THIS Is YOUR OPPORTUNITY

The Citizen on "Wednesday published
copies Of suggested letters for Key West
ers 10 send 10 our senators. representative
in Washington and the National Head
quarters OF the Citizens Committee for the
Hoover Report. urging them 20 expedite
the reorganization Of the executive branch
Of the federal government and thereby
save American taxpayers an estimated 50
billion a year.
Key westers should bear In mind that
every letter counts in building up public
opinion in favor Of stopping waste in the
operation and maintenaRce of oar govern
ment. Never before ia the history Of the
world has 80 much money been wasted for
red tape and an unneeded multiplicity Of
employees a. is al present the ease in
Washington. And that condition has been
increasing year after year without any de-
termined attempt. except in isolated eases.
to stop II. The outstanding man in Wash
ington against the waste of the publiC's
money has been senator Harry Byrd 81

sentatIves. as well a. the committee. urR.

your own letters But write In any event.
You will not only help your country as a
whole bot also help yourself directly. The
greater economy practised In Washington.
the less you will have 10 pay in taxes.
The Citizen has remarked. time and
again. that the American people should
call 4 halt in the extravaganza Of govern
ment. This Is your opportunity 10 help 10
curb or wipe out that extravaganee

The freedom Of the people of Monroe

other Americans. Is protected by the Bin

nature Of the privileges accorded him un-
der a liberal Interpretation Of the proyi-
sions included under that term.
Just now. the United States is hearing
much about subversive. un-Amsrican and
other peculiar activities. Various effort
are being made Ca have Congress pass bills

which most Americans do not like.
II might be a good idea. however. for
us in our zeal to uphold American hbcr-
ties to make certain that We do not violate
these liberties IN an attempt to stamp out
the thinEs that ue consider Dangerous tu
the liberties Themselves.
A one outstanding editor has sait /:
Commuters that have studied un-Ameri-

An Interesting legal situation arises
Ia South Dakota. where circuit Judge has
ordered the release Of a prisoner convict
ed u killing another man. upon the
ground that there l. no law providing Tor
punishment Of q white man who murders
another white man ON an Indian Reserva-
ton.
The decision was based on the fact
that, In 1901. the South Dakota Legisla-
ture relinquished Jurisdiction over certain
crimes on Indian Reservations. Thereafter
The Federal Courts accepted the iurisdir-
tion through an Act % Congress bat. in
i94s. the Federal government gave up ju-
risdietion over crimes involving white per
sons only. The South Dakota Legislature.
in the meantime, had not acted 10 restore
Jurisdiction 10 the State government
The decision of the iurist viii prove
startling to those who do not thoroughly
understand that in this tree country no
man can be punished for an act unless the
Law has established Il a. . crime prior to
Us occurrence. Consequently. II no court
has Jurisdiction of the offenae there can
be- no legal proceedings 10 punish the In
dividual. The man J. protected bv the con
siitntional safeguards thrown around citi-
zens.
Safeguard may seem o. work a trav.
esiy ou justice IN connection with the ape.
eifie case reported from south Dakota bat
they serve a. bulwark tor the freedom n
al citizens. The protection Of general
rights and Liberties . more important than
The punishment Of one individual. This l.
the theory upon which Anglo-saxon ju..
tiee l. based and, regardless of apparent
errors. even though guilty individuals may
eseape punishment. must be upheld.
