OUR CONSTITUTION If the oratorical contests which are being held in various sections of the country foster the idea that the Constitution is perfect, they are likely to be decidedly harmful, perhaps even vicious; for in order to maintain the welfare of the public, which is the dominant motive of a true democracy, our venerable Constitution must be con stantly changed and re-interpreted Had not the Constitution of the United States been made a changing, living instrument of justice, it would have been thrown overboard long ago. Law is a means of co-operating more effectively. It is a method of defining consequences. Consequences of certain acts have changed, therefore it has been necessary to alter our Constitution constantly. Justice Louis D. Brandeis has taken the place of Oliver Wendell Holmes in making the Constitution of the United States the greatest, most pulsating legal document of all times. These men, together with other liberal justices, have entrusted the Constitution to the people, not the people to it. They made the tenets contained in this famous legal document applicable to ever-changing conditions. They have made the Constitution the practicable means of bringing about true democracy. INCOME TAX WEAPON America has a unique way of meeting out justice. At times criminals seem to be able to "get by" with almost anything, but as soon as the income tax law is evaded, the wheels of American justice whir. Al and Ralph Capone and a number of their benchmen were imprisoned for income tax violations, although attempts to convict them on other charges proved futile. Because of this fact, the report that the income tax law may be used against the kidnapers of the Lindbergh baby is viewed with interest. This may be a potent factor with which the kidnapers have not reckoned. The invoking of the income tax evasion laws may be the ultimate solution to the Lindbergh puzzle. American justice does seem queer at times. MAKE PEACE POPULAR At the period prior to two nations declaring war, public leaders employ press and pulpit to work the inhabitants into a frenzy of patriotism and hatred. The Fourth of July type of orator flourishes throughout the land. Tons of patriotic ink are spread on tons of paper to carry the message of self approval and hatred. Every resource in the nations is pointed for war. But suppose on the eve of the war the leaders adopted a different attitude. Suppose that pictures of the men torn and maimed and killed during the last war were flashed on the screen before the public. In place of patriotic speeches, let the passionate words of war veterans crying for cash compensation in order to exist and support their families be heard. Let records of criminals who learned to kill in war and kept killing during peace time be brought to public attention. Briefly, let the makers of war revile the results of the last war with all the zeal and fervor they spend in creating war. Isn't it possible that public sentiment might be turned so strongly against war that people would demand that nations settle disagreements in a peaceful manner? SECURITY France in her fight for security is hindering the work of the disarmament conference. She does not seem to realize that the "eye for an eye; tooth for a tooth" rule of justice is obsolete. Premier Tardieu of France assailed the proposals advanced by Hugh Gibson, the American representative at the Geneva conference. Tardieu said that the only way to security is common action against the aggressor. This would mean another war to end all war. Most people have seen the utter futility of this kind of war. France still fears Germany and is suspicious of every move which is made to lessen present French superiority. As long as this attitude is maintained by France, little in the way of tangible results can be expected of the world disarmament conference. Until the French and the Germans cease to fear and hate each other, the peace of Europe will be in constant jeopardy. These people should learn to be citizens of both countries, thereby becoming important factors toward world prosperity and peace. ECONOMIC READJUSTMENTS It is generally agreed that one of the things which would help end the depression would be a complete economic readjustment. The big trouble with this remedy lies in the fact that everyone attempts to make his own individual adjustment when and how he sees fit, so that there is no uniformity. People have been in the habit of taking wages in long that they seem to think it is a step backward to have to lower them, even in the face of the fact that prices have changed. Many people hate to lower their prices or wages because they actually do not know how to go about it. A lady was recently heard discussing wages she was paying and when she heard that her friend was getting the work done for less money she asked: "Well, how do you go about it to lower wages?" We have become so used to making our wages higher to keep our help that we think we shall be without help if we even suggest a lower wage. This is not true now, and is one of the things which is keeping us from balancing our budgets to fit our incomes. Small Canadian farmers are facing the same problem that confronts the small farmer in the United States. He has built his whole farm on the assumption that wheat is to sell for a dollar a bushel. A trend back to the simple life cannot help him. He must get his money out of his wheat or the bankers will take his land, and he will be forced to start in all over again. THE SMALL FARMER The banks don't want the land. They have no use for it unless they use it for corporation farming. If they do take it back they will have to sell it for something like the price it is now worth, and not what was paid for it during the war. Corporation farming can be done on large tracts of land at a profit, even with prices as they now stand. But, if this is done what is to become of the small farmers? Something will have to be found to give them a living, for corporation calling calls for machines and not men. One solution to the problem would be a readjustment in the prices of products, another might be the readjustment of the land values so that the value of the land and the things it produces compare more favorably.

PSI CHI: Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: Your dramatic critic can handle words in an entertaining way. I read his review of "Scholastic Scandal" and remarked at his cleverness. I still think he is clever, but I am wondering where he came from and what the dramatic criticism we were belied. I had no decided intentions of attending the show and fewer still after reading your review, but it so fell out that I did attend Wednesday's performance about reservation of any kind I say that the audience has ever seen and produced show I have ever seen and I have seen three at my own alma mater, which is just three times as large as K. U. and should have three times as much writing and acting Talent Award in an opinion if generous laughter and aplause of an audience means anything "The music was tuneful, the lyrics catchy, and the book good enough,"—which is a perfect example of daming wit. The same three harmonies were the work of the composer she deserves a great deal more for her work than the word, "tuneful." The lyrics, for the most part, were devoid of any sense; while there were a few lines of the book that showed inexperience, the author had a freshness and smoothness that more than made up for a few errors. "There was one violation of good dramatic writing, however. And that is that the characters were hung on the book. Your critic will satisfy courses that you know, what those particular courses contain, but I'd rise a dime against your critics' dramatic judgment that they say not only because of the development in a musical comedy. Being a graduate student from another school, I have no burning interest in his K U affairs, but it seems a capacity to produce such a show as "Scholastic Scandal" should suffer at least if more interested in flaming his own tricks than in giving a fair and con- Our Contemporaries A Graduate Student. Kahoma Daily: BAD DOLLARS FROM GOOD BUSINESS MEN Lincoln Steffens in his autobiography dispels the theory that governments are naturally crooked. He claims that governments let alone would be more efficient and honest than private businesses. He shows that it takes thousands of dollars from good business men to keep bad politicians corrupting the government. This money comes from those businesses and vices that must have certain privileges before they can operate. Abolish privileged businesses and there won't be anyone with the money or the need to corrupt governments, or interfere with the ownership of public utilities and service corporations and it will control business controlling government by corporate Our 40c SUNDAY DINNERS are just the thing you have been looking for along the line of delicious meals— Try one of our luncheons 35c Jayhawk Cafe 1340 Obio Phone 509 Also fountain service "In the spring a young man's fancy" --at Yes and a maiden's also.
