Restore the CONSTITUTION

Judge Wanamaker of Ohio has ruled that it is no
crime for free American to talk about public issues
This particular decision on specific case in single
state is In itself gratifying and significant.
But Wanamakers ruling that the Ohio syndical-
ism law is unconstitutional should become precedent
for restoration of civil liberties throughout the
ton Thirteen years after the arnstice it is high
time to expect such move
The average citizen perhaps is not generally aware
of the extent to which American liberties have been
assacred by wartime hysteria and its hangover. Just
what would a return to "normalcy"-a retaining OF
the heritage which our ancestors shed their blood to
enthusiastically involve?
1t would require wiping out of the laws which
make unconventional opinions crime in thirty
two states Some OF these laws have been upheld by
the United States supreme court It would erase
laws in twenty-eght states which make the display
of red flag felony-this in country where faunt-
ing the revolutionary trcolor of France once was an
unmolested proof of liberal spirit.
1t would nip the revival in many southern states
of savage and antquaed laws enacted during slavery
and reconstruction in order to apply them to radicals
in 1881
Pacifsts who devoted sincerely to the Sermon
on the Mount would cease being regarded as unde

Yellow Dogs and Teachers

The notorious yellow dog" contracts in mining

occupation.
The state OF washington now is attempting to vic

II hereby declare that I not member Of the

The teachers belonging to the union appealed, but
the washington court has upheld the school board.
To put the situation mildly this is poor way Of
encouraging that intellectual independence and eco
noraic impartianty which is assumed to be prime
characteristic OF those who instruct youth.

Special Capacity in Music Is Unborn

termined easily enough by stand

There is no special reason why a
child should spend many hours at
a piano stool drudging with forearm
and finger movements to develop
the amount of music appreciation
necessary for culture.
Whereas the talent for music is
fairly frequent, the talent Tor art
is much more rare. Out Of g school
| population of 100000 studied in CAL
ifornia only fifty were found partic-
ularly promising in art, and these
were found, SO far as their general
intellect was concerned, Of rather
mediocre capacity.
It is not certain to just what ex-
tent ability in art runs in families.
On the other hand there are ple,tty
Of simple tests which make it posi-
bic to determine whether the child
has any talent at drawing.
When such tests are used children
with special ability and talent can
be encouraged and those who nave
no special ability may be given art
apprecition without spending nu-
merous hours on a technic which
they never successfully can use.

first Of the special talents to make
itself manifest in the child.
Painting, poetry, or sculpturing is
likely to be manifest as a special
talent somewhat later. Popenoe be-
lieves that this is for the reason
that music essentially is a primitive
art.
The recognition of pitch is, of
course, a matter of having what is
called musical ear" The musician
also must have an instinct for style
and order and his emotions must
be stirred by music.
There are some psychologists who
insist that great interest in music
is the response to an inferiority
complex having to do with hearing,
but the evidence hardly seems to be
sufficient to warrant this belief.
Practically all authorities on
heredity now agree that musicality
must be regarded as inborn, because
it existed in the ancestry.
If the ancestors of the child we're
not musical, little is to be gained
by keeping it constantly at lessons
Whether a child is or is not quail
fed to profit by musical instruc-
tions," say Popenoe, can be de-

Tax the Other Fellow

CONSIDERING these facts, Mr.
~ Beck says that it is only fair
to make due allowance for impor-
tant public improvements of more
than local benefit, and for discrep-
ancies created by concentrated COL
lection of corporation taxes.
Even so, there is too much loose
ness and inequality in our tax sys-
tenn, whether as between the federal
government and the states, between
the states and municipalities, or be-
tween municipalities and the citi-
zers.
The prevailing attitude toward
taxation is much ike it is toward
law. Most of US want it for the
other fellow, and about half the
thought expended on it is for the
purpose of making him pay.
The effort to avoid taxes by i'm
posing them on this or that group,
by creating unnecessary sub-di-
visions and classif1cations, by adopt
ing formulae that no one can un-
derstand, has led to a program all
along the line which is not only un-
just and cumbersome, but which in
wolves world of useless expense.

His Importance

l Is almost impossible for the Law
l. man to realize the Importance ~
ElnStein in the world of science. To
the layman, Einstein is a postwar
phenomenon.
some OF his detractors few wears
ago even tried to explain his theo-
rles as a natural consequence of tbe
upset OF affairs in general by the
World war.
But as a matter of fact, the the
ory Of relativity is more than a
quarter century old and Einstein's
work in other fields has been of
such importance that had he not
formulated the relatively theories.
ne still would have gone down in
history as one Of the greatest SCI
entists Of the twentieth century.
In 1905, Einstein, then an exc
amlner Of patents in the Swiss pat
ent Office in Berne, published four
papers.
Any one of the four would have
been sufficient to establish his renu-
tation in the world Of science for
all time.
One was the special theory Of
relatively. A second paper, titled
"The Quantum Law of the Ennis
sion and Absorption of Light" set
forth the idea that light consisted
of minute particles of quanta and
not of waves.
The paper has had as much bear
ing upon the development of recent
scientific theories as has RELATIVELY.
A third paper was titled "Theorv
Of the Brownian Movements" It
gave the mathematical proof that
the continuous vibration of small
particles suspended in liquid was
the result Of molecular lombard
ment and constitutes one of the
best proofs Of the atomic theory.
The fourth paper, titled ''The In-
ertia Of Energy set worth the idea
that matter could be changed into
energy, the foundation stone OF
modern theories which seek to ac-
count for the genesis Of the energy
Of the sun and the stars.

Borah Hits Tax Boost

A DEMONSTRATION officials say
1Athat we can avoid a tax increase
by economizing. Senator Borah
suggests that is something which
should have been thought of before
they set up twenty-six new commits
sions, as they have during the last
two years.
Thus We come TO the question of
whether the executive department or
congress is more to blame for the
repidly mounting cost of govern
ment. Taxpayers are not half as
interested in who started the thing
as in who will stop it.
The most important point about
taxation is, and always has been.
whether people are getting their
moneys worth. Another important
point is, whether they are being
taxed fairly. Still another innpor-
tant point is whether individuals
and communities receive just bene-
flts in proportion to what they pay.
Representative James M. Beck of
Pennsylvania offers some interest
ing facts. With regard to the lat
ter, he says that while such states as
Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and
North Dakota receive vastly more
from the federal government by
way Of direct assistance than they
pay in federal taxes, such states as
New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois
receive only q small percentage.
New York, for instance, got less
than 100000 in 1880, though she
paid more than $9OO,000,00O, while
North Dakota got more than ST.
100000, though she paid less than
$600,000.

It's Soft for us

INCIDENTALLY, Mrs. Grady was
4 expelled from Russia for telling
a joke on Stain. If we had ex-
PEELED every one telling a joke on
Hoover, who would there be left?
That's only one difference between
the Soviet and this country. We
have great deal of unemployment,
but very little hunger.
In Russia, every one has a Job,
but no one gets enough to eat. If
the f1ve-year plan is a success, it
will be because of such conscription
methods and such sacrifices as we
wouldn't stand, even in case of war.
We are shuddering right now at
the possibility Of a tax increase, but
what could it amount to in compari-
son with the tribute exacted from
Russians?

1T is believed widely that talent

Already newspapers report that

and it is said that the daughter of

SCIENCE

Most SavGnts Agree That
Einstein Is the Greatest
Scientific Mind in the His
tory of Civilization.
IF you caught a glimpse Of Albert
l. Einstein during his recent visit
to the United States, count yourself
lucky. You sc zed upon the greatest
figure Of the age. Time will not dim
his reputation, but enhance it.
The century is yet young and
predictions always are dangerous,
but it seems safe to predict that the
twentieth century viii produce no
figure greater than his.
In the years Immediately after
the announcement of his theory,
some called him the greatest scien-
tiflc mind since Newton. Today.
most Savants are willing to ag1ee
that he is the greatest scientific
mind IN the history of civilization.
To many, Einstein's visit to
america was source OF bewilder-
ment- Photographs OF the eminent
Savant gravely saving away on a
Violin to the accompaniment of
Shlps orchestra were somewhat
puzzling.

As Prisoners See LIS

Put a man in Jail for violating the laws society
has made and he is transformed into something less
than human, being to be punished.
Because of this customary inhumane attitude, the
plan just announced by Richard G. Patterson Jr
commissioner Of correction in New York City, is
particularly striking.
Patterson has asked prisoners in New York City's
eighteen penal institutions to criticse their ails and
jail conditions. For the best criticism, he will give
money prizes.
It's not stunt Patterson says he regards this
unique contest as a serious, logical thing.
We believe it is. The commissioner is to be con-
graduated on his intelligent innovation.
