WIN NEW LIQUOR TRIAL

Justice George e. Martin, re-
marked that the admonition Of
the trial justice to the jury to
disregard the statements could
not undo the mischief that their
admission had caused.
The murder was that Of Ernest
Nelson on April 81, 1884, in the
apartment Of one Of the con.
spiracy defendants in the 140O
block Of p st, N. w. It was re-
marked by the appellate court
that the murder did not involve
the liquor conspiracy, but resulted
from q quarrel between two men
over a woman. Admission Of such
evidence had no bearing on the
liquor case, the court said, and
operated only to confuse the jury
and cause it to believe that all
the defendants were involved 10
the homicide.
The five defendants involved
in the appeal are Albert H. Smith,
Earl G. Funk, John Manoi, Bel
ford R. Longnecker and Arthur
Bartollozi.

The Steward Company raised
the issue Of constitutionality by
suing Harwell G. Davis, collector OF
internal revenue Of Alabama, for
refund of $46.14.
Billions Involved
Billions of future taxes hung on
the decision.
The Steward Company con
tended that the tax is not a tax
under the ConStitution-bu merely
a scheme to force States to enact
unemployment insurance laws.
The law gives the Federal Social
Security Board supervision over
State systems and requires the
States to keep their reserve funds
in the Treasury.
Employers who pay a State I'M
employment insurance tax can get
q credit of 80 per cent of their
Federal tax. But if the State does
not enact an unemployment in
Surance law of its own, its employ
erS have to pay the tax while the
State gets no benefit. 1t was this
feature that was designed to cause
States to enact their own laws.
Many Questions Open
Justice Cardozo, one by one. dis
posed Of the major objections to
constitutionality of the law.
The majority opinion, however,
he said, left open many questions
which may arise in the future. He
said:
"In ruling as we do, we leave
many questions open. We do not
say that a tax Is valid, when i'm
posed by act Of Congress, II 1t
Is laid upon the condition that .
State may escape its operation
through the adoption Of statute
unrelated in subject matter to
activities fairly within scope Of
national policy and power. No
such question is before u.s."
Tax Found Uniform
The majority opinion held that
Congress had power to levy an en-
ployment insurance tax. The court
said:
IAN excise Is not limited to
VOcatiOns or activities that may
be prohibited altogether. 1t is
not limited to those that are the
outcome Of a franchise. 1t ex.
tends to vOcatiOnS or activities

What the individual does in the
operation of q business Is amen.

The court found that the excise
tax on employers is uniform and
that it is not invalid under the
fifth amendment as depriving the
employer of due process Of law.

- The Next Appointment

wAsHINGTON-The latest important judi
cial appointment that OF Senator Hugo Black
of Alabama to the Supreme Court, has been
attracting plenty of attention. The next one
appears to be something that nearly everyone
This appointment will fill the present vacancy
IN the District of Columbia Circuit Court of
Anneals Those who know how genuinely i'm
portant it is include the President and the at
tornev general of the United States, and nearly
All astute lawyers inside and outside the ad-
ministration Backstage maneuvers are in full
swing
The District Appellate Court has been much
more friendly to the New Deal than the Supreme
Court though its decisions have leaned toward
the conservative side. Its more elderly consefVa-
tive members, however, have not hesitated TO
depart. -
AS a result two vacancies already have been
nued by appointments of New Deal liberals. a
third vacancy exists now following resignation
of Chief Justice George Martin. ana a 1oufeh
vacancy is expected through another early resig-
nation.
Here consequently. since its a fve-man court
is a bench TO which Roosevelt will be able to
name a controlling majority
New Deal lawyers are distinctly delighted be-
cause the District Court of Appeals is the one
and only federal court in which federal agencies
and officials can be sued II they insist on thelr
right to bring litigation within local JuIlSdlction
Heretofore this court has been stunned by
%
Thus the District Court of Appeals, which
potentially is the most important OF courts aside
from the Supreme Court, apparently is about
to become the second most important court OF
the land in actuality.
Roosevelt filled the first available vacancy
with Assistant Attorney General Harold M. Steph-
ems, who had been arguing for New Deal laws
in the Supreme and other federal courts The
vacancy caused by the recent death OF Justice
Josiah Van Ordsel was filled by appointment OF
Justice Miller, liberal and former dean OF
Duke University Law School
Partly as a result of disclosures alleging Su-
preme Court Justice Hugo Blacks affiliation
with the Ku Klux Klan, RooSevelts next appoint
ment to the district court is fairly sure to be
the nomination of Jewish a Catholic law
YER Politics being what they are and Catholic
voters being more numerous than Jewish voters,
it is a fair bet that a Catholic will be appointed
to fill the current vacancy, and a Jew the next.
American Communists, protesting to have
information from Moscow, are dong what they
can to offset the bad effect of the Russian
trials and supposed executions on American pub
lie opinion. They now saying that leaders
who disappear from the scene in Russia and
are commonly supposed to have been executed
have only been sent away for periods OF contem-
plation" on the errors of their ways of thought
The thing you can be sure of is that
Stain and his friends, whatever the Russian
internal situation may be and whatever may
be the merit Of their elimination of "old BolShe-
viks" have begun to indicate a genuine concern
as to the rest of the worlds reaction.

JAIL SENTENCES
(Santa Ana RegiSterJ

Imposition of jail sentences for conviction in
reckless or drunk driving cases appears to be the
most effective means of curbing needless acci-
dents according to Mayor Byrl R. Salsman of
Pao Alto, known one of California's safest
cities.
Mayor Salsmans convictions on the accident
problem were highlighted by the following OBJ
servations:
In most cases of drunken driving, the evidence
is usually quite cear-either the defendant has
been viewed by enough witnesses to place the
question of intoxication beyond doubt, he
has been given a medical examination which
has clearly established the fact of his sobriety,
or lack of it.
Almost invariably the drunken driver asks
of his lawyer, Will there be any publicity-and
will there be any Jail sentence?' There is no
fear Of fine-not even by the person in financial
distress. There is little fear of revocation of
drivers license. One can drive without a Ii
cenSe, and get away with it-at least a person
who is bold enough to drink and drive usually
has little or tear OF driving without license.
license can frequently be obtained by
some means or device. An impounded or
impounded license plate simply means obtaining
another automobile to drive. In fact penalty
aside from a Jail sentence and the certainty
of jail sentence, seems to have any great weight
But Jail sentence-no matter if only for 10 days

A Joint Drive
For Character Buildinu

1t sheuld be welcome news to FL Cen
trans that the communiy's six character
building agencies have decided again this
year TO combine their efforts in raising
funds to carry on the work they do. The
agencies are the Boy Scouts, the Girl
Reserves, the Campfire Girls, Hipass
Health Camp, Parent-Teachers Assoca-
tlon and the Society for the Hard of
Hearing
Any resident of the community who
can do SO and does not contribute to
the operation of these organizations is
sadly lacking in the spirit which makes
any continuity better place in which
to live. The work done by these groups,
among children and adults both, cannot
be too highly commended
The groups, naturally, concentrate on
younger persons, for they are the future
citizens of the community. Their health
their moral standards and their training
are matters of first Importance not only
to their parents and friends, but to every
resident of the place where they live
ANY work to improve their condition is
a work deserving of wholehearted sup
port.
In these six organizations We have
represented every kind of effort for the
welfare of children, both of high and
low estate. One who contributes to the
operation of the organizations through
the character building drive can feel
rightly that he has done a well rounded
job for the benefit of his community.
When the unselfish leaders of these
groups devote their time and energy to
furthering their high aims, the rest of us
do little enough by giving such financial
support as is in our power.
