Disfranchising Women Back of the movement to repeal the primary law is the desire of male politicians to get rid of the influence of women in politics,—not all women, of course, but the kind of women who study problems, have consciences and are not seeking political jobs. The woman they fear is the employed woman or home maker who takes an interest in public affairs and votes in the primary. They do not fear the woman who plays the political game in order to get a job for herself or her husband. They are content to use that sort in their squads of “whispering womer” when poisoning with gossip and prejudice is prescribed. It may be safely asserted that if the primary law is repealed no woman with an ideal above the workings of practic'd politics for vhat there is in it will have anything to say about nominations. While it may be admitted that the outcome of primaries is often disappointing, as witness the vietory of Robinson for the senate and Updike for congress, the products of conventions offer no guarantee that these bodies are inspired with omniscience or real wisdom. The primary has failed because the machine politicians have found tricks to make it ineffective. It has failed only when, by confusion and a vast array of candidates, it has been possible to divide the well-intentioned and permit nominations to go to the choice of the machine. This applies to the county jobs where a mere plurality N is sufficient to insure a nomination. In state affairs the trick is to throw the nominations into a convention where the will of the people can be defeated. Each election an increasing number of citizens is participating in the primaries. This the politicians of the machine kind do not like. It is becoming more apd more difficult to confuse and divide the people. The attack on the primary becomes more dangerous because of the fact that the local Democratic organization is indorsing the plea of the Republican machine. The successive victories of Coffin suggests that there is not that deep division of sentiment between parties which permits of a successful opposition, perhaps Coffin has succeeded becsAse the people saw po real reason to change from one party to a twin. It seems impossible that the scheme of politicians to destroy the primaries can succeed in disfranchising the women of the state without some tremendous protest. , If the primaries have not succeeded in getting rid of all the undesirables, make the law stronger, not wc&kcr. Instead of repealing the law, amend it so that a majority vote in the primaries will determine the nominations. The politicians understand that they must repeal the law at this session or never. “Next session these birds will be too afraid of the people to act” is tne sinister comment of one of the leaders for the repeal of the law. That comment ought to give a good picture to the members of the legislature of just how these bosses regard them and their fates. Make Public Business Public Senators who insist that an amendment the first deficienqy bill requiring that all tax refunds and rebates in excess of $10,006 be sent to the board of tax appeals for re-examination are to be commended. It is time the secrecy surrounding the repayment of hundreds of millions of public money to big taxpayers be ended. Congress year after year is asked to appropriate vast sums without detailed knowledge of how the money is spent. Senator McKellar, author of the amendment, says that more than three billions has been returned to taxpayers in cash or credits since 1918—all secretly. Congress never has been able to obtain a comprehensive explanation forithe steady increase 41 refunds, which have grown from $2,000,000 in 1918 to $205,000,CV. this year. Dissatisfaction with the administration of the internal revenue bureau has been intensified by recent events. One was the abortive effort to collect $1',. 000,000 back taxes from Senator Couzens, which he charged was an attempt to stop his investigation of the bureau. Another was the sudden demand of the treasury for an additional $75,000,000 for tax refunds at this session. The president, apparently not advised of the forthcoming request, a few days earlier had warned that a surplus of only $37,000,000 was in sight. Members of congress wondered if the business of tax refunding was in such a state of confusion that the treasury would come no nearer in estimating its needs for this purpose. Also, congress learned for the first time that secret credits to taxpayers were at least double the amount of cash refunds. This demolished the treasury’s favorite argument that its collections through increased assessments were vastly greater than its refunds. Congress discovered as well that the United States Steel corporation had been repaid $57,000,000 on its assessment alone in cash and credits, and that all negotiations had been conducted secretly by a small groi’p in the bureau. Under present law a list of refunds is sent annually to congress, but this gives only names and amounts. Records of refunds greater than $75,000 are sent to a joint committee of the house and senate, but the committ *3 is not equipped to supply anything approaching adequate publicity, or effectively check up on the bureau. Refunds are made on authority of the internal revenue commissioner, after hearings by two or three of bis subordinates. The larger cases are renewed by the general counsel’s office. This concentrates great power in the hands of the commissioner. Awards of millions are made on the judgment of two or three unknown individuals. No corporation may know what factors governed in previous decisions. The public and congress are completely in the dark. The charge of fraud has not been made. It is rather the infinite possibilities for corruption that has stirred the senate. Friends—campaign contributors, lor instances—might be rewarded, and enemies punished, and no one would be the wiser. The system should be changed. There should be soma check on transactions involving such huge amounts and the possibility of suspicion should be removed- No harm can come from publicity. The public’s business should be transacted in public. tA \ n

The Immigration Muddle Hoover yet may have his way on immigration policy. The senate immigration committee yesterday decided to hold hearings this week on the Nye resolution postponing for another year the national origins revision clause of the present quota law of 1924. The cabinet commission, charged by the law with reapportioning quotas on the basis of “national origin” of the entire United States, population in 1920, submitted such a table last year, which it termed unsatisfactory. In his speech accepting the presidential nomination Hoover said: “Asa member of the commission whdse duty it is to determine the quota basis under the national origins law, I havq found it impossible to do so accurately and without hardship. The basis now in effect carries out the essential principle of the law, and I favor repeal of that part of the act calling for a*new basis of quotas.” Present quotas are based on the 1890 census and in general favor North European countries, while proposed quotas based on the 1920 census would favor South Europeans. Twice congress has postponed operation of the national origins revision clause. The Nye resolution would authorize a third postponement, pending further study by the cabinet commission. If congress is not prepared at this time to repeal the national origins clause,*thus formally stabilizing the present quota basis, as requested by Hoover, the next best thing is to adopt the Nye resolution. That would give Hoover more time in which to demonstrate to congress the faults of the proposed revision. Meanwhile, new immigration figures confound urgent recommendations by Secretary of Labor Davis for extending the quota restriction system to Mexico and other western hemisphere countries. Secretary of State Kellogg and other cabinet offl dais from the beginning have opposed the Davis recommendation as unnecessary and as harmful to our foreign diplomatic and trade relations. Now statistics published by Davis’ subordinate, the commissioner of immigration, show a decline in immigration from western hemisphere countries during the last half of 1928. The Canadan inflow fell 21.6 per cent and the Mexican 14.2 per cent. This substantiates the Kellogg argument that such immigration can be regulated by stricter border supervision and co-operation with foreign governments, without imposing the quota system. Lindbergh in the Cabinet? The best cabinet suggestion we have heard is Lindbergh for assistant secretary of commerce for aviation. We are old-fashioned enough to believe that a President should be free to choose his official family without advice from politicians and the press. Under the constitution, they are responsible to him, and he is responsible for them to the country. Lindbergh, nor any other outstanding person, would be a cabinet success unless his presence were desired by Hoover and unless he personally could work well with the President. But if it is true, as correspondents with Hoover at Miami Beach are writing, that the President-elect is considering the great flier as a member of his “little cabinet” of assistant secretaries, the country will be much pleased. Few national heroes ever were acclaimed as Lindbergh. More important, few have worn so well. He is probably more popular today than when he completed his epochal trans-Atlantic flight. That is due to his medesty and to his continuing aviation exploits. We are ceasing to think of him as “lucky” and beginning to think of him as “great.”

David Dietz o 9 Science Rainbow Explained No. 272 ~

WE OWE much of cur modern knowledge of the sun to the pioneer work of Joseph Fraunhofer. He frequently is called the father of modern spectroscopy, for he started this important branch of astronomy. Sir Isaac Newton had shown that if you held a little glass prism in the path of a beam of sunlight, it divided the sunlight into a band of colors, a little rainbow.

Jf ft ' It GUSTAV ROBERT ' %2g®tmKIRCmiOFF.

was that the rainbow w as crossed with a great number of vertical black lines of various thickness and intensities, numbering about 600 in all. Fraunhofer showed that these lines were always present and he named some of the more conspicuous ones after the letters of the alphabet. It was in 1814 that Fraunhofer discovered the dark lines in the little rainbow or spectrum, to give it the scientific name. But neither Fr aunhofer nor any of his contemporaries knew their meaning. It was not until almost a half century later that these “Fraunohhofer lines,” as the dark lines then were called, •were explained. In 1859, two German physicists announced the results of a series of experiments which not only cleared up this mystery, but laid the foundation for some of the most important advances which modern scientists have made in the realm of astronomy, physics and chemistry. Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirehoff were the two scientists. They showed that when light from a source which was a solid or a liquid gas under high pressure was passed through a prism, the result was a continuous spectrum, that is a rainbow of colors from red to violet. They showed next that when light from a gas at low temperature was passed through a prism that the result was only a few bright lines and that every chemical substance gave always the same line or combination of lines. Thus it was possible to identify any chemical ’ element by the bright lines in its spectrum. And finally they showed that when the light from a source as in the first case passed through a layer of cooler gases before reaching the prism, the result was a spectrum like that of the sun, a continuous spectrum crossed by black lines. Here, then, was the explanation of the Fraunhofer lines.

M. E. TRA CY SAYS: “Crime and Immorality Notwithstanding, This World Is Still Dominated by Decent People.”

SACRAMENTO, Cal. Dictator Rivira says the Spanish revolt has been crushed. Less prejudiced witnesses are not so sure. It makes little difference who is right. Time was when trouble in Spain meant trouble for most of the world. Now what is left of that once all powerful empire ruled by Charles V. can ’ turn somersaults without causing more than a slight riffle. If development of the new world forms the crowning glory of this age, the decline of Spain' is its greatest tragedy. Out of the territory once controlled by Spain, nineteen republics have been formed, as well as a good part of the United States. Spanish priests had built twentysix missions on the Paoific coast, a days march apart and running from the Mexican border to San Francisco Bay, while our ancestors still were wondering what lay beyond the Rocky Mountains. Interest in Spanish affairs comes easier in California than in the east. Strange as this may seem, it illustrates those national characteristics which determine the rise and fall of an empire. The Spaniards went far for the treasure and converts while the English took what was nearer for settlement. A Pizarro In Peru, or a Cortez in Mexico, seemed much more prophetic of the future greatness than a Winthrop in Massachusetts, or a Lord Baltimore in Maryland. u tt tt Spanish Traditions STILL, Spain did not proceed without leaving worth while landmarks and traditions. One can feel her influence in California even at this late day, not as the conquisator might have hoped, or could have guessed, but through the better work of missionary and architect. There is a movie theater in Sacramento modeled after the Alhambra. It’s the real thing, too, with courts, gardens, reflecting basins, five-foot water jars, tiled recesses and colonades, occupying an acre of ground some twenty blocks out from the business district, with plenty of parking space. I am told it was designed as the first unit of anew community center, and that the real estate men who built it expects his reward by way of rises in the adjacent property he controls. Be that as it may, he has done something artistic and unique, something that can not be duplicated in any eastern town of 100,000 and that would not be in Sacramento but for Spanish tradition. * a tt College Morals A CHICAGO pastor rises to remark that college students have improved in their morals during the last two years, despite petting and hip pocket flasks. A California judge, with twenty years of experience on the bench, says that crime is not on the increase, but that we are arresting folks for a raft of newly discovered offenses, which makes it look that way. Some will regard the pastor and the judge as overly optimistic, but more will believe them right. I am not disposed to argue the point. Whether college students have improved during the last few years, there is still room for them to continue, and whether crime is on the increase, we could get along with far less. Crime and immorality notwithstanding, tliis world is still dominated by decent people, especially the younger portion of And you can still find an example of self-sac-rifice or heroism to match every piece of thuggery. it tt tt Heroic Bus Driver AT 2 o’clock Monday morning, a San Francisco-Seattle bus went oven an embankment just north of Redding, Cal., lodged against a tree and caught fire. The tree saved the bus from taking a fifty-foot fall, but pinned the driver. Though facing immediate and terrible death, that driver never lost his head, but spent his last few moments telling passengers how to extricate themselves, warning rescuers to keep away and sending a farewell message to his wife. That is the kind of a spirit that makes even cowards ashamed. tt tt tt Lindy Leading Way COLONEL LINDBERGH celebrates his twenty-seventh birthday by starting from Miami to Panama with a sack of mail in his airplane. Most young men would be content to rest on the laurels he has won, or think they would. If they had won them, however, they would not be the contented kind. People have advised Colonel Lindbergh to quit, some of them yerv wise people, and all of them with the best of intentions. If he took their advice, he would not be the man he is. would not continue to set the fine example he does. Lindbergh was born to go on. to lead the way. to try what scares most of us, and none knows it better than he. There is no hope of inducing him to quit so long as he has youth and vigor, for which we should all be thankful. What he has done and the kind of character he typifies has been little less than a god sent to this generation of boys. As an air pilot he has been marvelous, but as a type of manhood, he has achieved the proportions of a prophet.

Study of Snake Poison Bares New Facts

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. SNAKES are not so common in this country as to be a constant menace to most of us, but they still constitute a subject of the greatest interest to investigators of the actions of poisons on the human body. It previously was thought, as is pointed out in a recent discussion of the subject by investigators in the Antivenin Institution of America, that the venoms of different poisonous snakes were essentially identical in their actions. This conception was based on the similarity of the symptoms which followed snake bite, and of the effect of various substances on the snake venoms. The studies were, however, mostly chemical studies. Recent investigations have .been made by the method of the science of immunology which deals with the building up of resistance in the body against various poisons. Such tests are carried out in two ways—by animal experimentation and by the placing together in tubes of the poisonous substances and of portions of the blood of animals into

which small doses of the poisonous s bstances have been injected. Asa result of such investigations, it has now been determined that the venoms of six species of North American rattlesnakes contain identical of almost identical poisons. The poisons of the copperhead and moccasin snakes are practically identical, but differ from those of the rattlesnakes. The poisons of the crotalus terrificus or rattlesnake of Central and South America and that of the bothrop atrox or fer de lance differ entirely from those of the snakes of North America. The poisons contain not only certain substances which produce paralysis of nerves and death, but also other substances the effects of which on the human body have not been determined. In these experiments the chief end sought is the development of antiserum with which to prevent death from snake bite. It has been possible to develop serums for some of the poisons, the effectiveness depending to some extent on the amount of poison injected by the snake when it bites. It has been shown that the rattlesnake does not eject the entire

Indiana, state of wealth, that can afford a memorial costing $15,000,000 and $35,000 a year upkeep, can at least give something that would mean more to other men and to me than just a building to look at. I ask any ex-service man to look at the work of neighbor states. They gave a bonus and didn’t fight in the legislature about it. I ask Mr. Gresham to please state the service he rendered to his country in plain print, then we all, as ex-service men, would know why he says “no” to the bonus bill. If the bonus bill were proposed and voted on, Gresham would be only one in 10,000 to say “no.” I am sure many soldiers would be glad to see the bill passed. They could get back their government bonus policies that they borrowed money on more than a year ago. If Mrs. Gresham thinks they don’t need it, I ask him to take an inventory of the banks and see how many borrowed money on the government bonus, and how many have been unable to redeem them. P.

IT SEEMS TOME u tt By HEYWOOD BROUN

Id• * a sad opinions expressed in this eo Ia m a ere those of one of America’* most interestin ( writers end ere presented without retard to their agreement with the editorial attitude of this paper. The Editor.

ST. JOHN ERVINE, the Ulster playwright and critic ,says that the drama is dying and that women are at fault. In his opinion they like “pretty things” and therefore prefer comedy to tragedy. Indeed, he says that “musical comedy is the acme of their taste.” Generalizations are hard to defend or to deny and I am suspicious about |.l statements which begin “men f re—” or “women don’t—.” Within? a mile anybody is likely to find at great; variety among the males arid busses. People are not as yet completely standardized. I seem to find a certain hostility toward women in the writings of St. John Ervine. Femininism is to him like a red flag to a bull. The audacious Freudians might be inclined to guess that in early youth he was frightened badly by some girl beyond the point of prompt recovery. tt tt There! There! IF I may be permitted the dangerous luxury of generalization, I will hazard the statement that most of the sweeping denunciation of women are uttered by men less than five feet seven and one-half inches in stature. The Roman who failed to get a Sabine while the rush was on went home and wrote bitter Sunday pieces about the lack of taste in women. Great stamping declarations of virility and male supremacy come chiefly from such of us as are a little timid. We sing of dead men’s chests and chant “Yo Ho” of barreled rum because we fear the sirens will get us if we don’t watch out. There is no tree so noisy as the clinging oak. Palpably the theater is largely dependent upon the favor of wommen. And so is American art, literature and music,. Culture is always the creature of the leisure class and women here enjoy far more leisure than do the men. “Women,” says Ervine, "have ruined everything else they have gone into.” This accusation covers a large amount of territory and the gentleman from Ulster should have introduced more evidence than the seemingly sickly state of dramatic art. a a tt Mad Money WOMAN has begun to come out out of the kitchen. The Increase in prosperity and the indention of labor-saving devices have lightened the tasks of the housewife. The American grandmother, poor wretch, had to bake and sew and had small time for more pleasurable pursuits. People had to tell her the name of the current President and take her by the arm at street crossings. The lady now has her latchkey. And how has woman behaved with her new-found liberty? Just dandy, if you’re asking me. Never has there been so eager a market for books of substance and women make up the bulk of the buyers. Today “The Story of Philosophy” sells like “Richard Carvel.” Demand for trash diminishes. Chiefly, it seems to me, we must credit the taste of women for the development of the new frankness in literature and the drama. Most moves for censorship are masculine in genesis. Women simply don’t get shocked with the same readiness as men. They are the realists of this world. XX tt tt Baldheads Go Up AND surely the current musical comedies are not supported wholly by frantic females. It is not for the sake of the feminine fans that Godiva rides again in Ziegfeld’s show or Dorothy Knapp appears diaphanous in an Earl Carroll production. My own experience has been that the girl you take out to dinner wants to see “The Wild Duck” or Hampden’s Cyrano. Only after much persuasion will she compromise on “Animal Crackers.” Indeed so stern and unrelenting is her pursuit of the higher things that the wings of the Forty-fourth Street theater are all cluttered up with chorus girls reading books. Back stage last night I found the works of Tolstoi, Aldous Huxley and only one of these is essentially a 'funny fellow. “Women know nothing about acting.” says Ervine. Oh, my poor St. John, what heartbreaks lie ahead of you. Nor is the dramatic skill of women limited to successful emotional displays in private. The New York theater is knee deep in young women of high talent. There are ten good actresses for every single adequate actor. So poverty stricken is the local stage in the matter of male performers that when a script requires a character to walk into a room and say "Good morning” to his host it is necessary to import some lad from England. If Ervine knows any American actor fit to lace the shoe of Ethel Barrymore I wish that he would name him. But, of course, he is talking of the appreciation of acting rather than the ability to perform. Even so it seems to me that the women in the audience clap their hands, and cry and sit up straight at what appear to be the proper moments. Women flock to see and applaud male stars like Walter Hampden who have only their art and nothing of physical grace or charm to deceive you. Moreover. I think that if Ervine will examine the critical writings in the daily journals of New York he will find that some of the soundest and best expressed appraisals of current dramatic fare come from the pen of women. iCopynght. 1929. lor The Times)
