And if she has not stolen because
of her hatred of society, or because
she knows nothing else but stealing;
if she has stolen because she cannot
help stealing, then it is still a worse
arraignment of civilization that we
punish people who are the victims

is worse arraignment that we make
no provision for the training OF these

CLAIM OF JACKSON
TO SEAT IS Fought
Not Entitled to Remain in Senate
After Meeting of the State Leg
islature. Say Lawyers.
COMMITTEE TO MEET TODAY

| Senator Jacksons argument that he has
a right 10 occupy his seat in the Senate
until the end of this session Of the Mary
land legislature will be combatted by
briefs from two Of the ablest lawyers OF
Baltimore.
Announcement was made by Senator
| Kern yesterday Ihat the Senate Privileges
and Elections Committee had before II
already the views of William L. Rawls
that under no circumstances should Sena-
tor Jackson be permitted to remain a
member Of the Senate after the meeting
of the legislature.
This came out following an effort OF
Senator Kern to assemble the Senate
| committee for a preliminary hearing upon
the Maryland and Alabama cases. On
account OF other committee meetings,
however. the meeting yesterday failed.
call was issued at once fer a session
at 1880 o'clock this morning.
Amos Woodcock, counsel for Senator
jackson. was present yesterday to sub
init his argument to the effect that the
Maryland Republican had a right under
the terms Of the seventeenth amendment
to the Constitution to hold Office until the
expiration of the legislative session. He
announced this to the committeeman pres
ent but did not submit his brief.
Mr.. Rawls and Mr.. Machen have pre-
sented< the view of the Maryland case
held by these wh0 believe Blair Lee was
legally elected and therefore is entitled to
his seat at once. At the same time they
grasped the opportunity to show the
Senate committee that there is absolutely
no parallel issue in the Maryland and
Alabama cases. Mr.. Rawls made q special
point of this.
In his brief Mr.. Machen asserted three
propc sitions In the first he held that
Senator Jackson's tenure of Office came
to an end the day the seventeenth amend
ment was ratified: in the second he held
that it at least expired when the election
was held in the State. and In the third
he insisted that IL the other two argu-
mems failed, jackson certainly could not
hold office after the meeting of the Mary
land legislature.

NEW YORK TAX LAW

Commissioner Davies Cnticises Sc
cured Debts" Legislation on the
Grounds of inequality.

The secured debts" tax laws of New

report submitted to the President yes
terday by Joseph Z. Davies. commission
er Of corporations, in which tax legisla-
ton of the various States is reviewed.
Commissioner Davies points out that
the New York law has been severely
because II permits corpor-
atoms, upon the payment of a nominal
fee, to offer free of tax, entire issues
OF long term bonds, thus placing the
sale of tax-exempt railroad and indus
trial securities in direct competition wit.
the sale OF tax-exempt State, county and
municipal bonds.
1T has, however, been commended -
says Commissioner Davies, upon the al
legged ground that experience in New
York has proven that ct the previous
tax rate (one-half of l per cent? an an
nuel tax on, mortgages has had a de-
cided tendency to raise the rates of in
terest thereon; that bonds and other
taxable intangible personality have gen.
orally escaped tayation: and that the
annual yield froA this system is al
most new-found revenue. collected at q
comparatively small COST
Commissioner Davies points out that
there Is inequality in the present sys-
tenn, although he admits that, from a
financial standpoint, it has been pro-
ductive of large revenues to the State.
