Administration Arithmetic.

Roosevelt administration leaders, sup
porting the Presidents plan to increase
the Supreme Court to a maximum of
hfteen members, are making the point
that the f1ve-to-four decisions in the
Wagner act cases leave the Nation at
the mercy OF single justice. Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, the majority
leader of the upper house, maintains
that the necessity for legislation-the
Presidents bill-"cannot be suspended
by the variableness of an opinion of a
single justice" And yet there is nothing
in the Presidents bill which would pre-
vent single justice from determining
the constitutionality of an act Of Con-
gress or Of State law The only diff
ference would be that eight-to-seven de-
cisions could and doubtless would pre-
vail in the future instead Of five-to-four
decisions.
Whether the people Of America would
prefer to have the highest court uphold
or turn down law as constitutional or
unconstitutional by vote split eight
to seven rather than vote Of i've to
four is merely mathematical problem.
There has been nothing to indicate that
they would prefer such decisions from
the Supreme Court. But the admins

Inconsistency Has Been
Only Consistent Feature

To the Editor of The Star:
To the utmost limits of approval. en-
thusiaSm and thankfulness, all right
minded Americans should commend
your editorial comment of April /, under
the caption of Contradictions" In the
argot of the hour, it rings the bell' on
every devious, squirming twist of the
Roosevelt regime, for inconsistency has
been its only consistent feature. just as
"alarmists" and "opportunists' have
been its leaders.
More specifically, why must intelli-
gent people and the youth of the land
have to listen to such snarled logic and
twisted truth as filled the discourse of
Senator Robinson? Some of our great
States should lose their national voice
if they do not exercise greater care in
selecting their representatives in Con-
gress. Robinson's remarks about the
Supreme Court must be some of the left
over campaign wind" Farley mentioned
as being ready.
Every thinking man and woman can
see the vicious possibilities of this tam
pering with the independence of the
court, with the hydra headed beast of
autocratic power that turks back of the
reorganization" scheme. Must we be-
lieve that the supporters Of such un-
American ideals think more of their own
pockets and political life than they dc
of the freedom of their country and the
welfare of their progeny? Or must we
believe 1t is colossal ignorance?
God of our Fathers be with them
yet
Lest they forget"

Diversion of Gasoline
Tax Not Ineuuitable

10 the Editor OF The Star:
The numerous articles appearing in
The Star pertaining to tax diversion as
applied to gasoline taxes have been
very interesting. However, it seems to
me that it is now time that the public
be enlightened on this subject and told
why the word diversion" has been used
so extensively in taxation as applied to
gasoline but to no other taxes.
Real estate has borne at least 80 per
cent of the tax load in the cities of the
United States. Real estate owners, how
ever, have never insisted that all taxes
levied on real estate be utilized solely
for the benefit of the real estate owners
In fact, real estate taxes are used for
every conceivable civic expense.
A large proportion of the residents,
however, pay practically no taxes what
ever, and this is particularly true in the
District of Columbia, where the floating
population forms such large proper
ton and where this type of resident
moves from apartment to apartment
without ever paying taxes.
There is no more reason why gasoline
or automobile taxes should not be uti-
lized for general purposes than those
from any other source, and certainly
automobile owners as a class should be
able to afford to pay them.

Is well constituted in its present set-up.
If neither side is wholly IN the right,
then perhaps, also, is neither side wholly
in the wrong. 1t is this thought that
moves me to think the time is ripe for
suggestions of compromise.
Without reflection on nine splendid
old men, conceive that it is not we'll
that the court should be dominated by
men above rs years Of age.
These are my suggestions for a
remedy:
Let the number of the court remain
nine appointments to be for term Of
10 years.
Terms to be arranged so vacancy will
occur every second year.
No age limit be fixed.
BY this arrangement any President
in any one term will add new blood to
the court by two appointments. And
always balance is maintained between
the old and the new.
This, of course, to be accomplished only
by an amendment.

or killed by poison along these barriers.
A survey of the eggs left by last years
crlckets indicates that the bands will soon
spread over about 100000 acres in six
states. Last year the grasshoppers did
ABOUT 100000 damage on the great Grow
Indian Reservation in Montana. but in
Utah, Nevada and Idaho, where rigorous
control methods were used, the damage
was slight.
Department of Agriculture entonoloe-
lists have just reported a curious case of
robber parasitism in the insect world In
Kansas grain fields they found beetles,
adults of the false wireworm. robbine
small red ants of the seeds they collect
over wide area
Gathered in large numbers on the
mounds OF the mound-building harvester
ant in Western Kansas, the beetles ate
seeds that the ants had dropped here
and there. Occasionally several beetles
set upon a home-going ant. An ant
thus attacked promptly dropped her load
OF seeds and defended herself by biting
the beetles legs.

A really sweet sweet clover" is being
observed by forage specialists of the
Department OF Agriculture.
sweet clover" applied to the common
varieties of the United States is a
misnomer, since they all contain bitter
substance known as coumarin, which
may poison live stock when hay is i'm
properly cured. The new clover was
found in China by Department of Agri-
culture explorers. 1t contains no cou-
marin and live stock prefer it to the
native varieties.

the necessary material likewise merits
commentator.
OF course, practical guide was
wanted. There is a perennial demand
for such a book. Habitual residents as
we'll as numerous visitors have occasion
to seek information about the so-called
sights" Of the city. The present volume
was designed to supply the lack natural
ly indicated. But an ideal Baedeker
must be kept up-to-date, and the Writ
ers' Project editors appear to have been
aware Of the Limitation of the circum-
stance of time under which they
labored. 1t was wise OF them to face
tie issue squarely. Their enterprise re-
fleets the scene as it is today AS the
picture changes much of the task will
have to be undertaken anew.
Meanwhile, credit should be entered
in the ledger of history for the Works
Progress Administration. The guide is
an agreeable surprise-inflnitely superior
to what critics had expected. A pattern,
anyway, has been established. If the
Government is to continue to endow job
less literary people, 1t could do far
worse with them and for them than to
insure the periodical amendment and
correction OF book which. especially
If it be made available less ponderously,
should prove durably useful to the people
OF the entire Nation. Washington ought
to be better and more accurately known
to the whole world. The guide now Of
fered by the Federal writer's is a service
toward that end.

Good Road or Auditorium
Is Preferable to Memorial
TO the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Why not have an auditorium or a
decent No. l Highway from here to
Philadelphia instead of memorial?
Do you realize that Washington does not
have single place in which to hold
fairs, automobile shows, or where
speeches may be delivered with large
audience?
No. Highway from here to Philadel-
phia is disgrace to the Nation! In
Baltimore it has taken the outrageous
time of IS minutes to get across a
railroad track. Can't something be done
about this? Call this road Jefferson
Memorial Highway" If you wish. Ger
tainly Jefferson would want to have
something for the good OF the country
named after him!
Washington has so many places of
public interest that it takes at least a
week for visitor to see them all. Do
we need to spend four million dollars for
another one? If we must have it, why
spoil the only Japanese cherry blossoms
in the United States? It is not only the
cherry blossoms that will be lost, but
their beautiful setting also will be lost
Let us have something that is of some
use to the people of these United States!

tration mathematician apparently can
see no reason why the eight-to-seven
decisions should be deterrent to the
passage of the Presidents bill 1t is
quite plain that they do not expect any
such decisions. if the President is per-
mitted to pick the new members OF the
court, as of course he will be II the legis-
lation is enacted into law. The pre-
sumption is that for time at least the
court would overwhelmingly support ad-
m!nistration measures. This in itself
is an admission that the court is to be
packed"
The opponents Of the Presidents court
bill, as it affects the Supreme Court,
have consistently argued that the meas
ure is designed to pack" the court, and
that it presents no permanent remedy.
They insist that If the President really
wants a flow Of new blood into the
judiciary, and particularly the Supreme
bench, there should be constitutional
amendment which would make COM
pulsory retirement Of justices at given
age. either seventy or seventy-five. The
President, they say, has made the point
that the present Supreme Court has
among its members men who, by reason
OF their age, no longer have contact
with the people, their needs and their
demands.
The Supreme Court, by it's five-to-
four decisions in the Wagner act cases,
has upset the calculations of the pro-
ponents of the Presidents court bill.
Decisions by the court holding the law
invalid would have played into their
hands, to the extent they would have
been able to tell labor the court was
entirely unfavorable to the working man
In their search for arguments that the
Wagner act decisions mean little or
nothing, and that the bill to increase
| the court must go through, they have
| hit upon the fact that single justice
had he voted the other way, could have
| overturned the Wagner act. 1t is an
| idle argument, in the light Of the fact
| that under the Presidents bill the same
thing could happen in an eight-to- seven
decision.

And yet men never have denied
That souls must frequently be tried.
But trials have become too rough.
We ask, Have we not had enough?'"
