Two .Ianans

Friends Of Japan in the United States have Won
dered during these dark days what has become of
the liberals of Japan For several weeks no word
has been allowed to come out of Japan indicating
that there is any popular protest against the insane
of the Toxic government and military dictaors
Now it is encouraging to discover that the still
powerful Baran Shidehsra, deposed as foreign min
lister by the lords two months ago, is trying to
preserve at least some of his country's decency.
Writing in the Nichi Nichi, one Of Japan's largest
dailies, Shidehara said Friday:
THE deplorable trouble at Shanghai comes at a
time when confusion prevails and when a mistake
the part of Japan will jeopardize her national
existence. The Shanghai affair complexities the
situation by arousing excitement among the powers
If Japan does not act with circumspecton, her fu-
ture will be compromised. -.
Japan should set aside her face-savng and settle
the trouble at Shanghai in concert with the other
powers"
It is not necessary to overestimate the Importance
of the Shidehara appeal 1t is true that he dared
not sign it, using instead the signature, "a member
of the house of peers" 1t is true that his statement
assumes that Japan is right in her Manchurian con-
quest and only wrong in her method in Shanghai
1t is true that Shidehara is tarred with the first
ten weeks of the Manchurian crime against the
peace treaties
But making fun allowance for all those factors,
it is significant that the large commercial class for
which Shidehara speaks dares to challenge the mill
tarists at the peak of war fever.
1t indicates, apparently, that the large business
interests of the country embarrassed by the Chinese
boycott and threatened with world ostracism are
seeking graceful means Of retreat from the mill
tary bunder
If Shidehara and the bankers and merchants are
beginning to oppose the miitarists one can imagine
what must be going in the minds of the oppressed
Japanese peasants and workers. forced to give their
last yen and their sons to this
When we think Of Japan we must try to remem-
Der the Japanese masses who much the victims
of the Japanese lords as the Chinese. 1t is
too early to despair of the japanese people They
may assert themselves.

The Cost of Rackets

The racket, most revolving of prohibitions ill
favored brood, is also its most expensive child &C
cording to book by Fred D. Paisley New York jour-
nalist The book, Muscling In, is published by Ives
Washburn.
Tribute to the new underworlds terrorists mounts
into the annual billions, he says New York City pays
them $200,oOO,O0O to $600,00OO0O year; Chicago,
$200,O00OOO; Philadelphia, $1OOOOO000; Detroit,
$75,OOOOOO; Los Angeles, s5OOOOOOO; Cleveland and
Pittsburgh, $25,00O,0OO each.
These millions, extored from every sort of business
create great law-defyng aristocracy of crime and
wealth. They are sequestered from the tax collector
and deprive the government of millions in taxes
Paisley admits that the racket's father is prohibi-
ton.
He blames also greedy and cowardly employers,
who have hired akeeers to break strikes and destroy
their competitors. The law, apparently is powerless
to cope with these super gangsters, whose crimes
make those of the pirates of history seem petty by
comparison.
Obviously, we need fearless and honest law enforce
ment. But first we need honest laws. Such hypo-
critical and unpopular law as prohibition gives the
gangster his opportunity to corrupt policemen and
judges and make them partners to his crime.

Always Humane


In Klnd-hearted Nevada you may be divorced and
remarked more painlessy than in any other state
You may be executed with equal show of charity.
Like all other states, Nevada catches few of its
first degree uderers and convicts even fewer Those
that it catches it does not ruthessy kill with cleo
tricity, do the eastern commemorative nor
choke with hempen rope, as do its western neigh
bors.
Instead, Nevada has built little lethal gas house
Therein the murderers is domiciled and allowed to
live in regal, if lonely luxury for time Then with
more discomfort than it takes to have tooth
extracted he is sent his way to eternity.
But even this arrangement, it seems, is not per-
feet
Like all states that kill men legally Nevada some
times makes mistakes a., 4 gases the wrong man.
Recently it disposed of Robert A. White for murder
ing Elko merchant. And down in Texas the other
day man asserted that it his partner, under
arrest for Leadvile bank robbery who did the Eko
murder.
The late Mr. White, if innocent, doubtless was
critical of the Nevada system His surviving relatives
and friends probably will not be comforted by the
fact that even if Nevada sometimes kills the wrong
man. it does it humanely

A Cruel Tax

Among the revenue-raising proposals now before
the house ways and means committee is one that
should be rejected with all possible speed. That is
the plan for taxing customers of gas and electric
utilities.
All the arguments that make sales tax on bread
or other necessities Ubiquitous apply also to utilities
tax Gas for cooking is absolute necessity of life
in many parts of this country To the families near
the margin of want, every cent they must spend to
cook food is a problem.
Light is no less essential. To burden the small
electric bill with federal tax levy would be cruel
and unjust
The utility tax is not proposal for collecting rev.
enues from a business that has wthstood the depres
sion better than most of its fellows. 1t is tax
families already paying we'll for services they can
not do without.
1t is a discriminatory tax, not adjusted to the
principle of ability to pay, but designed to fall most
heavily on the urban poor, who can not cut wood
to warm themselves or make candles for light.
The revenue problem is difficult one but certain
Iy more satisfactory solution tain this be found
