Need for Reapportionnent

Fear has been expressed that the present unfair
system of congressional apportionment may lead to
trouble in event of close election this fall Whether
this is true reapportionmen is of the first prob
lens administration should tackle, whether
Smith or Hoover is elected.
The Constitution puts Congress the duty of re-
apportioning after each census. that each State
shall be represented fairly in the House Congress for
various reasons has not performed this duty since
the 1920 census the result that the Houses 435
members still are divided upon the basis of the 1910
census
Some States have more than their fair share Of
votes in the House and have less.
Each State is assigned votes in the electoral COL
lege equal to the total number of Senators Rep
resentatives to which it is entitled so some States
are more or less powerful than they should be in the
electoral college.
California, for instance, will have thirteen votes to
represent her estimated present population of ap-
proximatey 100000, so each elector will represent
approximately $4,000 of her people. The proportion
in Michigan will be approximately one elector to
100000 people.
Indiana, on the other hand, with fifteen electors
to 315oooO people, will be represented by one eector
to 100000 persons Massachusetts, with an estimated
population considerably Less than either California ar
Michigan, will have eighteen electors to their thir
teen and fifteen, respectively.
Of course the constitutional provisions for the cleo
toral college in themselves give certain States great
weight in proportion to size For instance, Nevada
with her two Senators and one Representative will
have three electoral votes for her 1880 people.
The unfairness IS great, in the matter of
eecting President at least, that are approaching
the rotten borough" system of England abolished
in the last century, by which villages of 500 had as
much power in Parliament great industrial cities
There is no clearer duty before Congress than to
correct this situation

Truly Typical

1t so happens that Purdue University is
owned by the State, operated by the State and
its expense paid by the State.
It's purpose is the education Of the youth
Of the State.
The use of a State educational institution
for the personal or partisan advantage Of any
political party or particular candidate is an
outrage upon our theory Of both education and
of government.
1t is truly typical of the state of mind of
those who nominated Harry Leslie for Gov
ernor that they see nothing at all Objectionable
in having this institution stage a home
coming" for Leslie upon its campus and CAPT
talize, by inference, the suggestion that he is
the candidate of this State educational insti-
tuition.
Of course, the Homecoming and from
whence does he return ?-will be managed by
the Leslie campaigners, probably by the sep
arate organization which has been set up to
pass the word among the brethren.
But it is being managed as to advertise it
self as a Purdue function. There will be
football game to attract crowds which have
been missing thus far from Leslie gatherings,
The flair will be given the color, as far as
possible, of a great university enterprise
The event illustrates the difference in viewt
point of Leslie and Daley. Leslie stands for
those who believe in the private ownership of
government and government institutions.
Daley would hardly be guilty Of SO fragrant
misuse Of State property.

Terror of Telling

Three gangSters wound a police
man in Chicago. Then they under
take to kill witness who saw them,
but get the wrong man. The coro-
ner's jury requests police protection
for the witness on the theory that
he almost is sure to be subjected to
another attack.
People who have the misfortune
to know something about the skull
duggery that is going on are no
longer safe. Fear of death by vio-
lence is actually closing their
mouths. They are far more afraid
Of the gunman's bullets than they
are of the anti-perjury law. Repres-
sion Of evidence through organized
and deliberate ruthlessness has be-
come part Of the criminal code.

Knew loo Much

Last Sunday the body of william
D'Olier was found at a lonely spot
in Maspeth, Queens County, N. Y.
His right arm lay across his stom-
ach, with the fourth finger of his
hand on the trigger of a revolver.
There was a gaping wound in the
temple and powder marks on the
hair.
It looked like suicide, and that
was the conclusion first drawn. A
more thorough examination. how
ever, suggested that IT might have
been murder. The fourth finger is
seldom used to pull the trigger of a
revolver. An arm seldom falls across
the stomach when a person is killed
standing. A suicide usually presses
the weapon against his flesh.
William D'Olier is said to have
been an important witness in the
Queens County sewer graft inves-
tigatiOn.

SAYS:

TIME Department of Commerce
1reportS 588 deaths que to auto ac-
cidents in seventy-seven large cities
for the four weeks ended August IL
This is significant because it repre-
sents an increase of IA per cent over
the same period last year.
In spite of all the traffic cops and
regulations, of crosses by The road
side and painted on the pavements,
of all the insurance and litigation
we cannot seem to make any head
way in reducing auto fatalities
They now are running to the tune
of about 1000 a month or $4,000 a
year.
They amount to as much as the
deaths from murder and suicide
combined. They represent a human
sacrifice which equals more than We
made in the war every three years.
Considering the TODD we mako
over some other things, our indif-
ference to the toll taken by auto
mobiles is amazing. We accept it as
though it were a necessary evil,
calmly calculating how many will
be crippled and killed next year and
fixing insurance rates accordingly
The fact that there are many
drivers who have operated auto
mobiles for years without hurting
any one plays little part in the
picture. The law of averages is
taken as inexorble. No one sug-
gests the possibility of distinguish
ing between carelessnesS and eff.
ficiency. The set-up has been SO
arranged that insurance companicS
shoulder the load. SO much cash
for the victim, so much bother for
the driver, so much of an increase
in rates to cover the loss and that's
that.

Cost of Prohibition

We are dealing with a new brand
of criminals. The thief no longer
is content to steal and take the risk,
or the murderer to kill, but aSpires
to protect himself.
The situation has developed into
conflict. The forces of evil are
not organized, but are taking the
offensive. They no longer wait to
be arrested. They strike before the
law moves. The dangerous witness
is put out of the way, the politician
is bribed, the police force is i'm
modified with graft and the ad-
ministration Of justice is made
powerless.
This is not the first time such a
condition has prevailed. Every so
often, the criminal element, accept
ing some unpopular regulation as
its excuse and functioning by virtue
of public indifference, finds itself in
a position to defy authority.
Piracy in the time of william III
and Queen Anne. smuggling just
prior to the American Revolution
and for many years after this Gov
eminent was established, the slave
trade between 1903 and 1855 created
just such a situation as we now
face. In each instance. an unpopu-
lar regulation gave the criminal
element a chance to capitalize wide
spread discomfort and to develop a
power which made it formidable.
when a considerable minority be-
lieveS some particular law is wrong
when public officials wink at the
violation of that law and when its
non enforcement is taken as a mat
ter of course in large and populous
sections, then the stage is set for
organized lawlessness.

Bootleg and Bribery

Significant indeed IS the relationship between crime
and of1cialdom as disclosed in the revelations of
bootleg and bribery in Philadelphia
Illicit profits from Americas major source of
crime, Dootlegging will stagger the mind dazzled by
dollars and cents but the real of the condi-
tions foStered by the prohibition enactment lies in
the vicious alliance between the underworld and those
who represent the law.
Bribery and corruption spell the old and familiar
word graft" and graft is a threat to government,
free or otherwise.
Any law, no matter how fine it's intention or
meaning that encourages bribery and corruption and
