Wire Tapping.

In holding that the Supreme Court
intended to ban wire tapping in the Dis
trict as well as in State cases coming
within its jurisdiction, Justice Joseph w.
Cox of the United States District Court
has adopted broad but reasonable in
depreciation of the high courts ruling
in the so-called Nardone case.
That decision was based on a section
OF the Federal Communications Act max
ing it felony for any one to listen in"
on an interstate telephone call or to
divulge any conversation overhead by
such means. Neither the act nor the deci-
sion specifically mentioned the District
and Leslie c. Garnett, then United States
attorney, felt it was incumbent upon him
to make a proffer Of overlapping evi-
dence In an important gambling case
involving Abe Plisco, alias "Jewboy"
Dietz, and number of co-defendants.
His position was that since the Gov
ernment's case against these men rested
almost entirely on e-tapping evidence
and since there was apparently some
doubt as to its admissibility here, it was
clearly his duty to present the evidence
and let the court pass on 1t. The effect
OF the judges ruling is that the Supreme
Court intended to ban wire tapping a. q

Fear Stated as Cause of
Present Business COllapse

To the Editor OF The Star:
Why all this running around in circles
to find the cause of this deplorable de-
preston? We all know what it is, WHY
not come out and say so? 1t can be ex-
pressed by one word-fear.
Fear is holding the money back. It
takes money to pay wages. Being the
most timid thing in the world, money
hides in time of fear 1t is hiding now
IN banks. safety vaults and pockets.
Only confidence can call it back to work.
All the other elements supposed to have
caused this depression come back to this
one governing factor-fear.

enterprise today taxes will absorb the
initial profit. And labor unions, bv de-

Lincoln.

Abraham Lincoln will be problem
always. No theory of human charac-
ter or genius can be devised to account
for him. Even the suggestion that he
combined within himself a number of
qualities of superlative distinction begs
the question. A millinium hence
the power that shaped his spirit,
framed his heart and mind, still will be
mystery. His architect was Coda
force forever beyond the comprehension
of finite intelligence.
Yet Lincoln was not isolated from his
fellow creatures. Rather, he appeared
in the world pageant in the role of an
average boy and an average man. His
birth was humble, his schooling incon-
sequential, his environment and friends
commonplace, his experience during all
but the final phase of his career unex-
ceptional. He came to fame over paths
as rough as any. If he had died in 1856.
not one American in a million would
remember his name. Mention of him
in the annals of his country before that
date was sketchy and scant. He was
forty-seven when his speech at Cooper
Union in New York opened the doors OF
Immortality for him. Less than dec
ade later he was to fall under an assas-
sins hand, the work he wished to do un-
finished, the dream that had sustained
him through his Gethsemane unrealized.
His contemporaries could not explain.
They knew as well as he the sorrowful
truth of his failure to preserve the Tn
ion without the shedding of brothers
blood. 1t shocked but it did not sur
prise them that he should perish in the
quarrel. The Nation, exhausted by long
continued grief, might have supposed
that it possessed no tears to mourn him.
But its resources of sympathy were larger
than it imagined. It learned to love it's
martyred leader in the month which fol-
lowed the tragic Easter of his passing.
Entombed at Springfield, he was safe in
the memory of the latest generation
that ever shall breathe.
But why? The riddle remains unread
as the years fade into shadows. His
portrait is familiar to the eyes of multi
tudes, his words are quoted by infants
and ancients, his example of charity
and freedom from malice inspires a re-
ligion of democracy, he is consciously
selected for emulation by armies of
idealists whose conception of the perfect
citizen is modelled on his philosophy of
mutual altruism No other personality
is more intimately visioned nor more
profoundly respected and admired. And
probably it does not matter that the
living Lincoln escapes analysis. 1t may
be that it is enough to recall that a
miracle happened in pioneer Kentucky
on February IL, 1909.

Equity in Taxation.

In the continuous clamor for more
taxes to meet the increasing cost of
government, both Federal and District,
Congress would do we'll to give ear to
the remarks of the President of the
Maryland Senate and candidate for
Governor of the neighbor State. Lans-
dale G. Sasscer. In an address Senator
6asscer said that what is needed in
Maryland is comprehensive study and
readjustment of "our tax system so that
the necessary expenses of government of
this State can be raised in the most
equitable and just manner
Admitting that it is a great task, he
says that It can be accomplished
through the full cooperation of the
press, associations and committees Of
citizens working in conjunction with
the General Assembly and the Governor.
In consideration of such recapitula-
ton, he warned against what he termed
the greatest enemies of government,
notably, hysteria, propaganda and self
ishness.
Because of the way in which taxes
have been piled up as the need became
paramount, they have become inequit-
able. he contends. Said the Senator:
There exist many reasons in this
State why readjustment in taxation is
necessary, mainly because our entire tax
system Is we have II today has been

matter Of policy and that It's decision was
not to be limited strictly to interstate
phone calls. There can be no quarrel
with the position taken by Justice Cox
since he could hardly have drawn any
other conclusion from the language used
by the Supreme Court.
From many points of view it will be
regrettable if the Government finds 1t
cannot now proceed with It's case against
Plisco and the other gamblers. 1t may
be true that so-called big time" gam
blers cannot be reached except by tap
ping their telephone wires, but if that be
the case the remedy is to amend the
Communications Act. The Government
can i'll afford to permit its investigators
in criminal cases to violate a Federal
statute In their efforts to secure evidence.

Approves Broadcast of
Cases in Traffic Court

To the Editor Of The Star:
I was attracted to news article in The
Star regarding the subject of broadcast
ing the local Traffic Court cases by radio.
I note that three of the four judges who
debated on the question opposed 1t. while
only one seemed to realize the good that
it would do I think that broadcasting
of Traffic Court cases will do much to
impress the general public with what 1t
means to violate the traffic laws and the
cost of carelessness and recklessness. I
am travelling salesman and have trav-
eled in many cities, from the largest to
the smallest, but must admit, as much
as hate to say it, that Washington Is
the worst city Of any that I have ever
driven In. I find 1t better In New York
City or Philadelphia and other larger
cities than do in Washington for safe
driving.

steering wheel thinks only of himself
and disregards courtesy or safety to

John b. Dickman.

Few people have worked longer or

John B. Dickman, president of the Co.
lumbia Typographical Union, whose
friends are planning to pay him de-
served tribute February 2e at the Will
lard Hotel.
HIS whole life in the Capital since
1880, when he came here from Ohio to
work in the Government Printing Office,
has been crowded with civic and pro-
fessional achievement, as recently re-
cited in detail in commendatory articles
IN the newspapers. His modest dis
claimer, to the effect that fifty years is
long time and that his work, when
spread over that period, does not amount
to much. does not impress his friends.
These will not forget his championship
OF community welfare, his campaign for
free textbooks for its public school youth.
his efforts in behalf Of playground MAIN
tenance, his service to his own neigh
borhood as former president of the
North Cleveland Park Citizens Asso-
ciation, his fight for national repre-
sentation.

dent, forget his struggles to win the

mind would be very gruesome and could
