A POLITICAL FADE-OUT

The notation from Washington that the address
of Governor Earle, of Pennsylvania, is freshly
suggestive of pretenSions of coalition to control
der the name of the Democratic party, without so
much as a by-your-eave to the Southern society,
which Governor Earle was addressing, lists the ee-
ments of that coalition They include the big city
machines of the NORTH where big cities grow; the
foreign element amongst the voters, the relief
army, the John L. Lewis labor union faction, and
the negroes So far in latter-day history, it has
appeared that to this confederation might as well
be added, for all practical intents and purposes
the best cunning of that portion of the Democratic
party dwelling south of the Mason and Dixon line
or most of it.
Our Democratic politicians, it is clear, hold in
high respect the precept "If you can't whup EN-,
line 'em." There is not much percentage, to those
in the political trade in sending representative
to Washington unless he is fixed up so he can rep
resent.
And thus, except as to the practical poll .lcal
part of the population, the influence of North
Carolina Virginia and the sister states traditional

That was long time ago. That these states man

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
LOSING BY OVERLAPPING

A few weeks ago the Curtis Publishing company,
publisher of the Saturday Evening Post and sew
eral other large magazines, asked its stockholders
in a QUESTIONABLE whether it should move its plant
! from Philadelphia to some other state because of
new state taxes which, in its case, now amount to
/ S75,O0OO q year, compared to $4,000 three years
ago.
! That was the first hint to outside regions of the
extent to which the "Huey Long-izing" of the Key
stone state has progressed in two years under Gov
George H. Earle III. To Pennsylvanians, now ac-
customed to reading out of the ripping out of Of
flee of judges, the state public service commission
and other boards and services to make way for

ship, this not news.
But the effect of runous taxation on industry is
clearly brought to light in the report of special
committee of the Pennsylvania legislature, which
has made study of taxation applied to bust
ness in the Keystone state. Taxes in Pennsylvania
have been boosted half dozen times in recent
years and industry in particular has been singled
out for heavy imposts, program which politicians
"sod" to the people the pretext that industrial
barons' were not paying their share.

report from large industrial concern, with
three plants in Pennsylvania, was made public by
the committee showing that its Pennsylvania tax
was $1S12 on each $1,000 investment, as COM
pared to II cents in New Jersey, $34S in Massa-
chuSetts and $595 in New York
1t was with the object of getting out from I'M
der new state taxes imposed urder the administra-
ton of Governor Earle that the Curtis Publishing
company recently poed its stockholders on the
ACCESSIBILITY of moving its great publishing plant,
employing 5000 persons, to another state.
The legislative committee found that this pub
fishing firm is forced to pay the state $3.50, 900
year in taxes and real estate taxes in Philadel-
phia of about O,OO0 total of 100000. The
company could build adequately for its require
ments in New Jersey for $500, 600 and its New
Jersey state taxes would be about $500 year,
the committee reported.
This is not "royaSt" propaganda. This is the
report of a committee on taxation appointed by
the Pennsylvania state legislature, which is COM
posed of $50 Democrats and so Republicans in
the house, and 30 Democrats and 16 Republicans

BOOMERS SET PACE FOR WOMEN
REBELS
(By BRUCE CATION

We seem to have passed a notable ami
verSary recently without realizing it. For
it was on May 81, 1S37-iust century
ago - that a determined lady named
Amelia Bloomer first appeared in public to
demonstrate woman's right to dress for
comfort and convenience.
The outfit she wore was something of a
cross between pair of trousers and cir
Gus tent. 1t had no faint resemblance to the
frilly wiSpy things that go by the name of
boomers today. It's billowy pants legs
came to the ankle, and each leg contained
enough solid fabric to outfit an officefull
of 1887 model stenographers.
But for its day it was daring and some
what shocking creation. Amelia Bloomer
was denounced and Numbered at. She
stuck to her guns, inquiring how woman
could be expected to be active in the triple
petticoated dust-mops that went by the
name of skirts in those days; and in the
slow progress of the years wOmans right
to dress Sensibly was at length won.
Today'S woman, who meets the hot sum-
mer days in clothes that are light, cool
and cOmfortable-whilet the superior male
swelterS through them in out-of-date gar
mentS which are none of those things
may never have heard of Amelia, but she
owes her something just the same.
For Amelia was one of those fortnight
American females who established the
great tradition of feminine independence.
These women were direct actionStS; when
they saw something wrong with the scheme
of things they got up and did something
about it, caring not a whit if they got ridi-
culed for their pains.
Carrie Nation was one of those ladies.
She saw in the small-city gin mill blight
and disgrace; and instead of protesting
gently that something ought to be done,
she grabbed her hatchet and went out and
did it. To be sure, the corner gin mill still
exists; but the woman'S right to get up on
her feet and take action has been firmly
established.
So it was with Susan B. Anthony, who
went out into the highways and bywayS
and made an unholy nuisance of herself
about women's rights as citizens. SO it was
with this Amelia Boomer, who decided
women ought to dress more sensibly. Fran
ces Willard was another sprig off the same
tree, and so was Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Some of these women accomplished the
reforms they set out to accomplish and
some of them did not. Whether they sue.
ceeded or not isn't the point. The point is
that they taught their sex to stop playing
Patient Griselda and turn their complaints
into action.

SHORT-LIVED REVOLT

The revolt of the House last week against the
president i'm having voted to earmark good part
of the $500, 100000 appropriated for relief in
order to tie up the White House. turns out to have
been no better than a make-believe.

appropriation itself is concerned it occurs to us

But there symptom in the original rebuff
of the house which we hailed somewhat solacing,
indicating as it did, that the lawmakers were of a
mind to return to their legislative and au-
thoritative vestments and exercise little of their
own constitutional control over governmental mat
tiers.
We suppose, however, that diagnosis was
wrong.
Manifestly, the house still prefers to cling tena-
ciously to the presidents apron string-Charlotte

NEA Service Stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON. - Washington
newspaper correspondents have
acted to repudiate those of their
number who have been selling So
called confidential information,
not for publication.
This action has been taken for
Self-protection. 1t is aimed at
columniStS and other writers who
supply to editors and others, pri-
vate, unpublished gossip or tip
services, purporting to give the
real low-down on Washington Off
Gals and their activities.
A large COB of sensational mis-
information has been spread
around the country in this manner,
and it was a lurid tale about an
imaginary incident concerning the
Presidents health which finally
caused both the White House Cor
respondents Association and the
National Press CluL, to take action.
The Correspondents Association
executive committee, authorized
by the White House to pass on
eligibility of those seeking to at
tend President Roosevelts press
conferences, has voted to require
all applicants for membership to
certify that they are not engaged
for profit, directly or indirectly,
in; dissemination of confidential in
formation. 1t also has promulgat-
ed the rule that: persons repre-
senting news agencies dissemi-
mating of so-called confidential in
formation for profit, direct or in
direct, shall not be entitled to
membership in the White House

gator TO the commission of an OIL
Tense" An accessory after rhc
fact is zone who, knowing that a
crime has been committed. aiG=.
assists or shelters the offender
with the intent to defeat Justice.
For instance: Suppose someone
should come to you and declare
he was going to kill So-and-So
and ask you to lend him your gun
for the purpose. Should you do 50,
and should he shoot So-and-So,
you would be an accessory before
the fact. On the other hand sup
pose someone should come to you
and confidc that he had commit
ted a murder and ask you to hide
him. Should you do so you would
be an accessory after the fact.
An accessory before the fact is
liable to have to stand trial as
one of the principals in the COM
mission of the crime, whereas
an accessory after the fact is not
regarded as one of the principals
in the commission of the crime,
though his offensc is serious
one and subject to criminal pros
ccution.

how industriously and indcccntly
some criminal lawyers work to aid

Correspondents who write only
news which they expect to be

that tipsters were peddling fabri-

near that the correspondents were
asleep, or else were Suppressing

cent revelations have had the
newsmen debating heatedly among
themselves as to the best way Of
meeting the situation.
