a THIRTEENTH century
Persian bad man started
something new in vices and
the police of today are
going to school to learn
what they can do about it.
The vice is smoking marihuana.
The Persian bad man had his men
smoke the weed because when
they we're under its influence they
would do what he told them to
do. They would kill and rob.
Today marihuana acts the same
way on people who smoke it, and
a great many more people smoke
it than did for that Persian bad
man.
This was explained at the Indi-
ana police school by Prof. C. j.
Zufall. Purdue University School
of Pharmacy. who spoke on
"Marihuana-A Growing Men
ace"
Prof. zufall had on display at
the school, which is being held at
the Morris-st plant of the Indian
apoliS Power and Light Co., sew
eral samples of cannabis, the
flower from which marihuana is
extracted The use of the weed
in cigarets is increasing rapidly,
according to Prof. Zdfall, and
there are many conveniences in
its use as compared with other
drugs.
1t is compact and from $50 to
$50 worth of the narcotic can be
carried in the pocket without any
suspicious appearance. Its distri-
button has been made easier be-
cause the weed is sold legitimate
ly as medicine, and the seeds are
sold as bird seed, while the f1bers
of the plant can be utilized in the
manufacture of hemp rope.

known to man has been resorted
to to scare them away-to no
avail.
First the fire department, with
its powerful high-presSure hoses,
was called IN. But the starlingS
simply returned to their rooSts
after the deluge was over. Then
the District Commissioners tried
small-caliber rifles. But the hu-
name societies objected.
Finally the Commissioners re-
sorted to balloons. These are tied
on long strings and suddenly in
trude upon the nocturnal rest of
the starlings. which usually leave
the lodges of the government
buildings for the trees. Here
FERA workers await them with
tin cans full of stones which they
clatter noisily at the roosting
birds.
1t is a great game. And so far
the starlings not only have won,
but apparently have enjoyed it.
y
THE whole story of the reason
Il for Jimmy Roosevelt's hi
bernation on the family estate at
Hyde Park can be summed up in
one Word-politics.
Attempts to make mystery Of
the matter are as labored as they
are inaccurate. SO, too, are the
conjectures about poor health and
that his being in business was
embarrassing to the AdminiStra-
ton. Jimmy is in good health.
And his brother Elliot is not only
in business. but is engaged in pro-
noting a Pan-American air derby.
What it is all about is this:
A big blow-up is brewing in the
Democratic party in Massachu-
sets. The political leaders are
at one another's Threats and ali
signs point to a fierce free-for- all.
So in the interest Of jimmy
who has been dabbling in the ex-
ploSive situation-and the Ad-
nlinistration. it was decided it
would be wiser and safer to re-
move him from the scene for a
while.
In doing that there was no
thought Of making the young man
a member of the White House
secretariat. The object in evacu-
ating him from Boston was TO get
him out of hot water and not put
him in il.

among other drastic changes
the abolition of the United States
Board of Tax Appeals. Strong
sentiment for this has been cur
rent in congressional and Admin
iStration circles for some time.
1t is not generally known that
the Mellon trial" before
court" of three of the Is men,
bers of the Tax Board is being
followed with the closest attention
on Capitol Hill. The action of
Ernest Van Fossan, Republican
chairman of the court" in eX-
GLIDING evidence hostile to the
multi-millionaire defendant did
not go unnoticed by the congress
Sional scrutinizerS.
One immediate result of this
action was some private checking
of the Tax Boards record.
1t was found that the govern
ment loses a very considerable
portion of the cases handled by
the Board. In 1882 the govern
ment won only 43 per cent.
Two other pertinent facts I'M
covered we're: Cd that the United
States is the only country in the
world where an individual charged
with tax evasion can litigate be-
fore he settles: % that under the
existing enforcement machinery
the wealthy Taxpayer. who can
~ n
vantage over the little fellow"
A striking instance of this is
the case of Charles E. Mitchell.
former head of the National City
Bank CT New York. The govern
ment instituted action against him
before the Tax Board to collect a
large sum in claimed taxes, but
although the hearings were con-
cluded more than year ago the
board has yet to hand down its
decision.
THE New Deal may have driven
Il unemployment from the Cap
ital. crowded its hotels. and
brought it back prosperity with
a vengeance. but there is one
thing Roosevelt and all his Brain
Trusters have not solved.
This is the starting problem.

what smaller than crows. have Sc

He's Sensitive About Things

TTUEY speaks of hanging people who oppose him.
l. as when he said recently in Des Moines that
he would hang Mr.. Wallace, the Secretary of Agri-
culture He might have been joking then but the
idea characteristic and his of humor might
take realistic if he we're elected Presdent-dic
tator of the United States.
Of course he would need to have a certain type
of Congress in order to obtain such powers, but
that is the type of Legislature which he has in
Louisiana.
In Louisiana, Huey gave to three of his friends
a concession to drill oil in oil reserve belonging
to the state. AS President, by the process. he
might give his friends the right to drill in Teapot
Dome.
These are points which Huey has never touched
upon the of his orationS about the louise
in Daniel Boone's eyebrow and the income of 5000
a year which every loafer and ne'er-do-well is
promised, for future delivery the price of vote
for him.
