T1TE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 1921 BEATING UP POLICE niniGii Feminists to Prove They Are Man's Superior. PARTS TAKEN IN HOLDUPS High School Girls Go on Strike Wbcn Tbcjr Are Transferred to Another Building. BY JESSIE HENDERSON. (Oopyriirht. 1021, br The Onuonlu.) NEW YORK, Oct. 1. tsipecial.) Not sines the alone age has woman been so nearly man's equal as she is today. Swinging elections, manning tube trains, aiding- bold-upa, the New York woman has progressed step by slop till now she 'beats up policemen. It remained for Mrs. Mary Esposito to usurp this heretofore masculine privilege, a privilege to which man lias Jealously clung for centuries. What Ir. Mary Walker started, Mrs. . Mary Esposlto finished. Most feminists are content to prove that woman Is man's equal. Mary went them one better. She proved that woman is man's superior, for she beat up the policeman with his own club. The martyr's crown, usually a reward for pioneers, has been care fully fitted to Mary's head. She waa arrested for assault. lllKh School GlrU Strike. The whole thing happened because the policeman objected to Mary's grown-up son and his playmates breaking windows, and otherwise wrecking property. Without comment ing upon the woman's motives or principles one may be permitted to point out that through Mary man's last exclusive civic right is his ex clusive right no more. If woman can beat up policemen, they can do any thing. Take a glance at the 150 high school glrla who went on strike, tfince moral suasion replaced some thing elue again, it is not unusual for high school students to strike for this and that. But it is unusual for the girls to get their mothers to walk out on a sympathetic str'ke and keep walking with their daughters, round and round the school 'building to the consternation of the faculty and the unholy glee of the other students. It seems that the school principal trans ferred 150 girls to another building. JuKt why they objected to the other building is not clear. But the main point is that instead of behaving like a parent that Is. Instead of rescinding . his order with apologies the princi pal Insisted on being obeyed. Not until some policemen arrived did the young women decide to do as their teachers commanded. When the girls filed meekly Into the designated building, without any back talk, sev eral of the mothers appeared dazed. Eugenics Congress Held. Amid the strikes. Jobs and politics, the second International congress of eugenics placidly met. Perhaps, after all, eugenics holds the only solution for modern riddles. At present, how evcr. the congress concentrated upon the cuttlefish. One can always count, in any week, on robberies and shootings. But sel dom does one week yield the stealing of $10,000 In Jewels from a woman bound and gagged, or the shooting of an heiress by ber closest woman friend. Divorce did not lose these past seven days, but the StIHman case was kept before the public by the sum moning Into court of Miss Anne Still man. The 19-year-old girl who sided .with her father in his marital trou bles had broken a minor traffic rule while driving her car and she left the court amlling under a suspended sentence. One Boldnp Is on Roof. As for the week's holdups, the most unusual took (place on a roof. Passers-by became aware of it when cKs began to rain upon the Just and unjust. Investigation disclosed an egg peddler who. attacked as he journeyed via the roof from tenement to tene ment, used his wares as weapons. But Walter Hawley has a scheme to prevent all bank holdups, at least Hawley. accused of stealing a motor car, saldl he really couldn't spars the time to go to jail 'because he was per fecting aa Invention whereby a bank cashier can simultaneously hold up his hands, lock all doors In the bank, start a siren in the street, notify the polios station and take a panoramic snapshot of the neighborhood. The only thing It falls to do is to knock the robber in the head. expert! of high standing, and some from men of national reputation. Oth ers are from business and profession al men. Some suggested new prece dents involving court decisions not heretofore brought under considera tion in connection with the conten tion that personal effects, automo biles, baggage and all buildings ex cept private residences may be searched without warrants. These will be utilized when discus sion of the conference report on the bill is renewed in the senate. Senator Stanley will deliver a church address here next Sunday eve ning.

BY ARXO DOSCH FLEUROT. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub linhed by Arranrement.) BERLIN, Oct. 1. (Special Cable.) The Reichstag will adjourn for three weeks to give the government time to straighten out the tangled taxation situation. The government had an elaborate taxation scheme which was directed at big Industry and the land holders. The federal ministry of economy, which Is under the Influence of the social democrats, had 15 immediate taxes and the so-called gold- stand ard plan to spring on the reichstag when a new political alignment changed things. The people's party, whicfc is com posed of industrials, was warned by the finance ministry of the socialists' planj so the people's party, not wishing to give the socialists a chance to attack the Industrials, without limit. Jumped in politically. and opened a conference of industry and trade at Munich, which assumed control of the financial situation an.4 left the government's plans hanging in midair. Situation Is Controlled. The Munich conference got control of the situation and left the reichstag high and dry by suggesting the use of industrial bonds Instead of govern ment bonds for the purpose of raising Immediately the billion and a half gold marks necessary Jo meet Immediate payments of reparations and domestic expenses. For the government needs at least this sum. In addition it needs 350.000.000 gold marks to pay repara tions in November and 500,000,000 in January and it must cover 108.000. 000,000 paper marks in the budget. As the government could not raise the money needed, except by taxation which would not yield soon enough. It was forced to listen to the Indus trials at Munich, and so the reichstag decided to adjourn until the indus trials decide how the money is to be raised. Plan Is Being; Formed. A plan is forming behind the scenes in the Munich industrial conference to get a delay of five- years in the payment of reparations. This would give the government's present taxa tion plans time to get into operation, or give the industrials time to estab lish credit abroad. It is believed that England is favorable to a five-year suspension in the payments of rep arations, and Minister of Reconstruc tion Rathenau's conferences with Minister of Liberation Loucheur, as Rathenau explained at the Munich conference, makes it possible to In crease deliveries in kind, which. In turn, relieves taxation. If the entente will not consent to this delay, then the Industrial confer ence must make good its offer of a billion and a half gold marks or at the end of three weeks the, govern ment will put through Its 15 new tax ation bills and its gold standard plan. The government prefers that the in dustrial conference should succeed, because its success means a broad political coalition and tbe voluntary shouldering by industry of the bur den of taxation, for the billion and a half offer is an offer merely to pay on account of uncollected and future taxes to be devised with the influ ence of the industrials in the govern ment instead of by the present plan drawn up under socialist Influence. From the ministry of finance the world learns that the government Is still collecting taxes of two years ago and cannot collect all existing Zhesond that should he in etiervhamei 97 o j (M!Lf sashstsfc m- Gm-L. ltLt mmLlft m I wmii in tW wU0 I t hit T n-olltU UU Urn.

The govern ment is already on this road of paper marks which has no horizon, but Is willing to stop where it is. Its pur pose was to halt on the road by pass ing in the reichstag a gold standard law which was a form of confisca tion by tha state of unearned incre ment. The industrials are willing to shoul der this great burden rather than let the government confiscate their un earned increment at will. The Munich Industrial conference has closed its open sittings by voting that the en tente's reparations ultimatum be ful filled to the utmost possibility and that the billion and half gold credit plan be carried through. Closed ses sions have now begun between the great industrials, on the one side and Minister Rathenau on the other. That explains why the reichstag is delay ing the action on taxation.
