There's no compulsion about 1t, OF
law, either way. Take it or leave it.
Others say, more frankly, that their
advertisers who don't like or can't
stand competition object to such
broadcasts. In other words, the com
petitors want, and have obtained, a
monopoly of radio advertising. This,
they contend, is the American way"
Common Sense, national liberal
monthly, declared In it's November

1.-THE two great radio chains have
raised technical objections OF the car

OF a planned series of nationwide
broadcasts ON the cooperative move
ment paid for by members of coop
eratives. Controversy is permitted,
of course-but only within the limits
of what is considered safe There
is plenty of that kind of controversy
in the totalitarian states"
Consumers from IL states, many
among them who had contributed to
the coop radio fund, meeting at the
Hotel Edison in New York October
"a and 25, for the annual meeting of
the Eastern Cooperative League,
heard a full report on the radio situa-

Campbell, assistant secretary of The
Cooperative League of the USA., The
body then adopted unanimously res

part of Senator Norris to ask for a
full investigation of the big radio COM
panies in refusing to sell time to the
co-ops.
The Peoples Cooperative Society,
meeting in Superior, Wisconsin Octo-

branded that action as rank discrim- |

dangerous precedent" which must not

NORRIS ON GLASS

Norris, submitting the majority re-
port Of the committee, found that the
imposition of the poll tax on the fran
chise was an illegal means of ode
priving thousands of citizens of the
privilege of participating in govern
mental affairs by denying them a fun
damental right = the right to vote"
The report sustained the constitutions
atty of het legislation to abolish the
poll tax.
In proving the illegality of the levy
on the ballot, the Norris report cited
as evidence the declaration of Sen
Carter Glass at the Virginia constitu-
tional convention which imposed the
tax:
I'VE were sent here to make dis
tinctions. We expect to make dis
tinctions. We will make distinctions"
