in as many cities that employ one
way radio from headquarters to
cruising cars, and that the cities
of Boston, Providence. Syracuse,
Buffalo, Bayor1ne and Eastchester,
Mass, also use two-way radios on
their cruising cars.
The development Of exceedingly
light two-way equipment In recent
months augurs extension OF this
service henceforth, for the send
ing sets can be operated by nom
technicians as simply as the re-
ceiving sets can be operated. The
portable equipment usually en-
ploys lapel microphones Of the
type used on the floor Of the Re-
publican and Democratic national
conventions last year-micro-
phones that can be pinned to the
coat, and that are not much larger
than silver dollar.
The complete outfits are now
being made as light as six pounds,
most of the weight being the bat
teries that power the transmitters.
They have range of several miles
and use wave lengths OF the order
Of $4,000 kilocycles (5 meters !.
The receiving sets are incor-.
porated in the unit and take up
relatively little space. In fact, re-
ceiving sets alone have even been
built that are so small they can
be encased in an ordinary pocket
watch case. That practically all
policemen some day will carry re-
ceivers, If not transmitting outfits

REPEAL AND THE BooTLEGGERs

Convinced that the repeal of the 18th amend
ment is now certainty and that it may come be-
fore another year has passed. the Wall Street jour-
nal looks forward to a time, perhaps not distant,
when ''the question of employment for the bootleg
gers will become serious matter" Its thought IS
that they may be tempted to employ the training
they have experienced in the botlegging business
in the effort to collect living from society in
ways that society will not like, in various forms Of
racketeering, for example.
Well this may be something else to worry about,
but perhaps not so soon the Wall Street Journal
anticipates. In the first place, it has been claimed
that the bootleggers have not waited for the pass
ing of national prohibition to try their hands at
racketeering The idea has been that most of the
rackets or at least large part of them, have been
engineered by the same master minds" which con-
troled the bootleg industry. In the second place,
if Frank Kent of the Baltimore Sun is correct in
his theory, it will be long while before we get
rid of the bootleggers following the legalization OF
the liquor traffic in many of the states.
Mr.. Kent bases his view the fact that, assum
ing that repeal carries late this year some time
next year. there will be in the United States less
than 100000 gallons of whiskey available when
the last state acts that being the estimated amount
now in the bonded warehouses. Less than 1000,
900 of that is old liquor says Mr.. Kent, the resi-
having been made under medicinal permits since
1929. Importations from Canada and other coun
tries will be slowed down by the customs duty OF
SIS gallon imposed under the Smoot-Hawley tariff
The government excise tax is $6.40 gallon. Thus
gallon of Canadian whiskey would have to stanC
tax of S11.40. That would make it come prett!
high, so high that Mr.. Kent does not think that thu
bootlegger will vanish very soon.
Those who under the impression that there
will be plenty of legalized liquor available in those
states that want it soon repeal goes through
are going to find that they are mistaken, and the
price of liquor is going to be factor in its con
sumption This has been the case in England where
the rise in prices is reported to have been pow.

HIGH COST OF WET REVENUE

Is the American nation in such desperate finan-
cial straits that it must embark upon a program
inherently harmful for the sake of the revenue to
be raised by such policy? Would any self-respect-
ing citizen have our government legalze public lot
teries, traffic in heroin and other deadly drugs or
interstate white slavery, on the grounds that thew
could be heavily taxed? With liquor, as with other
vice-forming habits, should not America take a
fearless stand on the side of public morality?
Repeahsts of the 18th amendment have laid snc-
cal stress on the revenue to be procured from the
legahzed sale of intoxcants. They have promised
tne people remission of taxes, multiplication of
Joos' reduction of debts and new highs in the cir
cuIatlon Of cash as the first fruits of "the orderly
sale OF hquor' Orderly sale of liquor is something
the world has never known since Bacchus was en-
throned among the gods of the pagans. But let us
suppose that 1t could be. What then?
Even If the whole cost of government could be
PAID by tax on intoxicants, what profit would it
nring to the man in the street? Who paid the
hquor taxes IN the days before prohibition? It is
true that dlstillers, brewers and saloon keepers
wrote the checks, but who supplied the money 70
make these checks good? The individual drinkar
paid every penny of the liquor taxes, at what cost

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
PRESERVATION OF GAME

DR.. William T. Hornaday, naturalist and author
declares that American game birds are disappear
ing so rapidly that the federal government alone
can save them. Asserting that the government has
done much to protect migratory game by establish
ing bag limits and shortening the open season, he
declares that other steps must be taken to prevent
determination of all game within the next few
years.
"The killing of game by the aid of batting and
the use of live decoys," says DR.. Hornaday, never
will be voluntarily discontinued by the states whose
hunters most extensively practice those deadly and
unfair methods. As usual the federal government
must act as it had to do to reduce bag limits and
open seasons"
The foregoing comment especially refers to duck
geese and other waterfowl but Dr. Hornaday also
sees menace to other game birds when he says
of the investigation made by the Permanent Wild
Life Protection Fund, of which he is a director:
"Our studies during the last six months have con-
WINGED us that state by state our upland game
birds are reaching the vanishing point and that
nothing save bold and drastic work by the federal
government, through the department of agriculture
and backed by the president ever can save our
waterfowl and marsh birds basis of low-limit
shooting confined to the annual increase"
All students of wild life agree with Dr. Horn
aday. They know that many evils care bearing
down upon our remnants of game but they also
know that it will be difficult task to induce the
states to permit the federal government to dictate
term for the preservation of non-migratory birds.
States that will not enforce the laws on their
books for the preservation of game birds simply
do not care whether or not they exist. The same
NAV be said of fish. Laws passed by the
states for their protection but the laws are freely
and openly broken. Education of the public has
.,oved slowly insofar it relates to the conserva-
on Of wild life, and before the majority is ready
70 force law enforcement little will be left of up
land birds and animals and streams will be with
out fish,
In South Carolina fish and game are disappear
ing. There may be those in official quarters who
will deny that statement Blu those who hunted and
fshed 90 to 40 years ago know that one of the
states greatest natural has been bled to
the bone.-Spartanburg Herald.

WHERE is DISARMAMENT FAILURE
DRIVING US? .....
(By BRUCE CATION

As the world disarmament conference
puts off until October the task of reaching
some sort of agreement, Secretary of the
Navy Swanson announces a plan to build
the U. S. navy up close to treaty strength !;
and once again it becomes painfully evil
dent that the job of cutting down the
worlds military establishments is almost
impOssibly difficult.
There are more men under arms today
than there were in the spring of 1914. The
worlds annual expenditures for national
defense are far higher today than they
were in 1914. The suspicious, fears and
jealousies which led up to the war in 1914
are duplicated today by emotions equally
strong and equally dangerous.
Last winter Gen. Douglas Macarthur, u.
S. army chief of staff, compiled some fig
ures on the worlds armies. He showed
that Europe, Japan, China and the United
States are keeping a total of 6,207,53 men
in uniform. To do this, and to maintain
their navies, these nations are spending
around $4,000, 100000 year.
Before the war those armies numbered
4,063,00O, and the total military expendi-
lures were about $2,50O,0O0,OO0 annually.
Those facts in themselves are dismaying
enough. But when you contrast them with
the high promises all world statesmen
made their people during and Immediately
after the war, the situation becomes even
more discouraging.
We were told, then, that the nations of
Che world would make new effort to keep
the peace. The League of Nations would
help settle disputes; there would be non
aggression treaties, arbitration agreements
and what-not to make war less likely; the
frightful sacrifices of the World war would
be justified by the fact that no such war
could ever happen again.
Into the Versailles treaty was written
the pledge that the World wars victors
would disarm just as soon as they possibly
could.
And today disarmament looks farther
away than ever, armies are bigger thar
ever, and more gold than ever before is
being laid on the altar of the god of war
What's the answer? Will we stumble
blindly along until at last we trip into {
worse war than the last one-or will We
finally insist that statesmen live up to THEN
promises and give us the disarmament they
have promised?
