KEEP OUT OF
EUROPEAN WAR
(By c. Hartley Grattan, "NO More
Excursions!" in Harper's Magazine
for ApriD

In every great crisis there are in
tellectual leaders who choose to go
down the chute to war with a whoop
and YELL Let them go! Look at the
wreckage which strewed the world
after the World War: gutted per-
sonalities, pale simulacra of once
great men, vast regulations ire
trievably tarnished, traitors all to
their calling. This is no time to imi-
tate the familiar story. 1t is rather
the time to take the aggressive
against the men, emotions, opinions,
drives which are pushing this country
toward the charnel house once more.
1t is the exact moment to reaffirm the
simple dogma:
No American shall ever again be
sent to fight and die on the continent
of Europe.

Neither does it follow that paving
contractors
Should wait on some M. G. to get
action on Washington streets
Determining what the city govern
ment can do
That is legislation for the city's
business
Deciding how the city government
is TO be administered
Is proper subject for legislative
action
But doing those things, carrying
out the program
Administration of the city's munich
pal affairs
That ought not to have float around
on some congressional whim-
No, it is not entirely the problem
of the colored vote, either
For in 1880 the negro population
was only 27.3 per cent of the whole
Suppose the negroes did elect an
alderman
They are doing a large part of the
necessary work
They have to pay corresponding
part of the taxes
They have some very capable rep
resentatives--
In business, professional, scientific
circles as we'll
But they are probably the best fit
ted of any city's negro population
But that is not the real reason for
this anachronism-
y Il
1t cannot be the mere transient
character of public employees
There are upwards of 100000 people
living in Washington
A large section of these maintain
their voting rights elsewhere
Because that gives them political
toe-hold on their jobs

PENNSYLVANIA DOCTORS
OFFER LOW-COST SERVICE

Harrisburg, Pa. (ILNS).-Bills to
provide medical attention for low in
come groups have been introduced by
three doctors who are members of the
state House of Representatives. All
are approved by the Pennsylvania
State Medical Society.
The medical service, to cost about
So month, is rather strictly limited;
and is wound about with a good deal
of red tape. But it is just one more
evidence of the rising demand of the
poor for decent medical care.

Truths POndered While

''Then gently scan
your brother man"
BY Mr.. M0destus-

Why?
What do they get out of it?
What interest have these members
of Congress
In keeping the citizens of the Dis
trict of Columbia hog-tied?
Why should Congress refuse to take
any interest
In self-government for the City of
Washington?
Why should this city,, at the heart
of the federal government
Be allowed to become crime-ridden,
dangerous to live in?
While the people have to wait for a
congressional committee
To pass an ordinance letting them
dig a sewer ditch?
The Constitution?
Yes, it provides that Congress shall
legislate for the District
Very much as every state legis-
lature has to legislate for cities
But that does rot mean that some
back-woods congressman
Ought to pass on the qualifications
of Washington policemen
We had one nice mess of that sort
a few years ago

LABOR, BAR ASSN
JOIN I'm WAR ON
POLITICAL JUDGES
New Plan Result OF Conference Be-
tween Committees Representing
Federation And Bar Assn.

Chicago, III. (ILNS).-The Chicago
Federation of Labor and the Chicago
Bar Association have declared war on
political judges. A new method OF
selecting Chicago's 81 nunicipai
Judges which would eliminate their
election or reelection on q coalition
basis by adoption of a new non-po-
litical plan has been approved unanl-
mously by the Chicago Federation OF
Labor; and approval of the plan by its
members has been recommended by
the board of managers OF the bar as
sociation.
The new plan is the result OF con-
ferences between committees repre-
senting the federation and the bar as
sociation and is to be embodied IN a
bill to be introduced in the state legls-
| lature in the near future.
Bill Progressive Step
The proposed bill represents great
advance over the present method OF
choosing judges.
The bar associations board OF man.
ayers previously had recommended
the appointment of judges in the first
instance to take the judgeships out OF
politics. To this, the federation's
committee was sunalterably opposed"
Under the plan which won the ap-
proval of the federation and the board
of managers of the bar association,
the chief justice and associate judges
of the municipal court would first be
elected on a non-partisan ballot.
Twice as many candidates as there
are judges to be elected would be
nominated at the April primary in
every even-numbered year and filing
Of petition signed by not less than
5000 legal voters would qualify a
candidate for a place on the ballot.
No Party Designations
Judges would be chosen from among
those nominated at the primary and
ballots at both the nominating and fl
nal elections would be without party
designation. Judges so chosen would
serve four years and at the end of
that time and thereafter at six-year
intervals as long as they remain on
the bench would stand for reelection,
without opposition, but on their rec
ords. Those failing to win majority
would be retired and if the majority
vote against them was less than rs
per cent they would be retained. Places
of judges failing to win approval
would be filled by appointments by the
mayor but no appointee would serve
more than two years.

Almost three and one-half million
men, women and children have died
of tuberculosis in the United States
during the last 80 years. An addi-
tional two and one-half million would
have died during that time if the NOR
tality rate of 80 years ago had con-
tinued to prevail.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1939-03-31

About one-fourth Of these are me-
groes, male and female
But the number of voters in Vir-
ginia in 1886 was $4,000
They have to pay a poll-tax in Vir-
ginia in order to vote
Probably southern congressman
would want to follow practice
Giving Washington citizens a poll
tax right to vote, if any.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1939-03-31

Naturally, the ones who would vote
would be those
Who are really local residents, with
local interests at heart
Who do not have, nor desire, any
other political home
Much Washington property is
owned by non-residents-
Much Of even resident property is
owned by corporations
Perhaps these would prefer to have
Congress run the show

Saving the expense of city govern

But Congress saddles the expense
on them anyway
Of course, Washington is pretty far
south
And in the South, cutting people

One way or another, is quite fa-

OWSLEY BUILDING NEEDS
COMPETENT ENGINEER

Discussion at the last meeting of
the Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council brought forth bitter con-
demnation of the Owsley Realty
Company, Fred Grandpre and the
First National Bank as owners OF
the Owsley building, for their con-
tinued resistance to the reasonable
and precautionary request of the
Engineers Union and organized labor
of Butte to have an engineer placed
in the Owsley building to take care
of the heating equipment.
In the talks about this matter il
was brought out by persons who
have followed the occupation OF
boilers, heating equipment, ETC., that
as long as heating of this building
was unattended, it presented a
menace to the lives of every occu-
pant in it. 1t was brought out there
are several hundred children in the
upper floor Of this building going to
the Butte Business College and the
attitude of Fred Grandpre as agent
and of the Owsley Realty Company
is nothing short of criminal in re-
fusing to hire competent engineer
to see that every thing is safe.
The tenants of the building and
also the employees of the merchants
occupying space in this building
should Immediately impress Mr.
Grandpre with the need of an engi-
neer. The unions may be compelled
to take this matter up before the
proper regularity authorities of the
state in order to compel Mr.. Grand
pre- to have proper safeguards
thrown around the men and women
occupying the building and the hun
dreds of children on the top floor

from Drummond took occasion to
advertise and informed his listeners
that he could put twenty-five
pounds on his mattresses and offered
to prove that the mattresses wore
silk stockings and better clothing
than the average woman on $50 per
month. His complaint was that
some truck driver would marry the
mattresses just when he had them
trained but he did not propose any
legislation prohibiting this practice.
On the whole there were no argu-
ments advanced by the opponents
that were not used against the eight
hour amendment and inasmuch as
the people of the state discarded
those arguments, the legislature
should not be influenced by them
now.
The hearing was productive OF
some "wise cracks" and one specta-
tor was heard to say that after see
ing Ray Rhule smirking at Hoover
during the course of the latters adj
dress, 81 will never look at a roast
sucking pig at Christmas time with
out feeling like a cannibal."

Resolution Adopted
By Ladies Auxiliary
OF Butte Mine Union

WHEREAS, one Phil Goodwin,
representative in the legislature
from Silver Bow county, did intro
duce motion on the floor of the
House of Representatives in Helena,
providing that no married woman
with an employed husband or other
member of the family employed
should be hired by the state legisla-
ture during the present session, and:
WHEREAS, said Phil Goodwin
inconsistency allowed a number of
married women, with husbands en-
ployed at good salaries, to be
appointed by the House to various
positions in the employ of said
House of Representatives without
protest on his part, and:
WHEREAS, said Phil Goodwin did
single out but one married woman,
Margaret Patterson, one of our
members, whose appointment he
opposed solely because of her politi-
cal activity in behalf of Labor
groups in Silver Bow county, and:
WHEREAS, such discrimination is
both un-American and undemo-
cratic, Therefore:
BE 1T RESOLVED, that Ladies
Auxiliary No. 7, of Butte Miners
Union No. |, does hereby most
strenuously oppose and condemn
this action on the part of said Phil
Goodwin, because he takes personal
animosities and petty political parti-
sanship to the floor of our House of
Representatives, thereby misrepre-
senting his constituents in Silver
Bow county and wasting the time of
said House, and:
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED
that copy of this resolution be sent
to the speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives, the employment COM
mittee of said House and to Phil
Goodwin, himself.
