PRE-CONVENTION DISCUSSION
On the Agricultural Draft Program

United States and hence prices the world
market. In the second place the increasedl
use of agricultural machinery will tend to
increase the domestic surplus. (The increase
resulting from the increased use of machinery
will be counter-baanced to only a minor de-
gree by such decreases in production as may
be concomitant with the expulsion of sections
of the American agricultural population from
the land) In view, therefore, of the increas-
ing world surplus (the immediate cause of the
present depression in Argentina, Australia,
and Canada-to mention only the outstanding
non-domestic examples) and the probable
growth in the domestic surplus through the
increased use of agricultural machinery, the
decline in the surplus which would result from
increased wages for the proletariat would be
only relative in character-it would be de-
cline in relation to an increased surplus. 4
The use of "sovency" to describe the]
post revolutionary situation - when financed
capital and its institutional corollaries and it's
exploitation Of the agricultural masses have
been abolished-might be noted as inadequate.

TAXI INSURANCE
CASE IS APPEALED
Utilities Commission Seeks
Dismissal of Injunction Re-
fused by Justice Wheat.

The Public Utilities Commission,
through Assistant Corporation Counsel
Robert E, Lynch, today noted an ap-
peal from the order of Justice Alfred
A. Wheat of the District Supreme
Court making permanent the temporary
injunction recently granted in the suit
of F. 3. Smith, a taxicab driver, who
questioned the right of the commission
to require him to give security to in
demnify his patrons and the public
from injuries resulting from the opera
ton of his cab.
The commission filed motion to dis
miss, which was denied by Justice
Wheat on the authority of the decision
of the District Court of Appeals made
four years ago in the Harlan case de-
nying the jurisdiction of the commits
sion to make the order.
No subsequent legislation on the sub
ject has been passed, so the court held
the commission still without power to
make the regulation. Smith was rep
resented by Attorney Leon Robin.
The Utilities Commission would be
given authority to require taxicab
operators to furnish proof of financial
responsibility and also would be en-
powered to fix minimum and maximum
rates for cabs under a bill introduced in
the Senate by Chairman Capper of the
District committee.
In recommending the legislation to
Capper, Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chair
man of the commission, said the au-
thority to establish minimum and max
imum rates ''is of importance in the
District because of q threatened taxicah
rate war, indications Of which have al
ready been brought to the commission
attention"
The bill would require operators OF
cabs to satisfy the commission Of ability
to pay any claims that may be lodged
against them for damages.
The commission told Senator CappeH
that last December it issued an order
requiring all cab operators to furnish
proof of financial responsibility, either
by showing adequate net assets, by
bond or by insurance, but the order was
contested by one operator. The commits
sion explained the District Supreme
Court issued temporary restraining
order.

BLIND SENATOR WOULD NOT GIVE
UNDERSTANDING" FOR EYES
SchaII, SightIess ri Years.
Says Seeing Brain Is "Weak,
FIabby Thing"
Depth of Vision Is What
Counts, He Declares in
Spurning Sympathy.

The story of a 21-year struggle
against the handicap of blindness and
of an effort to continue the practice of
law through the assistance of his wife
was related today by Senator Thomas
d. Schall of Minnesota.
Speaking over the Columbia Broad
casting System, Schan explained he lost
his sight at the age of 80 from an
electric shock, and asserted that after
being blind for 81 years he wouldn't
trade the understanding" he has
gained "for all the eyes in the world"
He said the first thing every man
who loses his sight thinks of is to quit
and that if it had not been for the
love and the tender understanding of
my brilliant little helpmate and class
mate think would have quit"
Blind Man Is Ever Alert.
He added that when he became blind
he asked his wife if he should sell lead
pencils and she replied:
Il should say not, Tom. We're going
to practice law. I will be your eyes.
You have your profession. In short
time, am sure, you can try lawsuit
as well without your sight as you could

MANGANESE FIRM
AWARDED $97,1@.5D
U. S. Controller General Or.
dered to Pay, Despite
Old Tax Claim.

Justice Frederick l.. Siddons of the
District Supreme Court TODAY filed a
memorandum opinion directing the is
suance of mandamus against ] r.
McCarl, controller general of the Unit
ed States, to compel the payment of an
award of 97,l39.50. with interest from
December 9, 1925, to David Halstead,
receiver of the American Manganese
Manufacturing Co. of Philadelphia. The
award had been made under the war
minerals relief act and McCarl refused
to direct payment on the plea that the
company was indebted TO the United
States for an additional corporate tax
for the year 1917 amounting to $685.
633.01, with penalty of Sill 1891. IS.
The controller general sought to absorb
the award as partial payment of the
alleged tax. The receiver brought suit
for mandamus.
Justice Siddons rules that the tax
claim of the United States was out
lawed, because no attempt was made
to enforce it within five years from the
filing of the tax return, March 80, 1918
The Government waited until years
IL months and % days thereafter before
making an assessment of the additional
tax. The court holds that the statute
began to run with the filing of the tax
payers return and not from the date
of the assessment, nearly five year;
later.
The United States having no valid
claim against the award, Justice Sid
dons declares, there remained only the
purely ministerial duty in McCarl to ap-
prove the payment of the award, anC
he is so directed.
The court pointed out that since the
dictation of the memorandum the Dis
trict Court of Appeals, in the case Of
the Alameda Park Co. of Los Angelo:
against the commissioner of internal
revenue, has confirmed the views ex-
pressed in the opinion.
