Old-Age Pensions
Why Not Hunt Cold?
Bad News Comes Out
Future of Television

Calvin Coolidge has written his
opinion that old-age pensions are
not advisable. Says he: "What a
self-respecting people really needs
is not system of old-age pensions
but population made sufficiently
skilled by education and sufficient
ly sef-controlled and we'll disposed
by the help of religion, so that old
age pensions would be a superflu-
lily. Unless real reform comes from
within, the problem will never be
solved

After you have taken all the
work out of an old horse you
should either knock him on the

After it has taken all the work
out of old men and women, their
country can't knock them on the
head and, therefore, having had
their work, it ought to feed them.

Television, which means seeing
affair."" has it's real beginning, and
in the usual way. Men made tools
of bronze to kill each other more
easily than with tlints, and the iron
age came to supply better killing
tools. Now bronze and iron are
useful apart from killing. Tele-
vision is used to flash stock quo
tations, a whole row of them, to
any earthly distance in a fraction
of a second, making the stock ticker
as old-fashioned as the stage
coach. Young Mr.. Vincent Astor,
catching turtles on the Galapagos
islands, could have on his yacht
an instrument that would show him,
before any Wall street man could
know it, that he made mistake in
buying sugar stock.
Later television will be useful
apart from stock speculation. Some
Einstein, Moses, Maimonides or
Spinoza of the future may be seen
and heard by the whole world
standing on Mount Ararat, sending
out q message of vital importance
that nobody but himself will under
stand.
Gandhi is freed by Britain after
nine months in a comfortable Jail,
and is said to find freedom oppres-
sive. Leading 320,000,000 Asiatics

of them insist on killing the others,
and there is no particular place to
which they can be led. Drive Brit
ain out of India and millions would
die off or be killed off every year,
and Gandhi, intelligent and well
meaning, knows it.

BINGHAM TO OFFER
WET AMENDMENT
Proposes to Submit Repeal
OF 18th to Constitutional
Conventions.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

In an effort to get an expression of
popular opinion on the question Of ma
tional prohibition, Senator Bingham
today prepared proposed amendment
to the Constitution which he wiz In
troduce at the coming session Of Con-
gress.
His amendment. providing for the re-
peal of the eighteenth amendment,
would be submitted to constitutional
conventions In the States, which con-
ventions shall be composed In each
State of delegates elected by q ma iority
vote Of the electors Of the State"
The Connecticut Senator has adopted
this form Of proposed constitutional
amendment 50 as to assure real tap
ping of popular sentiment on the pro-
hibition amendment. It has been his
fear that unless Congress should under
take to prescribe the method of elect
ing the delegates TO the State constitu-
tional conventions, the State Legisla-
lures, In providing for these conven-
tions, would merely set up replicas Of
themselves.
Prepares Resolution.
Owing to the distribution of members
of State Legislatures In some of the
States the will Of the people as q
whole Is dificult to reflect. This is
true in New York, for example, and
in Connecticut, where the unit of rep
resentation in the State Legislature
is not at all governed by the size Of
the population, but where small towns
may have as many representatives In
the Legislature as the large cities.
Senator Bingham's resolution pro-
posing an amendment to the ConStitu-
ton Of the United States is as fol-
lows:
THAT the following is proposed as
an amendment to the Constitution
which shall be valid to all intents and
purposes as a part of the Constitu-
ton when ratified by conventions in
three-fourths of the several States,
which conventions shall be composed
in each State of delegates elected by q
majority vote Of the electors Of the
State;
"'Article 18 of the amendments to
this Constitution is hereby repealed.
The power to regulate or to prohibit
the manufacture, sale or transporta-
tion of intoxicating liquors Is reserved
to the several States. The Congress
shall have the power to regulate the
sale or transportation Of intoxicating
liquors in interstate commerce in q
manner not to abridge or deny the
powers herein reserved to the several
States"

BRUEN|NG'S TARIFF
RIGHTS BROADENED
Decree Empowers Chancellor
to Raise Duties and Make
New Customs Treaties.
rx tha Asanciata press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, December lin one Of the
shortest DEGREES he ever issued, Presi-
dent Won Hindenburg today gave the
Bruening government almost unlimited
power to raise customs duties to pro-
hibitory point.
During the Reichstag recess, until
next February %, it empowers the gov
ernment, "in the event of stringent eco
ncmic necessity" to change the present
customs schedule and to enter into q
system of bilateral treaties with foreign
countries.
These things may be done without
quarters the decree was regarded as
empowering negotiations with England
to agree to tariff schedules without SUBJ
mitting the agreement for ratification.
Observers here thought that part of
the decree referring to new treaties
might bring protests from nations now
exchanging most favored nation treat
ment with Germany.
The decree itself contains only about
25 words making it one of the briefest
and at the same time one of the most
powerful since Chancellor Bruening be-
gan governing by edict.
1t reads THE government is given
power during recess of the Reichstag, in
the event of stringent economic neces-
sity, /, to change existing import du-
ties: 2, to effect a system of temporary
bilateral treaties with foreign coun-
tries"

While many Of their comrades were
reported en- route to Washington for an
appeal to Congress for relief, IA radical
marchers were convicted today by
Judge Isaac r. Hit in Police Court of
unlawful parading in front Of the White
House, and were sentenced to pay fines
Of 500 each or serve six months in Jail
Judge Hit delivered his verdict de-
spite the plea of defense counsel that
only the leader Of the marchers should
be held responsible for their lack of
permit. It is believed that none of the
group will be able to pay the fine.
Police testified that they broke up the
gathering as they we're marching in
front of the White House with placarGs
last Friday. With repeated objections
and argument from defensa counsel,
Charles e. Ford, the trial lasted several
hours.
Dismissal Plea Overruled.
Police were unable to identify the
placards with the persons who carried
them, and Judge Hit ruled this was un-
necessary. After policemen completed
their testimony, Attorney Ford ques-
toned the authority OF the dlrector OF
r.iblic buildings and public parks to
grant permits for parades and public
gatherings, admitting that his clients
were without such a permit.
Judge Hit overruled Ford's motion
for dismissal of the case on these
grounds.

PARTY REGULARITY QUESTION
Hefiin Had Been Excluded From Demo-
cratic Primary.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, December
R).-Senator John H. Bankhead, run
ming on the Democratic ticket, defeated
Senator j. Thomas Heflin, seeking re-
election on an independent ticket after
80 years in Office as a Democrat, by a
majority OF approximately $4,000 in No.
vember, 1880.
Immediately after the election former
Senator Heflin issued statement de-
claring the election fraught with ir-
regularities. He claimed ne had been
elected by 100000 majority and served
notice he would file a contest. He
termed the election as colossal piece
Of ballet thievery."
Party regularity was principal issue
at stake in the election, as Hefiin had
been excluded from the Democratic
primary under an eligibility rule estab-
lished by the State democratic Execu-
tive Committee. Under this rule no
persons who had failed to support"
the partys ticket in the 1923 presiden-
tial campaign could become a candidate
for State or Federal Office, but could
participate as a voter.
The former Senator, in his campaign.
attacked this ruling as invalid and il
legal and claimed the primary in which
Senator Bankhead was nominated was
illegal. The independent speakers dur
ing the general election campaign
charged that the vote, approximating
165, 900, was padded"
Legality Of the pledge taken by voters
In the 1928 primary to support the party
ticket in the general election also was
attacked by the independents.
