SEN. JhO. H. BAhKHEAD
Four Mentioned As Successor to
 Dead Senator
By FRED II. GORMLEY
 Montgomery Bureau The Age Hera

.f
 Montgomery, March special.sn Four rersons have been mentioned as the suc- cessor Of Senator John II. Bankhead for the short term which will intervene be- tween this time and the special eeiction, which must be called by Governor I<ilpy.
 The governor Is given authority by law enacted in 1919 to appoint d senator oniy For such time as may pass before pans can be made for an election. Few per- sons were inclined to make their wishes or preferences known at this time, but 1t became known Monday afternoon tnas Governor KiIby will consider the names Of four persons, they being Frederick 1 Thompson of Mobile, A H. Carmichael of Tuscumbia, l.. E. Musgrove of Jasper and B. B. Conner of Birmingham. Others may be mentioned later. It is certain there will be a free-for-all fight for the office, as the person nominated by the democrats will have the advantage over all others in future campaign for the position.
 No one knows what acticn will be taken by the state democratic executive com inittee regarding the vacancy, but the best bet 1t that meeting will be callei at once and provisions made whereby Senator Bankheads successor will be nominated in the primary May 1. thus removing the necessity fer another pri- mary. In the event the nomination is made at that time, q general election would be called for twenty or thirty. days later for the ratification of the choice of the democrats
 Governor .Kilby and W. D. Nesbitt. chairman of the state executive com mittee, declined to comment on the va cancy Monday and armour ced that noth- ing would be done until alter the funeral of Senator Banlllread. Beth expressed themselves as being shocEed by the sud- den death of the senator Governor KilbY is expected to go to Jasper for the fu- neral and if something should prevent his. going he will designate another s his personal representative.
 Among those likely to enter the pri- mary for the full urexrired term are Former Governor Erpmet O'Neal of Bir- iningham. Copgressnlan UT IIeflin Of the Fifth district, Capt. Frank $. White of Birmingham and Ray Rushton of Montgomery.
 While the name of Musgroye is men toned for the vacancy, many believe he will not be considered because of past utterances in his campaign against Sena- tor Underwood He has been quoted as saving that he cares little for the United States senat orship, but does desire to defeat Senator Underwood. If this be true he will be forced tc continue his contest with Senator Underwood, even if the vacant senatorshp be offered him.

OPPOSED TO PRINCIPLES

We submit that the conception in voived in the bill of complaint, that kn amendment duly submitted by congress on the vote of two-thirds of each house and duly ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the states is still subject to judicial review and may be held for naught through judicial action by virtue O. process of implied restrictions upon the amending -restrictions which thus set up by judicial decress would be unalterable by any constitutional pro eess--is a conception of the most ex- travagant character and opposed to the fundamental principles of our govern nient. No principle of judicial action can possibly be invoked for sustaining such an authority.
 .sThe truth is,' the brief concluded. there is nothing left biit question of political policy with which this court has no concern. If any restriction upon the powerJ could be implied there could be no duplication in the sense of a rule of law which would justify judicial de- cree denying validity to this amend nlent. "
 Attorney General Rice in his brief 6e- eiared the prohibition amendment to be revolutionary. and direct invasion of jurisdiction and power of the states.

STATES HAVE RIGHT LEVY INCOME TAXES May Impose Tax on Non- Residents Who Get In- come From Property
 In State
By Associated Pres.

Washington, March i.--f;ight of the states to impose income taxes on non- residents, provided they sre.in harmony with Those imposed on residents, was upheld and defined today by the su- preme court in two decisions.
 In case from Oklahoma, the court held that d state unques tfonably had authority to levy income taxes against residents on incomes derived from property within the state.
 In New York, however, the court de- clared such taxes against residents must not be discriminatory.
 rhe Oklahoma income tax law was sustained and the New York law was declared void in so far as it denies to non-residents exemptions which are given New York citizens. 10th opin- ions were given by Justice Pitney, with Justice McReynolds dissenting in the New York case
 In both suits were involved the ex : emptions. similar to the federal income tax law. provided for married and sim gle persons
 Distinction between the Oklahoma and New York laws, it appears. was that the Oklahonia law gives non -resi dents and citizens the same exemptions, while the New York law denies to non residents exemptions granted it's own citizens. R@ rs X n the Oklahoma proceedings Charles B. Shaffer of Chicago sued the state auditor to enjoin collection Of Income taxes levied on income derived from Oklahoma oil wells. In the other case, Controller Travis of New York was en- joined by the Yale and Towns Manu- facturing Company, having a plant in Connecticut, from collecting income taxes from its employees without giv- ing them he exemption given New York citizens under the New York law

BOW TO IRRECoNClLABLEs

The decision to hasten action was reached when the,republican leaders, con- vipced the democrats would block rati- fication unless the article ten reserya- tons were ratified, determined to stand by their guns and insist that the reser- vation go into the ratification resolution without any change of substance or of language. In this reaffirmation they ac- ceded to a demand by the republicans irreconcilably opposed to ratification. who had intimated they might adopt methods of their own to wreck the re- publican programme If they saw signs of weakening V on article ten.
 The coup of the irreconcilables in thus bringing the treaty fight to a. truce was a virtual repetition of the move by which, several weeks ago, they ended the bipartisan compromise negotiations by bringing pressure to bear on the repub- hcan leaders when an agreement seemed imminent. Holding the balance of power. tEeir votes have to be counted on by inc republicans to adopt any of the proposed reservations. and in addition they are un- derstood to have pointed. out if their coun- sels were disregarded, they easily could talk the treaty over into the -campaign under the Senate's rule of unlimited de- bate

Both Sides Enter Into Plan to Put Pact Out of the Senate Into Cam

ey A,,,ci,,,d pr,,,

Washington, March l.-Convinced that for the present their labors to break the peace treaty deadlock are a waste. of time, Senate leaders moved today to get the treaty out of the way of pressing Legislation and to let the issues raised by the ratification fight go into the political campaign for decision.
 Under the plan agreed to, and ap- rarentiy acquiesced infby all elements of both parties. compromise negotia tions on the crucial reservations to article ten are to be dropped, readoption of the re- publican reservation programme of last session is to be completed as a formality, and then final ratification vote is to be taken to put the treaty out of the Sen ate and into the campaign.
 Some Senators predicted tonight the final vote, which, it is conceded by both sides, will record another failure to ratify. would come within the next three days. Among most of the leaders, how. ever, the prediction was that the smoul- dering debate would take at least the remainder of the week to burn itself out in spite of general co-operation to keep it sharply under control

THE READY SERVICE MEN

Ii was a notable feature of the ter
rible disaster in Wall street, that the
eX-service men seemed 10 be the first
to recover their presence of mind.
They knew what to do. This was not
merely because they had been
through scenes OF carnage and disast-
er and were used to them.
Ii was also because their expert
ence in the army made them quick
thinkers and practical in an emer-
gency. Former officers of the army
and navy were at work within two
minutes after the crash came, and
already were LOADING injured people
into automobiles and starting them
for the hospitals.
An incident like this proves what
many people have been claiming, that
men who went through the army ex
perience would be very valuable in
the eXigencieS of lilly he. Quick
thinkers count everywhere, and the
discipline Of the service created that
capacity.

In regard to the Memorial Tablet
to the World War Veterans, | am
fully in favor of doing all we can in
reason for them, and at the same
time remember the Spanish War Vet
Grams and also do not forget the Old
Civil War Veterans, who did more
and longer service for less pay and
favors than any of them, and made it
possible for the World War soldiers
to receive better treatment for which
| am glad. But as | understand it
the plan is to establish a Memorial
Tablet with all the names of the men
that are credited to this town dead
and alive. | think if that is done it
would be eminently proper to adopt
some plan to have ever ysoldier of
all wars that has been credited or
was born in St. Johnsburv on some
tablet. The people of this or any
other town should show no Partially
that will tend to cause any jealous
feelings between old Soldiers. | do
mott hink there is any intention to do
that. As we all know our Soldiers
Monument has only the names of
men killed Or died while in the SER
vice. In after years the coming gen
erations may like to know that there
were other soldiers that did good SER
vice from St. .Johnsbury, besides |
those whose names are on that Mon
ument and the World War Veterans. /.
Now would like to make this sug
geStion perhaps it can be done.

credited to this town and all born /
in this town that served in other

tablets. There were $40 Civil Wa"
men credited to this town and "a men
born here that served in other states. !
l do not know how many Spanish
War veterans were credited to this
town.
Surely the plan should be to treat
all who served their country in all
