Rep. West Urges That U. S.
Stay Out and Improve
Its DefenSeS

This nation should not under
any circumstances join the League
of Nations and should avoid all
foreign entanglements.
This declaration was made to-
day by Representative Charles
West ODD, Ohio, in an open
forum before delegates Of the
National Students Federation of
America in session at the May
flower Hotel. Representative
West said:
"The European nations do
not want us in their league,
for promotion Of peace. They
simply would try to get us in
to promote their own purposes.
STRONG DEFENSE URGED
"The surest way to assure
peace is to develop our own ma
tiOnaI strength, including our
naval and military forces, so
our position might be observed
by other nations"
During the queStlon-anSWer pc
riod on international affairs con-
Quoted between Representative
West and Arthur S. Flemming, ex-
ecutive director of the United
States Society. Mr.. West said a
League of Nations in 1914 could
not possibly have prevented the
World War.
Peace Laws Futile
He said:
Nothing can be done by any
group toward peace when a ma
ton is determined to fight. The
same thing would exist today as
in 1914. 1t is the same prin-
cipIe in any community. When
a man gets out to commit MUIR
der, no law can stop him."
Other events on today's pro-
gram included an address by
Speaker Henry T. Rainey at a
luncheon of the federation. His
remarks were broadcast over a
nationwide hookup. Later, reports

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 80.
Mrs. Jane Candiff, who will be
101 years old next month,
acted as her own attorney in a
Salem magistrates court the
other day and, as a result,
shortly will have either $84 or
her grand-nephew'S automobile.
She claimed the amount was
due her in board, alleging that
she gave her nephew, Albert
Will, $100 to buy a car, with
the agreement that he pay her
by boarding her.
She said she had received
only SIG in board when her
grandnephew put her out of
his home. He contended that
he purchased the car with her
money at her request so he
could drive her to church.

OIL D DOMINION
FUTURE HANGS
ON 100000
State and County Office
holders and Constituents
In Complete Control
By JOHN E. TAYLOR

Thomas Jefferson said the hap
piest people are those who are
least governed.
While the Father of Democracy
controlled not only the State gov
ernment Of Virginia but the ma
tional government as well, this
maxim was put into actual prac-
tice.
Modern day Democracy, the
dominant power. seems to have
gone far off the path of it's
teacher.
This is manifestly borne out
by the fact that the Virginia
Democratic government as it is
now constituted in the form of
100 Independent county govern
ments costs the taxpayers Of the
State twenty-nine million dollars
annually, or about eighteen mil
lion dollars more than they
should.
NOC Like JEFFERSON
Jefferson, who lies buried in
the university grounds at Char
lottesville, must have turned over
in his grave many times in the
years that have witnessed the
growth of this wasteful, ineffi-
cient and extravagant form of
local government.
Practically all governmental
reforms have been brought about
by young men and women who
have rebelled at the unbearable
tax burdens put upon them by
their elders, as is abundantly
shown by political history of the
United States and England.
Every school child is familiar
with the cause of the American
Revolution, taxation without rep
resentation is tyranny"
Under the present form of
county government in Virginia
residents are being taxed without
adequate representation.
It was the younger generation
in Massachusetts, and Virginia
who rose and questioned the right
of the British parliament to levy
taxes on a disfranchised people.
Tax Burden Heavy
Descendants of these same Vir-
ginians find themselves again dis
franchised by the present form of
government. Taxes have mounted
so that thousands of Virginians,
born and reared there, cannot pay
the poll taxes foisted on them.
Consequently, control OF the
State lies in the hands of the
approximately 10000 State and
county office holders and their
dependents.
These office holders naturally
are not going to surrender their
jobs and their incomes, nor are
their dependents going to cut
themselves off from a reliable
meal ticket.
Any change in the poll tax
law means changing the State
constitution. But the obstacle OF
diSfranchised residents does not
stop enactment of county consoli-
dation legislation by the gen.
eral assembly, which would be
operative within 80 days Of en-
actment.
But, by writing into such
consolidation bill the words "emer-
gency legislation" it would be-
come law, as far as setting up
the necessary machinery, the min
ute it was enacted.
The general assembly, meeting
in January, has an opportunity
to show it's sincerity.

ion. It is said that there is no magic in the title of professor, but that each brain truster must make his own way and keep out of serious trouble if he expects to stay on the job.
 It is interesting that the man who now becomes the outstanding figure in the group of professor officials at Washington-Profasso Tagwell-is a far smoother worker than Mo,ey ever was. He does not seek publicity, he has tact and a friendly personality.
 It was Tagwell who, following the promptings of his associate Pro lessor Wilson, convinced the Presi- dent that the allotment plan should be adopted for wheat control.
 George Peak, the farm adminis- trator, rather favored a modified equalization fee arrangement, and there was a period wh2fl it ap- peared that Tagwell might become as much a storm center. in the Agriculture Department as Molsy was in the State Department. But eventually he won over the oppo- sition, and comparative peace fol- lowed.

SOME FIT, SOME DON'T

Some otlrers-particuiarly those assigned to think up new ideas for the treasury-have not made their places so readily. One professor was ejected summarily from a confidential conference of hostile treasury officials.
 When Professors Warren and Rogers were detailed by the White House to study the currency sit uation, a high Treasury officer told inquirers:
 s'One of them I never heard Of, and the other is really quite an authority on dairy matters. >"
 The officer devoted the better part of two days to finding out who these professors were and what they were up to.
 But unlike Moley and Tugwell, Warren and Rogers never project ed themselves into administrative matters. They and various others of the lesser professorial lights have been gravitating in the sta tistical and research end of the government, leaving public policy to the non professors Perhaps this may forecast the final solu- tion of the problem.
