hearing Of the House Judiciary
Committee on resolutions to bar
aliens in counting population

Congress broke up in row yes
terday.
After Beck (RJ, of Pennsyl-
vania, and Hoch (R), OF Kan
sas, had clashed over the reso-
lutions-Beck taking the side Of
the aliens Chairman Graham
announced the hearing adjourned
to next Wednesday.
Demands Vote At Once
Sparks (R.), Of Kansas, a com.
mittee member, jumped to his
feet and protested against de-
laying the hearing that long. He
demanded that the committee
vote Immediately whether to re-
sumo hearings on the resolutions
today.
At this point LaGuardia (R0 -,
Of New York. interposed a point
Of order, which Graham sus-
tanned. Sparks continued to call
for a vote on his motion. Com
mittee members and spectators
filed out. with the Kansan con-
ttnuing his appeals.
Two forces are clamoring for
adoption of a constitutional
amendment barring aliens in the
count for determining how many
Representatives each State is en-
titled to have-prohibitionists,
who hold industrial States. with
their alien population, have too
many members, and States which
would gain under the proposal.
False to Liberty"
Adoption Of such an amend
ment would Strike an ak at

Beck declared. He continued:
"YOu would be false to the
fundamental conception Of lib
erty, if you say a man who
comes here and helps create
wealth, pays taxes and is bound
by our laws, is not entitled to
representation, even though he
cannot vote.
Hoch insisted that the 1000, 900
to 100000 aliens have no right
to q part in determining represen-
tation in Congress.
New York State has 1000, 900
aliens, which gives that State four
more Representatives in Congress
than it would have were the aliens
not counted, Hoch said.

They included United States Industrial

OPINION ON TAX
POLICY IS VARIED
Increases Urged In Some
Quarters, but Protests
Are Also Raised.
BY BRADLEY w. TRENT.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 4.-Whether
in convention hall, business Office, din
ing room Of the home, the favorite topic
of discussion and conversation today is
not simply depression problems in gem
eral, but specific subject that is al
ways close to the hearts and the pocket
books Of the public-taxation
A sharp cleavage of opinion on taxa
ton Is apparent in two representative
gatherings here this week. At the con-
Vent1on OF the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers, during a sym
postum on business stabilization, the
discussion centered on the use Of taxa
ton as the most effective agency for
bringing about sterilization through It's
power OF redistribute wealth and in
come. At meeting of the Chamber
OF commerce OF the State of New York.
its Committee on Taxation submitted a
report demanding drastic reductions in
expenditures by Federal, State and city
governments in order to relieve the tax
payer Of heavy burdens.
New York Expenditures.
According to the Chamber of Com
merce report, expenditures of New York
State have increased 236 per cent since
1920 and its bonded Indebtedness has
risen so per cent.
This increase Is out of all propor-
tlon TO the increase in population and
the value OF the States manufactured
products or its increaseStn wealth" the
report states. 1T is ridiculous to think
government expenditures can 20 on in
definitely like this"
The report points out that although
more than 10000 900 Americans are of
voting age, Federal income taxes are
pald by fewer than 2,500,000 of them
ana tnat ABOUT $3.50, 900 persons pay 81
per cent OF the total income tax.
AT the engineers convention speakers
on the economic, financial and ind1s.
trial aspects Of stabilization contended
tnat the central defect of capitalism Is
the lack OF systematic or successful
mechanism OF income distribution-that
Is, dividing the products of industry
between wages and profits. This. it was
asserted prevents balance between
saving and spending, consumption and
production, upon which stability de-
pends
The remedy, according to one econo-
mist, Is to tax away with suitable in,
come SurtaX rates and inheritance taxes
an excess corporate savings and surplus
lndlvloual income that cannot be spent
by the recipients on consumers goods;
or replacement of obsolescent equip
ment, and spending this surplus through
Government channels for the produce
tion OF free social income by building
PUBLIC works, parks. museums, recrea-
tion centers and roads.
Many Suggestions Expected.
AL OF these enterprises, it was
pointed out, do not offer commodities
or services for competitive sale, but in
payment Of wages they release purchas-
ing power for other goods.
From all appearances, Congress is
going to have more sources of advice
on taxation problems during the COM
ing session than ever before in the
history of its deliberations.

PLAN KENT JUVENILE COURT
Chestertown Group Names States
Attorney Collins Chairman

Members of a committee recent
ly appointed by Governor Ritchie
to determine the advisability of es-
tablishing a Juvenile Court in Kent
County, Maryland, such as is being
done in other counties of the State,
have organized with the election of
States Attorney Stephen R. Col
Inns as chairman. Mrs. Thomas
Massey has been named secretary.
Other members of the committee
are Mrs. Earle A. Barnes, DR.. Hen
ry G. Shippers and Fred G.. Usilton.
The committee will make a recon-
mendation to the Board of County
Commissioners, which is charged
with the establishment of the court
and the payment of its judge, who
would be appointed by the Gov
ernor upon recommendation of the
committee, after study of condi-
lions in the county has been made.
Some residents have pointed out,
however, that there is no need for
the establishment of the court be-
cause of the few cases that would
come up for decision, all of which
can be heard satisfactorily in the
existing magistrates courts of the
county. Many of the taxpayers in
the county are opposed to the Gre
alton of any other offices at pres
ent, because of the probable in
crease in taxes. The Board of
Commissioners has given no init
nation as to its attitude upon the
question of creating the court.
