the new marvel? Radio broadcasting burst
upon us with no more preparation.
Iftelevision were as simple as sound broad
casting, there is little doubt that the air at this
moment would be filled with television drama
and every radio store would be offering sets
for sale. Schoolboys built the early crystal
sets Of radio. and so many people began
broadcasting entertainment that the govern
ment had to step in with licensing system to
prevent radio bedlam
Nobody can check progress when it is
ready to move. But nobody can force progress
ahead either. Things brought out before their
time have habit of rolling back upon us,
often at cost of years in delayed develop
ment. We are at spot in television right now
when ill-considered haste might mean the
very opposite of speed.
Television bears no relation to the present
system of sound broadcasting Teevision

A FTER years of rumors, false starts and
~ renewed hopes. television has
emerged from the laboratory and
a field experiments have begun in
important centers of the world
Developments have been rapid in recent
months. In Germany television laboratory
mounted on fast motor truck has been
placed in experimental operation. The Ger
mans expect to take sound motion pictures of
an event as it happens, to develop the notion
picture film and later to televise it to sur
rounding area. In England the first public
television station is being built in London,
and in about year practical field work will be
under way there.
On this side of the Atlantic the news has
been no less encouraging. The Radio Cor
poration of America has announced that
$l.OO00OO is to be spent in erecting modern

any question about the clarity and sharpness
of transmitted images
Our research and technical progress may be
judged by the fact that upon laboratory
basis we have produced 343-line picture, as
against the crude 3O-line picture of several
years ago The picture frequency of the earlier
system was about IL per second of the present
system the equivalent of go per second is the
satisfactory but not necessary limit This
compares with standard projection rate of
"a per second for motion pictures
Thus the first jor obstacle and, we hope,
the biggest on the road to popular use of
televison has been cleared.
However, the mere fact that clear and
pleasing pictures can be transmitted between
two groups of engineers working under the
most careful scientific control is far from
positive evidence that continuous stream of
pictures may be broadcast over 100000
square miles of territory to 100000
people, even if all facilities for doing so were
ready. which of course they are not.
Methods used by the engineers may not be
applicable at all to popular television, much
as we hope they are. 1t is conceivable that
after months of field tests some unexpected
difficulties may be encountered that will re-
quire further research in the laboratory. This
is not pessimism. but fact to be faced. And

A second fact that can't be ignored is that
television in its present state has some very
definite limitations. The service range of the
best transmitter is rarely more than twenty
five miles, and it frequently is only fifteen
miles. Once field work is under way engineers
believe they can materially increase this
range; but this. too, is hope to be realized.
Transmitted pictures are still relatively small
From the practical standpoint they might be
compared to what one sees of a parade from
the window of an Office building or of world
series baseball game from nearby roof, or of
championship prize fight from the outermost
seats OF great arena. In this fast moving age
filled with competitive amusements will
people be content with televisions dramas in
miniature. once the novelty of the new toy
wears off? Frankly, nobody knows.
But suppose that people are satisfied with
the size of the pictures = just how long and
how frequently will they sit before television
receiver and rivet attention on the visual
action? With sound broadcasting full atten-
tion is not necessary. One may read move
about the house at work. play bridge. talk to
a circle of friends while the radio plays on.
Television will mean change in the habits
of the home if it is to be worth its cost. What
sort of programs will the public want? Again.
we don't know as yet
Popular sound broadcasting is almost
wholly by comparatively long waves. as
measured by the latest standards of the radio
art. Television uses ultra short waves. and we
don't know very much about the peculiarities

at least in part. In Germany, England and
Canada they are seeking the same answers.
And above all others is the question of how
soon progress in the televison art will stabilize
to an extent to warrant popular introduction
of this marvel This is the most serious
question we face today
Radio receivers bought ten years ago are

CAR NUMBER 90"

According to an advertisement
Of a large life insurance com
pany, the driver Of every woman
or child before the year is over
if the accident experience Of 1885
duplicates that of 1884. And sta
t%istics TO rthe first six months Of
the year indicate that little if any
progress has been made in curb
ing the dangerous driver.
Every driver should decide for
himself whether he wants to be at
the wheel Of "car number 20"
The decision is really within his
power. He can drive carefully,
in accordance with the law and
good judgment-he can keep his
speed to reasonable levels, main
tain his car in first-class mechan-
zeal condition SO far as safety de-
vices are concerned, and work on
the basis that it is better to give
up his right-of-way than risk a
trip in an ambulance. Or he can
take chances-he can regard
crowded streets and highways as
Fairgrounds, where his reckless
and adventurous instincts may be
INDUCED to the full without re-
gard for others or himself.
The laws Of chance are i'm
mutable-and every motorist
who is deliberately careless, can
be certain that eventually he will
come a cropper. He may get
away with reckless acts a thou
sand times-the thousand and
first time he will pay the price.

The American tax system is
outmoded, wasteful, inefficient
and essentially vicious. That is
a digest of statements recently
made by a number Of economists
Of standing.
1t is especially vicious when it
comes to the so-called share
the-wealth'' tax measures which
propose that higher taxes be
levied against individuals and
corporations. "Big-business" is
to be penalized for being big.
And, according to the advocates
of these measures, the average
citizen will benefit - wealth will
pay the bill, and he will receive
the services of government for lit
tie or nothing. What misrepre-
sentation Of fact!
The average citizen who is
taxed to death now, will be taxed
still more as new taxes are ere
ated. Every tax on industry must
be paid by him, through higher
prices for commodities and SER
Every new tax adds to his
cost of living.
The c~onfiscatory "share-the-
wealth" tax bill now pending in
Congress would, according to its
sponsors cause increased federal
income Of $270,0OO,OO a year.
Ii that is true, it would "redis-
tribute wealth" to the tune Of
about 1925 fore each man, woman
and child in this country. And
it would fall So, 600, 900, 900 short
of meeting the deficit incurred in
the last fiscal year alonel
1t is possible that such schemes
are put forward in an attempt to
blind our citizens to the fact that
we need tax reduction and fewer
taxes-and not tax increases and
new taxes. Overtax weaIth-and
you kill initiative, employment
and industrial development Over
tax industry-and the consumer
finds himself faced with rising
prices and declining income. AS
a recovery measure, that looks
like economic insanity.

JUSTICE

The Christian moral code and this primitive
but still prevalent double moral code are obviously
IN flat contradiction one to the other. The double
code runs: Only those of my own narrow little
circle of family, kin, friendship, nation and race
are my brothers outside are not. The Christian code
runs: There is neither Greek nor barbarism, neither
Jew nor Gentle, neither white nor Negro; we are
all brothers under the skin brothers to one another
and to one Elder Brother who lived and died for all
of us. The double code DEGREES: Justice to those
Of my own little group; to others, justice only in
50 far as expeiency or sheer power Of codmpulsion
demands. The Christian code DEGREES Justice to
all, regardless of expediency or compulsion; our
just Father in heaven is no respector of persons or
of race; the members Of all races are equally His
children with equally invioIable rights,
The two codes are as unlike as night is from
day, as darkness from light. No one who pledges
loyalty to the just God Of all humanity can for a
moment take as his own a code that denies even
handed justice to all but a segment of humanity.
To sum up what we have said SO far: two major
factors are responsible for much or most Of our
wolfishness The first of these, the as
sumption Of physical or mental superiority, is I'M
scientific. The second Of these, the ancient selfish
double code is obviously at odds with a religion
built on faith in a God of love and justice.

superior to the Negro race? We have a number of
comparative intelligence tests of whites and Ne
groes. The majroity, but rot all of these tests re-
veal higher gross average scores for the whites.
But are these higher scores due to higher racial
ability or to ampler opportunities for education and
advancement The rapidly accommodating evidence
the conclusion that the differences In the scores are
in pointing more and more Enthusiastically towards
due, certainly very largely and no importantly quite
entirely, not to differences in racial ability between
whites and Negroes but to differences in racial op-
portunities. And we have further to recall that in
some Of the tests it is the Negro and not the white
who has come out with the higher score.
NO PROOF
The sum of the matter is that in the present
state of our evidence neither white nor Negro can
be scientifically proven to be superior or inferior
one to the other The compelling probabilities are
that the differences, if there be any differences,
are not great.
So much for the first factor underlying our
wEite racial woEfishness as regards our Negro fell
low citizens. Let US pass on the second factor, the
double code.
By the double code we do not mean the double
sex code, but rather the broader code under which
we respect the rights Of those Of our own group
and have little or no respect for the rights of those
who belong to groups other than our own.

HEN POLITICS RUNS THE
GENERATORS

All tuAtOTldl Ill 4 paper from
an Indiana town illustrates what
happens to the efficiency and
certainty Of electric service when
politics runs the generators.
The plant, in that town, which
is municipally-owned, operated
during a number Of municipal adj
ministrations without Interrupt
tion-inasmuch as these admins
trations did not, according to the
editorial, make a political play
thing Of it.
Then the towns government
changed, and a new group came
into power. Recently service was
broken off twice on a single Sun
day, with all the Inconvenience
and danger to persons and prop
erty that interruption entails.
Theaters were compelled to dis
miss their patrons and refund
the money; filling stations with
electric pumps could no longer
sell gasoline; routine in the hos
.pital was disturbed and upset.
Electric pumps at the water
plant were out of commission.
The newspaper after investiga-
ton, discovered the cause Of the
Interruptions. Trouble with the
main generator had put it out of
service. The electric plant, how
ever, also possessed two smaller.
emergency generators. One of
these was Immediately started.
when the shearing Of a pin like
wise caused it to stop. The next
generator was then started, and
was found to be 50 far out Of bal
ance it could not be brought I'D
to speed. This left the plant en-
tirely without facilities.
According 70 the newspaper,
the poor condition of the equip
ment, and the inability of plant
engineers to get it started, was
due to the fact that political ap-
pointments had replaced capable
men with inexperienced workers
knowing little or nothing about
the involved machinery they were
supposed to handle. As a matter
OF fact, service only came on
again when an automobile me-
chanic, by hooking up a large
number of automobile batteries.
was able to produce enough cur
rent to start the generator. As the
editorial stated, the town lis ex-
tremely fortunate to have an au-
tomObile mechanic handy when
something goes wrong at the po-
hticalIy-operated plant"
When politics steps in, good
service steps out. As a rule, it is
simply a matter of tim e before
municipal power plants fall under
the control Of politicians who re-
gard them as profitable fields for
political patronage.
