come taxes. Senator Glenn denied
that he had yet made any recommen-
dalton to the President, but other sup
porters of Mr.. johnson were insistent
that he should be appointed now.
though he has three more years to
serve of his second term as district
attorney and Mr.. Hoover, it was re-
ported, wants him to finish his term.
If Mr.. johnson is elevated to the
bench, his successor Is likely to be

thirty-four years old, has been one of
the district attorneys most efficient

ton of tax dodgers, acting as solicitor

TT THE Democrats in senate and
1 house follow the leadership of Sem
ator Joseph T. Robinson Of Arkansas,
their leader in the senate, they will
oppose any increase in surfaces and
any great increase in any Of the gov
eminent levies. Robinson says such ac-
ton by congress would approach con-
fiscation" and would be likely to pro-
long instead Of relieve the depres-
sion. He proposes instead a bond
issue.
Senator Robinson argues that taxes
should be raised solely to obtain rev.
enue and not for the purpose 'of dis
tributing wealth or reducing large for
tunes" He is opposed to general
sales tax. but would consent to sales
levy on luxuries. He said in his state
ment:
"The most practical method to di-
minish unemployment is to revive in
dustry. Increase in taxation is poor
method for overcoming depression. In
other words, while increases may be
unavoidable they cannot be expected
to contribute to the forces calculated
to restore confidence and courage in
the sphere Of investments and enter
prises."
He added that while he recognized
the necessity of balancing the budget,
he did not look for great reduction
in public expenditures.

think on other matters Of party pol
icy, but the liquor proposition is the
main one.
Needless to say, Mr.. Raskob himself
is thoroughly wet, and as he says in
his letter to contributors, he believes
the time has come "for the Democratic
party to face this issue squarely and
to present to the people definite plan
under the policy Of states rights and
local self-government."
The move was follow-up to his
presentation of the home-rule plan for
liquor control last March to the ma
tional committee. He evoked then a
bitter outburst, particularly from
southern leaders. many Of whom felt
deliberate injection Of the prohibition
issue was fine way to wreck the
party's 1882 prospects.
This time the drys again responded
with strong protests. Their board of
strategy, of which Edwin G. Dinwiddie
is executive secretary, issued state
ment which said "wet millionaires"
were bringing pressure to bear on both
parties to make their platforms wet by
threatening to withhold contributions
in the 1882 contest. =.
Some New Workers saw in the Ras-
kob QUESTIONABLE deliberate effort to
split the support of Franklin D. Roose-
welt, who is still the leading contender
for the Presidential nomination. Sen
ators Robinson of Arkansas, Hull of
Tennessee and Connally of Texas, in
terviewed in Washington, decried Ras-
kob's efforts.
The Democratic national committee
