TODAY AND TOMORROW FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE POLITICS Both major parties are tightening their lines for the Presidential campaign of 1932. The Republicans know they have a fight on their hands to retain control of the Presidency; the Democrats believe that if they can agree upon a candidate acceptable to all sections of the country they can win easily. That is frequently the situation two years before a Presidential election. It does not always follow that the "out" party wins over the "ins." Having possession of the machinery of Government is a great advantage. At the moment it looks as if it will be more difficult for the Democrats to agree upon a candidate who can rally all Democrats to his support than for the Republicans to mend their political fences. JONES "Bobby" Jones has at last answered the question: How can a man play golf all the time and still keep his law practice going? The answer is that he can't. Bobby is giving up golf, except as a means of recreation. It remains to be seen whether Mr. Jones will do as well in law as he has done in golf. He has proved that he has the important quality of thoroughness. Those who know him say he has a natural taste for law, and high intelligence. He will not have the struggle for existence which so many young lawyers face, for while his amateur standing has kept him from making money out of his game, he is to get a sum reputed to be a quarter of a million dollars, for making a series of while the President of the United States stood by his side and drank in the music which John Philip Sousa drew from the band which he has made famous years ago. Steps the other day and waved his baton. It used to be said of America that we were, not a musical nation. Nobody can say that today. Sousa came along at a time when musical taste was at its lowest ebb In the United States and wrote the stirring marches that will never die, with which his name and the fame of the Marine Band will forever be associated. The nation hailed him as its greatest composer. That was never true, but he was the greatest popularizer of music, back in the 1880's and 1890's, and he was, without doubt, the greatest band leader the world had ever seen up to then. INDIA Maulana Muhammad Ali reminded the British Government the other day that if England had listened to Edmund Burke she never would have lost America, and warned the reactionaries of the British Empire that unless they listened to him and his associates they would lose India. For the first time in history, all castes, religions and factions of the complex civilization of India united to demand, without mincing words, that their country shall have the same right of self-government, the same status as members of the British Commonwealth of Nations, as Canada, Australia, South Africa and the rest of the former colonies now enjoy. Representatives of India and of the Empire are sitting in on "round table" conferences in London, trying to decide India's fate. The reports of this gathering read as if the pages of history had been turned back a hundred and fifty-five years, to the time when delegates from this side of the Atlantic informed the ministers of King George III of the temper of the American colonists. The ministers of George V. are more likely to listen than did those of his great-great-grandfather. INHERITANCE The estate of Thomas Fortune Ryan will pay $17,379,291 to the State of New York and $4,382,072 to the Federal Government. There was somewhat more than any dollars, which is enough heirs to struggle along. No tax can be fairest on large inherited estates exempt small estates from When a man dies his owner. In the absence belongs to the state. Then it on by will is a private state, and not an Most states prescribe will do by will. The heirs custom, to reasonable pay have no right to complete steps in and takes a lie first for the benefit of no great fortune is accrued by the participation, directly, of all the people.

He has proved that he has the important quality of thoroughness. Those who know him say he has a natural taste for law, and high intelligence. He will not have the struggle for existence which so many young lawyers face, for while his amateur standing has kept him from making money out of his game, he is to get a sum reputed to be a quarter of a million dollars, for making a series of educational films on "How I Play Golf." That ought to keep him going until he has established himself in law. Probably Mr. Jones is doing only what his class and caste instincts and environment urge upon him. There are still too many people who think that being a lawyer is a more respectable way of making a living than being a golf professional. But it seems to me that we have too many lawyers now and not enough good sportsmen. BELASCO David Belasco, a San Francisco Jew who dressed like a Roman Catholic priest, was the father of the modern realistic drama. He thought that people on the stage ought to act and talk the way people do in real life, and that the settings and furniture of the stage ought to make the scenes look like the sort of places they were supposed to represent. Belasco's work in drama began about the time Mr. Edison invented the incandescent electric light. The electric light probably did as much as any other influence to change the drama from the old ranting pantomime into what it is today. It enabled the audience to see the actors clearly, and made facial expression and careful makeup more important than they had been. Belasco was the first theatrical producer to realize the possibilities of electric lighting on the stage and to shape his productions with the new lighting in mind. Today everybody in the theatre business, including the movie producers, follow the principles which Belasco developed. PROHIBITION All the reports from those who profess to know indicate that the President's Commission on Law Enforcement, better known as the Wickersham Commission, will report that the present Prohibition law cannot be enforced, and will recommend some changes. There will be more serious attempts made at the coming session of Congress to break down the "dry" law than at any time since it was enacted. There is little likelihood of anything being accomplished by the "wets" at this last session of the 71st Congress, but if the Wickersham report proves to be friendly to the modification of the present law, watch for fireworks when the Congress just elected begins its sessions.

FOOTBALL It took the appeal of charity to bring the Army and Navy football teams together. For several years the annual Army-Navy game has been omitted, because of a quarrel over points of sportsmanship. When the two teams meet in New York on December 13, it will be frankly for the purpose of helping to raise money for the relief of unemployment. Early estimates of the receipts indicate that they may run to a million dollars, or almost as much as the "gate" at the last Tunney-Dempsey fight. It is a strange but interesting kink of human nature that people will pay fancy prices to see a football game for charity, who would never think of giving the same amount of money outright. As high as $5,000 was offered for a box at the Yankee Stadium as soon as the Army-Navy engagement was announced. SCIENCE Elinstein, the German mathematician, acclaimed the greatest scientific mind since Newton, is coming to America to do research work at the California Institute of Technology. There are no national boundaries to knowledge. Science is international. The discoveries of every man of science are at the disposal of the whole world. Germany led the world in scientific research for nearly a century. Now the leadership has come to us. In another hundred years it may be the Japanese or the Australians who are astonishing the world with their discoveries. It makes no difference. Truth is truth, wherever found.

There will still be left somewhat more than a hundred million dollars, which is enough for several heirs to struggle along on. No tax can be fairer than the tax on large inherited estates. All states exempt small estates from this tax. When a man dies his property has no owner. In the absence of heirs it all belongs to the state. The right to pass it on by will is a privilege granted by the state, and not an inherent right. Most states prescribe what a man may do by will. The heirs are entitled, by custom, to reasonable participation, but have no right to complain if the state steps in and takes a large share out first for the benefit of all people. For no great fortune is accumulated except by the participation, directly or indirectly, of all the people. SHIPS The keel was laid the other day for the largest passenger ship ever constructed in the United States. It will be 705 feet long and will carry 1,300 passengers across the Atlantic in less than six days. It is to be followed by another ship of the same size. These new ships will not be the largest passenger craft carrying the American flag. Nor will our new first-class liners compare with the new ships which Germany, France, and Great Britain have just built or are building. It is shortsighted policy which lets our Government be contented to build less magnificently than do our rivals on the sea. For these new craft, like those of other nations, are built with Government subsidies. Perhaps the Shipping Board and the officials at Washington thought they would not have public support if they spent too much money on the new ships. In that, as in almost everything else the Shipping Board has done, they are wrong. The American people will back any really magnificent expenditure with prideful enthusiasm, but it has never been interested in economy or in second-rate achievements. Warning to Motorists During Holidays Calling attention to the fact that the business districts of every city and town in California will be crowded with Christmas shoppers, Frank G. Snook, chief of the division of motor vehicles, urges operators of motor vehicles to be doubly cautious in driving in urban territory during this period. Persons absorbed in the business of purchasing holiday gifts are likely to become careless and step in front of moving vehicles. Snook pointed out. "It is up to the motorist to cut down his speed in crowded shopping districts," Snook said. "The responsibility is his for the courts have ruled without exception that the pedestrian has the right-of-way." "Look out particularly for old men and women burdened with bundles who become confused easily in traffic. The older generation was not raised in the speed of this day and cannot judge the speed of vehicles with the aptness of younger persons." "Look out for women trying to carry one or two children and do their shopping at the same time." "Don't turn a joyous holiday into a tragedy." Citing the need of care in driving where large numbers of pedestrians use the streets, Snook pointed out that approximately 600 persons were killed and more than 6,000 injured in motor accidents in California involving pedestrians during the first ten months of this year.

It has and proved succeed it will be means of battling California. in Orange county a radio receiving right on his motorcycle. Every sheriff's office will be hooked up on a central teletype system, using the telegraph-typewriter. At four or five "key" points in the state, such as Los Angeles, Bakersfield, Sacramento, San Francisco and Chico, radio broadcasting stations will be established, with low wave lengths. Suppose a murder is committed or a bank robbed. Immediately the news will be broadcast to all officers in that locality. They will be able to establish blockades on the highways the fugitive is travelling. Experimental tests have already been made of this plan, from Sacramento. Traffic officers in Siskiyou and Imperial counties have heard their superior officers speaking as clearly as if they were nearby. To set up the broadcasting stations and equip all highway officers with receivers would cost $50,000, it is estimated. "But what is to prevent the bandits from having their own receiving sets and 'tuning in' on these broadcasts?" you may ask. Here is where the teletype system comes in. All sheriffs and police officers would be hooked together with these main population centers and the state division of criminal indictification. Confidential messages, descriptions of criminals and other information would be transmitted over the teletype. The radio would be used only in case of a statewide manhunt such as the one for the late William Edward Hickman, Los Angeles murderer. The last legislature approved such an arrangement, but the measure was pocket-vetoes when it was found the hookup could be financed out of the motor vehicle funds. But now, with the radio in prospect for the highway patrol, it is considered likely that a combination of the two will result. TREES ON COUNTY HIGHWAYS The county planning commission has applied to the supervisors for authority to employ a man to plant and trim trees along county highways. The commission proposes to give much of its attention to adorning the flat open spaces west of Santa Ana river with trees and not in orchard districts. State Forester M. B. Platt has told the commission that young trees may obtain from the state nurseries at a nominal price.
