FLAMING YOUTH
DISCUSSED

The home and public opinion
are two important forces in guild
ance of school children, Stephen
E. Kramer, assistant superintend.
ent of District schools, told the
Cooperative Education Associa-
ton of Virginia at its twenty-sixth
annual meeting in Richmond last
night.
Flaming YOUTH" he said,
"is a phrase which we often hear.
Why must this picturesque phrase
mean the extravagances, the law
lessnesS, the sensational?
"As a man thinketh in his
heart, so is he. and public opinion
is a real force in shaping the
thinking of youth"
Many children, Kramer said,
will be failures, due to ambitions
for which they are entirely unfit.
The home and the parents. he
said, hold the responsibility with
the schools for the life work of
the children.

UPHOLDS
j. s. LEVY
ON Gifts
BY ARTHUR HACHTEN
Universal Service

Taxes imposed by the Federal
Government upon gifts, as au.
thorized in the internal revenus
law, yesterday were held con
stitutional by the Supreme Court,
thereby saving a large source Of
revenue for the Government.
The decision was given in an
appeal by Joseph H. Bromley Of
Philadelphia, to avoid a tax Of
S20.598 on gifts totaling S565.30o.
Justice Stone read the courts
opinion, which found three jus
tices dissenting. Justice Suther.
land read a dissenting opinion,
to which Justices Butler and Van.
devanter subscribed.
Argument was advanced by
Bromley's lawyers that the gifts
were not made in contemplation
of death and that the tax was
illegal, because direct and not
apportioned; also because 1t
lacked uniformity.
The majority opinion Of the
court was that the tax was not
a direct tax and, therefore. it
did not need to be apportioned.
Justice Stone said:
"The power to give cannot
be said to be a more important
incident of property than the
power to use, and even though
differences in degree may be
carried to a point where they
produce distinctions in kind,
the present levy falls so far
short of taxing generally the
uses of property that it can
not be Iikened to the taxes on
property itself which have been
recognized as direct.
"Tt falls, rather. into that
category of imposts or excises
which. since they apply only to
a limited exercise of property
rights, have been deemed to be
indirect and SO valid though
not apportioned.
"It is suggested that the
schemes of graduation and eX-
emption in the present statute,
by which the tax levied upon
donors of the same total
amounts may be affected by the
size of the gifts to individual
dOnees, are so arbitrary and
unreasonable as to deprive the
taxpayer of due process.
But similar features of the
State death taxes have been
held not TO infringe the Four
teenth Amendment, since they
bear such a relation to the
subject of the tax as not to
preclude the assumption that
the legislature, in enacting the
statute, did not act arbitrarily,
or without the exercise Of judg.
ment and discretion which
rightfulIy belong to it."
Justice Sutherland in his dis
senting opinion said:
"TO me it seems plain that
a tax imposed upon an ordinary
gift, to be measured by the
value of the property given
and without regard to any quail
flying circumstances, is a tax
by indirectiOn upon the prop
erty, as much for example, as
d tax upon the mere possession
by the owner of a farm, meas
ured by the value of the land
possessed, would be a tax on
the land.
"To call either Of them an
excise is to sacrifice substance
to a mere form of words"
