for the past six years, has been los ing money although it paid out S750,O00 in wages before it began 10 balance its accounts and get out of the red.
 The Territory needs properties like the Chichagof Company which. for the past six years. has been los ing money although il paid out .$750.000 in wages during that per iod.
 The inconsistency of those who now propose this gross tax is appal- ling. On the one hand they are calling lou Fly for aid to prospectors and passing bills memorials and resolutions directed to secure tnat aid. On the other hand they are pro posing legislation which would stif!e prospecting. What has the ChichG- gof Company been doing during the past six years but prospecting? It has been doing it to the tune of more than a million dollars. more money than the legislature with all it's powers and devices. could pro. cure from any source. and yet the proposed tax would place a burden on it which, together with the var ious payroll taxes coming into e<- istence this year, would surely pre- vent any further such prospecting ventures in the Territory. What was the Hirst Company doing for 20 years but prospecting at an expense of S1.400,0002
 Payrolls are much more import- ant than taxes. This must be appar- ent to any but the most simple mlnI- ed; but that is not all. There are many other things which go with such prospecting ventures. Supplies are purchased in the Territory; log- ging operations are necessary: trans portation, employing many men; supplies are purchased from local merchants.
 At the hearing it was brought out that the Kensington Company tf Mr. Trites had bought last summer more than $6.0O0 worth of lumber from the local mill, S9,O00 worth of groceries from local stores, $6,0O0 worth of hardware, $1,0OO for other purposes, plus $44,O00 in wages.
 The proposed tax is higher than that of any other state or province on the North American continent with the possible exception of South Dakota, which is not a mining state and which has only one producing mine; and even there where a gro ss tax is levied an exemption of 5O,0O0 tons of ore milled is allowed before any tax applies. Such an exemption would cover mucn more than the gross production of either the Chich- agof property or the Hirst
 The argument was advanced yes- terday by enc of the sponsors of the tax bill that more money is needed for pensions; and that the speaker would like to see paraded before tEe House those who would benefit by the tax. Yet-how could anyone benefit by measure which would wipe out payrolls, throw hundreds of men out of employment and throttle any further mining develop ment?
 Is it not apparent to all that such Ia result as would surely be obtain ed by the passage of this bill would be reflected in greatly increased pen sion rolls and greatly increased ranks of unemployment, with event. ual hardship to all the residents of the Territory?

Fiscal Formula Idea
For &C. Scrapped

controversies over the amount of
the Federal contribution which
have been going on between the
House and the Senate for several
years, when former Representative
Tom Blanton CD, of Texas, domi-
mated the House District Appro-
priationS Subcommittee. He con-
tinually sought to reduce the Fed
eral contribution figure, while the
Senate subcommittee fought to
maintain an equitable figure.
The controversy last year led to
a deadlock until an agreement was
reached between the two subcom-
mittees that the contribution fig
ure for the current fiscal year
should be fixed at $5,00O,000, but
with the proviso that $4,000 of
District funds should be allocated
to commission which would
make a study with a view to set.

The Presidents Committee on
Fiscal Relations was appointed as
a result of that agreement, and al
though the $4,000 of District
funds has been expended, the in

tions group, which now has gone

on the proposal, residents of the
Capital City breathed a sigh of
relief today to know that it had
been scrapped.
Concerning the formula, which
would have reimbursed" the city
treasury this year, under the
budget approved by the Budget
Bureau, by but $4,000, 900, the Ap-
propriationS Committee in its re-
port said:
"ItS application would tend to
increase materially, rather than
decrease, the controversy as to
what constitutes an equitable
fiscal arrangement between the
two governments. 1t would
further cOmplicate budgetary
procedure, increase personnel
and multiply executive fingers
in the governmental operation
with resultant loss of efficiency
and, consequently, increase gov
ernmental costs.
'The measuring and valuing
Of each specific item Of service
the District performs for the
Federal Government, and the
Federal Government performs
for the District, as recommended
in point one of the three or four
point formula, would entail a
vast amount of statistical work,
increase personnel, and the re-
suit would be anything but sat
iSfaCtOry.
There would be no limit as
to what the District Government
would charge in their bill for
each service, and each bill with
such service would cause much
controversy as to the correct
charge, thus making multitude
or disputes instead Of the one
problem as at present obtains
under existing procedure.

recommended by the Jacobs re-
port are as visionary and fan
tastic as the one just men,

preme Courts earlier decision.
Senator Minton is Of the opinion
that the law was not vetoed by the
court. which only decided upon a
particular case and, therefore, it
could be resurrected.
Early Action Likely
In any event it is indicated at
the Capitol today that some action
will be taken in Congress at this
session on a minimum wage law
for the Capital.
In passing on the Washington
State minimum wage case yester-
day, the Supreme Court held that
the previous decision in the Adkins
case should be reversed, which,
Seal, contends, serves to revive
the law. The minimum wage law
never has been removed from local
statute books.
AppriSed that Senator King was
inclined toward new legislation on
the ground that the old law was
loosely written" Seal said he will
make a thorough study of the new
law before taking any definite
action.
Board Of Three
The law provided for the estab-
liShment of a board of three, one
each to represent the employer,
employe and the public, to serve
on the board without compensa-
ton. The law also provided for a
secretary at salary not to exceed
$4,000 a year.
The board is empowered to fix
the minimum wages of women
and minors of either sex up to the
age Of 18 in all fields of employ.
ment, to insure their health while
at work and their morals.
Far reaching in its effect, the

gaming raids was promised by
United States Attorney Leslie c.
Garnett today as the chief pros.
ecutor expressed elation over the
sweeping success of the raiders.
Mr.. Garnett took occasion to
acclaim what he termed the alb
Solute cooperation that prevailed
between the inVestigative unit Of
the Bureau of Internal: Revenue
and of the Police Department
which in cooperation with his
office insured the seizure of ade-
quate evidence. The official
stated:

of Columbia, and what Is more
important our guns have been

NEW GRAND JURY
Asked when prosecutions will
commence, he replied:
"The term of the present
grand jury will expire in the next
"a hours and it would be unwise
to place only a part Of the evil
dence before this grand jury and
give the rest of it to the April
jury.
"Ramifications Of this indus
try have been so extensive that
it is best to lay the entire picture
before the new grand jury so
that each individual may be con.

In recent raids those arrested
have been released on $1,000 bond.

CHESTER SNOW
DEAD AT %

Chester A. Snow. millionaire
patent attorney, whose trial on
charges Of conSpiring to murder
his former wife, Mrs. Adds HUI
bard Snow, caused a sensation in
Washington in 1920, died last
night after a long illness at mis-
home, 1343 Harvard st. N. w. He
would have been SO years old next
week.
The charges were placed against
Mr.. Snow on July 6. 1920, by mis-
estranged wife, who three years
prior to that date had been
granted a limited divorce and $500
monthly alimony.
Henry E. Davis, counsel for Mrs.
Snow, gave the information to
Assistant United States District
Attorney James B. Archer on
which the warrant was sworn out.
Later. Mr.. Snow. who was IA
years old at that time, was ac-
quilted of the charges in July,
1920, by Chief Justice Walter I.
Mccoy, of the District Supreme
Court. The decree modified the
former one which gave Mrs. Snow
entire custody of their son, Dexter
Hubbard Snow, at that time six
years old.
Funeral services will be held
Thursday at p. m. in the Hines
funeral home, Fourteenth and
Harvard Streets Northwest, with
the Rev. DR.. R. H. Miller, pastor
of the National City Christian
Church, officiating. Interment
will be in Rock Greek Cemetery.

COURT PLAN
AN0UTRAGE
Calls 1t Attempt to
Place "Biased Wet
Nurses" on Bench
international News Service

International News service
Senator Carter Glass (D), Of
Virginia, wartime Secretary of the
Treasury, today broke with Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the Supreme
Court issue.
In a nationwide radio broad
cast, Glass condemned the presi-
Dental plan as "repugnant
scheme to disrupt representative
government" and a proposition
utterly destitute of moral Sensi-
bility." He charged political
ianizaries," visionary incendiar-
les" and "infuriated propagan,
dists" were seeking to "defame"
and degrade" the Supreme Court
in order to enact this packing
contrivance" into law.
Glass declared the issue was
clear-that the plan was q "glar-
ing proposal to pack the Supreme
Court Immediately with the PreSi-
dents own legal adherentS for a
specified purpose" He charged it
was without precedent in the his
tory of American Jurisprudence" "
adding:
Its consequences pOrtend
evils beyond the anxiety Of any
person concerned for q decent
administration Of justice in this
country"
He quoted his wartime President,
Woodrow Wilson, as condemning
any plan to increase the number
of justices in order to change the
opinion of the court" Wilson. said
Glass, declared such a violation
of the spirit of the Constitution is
impossible, simply because we
share and contribute to that pub
lie opinion which makes such out
RACES upon constitutional morality
impossible by standing ready to
curse them"
Charges 'MOral Outrage"
Glass exploded:
Standing ready to curse
them That vividly describes
the attitude Of thinking men
and women everywhere In Amer
lea today toward this hateful at
tempt to drive eminent juristS
from the the bench in order to
crowd into the court q lot Of ju-
dicial mariOnettes to speak the
ventrilOquisHns Of the White
House.
''What Woodrow Wilson pun
gently described as an expedient
to 'Overwhelm the Supreme
Court by an outrage upon con-
stitutiOnaI morality is, in my
view, the exact thing now pro-
posed. It requires little astute-
ness to predict with confidence
that the prophecy of Wilson
would come true and the curses
of the American people, in the
end, would be visited upon those
responsible for this device to de-
prave the Supreme Court and
to make q political plaything
of the Constitution.
Eve would better abolish the
Supreme Court and, by the re-
quired process, do away out
right with the Constitution il
they are to be made the play
things of politicians"
This "ghastly object" sale
Glass, Is to put "biased wet-nurse'
on the Supreme bench" One o.
the appointees, he limited, woulc
be Gen. Hugh S. johnson. former
