Spain's Dictatorship
Nav Leave No Mark

From the Rochester Times Union
After the brief fiare-up of revolt a few
weeks ago. Spain seems to have again
settled down into stability under the
dictatorship OF Primo de Rivera From
time to time the dictator indicates his
intention TO withdraw at a date fixed
several years in the future, but he seems
TO be pretty firmly seated in the saddle,
none the less.
The Spanish dictatorship had its
origins, like that of Italy, In discomfort
with the pretenses and inefhciencies of
parliamentary government. But unlike
the italian movement 1t was not party
movement. 1t was personal enterprise.
Mussolint was borne into power by the
hordes of FasciSmo. Primo de Rivera re-
sorted to military stroke Of which he
was the sole instigator.
The two dictatorships nav, developed
along different lines. Both have accom-
plished much in the way of domestic re-
forms, 1t is true. In both countries the
railroads have been reorganized. and in
both the administrative services of the
state have been Speeded mp.
But In Italy there has been a COM
plete reorganization of government,
whole new system set up and made to
function, based upon the idea OF eco
nomic representation, and expressing a
new governmental method. Nothing like
this has occurred in Spain. Though
there is talk Of an advisory body to sup
plement the dictatorship, there is no
hint of any far-reaching interference
with the economic order, nothing re-
Sembling the Fascist corporations, with
their wide powers and large Place in
Italian life.
Fascismo will undoubtedly leave its
mark on Italian institutions, but IL is TO
be doubted whether personal Dictator
ship like that OF Primo de Rivera will
leave any permanent marks on the
Spanish state.

Oklahoma Seeks Court
Reform bv Legislation

From the Oklahoma City Times
Impeachment trials OF the three SUI
preme Court justices in Oklahoma are
ended and the three juriSts involved are
cleared by the Senate court of i'm
peachment. 1t would be foolish TO as
sumo that public confidence in that
tribunal was restored by these trials.
Justice Clark escaped custer by a mi
nority vote, and now there is talk of
perjury proceedings against witnesses in
the case of Chief Justice Mason. Many
people are still dissatisfied with the
Supreme Court as at present consti-
tuted, and to that feeling has been
added disapproval of many Senators
particularly those OF the minority that
made the removal of Clark impossible.
After that decision, no one seriously
expected either of the other justices
would be ousted.
Respect for high court and its rul-
ings must depend largely on the per-
Sonne1 and conduct of that court in
judicial matters. There is still need OF
court reform, as suggested by the COVER
nor. Part OF it, at least may be
achieved by the Legislature, not through
investigation. impeachment or trial, but
through providing a different method
of selecting judges. II they can be
nominated at special primary. and
elected on nOn-part1San basis, it will
be better for the courts of Oklahom
and the State will have taken another
step toward that restoration of conf
dence in Government that is one of the
chief goals of the present administra-
ton.
There is merit too, in the measure
providing for the removal of the Su-
preme Court commissions. That might
mean additional work for the Supreme
Court justices, but it will place the re-
Sponsibility Of appealed cases where it
properly belongs. and the work of the
court can be done with greater eff
ciency in the opinion of competent law
yers, IL this change provides a compe-
tent law clerk to assist each of the Su-
preme Court judges. Any effort to re-
duce the present number of Supreme
Court justices Is undesirable, in view OF
the number of cases on the docket, but
the docket might be lightened by in
creas1ng the minimum amount involved
In civil cases that can be appealed from
the District Courts of the State, even il
this requires constitutional amend
ment. This Legislature bears a large
share OF the responsibility of restoring
public confidence in Government. and
at least part of its effort should be di-
rected toward the courts.

Former Senator F.. c. WeinerT IS state tax COM
missioner. He was a lawmaker for many years. he
was chairman Of the state finance committee LOT
wears. He saw service in many departments OF gov
eminent. His was one Of the first names sent 70 the
senate for confirmation by Governor Moody when the
SON of Williamson county assumed the relns OF al
ministration. In his report to the governor ana lesls-
lature for the years 1877 and 1923 Tax Commissioner
Weinert said:
TT is not to be understood that your state tax
commissioner is opposed to a vigorous pohcy IN the
collection OF delinquent taxes. He does contend, how
ever, that In no small number Of instances deiinqueh-
cies are the result more Of exhaustion of ability TO
nav rather than OF disinclination TO respond to the
public need. Toward such delinquents the state IN
the majesty Of its great wealth and power can better
afford to be tolerant than oppressive. Certainly II
should refrain from violating its own doctrine. 10
crush down upon those who are already IN distress
would neither promote the general welfare nor insure
domestic tranquility"
Another excerpt from the report should have been
of informative value to the lawmakers in regular and
special sessions. 1t deals with the fees incidents. to
the collection of delinquent taxes. This is the recon-
mendation Of Tax Commissioner Weinert:
collection Of delinquent taxes should proceed but
IN a sane. sensible manner. The many fees ana
charges now permitted against the delinquent 5houla
be abolished. In particular that usurious provision IN
the statute providing that when property is sold for
taxes the purchaser thereof may charge 100 per cent
profit should the distressed delinquent wish 10 re-
deem, should be repealed. 1t has no rightful place IN
a democracy. The interests Of the Spectator are IN
no wise paramount to those Of the delinquent citizen
Although the provision Of the statute referred 10
seems to have gotten around the fact somehow sim
there is more in life than money. Dehnquents amply
able to pay should with a determined mind be made
to pay. Those who, due to adversely. are unable TO
pay should be given full opportunity q redeem, and
this with no usurious charges attached"
Commissioner Weinert has been a successful farm
err. a successful banker, a successful lawmaker. a con-
structive maker Of statutes. one Of the leading build
ers and developers OF his section. If the lawmakers Of
the Forty first read his report what action did they
take on his recommendation dealing with the collec-
ton Of delinquent taxes?
