the wisdom or non-wisdom of this

revolutionary attack upon representa-
tive democracy.
Il loath and abominate war as much
as any member of the House, but am
unwilling to abandon the wisdom and
judgment of the trainers Of our Con-
stitution. Are the American people
not willing to trust their elected rep
resentatives in Congress? Our Com
mander in Chief, who loves peace as
much as any man on earth, is opposed
to this measure"
Speaker Bankhead then read to the
House the letter he had received from
President Roosevelt,
Representative Fish, Republican, OF
New York, replying to Speaker Bank
head, declared:
Il have faith in the American
people and profound confidence in
them. believe in their right to

adoption of the proposed war referen.
DUN resolution would be the most
tremendous blunder since the forma
ton of the Union He added that i,
would do more to put the United State.
into war than any other act Congress
could take.
Representative O'Connor, speaking
against the resolution, insisted it wa:
move toward a pure democracy and
against representative form of gov
ernment.
When you have a pure democracy,
said Mr.. O'Connor. the next step is
dictatorship. That is what We are
fighting here today"
Representative Boileau of Wiscon-
sin, leader Of the Progressive bloc
spoke strongly in favor of the resolu-
tion. as did Representative Crosser,
Democrat. of Ohio. Mr.. Boileau said
the administration leaders are making
great deal of the argument that a
referendum would break down repre-
sentative government. He said the
administration, in the past. has sup
ported referendas among farmers on
whether little pigs should be slaueh-
tered, and he saw no reason now Why
the administration should oppose the
referendum on war.
Injured Member Votes.
"A war referendum" said Mr..
Boileau, is opposed by the foes of
democracy. 1t is opposed by the forces
Of fascism and communism"
During the roll call Representative
Costello, Democrat, of California, who
was injured in an automobile acci-
dent recently, was brought into the
chamber in wheel chair with his
leg bandaged, to vote no" The
House applauded vigorously Mr.. Co.'S
tello's first appearance since his ac-
ciGent.
Representative Edith Nourse Rog-
ers, Republican, of Massachusetts
spoke in opposition to the referendum.
She said she had seen the horrors of
war abroad, and she was against war
but an amendment of this kind
would mean lack of proper prepared
ness in this country. She charged
that every interest hostile to this
country was supporting this amend
ment.
House Well Filled.
Showing the intense interest which
the resolution has aroused, more than
quorum of the House was on hand
when Representative Ludlow, Demo-
crat, of Indiana rose to move under
the rules of the House that the Ju-
dietary Committee be DISCHARGED from
further consideration of his resolu-
ton.
Mr.. Ludlow addressed the House
briefly, urging that his resolution be
taken up for debate and that the de-
bate be without bitterness and re-
elimination. The national mind, he
said, today is deeply worried over the
possibility of war.
1--WE want to keep our country out
OF war" said Mr.. Ludlow. He said
while looking for remedy, every ave-
nue. should be examined; and he
urged that his proposal for a consti-
tutional amendment for a referendum
on war should be among those con-
Sidered

nized by Speaker Bankhead and he
Immediately yielded five minutes to

HOLDING COMPANY
RULING PROMISED
Supreme Court Sets Feb. I
as Date for Hearings
on Issue.

A prompt ruling on the consttu-
ttonality of the 1885 act regulating
public utility holding companies was
assured today when the Supreme
Court, at the request Of the Govern
ment, set February as a date for
hearing arguments on the question.
Validity of the act has been at
tackled by the Electric Bond e. Share
Co, but the law was upheld in the
lower courts.
The court also moved to expedite
beginning of construction work on
municipal power plants in four Ala
bama communities in line with its
recent ruling that private power COM
panies cannot challenge legality of
P. w. A. loans and grants for that
purpose, At the request OF the Gov
eminent, Chief Justice Hughes Or
dered that the courts decision be
placed in effect Immediately instead
Of waiting the customary 25 days.
Dupont Appeal Lost.
Almours Securities, Inc, corpor-
alton formed by Alfred I. du Pont of
Wilmington, Del, failed in an effort
to escape paying the Federal Gov
ernment s2,069,822 taxes for 1881
and 1882.
The court refused to review a de-
eislon against the corporation by the
Board Of Tax Appeals and the Fifth
Circuit Court of Appeals.
The j. D. Adams Manufacturing
Co. OF indianapolis won a court re-
view OF its attack on the validity of
the Indiana gross income tax act of
1888. The high court consented to
review decision of the Indiana Su-
preme Court, upholding the statute
and ruling it applied to the gross re-
celpts of a manufacturer from sales
and from tax-exempt bonds of Indiana
municipalities.
The company-holder of 5000. 900
m bonds-contended that 80 per cent
OF its machinery manufacturing busi-
ness was with customer0o In
diana. and that the law was uncon-
stltutlonal AS applied to receipts from
these sales because this would consti-
tute AN illega. burden upon COM
merce"
1t also argued that the statute was
unconstitutional as applied to interest
on the tax-exempt bonds.
Income Tax Ruling.
The court also ruled that American
citizens must pay United States in
come tax on dividends due from Brit
ish corporations, but withheld by the
corporation for payment Of income tax
to Great Britain.
Justice Stone delivered the decision
on cases resulting from an attempt by
the commissioner OF internal revenue
to collect s27,722 from Mary Duke
Blddle of New York for 1929 and
S2,422 from George w. Elkins of
Elkins Park, Pa, for 1881.
The Government contended the
stockholders should not be exempt
from United States income tax be-
cause they had not paid directly the
assessment to Great Britain.
Justice Stone said "our statutes
afford no scope for saying that the
stockholder of British corporation
pays the tax which is laid upon and
collected from the corporation"
Justices McReynolds. Sutherland
and Butler dissented without a writ
ten opinion.

Mr.. Drksen agreed with Mr.. Hazen
on these points. There were several
passing references to the proposals
for an income tax or a general sales
tax for the District, but no extended
discussion. While it had been ex-
pected the Commissioners would be

posals. this did not develop.
