Issues and Men

BY Oswald Garrison Willard
EDITOR The Nation
Editor The Nation

In the following article the well
known editor of The Nation. Mr..
Willard. shows up the folly of think
ing that because a person has made
a success in one line he should
then be looked upon as all wise and
an EXPERT in many lines. He blameS
the newspapers to a great extent for
having brought about that concep-
ton through their quoting opinions
Of financial powers and captains OF
industry on various questions. The
article, in the last issue of The
Nation. also reveals who and what
type of a man is Machado of Cuba.

PRESS MUST BE
FREE, ASSERTS
REP.JENCKES
Congressional Takes Issue
With Reported Stand
of Rep. Schultz

Any attempts to "muzzle" the
American newspapers will be
vigorously opposed by Representa-
tive Virginia E. Jenckes CD of
Indiana, she said today.
The Indiana CongreSswoman
made this statement in a letter to
Representative William T. Schultz
CD of Indiana, who is reported
to have said:
"The next session of Congress
will give birth to some kind Of
legislation to muzzle the press,
which needs muzzling."
Mrs. Jenckes said:
"If we are to maint1in the
Constitution Of the United
States and free institutions
which have developed under
the protection of our COnsti-
tuition, then we must allow the
freest expression of thought re-
CARELESS Of whether we are in
accord with it or opposed to it.
IF we are to avoid bureau
cratic form of government
which leads to dictatorship
then we must allow the people
to know the truth for the
truth will set us free. The
American newspapers are an
important agency in bringing
the information and truth to
the people,"

DEALER RELIEF.
IN GASOLINE
PLANNED
Border Section Owners Seen
in Danger Because OF
Tax Difference

Relief of gasoline dealers in the
border sections" of Virginia, is
contemplated at the coming ses.
sion of the Virginia legislature,
which will open in Richmond in
January, it was learned today.
At the present time dealers in
nearby Northern Virginia and in
other sections of the State are in
a serious position due to the diff
terence between the tax OIL gaso
line in Virginia and the District of
Columbia. A portion of the tax
is now borne by the major oil COM
panies but they may have to stop
this practice under provisions of
the oil code. If the dealers are
forced to bear the entire tax, they
claim. they will be driven out of
business.
The past session of the legisla-
ture enacted a measure which
would have related part of the
tax charged retailers in the Dor
der districts. This has been de
clared unconstitutional and is now
awaiting appeal.
The bill which will be intro
duced at the next session, it was
said, will be "air-tight."

Maryland Senator Opposes
$1.10 Gal. Plan; Excise on
Beer Also Finds Support

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. Ex-senator
David G. Mcintosh CD Balti.
more county, today announced
himself in favor of placing an
excise tax on beer and opposed
to the administration recommen-
dalton of placing a $1.10 a gal
Ion levy on liquor.
Numerous other members Of
the senate meanwhile privately
expressed similar views as the
study of the administration liqudsB
plan continued here.
Instead of $1.10 a gallon
excise tax on liquor, as proposed
by the governor, the Baltimore
countian suggested that the State
levy be placed at 20 cents q
gallon. He estimates that such
a tax would bring revenue of ST.
100000 annually, and proposed
it be by the comptrollers office
at the distillery. This, he pointed
out, would eliminate the neces-
sity of having to hire a large
force to check collections.
If such a tax were placed on
liquor. he said, a tax of 81 q
barrel or 4 cents a gallon could
be placed on beer, and the States
revenue would amount to $780,.
600 annually and it would not be
likely that the tax would be
passed on to the consumer.

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 28.-Refer,
ondum on repeal of the State
constitutional provision prohibit
ing the General Assembly from
making lottery grants is proposed
In a bill offered in the House of
Delegates last night.
The measure, sponsored by
Delegate Philip j. Wallace CD
Of the Baltimore sixth district,
was placed in the hands of the
Ways and Means Committee for
consideration.
Sees $1O,OOO,OOO Revenue
Wallace contends that a State
lottery would provide revenues Of
910,000,000 annually, and that if
the referendum is sanctioned,
Governor Ritchie's proposal for
O State-operated sweepstakes
would be possible.
In introducing the bill, Wallace
said:
Lottery by Government and
for Government is being used
In various countries in the
world today. 1t is not new in
this country.
! CITES UNUSUAL NEED
y Elm the great city of Balti-
more, lottery was used toward
the building of churches, for
the building of the Washington
Monument and-yes, even for
governmental purposes"
He said that although it is true
ehat lottery fell into diSrepute
and was prohibited by the legis-
lature by "our forefathers," in
these days of unusual need it
would be wise again to command
the use of the medium of lottery
to aid in State financing.
