— | Creation of American ‘Nobility’ Suggested by Russian Duke ***** * , * * * Peerage to be Founded Upon Personal Accomplishment and Value to Country, Proposed by Duke Alexander—Edison, as Mankind’s Greatest Benefactor, Heads List of “U. S. House of Lords.” So..;;’. ™ W k, *'*'■ I ■ i iK fi ?h- &W. t&a, B j Bk. VI Henry ram Off: Hoover. | , David Sark-off n" i —■' ? a ft 1 ft J 1 'mV v I ‘x. S WBk KBa IB h. . ■BMHBF' HtJir Prof Robert Millik/yn Grand Duke. Al exander, Justice Holmes. Following up his suggestion that the United States ought to have a titled noEillty, Duke Alexander, of Russia, who recently made a lecture tour in this country, offers a list of Americans who would serve as the foundation of the proposed regime. At the head of the list he places Thomas Edison, who, by his inventive genius, has considerably lightened the burden of mankind. Henry Ford gets a nomination by virtue of his practically putting the world awheel. John D. Rockefeller, oil king, would have a prominent place in the new aristocracy, as would Associate Justice Oliver Wendel Holmes. Professor Robert Millikan, noted astronomer, of the University of Southern California, deserves the title which the duke would bestow upon him, if only for his temerity in debating with the author of relativity. Pres dent Hoover might meet with a little opposition from his Democratic opponents as well as the “wet” clement in his own party. But David Sarnoff, of the Radio Corporation of America, would be a popular Lord, having helped to make life one grand sweet song for America. Dr. William Mayo, of he Rochester, Minn., medical clinic, is another choice for scarlet and ermine. So it appears that far from being a threat to democracy, the Duke’s suggestion is an acknowledgment of truly great Americans that tower above the ruck of mankind

New York. Oct. 14. That the; i United States, as the most pro-| 1 gressive country’ in the worl<l. ought to have its House of ixtrds. is tlie startling suggesting of Alex-' ander, Duke of Russia, who re-! cently made a lecture tour of this country. To the great majority of Americans the proposal smacks of trea-i son against the sacred tenets of j for which thousands, of their countrymen suffered and died. Most of us regard titles, at' tlie very beat, in th* same light that we regard the funny paper hat we wear at a “Ijet's-be-silly" i party. But when the Duke elaborates upon the details of his remarkable proposal, most of us will be compelled to agree that there Is something to be said for his point of view. First, he makes it clear that the European yardstick of accomplish-: ments would be less than useless In laying out tlie foundations of an American nobility. Titled honors are rarely bestowed in the Old World 6or personal ability. Ninety per centof those who rank above' the de.T.oc.atic title of Mister do so by virtue of their having inherited the honor like a piece Os real estate. The nobility which Duke Alexander suggests for the United States, however, would be built upon the rock of personal accom-

plishment. Titles would be strict-; i ly limited to those who had proved ■ themselves of a high degree of indispensability to their country. ! Wliereas many of the most Ancient ' titles in Europe were created on the battlefields of centuries ago—when knighthood was tn flower —I the Dnke points out that mobe hon orable victories have ts>en won by j Americans in factories and laboratories. , To illustrate his point, the Duke! cites the case of Thomas Alva . Edison, who has mdrte Victories ■ against the enemies of mankind to his credit than probably nny! man who ever lived. Edison elim-i Inated drudgery from the world, a greater accomplishment than 1 could be boasted bv anv crusaderi who ever went forth in shfn'ng ■ armor to battle the infidel. In our American equivalent of the Gotha Almanac. Blue Book and Who’s i Who, the Dnke would award the! place of honor to Mr. Edison.! That decision would meet with the approval of the whole world. I Next. Duke Alexander norni-i nates Henry Ford for a prominent [ ; position in the American Peerage.' i by virture of Mr. Ford's victory I over the Dragon Distance. There may be a dissenting few who will; ! disagree with the creation of a! Lord Detroit, but they’ll be all ; pedestrians. , In the case of President Hoover, also suggested for membership'

to the courtyard. They shot Sher- i iff and Mrs. Trinkle in the legs and ■ ran toward the Spurlock's cell. Elmer Gerald, town marshal, cut i short their attack when he shot and , killed Odle. Gerald himself was j voun led seriously. I)an, Alonzo and Gi ! ford fled, but Gilford later sur- i 1 -ndered. To prevent another such~attack, 1 state police pa ■•tolled near the court house today. Sheriff Stewart announced he would "shoot to kill" it necessary, to prevent an outbreak ‘ ■!

in the House of l<ords, the Demo' cratic party would have to be reckoned with, as well as the ’Wet" element in the President's own G. O. P. Then there is David Sarnoff. ol the Radio Corporation of America who has done much to make life one grand sweet song ( "When the Moon Comes Over the Mountains' tor his fellow countrymen. In the event of Mr. Sarnoft’s elevation tc the peerage we might ekiteVt reg ular broadcasts from the House of American Lords to brighten oui home life. The bestowal of a title on Dr VA illiam Mayo, of the Rochester Minn., clinic, would draw univer sal applause, as would that of As sociate Justice Oliver Wendel Holmes. Another on the Duke’s list foi honor Is Professor Robert Milli kan. of the I’niverMty of Southert < alffornia. a world-famous astron omer, who merits the title If onlj for his temerity in debating witl Professor Albert Einstein, whost theory of relativity is understand able only to those born with e knowledge of tfl-nomal theoren and kindred atrocities. Thus, we must admit that th< Duke's suggestion is not a threa against the spirit of democracy but rather a recognition of truij great Americans who stand hear and shoulders over the ruck o mankind.

I In view of the rigorous precau j lions, it was believed the Gibsons ■ would be content to let the law set | He th ir giud.e with the Spurlocks . at least temporarily.

TAX GROUP TO AWAIT ORDERS Chain Tax Collection Withheld Until Formal Notice Arrives Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 14 —(UP)— The Indiana tax commission will make no moves to collect the chain store license tax until it receives formal notification that the U. S. Supreme court has approved the tax. commissioner James Showalter told the United Press today. The supreme court has acted favorably in a test ease involving the license tax hill. Showalter said no action in the matter would begin un til the injunction against the tax law, applied soon after the bill was passed, is formally removed. He explained that after the ex- i pected few days before the injunc-1 tipn is lifted, the license tax ad- • niinistrator will be supplied with : : adequate assistants to begin collecting fees retroactive since July 1 i 1931 “As far as we know, probable ! questionnaire forms will be issued I to the 92. county auditors In the ■ ■ state who in turn will supply them ‘ i to those individuals and firms liable I ■for the tax. Perhaps we will give | ' the presence of the forms of audi j tors’ offices fo.mal legal publication. “We expect the payment of the 1 tax to be largely a gentleman’s proposition. .Most of them, we feel will send us checks immediately closing the matter. Alter a reasonable time, we will send investigators throughout the state seeking out the stores which ■ d<» not display licenses according I ! to law and the second step in the ! action will begin. I “We don’t expect a lot of trouble | i collecting it. except that there must ; be some definite line drawn as tb ithe limits of taxable interprises.
