Alien Espionage

Danger TO American liberties. and traditions Turk
in the alien registration bills being agtated in con-
gress One bill was reported favorably out Of COM
rittee and was recommitted only through the alert
ness Of Senator Copeland of New York.
These bills may look innocent, but they are not.
They can be used for sinister forms of espionage and
police nquisition. Defended effort to identify
aliens, they could in reality be used chiefly against
aliens in the labor movement.
They are a hangover from the psychology de
portatons delrium" Of 1922. That such products
Of war hysteria can remain indefinitely dangerous is
proved by the unparalleled activity in invoking the
criminal syndicalsm laws throughout the country
now
Some supporters of the registration policy point
to the fact that the registration may be optional and
voluntary This should not fool the public In the
first place the more important bills do not provide
for purely voluntary compliance. But even purely
voluntary registration never would be such in fact.
Employers could demand registration of allen
workers on penalty of discharge or refusal of jobs.
In countless other ways voluntary" registration
could be made compulsory in fact Citizenship could
be denied those failing to register.
The bills have beer condemned by Senator
Wheeler Of Montana and many others. Lieutenant
Governor Herbert Lehman Of New York says:
1T Immediately would set apart alien popula
ton and place a stigma on them. 1t would foster
and develop into marked degree class and racial
discrimination. 1t would open the way to possible
abuse by inscriptions police officers and other au-
thorties in an intolerable degree do not know of
any scheme more un-American in Its conception,
principle or operation"
AS Senator La Toilette points out:
1.-THE remedy lies at the point of entry and not
after the aliens have succeeded in effecting entry.
To attempt wholesale method of ferreting out aliens
in the United States who had entered unawfully is
hopeless task, and would involve mischief than
any good which might out of it. The registra-
ton plan involves spy system
It is symptomatic of the changing attitude Of the
American Federation of Labor that its officers now
actively support this alien registration legislation
Perhaps all would do well to go back and read
bit about our previous unhappiness in this kind Of
husness-the alien and sedition mess Of 1898.

Tickle Supreme Court

Private railroads. gas, water, street car and other
utility companies bought built their plants years
ago at a certain cost Materials cost more now, so
the companies write them up on their books at the
cona presentday cost and set their rates to collect
a return Of per cent Or so on this larger cost.
On the theory that the United States supreme
court can do no wrong this practice must be all
right; at least the court has approved it in the In
dianapolis water case the OFallon railroad valuation
case, the Baltimore street car case and others.
But a curious parallel case has arisen.
In 1917 the American Can Company had a lot Of
tin plate stored. 1t was purchased at $3.50 box.
Tin became precious when went to war. The price
jumped to 81. So the company wrote up" its stock
on hand as OF Jan. l. 1917 at 81 box. The company
sold It's tin and reported in its income and excess
profits tax return as net income" the margin
the 81 cost"
Shall we call this current reproduction cost
the utility companies do?
The United States treasury refused to do So 1t re-
jected the bookkeeping figures of the American Can
Company. and assessed some $3397OOO additional
taxes.
Perhaps they were indignant at being thus treated
while the public utility companies get away with the
same practice the company appealed to the federal
courts The company won in the lower court, where
upon the government appealed to the supreme court
1.-THE courts below" said the government, have
permitted thsee respondents to pay tax based not
upon their actual income but upon amount arti-
hcially produced and enormously called their income"
The supreme court has decided in favor of
the government. In the courts unanimous opinion,
written by Justice McReynolds, it was said the COM
panies "can not complain because item Gin their
RETURN was changed to conform with admitted facts"
McReynolds called the 81 valuation imitation"
But that rule apparently does not apply when the
supreme court majority deals with public utility
poratons

Our Law-Ridden Land

Since the beginning of the twentieth century,
approximately quarter million statutes have been
enacted by the legislatures of the fory-eight states
These figures do not include the larger number
of ordinances passed by municipalities nor the rules
and regulations promulgated by departments bureaus
commissions and other administrative bodies.
This phenomenal growth and expansion of law
has invaded the domain of individual liberty to an
extent unknown in modern history thereby arousing
resentment among large numbers of people :
Moreover. the rapid increase in the volume and
completely of law has taxed beyond their capacities
existing devices for law administration thus impair
and at times complete failure of enforcement. AS
result men beginning to ask questions about law
which are proving embarrassing to those responsible
for the administration of justice"
Such is the sober estimate of current legal de-
velopments in the United States offered by Dean
Young B. Smith of Columbia university in recently
delivered address. The passion for law making is,
however far worse than this statement would indi-
cate For every one of the 100000 laws passed, ten
have been proposed. And most Of the laws from
which we are saved are than those under which
We groan.
Why this great and increasing food of legislative
enactments which threatens to overwhelm us with
unwise or uncomfortable laws? The most plausible
and defensible explanation is the increasing COM
pexity Of life. In culture based upon automobiles
skyscrapers subways and giant factories human re-
lationshipS become much more complex and difficult
and require far extensive legal regulation. An
