Guarantees.
Just so with guarantees against
war.
A small war; like Paraguay's and
Bolivia's, in the Chaco, isn't so hard
to keep localized. t...,.-
/ When the disease is rampant, as in
the Orient and in Spain, and threaten
ing to spread all over, it is not so easy
to deal with.
Uninfected neigh5ors may warn the
belligerents, "You are quarantincd, "
and plaster yellow placards across in
ternational boundaries. Nevertheless
it takes shotgun patrols to compel re-
spect of these notices.
And the shotgun patrol automati-
cally signifies that the country behind
the yellow placards already has
caught the contagion.
On One Side-Or Other.
That is to say country which has
to fight to protect it's neutrality is
fighting, as much as if it were fight
ing on one side or the other.
For that matter, the said neutral
country is bound to be on the side Of
one or the other, whichever country it
is trying not to side with or against.
President Rooseelt recognizes this
fact absolutely.
He diagnosed the situation exactly
in his recent Chicago speech, opening
a new bridge between the north and
south sides of the Windy City.
Neutrality Law Fails.
Yet this question arises:
The President stated facts, but what
is he going to dc about them?
The neutrality law does not help
him much.
It is a bungling law. 1t does not au-
thorize the United States government
TO adopt truly neutral policy. It was
unsatisfactory to the genuine neutral
ity advocates. 1t was uns satisfactory to
the pseudo neutrality element. 1t sim
ply is a fizzle. It's design was to en-
able Uncle Sam to make money out
of foreign wars without engaging in
them 1t will not work, of course.
Program? None.

81 DIDN'T RAISE MY BOY TO BE
A STRIKER"

Some of the big newspapers have
followed up the plans through which
they determined in advance that
there would be political landslide
last November, and they have been
polling the public upon social, polit-
ical, economic and industrial ques-
lions including strikes. 1t sort Of
new census of thinking" worked out
on a large scale and with remarkable
accuracy.
When the CLIO began its sensa-
tional and ruthless attacks on indus
ries last January the public polls
showed that the nation was shocked
and disapproved Of sitdown strikes,
particularly in plants where liberal
wages and every favorable condition
of employment existed. On the broad
or and comprehensive question of the
attitude of the public it appears that
the great majority of the citizens are
in favor of labor unions. They favor
Government regulation of the unions
ON a record poll of 500 yes; while
they also believe S6%o that labor I'M
ions should be required to incorpor-
ate.
The census of thinking" shows
that 500 of the public believe in set
Ting differences in industrial dis
putes before strikes are called. 81
didn't raise my boy to be striker
suggests a title for song-hit, mas
much as Americans are undoubtedly
the peace-loving folks we have al
ways heard about when war threat
ened-even civil warfare in industry.

there is more local pride in the smaller
cities for the number of telephone
votes is usually greater in proportion
to the population than in the larger
ones. In several cases this has
reached the point where cities of
$4,000 residence telephones will make
more vote calls than cities of double
or triple that number of telephones.
Local interest naturally is always
vastly increased by the appearance of
native son or daughter on the pro-
gram. Bad weather also has been
found to stimulate the number of calls.
If the weather is good or some local
activity of major Importance is
planned, the number Of votes is sharply
reduced.
A striking instance of the respon-
siveness of listeners to Major Bowes'
program occurred last February
when Indianapolis was repeating as
the honor city. The Ohio River food
was at it's height and all available
plant men of the Indiana Bell Tele-
phone Company were concentrated in
the southern part Of the state. To
have set up and supervised the neces-
sary facilities for telephone voting
that evening would have been ex-
tremely difficult.
Informed of the situation, Major
Bowes showed his humanness by pay
ing tribute during the program to the
telephone men and women and to other
workers in the flood area. He especially
asked that no telephone votes be cast in
the honor city of Indianapolis. Instead
he requested that listeners in New
York City and vicinity come to his ass
sistance by casting heavy vote for
their favorites on the evenings pro-
gram. AS result the number of calls
placed to Murray Hill 8-9933 in New
York that night exceeded the average
of previous weeks by about TOO per
cent.

Have you ever used your telephone

broadcast program? If you have, it.
went to help build up the total of
2,939,000 telephone calls that have
been placed over Bell System wires
during the two years that Major Bowes
and his amateurs have been on the air.
The total telephone vote includes, of
course, both local calls originating and
recorded each week in New York and
the large number collected in the more
than 100 cities that so far have been
designated as "honor cities" Mail and
telegraph have also been used by many
listeners to register votes.
The local votes in New York City
are received over sixty lines from the
Murray Hill exchange and are handled
by thirty recorders. Another recorder
receives the reports from the honor
city over a long distance line especi-
ally reserved for the purpose. A
chief operator, supervisors and mes
sengers together with the recorders
and tabulators complete the organiza-
ton.
Somewhat similar arrangements are
made for the recording of listeners
votes in each weeks honor city.
Once the question of the number of
lines to be provided is settled, tempo
rary space for the recording equip
ment and personnel is obtained. A
vote recorder is provided for each line
and the number of lines varies from
twenty-five in the smaller cities to
200 in the largest.
The number of calls from the honor
cities has run as high as $1,000 in
indianapolis and 10000 in Birmingham
and Jacksonville.
In studying the telephone results Of
the various broadcasts, many evil
dences of the workings Of human ma
ture have come to light. Apparently

SENATE TURNS COURT BILL
DOWN

The U. S. Senate gave President
Roosevelt his worse defeat since he
has been in the Presidential chair,
when it turned thumbs down on his
Court Reorganization bill, voting by
20 to 20, on Thursday, to recommit
the measure to the Judiciory Com
mittee, which means its virtual
killing.
The shelving of the Presidents pro-
posal to reorganize the Supreme
Court climaxes what is described as
one of the greatest political strug-
giles since the fight over slavery.
The beginning of the conflict dates
back to Mr.. Roosevelt's first term
when Congress, at his request, passed
unprecedented emergency legislation
and the Supreme Court struck down
much of it.
President Roosevelt is not the first
Chief Executive to come to grips with
the Supreme Court.
Bitter strife ragged during Presi-
dents Grants administration when
the Supreme Court refused to declare
the "greenback" legal tender.
Heated debate ragged over the
Courts "Dred Scott" decision during
the Lincoln administration, and JEFF
ferson, too, was long at loggerheads
with the Court, so that President
Roosevelt is not the first Chief Elk
ecutive to take a fling at the august
body and run contrary to its rulings.

PIN-BALL MACHINE RELIEF TAX
Receipts Run Behind Expected Sum

Receipts Run Behind Expected Sum
From Licensed Chance Device
Returns from relief taxes on pin
ball machines and music boxes arous-
ed some doubt as to whether the
S35O,0OO contemplated by the Legis-
lature from these sources would be
realized.
In May and June the clerks of Cir
cult Courts in the counties and the
clerk of the Baltimore Court Of Com
mon Pleas report $174,282.76 col
iected from the pin-ball and music
oox license. The licenses are issued
May for one year.
Doubt was expressed that the IL
enses taken out from time to time
Jefore May 81, 1888, would be suffic-
emit to make up the quota set by the
legislature. Joseph O'C. McCusker,
chief Deputy State Comptroller, said
he new LENSES might make up the
difference.
The collections as of July 10, under
the relief taxes levied in the Legisla-
tive act which Governor Nice signed
on May 18, reached $582,S01.80.
The Legislature estimated the entire
tax program would bring in 5000,
600 annually.
The program includes the from
SO to $35 annual liense for pin-ball
per cent. tax on automobile titles, 81
charge for reregistration of motor
vehicle operators, a ten per cent. re-
cordation tax on documents, 27-16-
cent per gallon tax on beer, " cents
per gallon on whisky, one per cent
admission tax; ten per cent. cosme-
tic tax and one-half of one per cent
State income tax
The automobile title tax became
effective April 1. The reregistration
charge on motor vehicle operators,
the recordation tax and the pin-ball
and music-box tax became effective
May IS. The beer, whisky, admission
and cosmetic taxes began on June 1
under the new law, having been re-
enacted by the Legislature from a
previous tax program, the only
change being reduction of the
whisky tax from to IN cents per
gallon.
The State income tax on individuals
will not be payable until March15,
1888
The Legislature contemplated that
the reregistration of motor vehicle
operators would net 100000. A
total of 377,5OO additional operators
must get their new cards before this
quota is reached.

ADEQUATELY FINANCED CAN
GER INSTITUTION A REALITY

Amidst the strife and turmoil in
the labor and economic situation of
America, it is bit consoling to know
that $1O,000,000 has been received
by Yale University to be dedicated
to the study of cancer, which is said
to have increased 60 per cent since
1900.
The gift was made by Startling
w. Childs, whose wife recently died
Of cancer. The members of the uni
versity advisory board named by
the university to administer the
fund are outstanding in at least three
fields of intensive research pertaining
to cancer. One member is DR.. Rudolf
phi J. Anderson, OF Yale; another is
DR.. Ross G. Harrison, Yale biologist,
and the third is DR.. Peyton Rous,
OF the Rockefeller Institute.
Previous to the Childs gift, the
total resources behind the cancer
problem were less than $4,000, 900
according to an estimate made by
Fortune Magazine. The Childs gilt
will, therefore, not only stimulate
research, but it is hoped, will ade-
Quately finance the scientific pur-
suit OF a disease which Is now second
in destroying human life to a sue
esssful conclusion.
