OPPOSES AMENDMENT.
Should Be Last Step Resorted to, Says
Senator Thomas.


Senator Thomas.
ST. LOUIS, March 80 (P.-United
States Senator Ebert D. Thomas
Democrat, of Utah declared in an ad-
dress here last night that NO one
can seriously contend the President S
Supreme Court proposal is not strictly
within the Constitution
The Senator said the real trouble
with the Supreme Court is that it has
made definition in the past; termed
the Presidents proposals moderate, -
and declared the constitutional
amendment process should be the
last resorted to-"
An amendment to the ConStitu-
ton" the Utah Senator asserted. "Is
a leap in the dark. You never know
what you have until the amendment
is passed in review. And then again
some amendments have fallen by the
wayside. There is the example of the
child labor amendment, which has
been before State Legislatures for some
time.
1T is possible for small group of
States to effectively block an amend
ment, thus resulting in casting aside
the wishes Of the majority. Thirteen
States can stop the amending process
And you just about know those 13
States which would throw their weight
to blocking an amendment relating to
the Supreme Court"

The table top came up to his shoul-

April |.

A substantial pay increase for some
900 clerical and other employees of
the Delaware Maryland District of
Columbia division of the Standard
Oil Co., effective April /, was an
nounced by w. H. Evans, manager
of the area, today.
The wage increases, Evans said,
were co-incidental with the series OF
pay raises negotiated with thousands
of wage earners in joint conferences
with the company management.
All office and other Salaried en-
ployes not participating in this ad-
vance who are now receiving $1,000
or less per year will get fiat monthly
increase of SIS each. Employees re-
ceiving salaries from $1,000 a year
up to executive levels will be con-
sidered individually by departments,

in Florida.
PALM BEACH, Fla, March 80 P)
"A fashionable audience last night
heard two speakers attack President
Roosevelt's court plan and booed one
of their number who deplored lack of
the other side of the story"
James A. Reed, former United States
Senator from Missouri, and Frank E.
Gannett, New York publisher, assailed
the Presidents proposal in harsh terms
before SEQ persons in the Everglades
Club.
After they had finished, Edward Wy
coff Harris, New York attorney, arose
to register my regret this is not an
open forum and that only one side Of
the question has been presented"
Harris, who later described himself
as progressive Republican" had
only time to add much good would
have been accomplished IF both sides"
were heard, before he was halted by
the boos.
j. Leonard Replogle, prominent
Florida Republican and toastmaster at

majority.
President Grant was charged by
many persons with packing" the court
to obtain favorable decision. He de-
MED, however, that he had known Of
the ruling when he submitted the nom-
nations.
Another celebrated decision, result
ing from justice changing his vote,
held the entire income tax law invalid
in 1895. after only portion Of the
act had been declared unconstitutional.
The first decision was by 4-to-4
vote, owing to the illness of Justice
Jackson. The court soon reconsid-
cred and with Justice Jackson voting
for the legislation, held it unconstitu-
tional by 5-to-4 vote.
Identity Of Justice Mystery.
That showed one of the justices
who originally had voted for the legis-
lation had reversed his decision. His
identity never was established.
Severe criticism followed and re-
suited in adoption of the sixteenth
amendment to the Constitution au-
thoriZing Federal income tax.
The most recent case Of wide in
terest which was reconsidered-but
which did not constitute a reversal
involved Charlotte Anita Whitney,
convicted OF violating the California
criminal syndicalism law by assisting
in 1919 In organizing the Communist
Labor party in that State.
The high tribunal dismissed the
case on October 10, 1925, for want of
jurisdiction. 1t then granted a re-
hearing, heard the dispute reargued,
and on May l6, 1927, sustained her
conviction.

TREASURY BEGINS
STUDY OF TAXES
Designed to Gather Data
on How Levies Are
Operating.
By rte Associated Press.

o! tEe Associated Press.
Informed authorities said today the
Treasury has begun broad study OF
the Federal tax structure.
They emphasized the study is not
pointed toward changes in existing
tax rates, but is designed primarily to
gather new data on how efficiently
various levies are operating and their
relative value as revenue producers.
Centered on Profits Tax.
The canvass, directed by Under
secretary Roswell Magill was reported
10 be oentering on the new undistrib-
nted profits tax.
This levy, effective for the first time
on 1886 corporation incomes, has
drawn criticism from business in
terests, which contend that it I'M
fairly penalties corporations in debt
and retards industrial expansion.
Officials said 1886 tax returns would
be studied carefully to ascertain
whether inequities existed. They added
that no recommendations for chang
ing the law would be made until the
study is completed. This may require
several months.
AS one phase Of this study, Secre-
tary Morgenthau said late yesterday
that revenue agents were Investigate
ing to determine why requests for
making delayed income tax returns
this month increased 33 per cent
over last year.
Computing Returns Difficult.
Some business spokesmen have con-
tended that compleXity of the profits
tax made it difficult to compute re-
turns. Morgenthau said the levy may
have been a factor in the increased
requests for extensions.
Taxpayers may file tentative re-
turns by the March Is deadline-if
one-fourth of the estimated tax is
paid-and receive 30-day extension
for making final returns.
The extension requests may have
Whitfield March revenues substantially.
Morgenthaus statement indicated
Treasury concern over whether in
come tax receipts would come up to
the S2,372 100000 estimate for this
fiscal year. With only three months
remaining before the end of the fiscal
period June 80, collections are about
s880,00000 short of this figure.

COURT REvERSALS
FEW IN BIG CASES
Records Show Only Several
Changes Made in Major
Decisions.
By the Associated Press.

sS the Associated Press.
A search Of records disclosed today
that the Supreme Court has reversed
itself only few times on important
decisions.
It's action yesterday in overruling
previous opinions and upholding the
right of State to Ak minimum wages
for women was one OF the major re-
versals.
BY 5-to-4 decision it sustained q
Washington State statute after vot-
ing to against a similar New York
State law last June and to against

Justice Roberts voted against the

NEW YORK, March 80 P).-De-
Tending President Roosevelts proposal
to alter the membership of the Su-

In making these changes the Re-

broadcast by radio chain. They
did not destroy the Constitution. The
country did not go to pieces.
In the light of that experience we
