Income Tax Publicity.

An effort is to be made. it is under
stood, to secure at the next session
of Congress a repeal of the act which
requires the opening to public inspec-
ton Of income tax payments. The ad-
ministration is desirous. at least, of
obtaining from Congress a definition
Of the purpose and scope of the law.
overlapping provisions. AS it now
stands there is some question on the
score of the propriety of neWspa per
publication, inasmuch as the para.
graph prohibiting publication of re-
turns or parts of returns was left
In the law while the new provision
requiring the opening Of the names
and figures to public inspection was
being written into it.
When the income tax payments
were thrown open for inspection, and
publication followed, Indignation was
expressed in all parts of the country
The fact that the publicity provision
had been adopted by Congress and
ltidut Ddi III the law Dbe1l IOT-
gotten if. in fact. it was noted gen
orally at the time of the enactment.
So that the opening of the lists came
as a shock to the public. and although
they were scanned with avidity and
interest, it was generally felt that a
breach of confidence had been COM
mitted, as the returns had been made
through the Government on the old
basis of privacy. and that confidence
had been broken. The fault lay not
with the administration, but with
Congress in adopting the publicity
provision. Demand for the repeal of
that provision was Immediately and
loudly expressed.
eThe Congress which meets in De
oember will be the same as that which
passed the publicity law. Practically
no change in personnel will have
taken place. The question is whether
the public demand for repeal will be
needed.

votes is thus abolished-the indiyid-
ual vote will thus have the absolute
value of one vote in electing a. Presi-
dent.
In Congress allowing the President
or his cabinet the privilege Of the
floor of the two houses (and it re-
quires no change in the Constitution
to do this. only the invitation of each
house as now constituted, for each
house makes its own rules as to who
may have the privilege of the foor),
the man elected as President by the
direct vote of the people would then
have more influence in directing
legislation. This would be true be-
cause absolute publicity in legisla-
tion, proposed or pending, is a great
regulator and solvent.
heretofore, and at present as we'll
Congress, through its committees, in
vites cabinet officers to appear be-
fore the committees, where the cabi-
net officer may be questioned, but he
may not without invitation, advocate
bill before a committee. His pres
ence before the committee is there
fore entirely at the mercy of the
particular committee. These COM
mittee meetings are held in secret
that is the committee hearings are not
part of the Congressional Record
from day to day: hence the people
rarely know anything about what the
cabinet officer said who represents
the President
But IL the cabinet officer spoke on
the floor of each house, the press
would handle what he said as front
page stufr'-a news story-a fresh
news story-a big news story. Thus
the people would be Informed, and
hence could more intelligently ect at
the next election.
The measure and the man would
go hand in hand.

tions as sufncient and final. and has
proceeded in accordance with the
treaty as an accomplished and estab-
lished international principle. The
question arises whether the court can
go behind this fact.
On the point of good faith there
may be ground for judicial examina-
ton and determination, although in
that again the court may hold that
it Is for the executive and the legis-
lative branches Of the Government to
safeguard the United States against
violations Of omission or commission
Of an international agreement.
No citizen is barred from challeng-
ing either acts of Congress or treaties
on the ground of an invasion of
rights or a menace to public security,
which is the security of the individual.
The courts must heed such pleas and
determine them upon their merits,
provided the period of test and pro-
test has not lapsed. The question
arises in this present case whether
that period has passed. The arms
limitation treaty has been in effect
for months, and the United States has
already destroyed a number of ships,
some new and some old, to reduce its
naval armament to the ratio point. If
the treaty was not validly ratified
that fact should have been evident
and established before action was
taken in its execution by the United
States. In that event the court might
not deem the present protest as war
ranted and entitled to a hearing. If,
on the other hand, it has not been
faithfully executed by other govern
ments that fact may be of such late
development as to justify the present
plea and entitle the citizen plaintiff to
protest.
Questions Of law Of fact and of in
ternational relationship are thus in
volved in this case, which appears to
have been seriously presented, and
will probably be pressed to the point
Of decision by the highest court.

Senate Veterans.

In the death of Mr.. Lodge the Sen
ate loses it's dean. He was the Oldest
Senator in point of continuous serv.
ice, having taken his seat in that body
on the 4th of March, 1893. In respect
to actual service in the Senate, how.
ever, Mr.. Warren Of Wyoming holds
the record. He first entered the Sen
ate December I, 1890, or nearly "a
years ago. His service was interrupt.
ed. for his first term expired March 3,
1893. just when Senator Lodge was
taking his seat, and he returned two
years later, or March 4, 1895. Thus
Mr.. Warren's actual service in the
Senate exceeds that of Mr.. Lodge by a
little more than three months. Sena.
tor Warren now becomes the dean of
the upper house by virtue Of both
years OF service and Of age, being now
in his S1st year. A considera-
BILE gap occurs between him and the
next Oldest in service. Furnifold M.
Simmons Of North Carolina, who took
his seat on the 4th of March, 1901, or
Simmons colleague, Mr.. Overman,
and Senator Reed of Utah are tied for
third place in seniority, their terms
dating from March 4, 1908. Then
comes Senator La Toilette, with two
years less Of service, and close to a
tie with him stood the late Senator
Brandegee, who entered the Senate
May 10, 1905.
Eighteen Senators. or nearly 20 per
cent of the body, entered the Senate
on the 4th Of March, 1923, or subse-
quently. F'ifty-three of them, or more
than half, are now serving their first
terms. Some Of these have been re.
elected. One Of the older members of
the Senate in terms of service leaves
the roll at the close of the next ses.
sion, Robert l.. Owen Of Oklahoma.
Since the direct election Of Senators
was established by constitutional
amendment there have been more
frequent changes in the personnel of
the upper house. The average of sena-
torial terms has decreased. Doubtless
the average of age has likewise been
lowered. The passing of Mr.. Lodge
will tend to lower still further these
averages. Still the Senate remains, in
consequence Of the six-year period for
which each member is elected, rela-
lively a body of veterans as COM
pared with the House of Representa-.
tives.

Two Plans to Change
The Constitution,
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Edter Of The Star:
To paraphrase a current American
ism The voter said it with a ballot"
No matter how sincere Senator La
Toilette may have been in asking
that the people Of the United States
give the power to Congress to be the
final judge of it's own acts by allow
ing Congress to pass a measure over
the "veto" of the Supreme Court,
Mr. La Toilette must have known
fundamental change in our entire
scheme of government-to argue
otherwise, is sophistry.
To be logical Mr.. La Toilette should
take the ground frankly that our
scheme of government is wrong. On
such a ground the issue would be clean
cut. Other kinds of governments
are successful. The basis of the argu-
ment would then be the kind of gov
ernment we should have to give a
greater degree of opportunity for the
people to express their intention and
desire through particular representa-
| tives, and what representatives
should be the final court Of deci-
sion."
Probably Mr.. La Toilette only de-
sired to make it possible for the
people more Immediately to express
| their desire and to have more i'm
mediate control-to give greater pub
| licity to each act while it was in the
| process of formation and completion
! to make some one responsible.
| If that was his object two PROPOSE
| tions could be brought up which the
| people can understand and both are
| simple: Abolish the electoral
| college and elect the President di-
rect. 2-Give the President, or give
him through his cabinet, the right to
| the floor OF both houses Of Congress
to speak on proposed and pending
legislation. When the President or
| his cabinet should have the right to
the floor is mere detail
| The ELECTORAL college is not dis
credited, 1t is merely no longer of
use. It served it's purpose. but in
ventions of industry have made 1t
unnecessary, and both the leading
| political parties have agreed that the
electoral college could be dispensed
with without doing violence to the
| Constitution.
| In electing the President by the
direct vote OF the people direct re-
| sponsibility is partly accomplished by
making the political machinery more
responsive to the people-closer Coz
tact is had. The will of the majority
win be more nearly expressed Group"

The Nameless Hero.

Beneath a solid, simple mass of
granite at Arlington lies the body Of
a man who fell in the ranks of the
American forces in France during the
great war. Upon that tomb are placed
from time to time wreaths and other
symbols Of mourning for life that
was given in 4 nations cause. The
identity of the man is not known.
This body was taken from its resting
place in France and brought here to
typify the patriotism of the soldiers
OF America.
Souvenirs Of the esteem in which
the American soldiery is held in
France. in England, in Italy. in Bel.
GUM and in other lands are preserved
in the lobby of the ampitheater. close
behind the tomb Of the Unknown.
They were laid upon that last resting
place by representatives of those
other governments. Medals, crosses
and other decorations Of the highest
order Of honor are preserved in a
case, bestowed upon this nameless
man by governments and rulers.
These symbols bespeak the graft
tude felt by the people of all the coun-
tries which were allied in the great
war in defense of their liberty and
their territory against an aggressor
who knew no mercy and who had no
bounds to his ambition. They are i'm
personal. as the nameless one upon
whose last resting place they were
laid is impersonal. They are the
physical tokens Of the spirit of service
and sacrifice.
Armistice day is appropriately the
time for paying this tribute to the Tn
known Soldier. as a representative of
all his comrades in war, living and
dead. Six years ago today the guns
were silenced on the long battle front
and the world rejoiced at the close Of
the carnage and the dawn of peace.
Much has happened since then. A
long advance has been made toward
the reparation of the injuries inflicted
in the cruel struggle. 4 better under
standing has been established between
the nations. Despite setbacks and re-
actions, there has been progress.
For the living ones who passed
through the conflict there is the high
est regard and love. They have fallen
hack into the ranks Of civil life. TAX
ing up their duties as citizens, some
OF them disabled. some permanently
crippled. but most of them in full
health, better men for their service,
better In all ways for their sacrifice
and brave facing of death for right
eous cause.
Armistice day is a day OF memories,
and yet day of forward looking. to a
better time when war will have been
discarded by humanity as a needless
e*il, when reason and justice will pre-
vail in the affairs of nations. The
tomb Of the Unknown Soldier is a
token Of the i.ope that that day is
near at hand
