VISION AND YITAMINs

2 Just how the eye can distinguish
between different colors has always
been a mystery TO scientists. A pos
sible solution. however, may be In
dicated by the recent discovery that
there is a close relation between
Vitamin A and the rhodopsin or
visual purple" in the retina. Scien-
lists have long known that visual
purple, which plays an important
part in the functioning of the retina
rods, is sensitive to light, bleaching
TO colorless material when exposed
to Illumination While watching
this phenomena, DR.. George Valid. at
the Oceanographic institute. Woods
Hole, Mass. discovered that when
the purple becomes transparent a
slightly yellow material is split or
from it. This material, hitherto
unknown chemical, was found upon
further investigation to be related
closely TO earotene. which, in turn
is a close relative of Yitamin A.
Thus Doctor Wald actually wit
messed the transformation Of the
new yellow substance into Vita
min A.

1t has been demonstrated that raising the

when YOU TAKE
A LAXATIVE
"a. use a spoon

It isn't what brand of laxative you
take that's so important-it's the
form. A liquid laxative can be taken
in any required amount. If only
little is needed, you need never take
bit too much.
Doctors favor the easily measured
liquid laxatives. Instead Of any form
that does not encourage variation
from the fixed dose. A fixed dose may
be an overdose for you-or your
child.
Always remember this one thing
about constipation: The secret OF any
real relief is reduced dosage.

An arrangement like this might not sound
so bad. at first glance, in country like ours,
where the ability Of high-powered lawyers to
steer crooks through the wide-open meshes of
the law is notorious. A country that was
able to punish its most conspicuous murderer

return. and whics seems quite unable to pun

in an arrangement whereby you can send a
man of to prison on general principles, so to
speak.
Yet this new criminal code, more than
anything else that has happened in Ger
many, emphasizes the profound difference
between the social order that we are ia
miliar with and the one Yhich takes shape
under a dictatorship.
1t is a fundamental Of our government
that every one knows the precise limitations
on its powers. What it can do and what it
can not do are covered by an elaborote and
definite code. Within this CODE the citizen
can do as his pleases. 1t provides the frame
work for that individual liberty which has
always seemed to us to be mankinds most
precious possession.
1t is not new, of course, to state that midi
vidual liberty vanishes under dictatorship.
But nothing brings that fact home quite so
much as does this new criminal code. The
legal framework that we are used to is gone.
The powers Of the state become indefinite;
and since they are indefinite, the citizen has
no way of knowing exactly what is required
of him. No protection for his own liberties
can exist. He is at the mercy of the whims
OF ruling class whose tenure he is powerleSs
to change
The point is that dictatorship is not SIM
ply variation on the modern form of gov
eminent. 1t is a throw-back to the Middle
Ages when the kings will was all the law
there was. 1t represents a discarding of all of
those painfully acquired safeguards which
have been won through the centuries.
It is the most backward step any modern
people can take

TOO TOUGH FOR AUTOS!

EVERYBODY knows that the citizens of
- the United States used to drink some
pretty terrible things during prohibition Just
how terrible was not quite clear until the
Treasury Department sought to dispose of
some bootleg liquor it had seized in the old
days
During the past winter, it was disclosed,
some one thought of filling the radiators of
a number of government trucks with the
bootleg booze. with the idea that it ought
to make a fine anti-freeze solution The
stunt was tried-and the trucks were ruined.
The motors were corroded, holes were burned
in water hoses, and this Scotch" and "bour-
bon" finally turned to horrible, sticky mush
which stopped the engines altogether.
And this was the sort Of stuff that people
had the nerve to put into their stomachs, a
few years ago!

SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY

The flood control bill, which may become
law, should have its title amended. In
stead of being called an authorization "for
flood control" it should be labeled 'for vote
control"
This bill is the old-time por}. barrel which
used to carry through other Congresses as the
omnibus rivers and harbors bill.
After enacting the usual rivers and harbors
bill for this session, enterprising congress-
men found time to think up this grab bag with
something for everybody who wanted more.

flood control projects.

poses point out that the projects at one time
or another had been surveyed by the Army
engineers. They neglected to add that the

recent Communist International meeting in
Moscow they injured the Russia they protested
to like For it was their activity which
prompted the State Department note of yes
terday protesting that Russia allowed the Incl
dent and thus technically violated the Litvi-
noff pledge which was condition of Ameri-
can diplomatic recognition.
1t was violation despite the fact that the
meeting in question reversed the traditional
Communist doctrine of down with democratic
governments" and went on record in favor
OF active cooperation with democratic gov
ernments to prevent their overthrow by Fascist
relationships.
These American Communists did more
damage to Russia than they ever succeeded in
doing over here.

and the distance it still has to travel before
We will all be feeling natural once more
can be gained from national income figures
released recently by the Department OF Com
merce.
The average American, these figures say,
received an income of 1888 last year. This
was an increase of $50 over the figures for
the year before. and consequently it would
seem to reflect real improvement in general
conditions.
But before we start to cheer, we might re-
mind ourselves that this 1888 compares with
an average income of 1928 for the year 1929.
In other words. although the income of
the ordinary man has been rising from its
depression low, it still has a very long way to
go before it puts us back where We were
before all this trouble started.

TAXES THAT SETTLE NOTHING

ME issues of taxation, revenue. govern
ment expenditures and balanced budget
Will remain unsettled after the Presidents sig
nature changes the tax bill into a law.
Hastily conceived in politics, and hastily
enacted by political pressure, this measure in
It's final form has the same outstanding weak
nesses as the original draft Because it will
not produce enough revenue to shade the an
nual deficit it can not long postpone the in
ev1table reckoning. When Congress recon-
venes next January the problem of bringing
government expenditures and revenue into
balance will still be one of the toughest be-
fore it.
Though launched amid much lip service to
the principle of taxation according to ability
to pay, this measure will raise only paltry
few millions from taxes of that type And
therefore it merely perpetuates the present
taxes to produce most of the governments
revenue.
The new direct estate and income taxes
will affect only few thousand Americans. But
the millions of American voters who actually
support the government through invisible
taxes will learn some Gay that their exemp-
ton from these new taxes was but a cruel
deception.

Ghost Writing and Can1pQign Promises

of American Republics, is said to
have composed many of President
McKinley's speeches, but he did
not do his thinking for him. The
policies expressed we're Mckinley
policies, and there was no en-
barrassment as to broken prom
ises. But the present-day ghost
writer too often does the plot
ting and scheming as we'll, so if
there is change of writer's or if
several writer's are employed, one
would have to possess an infalli-
bic memory in order to avoid a
series Of compromising situations.
For all the public knows, Presi-
dent Roosevelt may now have an
entirely different set of ghost
writer's from those he employed
during the campaign, and if he
continues to change them, what
we have noticed up to now in the
way of contradictions and broken
promises may prove to be, as
Mayor La Guardia has expressed
it, only the Angostura in the
cocktail"
Certainly every one will agree
that the exposure now being made
of presidential responsibility is a
serious matter, and the explana-
ton I have given is, I think, the
most charitable view to take of
the situation.

By Arthur B. La Far
May 1 be permitted to call at
tention to a possible reason for
President Roosevelt's disregard of
his campaign promises? 1t is a
matter which I believe must have
puzzled many of your readers, for
the natural implication is one of
insincerity, if not of actual in
tellectual dishonesty, and these
are not qualities that one would
like to find in the President of
the United States.
Is it not likely that this dis
crepancy between the solemn word
and the deliberate deed may be
explained by the custom which
has grown up in recent years of
employing ghost writer's? In the
heat of the campaign the candi-
date may fail to sclutinize the
speeches that are handed him for
delivery and he finds himself, if
elected, embarrassed by promises
which, if he himself had written
the speeches, he never would have
made.
Ghost writing as it exists to-
day is a new art. Other Presi-
dents, it is true, we're assisted in
their compositions. Joseph P.
Smith, occupying the modest po-

politicians didn't come back at us,
which shows their color.
Well, they have been giving out
comforts this last week anyway-to
some. Now if we can just get some

about the Works Office, City Hall,

sided setup.
Now, I wonder why some men
only lost two days making this
change and others are not on yet;
why are some put back at their old
allowance or as small as SIS a week
when the wage is SIS a month? How
does this wage affect our S1-a-week

Oh, well, our own district isn't the
only sore spot, even though they

BEWAILS ENDING OF
NRA REGULATIONS
BY a Friend of the People

BY Friend OF the People
1t is indeed too bad that in
dustry and business have to be made
to be decent to their employees. For
the last several months the working
people have at least had a feeling
of security as to how many hours
they were going to have to work,
and also as to how much they were
going to receive. This was all be-
cause our great President, in his
efforts to do something for the
masses of people, told industry and
business that they couldn't work
employees over so many hours in
each week, thus giving them some
time for recreation and for really
living.
Now, since it has been said that
that was unconstitutional and the
President no longer has any power
back of him to enforce this law, in
dustry and business are going to go
off that regulation Of maximum
hours and minimum wages, and go
back to the horse and buggy days of
paying as little as they want to and
working people just as many hours
as they see fit.
The Constitution says that it is
for the welfare of the people, and
if the MIRA wasn't for the welfare
of the people, that is the masses and
not about per cent, then don't
know what has ever been done for
the masses.
1t is a shame that the masses
of people have to be controlled and
governed by about 2 per cent of
the people who have all the money
of the country in their possession.
Whenever anything is done con-
trary to their wishes then they just
shut up as tight as clam with
their money and let the people
suffer until they can have their
way.
re- long as we have people in this
country who are full of greed we
are going to have to have some
power to tell them what they can
do and what not.
Right here in this city we have
business houses who have no mercy
on their employees. They went from
under the regulation of the govern
ment to lower wages and work their
employees as though they were just
SO many slaves. There are not too
many hours in the week for them
to work them; they have no thought
as to the comfort and pleasure Of
their employees. The only thing
they think about is to work them
just as long as they want to work
them.
AS long as we have people like
unto these in our midst, we are 60
ing to have to have some kind of
regulation for the benefit of the
masses of the people.
If the government Of the United
States was drawn up for the well
fare of the people, not the 2 per
cent, but for the masses, then why
was it wrong when our great Presi-
dent attempted to do something for
the welfare of the people?
If we are not mistaken, this con-
dition is going to keep on until this
country is going to have serious
trouble OF its own. 1t won't have to
go to Europe or Asia or any other
country to try out its fighting abil-
ity, for it will have it right here at
home.
The masses of the people are going
to get tired of being trodden upon,
and treated just as so many slaves,
and as though they had no rights
except to work day and night for
the rich.
The majority OF people are willing
