legal beer and illegal is just $300,000,000 which
dyed-in-the-wool prohibitionists feel will not in
any way help balance the budget. Perhaps not,
but it will come nearer to solving the problem than
any other tax that can be devised.
And so, by placing a tax on illegal beer, the
House admits the existence of the bootlegging
racket-an illegal industry-but it would rather
see the profits go to other channels than those of
the government. As one writer has said, "Those
whom the Gods would destroy they first make
mad."

THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1932
College Students
'Study' Miners
ARLY this month a group of New Fork col-
lege students decided to go to Kentucky to
study the mining conditions there which have been
such as to flaunt both state and national super-
vison and have led to violence of nation-wide
importance..
Last wekk upon arriving at the site of the dis-
turbance they were told -to leave and that they
were not wanted necessitating a complaint to the
Governor because of mistreatment. The same re-
ception was given to Theodore Dreiser and others
who went to the backwoods regions to "study"
conditions there and as yet nothing very truthful
has come out.
We agree with Governor Horton in saying that
anyone wishing to venture into the mining region;
where the trouble is most intense, to seek permis-
sion and that no one should go there with bol-
shevist or communistic purposes.
The miners, who evidently have defied law and
order as well as all set sociological traditions, are
certainly not to be sympathized with for their
actions but when one considers the circumstances,
it is clear that there is just cause for their actions.
Ever since reports first emanated that people
were starving and that riots resulting in a number
of deaths had broken out, novelists, magazine writ-
ers, reformers, communists, bolshevists, sensation
seekers, and newspapermen have gone there to
"study" them. and possibly to get material for a
book or an article. The strikers clearly showed,'
that despite imminent starvation, they did not
want any interference and wanted to work out
their problems themselves.
No doubt they would have solved everything
had the right thing been done but with the super-
fluous and totally unneeded crowds who constantly
tried to "study' them they became provoked and
were put; in a state which prevented any helpful
action.
No more crowds such as have gone down there
should be allowed for they only complicate mat-
ters worse. If any help is forthcoming to the
people there it should come from the right sources.
College students, novelists, and others are clearly
not wanted. The miners are not right in some
of the things they have donebut they have proved
a very salient point to those who like to butt into
affairs that don't concern them-mind your own
business!
13) The scenery and the
costuming (articu-
larly Angell all's
front steps).
14) The J.G.P.
The London String quartet and Raymond Morin,
piano student in the School of Music, will give con-
certs this afternoon and tonight in Lydia Mendel-
ssohn theatre to close an active month of musical
activity.
Morin, who has appeared four times before in
campus concerts during the last two years, will ap-
pear in his recital at 4:15 o'clock this afternoon while
the quartet, which marks the final offering of the
Ann Arbor Chamber Music society's series of con-
certs, is scheduled for 8:15 o'clock.
The piano porgram, as announced yesterday in-
cludes: "Sonata in E Minor," Opus 7 by Grieg:
Brahms' "Sonata in F Minor"; "Two Preludes" by
Scrabine; "Funeral March to a Statesman" by Lord
Berners; Tansman's "Spiritual and Blues" (from
Transatlantic Sonatine); "Rhapasody in Blue" by
Gershwin; "Mazurka, Opus 30, No. 4." and "Etude in
C Minor" by Grieg.
The concert by Morin will be the last one in Ann
Arbor for him.

AT THE MAJESTIC f
"The Silent Witness"
Greta Nissen, as Nora Selmer, the wicked, plot-
ting, scheming vampire who is supposedly murdered
by the son of an English gentleman in "The Silent
Witness," is her usual seductive, snaky self with
fewer opportunities to act in the current vehicle.
And considering the way in which she plays her part.
it is just as;well.
A weak plot never provides ample opportunity for
effective acting. "The Silent Witness" provides fewer
opportunities than most weak plots, except for the'
father of the wronged young man, who lies on the
witness stand to protect his son. And Lionel Atwill
as the father, makes the best of these opportunities
Bramwell Fletcher, as the son, hasn't much to do
and does it nicely.
Probably the only really interesting shot of the
entire show comes, however, when a nondescript taxi
driver takes the stand and baffles the austere British
court with his too-ready replies that smack of weak
humor.
The plot finally leads, as would be expected in
such a case, to the confession of an eye-witness who
reveals to a not-too-surprised audience, that the
father and the son are not guilty, but the woman's
no-account husband. It, might be mentioned, as
further evidence of the limits of the production, that
the happy son and his intended embrace beautifully
as the curtain falls on the perennial happy ending.
The next Majestic show will "be another of those
zipping, zooming airplane pictures. All the others
have been good; we are anxiously awaiting this one.

RY fanaticism in the House of Representa-
tives ran high last week. Never has such a

gt years in Congress. After defeating a tax
egal beer, prohibitionists proceeded to put one
llegal beer.
'o lay a tax on malt extracts, grape concen-
es and other ingredients of the bootlegging
istry is nothing but a recognition of its exist-
. In passing the bill, the dry fanatics declared
the' bill would yield about $50,000,000 annual-
