Mooney In declining to review the decisions of the California state courts which con- | victed Mooney g years ago and have kept him in prison ever since the Federal court does not of course, examine the merits of this case which has become a cause ceebre of international public inter- est In effect it this is matter for California to decide
 Friends of justice the world over will hope, there fore that California will take the hint and do justice, albeit belatedly Apparently the only way left for Mooney is through gubernatorial pardon.
 Ii is now more than eight years since President Hoover's Wickersham commission presented the facts which in the view of most observers proved that the California labor leader unfairly convicted for participation in the 1916 Preparedness Day bombing That Mooney the victim of perjured testimony, that his conviction obtained in an atmosphere of hysteria. is well established The trial judge several of the jurors who then held him guilty and of the witnesses who testified against him. have since expressed their opinion that Moneys trial miscarriage of justice.

It Leaves Us Up in the Air
Philadelphia Record)

(Phlladelphla Record
 Some months ago, when the balloon defense of London first begun expressed deep interest wondered just what such balloons could do In crisis
 Last Saturday the balloons-with long dangling cables to trap enemy planes-were given their first tryout Of course, there crisis, and no enemy planes to bother about. But the balloons hung up something of a record.
 Seven of the balloons broke away from their mcorings and each trailing about 4000 feet of steel wire scared the countryside, with the following results
 One balloon cable swept chimney pots and tiles eff houses in East London another uprooted a tree; another fouled electric railway and stalled service for half hour; another wrapped itself around a water tower, and the rest just floated for miles.
 The Ministry of Defense pronounced the eXperi- ment success
 From Paris however comes dispatch that the city fathers there have just rejected proposal to protect that city by similar batch of balloons It would be simpler observe the French officials, to just evacuate the city,
 Maybe it would be simpler still to just give every body a balloon?

And That's What Counted
(New York World -Telegram)

lNeW York WOrId-Telegram)
 The Russians have called Charles Lndbergh several kinds of liar and lot of other names because they heard he reported to have told some English men that the Soviet air force was gocd-thereby giving the British and the French an excuse for captuatng to Hitler in the Czechoslovakian crisis.
 Of course don't know whether he made that remark And we don't know whether the Soviet air force is is not the great big huge, gigantic terri flying, awe-nspiring armada which the Russians say it is. We can't know because the Russians have a practice of not letting any news get out of that try, except that news which Mir Staln wants people to read.
 But this much is obvious: Herr Hitler was aware of Russias alliance with Czechoslovakia. He knew about the Soviet propaganda for united front to save the world for democracy. He may may not have had private espionage reports on the Soviet lir power Anyhow when Der Fuehrer got ready to march on CzechoSovakia he didn't even bother to lind out what the Russians thought about it.

TAX RATE FOR OAKLAND TO
REMAIN 60 CENTS PER S100
Taxable Basis of Town Increased
S4S7,000 In Late Reassessment

That the city tax rate for Oakland
would remain at 60 cents per 500 of
assessable property, was announced
Tuesday morning following special
meeting of the Mayor and Town Coun-
Gil on Monday evening.
The assessable basis for the town is
slightly more than $1,987,000, and this
figure was taken from the county's S
assessment figure for real and per
sonal property under the recent new
assessment, which was completed a
few months ago. The present figure
shows an increase of more than $487,-
600, which will add approximately
$4,000 to the tax receipts during the
year, provided all taxes are collected,
"Had it not been for this increase" J."
J. Frank Browning, clerk, stated, ut
would have been necessary for the
Council to raise the tax rate to rs
cents"
Council also awarded the contract
for garbage collection and disposal to
Noah Tasker on a monthly basis at
$50 per month. Collections will be
made for a week or two on the sched-
ule that has prevailed throughout the

School Bus Transportation Now
A Million Dollar Business

School bus transportation in Mary
land has grown into a $1,OO0,OOO
business, according to the State De-
partment of Education.
Reporting on the 1867 school
year, DR.. Albert S. Cook, State Super
intendent of Schools, found that 52,25O
pupils were transported by the coun-
ties at cost of $1,O19,872. Most of
the increase has been since 1925 when
only 4,344 pupils were transported in
busses.
The expense of bus transportation
has been counterbalanced by the COM
bination of economy and improved
education brought about by the con-
solidation of schools, DR.. Cook stated
School consolidation which makes bus
transportation necessary brings a
lowered per pupil instruction cost, a
lower overhead for school operation
and maintenance, higher standard
of teaching and more hygenic sur
roundings for pupils, it was stated.
