Some Of Stepping Stone

SUHnc vi Stepping otOHcS.
OVER the PROSTATE bodies of his
last five opponents Louis has risen
to the top. Primo Carnera, King
Levinsky, Max Baer, Paolino Uzcudun
and Charley Retzlaff have provided
the medium for his rapid rise and taken
at their face value. Louis fistic Prov
ess would seem to be greatly over
rated. Carnera, Uzcudun and Retzlaff
never were regarded as stars, while
Baer and Levinsky folded mentally
before entering the ring and physi-
cally shortly thereafter.
Louis must be seen to be fully ap-
preciated, however. The fact that the
caliber of his opponents has not been
awe-inspiring is no discredit to the
sepia socker The methodical manner
in which he has disposed of them
erases all doubt as to the dynamite
that turks in each padded fist.
Schmeling has indicated that he
will concentrate on Louis midsection
and is far superior to Joe in that re-
spect. Louis, probably because he has
not needed it, is not effective at in
fighting and will shoot his blows to
Max's bobbing noggin.

pROMOTER JACOBS ascribed the
failure of Schmeling to respond
adequately to the "build-up" processes
as the main factor in checking ad-
vance sales. He also conceded the
effect of a Jewish boycott, due to
anti-Nazi sentiments, likewise con-
tributed to absence of another Million
dollar gate.
5 Not even a sudden rush for cut
price tickets, it seemed, would develop
O crowd of more than $4,000 and gross
receipts in excess of 100000. Specu-
iators who had loaded themselves up
with pasteboards in anticipation of
eleventh-hour demands, were holding
the bag"
All things considered, however, these
hgures represent a sensational tribute
to the drawing power of 22-year-old
Negro youth who was an unknown,
outside of mid-WeStern amateur ranks,
two years ago.
They mean that for his three big
fights in New York within a year,
each against a former world heavy
weight champion, Louis will have at
tracted more than $2,oOO,0OO in gate
receipts. The big pay-off is on the
knockout punch, and Louis has it, in
either fist. 1t was the history of the
Dempsey regime ands history is re-
peating itself, in the ring as well as
the box Office.

Weather is Uncertain.

THE weather, it appeared, might
take sufficiently sour turn to
force poStponement for night. A
days holdover might help the lag
ging ticket sale, but it hardly could
be of much service to the latest VIC
tim of the fistic laboratory, Schmel-
ing. Ma xhas manifesed no par
ticular signs of fear or stage-fright,
nor can you find much sympathy in
behalf of a man who will collect
around 100000 for a few clouts to
the chin, but the German probably
will be glad to get it all over with.
All signs point to quick ending.
The consensus of pre-fght views was
that the Bomber would win, by ac-
clamation and a knockout, within
four or five rounds. 1t Is this writer's
npinion he can name the round and
punch, either right or left. Barring
Accidents-the only basis ON which
anybody can "hedge"-the Negro in
every respect outclasses the German,
who once held the heavyweight crown,
but was not in his prime match for
the Dark Destroyer.
The day of the fight leaves no
doubt that Q) the drawing power of
Schmeling was overestimated in max
ing this match and Cd that the pro-
of the cash customers to scramble for
tickets scaled from $3.50 for general
admission to $40 for ringside planks.

Disfranchised
(Journal, Minneapolis, Minn.,
NoU, 23, 1856

The war which ended in the
independence Of the American
colonies was fought for a principle.
The colonists revolted, not against
taxation, but against the payment
of taxes to government in which
they had no voice. Taxation with
out representation" they said, lis
tyranny"
The makers Of the Constitution,
however, failed to provide votes
for the inhabitants of the future
Federal district. AS a result, there
are 433, 900 Americans, Of voting
age within the District Of Colum-
bia who have no voice in the selec-
ton Of the President or the Con-
gresS in whose control they are.
They are practically wards Of the
Nation.
Many of these citizens retain
voting privileges in some State,
and exercise the franchise by mail,
but the permanent population Of
Washington is entirely disfran-
chised, in local as well as national
affairs. Yet in taxes paid to the
Federal Government, the District
made a greater showing last year
than any one of Is States. It sent
more men to the colors for the
World War than any one Of II
States.
It is true that a large part Of
local government cost is paid out
of the Federal appropriations, but
that seems a mere detail in the
picture.
To give voting rights to inhabi-
tants Of the great Capital City,
an amendment to the Constitution
would be necessary. Such an
amendment has been offered IN
Congress, and will be offered again
this winter. Unless there are more
cogent arguments against it than
appear on the surface, the amend
ment should be submitted for the
action of the States.

A SimpIeAct of Justice
(JoUrnGLNeUs, Nyack, N. Y"
Dec. 3, 1856


More than 443,0OO citizens Of
voting age in the District of Co,
lumbia are denied the right OF
franchise, according to the Wash
ington Times, and that great
newspaper is attempting to in
duce the Congress to right that
manifest wrong.
These citizens are under all the
obligations of citizenship, but are
deprived of its highest privilege
The District of Columbia was es-
tablished under the authority and
direction, by acts Of Congress ap.
proved July 16, 1870, and March
8, 1891. In the creation OF a tenn
porary form of government for
the District in 1874 and the perm
anent form in 1878 no provision
was made for the franchise and
for the first time in three-quarterS
of a century no part Of the Dis
trict exercised the right Of SUI
frage.
To change the situation 1t Is
proposed that constitutional
Amendment be submitted to the
States for ratification.
Such ratification would be a
simple act of justice. The present
situation is obviously unfair and
should not be permitted to con-
tinue.

It's Not Fair
(HeraId, Augusta, Ga
Nov. 21, 1856


Americans, above all things else,
possess the spirit of fair play to a
high degree.
No unbiased American will con-
tend that it is fair for 433,000
citizens of voting age to be de-
prived of the right of suffrage. We
refer to the situation in the Dis
trict of Columbia. Technically,
the people there are privileged to
vote, since the law permits them
to vote back in their home States.
But actually this privilege is de-
MED because it is not possible for
the vast majority of them to re-
turn to their original abode on
election day.
Congress will be asked again in
January to pass a constitutional
amendment to right this wrong.
If our representatives will reflect
a moment upon the justice of this
appeal and upon the inherent
spirit of fair play dominant in the
American breast, the amendment
will have easy sailing.

They Want to Vote
(EUening Journal, Washington,
Ynann AHnn. NE fn0cl

IoW1, NoU. Is, 1856
The publisher of the Washing
ton, D. c., Times is sending out
an appeal to all interested citi-
zens to lend their influence to a
movement which has as its aim
the granting of the right to vote
to residents of the District Of
Columbia.
Residents of the District are
deprived of the vote in national
affairs and the District is gov
erned by a commission of three
appointed by the President, as
we understand the case.
Just why permanent residents
of the District of Columbia are
not allowed to vote this writer
does not understand. Maybe
there is a good reason. If so,
we'd like to know what it is.
Elected national officers and
sppointeeS and clerks whose
duties keep them in Washington,
D. c., a great deal of the time
are permitted to vote in their
home districts, but the individual
who settles down in Washington,
D. c., or in the District Of Co
lunbia as an established citizen
finds himself in a no-man's land
so far as voting goes.
One may live anywhere else in
the united States, excepting in a
prison of some type, and vote,
but in the District Of Columbia
no vote is allowed to the resident.
Congress rules the District
through the commission above re-
ferred to, and some hint that
Congress and the commission per-
nit pretty free and easy Sys-
tenn of government for the Dis
trict.
But why shouldn't the COM
mon, ordinary good citizen of the
District of Columbia vote? You
tell. It occurs to some of us that
an average free and independent
citizen of the District Of Colum-
bia would be a more impartial
voter than many of the hundreds
of thousands OF our elective o4Al-
GERS and temporary job holders.
In selecting a jury for a fair
trial in court, the prospective
juror is refused place on the
jury if he has a personal interest
in the outcome of the case. If a
prospective juror Should admit
that he was in the employ Of the
plaintiff or of the defendant in
law suit he wouldn't be allowed
to sit on the jury. He would be
branded as incompetent for jury
service in that case because Of
his direct personal interest in it
and ne would be encouraged to
take walk.
A democracy needs to watch
out that it doesn't find itself with
a packed jury some day, for when
it does it will in all probability
be ION the way out" So far as
this publication is concerned
speaking from the light that we
have-we believe that the "un-
politically fettered" citizens Of
the District of Columbia should
have a say as to what is to go on
politically in this United States
of America. In other words, be-
ing outside thu moron fringe and
inside the average intelligence
belt. they ought to be accorded
the same voting latitude that the
rest of us have.

FId., Nov. rs, 1886
One hundred and sixty years
ago a number of EngliShmen
who had crossed the Atlantic
from their Fatherland declared
war on their mother country be-
cause Parliament insisted on
taxing the colonists without CIV
ing them proper representation.
Today the government which
has grown from that band OF
sturdy early Americans is impos-
ing upon a number of its citi-
zens the same condition for
which their forebears went to
war.
Residents of the District Of
Columbia are denied the right
of the ballot. They have no voice
in government. They are as much
outlawed, as far as expressing
their choice Of national officials,
as is the lowliest alien.
The Districts population has
grown to $4,000. 1t is estimated
there are 430, 900 persons of vot-
ing age, which exceeds the voting
population of ten States.
When it comes to Shouldering
their share of taxes, residents Of
the Capital are no pikers. The
past fiscal year they paid $17,-
322,929 in national taxes. This
represents higher tax than paid
by twenty-five individual States
and more than nine States COM
bined, yet the taxpayers had no
voice in the levying Of those
taxes.
If Congress wishes to be con-
sistent with American ideals,
principles and traditions, it will
see that this body of highly in
telligent, loyal. heavy taxpayng
Americans are given the same
right of franchise that the igno-
rant foreigner is privileged to en-
joy by swearing allegiance to our
flag.

Righting a Wrong
(Tribune-Herald, Casper, Wyt
cninu. Nov. q, 1856

TGE1Ly1 4NOOs 661~ @SSO/
Agitation is afoot to remedy
what is claimed to be unfair dis
elimination in denying $4,000
citizens of the United States the
right to vote-residents Of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Supporters of the passage OF a
constitutional amendment to give
the voting population Of the dis
trict equal representation, declare
that the makers of the constitu-
ton unintentionally failed to give
Congress the power (analagous
to that which is possessed with
regard to the admission OF terri
tories to StatehoodO Of granting
representation in Congress, and in
the electoral college, to the popula-
ton of the District when it be-
comes fit, and the amendment is
aimed to right that wrong.
The only way resident OF the
Nation Capital has been able to
vote is by journeying to his legal
residence, If such is maintained.
otherwise, he may be in the class
of an un-Americanized American.
It appeals to us that even
though the greater part OF the
population of Washington, D. c.,
is made up of Federal employees,
they should be entitled to vote in
their present residence. 1t seems
strange that a small spot in the
United States should be restrained
from the franchise privileges.

They Cannot Vote
(ObSerUer, La GrGnde, O

NOUs Cos 4OOU/
Many people do not know it, but
the only citizens Of the United
States who cannot vote or have
the right of representation in gov
ernment, are those who live in the
District of Columbia. The voting
age population is estimated at
433, 900, exceeding the voting'age
population of 10 of the 4S States,
but there are no ballots for these
American citizens to mark-even
though they live at the center OF
the National Government.
We understand there will be q
strong movement for the next
Congress to launch a constitu-
tional amendment to give these
District of Columbia people the
right to vote. We believe it is
something that should have been
done many years ago, and feel
that if such constitutional
amendment ever appears on the
Oregon ballot, 1t should carry
with ease.
