ABUSES OF STATE SOVEREIGNTY Many serious-minded citizens question | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN a Leentsy the wisdom of the states in exercising | some of their inherent sovereign rights. They feel that these rights are often grossly abused; that in passing laws peculiarly ad- | | vantageous to themselves they frequently | injure the economic and moral well-being of their sister states, Among the outstanding abuses of sovereignty now demanding solution are the diverse laws affecting the granting of | divorces, and those providing for personal | state income taxes. Many are of the opinion that the only | solution of the problem growing out of ‘the wide diversity of divorce laws is a further yielding of states rights in an amendment to the Federal constitution placing the regulation of divorce proce- dure under the National Government. Others believe that reform can be better | movement | effected by a strong moral against lax divorce laws. The personal state income tax laws present a more complex problem. Their unfairness, if not viciousness, is seen in what is taking place as a result of the situation existing in the three states con- tiguous to New York: Connecticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

The estab- | lishing of a residence in another state by a person for the purpose of cheating the state in which he conducts has his major income, out of taxes is not only a technical and often fictitious eva- sion, but also one that carries with it bad moral implications. of the perpetrator adversely affects estate values as well as commercial industrial cheated.

Indicating that many take a second look. They are still running trolley cars in New York but will soon dispense with them. Key West discarded them many. years ago. t Oddity in the news: Germans and Frenchmen went swimming on their re- | spective banks of the Rhine, in plain view | of one another. Comparisons are being made with the heroism of the Poles at-the Westerplatte, (who have just surrendered to the Ger- mans after a bitter siege), with the Greeks at Thermopylae and the heroism of the} Americans at the Alamo, the little Texas mission at San Antonio, Texas. However, | the heroic Poles surrendered, and Ther- | mopylae had its messenger of defeat, but | the Alamo had none+all fought to the | death. Germany, too, is:one of the debtor nations owing us a considerable sum of | money, but it is not for loans. It is-for the | - costs of the American Army of Occupa- tion and the awards of the United States- German Mixed:Claims Commission. Cuba, | too, owes the United States a large pile of fhe.coin of the realm. Uncle Sam thinks he is a wizard of finance whenever as a Sfact he is.a'sap.

But there is a moral to many of these problems. Selfishness on the part of states often results in the gradual yielding of their sovereignty to the Federal Govern- ment through Constitutional amendments. This of course has meant and will mean greater ard greater concentration of gov- ernment at Washington. WORLD SERIES OF 1905 As the 1989 world series approaches, sports writers are digging up stories of famous baseball classics of: former -years, and the feat of Ghristy Mathewson who pitched: three shut-out games in the:seties of 1905, is recalled. This was the first world series in | which the New York Giants of the Na- tional League participated, and _ the second played by teams of the present major leagues: The first was -played in 1903, and won by the Boston Americans over the Pittsburgh Nationals. won the National League pennant in 1904, but Manager John McGraw refused to play the Boston Americans’ for the world championship that year. In 1905, however, McGraw consented | to play Connie Mack’s Philadelphia Athle- tics, and sent Mathewson to the mound | for the first game, which he won, 3 to 0. | The Athletics won the second. game, and | Mathewson was called on to pitch the | third, winning 9 to 0. New York also won’ the fourth game of the series. Mathewson’ | pitched and won the fifth and final game, 2 to 0. In the three games Mathewson al- lowed a total of only 14 hits; walked 1, struck out 13 batters, and held the Athle- tics scoreless. There was nothing phenomenal about | this performance so far as any individual } game was concerned, but to win throes games of a world series without allowing a run was-something no other pitcher has ever done, and in that respect it made: baseball history. ‘ | the Federal Government levy the tax and : The Giants |° Con | CHRISTIAN’ SCIENCE SOCIETY 327 Eiizabeth Street Sunday school, 9:30 a.m, Sunday morning service, o'clock. “Reality” is the subject of the!
