Trisecting The Angle

Nothing has so stirred the mathematical world as the repeated assertion of recent months that the angle has finally been trl- seeted. Of course. to the average layman that is meaningless. In face. we don't wish to lay claim to any special knowledge. We do happen to recall, though, the days when it was possible to biseet given angle and prove the problem We have read the many claims to successful trisection of any and every given angle. likewise the counter claims that it is impossible Offhand we'd say that in some instances it has seemed as if the problem had been worked from the end to the beginning.
 However, the latest claim 10 solution from the Very Rev J. J. Callahan, president of Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, has stirred up more controversy than any other Father Callahan, let it be said to his credit has not backed down one iota on his prevl- ous claim. And this in the face of remarks from Columbia and New York University that it is impossible to trisect any and every given angle. Down at N. Y. U., for ex- ample professors of mathematics are point ina to the text book which they follow. On page 90 the author, Professor Dickinson, states, Tt is not possible to trisect every angle by ruler and compasses Indeed, angle 40 degrees cannot be constructed, while an gle l20 can be-
 And says N. Y. U. prof with knowing smile, If Dekinson's wrong, might just as we'll give up teaching mathematics. .' L1o Ir.,. fAe college professor to make. In the realm of science it would seem as if this advancing age might contribute more and more dis covers However up at Columbia the mathematics department was even more severe in its denunciation of the triseetion of the angle than at N. Y. U. Professor J. F. Ritt said It is very regrettable that our greatest newspapers, which spend vast sums of money in getting accurate news and maintain high standards in their treatment Of scientific questions. should not be familiar with the fact that this angle tri-secton prob lem is definitely not to be solvable. ~
 However. Father Callahan is not to be downed thus easily. He claims that Every problem depends on theorem for it's solu- tion Hitherto. there has been no theorem in plane geometry that would give the means of triseeting an angle. It is this theorem that have supplied in my diagram. It may be stated thus; The diagonal and base of a rhombus are the trseetors of an angle. one of whose sides is the leg of the rhombus adjacent the intersection of the diagonal and bsss and whose other side is parallel to a kne equal to the diagonal and irse.seeting 1t Q AZ to make two soscIes trangles with the bases produced. ."

A Minority Hearing

Whatever else this Congress may do, it has made at least good start by long deferred reform. The "czardom" of the old regime, modified some years ago. is father liberalized by ending the pigeon-hol- ing of legislation except by substantial ma jorities.
 Under the new rule, 145 representatives can bring bill out of committee and onto the floor for action. This is one-third of the House membership. Small minorities may still be suppressed - procedure off, ten necessary in order to transact business. But it is now insured that the minority party will have an open hearing on any matter it regards as important. So ends the tyranny of committee charmen.
 Regard for minorties is one of the old American rights that have been slipping in recent years. Revival of this principle more generally would be a good thing. It is right and wise that minorities. not allowed to govern. should still be allowed to argue.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-12-22
Government Expenditures

In the fiscal year ending June 90. 1929. when the nation was riding the high tide of prosperity. money poured into the national treasury in a steady stream. Since then the stream has shrunk so that for the present fiscal year the government will collect about 40 per cent less than it did in the year re- ferred to. This means about $2,000, 0OO,- 900 less.
 If the government were private eorpor- aton, it would have decreased its expendi- lures accordingly. What has happened is that the governments expenses instead of decreasing, have now in this third fiscal year of bad business increased l6 per cent over their total for the big prosperity year. with little expectation of any material reduction for next year.
 It is plainly up to the government - the President and Congress = to recognize the situation and act accordingly. A public actively engaged in tightening its belt and shortening its rations will have little pa- tenee with public servants who refuse to do the same thing.
