Two Negroes were recently speaking about "the legislature of their state, whidw-waabout to open. One asked the other what it was going to do, and upon being told that it was going more laws inquired why, in view of the fact that it had passed several hundred laws the year before. .To this inquiry, the .other-Negrunconsciously mde a very pertinent reply, when he said they had to . pass the new laws because the old ones cre brake. With tens of thousands of. laws passed every year covering all sorts of trivial and personal matters af feeding. t.be ljjerties and "actions of the individual in his home, on the street and while travel- . . ing, it is difficult not to break. ' We are today passing law after law which .makes it unlawful dlo an act which the mere doing of, in itself, i3 not morally un,to Such laws are hard to enforce and more people .become lawful. lawbreakers, feeling that they are not actually doing anything . . . wrong. To cite typical examples: A state traffic law says it is unlawful to travel more than .30 miles an hour on a state highway. A driver on a rountry road with nobody in sight goes 35 miles, an hour. He is a. lawbreaker. As a matter of .fact, he is doing no harm and can see no reason for obeying the law if he can evade the Another state law says that a man shall not own a "speed cop. without presenting himsejf to the police and givrevolver pistol or ing a complete record of himself for future reference. Americans have always been gun owners. .They cannot see anything wrong in owning a gun. They do not take kindly to the idea of being classed with criminals. Therefore, thousands of them are lawbreakers because they refuse to obey a law which makes it unlawful to do something, in itself, is actually not unlawful namely, to own and ' use a gun. Countless similar instances could be cited. Every new law which is not fundamentally sound, makes thousands and hundreds of thousands of lawbreakers. Is it any wonder the courts are jammed and the problem of law enforcement becomes more critical? The situation offers a logical answer stop passing new laws, enrepeal thousands of useless laws .now on our statute books and actual on have an property bearing force fundamental laws which of the nation. the and crime protection rights, i to-pas- s .. s.

The second resolution, from the school of finance and legislative section, favors the passage of several measures that would prove beneficial to all teachers. The resolution follows: 1. In order that the large volume of the states wealth existing in the form of intangible personal property may he reached through taxation, we recommend that we continue to work for a constitutional amendment to provide for a classified property tax. 2. That ,wc favor the passage of the New Educational Bill providing for a secretary of education in the cabinet of the president of the United States and that the secretary of this conference inform our four congressional representatives in WashWaffle-Iro. , ington, D..C., of this action. 3.

We don't hear so much nowadays from the League of Nations propagandists about getting the United States into the thing, but that is no sign they have gone completely out of business. It will not be long until some new plea or argument will come forth from them. The current issue of the North American Review has some interesting and effective comment on this. We are having a parlous time, America, - says the League of Nations, "and you are not here. To this positive information, the Review says that we are not and that "we are glad of it." "And in saying that," says the Review, we are not repeating the demand Am I my brother s keeper?' Great as is our aversion to American compliity in European affairs we have no wish to shirk responsibility or duty. If we were in any degree concerned in these complications, we should not demur to taking part in them. If our membership in the League of Nations would save Europe from such troubles and assure lasting peace and harmony, we should readily assent to Americas joining it. But the fact is that America has no more- business to say whether Vilna belongs to Lithuania or Poland, or whether Poland should possess a corrider to the sea at Dantzig and thus cut Prussia China Waffle Total $10.50 pieces 4.00 . . $14.50 OUR FEBRUARY OFFER nt edu--ation- al When you pay 1195 for a car ' you're entitled to them-iclv- es var-ou- er se--u- re Bulck quality Buick luxury and Buick reliability ' All that Buicks name means in beauty, performance, stamina and long life All may be yours for only 1195.
