TOKYO, Feb. 26.-A group of young army officers assassinated three Cabinet ministers, including the Premier, today in a sudden thrust at liberal statesman, a gov- ernment source said.
 Emperor Hirohito has commando ed the Nationalist Fumio Goto to form new government. Goto is Minister of Home Affairs, the office of which carries with it control of police.
 Those killed were Premier Okada Admiral Viscount Makota Saito, and the Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal, former Premier Gen. Jotaro Watanabe, chief of military educa- tion. Those seriously wounded in- cluded Finance Minister Korekiyo Takahaski, Admiral Kantaro Suz- uki, the Lord Chamberlin of the Imperial Court. Takahaharki died later.
 Soldiers Ordered Out
 Soldiers were ordered out on duty immediately to maintain order around the Imperial Palace All government offices were placed un- der heavy military guard
 In the recent parliamentary elec- ton which demonstrated a swing toward liberalism, the Japanese aiactoro+a baJ ac+obIiebod nrox~.;<~ Okada more firmly in power. The young officers action was regarded as an attempt at a military coup d etat. The officers previously had criticised Premier Okada, a re- tired Admiral as not sufficiently supporting the military program on the Asiatic mainland.
 EUROPE, ASIA IN SUSPENSE
 LONDON, Feb 6.-Unofficial re- ports here and in China said that martial law had been declared in Tokyo and elsewhere in Japan fol- lowing the assassination of several political leaders as the army sprung a coup following the elections in which the proletarian element gain ed ground although did not gain control of the government
 Strict censorship has been in voked and news from the country is limited. The entire nation is re- ported in turmoil.
 Capitals of Europe and Asia were in suspense today as the news leaked out of an attempted government overthrow in the land of the rising sun.

WASHINGTON-There is just chance, in
case anyone wants to be optimistic, that the
country won't 90 to the dogs, regardless OF who's
elected.
This is said with full realization of the
gravity Of assertions that RooSevelts reelection
means chaos and dictatorship and that Lam
don's election would lead to black reaction and
FasciSm.
While it may be that there is more general
worry about the future this year than prac-
tically ever before conclusive evidence shows
that such worry Is by no means unique Any
one with nose for research can learn quickly
that most of the laws and institutions most
highly regarded today, to say nothing OF presi-
dental choices were once widely viewed-or
at least, publicly descrbed-aS certain to wreck
our nation.
Early food and drug legislation badly need
ed to cure poisonous medicines and putretied
meat in cans, was denounced as unconstltu-
tional an infringement state rights and py
Congressman Bartlett of Georgia as part Of the
onward march to Capitalization and bureau
cracy.
The celebrated Joseph H Choate, attack
ing the income tax before the U. S. Supreme
Court, said it was being defended here upon
principles Communistc, Socialstic, and Popu-
nStic as ever have been addressed to any politi-
cal assembly in the world"
Twenty-Five years ago. lobbyists were oppoS-
ing the parcel post law and telling congressional
committees that our government already has
approached the haltng line of Socialistic and
paternalistic legislation
Parcel post, it was said, would drive the small
country merchant out of business and was an
extension of bureaucracy.
This administrations references to private
Socialism" also seem TO be old stuff. In 1888
President Grover Cleveland was warning against
the Communism of combined wealth and cap
tai in connection with proposed antitrust laws.
Years later the American Bankers Association
was warning that the Clayton antitrust bill
would be injurious to business and the National
Association of Manufacturers said unless there
is cessation of hostility to legitimate business
the vitality of our commerce and trade will be
critically impaired"
The Federal Reserve System bill was "revol-
utionary, Sociahstic and unconstitutional ac-
cording to Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island,
and practically all the bankers insisted it was
runous
When direct election of senators was pro-
posed the eminent Senator George Frisbe
Hoar of Massachusetts, announced that when
that was accomplished, the American Consti-
tuition is gone" Senator Elihu Root warned
that by the Constitution to protect the Ameri-
can democracy against ITSELF

PRISONERS SHOULD WORK
FOR THEIR BOARD AND KEEP

Los Angeles county is establishing
road camps for inmates of county jails.
Their intention, We understand, is to
make certain types of prisoners help
"pay their way" by giving the county
value received in road and highway con-
struction.
California is very much taX-conscious.
The coming election will hinge largely
on who gives the most convincing prom
ises relative to tax reduction and eco
nomical administration. Of the state
burdens, none is more deserving of the
cost of Furnishing criminals either in
state or county institutions. These Grim
inals do nothing to offset the financial
load. The taxpayers pay the cost OF
the law-breaker's sojourn in compara-
tive comfort.
There is one way to economic and at
the same time make criminals think
twice before breaking laws-that is to
let them earn their way while in penal
institutions, doing necessary work for
which the county or state would other
wise be forced to pay real tax dollars.
1t is high time we stop supporting those
who don't help support the state.

THE LIQUOR SCANDAL


Unpleasant and very, very unsatisfac-
tory reports continue to seep from the
liquor scandal mess. Most of us have
difficulty understanding just what is
going on-a questioning attitude appar-
emily shared by many others more close
ly involved.
Regardless of the "payoffs" revealed.
regardless of the unpolite debate be-
tween Gov. Merriam and Imperial coun-
tvs own Ray Edgar, regardless of the
grand jury Investigations one conclu-
sion is universal The liquor control sys-
tenn is a mess and reflects directly back
on the Governor, on the state admins
tration, on the state legislators and on
the state Republican party.
Just who deserves blame and who de-
serves pity; who has his fingers in the
pie and who is valiantly working against
odds to clean it; we do not yet know.
That any persons name is drawn into
the unsavory picture does not condemn
him. He might be in the position of
endeavoring to eliminate a disgraceful
political control-an effort most GER
tainly deserving public applause.
But the public deserves to know which
is which-who is guilty and who is in
nocent. The innocent owe it to them
selves to see that the underworld does
not stop the Investigations, and that the
pig is pulled from the bag so that every
voter may see it.
We do not believe that public opinion
is going to be satisfied with letting the
matter drop.

Other Editors Say
WHISPERING CAMPAIGNS

There is a good deal of talk going around
about whispering campaigns And to tell tht
truth, there seems to be some ground for it,
In a way, there would be relief in politi
cal campaign conducted in whispers rather than
blared forth through loudspeakers. The present
campaign so far speaking with special refer
ence to the party conventions has been all too
noisy and tiresone.
Nevertheless honest and decent people will
agree that it is better to have cur ears deaf
ened by partisan camor than our minds poison
ed by things that people do not dare to say out
loud Stories and accusations shouted from
the platform and the broadcasting station can
be answered.
Against poisonous whispers, there is no de-
fense. Too many men and women, normally
decent and fairminded, are moved by political
zeal in close contest to accept lies on the say
SO of credulous friends and pass them on.
AS a matter of fact runners in a political
campaign should be considered with great
deal of suspicion
