Districts Legislation
Outmoded, Says Bor Head; /;
Backs Suffrage Move

Liberalization of District laws for
organization Of corporations would
bring here approximately $1,000, 900
in annual revenues now contributed
to other States, Francis w. Hill,
jr., said last night in his first speech
as president of the District Bar
Association at meeting of that or
ganization.
The Districts corporation laws
are outmoded, he asserted. and
1880 corporations of the $4,000
engaged in business in the District
of Columbia pay franchise taxes
and resident agents fees to other
States, chiefly Maryland, Virginia
and Delaware.
IF our corporation laws were
modernized," he said, "this entire
sum would be collected by the
District without taking one addi-
tional penny from those engaged in
business here. Taxes would be low.
cred by the sum of 100000 or
needed improvements could be made
without additional burden"
Mr.. Hill said in the past he had
"felt lukewarm" about District suf-
frage. However, "if it is necessary
to have representation in Congress
in order to have a local man ap-
pointed to our bench, if it is neces-
sary to have representation in Con-
gress in order to have our corpora
ton law modernized, then in
heavens name let's support the
movement for suffrage"
Mr.. Hill announced also to the
Mayflower audience a new COM
mittee had been appointed to work
with the District courts in studying
the cause for long delays before
cases are called for hearing.

Well, the humidity would, but some

MINIMUM WAGE
LAWS DEFENDED

Columbus, O. (OLNS).-Minimum
wage laws do not cause women to lose
jobs to any great extent nor do mini
mum wages fixed by law become the
maximum, Miss Mary Anderson, Di-
rector of the Women's Bureau, U. S.
Department of Labor, declared in ad
dressing a statewide conference in
Columbus sponsored by the Ohio Con-
sumers' League.
Miss Anderson stated that more
than one million women are protected
by minimum wage laws in various
states. She cited experience of Ohio
to prove the efficiency of minimum
wage legislation in raising the stand
ard of pay for women workers in the
dry cleaning industry.

THE PRICE OF LIBERTY

A short time ago Joseph Stain,
dictator Of Communist Russia. was
reelected to bis seat on the Moscow
municipal soviet. His majority was
exactly 100 per cent--every vote
was cast for him. According to the
press dispatch telling of this, it was
obvious that the most strenuous
methods were used by officials to
get out the largest possible vote.
Those who have watched the
technique Of dictatorship can Judge
what those methods were--you sup
port the man in the saddle "or-
eIse." And this little event, while
it didn't make the headliaes, is a
biting commentary on what hap
peas when the people surrender
their rights and liberties to IRON
clad political rule. No one attempts
to win over the opposition by argu-
ment, as in . democratic nation
after all. machine guns. exile and
brutal persecution are temporarily
more effective instruments for keep
ing in power. The man who raises
his voice in Dissent gets short shrift
indeed.
Here in America we pride our.
selves on the fact that we msy still
speak our minds--that no man is
master of our destinies. That the
forces of dictatorship have been
kept firmly in leash. But pride ia
this is not enough. 1t cannot too
often Re repeated that the price Of
Liberty is eternal vigilence at
home. We can unconsciously sur
render rights until one day we a.
wake to realize, tho late. that liberty
is gone.
America watches events abroad
with wonder and horror. Let
America also learn from them.

the "H0ME-T0WN" PAPER

BE it ever so humble. there's no
place like Home and no home is
complete without a copy of Your
Hometown Newspaper"
When the world throbs with news of
famines and floods.
And the blood of mans war stains
the sea.
When tragedies shadow the joy and
the love
In the hearts Of the happy and
free.
And you pick up the paper that just
came today
The boast of your Home Town
press,
Then just for time you forget all
the pain
Of turbulent world in distress.
The headlines aren't shouting of
murders and war,
OF human lives uselessly spent
But instead it just writes OF the peo-
pie you know
OF a wedding or blessed event!
Mrs. A. entertained for her bridge
club last week;
Mr.. B. just returned from the West,
Mrs. NJ. won the prize at the Flower
Clubs show
Her roses were biggest and best.
Tho it writes often, too, of a sorro
or death:
OF someone left sadly alone,
You feel that that heartache will
surely be soothed
by kindness and sympathy shown.
Then you're sure that as long as
such stories exist
For your Home Town paper to tell
That no matter how bitter the world
may become
That all. in the end, will be we'll.
