Southern Revolt Threatens
Over Soldiers Absentee Vote
BY GEORGE ROCKWELL BROWN
Special to THE DETROIT TINES


TIE Soldier vote" bill which
L Congress gulped down the
other day-because Congress
stands more in awe of the sol
der vote than it does of the
Constitution of the United States
may yet precipitate the most
direct flouting of federal author
ity by the states since recon-
struction.
This act Of the Congress, au-
thorized absentee voting in the
November elections by men and
women of the armed forces in
continental United States, con-
tains a provision which is in vio-
lation of the Constitution, under
which is recognized the right of
the states to determine the quail
ifications of electors for senator's
and representatives.
In order to cater TO the soldier
vote, on the eve Of the congress

into the soldier vote" bill pro-
vision authorizing them to vote
by absentee ballot. notwith-
standing any state law 10 the
contrary.

Scrap Metal Collection Week

the homes, on the farms and in industrial
plants.
THE American people have always
i been great MASTERS Of scrap metals,
as of other things now essential to the
war.
That is because replacement of old
things with new things has always been
easy and cheap.
But many things formerly done easily
and cheaply in this country have been
made difficult or impossible by the war.
And one of these things is the pro-
duction of metals in sufficient quantities to
conduct and win the war Many metals,
of domestic origin, cannot be produced fast
foreign origin, are not available in new
quantities at all.
So we are confronted by the necessity
nd compulsion, in large degree, of getting
long with what we have.
This raises the necessity and problem
f salvage, in which the American people
as a whole have the key job.
7 EFT the people be told first what the
l. real and dire necessity is in the
matter.
Let the people be told how they can
function most effectively, and let them be
given an orderly organization of assembly
and collection.
With these facilities of information and
direction, there will be no further lag in
public response, and in whatever degree
scrap metal salvage and collection can
alleviate the present situation it will be
DONE.
The newspapers of America have
undertaken task of great responsibility
They are expected to perform it with
satisfaction and distinction, and will un-
questionably meet that expectation.

Business Baiters Unmasked'

the net income AFTER TAXES for the
first half of this year was So PER CENT
BELOW THAT OF LAST YEAR.
On the other hand, the earnings of
the same companies BEFORE TAXES
were UP Is PER CENT, but larger
reserves for federal income and excess
profit taxes during the same period ate
up all this gain and much more, being UP
6S PER CENT.
D BUSINESSMEN, in handling war orders,
l. in planning postwar plant readjust-
ment, and in distributing dividends to
stockholders. are governed by the realities.
They cannot operate great enterprises
on ballyhoo and on fake statistics.
And yet men who know better lend
themselves to the campaign of confusion.
Likewise, in national affairs, they use
vague and unreliable national income
estimates as though they were actual
funds in the bank on which the people can
draw.
Such statistical mirages tend to weaken
the people at time when they need their
full strength in order to hasten victory in
this war against the nefarious Axis.

Deal poll tax states-Alabama,
Georgia, Mississippi. South Car
DINA. Texas, Arkansas. Tennes-
see and Virginia - will enforce
the state law at the November
elections and defy the federal
law.
One conservative representa-
tive in Congress. from one of the
most conservative of this group
OF eight states, has advised the
election judges in his congress
sional district TO enforce the
state law and pay no heed To
the federal statute.
Whether all of them will
recommend to their local cleo
ton judges that the state law
be enforced has not yet been
determined. But some OF them
will.
That would be pretty kettle
of fish, for il would reveal that
certain staiwart Democratic
southern states were defylng a
federal statute.
In states where the state at
torneys general hold that state
law must be enforced, il is prob
able there will be widespread
defiance of the soldier vote law
insofar as il concerns those at
tempting to vote who have not
complied with the requirements
of state law.
OF course. the soldier or sail
orette, deprived of a vote for
failure TO register or pay poll
tax, would have recourse to the
courts-but a lot Of good that
would do!
Politically. the repercussiors
may be startling. This invasion
Of the states might blow the lid
off Dixie. A lot OF southern con-
servatives in the Democratic
Party are fed up to the eye
brows already with the New
Deal
This might be the added extra
too much.

E>IGHT southern Democratic
AZ New Deal states have poll
tax laws which require the pay

specified dates prior to the cleo

Under these laws it is as
serted that thousands of Negro

- as differentiated from the

forms of the New Deal

NEWSPAPERS of the United States
~ have been asked by the federal
government. and have agreed. to conduct
a nationwide scrap metal collection drive
from September IS to October II.
This is patriotic task the newspapers
are glad to perform, and should perform
with great success.
Newspapers are read by virtually all
the people
They render invaluable and indis-
pensable services TO the people.
And there is no doubt whatever that
it they emphasize the urgent need for scrap
metal collection and provide adequate
facilities for response and cooperation, the
result will be in proportion to the hopes
of the government and the needs of the
country.
DREv1oUS and present efforts at SCRAP
/ metal collection have failed to NEE
expectations and needs, but not because OF
public apathy or unwillingness to co
operate.
They have failed because of confusion
and misdirection and lack of orderly or
ganization.
This is not a breakdown of public
enterprise. but of public information.
And, of course there is no better
agency in the country for giving the
American people adequate information
than the press.
Accordingly, the federal government is
utilizing great national asset in employ
ing and relying upon the press for infor-
nation and direction in this vital matter.
Certainly the press will accept its
urgent duty in this respect and perform
it efficiently and successfully.
Scrap metal is unquestionably to be
found in vast quantities throughout the
United States.
Great quantities are lying unused in

keeping themselves in shape.
No matter who went shopping for it this

fighting it right up to the handle.
We may not be a military nation but we
sure can kick up sand when we get going
It's a young folks war and il looks like

A This critical and perllous time IN
a the nations history, the American
people are strengthened by the truth
and are weakened by demagogic miscon-
ceptions.
Though it may be difficult to impart
a sense of responsibility to free-lance
agitators and business baiters, certainly
men in high executive posts at Washing
ton should set an example in their utter
ances.
Leon Henderson, who occupies the
pivotal post of price administrator, rem
dered disservice to the nation when in
the course of his recent address in New
York before the sales executives club he
gave circulation to the demagogic state
ment that wartime business profits are up
400 per cent.
In the first place, the official statistics
Of current and recent earnings of all
corporations have not yet been announced
by the Internal Revenue Bureau.
Only the earnings of selected corpo-
rations are known.
Secondly the business baiters are
using fantastic percentage figures for the
purpose of deception.
WHEN they speak of profits" they
w mean met earnings before taxes
ignoring the main point that rising taxes
have been more than absorbing any in
crease in corporate income. The significant
figure is NET CORPORATE INCOME
AFTER TAXES, for from that residue
must come dividends, if any, and also
corporate savings.
The profit figure BEFORE TAXES
is meaningless and is computed for the
purpose Of deceiving the public.
1t would be no more senseless to cir
culate figure on corporate profits before
wages or before any other element of cost.
The truth about corporate earnings is
the very antithesis of what the demagogic
statistics indicate.
For example, the National City Bank
of New York, in Analysing the earnings
during the first half of 1912 of 125 of the
largest makers Of armament, found that
