KING EDWARD AND THE
AMERICAN MRS. SIMPSON

Reports persist that King Edward
VIII of England will make the American
Mrs. Simpson, his queen shortly after
his coronation. Many of his friends as
sert that the king is far too good a Judge
Of public opinion to take such a step.
Yet the report finds its sources among
others of his close friends. The king al
ready has shattered many royal prece-
dents.
1t is difficult for the American mind
to realize the furore such a step would
cause among the inhabitants of the Brit
ish Isles. An American Queen of En-
gland? Well, there have been French,
Scotch and German Queens of England,
and nobody thought to object. The OBJ
lection is that Mrs. Simpson is not of
royal blood. Neither was Anne Boleyn,
one of the queens of Henry VIII. Anne
Boleyn was the mother of Elizabeth,
most famous of all England's queens.
Another objecton is that Mrs. Simp-
son. when and if she weds the king, will
have been divorced. Surely, in the light
of a history that recounts the scandals of
Henry VIII and others of a great license,
there can be no objection there! If King
Edward proposes to marry Mrs. Slmp-
son, it is far more admirable thing
than some of his ancestors have done.
All this is the American viewpoint.
True Britons will not subscribe to it,
although they will tolerate what hap
pens.
To the American, it would seem far
better for the English king to avoid the
intermarriage which has weakened Eur
opean royal families, and to tie a knot
which. although it might lack official
significance, nevertheless cannot help
holding the people of America closer to
the people of England.
Why, Americans ask, should his royal
blood prevent the king from marrying
whom he chooses?
But then. Americans from the begin
ming have not understood the concerns
of royalty.

PROPOSITION NO. IL
TAXES ON UNSECURED PROPERTY

Assembly constitutional amendment
No. AZ listed on the Nov 3 ballot as
Proposition No. II, merely extends the
provisions of an amendment adopted in
1924. making it clearer. It's adoption
will result in a considerable saving to
taxpayers of California through elimina-
ton of clerical work necessary at the
present time in burdensome system.
The proposed amendment extends to
personal property and to possession OF
land and taxable improvements on land
which itself is exempt from taxation,
if a lien on the land is not of sufficient
value to secure payment, provisions OF
the amendment adopted in 1924. The
amendment provides that this property,
assessed before the current tax rate Is
set. NAV be assessed on the basis of the
tax rate for the preceding year. 1t does
not prohibit later equalization of taxes.
The provision would eliminate a situ-
alton where, when the new rate is set
and if it is higher than the old one, the
difference in amount of tax had to be
collected, or if the new rate is lower,
the difference had to be refunded. This
is an expensive process which should
be eliminated.

NEW YORK, Oct 27-Ethel Bar
rymore's decision to retire some
time ago was not unexpected. For
several years she has been har-
assed by many vicisitudes. Life
for the once glamorous stage star
became a rigamarole of sundry up
sets. So much 80 the Rialto spoke
of defeats as Barrymore luck"
For a time she was rebellious
and a bit indiscreet in accepting
the inevitable forces of Time that
presaged her professional eclipse.
She tried to recapture her vanish
ing glory, while crippled, by an i'll
starred tank tour which proved
disheartening in many ways.
But today those who know says
she has mellowed. An altogether
different lady from the throaty i'm
perious figure so dramatized as the
dominating integral of the Royal
Family. The articles of her call
ing dropped away, revealing her
as folksy and humane.
She lives quietly and in neigh
| borly fashion al Mamaroneck,
Where once she faced the world
like the hauty queen. she has be-
come housewifey, serene and even
an occasional complacent rocker on
the front porch. She realizes she
| has had her Big Hour and is con-
/ tent.
A flattering lady whose name, a
| pseudonym 1 suppose, is Dorian
| Gray, writes me she is preparing on
I order a book called Celebrity
! Street" and wishes to include a
| vignette of me. She lists among
her notion of celebrities Toscanini,
| Chaplin. Tallulah Bankhead, Anna
Sten, Lanny Ross. Marlene Dietrich,
Katharine Hepburn. Charles Laugh
ton, Paderewski, Lily Pons, Mary
| Garden, Katharine Cornell, Bea-
trice Lille, Major Bowes, Paul
Whiteman and 10 Davidson.
All her candidates have attained
a celebrity suppose-some notable
and a few, including myself, only
very mild $3.50. However, the
lady will find many reactionaries
TO her list. A careful historian at
small dinner the other night OBJ
served that in his opinion America
has produced but one figure in the
last decade who would be generally
known 100 years from now. His
selection was Lindbergh. I do not
agree, but the list will not include
more than half a dozen.

News Behind the News
Pennsylvania And The WPA The
Republicans Concentrate Politics
Holds The Purse Strings

HARRISBURG. Pa, - Pennsylvania IS the
state where Republicans have concentrated their
charges of politics in WPA and their choice
appears to have been well made.
Anyone who supposes there isn't plenty OF
Democratic politics in the administration OF WPA
IN Pennsylvania qualities himself for the BOBBY
prize of 1896
The prize should be shared with the other
fellow who thinks there would BE- any less poll
tics in WPA if Pennsylvania We're in the hands
Of the Republicans.
The keystone state always has been notorious
for its political corruption and an astonishing
proportion OF its more conspicuous office holders
and political leaders have at one time an
other bsen indicted, disbarreo, convicted or 9TH
erwise involved in public scandal.
AS far as WPA is concerned brief glance
plus consultation with certain -partiSanS who
preserve a cold and fishy eye-as well as with
politicians of both parties-convinces this writer
that politics has flourished far more in WPA in
Pennsylvania than Harry Hopkins would have
YOU believe and that the atrocities arising there
from have been far less numerous and fragrant
than Republicans alege.
o.
II further appears that the voters of Penn
sylvania aren't registering any dangerously high
blood pressure over the politicians prostitution
OF WPA and that the WPA workers themselves
are impressed with the iniquity OF it TO only a
very limited degree.
One hears some very violent objections to
WPA its program and its operation on other
grounds But the state is hardened TO political
scandal and it's politicians aren't acting more
wickedly than anyone would expect.
Industrial corporations in Pennsylvania for
decades have had unequaled records for political
as well as economic coercion, pressure, ana eH-
ploitation of employees
No one has had chance TO make survey,
but the Impression even among many New
Dealers-is that all added up, a great as.ount
of political pressure is being exeried upon WPA
Workers II varies with localities and IN many
sections there isn't any at all.
Ten per cent OF WPA personnel is on an
appointive bias That covers the administra-
tl1ve staff Thousands of foremen, supervisors
and tinlekeepers, consequently, are political APP
painlees
Usually they owe their jobs TO Democratic
county chairmen. who under the present state
administration are nearly all public officials
