Italian Children
To Be Reminded Of
Sanctions by Bibs

ROME, Feb. IA d.N.s0.-Benito
Mussolini has already kept part
Of the promise he made to his
people in the speech Of october
End, 1895: that the memory Of
sanctions would be- handed from
father to son. and from sons to
their son and grandsons."
He has ordered that all children
Of soldiers who are fighting in
East Africa and who are being
cared for at the expense of the
Government shall be reminded Of
sanctions every moment of their
waking hours.
All such children have been pro-
vided with bibs around the rim Of
which, in letters four inches tall,
is inscribed: II shall never forget
the date November 18, 1885,"
A child's natural curiosity and
its teachers patriotism will do the
rest.
Since bibs are things which in
Italy are usually worn one gener.
alton after another, II Duce has
seen to 1t that at least the children
OF those who fought in East Africa
will have tangible mementoes Of
the "inquitous" sanctions to pass
on to their children and grand.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. IA U.S0.
New Dealers" are openly espous-
ing dictatorship, Senator Warren
r. Austin (R), Of Vermont,
charged here last night.
In q vigorous attack on legisla-
ton centering authority in the
Executive and on proposals to
amend the Constitution to circum'
vent decisions Of the Supreme
Court holding unconstitutional
major acts Of the present admin
istration, Austin declared that
"only the action Of the Supreme
Court has checked the New Deals
attempt to place the United States
under the slavery Of dictatorship" "
Austin asserted:
"New Dealers In Congress
have proposed, in addition to
repeal Of the Tenth Amend
ment, IA amendments Of vary
ing scope having the objective
of curtailing the power Of the
courts and increasing the au-
thOrity Of Congress and the
President"
The, Senator explained that the
Tenth Amendment is that part
Of the bill Of rights which re-
served to the States or to the
people all the powers not dele
gated to the United States, nor
prohibited to the States.

SALES TAX

BETH ESDA, Md, Feb. IA.
Branding the present method Of
administering relief as "the worst
political racket ever perpertated
against the American people"
the Maryland Anti-SaleS-Tax AS
sociation today challenged a re-
cent statement by GOV. Harry w.
Nice, in which he declared 1t
would be unfair to use gasoline
tax and other motor vehicle rev.
enue for any other purpose than
for construction and maintenance
Of roads.
Walter K. Bachrach, Of Be
thesda, Md, organizer and head
Of the anti7sales tax movement.
in a letter to the governor cited
the untitled campaign promises
of Governor Nice and his con-
stituents of 50 automobile tags,
and declared that instead the
cost of operating automobiles for
Maryland residents has materially
increased since he took office.
Heavy Tax Burden
In addition to this increased cost
In motor-vehicle operation, caused
by the imposition Of a / per cent
titling tax, which forces persons
wishing to obtain a Maryland title
to pay a per cent tax on the pur.
chase price Of their automobile,
the citizens Of the State generally
are burdened with between $6,000,-
900 and 100000 in taxes an
nually.
In his letter to the governor. Mr..
Bachrach declared his organiza-
ton, which now numbers its men,
bers in the thousands, is not op-
posed to relief administered on a
non-political basis, such as is now
in operation in Montgomery
county, but is against POLITICAL
racket-spending called relief, which
Is now demoralizing the counties Of
Maryland.
Bachrach's Stand
Mr.. Bachrach, in a previous
statement, urged a diversion of
a larger portion Of the gas tax
fund to finance the highway
debt service, thus releasing ap-
proximately $2,500, 900 in general
tax funds now employed for that
purpose. In today's letter he
asks:
"Just why are road funds
sacred funds not to be touched
for other purposes? When /

advise the county or the State
not to use any Of these funds
for school purposes because

to refuse to pay these taxes
because they may be used to

EXTOLLS SERVICE
IN MERIT SYSTEM
Sir WiIlmott Lewis Tells
F.F. E. U. Forum of Value
to Government.

Young men-and women-could
perform no greater service than bend
their efforts toward encouraging the
spread of the merit system in the
interest of good government, Sir
Willmott Lewis, Washington corre-
spondent of the London Times, last
night told the Educs tional Forum of
the District Federation of Federal
Employe Unions. The meeting, well
attended, was held at headquarters,
ITO Fourteenth street.
"I don't know what my country
would have done without her civil
service in the troubled days since the
war, he said.
Sir Willmott sketched the history
Of the British civil service from its
inception late in the eighteenth CEN
tury when it was applied in the East
India Company to give the govern
ment control of appointments previ-
ously vested in officials of that organ
ization, and on to 1870 when the
civilian Offices of the entire kingdom
were made subject to competitive test.
SpOils System Old.
The advance did not come easily,
the speaker said, adding dryly that
''the idea that to the victor belongs
the spoils' was not original with
Andrew Jackson; we were calling that
very old stuff before Jackson was
born"
Sir Willmott warned against the
slightest taint of partisanship in civil
service.
THE duty of civil service as I see it
Is to make its opinion courageously
heard, but not to make its will pre-
vail" he emphasized If it does get
into the field where it attempts to
make its will prevail, then it becomes
what I call a bureaucracy"
Questioned by Audience.
At the conclusion Of his talk Sir
Willmott spent some time answering
questions from the floor on the opera
ton of the British civil service. He
was rendered a rising vote of thanks
by the federation.
Luther c. Steward, president of the
National Federation of Federal En-
ployes presided. DR.. j. Franklin
Meyers is chairman of the forum.

INFANT MORTALITY

In the long list of accomplishments to
the credit of modern medical science per
haps none has a greater significance than
the success attained in the reduction of
childhood deaths
Queen Anne of England, born i'm
1864, bore II children, only one of whom
lived more than year, and he died at the
age of IL. Now large families of children
often mature-without death.
Through medical education and the
treatment of early defects the child's
chance of reaching maturity has been
greatly increased, especially during the
last half century. The heightened aver
age span of human life which now pre-
walls is largely due to reduction of NOR
tally among infants
In addition to regularly employed
physicians and nurses by public health
units, thousands of volunteer workers are
cooperating in the noble task of saving
babies lives.
For their effective efforts in this and
other directions looking to the preserva-
ton of human life the medical profession
and those cooperating are entitled to the
highest praise

IF A CANDIDATE DIES

The question is sometimes asked as
to what would happen if a candidate for
President should die between the time of
his nomination and election day. The an
swer is that the national committee of the
candidates party is authorized to fill the
vacancy. Or, it may call a national con-
vention for that purpose.
In case of the death of a candidate
for vice-president the same procedure
would be followed. This has actually hap
pened once in our history.
1t was in 1912, when Vice-PreSident
James S. Sherman was a candidate for re-
election with President Taft. Sherman
died or October 30 only few days before
the election, and the Republican national
committee designated Nicholas Murray
Butler to fill the vacancy. Taft and But
Ter carried only two states and
Utah-on account of the split in the party
caused by the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt on the Bull Moose" ticket.
If PreSident-elect should die before
inauguration day, the Vice-Pesident-ele
would become President. There is no con-
stitutional or statutory provision for desig-
mating President if both the President
elect and Vice-President-elect should die
before Inauguration day
Strictlylspeaking President is not
elected until the seiectorS nave cast their
ballots, and electors are not legally bound
to vote .farythe choice of their respective
states, obut 'theyaare morally bound to do
so. No electOr has ever failed to fulfill
that obligation

GET UP EARLY OCCASIONALLY

If the sun rose only once year in
Key West, its colorful arrival would be
greeted with brass bands and a civic out
pouring of delighted inhabitants.
If our sleepy citizens would wake up

would secure the same thrill of enjoyment
as the earth turns to greet it's source of
light
If you think this is applesauce get out

ION come to life, tinted with the hues that
defy brush of artist and all words of de-
scription. You will be amply repaid for

WINTER in SOUTH AMERICA

If it is any pleasure to the reader we
call attention to the fact that South Am
erica is enjoying a comparatively mild
winter while North America swelters in a
heat wave which Isl, by all reports, real
heat wave..saov.
Maybe the time will come when those
of us who dislike the heat of summer will
take off in our flying ships and go to South
America for our winters and our South
American friends will, if they feel like it,
spend part of the year in the United
States.
The idea is not as fastastic as it may
sound. Not so many years ago nobody in
the United States believed it possible for
millions of Americans to travel thousands
of miles in private vehicles on their vaca
tons.

high-cost producers. But the Govern
ment can not well discriminate be-
tween farmers on the basis of its esti-
mate of their efficiency; it must treat
the producers of a given crop SUBJ
stantially alike. AlfmuSt reduce their
output or acreage by a certain per-
centage, and as a result past produc-
ton gives the farmer certain vested
rights"
The curtailment of output COM
bined with the encouragement of in
efficient producers operating on poor
land. naturally raises the prices of
agricultural products, and this is not
only burden to consumers. but leads
to the loss of foreign markets.
The scheme of control is also I'M
sound because it adds to unemploy-
ment. Crop curtailment throws out
of employment those formerly en-
gagged in producing. transporting,
processing. and distributing the re-
stricted crops. An authority on agri-
culture has estimated that the pro-
gram of the AAA threw at least two
million men and women into the
ranks of the unemployed. most of
whom had to go on relief. and be sup
ported by the country.
The scheme of control also has a
demoralizing effect upon the farmer.
That he should be paid not to pro-
duce does great violence to the prin-
ciples that have hitherto governed
his daily life; and though he takes
the money. and who would not?, he
can hardly help feeling that the policy
does not make sense.
