November's possibilities have the
major parties frankly worried. Re
publicans have cause to fear Smith
Republicans almost as much as the
Democrats tremble over Hoover
Democrats. There are so many de-
sertions in both parties that, in the
eyes of many political dopesters. it
would not be strange if some states
changed their political compilations
this year.
What with party issues junked
and religion and prohibition making
the fight heated in personal way,
vote of 35,000,0O0 is anticipated
Nov. 6 as compared with $4,000, 900
four years ago. But when it comes
right down to predicting the possible
lineup of states there is more I'M
certainty and difference of opinion
than in any presidential campaign
OF the present century.

Frederick William Vile, who
writes Washington Observation"
for syndicate of newspapers, rec
emily said:
This observer recently attended a
dinner in Washington at which the
eternal question of prohibition was
the theme of discussion. The burd-
en- of conversation was that it is a
failure and that enforcement is a
farce After half dozen men and
women had expressed themselves to
this effect, prominent European
diplomat asked for the floor. This
is about what he had to say: If
you will permit a foreigner in your
midst to express his view,' would
like to say that most observers in
America from abroad are far from
convinced that prohibition is a fail
|ure. Indeed, most of us are pro-
foundry impressed with its operation.
When we see on all hands the indus
trial results that have come in the
wake of your liquor laws, we are
bound to believe that prohibition is
becoming progressive benefit to
your country. Several European
countries which have tried semi
prohibition are watching the Ameri-
cam experiment with total prohibit
ton. believe they are increasing
ly convinced OF its advantages"

TAKING PUBLIC SERVICE COR
PORAIONS

1
The practice of the Public Service
Commission allowing public service
Corporations to increase charges
enough to reimburse them for taxes
paid raises a question. Why are
these corporations required to pay
taxes in the first place if the state
thinks they should receive them
back? If they honestly owe the
state money why should they be al
lowed to compel their patrons, who
have taxes of their oVn to pay, to
bear the burden for them? II the
state is not entitled to anything from
the corporations then what justifica-
ion is there for enforcing payment
from anyone? AS a matter of fact
this whole situation is one of the alb
surd results of Maryland's absurd
tax system. No one in power seems
to have the courage to admit openly
that the theory of levying in proper
ton to ability to pay is as unwork-
able as it is unjust. This thimble-
rigging with the corporations taxes
| is merely an effort to save
these favored ones from the bad con-
sequences of foolish policy without
abandoning the policy. 1t may be
all right for the corporations but it
| is hard on those who must patronize
them.

CAN'T SPLIT THE PRESIDENTIAL
TICKET

How can vote for Curtis ana
not for Hoover" How can I vote
for Robinson and not for Smith,"
These are examples of numerous
questions we receive daily from per-
sons who desire to ''split" the ma
tional ticket. The answer is: it
can't be done! II you vote for Cur
tbs you will have to vote for Hoover,
and vice versa. Likewise, il you
vote for Robinson you will have to
vote for Smith, and again vice versa.
In each state a certain number of
ELECTORS" are elected by, popular
vote. Voters do not vote directly
for president and vice president, but
for these electors. Each party pur-
poses a list of electors and the group
which wins will vote for its party
nominees-Hoover and Curtis, or
Smith and Robinson. Technically
and legally these electors can vote
for anybody they please, but they
are morally bound to vote for their
party nominees and they always do.

INVESTIGATING UNEMPLOYMENT

A committee to find permanent
remedy for unemployment has been
appointed by Mayor Grooming OF

lowing citizens: James M Motley.

DR.. Broadus Mitchell, Rabbi X

willie. Hopes of good results would
be stronger had there not been very
many similar investigations during
the past years chiefly notable for
overlooking of glazing facts and Of
fering of futile suggestions. The
present committee however is entitl-
ed to the presumption that it is Gag
er and anxious to follow the truth OF
this matter wherever it may lead and
to shrink from no conclusion to
which the truth may point, even
though it run counter to deeprooted
prejudices or challenge institutions
long deemed wise and natural.
No evil would last very long ii II
did not have benefciaries and TIC
suggest doing away with the evils
which cause unemployment must
cause some illwill among shortsight-
ed beneficiaries. That is why there
have been investigators like the
gentleman described in the following
lines:
There's a wellknown economist
And he's deemed wondrous wise,
