PERSONAL TAXES

Efficiency certainly runs riot at the city hall when the time arrives to collect the onerous personal taxes. Bernadottc Loomis. who attends to this gruesomc task seems to have an able and ready assistant in the per- son of Prosecutor Joseph c. Woods. The hoosegow is made to yawn q welcome. The poor untortunates who claim they cannot raise the necessary two bucks arc made 10 prove it. And sometimes even that may not help. It's hard world
 Seems that it doesn't do q bit of good 10 tell the tax collector that sundry taxpayers in town have ments, Loomis can point out. with a show of logic and horse sense. that sewer assessments have nothing in common with personal taxes. and so far as he is concerned let the sewer assessors attend 10 their business while he minds his own. which is the collection of what is due on the notices he never fails to send out promptly.
 Now there is a movement on foot 10 issue some bonds for sewer work or rather. more bonls-trustins 10 collect what is due for past iohs if some Loomis-like efficiency gets into the Board of Public Works. And there also is a plan under way to inn prove the sewer disposal system and the city sanatorium. Next.

HOW NCLLIFICATiON WORKS

Notification of the T.. S. ConeIitu- ton is anathema 10 citizens who be lieve in maintaining the fundaman- tals of American government. Yet it is impossible 10 maintain that nulli- fication Of parts Of the classic docu- ment does not proceed. perhaps keeping pace with modern condi- tons and sometimes being in their vanguard.

Qt course, We are not gong 10 let 1t die" But we can improve our conception Of American government by glimpsing the arguments describ- ing how the Constitution. bit by bit. is nullified-and by the American government itself. The fact that this is being done will not be regarded as sound argument for letting the venerable document so by the boards: far from it. Americans in all likelihood will cling to 1t, in part or in whole. for generations to come ito the time when sufficient courage may accumulate to make amend mcnts under the law and by court interpretations that sychronize with changing conditions.
 The main points of the nullifica- ton are these:
 Refusal to permit Negroes to vote in the South is a nullification of the 14th and 18th amendments.
 Reapportionment every ten years. as specifically demanded in the Con- stitution, has been denied by Congress itself after the census of 1920. One of the accepted reasons is that reapportionment will result nj more wet" congressman reaching Washington from the populated centers.
 Prohibition and the income tax law. often resulting in unreasonable search and seizures, have been car ried out irrespective of the bill of rights against such search.
 The right to bear arms, specifical- ly given in the Constitution. is com- pletely nullified in most of the makes the bearing of arms a criminal offense.
 Tariff changes by presidential fiat. as is made possible under the flex- ible tariff law. is regarded as nulli- fication of the constitutional doctrine that revenue powers must center in Congress and cannot be delegated.
 The sending of American troops to Nicaragua by the President, without the advice and consent of the Sen- ate, is clearly contrary to Constitu- tional requirements.
 The Interstate Commerce commits sion. by decreeing rates that result in decrease of the value of railroad stocks. or basing such rates upon an arbitrary valuation that has the same result, is regarded by many lawyers as tantamount to taking property without duo process of law: unless the flats of the I. c. c. are to be regarded in the same light as law. This technicality is yet to be de- termined by the L. S Supreme Court.
 The I. C. c. in spirit is regarded by many commentators as rather Dl of h af i.,.1 to ho 4A being a delegation of powers by Congress such as was not anticipat- cd by the Constitution. Such delega- ton of powers, however repugnant to the original framers of the Con- tsitution. is universally upheld in our day. by courts and public alike.
 The abridgement of free speech and free assembly. such as have oc- cured in various parts of the coun- try during emergencies and were aided by the application of U. $. law and federal injunctons. is now here in conformity with tho Constitution.
 The foregoing is long list and nry not be complete. Most of them arc developments" that though not in conformity with the basic law had to be permitted in changing time. But some Of them are clear notifications without such amclior- ating circumstances.
 But when everything is said about these things that can be enumerat- cd, the fact remains that the Con- stitution in it's main clements has

League. He has Just been bought
by that club from Toronto, which

The neatest compliment that can
be paid Bassler as he steps into the
minors is the tribute that "He
caught 'em all"
As main backstop for the much

caught more pitchers, numerically
speaking, and more uncertain pitch

for the same length Of time.

by bis valiant, though hopeless,

NEW YORK. ~. Y, Jan. 5.-F-rt
,ooks IKE q prosperous new year for
MILLER Higgins hired hands and a
tough one Q the rest Of the Am
erican league.
Since the Yankees swept the Amer
ican league TO championship last fall
and then busted off the Pittsburgh
Pirates in four straight games TO
prove their rights to top baseball
ranking, Higgins negotiations have
been met with a stern and rock-bound
silence on the part of the rival man
ayers.
Except for a shake-up in his pitch
Ing corps, Higgins hasn't done much
with his championship machine. Re-
ports are that the Yanks have OBJ
tanned title, under cover, to the crack
keystone combination Of the Oakland
club of the Pacific Coast league, Lyn
Larry and Andy Reese. IL they have
been purchased it is probably for fu-
ture delivery The Yankees are pref
