n POWER TO TAX

As the Supreme Courts five TO four
division suggests, there we're conflict
ina issues involved in the question
whether communities have the right to
impose q license fee upon the dIstrIbu-
ton of religious literature.
Opelikn, Ala, charged q S. fee
from transient book agents. Fort
Smith, Ark, voted q peddIer's license
of $3.50 q day. $40 q week or SIS q
month. Case Gronde, Ariz., charged
transient merchants SIS quarterly as
a license fee.
Jehovoh's Witnesses, q minority
sect which has been q frequent source
of strife throughout the country, dis
tributed religious literature and osk-
ed contributions in return. The Wit
nesses we're required to pay the ped
dIers' fees. They went to court. Five
justices ruled thot the fees we're con-
stitutionoI, while four dissented strong
Iy.
The language Of the m q ority
opinion, written by Justice Reed, is
startling in its apparent c~ontrovention
Of constitutional guarantees Of free
dom Of speech and of religion, which,
the analysis holds, ore not absolute but
subject to obrideement.
We doubt whether Justice Reed
and his four associates meant what
they appeared to mean. The unfortu-
note thing is that men SO highly pIoc-
ed, presumed to be so meticuIous in
their selection of words, should have
used phrases capable Of double mean
ing, which may arise for generations
to plague both the court and DEM
Nrocy in general.
UnquestionobIy communities have
ne right to license peddIers, just as
they can tax merchants with stores.
There can be no question Of the
localities right to control gatherings
which impede the general c~itizenry in
its normal activities, to forbid insoni-
tory and unsiehtIy Iittering Of the
streets, to prevent persons Of one per-
suosion from forcing their opinions
upon others who do not want to listen.
The very bosis Of civilization rests
upon the thesis that the privileges of
any individual are subordinate to the
rights Of the community as q whole.
Any other thesis would be anarchy.
The community con not tell on in
dividuol in what God he shall have
foith, or what he shall believe about
that God. We doubt whether the COM
munity could tax q seller of secular lit
eroture SIS O year and one of reli-
sious literature SIS O doy. Thot would
be using the power to tax os q means
tions.
But oil the Supreme Court really
sold was thot, SO for os the Constitu-
tiontion is concerned, religious orders,
minority or majority, must be subject
to the some general rules for orderly
conduct thot apply to other groups.
With this, there can hardly be
much disagreement.

Midway. And citizens who have sup
ported their highest concepts Of free
dom and justice with proyerful thought
and earnest effort have O right to q
need Of encouragement from the good
news. Yet it should evoke neither vain
glory nor VeneefuI e~lotion, but humble
gratitude and renewed resolve. For
much more will be required to win the
war and the peace.
MonifestIy the Japanese were at
tempting to seize Midway Island. They
attacked in force-With plane carriers,
bottIeshiPs, cruisers and transports.
The Navy reports several ships Of each
type damaged and two or three carriers
sunk. This appears to be the hardest
blow yet struck at Jopon's navy, and
combined With that in the Coral Sea,
should cut its strength materially. 1t
is clearly an important victory, q de-
fensive victory which may open the
WOT ~ OIISI'SlNG CpCIEtlOIS.
Jopon's loss in aircraft carriers has
especial meaning, for it greatly limits
Jopon's offensive power. These ships
have speorheoded Japanese successes
all the way from Pearl Hrbor to CeyIon.
If their number has been reduced by
half, the problem of defending Allied
bases and supply lines has been i'm
meosurobIy simpIified. Admiral Kings
statement indicates that the action
would have been even more destruc-
tive had it been possible to concentrate
at Midway American forces on guard
elsewhere.
But as it was, American commando
ers, advised by submarine scouts that
the enemy was not moving in force to
the south, anticipated an attack in the
north. Armed by foresight or insight,
the garrison on Midway seems to have
not merely avoided being surprised but
to have surprised the Japanese.
On Tokyo's part there was stupidity
or desperation. For all experience in
this Wor teaches the risks Of sendinq
ships against Iond-bosed planes. The
Japanese could hardly expect to score
q second surprise in HE Hawaii area,
and they knew it was heavily defend
ed. Pride-seekine to answer the Doc
little raid on Jopon-or some other
weakness Of evil purpose seems to have
dictated this venture.
Admiral King does we'll to war;
against cosy assumptions that the Am ,
ericon fleet can now sail into Yoko-
hama Horbor. AT most, protection Of
boses and supply lines should be easier
and the beginnings Of offensive action,
particularly by air, should be nearer as
q result Of this battle.
The position today goes far to JUS
tify the directors Of American strategy :
who chose the unspectocuIor and un- c
popular course Of building up forces +
and bosses before attacking. Consider t
ing the position facing them otter 6
Pearl Horbor and the destruction Of S
air forces in the Philippines, t
record is good. But when the United i
Stotes takes the offensive, particularly
in any effort to roll back the japanese :
from the islands Of the Southwest Po-
cific, it foces the same factor which
vas SC costly to the enemy at Midway :
.Iond-bosed air power.
Indeed, this bottle should be meas y
Ired not only against q background Of G
tx months of defect and retreat in the F
Pacific, but Of current japanese Sue G

Physical Tests Rushed
For Hiqh School Bows

Every Washington high school
boy of 18 years or over is being
examined by school medical in
spectors for physical defects which
can be corrected by the high school
physical education program, Physi-
cal Education Director Hardy
Pearce said today.
No girls or boys younger than
18 have yet been, examined, he
said, as doctors are rushing to COM
plete examination of those boys
who will be made eligible for mill
tary service by the pending teen
age draft bill. About half the boys
have been examined so far.
Though no formal report has vet
been made to him, Mr.. -'earce said.
informal reports indicate the health
of most of the boys is satisfactory.
Special exercises are being planned
for those whose posture or gen.
eral physical condition needs i'm
provement, he said. All high school
students are going through
greatly expanded program of five
periods week Of physical educa-
ton this year, Mr. Pearce added.
With five new medical inspectors
to speed the examinations, he said,
the department hopes to have all
the boys examined and corrective
programs instituted within the next
few weeks.
