Preserving Our Rights
Does our Constitution protect our

. BY MAX BERNS

Does our Constitution protect our
individual rights?
Our Constitution states and defines
our rights and liberties. But all his.
tory and our own experience shows
this is not enough. Accordingly, our
Constitution provides for and EN-.
powers our Courts to protect us in
these rights and liberties. This ap-
plies not only to the federal govern.
ment but also to state governments.
For example, the legislature In
one state passed a law curtailing
freedom of the press; one state de-
MED the right Of freedom Of speech;
one state passed q law making lille.
gal the free exercise Of religion;
one state passed q law to take your
property from you without just com.
pensation; one state convicted three
men Of murder with no other evi.
dence than confessions" extorted
BY beating, strangulation and other
brutal treatment By the authorities.
DIn each Of these instances and "a
many others, the cases were brought
to the Supreme Court Of the United
States which, upon hearing the eVi.

deceased saloonkeeper and Bar
tholomeW Bollacco were sitting in
the saloon talking when Rice en-
tered. Jerry Twohig jumped off the
table he was sitting on and i'm
plored the man not to shoot. Boil
lacco said Rice glared at him like
a demon and said: You Irish,
I am going to kill you,' and raised
his rifle to his shoulder as >deliber-
ately as though he was going to
shoot a beef. Bollacco said Rice
took aim and shot the deceased
thru the left side, and then the
wounded man turned and was shot
through the right side. The eye
witness said the man Rice did not
seem the least disconnected and
was calm and deliberate. After the
shooting he said Rice went out of
the back door and has not been
seen since. 1t is supposed he has
gone to some part of Wyoming,

POLITICS

Cutting the WPA rolls is not surprising considering
that the election is over.
Promises by the government of unlimited aid to the
needv vanished into thin air with the announcement OF
drastic slash in federal employment and the average GU
izen wonders if the government sincere in it's cam
paign promise to give every chance to make hV-
ing.
Now that the election is and the Democrats are
introduced for another four years. there probably is no
immediate need for consideration of the unemployed The
has passed and while the forces of industry
are taking up the unemployment slack fast as 1t is pos
sbe to do so the government which before election spent
money with such lavish hand apparently isn't interest
ed in doing it's bit.
The situation is all the ironic considering that
the government shortly before election, gave WPA work
ers raise of 10 percent gave hints of another raise to
come in the near future raise the workers goout OF
their obs and they beginning to realize that the
opulency of government has it's limits.

'freal" wages arg increased, every.
body benefits. BY "real" wages
Brookings means what the con
sumer's dollar actually will buy
This does not resolve itself in.
to an argument against increased
wages. On the contrary, it calls
for constantly but gradually in
creasing wages, but it does oppose
increasing the wages of one group
faster than those of another.
In short, the automobile indus
try seems to be proving the theory
that the way to real prosperity
is sound economics-see to it
that the wage earner can buy
more with his wages.
This advance has been accom-
plished without government aid
or subsidy. The only threat is
that of taxes rising more rapidly

hardly possible that anything big the nations rail-

Again. however, it is necessary to remember that the
exceptions do not prove the rule And important

This investigation is headed by Senator Wheeler of
Montana who chairman of the Senate Interstate Com

for government ownership and operation of all railroads.
H. A. Wheeler, chairman of the Transportation Confer

a rather startling discovery-that
one of the most fruitful attempts
to speed recovery actually saved
the American people $637,000,-
900 a year.
Surprisingly, little has been
said about it in the public prints.
The reason is that a group of

could be done, and did it, with no
fuss or fanfare. They were the
men who design and produce the

A few short months ago, every
body was hunting a depression
cure. Engineers and efficiency
specialists went to work in the
automobile industry. Their first
aim, of course, was to help their
industry, but what they did was
bound to reach others.
The result was this: In 1928,
there were 3,25O,O0O cars sold at
a total cost of $2,92O,5OO,OOO. In
the year ending November /, 1886
about the same number of new

The answer, OF course, was that
Americans bought cheaper cars.
But can anybody compare the
$3.50 cars of 1886 with the $3.50
cars of 1928? And did not the man
who bought a $3.50 car in 1886
get nearly as much as he did for
$1,000 in 1928?
What the automobile industry
actually did was sell better cars
for less money. In short, it put
$637,O0O,00O which might have
gone into automobiles back into
the pockets of consumers for pur-
chases of other articles. There
fore, not only was the automobile
industry able to increase it's en-
poyment, and sell it's cars for con-
stantly decreasing money, but
$637,000,OO0 was released for
other expenditures.

The automobile industry's ex-
perience illustrates the theory
which economists, and industries
themselves, have been expounding
for years: Produce more at low
er cost. The Brookings Institution
has explained the idea in a little
different language. It says that if
money wages are forced up too
rapidly, there will be an econom-
ic breakdown because prices-the
cost Of living-will rise too fast.
If, however, Brookings says,

the total automobile industry pay

knows the Hungarian better than

intendent of the Canal street lodge,
was head of the transient lodge at
lexington place and @ street north
east when Misco came there in Febru-
ary, 1884, as case No. 81.
Misco was put to work at the wood
yard on Constitution avenue between
Sixth and Seventh streets. For this
work transients received their board
and lodging and 81 per week. But not
so with Misco, who refused to accept
the money. He worked as a transient
until the system was abolished last
year.
Forbes said he's tried to get some
sort of an explanation. but Misco
simply won't talk about it. He doesn't
like to talk about himself at all,
Forbes says.
He's congenial-except when the
conversation shifts around to him.

workers at the lodge. according to the
superintendent.
