Law Virtually Helpless
In Bootleggers' Warfare

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
Bootleg murders began In Cleveland
about six years ago. They have in
creased in frequency. The past year
has seen almost as many as the five
previous years combined.
In only two cases that we recall have
there been any convictions as result
Of these liquor war slayings. In most
instances there have been no indict-
ments. Often the investigation follow
ing these crimes has been confined to
few perfunctory arrests.
The lords and the overlords, the vas
sails and the vileins of the bootleg in
duStry and its associate trades kill and
are killed. One royal family is we'll
nigh wiped out. Another may share It's
fate.
Meanwhile the laws stands by, vir-
tually helpless. The revenge and Gus
tice" of the liquor underworld is GER
tain and memorable. That OF the
legally constituted authorities is feeble
and dncertAin.
In all the bootleg Sayings there fig
ures a familiar character, the known
criminal Sometimes he is the VIC
tim. In one case the known criminal
was supposedly serving time at War
rensville the very day he was slain.
Often he is the suspect. Why SO many
criminals are so well known" yet are
suffered to carry on an illegal occupa-
ton until tae:r rivals decree their death,
has never keen satisfactorily explained

Both Of these crashes were caused by
that nemesis OF airmen, an opaque
fog. Aeronautical science as yet has
found no means to guide an aviator
safely on his way when he encounters
a mist that shuts out visibility. AL
though instruments have been devised
to show the pilot almost everything
connected with his operation Of the
plane, none has yet been created to
keep him accurately on his course
through fog. In Goldsborough's case
the fallacy Of the altmeter was again
shown. This instrument registers alti-
tude above sea level, not altitude above
the ground. According to Mockler the
altmeter on Goldsborough's plane reg

Scientists all over the world are

had been conducted with a small tele-
vision apparatus to be placed in front

will be appreciably reduced.

DR.. Leopold Won Auer belonged to that

Of the international aspect of things,
but it is given only to few men to put
it into effect.

world-famous masters he produced by
his methods of teaching The names
Of Elman, Zimbalist, Heifetz, Parlow,
Brown, Posen are known to all concert
goers.
To be able to say that one had
studied with Auer was In itself an
honor. He combined a personal mas
terry Of his instrument with unique
teaching methods which enabled ca
pable pupil to make the most Of himself
More than that, however, DR.. Auer
had deep sympathy with the ambi-
tious violinist The records of his life
show many touching stories of his help

Tax Rate and Surplus.

1t has been taken for granted that
rate for the current fiscal year, mas
much as Congress forbade reduction
and the appropriations were based on
q revenue availability under the $170
rate. There is more interest in next
years tax rate than In the rate formally
proclaimed yesterday by the Commits
sioners for the fiscal year that began
July l. Next years tax rate will de-
pend largely upon the size of the esti-
mates about to be forwarded to the
Bureau of the Budget by the Commits
sioners and upon the action that Con-
gress takes in approving these estimates
and fixing the size of the Federal con-
tribution.
Under $1.70 tax rate this year
barely enough money will be raised to
finance the appropriation bill that
squeezed through by the skin Of its
teeth in the closing hours of the last
session. The result is that a COM
Portable surplus of unexpended rev.
enues, built up during the past few
years. will have been exhausted and the
District will begin the next fiscal year
dependent entirely upon current rev.
enues and the Federal contribution. But
this Is as 1t should be. Accumulation
OF surplus-not including, of course,
the cash balance for maintaining the
city on a pay-aS-you-go basis-is not
only unnecessary, but is apt to work
70 the disadvantage of the taxpayers.
surplus was built up in the past.
FIRST. because Of Budget Bureau pol
Icy that did not permit the Commits
aioners to estimate on the expenditure
OF all the money they knew would be
available; second, because Congress en-
Joined the Commissioners against re-
ducing the tax rate and, finally, because
Congress did not appropriate all the
money that could have been appro-
priated.
The result was that whenever Dis
trict finances were discussed on the
Moor OF the House, the surplus Of un-
spent money was dramatically pointed
out as refuting the claims that the Dis
trict needed more money. When the
Senate sought to increase the lump
sum from nine to twelve millions, the
House spokesman emphasized the fact
that the increase would merely create
fat cash balance to the credit of the
District. They Enthusiastically failed
20 mention the fact that the surplus
was sorely needed for District projects
unattended to, and that its accumu-
lation denoted congressional failure to
appropriate for District expenses, and
not an opulent state Of District Of Co.
tumbia finances.
Next years appropriations probably
Win cali for more revenue than can be
raised by the tax rate now existing
and the lump sum of $500, 900 appro-
priated this year by Congress. The
Commissioners, however, should trim
their estimates to bring them within
this sum. If increased revenue is de-
manded, 1t should be derived from the
Federal contribution and not by in
creased taxes.
