Answer; Both Senators would in
dignantly repudiate the idea that
the idea that the federal govern
ment should stand Idly by II some
latter-day Huey Long should at
tempt to set up Fascist dictator
ship In one of our States.
But II. r. 7 regulates only the
voting In federal elections. It is
a matter of vital concern to Mary
landers that the Senators and Con-
gressmen who make their laws at
Washington should be elected by
democratic processes.
When Congressman can be elect
ed by only five or ten thousand
votes. as repeatedly happens in poll
tax states. the system Is no democ-
racy. Perhaps 1t should be called
oligarchy.
Argument No. 4. (Tydings: II one

mans vote counts for more than an
others, as you say occurs when
many are disfranchised by the poll
tax. that does not make the system
undemocratic. After all, the popula-
ton of the several States Is very
different. yet Delaware with popu-
lation of $4,000 has two Senator's
in the U. S. Congress and New York
with some 100000 population also
has only two.
Answer: One might think that
Mr.. Tydings was arguing for aboli-
ton. But he is not thinking of do
ing himself out Of a job. He Is
merely arguing once again that two
wrongs make right.
The men who set up the consti-

The arguments which Senator'S
Tydings and Radcliffe use to justify
their opposition to cloture lie. to
limiting debate) are answered be-
low. Each Senator set forth his
position in detail in letter to the
Western Maryland industrial Union
Council.
Argument No. 1 (Tydings): II
the federal government attempts to
impose unwanted legislation on the
states, the attempt will break down
for the same reasons that national
prohibition broke down.
Answer: The bulk of the popula-
ton in the Southern States desires
the vote, but Is unable to secure 1t
because of warriors barriers placed
in the peoples way by those who
make the laws In those states.
II Senator Tydings thinks that
the demand for repeal Of the poll
tax laws is confined to the North
ern States, he should get copy
of The Southern Patriot, published
by an all-Southern body known as
the Southern Conference for HUI
man Welfare. The Southern Patriot
was established to campaign for re-
peal OF the poll-tax qualification.
Or what will the Senator say OF
the state of Tennessee. where the
legislature voted to repeal the poll
tax qualification. but the State Su-
preme Court decided that the legis-
lature did not have the power? A
federal law seems the only way out.
Argument No. 2 (Tydings): even
IL the poll tax is eliminated, I am
advised that they have the educa-
tional qualifications for voting in
most of the Southern States So
even though the poll tax Is elimi-
mated, great masses will still be dis
franchised because Of the education
al qualifications"
Answer: Two wrongs don't make
a right. The campaign against UNI
Just educational qualifications Is al
ready on. and we shall be happy to

to full democracy in the South. but
the biggest rock. or one of the big
gest, is the poll-tax barrier, and its
Importance is indicated by the
strength of the reactionary opposi-
ton TO H.R. Z.
When the opll-tax laws were in
troduced in Southern States. the
vote at the next election dropped
$50.
When Florida repealed its poll
tax qualification, the vote at the
next election doubled.
Argument No. 8 (Tydings and
Radcliffe): Each state should have
general supervision over its own in
ternal affairs.

tuition could not foresee the decline
in relative Importance Of the States
as such. But they did intend that
the House at least should be com.
posed of representatives chosen IN
proportion to population. The poll
tax, as shown above, defeats the
spirit Of the constitution. :.
Argument No. s (Tydings)s It IN
better to adopt the slower and
surer course of education to correct
the evils that exists in the States.

big reasons why the South has so

T hree Mere
Lads Caught
Stealing Cos

Three more Libby Juveniles have
run afoul of the law, boys of T.,
IA and Is years Of age. The boys
were caught stealing gas from the
Harry Waylett roadside inn several
miles south Of Libby at about 1870
o'clock Saturday morning.
Avery Kemp of Kalispell was on
his way to Libby and noticed the
boys hammering away at a gas
pump paddock at the inn, which
has been closed of late but where
gas has been stored for use by road
workers Kemp drove by but got to
thinking the boys had no business
there and thereupon drove back to
the Waylett ranch. When Waylctt
and Kemp arrived at the inn, the
boys had obtained about four gal
Ions of gas and were just ready TO
leave
When asked If they did not know
it was wrong to break into gas
pump and help themselves, they r.
piled that they had run out of gas
and had to have more and took the
attitude, well, what are you going
to do about it," The boys were
taken into custody and were given a
hearing before Justice Of the Peace
Wallace Monday morning. There
they took much the same attitude,
especially one Of them did-the Ii
year old one As the law stipulates,
the matter was referred to the ju-
venile court
1t turns out that the youths were
violators of a number Of legal slip
ulations. Ownership Of the old car
they were driving was illegal, the
car license was illegal, the car had
no lights and no brakes
