Action Taken In Matter
During Special Meeting
OF Body Conducted Last
: Night

The City Council at a special
meeting held last night, adopted a
resolution calling for the eolIee-
ton of delinquent taxes on a
twenty per cent basis for all
years up to the present time. This
eighty per cent reduction was
agreed upon at a joint meeting Of
cOuneiImen and commissioners
held at the county court house on
Monday night.
This action was taken in order
that the city may be able to col
lect much-needed revenue at this
particular time, the amount of re-
duction being looked upon as be-
ing a much greater incentive for
those who are indebted to the city
to come forward and meet these
obligations.
The question of a basis on
which the city is to collect de-
linquent taxes was the only OBJ
stacle in the way of reaching an
agreement by which the county
would conform to the resolution
providing for the gasoline tax al
lotment which is one of the main
factors in the proposal to refund
the eity's bonded indebtedness.
This new agreement for the
payment o. delinquent tFxes be-
comes effective at once, with all
accrued interest, waived, and it is
believed that many will imme-
diately take advantage of the OPP
portunity to pay up, and thereby
wipe out the indebtedness, and
at the same time provide the city
with revenue which is SO badly
needed for its proper function
ing.

Immediately upon the submits
sion of Senator Blacks name, the
Presidents nomination was hailed
as a masterful political man
oeuvre. The forces of the Chief
Executive promptly began an in
direct attack, alleging that the
Senator would not be eligible on
account of the passage of legis-
lation permitting justices to re-
tire. The nominees political fit
ness was also questioned. Later,
the charge was made that the Ku

effective and the aggressive Ala

While even his friends probably
would not claim that Senator
Blacks legal experience has been
as broad as some of the present
members of the Court, they insist
that he is well qualified and, GER
tainly is as able as many appoin-
tees to the Court in the past.
There is no doubt as to his SYM
pathy with tn detectives of the
New Deal and it is sure that
the President has not failed
to appoint man of his own polit-
icaI philosophy. This was to be
expected and is no more than has
been the custom in the past when
conservative presidents have plac-
ed on the Supreme Court lawyers
whose greatest qualification has
been their assiduous practice of
law in the interest of large cor
porations.

Less than nine months ago,
President Roosevelt was swept i'm
to office by an overwhelming vote
of confidence from the citizens of
the United States. At that time.
there was some talk of IAN era OF
good feeling" and some foolish
speculation as to how long the
Republican Party would last. For
few months, tho tremendous
majority of the Chief Executive
seemed sufficient to guarantee his
leadership in Congress but short
ly after the session opened. Mr..
Roosevelt submitted his sensa-
tional Court Reform bin and since
that time the air has been filled
with alarums. The burden of the
clamor has been that the Constitu-
ton is being wiped out, that the
man in the White House plans to
become a dictator and that the
citizens of the nation are about to
lose all of their rights.

Other observers and some Off

side of the Atlantic seem to find
nothing Objectionable in the loan
plan, which was heavily bonn
barded by Republican critics of
tna Administration. The state
Department, generally credited
with running its affairs with con-
siderable intelligence, is criticized
for not considering the reaction
of other nations. such as Argen-
tina, and in Understanding the
furore which the loan proposal
would make. Critics were quick
to point out that such a custom,
if established among the nations
