Coming Year
DOUGHTON SEES NO
EARLY TAX INCREASE

WASHINGTON, Apr. 10. (UP)
President Roosevelt in a special
message to congress today est
mated that the government will
have a net deficit Of 4l8,000,O00
in the fiscal year Of 1887 and
1888 but promised to use every
means to eliminate the deficit.
He said that the government
will receive only $1,000, 100000
in revenue the next fiscal year.
After promising a determined
effort to economic he said 1T has
become apparent that there is All
immediate need for q survey of
the present tax structure.
The treasury will be prepared
in November to present congress
with information on loopholes in
the present law and suggestions
for such new or additional taxes
as may be necessary to meet the
deficiencies.
The presidents revision Of next
years financial situation was ac-
companied by request for ST.
100000 to finance unemploy-
ment relief during the next fiscal
year, and contained a plea for
congress to join in a determined
effort to bring about a balance Of
the actual income and outgo for
the fiscal year 1888.
Senate Majority Leader Joe T..
Robinson, D., Ark, spokesman for
the congress, said that despite the
economies that could be affected
that the budget for the 1878
fiscal year still would be out OF
balance.
Both Robinson and Chairman
Robert L. Doughton, D., n. c., of
the house ways and means com.
mittee, said no new taxes likely
would be imposed Immediately.
Fiscal experts Monday forecast
$3,000,00e,000 federal
deficit as President Roosevelt pre-
pared a revised budget for sub
to congress.
Prediction Of I3,000,000,0 900
or more deficit for this fiscal year
pointed toward a new tax bill If
the administration is to make
good its promise Of approximate
balance of the budget in the next
fiscal period. The alternatives
would be economy or an upsurge
of income from existing rates.
According to this figure the ma
tional debt would approximate 80
billion dollars.

CUMMINGS NOT
SATISFIED BY
COURT RULINGS
Fears Some New Deal Laws
May Fail To Be Sus-
tanned by Court

WASHINGTON, April 20. -
.(UP)-Attorney General Homer
S. Cummings last night urged en-
actment Of President Roosevelt's
supreme court reorganization
plan because "the bench still lacks
a sufficient number of judges
whose self-restraint is predicta-
ble."
The cabinet officer spoke on q
radio program in connection with
nationwide series Of meetings
supporting the plan promoted by
labor's Non-Partisan league. Com
menting on the high tribunals re-
cent favorable decisions on mini
mum wages and collective bar
gaining, Cummings said:
eve find ourselves now in g
moment of light. Our problem is
to keep that light burning"
Many administration senators
and representatives took part in
the meetings, warning friends Of
the court not to listen to "the soft
whispers of those who say The
fight is already won" because Of
recent decisions favoring the New
Deal.
The labor league meetings eli
NAKED a day which saw the fol-
lowing developments in the judi
ciary fight:
|. Senate Minority Leader
Charles L. McNary, R., Ore, tenn
porarily blocked senate confirma-
ton of 68-year-old Robert Lee
Williams, nominated to- the 10th
circuit court of appeals.
2. Alan NJ. Linburg, New York
stock broker, told the senate ju-
dietary committee that if the pres
ident's bill were enacted "state
rights would be gone"
3. Senator George w. Norris,
l., Neb., introduced a proposed
constitutional amendment simpli-
flying the method of amending the
constitution by providing for pop
ular vote with ratification by two
thirds of the states instead of
three-fourths as at present.
4. Senator Carl A. Hatch, D.,
N. NJ, introduced two amend.
ments to the presidents bill. One
would make the number Of su-
preme court justices fluctuate be-
tween 9 and Is, depending on re-
tirements, instead Of permanent
ly increasing the size of the court.
The other would prevent appoint
ment Of more than one new JUS
tice a year to the high court.
Cummings, who has been the
most ardent cabinet advocate Of
the court reorganization plan,
commented in his address on the
minimum wage reversal of three
weeks ago. He said that for 20
years the vote of a single judge,
holding office for life, had ode
termined the social policy Of the
nation" He cited the Sd deci-
sions upholding the Wagner labor
act as another Striking demon
stration."
"Aad yet" he added, "the en-
lightened judgment which has
given us these recent decisions by
the narrowest Of margins may be
eclipsed tomorrow by return to
abstract theories and mistaken as
sumptions. The statutes recently
validated may be whitfield away
in their application bit by bit un-
til nothing remains but an empty
victory.
Surely this is an unhealthy
condition. The bench still lacks a
sufficient number Of judges
whose self restraint is practicable,
judges who are willing to see the
facts as they are and to decide
under the constitution and not
over IT,"

AMeRlcA's FORGOTTEN Asao

HIVE men-of-war, the first naval
 fleet of the United States, were cruising the coasts of Ireland and Scotland, late in l779, under com. mand of John Paul Jones. Near Hull, Jones sighted 40 merchant men conveyed by two British warships. Giving chase, Jones, in the Bon Homme Richard" drew up alongside the fleeing "Serapis" and opened fire. Across the gum wales the men fought in hand-to- hand combat, until the "Serapis" surrendered. It was the first great naval victory in U. S. his- tory.
 Jones, Scotch-born adventurer, entered the Russian navy after the American revolution, served five years, and died in Paris in l792, aged 45. His grave, and even his cemetery were forgotten, until they were discovered in 1905 and his body was returned for burial in Annapolis. His portrait appears alongside that of John Barry, on the new one-cent navy stamp.
