she'd will break out on the Navajo
Reservation in Northwest New Mexico
unless legislation defining the bound
aries of the reservation is passed was
given the Senate Indian Affairs Com

plotting the Indians and tragic in
justice is being inflicted on the
Navajos"

lied because the area. aggregating about

with bootleg whisky and bring stock
out. You can draw your conclusions. u

j. S. SET TO MOVE
ON BLACK LEGION
But Evidence of Violation
of Federal Law Needed,
Cummings Writes.
Nv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
The Federal Government is ready,
1t was learned today, to begin broad
offensive against the Black Legion
the moment it receives definite evi-
dence that Federal laws have been
violated.
II black legionnaires are shown to
have kidnapped persons and transports
ed them across State lines, officials
explained, the &c men" will get into
action Immediately.
The "Lindbergh law" makes such
IN offense crime against the Fed
eral Government, and If the victim
suffers bodily injury, the guilty person
may be punished with the death pen
atty.
Attorney General Cummings, how
ever, indicated the Government Is
powerless to move unless it receives
evidence that the Federal statute actu-
ally has been violated. He took this
stand in reply yesterday to mes
sage from Duncan c. McRea, prose-
cutting attorney of Wayne County,
Mich, who had asked that j. Edgar
Hoover's Justice Department agents
be assigned to investigate the order
accused of terrorism.
Cummings wired:
"As, of course, you are aware, the
authority of the Department of Justice
in criminal matters is limited to vio-
lations of Federal statutes.
IF you have information that a
Federal offense has been committed
I would suggest that you submit the
same to the Department of Justice
at Washington
There was no information today
as to how soon Congress would come
to a vote on a resolution, offered by
Senator Benson, Farmer-Laborite, of
Minnesota for Joint House and Sen
ate investigation into such terroristic
organizations as the Black Legion"
and other groups alleged to be sub
versive."

and expressed no fear of an income
tax inquiry.
Efinger has claimed 100000 men,

John Davis of Cleveland, demanding
a legislative investigation of the
Black Legion, made the charge that
four thugs had intimidated a woman
employe Of the State who had made
shorthand notes of legislative in

Black Legion were revealed.

WHAT ABOUT

Almost every day, newspapers print
a particularly sordid kind of news. This
includes news stories of drunkenness.
the arrests made Tor intoXication, the
golngs on IN the dance hall areas and
back alleys, the charges and convictions
in police courts
These are not pleasant subjects. and
we'll might warrant the question of
whether it is necessary that such kind
OF material be published especially be-
cause, 10 many people, it is nauseating
and fepulsive, and based on subjects
which the average person desires 10 shun.
Such problem constantly confrontS
the newspaper which recognizes its high
purpose in a community and the honest
conclusion Is that q newspaper must
present such information or else fail in
It's mission as mirror Of daily events
The obligation TO readers. as sacred as
the very privilege of free speech, is to
print the news all the news that's fit
TO print The reading public expects
the news, good bad Or Indifferent.
That drunkenness is on the increase
is no fault of the newspaper. That
brawls and cheap fighting attend the
taxi dance halls is a fact To withhold
such information would be suppressing
the news and eXerting a censorship
which is condemnatory whether prac-
ticed here or in Russia or Germany or
Italy.
One part of society has the inalien-
able right to know what is going on in
another part of society. Those who live
in one section of a town should not close
their eyes to what takes place in another
section. If such practices are repugnant,
then the cause for the evil should be
corrected without condemnation of the
messenger bringing the information.
It is a logical corrollary that the
temptation arises to hide such stories in
small corners of inside pages, and this
thought, by the same token, must be
turned aside If there is something so
negative about existing conditions, it
should be aired prominently before the
eyes OF the people who have within their
hands, the power TO correct, improve, or
condemn.

Other Editors Say
AN EXPLANATION NEEDED
IOng Beach Press telegram

Why the California legislature is content to
ignore the voters mandate for State Constitu-
tianal convention never has been satisfactorily
explained. PrerOgatIVeS OF the legislators are
curbed by conditions they exist; yet Opportu-
nifty for remedy has been placed in their own
hands 1t has been repOsing there since Novem-
Der, 1884.
Assemblyman Dawson of San Francisco is
one of the few members of the lower branch OF
the state legislature who awake to the danger
OF the situation. He told the United Veterans CT
the Republic. in a recent address, that Califor-
MAS financial predicament is more serious now
that ever before. The treasury at Sacramento IS
now operating on $440000O0 worth of LOU.s,
with no relief, but rather with mounting deficits
in sight. He added
Mandatory and fixed charges, established
by law, comprise all but % per cent of the rev.
enues needed to raise funds for the states $431,-
100000 budget. The assembly actually controls
but % per cent Of the budget raising because of
these fixed, mandatory charges"
When Mr.. Dawson says that these fixed
charges are established by law ne means that
they are fixed by the state constitution, which
by common but improper practice extending over
many years has been converted into a blanket
statute CT many details that should have been
left to legislative consideration The explanation
is that special groups and interests have gone be-
fore the people from time to time with pleas
fer constitutional establishment Of their policies
and their revenues, until the total of such arbi-
trary taxes is crushing the state Relief can come
only through constitutional revision or replace
ment; and this was authorized by vote Of the
electorate nearly two years ago. The legislature,
however, must call the convention for this pur-
pose. but it has singularly failed to dc so. The
senate acted in accordance with the peoples
wishes, but the assembly refused to complete
the action.
Meanwhile, Assemblyman Dawson says the
people OF California are paying taxes of 81 per
cent on eggs. 70 per cent on bacon and IS per
cent on their breakfast rolls
What the people want is downward revision
Of expenses and taxes; but this relief is not
yet at hand.
