GONE WITH THE WIND
BY Rose Kearns

By Rose Kearns
Gone with the wind
Are friendships rare
We valued not
Too late we care.
Gone with the wind.
There's many a word
In anger spoken,
Best unheard.
Gone with the wind,
Ger dale and hill
Are memories
That haunt us still.
Obi what a medley
We would find,
If we but travelled
With the wind.

HOUSE COMPLETES
BILL DEBATE
Measure Expected to Pass
Easily Tomorrow After
Opposition Furry.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House completed general debate
yesterday on legislation designed to
stabilize the giant soft coal industry
Only furry of opposition was re-
corded and supporters predicted the
measure would pass easily tomorrow
The bill is the revised Guffey- -Vinson
coal control proposal, which would re-
enact price-fxing and some other pro-
visions of the invalidated Guffey coal
act
After the House devotes TODAY to
other matters, it will consider amend
ments to the coal legislation tomorrow
and probably act on it that day.
Measure Called Illegal.
Representative Casey, Democrat. of
Massachusetts, author of another bill
TO create q Federal coal trade COM
mission, assailed the Guffey-Vinson
measure on the ground it would eUmi-
nate competition. He contended it
was unconstitutional and will be back
IN our laps"
Representative Vinson, Democrat, of
Kentucky, co-author. replied his bill
was "bottomed' on the Supreme
Courts Interpretation of what consti-
tuted interstate commerce.
Representative CroWther. Repub-
mean, Of New York, member of the
Ways and Means Committee, which
handled the bill, said one of the dam
gers attendant on passage was it would
be the forerunner of similar legisla-
ton for every other industry.
Railroads Called Foes.
Representative Robson, Republican
OF Kentucky argued the real oppo-
nents OF the legislation are the rail-
roads. He said the carriers no longer
would be able under its provisions te
buy coal for as little as 80 cents a ton
While the House argued, a Senate
Interstate Commerce Subcommittee
wrote more than score of amend.

of S2,500.

A taxpayer, though single, who sup

closely connected with him by blood
relationship, relationship by marriage
or by adoption, and whose right to
exercise family control and provide
for these dependent individuals is
based upon some moral or legal obli-
cation, is the head of family. and
entitled to the same exemption al
lowed married person-$2. 500. Also
he may claim s400 credit for each
dependent For example, a widower
VINO supports in one household an
aged mother and daughter II years
OLD is entitled to an exemption of
$500 as the head of family. plus
a credit of S400 for each dependent,
a total Of $4,000. The s4OO credit,
however, does not apply to the wife
or husband of taxpayer, though
one may be totally dependent upon
the other.
Several factors are involved in de-
termning whether person who files
return as the head of a family is to
be thus classified. The element of
either legal or financial dependency
must exist. A taxpayer who supports
In his home minor children over
whom he exercises family control is
classified as the head of a family.
even though the children may have
an income of their own sufficient for
fhH1r maJntnnGnNn I1
support them, by reason of their own
income, but does exercise family con-
troll, he cannot be classified as the
head of family
II an individual supported is an
adult and there rests upon the tax
payer moral or legal obligation to
provide home and care for such in
dividual, the exemption as the head
of family is allowed, provided the
individual is financially dependent.
If the individual is not financially
dependent, the exemption, even
though the taxpayer maintains the
common home and furnishes the
chief support, does not apply.
For income tax purposes there can
be only one head of family and the
exemption cannot be divided. Not in
frequently claims for the $4,000 ex-
emption are received from two or
more members of a family.
1t should be remembered that q
single person, whether or not the
head of a family, is required to file
a return of his or her net income for
1885 was $1,000 or more, regardless
of whether the return is non-taxable
by reason of the S2,5oo exemption.

ROOSEVELT "CHAT"
IS D|SPASS|ONATE
President Speaks GraveIy in
Second InstaIIment of
Court Drive.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
There was campaign timbre in
President Eoosevelt's voice in his court
reorganization speech at the Demo-
cratic victory dinner last Thursday,
but his tones in last nights "freside
chat were dispassionate.
Instead of the cheering, whistling
audience that responded to his
thrusts at the Supreme Court on that
first occasion, only few members of
his family were with him in the oval
room of the White House for the
second installment.
Talk Grave and Rapid.
Where he had alternated with seri-
GUS and light remarks in rousing the
Democratic leaders to applause and
laughter last night it was a case of
talking gravely and rapidly. When
he did pause at intervals in the 80
minute address, it was to clear his
throat
But his theme was the same. Last
week he stated the problems as he
saw them:
Here is one-third of a Nation ILL
nourished, ill-clad, ll-housed-now.
II We do not have the courage TO lead
the American people where they want
to go, some one else will"
Il say we must act-noW!" he de-
clared vehemently in concluding.
That night he did not mention the
Supreme Court by name. but his ref
erences were unmistakable. Last night
he did not hesitate to name the cour.
repeatedly.
Wants Democracy to Succeed.
While on Thursday his delivery was
reminiscent Of those long days on the
campaign road, as if an election were
about to be held again, he sounded
in the "fireside chat" more like
lawyer pleading in court.
You who know me-" he said with a
calm gravity, will accept my solemn
assurance that in a world in which
democracy is under attack, I seek to
make American democracy succeed"
In place of ringing "nowl" he
closed By. adding an extemporaneous
sentence to his manuscript:
You and I will do our part"

velop, this whole plan would fail,
would it not?" Borah asked.
Il think that might depend which
side the eight were on" Cummings
replied.
O'Mahoney Takes Up Quiz.
Taking up the questioning at that
point, Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat,
Of Wyoming, one of the committee
members. who has not as yet COM
mitted himself on the Presidents pro-
posal, clearly indicated he favors a
constitutional amendment requiring q
tWo-thirds vote of the Supreme Court
before an act Of Congress could be
invalidated. With little success he
sought to draw from Cummings an
expression Of opinion as to the feasi-
oillty Of the amendment proposal.
In his prepared statement the
Attorney General has complained OF
the fact that the processes of Govern
ment have been brought to complete
stop from time to time by injunctions
issued by the courts. This is the
same argument advanced by Mr..
Roosevelt in his message to CONGRESS.
Cummings said that as an immediate
step, the President had proposed a
law under which no court shall pass
on the constitutionality of an act of
Congress without notice to the At
torney General and an opportunity
for the United States to be heard,
and also where the trial court will
pass upon such questions there shall
be a direct appeal to the Supreme
Court.
Il am aware" said the Attorney
General, "of no serious objections to
these obviously necessary reforms"
Cummings told the committee that
ever since the Civil War the problem
of aged or infirm Federal judges has
come up from time to time. He pointed
out that in 1869 the House passed a
bill requiring the appointment Of an
additional judge to any court where a
Judge Of retirement age declined to
leave the bench.
"It failed in the Senate" said Cum
mings.
Quotes Authorities.
The Attorney General quoted the
late President Taft, Associate Justice
McReynolds, former Attorney General;
former Attorney General Gregory and
Chief Justice Hughes in support
of the retirement of superannuated
judges.
mo one" Cummings said, thinks
judges are not human or that. three
score years and ten do not work upon
them like upon other men"
Cummings gave in detail state
ment Of the crowded conditions Of
the Federal docket, the delays in the
lower courts and the heavy burden
imposed on the Supreme Court. He
pointed out that more than $4,000
cases, exclusive Of bankruptcy proceed
ings, now overhang the Federal docket
"The new cases filed about equal in
number those disposed Of" the At
torney General said, 80 that we
make no serious impression on the
backlog of undigested cases"
Taking up the question Of new
blood for the judiciary" Cummings
also said the late President Taft and
the late President Theodore Roosevelt
had declared there should be judges
on the Supreme Court and in the
other Federal Courts Of great mental
tvisor. He quoted Theodore Roosevslt

that some of those on the bench
have not resigned or retired and a
sound public policy has been defeated.
L now propose that we establish
by law an assurance against any such
Unbalanced court in the future" he
said
The President predicted that it
would take years to adopt a consti-
tutiona! amendment, after it had
taken years to decide on the kind Of
amendment desired He said that two
groups opposed his plan. One group
was composed of those who desired
no constitutional amendment and who
opposed his reelection. The other
group honestly desired an amendment,
but was unable to agree on the amend
ment. He suggested to the second
group that it look at these strange
bedfellows of yours. When before
have you :eally found them at your
side in your fights for progress?"
This was directed particularly to Sem
ators like Wheeler of Montana and
Johnson of California
Declaring his devotion to the civil
and religious liberties of the Ameri-
can people, the President said that
his proposal would not infringe upon
them at all.
Both Wheeler and Representative
Lamneck. Democrat, of Ohio, said
they would continue their fight against
the measure despite the Presidents
arguments.
I'm not converted" Lamneck ex-
claimed
Argument Held Unsound.
Wheeler said: The whole admin
istration is made up of strange bed
fellows. For every liberal there are
two reactionarieS. 1t was a very
clever but unsound argument"
Senator Barkley, Democrat, of Ken
lucky called the "hreside chat"
frank. clear exposition of "the wis
dom behind the court bill" Repre-
sentative Maverick. Democrat of
Texas said it showed this dictator
talk Is nonsense"
Shortly before completing his ad-
dreSS president Roosevelt sent to the
Senate two Federal judgeship nomi-
nations. They are j. Earl Major, SO,
district judge at Springfield H., nomi-
mated to the Seventh Circuit Court of
Appeals, and John Caskie Collett, 80
year-old Missouri Supreme Court
justice, who was named United States
district judge for Missouri
The appointment of Collett had been
recommended by Senator Clark, DEM
ocrat, of Missouri, who is opposed to
the bill, and Senator Truman. Demo-
crat, of Missouri, who is supporting
the measure.
Judge Major was supported by Sem
ator Dieterich. Democrat, of Illinois.

WARFARE.
F YOU have lived in an industria,
area where the knock down strike
was the fashion, it is difficult to lend
belief to the harmlessness of the new
sit-down type
Representative Patrick, Alabama
proved that at yesterday morning
breakfast of the Early Birds Club at
a strike-crippled hotel. The meal was
served cafeteria style on account oil
walters relaxing all over the place, and
conversation had to do with the fun
of it all
Breakfast over, Representative
Patrick began to speak He was pretty
we'll along on the subject of the fun
OF living, when all of sudden a huge
vacuum cleaner began to gatling-gun
the dust out of corridor carpet
outside. At the same time there was
a large scraping of furniture on the
floor, sound that might have been a
barricade hastily being thrown up by
the hotel management.
Representative Patrick stopped.
ducked and refused to come up for
air until completely assured that the
noise was only another humid day
starting in the great hostelry.
SERVICE.
A PATRON of the same hotel is
convinced that a strike is the
surest way to celeritous service. He
was about to order dinner Monday
night as the strike zero hour ap-
preached. 1t was $50 pm, which
meant 10 minutes to 20.
He ordered rather an elaborate meal,
while the waiter exhorted him to
hurry At $50 the waiter was back
with everything, including the dessert.
He put it all on the table, country
style, and without any f1ourishes.
And here's something to read" he
said, handing the customer a COPY
(orlginal, not carbon) of the complete
strike instructions.

Delays in Rulings.


Further time is lost in bringing
cases to issue, due to delays In Sc
curing rulings on preliminary matters,
such as demurrers and motions. An
other source of trouble Is the undue
lapse OF time that frequently inter-
Venes between the final submission of
case to the court and the date when
the decision is actually rendered.
X X
But the mere measurement of DELAY
is not all. Each of us knows from ex-
perlence that many people submit to
wrongs rather than resort to the courts
or must accept unjust or improvident
settlements.
We not only need more judges. but
we need flexible system. Some sug-
gestion has been made that Judges
over 70 are not necessarily confined to
congested areas. But all new Judges
should constitute mobile force, avail
able for service in any part of the
country, under the direction of the
Chief Justice. Congestion cannot be
1oreseen. 1t is varying factor. 1t
Is self-evident that judges should be
available for pressure areas.
Our laws already pre- ide, under Ger
tain limitations. for the special as
slgnment of judges to congested areas.
This system is sadly in need of reno
vation. 1t is haphazard and unbusi-
nesslike. There should be one respon-
sible public official who works at moth
ing else. Hence the suggestion of q
proctor, operating under the control
OF the Chief Justice and the Supreme
Court.
During great part of our history
particularly since the Civil War-the
business of the Supreme Court has
been sadly in arrears. In 1891 the

ated to relieve the Supreme Court.

mad time to consider properly.
When the rumpus over this line of
questioning quieted down, Senator
Borah wanted to know if the language
OF the bill did not really do away with
the Supreme Court because it failed to
specify the exact number of members
but allowed for shifting number.
Cummings replied that if necessary the
bill could be amended, though he did
not think that difficulty existed.
Austin Takes Up Quiz.
Senator Austin of Vermont next
took up the questioning.
You say it takes too much time tn
ratify an amendment to the Consti-
tution," he said when the people
favor an amendment, isn't it true
that it can be ratified within a year?"
Cummings replied that an amend
ment might be quickly adopted if
there was no opposition of a great
political party and if the amendment
did not affect property rights.
Austin suggested that the eight
zenith, nineteenth, twentieth and
twenty-flrst amendments had been
adopted after submission to the
States in to 18 months. Cummings
replied that it had taken a long time
to get those amendments to the
people.
Austin charged that the Attorney
General had, by innuendo, said the
Supreme Court, as now constituted, Is
not competent and cannot give en-
1ightened interpretations of the Con-
stitution.
Denies Making Innuendo.
