NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
NOT CONVINCED, BUT DlscUsrED

One phase of the process of acting upon the 21st
amendment to the constitution of the United States
and annulling the 18th is the small total of votes
casor and against the issue. Not only have states
which were deemed unchangeably favorable to pro-
hibitiOn voted to take liquor control out of the do
main'of the national government, but without ex-
ception only minority of the voters qualified have
gone to the polls. We observe that this inditfer-
ence to what was for years During issue" has
aroused editorial curiosity, even among those OF
the secular press that have been most ardent adj
vocates of repeal of the 18th amendment They
to dstrust the evidence of what they call the
sudden shift of public sentiment on the liquor
question.
We believe the failure to curb illicit alcoholic
beverages the holiness of racketeering and the
reports concerning drinking among young people
have each furthered repeal but inclined to
add another factor to the situation; one which we
think accounts for the large number of non-voters
on repeal We refer to the disgust justihably felt
by considerable segment of the population at the
undeserved abuse to which they have been subject.

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN

Your Uncle Ike may be only a
hickorypole fisherman, but he
once saw E. H. Sothern anG
Julia Marlowe in Hamlet" and
now that Ed has gone from the
stage of this world to where the
stage has no more curtain falls,
and Julia was beside him as he
went, let me say a few things
about them.
No movie that ever was or ever
will be can make the soul palpl-
tate as they, in flesh and blood,
made mine. He was so handsome,
so noble in presence, in voice, in
personality; she so beautiful, so
gentle, so poised, so queenly; they
played together on the stage, and
off the stage they lived the noble
life of decent and dignified
American citizenship. No Holly
wood scandals tarred the immor-
tally of their fame. They need
ed no prurient advertising to call
to the theatre the wisest, the
greatest, the best, of every rank
Of society. They were one cou-
pie Of whom Shakespeare himself
would have been proud.
What a pity that mere mechan-
les should try to displace such
possibilities on the stage. Surely
We may yet witness return Of
the old heroic line of great &C
tors and actresses to redeem the
stage from its tawdy vulgarity Of
today. Mr.. and Mrs. Sothern
kept the standard high. Their
private life was no less noble
than their presentations of the
great dramas Of the greatest lit
erature Of the world. May re-
incarnation be vouchsafed Us
some sweet day!

CONGRESS WILL
FACE PROBLEM
OF DRINK TAX.
One of Legislative Matters
to Come Before Com
ing Session

WASHINGTON. Nov. 6. (UP).
Alcoholic beverages will become
legitimate factors in American
life under a haphazard system OF
taxation and import duties, which
is expected to form one of the
most important matters before
the next congress.
An annual income to the Uni
ted States treasury of at least
$500, 100000 has been estimated
as the possible return from re-
peal. 1t is more than likely that
this figure will form the goal for
future legislative enactment.
Such an amount was estimated
by the Rockefeller committee, APP
pointed to study repeal problems.
1t also was the estimate published
earlier, by Senator Pat Harrison,
Democrat, Mississippi, chairman
of the Senate finance committee.
These estimates 40 not take
into consideration local taxes inn
posed on the liquor traffic by
states and municipalities.
While greatly in excess of re-
ceipts in 1918, the peak year be-
fore prohibition became effective
when the return was $449,S10,-
900. many believe the $700,O0O,-
600 return can be obtained with
out driving the liquor demand in
to illicit channels.
Their contention receives some
support from the revenues from
the sale of 80 per cent beer.
When this beverage was legalized
government officials estimated it
would bring $15O,000,000 into the
theasury. The average tax has
been $17,OOO,O0O monthly, which
would bring the annual total to
S2O4,OOO,O0O. A falling off III
this amount is anticipated, how
ever, when other alcoholic bever-
ages are legalized.
Taxes on distilled spirits fol-
lowing repeal will be $1.10 per
gallon, or 81 1-2 cents per quart.
This applies both to domestic and
imported distilled spirits. Import
ed beverages also have heavy du-
ties amounting in the case of dis
titled spirits TO SIS per gallon.

Boy Scouts Set
Parents Night For
Friday Evening

Parents night will be observed
by local Boy Scout Troop No. l
next Friday night. This is the
first time that such an event has
been held by the troop and Scouts
and Scout officials are expecting
every parent, both fathers and
mothers, to be present.
The meeting will begin at 1880
and parents are asked to come
with their sons to the meeting. It's
purpose will be to give the par
ents a real view of Scouting and
what it means to their sons to be
Scouts. 1t is hoped that this will
tend to draw parents and Scout
ing closer together by a better
understanding.
Scoutmaster Mashburn stated
in this connection: "If there is
one thing that I hope for next
Friday, it is that every parent
will attend this meeting. 1t is i'm
portant. Scouting and parents
need to be better acquainted and
this is the best way that l know
to begin that acquaintance"

DOES THE EAGLE CARRY A MUzZLE?

Just what does it mean to comply with the
NRA? Does it mean simply and plainly to pay the
wages. keep the hours and observe the rules OF
competition laid down by it? Or does it mean one
must mortgage his opinions, surrender his free
dom of speech and pay lip service to the new re-
gime whether he believes in it or not?
These questions loom in incident that has re-
Gently taken place in Lynn, Mass, and they wax
important in the widespread misgivings of news
paper publishers regarding possible use of the IL
censing power in connection with codes.
A merchant in Lynn stocked up heavily in an
ticipaton of a quick recovery-and foundered as
a result A sale promoter took charge and wrote
advertising copy which cast crude reflections on
the success of the NRA. There was no evidence
that the merchant violated his agreement in any
of his relations with employees customers, but
he lost his Blue Eagle
The case is relatively local in its significance ex
cept as it raises the query, Can the Blue Eagle
be withdrawn from an organization not for viola
ton of wages hours provision of the agreement,
but fc~ the expression of opinion contrary to
that held by the ruling powers?"
As is pointed out by the magazine, Editor and
Publisher. there is nothing in the National Recov-
cry Act nor in the precedents of American law to
support a ruling by which a merchant manu-
faeturer could be summarily driven from business
because of his opinions short of treason. If such
position were to be taken, and were carried over
into the newspaper field, the result would be in
deed serious.
If the basic policies of the NRA are sound
enough to succeed, they can best prove it in a
forum of unmuzzled opinion. Whether in the fields
of publication or of trade, there are bound to be
some who do not see eye to eye with the directors
of the national experiment If they are willing to
cooperate with the general effort far as their
acts are concerned, it should be possible for them
to do so without binding their independence of
thought or utterance
The Recovery Administration has been circum-
spect in its avoidance of the boycott hysteria. 1t
should be in its respect for liberty that is i'm
bedded not only in the constitution but also in the
American fber-freedom of press and speech
