BLOCK CRIME ALIBIS

NNE of the things which the last year
~ brought us was a new attitude toward
our crime problem. We are no longer dis
couraged about it, or ready to admit that the
problem is insolubIe. Some of our most notori-
Gus lawbreakers are under the ground and
some of them are behind the bars, and we are
beginning to see that putting them there isn't
an impossible job. after all.
Nevertheless. our machinery for dealing
with criminals needs overhauling; and one of
the places that needs it the most is the court
room where the crook stands trial.
Prof Mason Laid of the University of
Iowa discussed needed changes in the law of
evidence before the 32d annual meeting of
the Association of American Law Schools in
Chicago recently.
There are ways, says Prof Laid, by which
we can make the conviction of guilty persons
easier without increasing the hazards which
an innocent man must face when he goes on
trial. One of them is by tightening up the
laws governing an albi defense.
Let provide suggests Prof Ladd that
where an accused person plans to plead an
alibi he be required to give notice to the states
attorney in advance of the trial
AS things stand now man being tried in
San Francisco can assert that he was in New
York when the crime was committed, and it
is practically impossible for the prosecution to
meet his claim when it is sprung suddenly in
the middle of the trial
If advance notice were required, the state
could make the necessary investigation ahead
of time and marshal evidence to refute the
claim, if the claim we're false. Some states
already have such law; Prof. Laid suggests
that the law should be universal
Then, he continues, the state should be al
lowed to comment when prisoner takes adj
vantage of his constitutional rights and re-
fuses to testify. In AZ of our states the crimi-
nal may refuse to testify and the prosecutor
may not remark upon it in any way.
Surely no innocent mans rights would be
jeopardized if the state were permitted to
draw differences from such silence.
Lastly. Prof. Ladd urges that criminal law
be revised to permit the impeachment of ones
own witnesses AS things stand now, crook
may bride or intimidate the states star witness
so that that witness, on the stand, will give
testimony contrary to his former statements
but the state can not expose that witness be-
fore the jury. and the criminal wins by tech
nicality.
Here, again, simple revision in procedure
would make it harder for a guilty man to win
acquittal.
None of these changes would increase the
hazards for an innocent man. AS Prof. Ladd
suggests they would simply provide a fair trial
for the state as we'll as for the defense.

but we can assure her on Arst hand informa-
ton an experience that will be educational and
inspiring. Though 1t may be punctuated with
few headaches and even an occasional pain
in the neck, it will never be marred by tr1te
or bromide statement, moment of ennui or
lack OF entertainment. And as for the de-
lights Of surprise and the unexpected-just
wait
Meantime we can see two immediate adj
vantages accruing from Mr.. Broun's newest
enthusiasm. First Fanaticism has been run
ming in such crazy circles and shrieking such
incoherent gibberish since 1929-and earlier
that a little coordination, yes, and even
reorganization. of the yowling would be con-
tribution to the Joy Of living.
Secondly. Mr.. Broun Is never more inter-
esting or more entertaining than during those
occasional intervals for the duration of which,
even though it be with his tongue in his cheek,
he promises to forswear cap and bells and
bladder
AS his plan to carve himself a niche in
history alongside Cotton Mather, John Roach
Strston and Carrie Nation should produce
some entertaining copy. we would venture but
one suggestion, namely that Haywood locate
his niche fairly close to Carrie, just as a ges-
ture of camaraderie.
After all. Carrie used Ratchet.

BROUN - FANATICISM

IT WILL never be more serious. There abide
l. these three-faith. hope and fanaticism.
and the greatest of these is fanaticism.'
So writes Haywood Broun in his initial
column of the new year, thereby satisfying the
curiosity of friends. admirers and readers as
to the object of his latest. but manifestly
ardent. politico- journalistic passion. While
this affair has not been forecast by rival
columnists, it comes as no surprise to those
familiar with Heywoods wide range of taste
In objects of editorial affection.
Conservatism, Liberalism. Socialism and
Communism Haywood has firted with them
all. appraised them all critically and rejected
them all as unfit to share his Journalistic bed
and board and unworthy of the championship
Of his pen. But Cupid is resourceful, and the
Isms family has been blessed with more
daughters than there are Sutherland sisters.
Behold another. Fsnatic.sm. as the latest to
intrigue the interest of our Don Juan of for
lorn causes
We can foresee for the new love no great
tranquility. peace of0ind. contentment pr
constancy during II % of the courtship.

ONLY ONE KINGFISH

TIE amt helped me yet" says Kingfsh
l. Il Huey Long of President Roosevelt
adding that some day maybe he will help
me. then I'll help him some more"
wistful, diSarming fellow is the King
fish. AS if he needed helpl Louisiana's tax
able resources are at his command with
hardly any accounting. Louisiana citizens

HOPE FOR WHITE WINGS"

TT is interesting to notice that Mayor La
Guardia of New York has promoted for
mer white wing" in the street cleaning de-
partment to a s45OO-a-year position in charge
of all uniformed forces of the department.
The new superintendent started welding
his broom % years ago at wage of Is cents
an hour. Now he gets recognition, promotion.
and a comfortable salary.
The interesting thing about it is the fact
that We generally look on the street cleaners
Job as the one job which, above all others, has
no future" Any other worker can win pro-
motion by industry and eficiency-but not
the white wing"
1t is somehow rather pleasant to learn
that this notion is wrong.

PROBATION AND PAROLE

IN the annual report of Sanford Bates,
l. Federal Prison Director, are answers to the
hysterical attacks upon Americas probation
and parole systems and its unwalled prisons
The public, says Director Bates, must dis
tinguish between the treatment of the hard
ened desperate and the man who is GRIM
inal by force of circumstances, the accidental
offender, the feeble-minded, the under-priv-
ileged and the sorely tempted" To keep re-
claimable men behind high walls longer than
necessary is not only wasteful of humanity
but of money.
Given efficient. non-political supervision,
probation will prove itself. even during these
difficult times.
The savings effected by the probation sys-
tenn in avoidance of jail board and in the COL
lections of fines and costs from probationers
will as usual more than offset the expend-
itures upon the system" says the report. 1T
is a paying investment not only in dollars and
cents but in community protection and re-
demption of individuals"
Parole also pays. Out of $4,000 arrests in
the larger cities during the first quarter OF
1884 only 873 were found to be on parole at
the time of arrest.
Such data" says the report, scarcely
support the thoughtless and superficial state
nent that parole as a method of penal treat
ment has failed For every case of parole
violation. a dozen cases can be cited where
properly administered parole treatment has
been instrumental in adjusting former pris-
oner to the struggle he faces"
If the states will man their probation and
parole systems with capable merit mel. they
will be found as effective in tire battle against
crime as the Furnishing arm of the law
enforcing army

CAN u. S. BE TAXED?

A interesting little problem seems to have
n arisen in Colorado, where the Federal
Government has taken over ownership and
operation of the Moffat railroad to protect
some s1O5OOOOO in loans.
The Colorado state tax commission has an
nounced that it will tax Uncle Sam for this
property precisely as it taxed the private
owners in former days. If Uncle Sam declines
to pay lawsuits will be filed to test the statutes
which provide tax exemption for Government
property.
The growth of Government ownership and
operation of various agencies is bound to make
this problem acute before long. If Uncle Sam
is going to run electric plants. railroads and
the like, can the states tax him?
If not, how are they going to replace the
income formerly derived from taxation of
those agencies when they were privately owned
and operated?
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-01-07

kers and all connected with this
line in industry would soon lose
their jobs.
The manufacturers of ice cream,
those who sell it, the manufacturers
of freezers and containers, those
who make ice cream cones and all
those connected with this industry
either directly or indirectly would
lose their jobs.
The greater part of the auto
mobile builders would lose their
Jobs. Remember, a pleasure car is
not a necessity. There would be
no need for the great number Of
trucks that are in use now.
The toy makers, statesmen and dis
tributers, together with those who
make boxes for shipment, will all be
out of work.
The soft drink business will go and
with it will go thousands of jobs.
The same thing will happen to the
hard drink business.
If you will study this question
little more you can think of many
more who will lose their jobs, such
as motion picture artists and those
operating both the legitimate and
motion picture theaters, also all
those engaged in the tobacco busi-
ness, from the time tobacco is
planted until it is a finished prod
uct and marketed
But why go further? It is very
evident that if there was no money
spent except for bare necessities of
life, that the country would get into
such a condition that the present
depression would be a paradise in
comparison to it.
Urge the 5000 month pension,
Urge the soldiers bonus; encourage
any move that will put the money
into the hands of the people.
The CWA, the PWA and other
things have been tried for many
months. These workers can not
buy anything except the necessi-
ties of life. The bread lines are
getting longer.
The money sharks always have
influenced the law makers. These
sharks are totally blind to The want
and misery of the people. The law
makers are equally as blind as to
what is coming on the Nation, and
so the blind are leading the blind"
while the people perish.

A COSTLY METHOD

THE very purpose of the resurrected House
4 gag rule will make it self-defeating in
the long run. 1t is to be used to prevent
vote on measures which the Administration
considers unwise. For while, 1t doubtless
will serve its purpose. But minorities and
their causes tend to thrive under suppression.
In the primary and general elections last
wear. the voters chose many candidates who
espoused policies more radical than those OF
the Administration. BY using the gag rule
the House lea 1ers intend to reduce these
left-wingers to tie status of untouchabes, and
pieeon-hole their ideas as unthinkable
But the voters will go to the polls again
next year and again two years thereafter.
They will remember and act upon the issues
not then settled.
The fantastic Townsend old-age pension
plan is one of the unwise measures that Will
be bottled up this winter by the gag rule.
But a proposal with such wide popular ap-
peal can not be disposed of in this way. 1t
should be met in the open and voted down on
its lack of merit.
With a 3-to-1 partisan advantage In the
House. the Administration should be able to
defeat unwise measures by fair methods that
will persuade rather than anger the electorate.
The confidence of the electorate is the most
valuable and effective asset of the President
This popular confidence should not De
ieorardized by House dictatorship
