No Bungling in Massachusetts
THE Massachusetts state police moved swiftly and precise
ly m the capture of the abductors of the McMath girl in
the Cape Cod region last week. There was no bungling; the
. culprits were in the keep within a few hours after the po
lice learned the girl had" been restored to her father. Now
.Judicial processes must be observed, but the probability is
: that the villains will soon receive their punishment. That it
will be severe is scarcely to be doubted.
The success of the Lindbergh kidnaping has prompted
other desperate characters to obtain money the same way.
: while the risks are srreat. the rewards are also great. in tne
last case some $60,000. And the criminals have this advan
tage that the ones expected to provide the ransom are so dis
traught over the safety of their loved one, that they are al
most forced into league with tne kidnapers. Tne lather 01
r the McMath girl, for example, had agreed not to disclose the
girl's return for 48 hours, and was Imng up to his agree
ment out of fear for reprisals to his family.
Whenever a maior crime is not solved the public is apt to
criticise the officers of the law. The New Jersey police have
come in for harsh censure for their failures in the Lind
bergh case. Not only-did the abductors go unapprehended,
out tne Doay os uie cmia iay ior wee as uuuiawaeu,
a short distance of the house. The police doubtless justify
themselves; but the success in Massachusetts ought to serve
to compensate the New Jersey failure, and to warn kidnap
ers that the arm of the law is long, and such wicked deeds
may not always be carried out with the impunity of the
Lindbergh case.
Counties to Pay State
"I OOD old Linn county is the first to remit the first-half of
VH its state tax, ana otner counties are getting reaay to pay.
If the sales tax is adopted in July they will not have to send
in the last half, because the sales tax is a substitute for the
property tax.
Some counties have been protesting against giving the
state the preference on tax collections. Many counties In so
doing will be forced on a warrant basis. They would pre
fer to "pay as we are paid", that is distribute the tax in-
i come among state, county, city, school and port district, just
1 as it is received.
The answer to this is that the state is the sovereign
unit, and that its credit should be preserved. While the cre
dlt of other taxing units should also be maintained, the in
terest of the state is paramount. 1
This is also true; the county which is the tax collector
. gets all the interest on delinquent taxes, which as a general
rule fuDy compensates it for advancing the state's share.
While the other taxing districts do not get this interest, they
are spared all cost of collecting taxes, because the county
does the work and makes the turnover to the subordinate
"L districts.
In bad times like the present, the system doesn't work
perfectly by any means; but on the whole it is about as good
; a plan as may be devised. -

Elves Abroad!
ulTHILE many in this country are keeping their eyes
ff glued on the stock ticker and are experiencing elation
, over its antics in past weeks, the advice is timely that tney
raise their gaze and watch events in Europe. With the dol
lar dropping to dizzy depths, the future of world trade is at
stake. The Roosevelt program will succeed or fail, not on the
domestic but on the foreign front. It is in that field that the
real battle is being fought, and so far with no indication
of victory.
France has refused to pay the December instalment of
the war debt until a moratorium is granted for the June
payment, which Pres. Roosevelt is quoted as refusing.
3: The united States has been womng hard to get Jsng
land to azree to a tariff truce pending the London confer
ence. But the conservative British ministers, unrestricted by
the assurances of Premier MacDonald, have declined unless
they get a truce on the June debt instalment.
This country stubbornly adheres to the position that it
will not discuss war debts at the economic conference. That
foredooms the conference ta failure. With that a failure, the
outlook for the Roosevelt inflation program in this country
looks gloomy indeed. Not that we will not have inflation;
but that it cannot be controlled.

At noon he came home. He had a

His hands were hot and dry and his
gray eyes glittered with (ever.
As she helped him off with bis
clothes Mary Faith observed that
he had bought himself a new shirt
ssd s new blue end white polka-
dotted tie. He had been wearing
polka-dotted ties exclusively the last
few weeks. Evidently the blood girl
in the drug store admired polka dots.
"The things a wife finds out about
th woman her husband cares fori"
Mary Faith thought bitterly as she
closed the top drawer of Kim's
dresser upon the tic
Mary Faith s indignation vanished
when she saw that he was sick.
"Oh, gosh, but I'm glad to be
here," he sighed as she helped him
to bed. "No place like this, Mary
Faith"
She went out into th hall and
telephoned Dr. Thatcher.
"Kim's sick," h told Mrs. Far
rcli, who was just coming in from a
trip to the library, bringing four
books and a box of licorice drops.
"I've telephoned for the doctor. It's
best to be on the safe side."
"Oh, absolutely V agreed Mrs.
FarrelL She was all agog at the
thought of seeing Dr. Thatcher. By
the time the doctor arrived, she had
changed into s clean bouse dress and
had established herself in s chair at
Kim's bedside, where she sat look
ing much too large for the small
neat room.
"Well, doctor, what's wrong with
our boy? Just a little touch of sore
tnroat, 1 imagine, she said com
fortably, when Dr. Thatcher had
gone over Kim's chest with a stetho
scope. "He's always having a sore
throat, you know."
Bet Dr. Thatcher said it was not
sore throat this time, but acute
bronchitis. He looked gravely at
Mary Faith when he said it
"Keep the room warm and open
the windows from the top, so that
there'll be plenty of fresh air, Mrs.
Kim. And don't let this fellow smoke
or have anything but water and
broth and orange juice. IH send
up some medicine."
His orders sounded simple
enough, but Mary Faith found them
anything but simple to carry out
For Mrs. Farrell opposed her at
every turn. When Mary Faith
opened the windows from the top,
she closed them.
"Who ever heard of letting cold
air blow in on s sick person P she
wanted to know. And she was all
for giving Kim a sweet thick egg-
nog, instead of orange juice.
"An eggnog never hurt anybody,"
she declared and went on mixing one
ia a tall gtass. "Besides Dr. Thatcher
used to order them for Kfanberley
when he was s little boy."
"That was twenty years ago and
doctors have changed their ideas of
diet and treatments since then,"
Mary Faith pointed out But she
might have saved ber breath, for
Mrs. Farrell paid no attention to
her.
And so things went on for
week, with Mary Faith doing her
best to carry out the doctor's orders
and Mrs. Farrell doing her best to
thwart her st every turn. But at
the end of the week, in spite of all
this, Kim was better. He got up for
Sunday dinner and afterward sat be

citlxens of th means of living.
Ther is no other course of action
for thos citlxens but th law of
self defense. Th only thing they
can do nnd live is to ignore th
Judges ruling oven as th Judge
has Ignored nnd nullified th ac
cepted law. When th farmers in
Iowa took action to protect them
selves from starvation nnd de
manded a moratorium of debts,
which was granted, it was accept

doe not giv him. It is Impossi

by one class, to be obeyed by as
other class. Ths Judge could do
nothing els but obey th re

wealth owning class. Ths farmers
can do nothing else but Ignore and
disregard th Judge's decision.
