F|ORENzA AIDED
BY PSYCH|ATR|ST
Tub Murder Defendant Held
Potentially Insane Long
Before Crime.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 25.-A State
psychiatrist, called by the defense to-
day at the trial of John Fioreaza, "a
year-old upholsterer's helper. for the
Staying of Mrs. Nancy Evans litter
ton, swore Fiorenza was regarded as
potentially insane three years before
the fiction writer was attacked and
strangled.
DR.. James Lincoln Mccartney. psy-
chiatrist at Elmira Reformatory. in
1888, testified he examined Fiorenza
on April 10, 1888, a month after he
was committed for grand larceny, and
found him narcissistic, suffering
from an oedipus complex. and def
nitely schizoid. y
Fiorenza, Dr.. Mccartney concluded,
might profit from psychotheraphy.
but if pushed too hard might become
psychotic and should be classed as
potentially psychotic."
Henry Klauber, counsel for Fiorenza.
called the psychiatrist in his efforts
to prove to Judge Charles c. Mott. jr,
and a jury that the youth was ire
spcnsible and therefore should not be
sent to the electric chair.
"Fiorenza," DR.. Mccartney said.
was Of dull, normal intelligence. de-
hberate in action. but readily inf1u-
enced and prone to fall in the path
Of least resistance.
He was emotioually unstable. an
introyert, and Is definitely retarded In
psycho-sexual development. He has
a very juvenile attitude toward adult
sex"
Fiorenza listened calmly.
"As a child he was nervous and sub
iect to moody spells" DR.. Mccartney
continued. He suffered an overat-
atchment to his mother (the oedipus
complex.
HE is schizoid Chis personality
disintegrates under certain condi-
tions), likes to be by himself and in
dulge in day-dreaming. He Is mar
cissistic "a psychopathic form Of
vanity and likes to show on in .
childish way. Being a recidivist
(prone to relapses In crime) he Will
continue to get into trouble on his
release"
Fiorenza was not insane in 1888,
DR.. Mccartney said, but added he
felt Ibis condition might become a
form of dementia praecox."

GOV. NICE EXPECTS
LAW CORRECTION.
Six-Month Auto Tax Ex-
tension Given by Legis-
Iative Mistake.
ny the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE. May 2s.-Gov. Harry
W. Nice signed the legislative bill
which, In effect, gives motorists six
month license tax extension, In the
hopes the defect would be corrected
by the Legislature"
The Governors stand on the matter
was disclosed today by State Budget
Director w. H. Brakeman. Gov. Nice
Is on vacation.
The bill in question was passed by
the 1896 Legislature and extends the
date for purchase of license tags from
December 81 to March 81 of each
year.
There is defect in the measure"
Brakeman said, which pointed out
to the Governor 1 discussed 1t with
him, but he was so impressed with the
excellence of the idea that he signed
the bill in hopes the defect would be
corrected by the 1887 Legislature.
1.-The defect isn't serious"
Date Of Insurance Changed.
The bill in question, sponsored by
Senator Harry T. Phoebus. Republic
an, of Somerset. who recently came
back into regular Republican ranks
after having spent months criticizing
the Nice administration, amended the
old law only by changing the date for
issuance of the tags.
The old law, however. provided that
tags purchased after March 81 could
be gotten for three-fourths OF the
original cost. since one qffuarter OF
the year already had passed. The
Phoebus law did not change that pro-
vision.
Purchase Time Extended.
Therefore, as the law now stands,
motorists need not purchase their 1887
tags until April l, 1887. When they
purchase them then, they will have
to pay only three -fourths of the origi-
nal cost and the tags will be good
until April l, 1898. That amounts to
the motorists getting a full years tag
for only three -fourths of the intended
cost.
The 1887 Legislature meets in jan
uary. however, and will have three
months in which to correct the defect
before the new law becomes effective.
The defect was disclosed in rul-
ing by Attorney General Herbert r.
O'Conor.
However, O'Connor said parts OF
the original law still in force would
allow car owners to buy their 1887
licenses after April / for only three
fourths OF the yearly fee. BY the
amended section. however. these 1887
licenses would be used for a full
year, through the first three months
OF 1888.
Legislature May Act.
H pointed out that the Legislature
will meet before the 1887 licenses
must be bought, however. This
means that the law may be changed
to remove the -fourths-fee pro-
vision.
The date on the opinion showed
that 1t was sent to Gov. Harry w.
Nice before he signed the bill chang
ing the date of expiration Of tags.
The opinion came to light when o
group of them was sent to q printer
to be prepared for inclusion In the
attorney generals annual report.

Who pays for political attacks on industry?
The public pays, in destroyed opportunities, in lost
jobs, in higher taxes, in reduced purchasing power.
Who pays for tax policies which levy punitive
class" or special taxes against essential business?
Again the public pays-and through the nose.
An excellent example of that fact is provided by
the special taxes against chain stores which have been
levied in various states, and are advocated in others.
These taxes are usually of the progressive variety-a
merchandising organization pays, for example, a $40 spe-
cial tax for each of its first ten stores, and $40 for each
store thereafter up to Is, and then $500 per store, or
some other exorbitant figure for each store ovr 20.
What is the result of such a tax? 1t is just another
legislated boost to living costs. 1t means that the over
burdened householder must pay more than he would
otherwise for his food, his drugs, his gasoline, etc.
There are 1~25,000,0O0 people in this country. Every
one of them is a consumer. Every one of them must eat
food, must occasionally use drugs, must buy clothes. A
tax against merchandising systems that cut selling costs
by reducing the pread between producer and consumer
is a tax against every one of these lbs 100000 people 1t
is a tax that is inevitably reflected in a thinner public
pocketbook, reduced purchasing power for all commodi-
ties other than necessities. Thus do special class taxes
strike all business.
No form of merchandising, chain or grouped indie
pendents, should be penalized to benefit another. ALI
should be treated with fairness and equitableness. Only
in that way can the great consuming pubic receive the
service it deserves-and benefit as well from the econ
omies that come from more efficient methods of pro-
ducing, distributing and retailing commodities.

Our Air Defense

When the world is uneasy and upset by war clouds
hanging over almost every nation, it is hearetning to
note that our own aviation industry, in spite Of many
handicaps, has been steadily forging to the front.
The air transport industry of the United States,
even though %hampered by a reduction in mail payments,
has gone ahead, increased its service TO the public in
speed, comfort and regularity, to a point where it is a
daily peace-time necessity and undoubtedly an indis-
pensible, il not the most important, factor in national
defense.
Other governments recognize the value of this most
modern form of transportation as an important and nee
essary adjuncs of military service. They subsidize the
air lines on a mileage basis, TO an extent as high as ten
times that of our air lines, and yet our lines are faster,
more regular and the planes are more comfortable, as
is shown by tn fact that the Dutch, Swiss and Polish air
lines, having the world from which to choose, buy
American air liners.
Citizens of this country can be proud of their avia-
ton industry. It is another example OF American mi
tiaive and enterprise. In the air, it puts us in a position
of supremacy that our world famed clipper ships did
three generations ago, in sea trade.
This country must maintain its lead as an air-mind-
ed nation.

One of the results of the passage of the federal So
cal security act has been the awakening of interest on
the part of some large companies in the welfare of their
employees. Some of these organizations have announced
plans to protect their employees against the economic
dangers the social security act seeks to eliminate.
The trouble with the initiative now being shown
by these corporations is that it comes after government
action has forced it. From the standpoint Of society it is
betterr for some nationwide plan to be worked out
than to have a limited number Of employees who hap
pen to work for such corporations to be protected while
the great mass of workers remained unprotected.

Well Done, Gov. Holt
Daniels County Leader)

Under an Associated Press headline today the state
press publishes a news item to the effect that Governor
Holt has put an end to the Liquor Advertising Racket
of a certain Helena weekly.
But why not be specific Last fall The Leader dis
played that paper and its mass of booze ads all over the
country. II was known then as "The Western Progress
i've" a weekly paper which tried to kid the farmers and
laborers into believing it was the essence of honesty
and purity.
The Montana Press Association members charged
that distileries and advertising agencies were given to
understand that if they wanted orders for liquor in
Montana they had to see that The Western Progressive
got a large amount of advertising at an exorbitant price.
And now, one of Governor Hollis first acts was to
assure the Montana Press Association, distilleries and
others, that hereafter when the state of Montana buys
liquor no newspaper will be given a monopoly on the
advertising.
That the racket has been stopped there is no
doubt. For the first time, The Leader last week received
an inquiry from a big eastern advertising agency as to
whether or not we would accept liquor advertising The
advertising on the product which the agency wishes to
advertise in The Leader and other Montana newspapers
has been monopolized for the past two years by state
administration papers, principally The Western Pro-
gressive.
Free power for nothing is a myth, a political
legend. You've got to pay for it. Let's face reality

TALKING

Every kind of beasts, and of birds
and of serpents, and of things in the
sea, is tanned, and hath been tanned of
mankind. But the tongue can no man
tame; it is an unruly evil, full of
deadly poison"
This is just as true today as when
it was written, nearly 1900 years ago.
Alas, why do people so love to gossip.
Some gossips are malicious, and de-
llberately tear regulations to shreds,
break hearts, ruin careers. They do
this to people of whom they are en-
vious or jealous or who have a little
more of this worlds goods than they
have. They start whispering CAM
paigns about people who stand well
socially. Other gossips, who have no.
thing at all against the man or woman
who is the subject of SANDER, pass il
on to other takers. The poisonous
story not only grows in volume but
in momentum. 1t began as a whisper,
it becomes a storm. Regulations are
blasted, hearts are crushed, lives are
saddened and ruined. Yes, the tongue
is a little member, but it is set on fire
of hell" says the Bible.
People talk to much anyway. A lot
of talk is not r%estful, neither is it edi-
flying. Instead of thinking and then
speaking, w often everse the order.
VIZ speak and her think of it re-
gretfully for a long while afterwards.
Sometimes a few words too many
turns a victory into defeat. AS an il
lustration: "A negro man was being
for n~on-support of his wife and
babies. After the testimony was all in
and the husband had agreed to pay
the amount determined by the court,
the wife clamored for jest one more
word, jedge.'
You have won your case and
there are so many cases waiting said

10 tell you how stingy dis man is. Why
he is SO stingy dat he wouldn't even
pay for a enforcement from his first
Crash went the lawsuit; she couldn't
get a penny after her last word.
If we must talk, let us try to make
our words as apples of gold in pic
of silver" Let us not fill the air
complaint, self-pity, spiteful re-
marks about others. 1t creates a poi
atmosphere. People can't
we'll in it. 1t chokes and stunts
nigh thoughts, it dwarfs and withers
endeavor, it curdles the milk of
human kindness.
Let our words bespeak the good will
hat we feel to all mankind. If we
must rebuke, let it be done kindly,
without barbs and stings. 1t will be far
more effective. Words! Wordsl What
the use of SO much idle talk any

fort and encouragement, and fewer
