INCOME TAXES
SHOW JUMP
FOR YEAR
By ERIC FRIEDHEIM
International News Service

Federal income taxes paid by
corporations during the current
fiscal year jumped 35 per cent,
while levies against individuals
scared to 81 per cent over last
years volume, Treasury studies
revealed today.
Rising industrial earnings. cou-
pied with the new corporate sur
plus tax bill, forced corporations
to contribute 72l million dollars
to the Government cash till be-
tween July, 1886, and March.
Individual income taxes for this
period amount to 772 millions.
March Receipts Soar
In March, when first payments
under the tax act were made, the
Treasury netted PIT million dol.
lars from corporations. an increase
of 81 per cent over the same
month year ago.
Rejecting higher wages. profits
and extra money received through
widespread dividend distribution,
individual taxpayers enriched the
Government by $411,806,000 in
March, or n per cent more than
in the corresponding period of
1896.
March income tax collections
from both individuals and corpo-
rations were approximately 10 per
cent greater than in the previous
year, while for the entire fiscal
year the collections are 43 per
cent higher.
AmusementS Prosper
Evidence that the amusement
industry is enjoying prosperity is
contained in the $14,000,000 real
lied by the Treasury from the
10 per cent tax on admission to
theaters, cararetS, concerts and
sporting events. Amusement ad-
mission taxes are running nearly
100000 ahead of last year.
Liquor taxes so far this fiscal
year total 444 millions, a rise of
$74.000.000. Sharp gains were
noted in consumption of beer and

 A memorial was passed by the House urging congressional ac- tion against the encroachments of Japanese fishermen in Alaskan waters.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12, Per sons close to the administration said President Roosevelt would let labor and farm policies sim mer until the supreme court re- organization problem is settled.

 The administration was disap- pointed in Senator Norris oppo- sition to the move. Opponents of the measure are endeavoring to form a united front in both houses, with which to defeat the Presidents first major piece of legislation since the start of his second term of office.

the Senate of the United States, or the
Senator from New York. Mr.. Root,
whose attainments, accomplishments
and patriotic devotion to America and
all her institutions are known, not
only throughout the United States, but
also throughout the civilized world.
These three eminent statesmen rec
oenized the evil which flows from the
life-tenure clause and the danger
which comes from judges who seek to
remain too long on the Federal bench
To meet that situation they recon-
mended and approved the idea and
plan OF appointing an additional Judge
whenever the incumbent Of any Fed
eral court below the Supreme Court
had reached the age of retirement
and had not retired.
Charges of packing the court were
hurled in those days. more than 20
years ago. even as they are hurled
today, and charges of making the
courts the subject Of partisan politics
were made then, even as they are
made now One of the committees
of the House Of Representatives, in a
minority report on a similar bill. con-
demned the plan as being in contra
vention OF the Constitution, and said:
"It would adopt vicious and dam
gerous policy. one II made effective

cannot name all the distinguished
Senator's and Representatives and
noted jurists who have supported a
plan to add judges to the Federal
courts to supplement those who have
reached retirement age but have not
retired. However. it is significant that
when such plan was finally enacted
into statute in 1919, it was said in
the House OF Representatives that all
the judges favored it.
The act of 1919 gives the President
power to appoint an additional Judge
on any lower Federal court when the
President finds that judge past re-
tirement age is physically or mentally
disabled from performing the duties
of his Office. Every President since
Woodrow Wilson has had the power
to find and declare as fact, without
hearing a word of testimony and with
out giving the aged judge chance to
be heard in his own defense, that
such a judge is unable to perform
the duties OF his office, and upon such
finding, the President is authorized
to appoint an additional judge for
such court. But be it to the ever

lasting honor and credit Of the Presi-
dents. Wilson. Harding. Coolidge.
Hoover, and yes, Franklin d. Roose-
welt, not . one Of them has ever
abused the power thus conferred by
the statutes Of the United States.
Each OF these distinguished Presidents
has held a sword which he could have
welded over the head Of every aged
lower Federal Judge in this land and
could have used it to make the Judge
bend his knee 10 executive will, but
no President has sought to 80 use
that power.
That fact-that no President has
abused that power over the judiciary
should calm many fears.
In this day OF much talk and Of
much concern about dictators, of abuse
OF power by the Executive, may We not
pause here and say perhaps we have
talked too much: perhaps We have
talked too loudly; perhaps our fears
have been more fancied than real?
Present Bill Less Drastic.
The bill presently before the Senate
Is a much less drastic bill than the
one already on the statute books. Re-
alizing the real need for constructive
reform, and knowing that men do be-
come old, and with passing years there
naturally comes that decrepitude and
decay which the laws OF nature apply
with almost equal force to every man
who lives. the present bill seeks to
provide = permanent plan by which
that condition may be met without
injury to, or reflection upon a single
judge or justice Of the United States.
Any justice Of the Supreme Court who
has passed the age of IS years, who is
willing to remain on the bench and
give his country the benefit OF the
wisdom and experience which he has
acquired throughout the years, may
do so, and our country may profit
from his sacrifice. There Is no thought
OF compelling retirement A younger
man will be appointed to the Supreme
Court, not to supplant the aged JUS
tices, simply younger man ap-
pointed as any other justice of the
Supreme Court is appointed to carry
his full share Of the duties and re-
sponsibilities of that high ONCE, thus
lifting in some degree and measure
the heavy load OF responsibility which
rests upon the shoulders OF the older
judge. Thus the substitute bill Gre
| ates much-needed permanent re-
form.
When similar law for the lower
courts has received the cordial sup
port OF Elihu Root and the others
have mentioned, its principle applied
| in the present bill can hardly be said
to be radical, extreme or unwise.
BY limiting the power OF the Presi-
dent to the appointment of not more
than one additional justice in each
calendar year under the bill it is in
tended to make the plan safe so that
no Executive may ever use his power
for the purpose Of so-called packing
the court. This limitation on the
power Of the President was originally
proposed by me long before the hear
ings Of the Judiciary Committee of
the Senate had concluded. When
the amendment was rejected in COM
mittee, voted against the original
bill.
The amendment is included in the
| present substitute bill, which has also
