|Capper Scores Denia
OF Ballots 10 D. T..
Thousands al Front
Senator Bids Committee
On Soldier Vote to View
Long Injustice Done Here

Thousands of American boys
fighting for democracy all over
the world will be denied a vote
in next years national election
because their homes are
in Washington, Senator Capper,
Republican, of Kansas told his
colleagues today as they consid-
cred how to make it easier for
all other American fighting men
to vote.
Senator Capper said "the hearts
of statesmen bleed" for servicemen
who may be left out of one election
in time Of war, but there is little
or no bleeding for their fellow
Americans who are and always have
been denied the vote in every ma
tional election since the seat of the
Government was located here"
Points to 1912 Ballot Law.
Servicemen from the States al
ready have chance to vote by alb
sentee ballot under a 1912 law. In
the pending Green-Lucas bill Con-
gress is striving to simplify the ma
chinery for collecting soldier bal
lots.
AS the Senate resumed debate on
the legislation. move of Senate
Republicans to let fighting men vote
by proxy in next years election
bumped headlong into Democratic
charges that the Republicans are
throwing up smoke screen to hide
their sabotage" of the bill.
The Republicans formed an almost
solid phalanx behind a substitute
offered by Senator Danaher, Repub-
lican, OF Connecticut to permit serv-
ice personnel to designate a back
home proxy to cast their ballots for
Federal officials.
Senator Capper is coauthor with
Representative Summers, Democrat,
OF Texas, of proposed constitu-
tlonal amendment that would merely
authorize Congress to give the Dis
trict representation in Congress and
In the Electoral College "in such
numbers and with such powers" as
Congress may determine.
The Kansan. who has taken an
active part in drafting District legis-
lation for many years, spoke in
part as follows:
while the Senate has under con-
sideration the soldier vote bill, I
regard it as sacred duty to in
vlte attention to the fact, which
might be otherwise overlooked, that
this bill and the fine sentiment back
OF 1t lack consistency in at least
one respect. In no matter what
form this legislation will finally
emerge from Congress, the fighting
men from an important community
in our country will not be among
the beneficiaries. They will con-
tinue to be denied the right and
privilege of voting in a national
election, a right the exercise of
which patriotic orators tell us goes
hand in hand with arms bearing.
In the Thick of Fight.
F1ghtlng side by side with the
men from your State and mine are
the fighting men from the voteless
and unrepresented District of Co.
lumbia. They are the men who
volunteered or were drafted, Just
like the boys from your State and
mine. They are in the thick of the
fight in all theaters of the war.

Peace Rumors Inspired by Axis
LuNWor Effort, HuNHints
Apparently Aimed to Create Overconfidence
Among Allies, Secretary Declares

Mr.. Hull did not elaborate, but the
implication was clear that he con-
siders the peace rumors to be Axis
inspired.
When asked whether Vatican au-
thorities had made overtures with
respect to assurances that the Vati-
can would not be bombed, the Sec
retary reported that there was some
discussion along that line some time
ago.
He said that naturally the Ameri-
can and Allied government have no
remote motive to bomb the Vatican
while on the contrary they have
every motive to avoid doing SO.

factors account for the major por-
ton of the city tax drop. The reve-
nue. now derived from the gasoline
tax was big factor and the ex-
tremely efficient operation of the
water department was the other.
Unusually good work in the collec-
ton of delinquent accounts as well
as the maintenance of current &C
counts in good standing in the
water department calls for COM
mendation of the heads of that de-
partment.
SCHOOL RATE
The 12-cent drop in the rate for
School District No. is reflection
of savings effected in various de-
partmentS. Due to a drastic drop,
in the average daily attendance
during the past year with the in
evitable drop in the amount of
state money made available for local
schools, officials Of the district
were fearful that an increase in the
school rate was unavoidable, how
ever, the figures show that this has
not happened and the fact that a
drop has resulted would certainly
indicate that here, too, interested
representatives have been mindful
of the increasing costs of living and
have done their part in assisting
the taxpayer to meet his increased
obligations.
There are other considerations
which contributed to the general
good result but it appears that on
the whole local county, city and
school officials should be commend
ed for the work which they have
done.

Meat Black Market
Methods Lifted From

CLEVELAND, Feb 1T seems
the men who are running this sud-
den black market" in meat are lift
ing their methods, chapter and verse,
from the Al Capone era And for
the same reason-high profits
In the Midwest-well. it sounds
very much like the days of walking
up two flights and asking for Joe
In the East, it's fancy financial
transaction masked by phoney sales
slips.
Here in Cleveland, one of the
badly hit cities. the OPA legal coun-
sci, James C. Gruener, says few
complaints are coming from Gus
toners about excessive prices. He
suspects they'd rather have meat
and no questions asked,
Policing Difficult.
OPA-erS have minor headache

/ prlation from Congress sets aside
no money to buy meat to get evi-

Nobody knows what's happened to
that hopeful percentage.
Then what happens?
The gents with the carcasses in
their barns and their coolers look
around to sell at the highest possible
price.
Consumer Glad to Pay.
The bidding is brisk Carcasses
sell for prices so high that it's OBJ
vlous the meat dealer can't both
pay the price and resell to his Gus
toners at the retail ceiling prices.
So it's supposed that Joe Sucker
pays too much for his sirloin steak,
and trots home happy just to have
a sirloin. He's making war wages
and he wants to eat good, and hang
the expense
This madhouse is creating scenes
that are reminiscent of liquor boot
legging-right down to bathtub gin.
Much of this bootlegged meat is
slaughtered in insanitary condi-
tons, and none of it passes under
Government inspection. City health
commissioners are getting gray
hairs over the epidemics that could
arise as result
OPA hears that some OF the boot
legged meat is slaughtered under
cover Of night, in innocent-looking
old barns that never held more than
three milk cows Barns with no
sanitary provisions. At midnight
trucks pull up in the drifting snow.
In lantern light, men hurry the
carcasses into the trucks, and the
trucks roar of so they can be at
the other end of their drive before
dawn, and the carcasses safely
slowed in back rooms. The farmer
quietly gets rid of the evidence and
goes to bed with a new bulge in

SO city people save up gasoline
and drive out to small towns to do
their shopping. And, boy, do they
buy. Then the small town squaUks

stores are suddenly empty.
Other city people are going direct
to the farmer to buy COW right

it, it's frozen, and the city buyer
