Justice Butler aserted it was clear- ly within the power of a state to prohibit allens who had fiot declared thelr purpose to become citizens, or who cannot become citizens, from owning land. He held also that such legislation was not repugnant to the agreement made by this government with Japan. Justice Butler delivered the optin- jon, which held that the question was one entitled to be considered under the equity power of the su- preme court and be disposed of on its merits. Justice McReynolas and Brandeis took the position that the cases re- earding the leasing of land to Japanese should have been dismissed on the ground that no justiciable questions was presented. Justice Sutherland took no part in any of the four cases covered by the de- ciston.

The Dafty Chronicle thinks his Presence in Germany must immed!- ately create a focusing point for monarchist plots. No one attaches much importance to the undertaking of the prince or the German government that he wilt abstain from meddling in pol- ities and there is a pretty general assumption that his return means a bid for the throne. The Daily Telegraph's dtplomatic expert says Chancellor Stresemann engineered the return of Frederick Willlam.

Nov. 12.—A German note replying to the protest of the, coun- cil of ambasrmdors against the re- turn to Germany cf ex-Crown Prince Frederick William was re- cetved here today. The note is un- derstood to be of an unsatisfactory nature to the allies and the mem- bers of the ambassadors’ council were hurriedly notified to convenc this afterndon for its consideration. It is understood the German note takes the stand that Frederick W!!- liam pomsesses the same rights as other German citizens anf that the German government has no re- proach to make against him. LONDON, Nov. 12.—Great Brit- ain is not likely to take individual action looking to the ejectment of the ex-Crown Prince Frederick WIl- Mam from Germany.

It is fitting that on this day we should rededicate ourselves to “carrying on” by solemn declaration within our own consciences. To do your part today in this repledging to principles, pause for a moment and recall the principles for which our men went willingly to the chance of death—many to die. You remember the phrase on their lips and in their hearts: “a war to end war.” Yet wars are not ended. They went beyond the seas into a hell of death and destruction that their sons and daughters and the sons and daughters of their brothers might be spared a like horror in time to come. Yet today there ‘s no guaranty, no certainty that another war will not be forced upon this nation, or any nation, at some future time. The American Legion pledged itself at its last annual conven- tion to strive unceasingly for peace. This does not mean that we have joined the ranks of those so-called pacifigts of wartime memory. Far from it. As long as conditions may make war necessary to pro- tect our nation from aggression or oppression, we stand ready, nay, anxious, to answer the call to arms. But we strive toward an era when our nation and all nations may live and fulfill their destines without injustice, oppression or the necessity to protect themselves from such by force. The American Legion pledged itself to no one plan to end war. Neither does it ask that you do so. It is a question upon which opin- fons differ; each must uct according to his belief. But we do ask that you, upon this Armistice Day, take solemn resolve that you will leave no act undane or word unsaid that may ad vance, even in the smailest degree, the era of perpetual peace. You may not have the opportunity of speaking from a platform, but this does not excuse you. If you have one nelghbor, one friend, whom you can convert to the cause of pence and fail to do so, then you have not kept faith with those who “sleep in Flanders Fiel@s.” ‘There is an organization, internationa!, of fighting men of the al- Med armies. This organization has declared that, once brothers in arms, they are today brothers in peace. Nearly every nation which stood side by side in the World War is represented. Here is a nu- cleus. But the nucleus is not sufficient in itself. It requires the ac- tive help of world opinion. When the demand for perpetual peace is made, the business, the most urgent demand of every man, woman and child then will lasting peace come. I ask that now you solemnly enlist this greatest cause of all time, the ending of war. Thus, and thus only, can you keep faith with those who kept faith with you in the time of your greatert need. _ BY C. Hi. REIMERTH, Commander of Geo. W. Vroman Post American Legion Five years ago the sun of November 11, 1918 awakened the world from the dark hours of the grealest war in history to a day of great rejoicing that that war was ended and that hope, and the kindred things «which males life worth living, was in the (awning. There was rejoicing in the hearts of the loyal legion of our people who not being able to be in our ranks, gave wholeheartedly to the material things they possessed, and knowing Uttle or naught of the things which made our service precious and a.cherished memory, suf- fered the more in spirit, There was rejoicing in our hearts that no more of our buddies need face tho hell of battle, an% that we might lend our strength to the task of rehabilitating those who had given all but Ife itself, that we might with confidence look forward to home, and the precious thing home encompasses, In all probabilit there will never again be a day in your life fraught with so much happiness and with, so many possibilities. Thus with each passing year the memory of the day grows more sacred. The day has'a special significance to those whose privilege it was |] to sive some one Gear to them in their country’s cause, and {t behooves us, the living Legion, to pay due reverence to the Glorious Legion of the dead, and to carry on the burden of reconstruction they so nobly started. What a pleasure to know that the years have only strengthenod our purposes—to rehabilitate cur disabled comrades—to make this government of ours an enduring and trusted institution, and the world |] & better place to live in. What a satisfaction to know that our or- || ganization has the confidence of community, state and nation, that it is taking a great and active part in all things vital to our national welfare, that with each passing year it Is expanding its power for good and that hia organization of ours borne out of the sacrifice of thous ands of the best womanhood and manhood, is proving so worthy of its undertaking. MELLON WILL RECOMMEND SLASH IN FEDERAL TAXE Entire Range of Personal Income Taxes To Be Included In Reductions Sug- gested by Secretary WASHINGTON,, Nov. 12.—Federal tax revision under a program applying reductions to the entire range of per- sonal incomes and estimated to cut the nation’s tax bill next year by $328,000,000 will be recommended to Con- gress by Secretary Mellon.

Mr, Coolidge ia known to realize as much as do bis friends the im- portance of his first message and his first pronouncement of policies, nd for that reason he expecta to Gevote himeelf assiduousty té work upon thé document during the three weeks that intervene before the con- vening of congress. By agreement vith his secretary, Bascom mp, the executive will Mmit his laily appointments to only those of necessity and let nothing interfere with his worl, upon his message. The ground work necessary to the irafting of the message already bas been Gone. Six days a week ‘or three months Mr. Coolldge has been cenferring with officials and priv- te citizens respecting the problems be’ore the government. He has talked with experts in international affairs, with ratlroad executives and allroad employes, farmers, labor lenders, bankers, editors, politicians \nd with just plain ordinary citizens, In nearly every case the one who conferred witt: the president had the “ame experience—le presented bid views and then was closely ques- ned by the chief executive. The result is Mr. Coolidge has absorbed 1 lot of information on a lot of eub- jecis. With this information at hand he sat down today to write the message. The principal subjects to be treated In the messige have become fairly well known to these who have fol- lowed the course of the president's mind and the nature of his confer- ences during the last three months, They embrace agricultural relief, taxation, transportation, merchant marine, government expenditures, immigration, reclamation and inter- national affairs, including the world court and the recently negotiated conventions with Mexico, Three subjects would seem at this time likely to receive major consid- eration. They are agricultural re- Nef, taxation and transportation. With respect to assistance to the farmers, the chief executive is ex- pected by some to urge legislation to promote cooperation marketing and probably ask creation of an ag- ency, or authorization for an extist- ing agency, to sell American farm products abroad. The executive's tax propomals most probably will follow the outline of these announced today by the treas- ury department, with mach minor modification as Republiqan leaders believe are advisable. In the matter of transportetion, the president has received much ad- vice relative to consolidation of rail- roads and may urge legislation to that end, It ts reasonable to expect that he will not give any measure of approval to the proposal that con- gress by {ts own action reduce freight rates on farm prodnets tn: much as the tnterstate commerce commission has instituted an in. quiry to determine whether such rates can be lowered, The present immigration law ex- Pires next June and Mr, Coolidge has let it be known that he. will look to congress to maintain at least the present restrictions, International affairs, excepting the reference to the Mexico conven. tions seem to those close to the pres ident to be destined to occupy @ (Continued on Page Ten.)
