whether a municipality may do as it
pleases, or whether muniripelities are
creatures of the state and competent
to act only within certain limits. We
recall that a vigorous effort was made
to authorize municipalities to require
licenses of trucks soliciting and de
livering for wholesalers. That act was
vetoed, but it does neft seem to affect
the ordinances of many towns; they
require licenses under one pretext or
another. What does suggest itself is
the question: If existing ordinances
are valid why did the legislature un
dertake to legislate on the subject?
Either the towns may do virtually pa
they please, dr they may act only
within limits. The present condition
indicates thir towns do as they
please. It ia difficult to reconcile cer
tain points of state law with certain
town ordinances. A municipality is a
chartered community, which contin
ues subject to all state laws, as a
creature of the state, and it may ex

call out even more millions, if she
had all the materials to make them
effective, There may be others—from
occupied territory, such as Greeks,
French, Dutch and Norwegians, who
would fight if they had the guns.
With three or four million fresh sol-, ^
diers, all ready for battle, the end 1 **
might come this year. Along with
guns and other munitions we need
ships to transport these things. So,
there is a vital and immediate prob-i

Most Americans are willing and
ready to do whatever may be neces
sary. Among the patriotic Americans
are millions of our fellow citizens
who are members of labor unions.;
No one should discriminate against
any American because he is a union
man; but he is not entitled to any
special consideration because he is a
union man.
