united States on certain questions.
Another justice on the Circuit court
commented on this statement In a brief
as filed by Washington tax lawyer.
Ignore the Courts
"H-m," he began. 1--WE knew tho
board of tax appeals did not pay any
attention to the rulings by this court,
but we did not know 1t was also ignor-
Ing decisions of the Supreme court"
Maybe" said Judge Soper, dryly,
they have been reading the Harvard
Law Review"
Every lawyer In Washington knows
that there Ia violent disagreement In
policy between the lawyers of the De-
partment Of Justice and those Of the
bureau of Internal revenue. As pointed
out in a recent dispatch, Jacksons pol
Icy Is to litigate, not to compromise.
One important case recently was de-
cided against the government Law
yers who had several different cases
precisely on all tours, 80 far as they
could see, were frankly Informed that
the government would not appeal, but
that 1t would not regard the case az
precedent
Which amounted, as Washington TAI
lawyers see 1t, to concession by the
bureau of internal revenue that IL they
were to take the case In question up to
the Supreme court the government will
lose again. Nevertheless, despite this
obvious belief on their part, they would
not compromise existing cases OF SIM
liar nature. They insisted upon max
Ing every claimant fight In the courts.
This is fine business for the tax law
yers. 1t makes big fees for them. For
1t Is the big corporations that fight
their cases through and do not have to
surrender. All that hurts them Is the
expense.
But the little fellows with precisely
similar cases, who do not feel that
the game justifies the candle, have to
pay. The expense to them OF lItigat-
Ing, fighting up through the courts
when the government appeals, would
be greater than the tax the bureau OF
Internal revenue Is seeking un1ustly to
force them to pay.

The Alternative

Hence Senator La Toilette Is deadly
serious when he says that congress will
either accept his boosting In taxes on
small Incomes or be compelled even
tually to tax food. Especially as La
Toilette knows also that the present
measure, even II changed 90 as to &C
tually produce the revenue the treas
ury says 1t must have, still falls very
far short OF balancing the budget
There must be tremendous increase
in taxes after election In order to have
the government taking In as much
money as 1t pays out.
OF course every other senator knows
this, too. but most of them are con.
fining their remarks to other subjects
Certainly Senator La Toilette Is the
only pro-New Deal senator who Is even
whispering about the need for greater
revenue, and honestly looking about to
determine from what sources 1t could
be obtained.
Almost without exception the sena-
tors going along with the administra.
ton ON the bin are simply doing
'chore. They know the present struc-
ture will not raise the money needed.
Many Of them privately agree thar the
bin Is apt to do great deal of harm.
Many senator who will vote for the
measure Is telling friends he Is afraid
1t will result In steering the ordinary
business cycle In the direction of more
violent ups and downs with better
booms and worse depressions, encourng-
Ing reckless spending In good years.
and forcing devastating economies In
bad years.

La Follette's Plan

The most amazing thing about the
senate's fumbllng around on the tax
bill Is that the one man, who down In
his heart comes closest to agreeing
with all the Roosevelt doctrines, is the
one who Is fighting for tax plan which
probably would be the most disastrous
to the New Deal In November.
This is Senator Robert M. LaFollette
OF Wisconsin. His proposal, which Ii
causing so much concern at the White
House and among the brain trusters,
is to boost income tax levies on indI-
vidnals getting less than $4,000 year,
all The way down the line and to re-
duce the present exemptions so that
millions OF additional persons would be
obliged to pay income taxes. and all
those now paying small income tar
would have to pay more.
LaFollette is for this proposal for
two reasons. He wants the govern
ment to keep on taking In enough rev
enue to be able to keep on with Its
social reform, farm relief. and other
Progressive policies. He believes that
this ls the only way to bring In enough
money. He knows, and so do practi-
cally all the senators-onIy many OF
them would not think OF admitting 1t
publicly-that the bill as passed by the
house will not produce the expected
revenue And he knows also that IL
Its rates were so boosted that 1t would.
