THE BOWLES CASE, A
THE testimony of J)r. I'iiiiI Cooper in the reeent JjowJok Hear
ing in I'ortliilid rtt'iimiistriilt'u why there Ifj'so muoli'dissat
isfiir'tiini with criminal prou'i'clnre in 'thin country.
)r. L'nopor first tokl the police one Htory, then confessed the
story wus untrue, and loid another one, which fitted in with the
prohable facts; but a few days later, when the inquest was held,
repudiated the second story, and when faeed with his eonfes-
Kioil, fell hnck Upon the
remember.'' it. . - i ' . :. ' '
What (i farce! If in such !an important .'case, .in which he
look miHi a prominent part, Dr. Cooper could not remember.
011 ONK (lny,wliiit lie luiil said LESS than a week before, then
his mental condition is sn-.h that nothing he said or miht say,
.should be worthy "of belief. . ' ' ' '"'Jj. ' '.,
' ; ... . : ' '
OUT of cpiir.se )r. Cooper COULD reinemlier. Kveryone knows
i that, inelndinfj tho doctor liimsnlf. His fpnvepiont inabil
ity to do so was on the advice of his attorney, supported by
k'Kal red tape, that has no bound and fettered Americai) juris
prudence that the securing of the truth, and the attainment of
justice, are repeatedly sacrificed to aid tno criminal in escap
ing punishment.
In Knirland such a farce would pot he possible. For over
there t,he. court has the power, nt any time, to take control of n
ease, remove it from the maze of lej(al technicalities, and place it
ill an atmosphere pf reason and common sense. '
The United States started where Kngjland started, from the
basis of the common law, but thrnii(.'h the years they have drift
ed far apart; England insistini' upon a square, deal for the ac
cused, but concentrating upon the securing of justice; while
this (country hns concentrated upon the protection of the ac
cused, regardless of jilstieo. ' 1 ''
' '' ''
TllilS has copie to be particularly I run in a ease like this tri
aiiKle tratiedy in l'ortlinid, where the accused are promi
nent sofdiilly, and have 'plenty of money at their command.-
, It ink'es no particular imapiilatioii tp ic,ture what would
hftve huppeiu'd if this tragedy had occurred in u Eiver Front
lmltfini,' hopsc instead of in a fqshioiinlilo'-hpqrtnirnt jh the ex
elusive residential district. Tho man in the, case would have
been thrown into a cell, not placed in a hospital suite where he
was allowed the freedom of the building, and while tho woman
might have suffered n nervous irenVdown, she would scarcely
have ecil allowed the same sanitarium comforts and privileges.
And no "Dr. Cooper" would have, befcn' on Jinnd ready to forget
anything that might embarrass the accused couple.
''.''''
'T'H'AT is what money does in the land pf the free ijiii) tho home
of the brave. And until this ppwer of nioney to thwart and
defeat justice, is destroyed, disrespect for our courts and the
bjw will ' continue, and so will what ve conipltieently term
the "crime wave." "' ' .
If i country eVer needed a complete legal house denning,
this country needs it today. Hut while there is considerable
talk about court 'reform,, littlo or nqtliing is dpiic about if.
What the country needs obviously is rent leadership, another
"T. H." to do to Ainerbnn courts whn,t Theodore' ;l(oosevelt
did to Amcrie.nn linsiness.. " ' f . , v v. .-.!.
But where is he? Nero . fiddled While Rome.'. htirnnd, and
what leaders we have are milling about in Washington, inter
ested solely ip bettering their political fortunes by badgering
tnd pestering their country's President. '
RUSSIA'S 6-YEAR PROGRAM
13 1'XiARDLBSS of one's views on ooinmnnism, no person who
wishes to bfc' w'cll iufohilo'd' should fail to study with
great interest, the progress of thn Russinii Soviets 5-yenr pro-
n-" "' ' ' .
It is really the most dramatic and extraordinary experiment
ever conducted in the history of tho 'world. Russia is attempt
ing to do in five, years, whnt other countries have done in
nearly ns many centuries, and attempting to do it, in an
ENTIRELY NEW WAY.
' The aim of this program is tn industrialize Russia, as the
United States is industrialized transform it overnight into
a bilge manufacturing plant on one hand, and n hugo commonly-owned
mid operated farm on tho other. '
And thiN to he ncisomplislied hy un entirely now method,
(iliminating all profit for the individual, all industrial com
petition, going about the task precisely as' capitalistic nations
go about war conscripting man power, appropriating raw inn -terliils,
concentrating all national resources and energies upon
victory in tlis ease' victory over the old capitalistic, order,
and over what might he termed poverty aud degradation.
OK COURSE there is much more to it than this. Hut to
cover the subject thoroughly even adequately would
take volumes. One interesting feature however, gives an ilium
hinting sidelight.
For example:' privato competition is eliminated, and also
private profit. Hut Russin provides a substitute, hy trentiug
business as a sport, and organizing factories very much as col
lege football teams are orgnni.cd.

IX Los Angeles yeslerdny for exnmplo, twenty-two husky
young men worked their hearts out for victory on the grid
iron, while hundreds of thousands cheered them on, frni the
stnnds and from nil parts of the country. They didn't "do
and die" for money, but for an iden--the triumph of their
nlmn muter. -. - .,.''
So in the Russian factories. The young workers, at least
theoretically "do or die" for an idea, the Soviet idea the
new freedom. '
. And they are revnrded precisely as Anier'teaii, football teams
lire rewarded, not by money but by honor and glory. Tho
Karl Marx factory in Leningrad for example, wins in produc
tion over tho AM.'O. in Moscow, it is acclaimed hnmpion.
the workers are given n ne dining hall, unit three "stars"
are awarded traveling scholarships abroad.
Do yon get the idenf Interesting isn't it extraordinary too.
WILL IT WORK? Well, we don't think it will at IcnM we
don't believe it will ever work in this materialistic country.
It may work in Russia, for Russia isnot a western nation, but
is essentially oriental a nation of mj sties and dreamers.
However, whether it works or not. it IS interest iuu, and
from the standpoint of worS progress, it is uinpiestioiinhly
tin most exciting experiment

I peal of the eighteenth amendment.
; but not one of them, we are sure,
could tell how such a referendum
could be held. There Is no constitu
, tlonal, and could be no atatutory
i means of holding such a vote on
I the authority of congress, except
, possibly In the DUtrlct of Colum
bia, which la under the govern
ment of congress. It would require
a constitutional amendment to au
thorise such a nutlonal vote, and
an amendment to submit the repeal I
of the amendment Itself would be I
a tirupler thing than. that. .- Dr.
Wilson can scarcely be;unnware of!
the fact; that we hove no "nation-!
al" voting In this country. All elec
tions, e'en that of a president of
the United States, are state elec- i
tlons, or one held under the au
thority and the action of the
state's. . 1 ' i -' 1 ' .
It m"y be regretted, especially
hy .the - opponents of prohibition;
that thia is the fact. If It were pos
sible to hold a legal national ' ref
erendum on this subject it is alto
gether likely that It would go
against prohibition. The great
mosses of population are In the
"wet" states. New York alone
would roll up a majority of a mil
lion ngaintt prohibition. The up
wards. of 7 millions population of
Illinois, the more than 2 millions
of Massachusetts, the 3 millions of
New Jersey, the 3 millions of Wis
consin, would swamp the vote by
a full score of supposed "dry"
western states. As everybody knows
the southern states, with their sup
pression of the Nepro vote, cast n
small vote in proportion to their
population.
The nearest approach that we
have to a national referendum Is
the presidential election, and that
Is not based on the populnr vote,
but on the vote hy states for presi
dential electors. More than once in
the history: of the country Presi
dents have 'been elected through
the electoral college, though a ma
jority of .the .peorfle have voted
ngnlnst them. It I no doubt true
that a no-called national, referen
dum might 'be produced if the nu-,
thoritles of all the states were -to
decree sqeh an election within their
states, but even If such a referen
dum were brought about It would
have no enacting fore whatever.

Tlie Two lalrs of PanlH
Tlrure Barton quotes a wise man
as Haying that the duration of an
average major depression 1a "meas
ured 'by the life of two pairn of
pants." When the depression comet;
on the average man ha two suits
of elothe. He cuts down on his
buying once more and production
starts upward in response to the
demand. For the average map 1
numbered hy the million.
- The explanation Is too simple,
but It does Indicate the underlying
fact that as goods are worn out
and replacement buying set in. In
dustry responds.
Another nomewhat similar fac
tor enters Into the present situa
tion oauaed by the development of
Instalment buying. When the crash
came a year ago the purchase of
new goods wa curtailed while peo
ple were making Installment pay
ments -an .goods .already bought.
Reports of .Installment. and finance
companies'- Indicate these payments
.yero kept - up, with some exten
sions, of time, and that littlo more
.than a, normal percentage of goods
was surrendered.
The tlmo in which Installment
payments are made runs from sev
en to twelve months. So it Is about
time that consumer purchasing
power tied up in installment buy
ing In 1929 he released with the in
ducement for more buying In the
fact that goods now are cheaper
than a year ago. It is estimated
that the Installment debt outstand
ing at the end of 1929 was 3 bil
lion dollars.
As this huge resource begins to
ho available for buying once more,
and as the supposed two pairs f
pant begin to show patches, it Ik
logical to suppise that business
will feel the effects. (Kansas City

"Many Indians make Quito their
permunent residence; many come
and go from the rural districts
with the Quito sun. In tho market
place tho bright shawls and pon
chos of the natives add color to
the piles of fruit and vegetables,
homemade dolls and dyed cloth.
Some of the hronxe skinned visit
ors, particularly those who special
ize in selling blankets, prefer the
streets to dispose of their mer-
Phqndlae. Nearly nil of them wear

saturated the capital city with
their customs. The principal
square. Plaza Mayor, Is luid out in
Spanish style with a Spanish gov

nate facades of Spanish churches
