Chicks! m THE MODERN OPHIH Undoubtedly the Federal income tax is the richest single bonanza ever tapped by a national govern ment. It is the modern equivalent cf tiie mines of Ophir, which poured I j their gold and precious stones into I jthe coffers of Kink Solemon. and of the treasure houses of the boutn 'American Indians, drained to aggran Idize the Kings. of Spain. For the last half of 1929, a total of $1,184,602,- 927 was paid in income taxes, an in crease of $171,531,330 over the same period of the previous year. That half-year collection 15 or 20 years ago would have been sufficient to pay the entire expense or running the Federal Government. When the income tax first went into effect in 1914, it yielded 360, 000,000, the receipts rising to 3,360. 000,000 in 1917. The next year, with the excess profits provisions attach ed to the law, receipts reached the staggering total of 32,800,000, ap proximately eight times as much as in 1917. The pinnacle of the war period was attained in 1920, when $3,900,000,000 was returned. At the end of the war period and with the abolition of emergency tax rates, the receipts declined. In 1922 they reached the post-war low level of $1,600, 000, 00, then began another climb to $2,300,000,000 in 1929. It is interesting to note that total jincome tax collections since the law .was enacted, excluding figures of last year, total more than $29,000,000, 000. So that on that one item Gf taxation, the receipts have been 'greater than the national debt rolled I INCOME TAX: -up by the United States during the These are properly called 'petty of- pens, like Mr. Grundy to be a in.n-i-U-ri.i vo- ti,..,, ic o svmni,nn fi.n?(." to be dealt with without a sylvanian.

But if the history of the i income tax repeats itself, that will ibe a mere momentary interruption ,to the dizzy asceut of in(ome tax fis" ures.

Says Blackstone in his Commentaries: And, however convenient this may appear at first (as doubt less all arbitrary powers, well executed, are the most conven ient), yet let it be again remem bered that delays and like Incon veniences in the forms of justice are the price that all free na tions pay for their liberty in more substantial matters; that these inroads upon this sacred bulwark of the nation are fundamentally opposite to the spirit of the Constitution; and that though begun in trifles, the precedent may gradually in crease and spread to the utter disuse of juries in questions of the most momentous concern. Following the English practice our police courts punish summarily dis- orderly conduct and breaches of po - lice regulations touching such ques- .tions as traffic, markets and the like. fenses. I jury. But the Federal Government possesses no similar police juiisdic- in it ie hmmd hv Artlrlo ill nf thp Constitution, which declares that "the trial of all crimes except cases of impeachment, shall be by jury"; land this guarantee is particularized jin the sixth amendment with respect to "all criminal prosecutions." Cer- tainly Federal prosecutions under the prohibition laws are "criminal prose- cutions, nor can any description oi "casual or slight" offenses take them out of that class. The expedient proposed by the Wickersham commission is the worst of a choice of three evils. Dean 'Pound, of whom the country has been I reluctant to believe that he acquires in such a proposal, admitted before the Senate Judiciary Committee that this is exactly what it is. Something has to be done to relieve what he tprmct n cprfoiKi Kifn.tHon in the Fed- eral courts, so the commission sug gests this. In order to dispose of the thousands of cases constantly aris ing and increasing, there must be hundreds of more District Judges, or a vast system of Federal police courts, or the abolishment of the constitu- tional guarantee of indictment and trial by Jury for the swift disposal of cases. Dean Pound says the ccm- mission rejected the first two because it does not believe a ponderous judi cial machine should be set up to re- lieve an emergency.

He says prohibition charges are peculiarly of that class which should enjoy the right of trial by Jury.

To pasture where some crystal river flows. Or like the barb sent whizzing from the bow To i dye with crimson drops the feathers of a bird That only wished to sing, then falling through the leaves. With glazed eyes closing, ere the song was heard. Once I recall an unkind word let fall. Bruised so a heart, no potion yet may heal. Choking a Bong and darkening a whole life, Rending the soxil like well w directed steel. Who would not offer the full reward of time. But to recall some hasty word once spoken. That he might bind a wound, hold back the unbidden tear Or mend with love a heart in sorrow broken! Clarence P.

"Tom" Reed of Maine, the economic intelligence "Czar" of the House, whose epigrams enlivened Washington in the gay nineties, explained in a phrase why the McKinley law broke the Harri son administration and brought Cleveland back to the White House: "The woman with her market bas ket." Disregarding the Senator from Pennsylvania, Mr. Hoover might well ,be anxious about the-woman sewing j"runs" in her rayon hose. She is the daughter of the market basket lady, and she has a vote. -:o:- It is just about as heart-breaking for a girl to finally tumble to the fact that, in spite of the ads. cod liver oil isn't going to make her calves plump enough to change short skirts from a horror to a joy as it is )for a wife to finany have to give up lall hope of her meai ticket ever get- !tjng out of tjie piker class. :o:.

ROY GREGG, Owner irr? lfF 3 W 3V H n A DIVINITY THAT SHAPES OUR ENDS" At CS Charles Evans Hughes looks upon the office of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court as the "greatest opportunity for service" in his monu mental career. And that "greatest opportunity" would likelv never have summer day in San Francisco in 1910, fail- ru ,u ' i-.uuau.j cost Mr Hughes the presidency. That at least was the interpretation in the anxious November days when sult on the early returns. California at last swung officially into the Wil ,on column. I There is no trace of slackening power in Mr. Hughes at 68. His nromgious capacity for work is the wonder and despair of his associates. "Straight as a cypress and tall as a birch tree," he radiates health and vigor with his springy step and mili tary carriage. How would it be with him, one wonders, if he had shaker. Hiram Johnson's hand on that pivot al occasion? He would have entered the White House under the grisly auspices of unavoidable war. The burden that broke Wood row Wilson would have been li is to carry. Four years of staggering responsibility. jWith the probability of re-election ex pending the tenure for another quad lieunium more exacting, perhaps, in its final demands than the battle's tumult and shouting. On Mprch 4, 1925, he may be seen in this historical hypothesis as mov ing out of the picture of affairs, worn jand weary, into the sunset of the ex-presidency. Perhaps Shakespeare was right. iSurely Mr. Hughes may subscribe to thedictum that "there is a divinity which shapes our ends, rough hew them how we will." Anyhow, in the future that beckons so invitingly, the political skid of 1916 may be ac counted a beneficient intervention, "whatever gods there be." :o: The JonrraT Job Department i squipped to turn out anything from T11in? rards to sale catatoes.
