The House, by adopting an amend
ment to the McSwain bill offered by
Representative McSwain. chairman Of
the Military Affairs Committee, levy
ing excess profits taxes, yesterday
opened the door to real and effective
legislation to take the profits out Of
war. AS matters stood. the House
with no provision relating to taxes.
Under the Constitution all tax legis-
lation must originate in the House
The Senate Munitions Committee,
which has investigated the question
of war profits for months and has
prepared a bill with taxes and teeth
in 1t, would have been powerless to
offer its measure as an amendment to
the House bill had not the McSwain
amendment been adopted
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, q
member Of the Munitions Committee
of the Senate and strongly interested
in the passage of such legislation,
visited the House yesterday and per-
suaded Mr.. McSwain to offer a tax
amendment to his bill, so that the
House and Senate might, In the end,
cooperate in working out a war
profits bill. The McSwain bill Is ex-
pected to come to a vote in the House
tomorrow A great deal of opposition
has been expressed to the measure.
Rivers Bill ON Calendar.
The first omnibus rives and harbors
bill to come before Congress in five
years is slated to come up in the
House tomorrow or Tuesday. It au-
thorizes an expenditure Of $272, SOC, 900.
The Senate has as its unfinished
business the Copeland bill dealing
with drugs, cosmetics, etc. There IA

measure until after the N. r. A. bill,
which touches hours OF labor through

amendment should be adopted only after the people
of the several States had an opportunity to judge
of it's purpose and soundness. They anticipated
that strong Congress might dominate weak
President or that strong President might domi-
nate weak Congress, and in such situation one
or the other might usurp despotc power.
WE HAVE SEEN A STRONG PRESIDENT
DOMINATE A WEAK CONGRESS TO THE
DUSTRIES AND THE LIVELIHOOD OF MIL
LIONS OF WAGE FARMERS HAVE BEEN
PASSED PRACTICALLY WITHOUT CON-
SHERATON BY THE LAWMAKERS AND IN
SOME INSTANCES EVEN WITHOUT THEIR
KNOWLEDGE OF THE CONTENTS.
In forming the United States there was one
great thought underlying every move, and that was
the preservation of the rights of the citizens and
of the States
THE PEOPLE AT LARGE AND THE
TRAINERS OF THE CONSTITUTION WE'RE
AFRAID OF THE CONCENTRATION OF
POWER IN THE HANDS OF A FEW MEN.
They set up in the Federal government itself a
system of checks and balances of the three coordi-
nate branches and as between the Federal govern
ment and the States carefully reserved to the
States and to the people, in express language in
the Constitution ITSELF all rights not delegated.
Additionally, the people of that day knew of the
ineffciency of centralized government and its
tendency towards despotism. Thomas Jefferson
put it most aptly when he said, "IF WE MUST ASK
THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT WHEN WE
CAN SOW AND WHEN WE CAN REAP, WE'LL
SOON BE WITHOUT BREAD"
IN OUR DAY WE HAVE SEEN THE MA
TIONAL GOVERNMENT DIRECT FARMERS
ON THE PLANTING OF WHEAT, AND WE
ARE NOW FORCED TO BUY WHEAT FROM
ABROAD.
THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT INSISTED
ON THE KILLING OF PIGS, AND WE ARE I'M
PORTING PORK FROM EUROPE.
THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT DIRECTED
THE FLOWING UNDER OF COTTON, AND
OUR SOUTHERN STATES ARE FACING THE
LOSS OF THE WORLDS COTTON MARKETS.
THE LATEST EXPERIMENT ABOUT TO BE
INAUGURATED is THE MAKING 1T A GRIM
INAL OFFENSE TO RAISE POTATOES IN
ONES OWN BACK YARD.
The trainers of the Constitution anticipated that
such measures would build up an enormous bu-
reaucracy and form an office holding class in the
country. They were determined that this should
not occur.
We have heard less and less of the project to
amend the Constitution, and my own belief is we
will hear nothing more of tat least until AFTER
THE ELECTION OF 1886.
There is nothing frozen about the Constitution;
it is live, breathing instrument, and provides for
it's own alteration or modification but with un-
erring wisdom provides that such amendment or
modification cannot be made except on clear
statement of purpose and an opportunity for the
people to act.
THE PRESIDENT MAY HAVE CHANGED
HIS MIND SINCE 1880, BUT THERE CAN BE
NO must" AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTI-
TUITION OF THE UNITED STATES.
That is matter which the people, not politicians
will decide.

Vera stood in the doorway Of the
shop and watched the red
headed helper sying himself into
the truck, slam the door and drop
beside the driver. She watched the
huge. unwidely truck lumber down
the street and turn the corner.
Then she stamped her foot.
Darn him." she said. Darn
him! He's a big sap, that's what
he isl"
Don't take it so hard, honey

Marge shifted her gum to the other
side of her jaw as she spoke. She
was Vera's assistant and self-con-
stituted privy counselor.
Vera kicked the wastebasket
viciously. 1t rolled halfway across
the little shop, splitting discarded
curriers' and gum wrappers on the
tiled floor. Marge sat up in mild
concern and tried another tack.
MY gosh, Wee, didn't know you
wanted him that bad--that basket
cost two-bits, no less. But as I was
saying, all you gotta do Is put your
mind to it. Try, try again-that's
my motto"
PUT my, mind to it! Put my
mind to it!" Vera's voice was
shrill with indignation. what do
you think I've been doing, anyway?
Didn't I try every line I know?
T0fHntt ern =
every type there is from the
womanly woman to the good-time
girl? And what does he dor"
Marge knew her cue. 1T dunno
Does he do anything?" she asked
slyly.
Vera ignored the thrust and went
on. He doesn't even see me. He
doesn't know me from that dummy
in MitchelPs window"
Marge was instantly sympathetic.
There, honey, don't cry" she said.
Its just that he never really looks
at you. He's SO used to seeing you
working here every day that you
just don't register. Now, II you
could just startle him once-you
know, look suddenly different
give him a big JOLT"
But what can I do" walled
Vera. II bleached my hair. didn't

swell, yes, but your hair was
sort of light anyway" Marge was
hopeful. Now, maybe, may be-"
she looked at vera's flushed face
cautiously. "You could cut your
hair and get a pertinent"
Vera inspected her braid in a
mirror.
Turning this way and that, she
admired the soft waves and shiny
braided coil. Finally she turned
away.
"Marge, will you do it tomor-
row."
Marge widened her eyes. "Going
to take the fatal step-well, well!
Sure I'll do it and don't you worry,
honey, it'll turn out swell. We've
got that whole order Of new ma
terials and your hairs in swell
shape. Will we make that Red
open his eyes or will we make
him open his eyes? I'll say we
will"
yeah, we ought to-" said Vera,
family.
She was still feeling faint-heart-
ed when Marge began deft manip-
ulations on her shorn hair the
next morning. She observed with
relief that the way Marge wound
the green string, binding each
lock to it's little steel rod, was firm
and sure. Marge knew the bust
ness.

"Marge, my hairs green - it's
green" she said stupidity.
Marge gasped. "It must've been
that new string, guess"
Vera stared worldlessly ut ting
spectacle in the mirror. Then heF
head dropped on her arms and she
walled. Her beautiful hair waS
ruined. 1t would take months
months for the color to wear Off
At 2 o'clock Vera took fleetine
look in the mirror before she went
to admit the laden truck-helper.
Here's your order" said Red.
It was time for his comment on
the weather, but his voice changed
and he said suddenly:
"Why, you've cut your hair, Miss
Filler"
YES" said Vera.
Gee, you know" continued Red,
ct wish you hadn't. You'll think
I'm awfully fresh, but I sort of
liked that braid you had"
Vera looked at him sharply. He
was kidding her-but, no, his face
was serious.
ibid your" she asked softly. Il

never thought you knew my
name"
"say, do you think I could see
a good-looker like you every day
and not find out all about her?"
Reds voice was frankly compile
mentary. "say, you know I've
been trying to get up enough cour-
age to ask you for a date ever
since I first started delivering
here. How about It? Tonight? +
could get somebody to introduce
U.S." He was eager.
'fWhy yes, I'd love to-" said
Vera. Her head was spinning.
That night, after seeing the
feature at the Trocadero. Vera sat
with Red in Beagle's drugstore and
slipped chocolate soda. She was 90
happy that she wondered If heaven
was any better than her particular
portion Of the world.
Gee, you're q cute kid, Vera"
said Red suddenly, IT like every
thing about you"
even the color Of my hair"
laughed Vera teasingly, but her
heart was pounding.
"Sure I do" Red laughed back,
II like It darker-you look more
natural"
Vera held her breath. She looked
at Red closely.
That's a lovely green tie you
have on, Red" she said slowly.
yeah, isn't it?" Red grinned
happily. Vera grinned too, as she
turned back to her soda. His tie
was red.
