The jefferson Memorial.

In deciding upon a location for the
Thomas Jefferson Memorial on the south
shore Of the Tidal Basin, the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
and Commission Of Fine Arts have, it Is
hoped, brought to happy end the long
controversy over this monument to a
great President and cleared the way for
the addition to the beauties Of the Ma
tional Capital of another magnificent
structure.
A more beautiful spot for a memorial
would be difficult to find. The cleaning
stone Of the structure and its surround
ing broad stairs will rise out Of the
waters OF the Tidal Basin and be re-
fiected in them. In the spring the lines
Of the Japanese cherry blossoms will sweep
away in curves from either side OF the
memorial.
Original plans called for highly for
malized treatment OF the surroundings
Of the memorial. which would have been
placed in the area Of the Tidal Basin
itself. The water surface would have
been cut up by nlled areas into formal
rejecting pools. Many Of the cherry
trees would have been sacrificed.
The modified plan involves far less
formal and, incidentally, less costly
landscaping. Happily, it will result in
more, rather than fewer, cherry blossoms,
according to the architects. Moreover,
a slight realignment of the Highway
Bridge approach, with division of this
part Of the roadway into two broad lanes,
is expected to improve the flow Of trafic.
Apparently, happy solution has been
found to an involved problem and new
and worthwhile project soon may be
started as belated tribute to one of the
great builders Of the Nation.

In the Race.
My Uncle Jim's . statesman bold,
Though on election day
He's always left out in the cold
They never vote his way.
So many men oblivion f1nd
In oficeholding life!
My Uncle Jim is not that kind,
He's always in the strife.
He's not a meteor rushing swift
To vanish in the air;
Wiener the country needs a lift
My Uncle Jim's right there.
He's not like those whom people know
A while and then forget.
He started running years ago
And he is running yet.

Anent the California
Ralst0n Amendment.
Ia tia RdiAa


A SIDE from party contests in the COM
Ing November elections it is prob
able that no single measure to be voted
upon will exceed in popular interest or
Importance the Ralston amendment in
california, prepared by the Henry
george tax men Of that State, and re-
Gently qualified by the California State
supreme Court to be voted upon at that
time. '''
Ihis amendment to the State consti-
tuition does not provide the single tax.
but, like the Pittsburgh plan in Pennsyl-
Vanla, registers long step in that direc-
tlon. Under its provisions, the tax upon
ground rent Is to be increased from
a limit of Is per cent to approximate
~ oO per cent. All taxes on the prod
ucts OF labor and industry, whether
calleo improvements or tangible personal
properly, are gradually eliminated during
period OF nine years, following the
method Of the Pittsburgh plan. The
amendment repeals the Retail Sales Tax
Act. II repeals the companion act, the
use lax Act These two taxes now pro-
ouce some $lOO, 100000 in revenue. The
HalSton amendment Is the result of
many years Of effort of California men
ana supported by contributions from
slngle-taxers elsewhere. who regard this
amendment as an entering wedge for
their philosophy which will make easy
acceptance Of 1t thereafter.

MANY thanks from q reader and lis

OF Europe? Or will she be devoured by

ANTI THRUST INQUIRY

of physicians to prevent qualified
doctors from carrying OH their
calling and to prevent members
Of CHA from selecting physici-
ans of their own choice
"Thc department intcrprctS
the law as prohibiting combina-
tons which prevent others from
competing for services a well as
goods" the statement said. "Thc
particular persons responsible" for
this violation can only be asccr-
tanned by Il grand jury invcstiga-
ton. Such an investigation will
be undertaken by the department
n the near future"
The departments action came
four days after Federal District
Judge Jennings Bailey ruled the
CHA is Il legitimate arrangement
between a group Of government
employees and group Of physicians
and does not constitute violation
of medical or insurance statutes.
"Thc analogy to which this pro-
cccding should be compared *
that Of Il prosecution for reckless
driving. committed by Il person Of
distinction and goodwill who is
in hurry TO meet his legitimate
engagements" the department
said.
"Thc absence Of moral turpi-
tude, however, does not lessen the
duty Of the department to prose-
cute where it believes violations
Of the antitrust laws have occur
red.
CAS- already announced,
therefore, where evidence Of VIC
latiOnS Of the antitrust laws cX-
lists, it (the Department. has no
alternative except to proceed be-
fore a grand jury, except in those
cases where past acquieScrncc on
other special considerations have
made Il criminal proceeding in
equitable"
The statement emphasized that
an Indictment for violation Of the
antitrust laws necessarily does
not imply moral turpitude. II
added that thus in the present
case the department does not take
the view that the offenScS COM
mitted are crimes which reflect
upon the character or high-stand-
ing Of the persons who may be
involved"
1t said that while the suit pri-
marily involved Washington, it
was selected because its "impOrt-
ance is nationwide and its valu"
as a precedent is Of far reaching
consequence on one of our most
pressing problems"

CONSTITUTIONAL

Is II less necessary IN govern

future without rules? Can we
build our house upon sand? Can
We feel happy and secure in such
q house?
This has become a question Of
very great consequence. Despite
all talk at Washington of new
moral climate" it can be demon
strated that on the part of inn
portant officials there has sell
dom, if ever. been such Il callouS
attitude toward constitutional
morality. toward the rules which
we have adopted to regulate our
living together.
This attitude is a complete re-

"a mere thing of wax" ITO take
a single step beyond the bound
aries" that separated the func,
tons of the nation from the
states, or the functions of the
executive, the legislative and the
judiciary was to do something alb
horrent and base. "With sincere
zeal" he wished "an inviolabi,
