Isaiah 45: U5. The Uplift Upheld One of the uplift measures adorning our statute books, designed to purify mankind and make the world better by removing temptation by sumptuary law, is that forbidding th : transportation of fight films from one state to another, for violation of which Tex Kickard and associataes were last week fined $7,000 each. 1'ictures of boxing bouts can be legally shown in New York or in New Jersey, but if they are transported from one state to the other, that constitutes a high crime for which a $10,000 penalty and a prison sentence may be imposed. The films in question had been shown before Secretary Hughes and members of the Harding cabinet in the "little green house on K street," without arousing any protest, but the fact that they had been carried across a state line constituted the crime. The absurdity of the entire proceedure was apparent to Federal Judge Joseph L. Bodme of Trenton, New Jersey, who of course had no option but to impose sentence. But he declared : , In tills cane, who can say how tlio Government waa Injured The atatutcs were flouted, but who ot the citizens of the several states Wore hurt? Boxing bouts can bo shown in tho states where these - pictures were taken. Accounts of boxing mutters can be and are broadcast over the radio. Newspapers and periodicals carry the In formation and show pictures of the contestants. Many people who regard themselves as high-minded persons look at the pictures and go to the encounters. Still, a law has been violated and punishment must be Imposed. When a number of persons in this state consplro to violate the lawn of the state by taking advnntage of a fine Sunday for an excursion by train or motor to tho country or seashore, they flout the If.w. They do not expect to go to Jail. True, they do not do It for the gain of money, but for tho gain of henlth and pleasure. The Puritans thought the latter a sin. The court has no option but to Impose Sentence. The "moral" laws which infringe constitutional rights of liberty are however sacred and must be preserved or the government perish. So Rickard must pay the penally but Fall, who violated no such sanctified statutes in accepting $100,000 bribe for bartering nway $100,000,000 of the nation's property, escapes punishment. A Foolish Referendum The Portland News is sponsoring an effort to launch a referendum upon the legislative measure requiring that ten percent of the receipts of all state commissions be diverted to the general fund for state expenses. The announced inspiration of the referendum is the loss of funds by the state game commission, which will have to curb its irrespons ible expenditures a tenth. This diversion bill is an emergency measure necessitated to raise required revenue by indirect taxation. If referended, it will cause serious embarrassment to state finances for the next two years.' The state must cither go upon a warrant basis, or a special session of the legislature be summoned, to provide new sources of revenue. This referendum, like others proposed on taxation, can only result in embarassing the state and injuring it financi ally. It is therefore not the part of good citizenship to advocate it. Because the general public places the state's welfare above the game or other commissions, which can function if necessary on much less revenue than expected wi'h nobody the loser except job-holders, the referendum will defeat itself. . We do not believe that hunters and anglers, who furnish by their 'license fees, the game commission's revenues, are in sympathy with any such effort to cripple the state as thi referendum, although the commission and its employes probably are. The general public certainly is not, and would care little if the game'eommission, with its perpetual bicker ings over division of the spoils, wag wiped out entirely. The referendum will in all probability, force a needed reorganization of state finances. All commissions should be placed upon the budget system and receipts go - into the general fund. All appropriations should be made by the legislature and their expenditure controlled by state officers. The policy of giving spending bodies control of taxation and revenues is absurd, and leads to waste. BETTER.

I U b h m is ' Copyright 1924 George Matthew Ad.inu fflen, fftothers and Maids A Romantic Serial of Modern Life By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON The Light That Beckons LUlemay looked out of tha win dow at tha eold and dreary land scape. At that moment It seemed very much like her Ufa. Ona must be particularly cheer ful and anticipatory not to find the approach to the groat city of the Middle West depressing. No weia else on earth are the olfac tory nerves assailed with such dis agreeable odora as those that eman ate from the stockyards. Coming into the city one smells the abbatoin. Always a black fog of soot and dirt drops over the place. Mile after mile of brick cot tage bring 6ne to more mllea of tall apartment houses behind which one sees the belching chim neys of the city's great industrial life. Lille became more miserable as she neared the town. Something proased down her aplrlts. She felt that fate had something terrible in store for her when she reached the great city which was being more and more shadowed by smoke and dirt and clogged with odors as the sun marked its down ward path. Besido its gigantic manufactur ing interests, which loomed lathee, and larger her own affairs seemed as futi-le as they were infantile. 'The women of the houae of Vail are playing in hard luck," Lille said to herself Utterly aa she went again to her mothers room. She found Mm. Vail willing to appear awake. She had been bathed, massaged und coiffured by her maid and was again looking very well. ' Why are you looking so dole ful, my child?" she aaid with a smile. "Pleaso change your frock for wo ahail have some hours to stay In Chicago before our car will be ready for the Journey west. We can go down to one of the big hotels' to dine, and dance a tittle. I confess I am tired of the car I have already told Ovid and Mbs Norton of our plana. Maks your self pretty, my child; It does ono good to go away from the dust and grime of travel. I always re serve one of my loveliest gowns for such occasions as this." LUlemay had already noticed that her mother had donned for the first time a gorgeous restau rant dinner drabs. After telling her how wonderful she looked In it sho hastened to her own state room determined not to let her mother know any of her forebod ings. ' "Tomorrow will be time enough to tell mother about Uncle Ovid and liss Norton," she eaid to her self, "and as for Harold Kennedy that will have to work itself out." "As her mother was nil In dull green and gold she had Marie take out a filmy black lace with a sin gle ruby clasp en one shoulder of the round neck. When she had it on she found a ruby and dia mond bracelet, and pinned at the front of her black tlb'ht-flltlng tull-4itt,n a flaming ruby pin. When she mtfe llf jappearance at the door of the observaTivw. car she was aware that she caused quite a sensation. 8ho distinctly heard the Jnt iking of Harold Ken nedy's breath. "You are the most beautiful creature my eyes ever rested on," he whimpered. Her mother's eyes ealdened a little even when they rented upon her with admiration an I love. She, had overheard Harold's comment, j "You didn't say anything about my pew gown. plaintively. It la very lovely," ha anew tree "You are mora than ever like i beautiful green and gold moth.' I don't want to be a moth," an swered Mrs. Vail rather pettishly "a moth is alwaya soorching hei winga and probably crying, if w. could see her, with pain. Nov LUlemay would never mako yot think of a moth." "No," answered Nonnie who in terrupted because she thought th. conversation waa becoming mofi than aubllely personal. "Lillema; makes you think alwaya of a mod urn g'rl ready to face the world ' But not the flesh and the duv il," Interposed Harold with i smfie. "Perhaps I might even faci them it I had to," Lillemay anewei td throwing her arms around hei mother. "Come, little moth. To night you shall not hurt your wing: by even the lightest sorrow. To ninht you shall flutter and flam find be your loveliest and best. To nltfht you shall dance until you: little feet are tired. You shal laugh until the quirked corners o your mouth ache. You shall sei the lovelight in the eyes of nil o us, your friends a light whlcl thall beckon you alwaya but wil not burn you." "I never know my dear Lille may that you were a poet, thought you had the hardness am polish of a diamond or perhaps th flaming beauty of those rubles bu never tho delicacy and aweetnes of a rone." "Thank you Harold," said Lille may dropping him a little cour tesy. v rVivUiuiti tomorrow) Capital Journal WANT ADS .
