jury
needed watching and 'alibied him

McMullin blew this up by swear

all a fake.

The Soviet Jubilee

Soviet Russia this week is celebrating its tenth
anniversary.
Ten years ago the Liberal government of Kerensky
was overthrown by group of Missionaries who
dreamed Of new Elysium where there would be no
money, no wages worry, serious duties, no
tedious responsibilities rich men, no poor men,
God, no heaven, no hell religion, no patriotism
to the internationale, politics, anything
but a free and easy universal brotherhood of man
Broadly speaking city workers would make pots
and pans and clothes and things and country workers
would raise meat and bread while on basis Of I'M
selfish exchange city folks would be fed and country
folks would be shod and clothed.
Capitalism was abolished; money was declared
passe; profit was taboo; gain msdemeanor; in
dependence crime and wealth capital offense
The new era in Russia to usher in the millen-
mum when all would be equal, the devil would be
chained and sordid competition between mortals
fighting, each to get ahead OF the rest would be no
more.
Like children playing papa and mama in a mansion
emptied of the older members of the family, the
usurpers of the Russian empire decade ago started
up perfectly fascinating game.
OF course 1t did not work. Life is terribly serious
thing Ten years have passed and the old folks have
not come home. When the coal ran out the children
playing papa and mama could not replace it. When
the roof began to leak there was nobody to Ak the
roof. When provisions ran low there was no one to
