Judees' Salaries,

We notice that under the new income
tax law the salaries Of State, county, and
municipal officers are exempt from taxa
ton. but not the salaries of Federal OFF,
GERS. Ii would seem that the salaries OF
all Federal judges before whom the ques-
ton Of the constitutionality of the new
law is likely to be raised ought also to be
exempted, especially those of the Justices
of the court of last resort-the Supreme
Court of the United States.

seats Sc. apart for the families of the
Pre- ident and Vice President were
also cupied. Outside the halls the
corridors were throne ed with visitors
anxious TO get into the galleries. and
they stood in long lines awaiting their
turn.
On the hoor of the Senate were fully
fifty memt ers of the House OF Repre-
scntatives. all anxious to hear what
the Senator fr IN New York had to
say upon the tariff question. Mr.. Hills
81 eech was dis appointing in that it
made no Gefinit announcement as to
his purpo. regarding the final vote on
the tariff bill, if such vote is ever
reached. 1t was exIected that he
would attack the President and some
Of the vi:ws of the admin traticn,
and it was also anticipated thai he
would violently a5sa.l the chairman OF
the Finance Committee and the men,
b RS who had directed the formation
of the tariff bill.
The Senator met the expectations
upon these points. for the opening
paragraph of his speech contained a
direct reelection upon the President.
Later along he criticised the Hawaiian
policy OF the administration and paid
his resIects to Secretary Gresham
with the declaration that the Secre-
tary of State was not a Democrat
Eventually he got around t. Mr.. Voor-
bees and the Finance Committee. and
he pitched in the Chairman in rather
pointed language. His remarks in this
particular were not such As are calcu-
lated to create harmony between tho
opposing factions on the Democratic
side OF the Senate regarding the pend
ing tariff bill. II
Senator Hills is criticised even by
some of his friends for having INDUCED
such a course at SO critical a time. Mr..
Hill read his speech from printed proof
slips. though he appeared to need the
copy only for occa ional guidance. his
delivery being a. flee and natural as
| if he was speaking extempOraneOusly.
| His voice and pronunciation were such
as to render every sentence distinct
| and fOrcible. He was fire, u entity inter-
rupted by applause.
| The main portion of his spc ech was
an argument against the income tax,
and it is regarded as unusually strong.
| Few of the Democratic members,
however. believe that the income
tax provision will be stricken out.
The Senator clearly intends to vote
against that provision Of the bill. and
| it is now UNDER t0Od that he will vote
| against the entire measure if the in
come tux is retained in it. In view Of
this fact it is reasonably certain that
Senator Hill may be counted among
the opponents of the bill upon its final
passage. That is the calculation by
! the friends of the mea sure since hear
ing his speech. Mr.. Hills speech on
Monday marks the beginning of a
critical period in the history Of the
pending tariff legislation.
