Will face tougher shedding in the

When they voted. members of the
lower chamber didn't have the
benefit of lowdown information
on the reason for this eXtraor-
binary move.
The answer. in the opinion of
surly senators, Is 1910 politics.
The revenue resulting from this
tax is negligible-only $4,000
900 or enough to finance the
federal government for about
fourteen hours. But with Uncle
Sam having the authority to
delve into the incomes of state
and local officials - provided
they tell the truth-Washington
will be in a position to smash
and smear certain state machines
which may not line up for the
New Deal next year.
AS it got Capone. the u. s.
treasury may embarrass numer-
Gus governors and politicos
whose incomes will not stand Of
fetal scrutiny.
Technically, there can be no
objection to the proposed tax.
The constitution provides for
collection of income from what
ever source it is derived. But,
politically, the scheme doesn't
appeal to local politicians. 1t
places them under the gun and
they don't like it.

Editor. The Times: We wish
to call attention to the delay in
starting work on improving
Franklin park. The West End
Improvement club, aided by
other social organizations,
worked over II years to get
the beautiful location included
in our park system.
The Metropolitan park board
agreed to accept the site for a
park provided a clear title was
obtained. The requirements
have been fulfilled but no action
has been taken.
Franklin park, a natural
beauty spot, will fill a long-felt
want Of residents IN that To-
cality. and its addition to our
park system will be a distinct
gain. especially to children IN
that locality.

PULSE OF THE PUBLIC

Editor The Times In this
column of late. there appeared
an article regarding employing
of pensioner Dew, eX-chief of
Tacoma police as Waterman
at the Narrows bridge
Perhaps his presence there
would enable the builders to
advertise a double feature show
and exhibit our eX-chief with
his double barred, flaming red
mustache to induce tourists to
visit our fair city
Rep. Hugh Rosellini has taken
a step in the right direction, to
prohibit the state from hiring
those that are on.a pension Of
over fifty dollars. If one will
investigate the number of those
that are now employed by the
state, they will support the
game youngster in his noble
fight.

|S2,OOO VERDICT
 REMAINS AS IS
Jury Decision FavOring SOIomitO Against Truck
 ing Firm Stands

Judge John A. Cornell in superior court this morning denied a motion to set aside a $2,000 verdict, rem dered two weeks ago by jury in the case of Antonio Eolomito, ad- ministrator, against the Howard w. Conner company.
 The suit was brought by Solo, mito as a result of an accident, which took place last winter at the corner of South Leonard and Sev- enth streets in which his nine year old son was killed. The youth was sliding from Seventh street into South Leonard street and slid un- der the rear wheel of a Conner O., truck being almost instantly killed.
 Atty. Edward J. Mascolo for the plaintiff claimed that the Conner Co, truck was not equipped with chains or windshield wiper and that the street pavement at the scene of the accident was slippery and the weather misty.
 Atty. Walter Monagan for the Conner O., sought to have the ver- dict set aside on the grounds of con- tributory negligence on the part of the deceased youth.
 Judge Cornell finds in denying the motion that contributory neg ligence was not proved in the case.

 KILLS DEMURRER

(Continued from Page D charge of theft from the person and assault and that he was arraigned before Justice Pope with MT. Flynn prosecuting. He was found guilty, 1t is stipulated, and fined $25 and costs and given jail sentence of 30 days. the jail sentence being sus- pended. On June 27, 1t Is alleged his case was reopened and the sus- pension of the jail sentence was re- voked. Gmitraz was taken to the Watertown jail and held for a day while his attorney, John F. Tobin, was securing a writ of habeas corpus which was granted by Judge. Robert s. Munger of the superior court.
 Appeal Had Been Taken
 Between thhe time he was first arrested and June 27th Attorney Tobin had taken an appeal to the court of common pleas here and the suit was brought on the grounds that neither Justice Pope or Grand Juror Flynn had Jurisdiction in the case.
 Atty. Blansfield in his demurrer sought to have the case thrown out of court on the ground that the defendants were wholly within their rights in reopening the case.
 Judge Cornell finds however, that neither of the defendants had pow CT under the law on December 27 to reopen the case, as the appeal had been taken to the common pleas court. He finds that Justice Pope did not act within the limits of his power as a justice of the peace and the immunities and defenses, which interpose to protect judicial officers in the performance of their authorized duties are not available to him.
 The ruling in the Flynn case which is similar to the Pope case sets forth at the end that "the plaintiff is entitled to present his whole story and to have he mater determined on its merits.
 The case has caused much At- tention throughout the state.

Germany Strives For End Of All Hostilities
tContinued from Page D

Tt amounts to this-that the Brit ish and with them their French sup porters of war have declared some- thing in the nature of an 'idealogi- cal war on Germany. It is remi- niscent of the religious wars of olden times.
 "Is 1t back to the middle ages, to days of religious war, superstition and cultural deterioration that the ruling classes of Britain and France want to drag us?"
 No Justification For War
 Molotov said that there Is "abso- lutely no justification" for the pres- ent war.
 He said that the theology of Hit- lerism cannot be destroyed by force.
 Tt is therefore not only senseless but criminal to wage such a war as war for the destruction of Hit lerism', camouflaged as Q fight for democracy, Molotov said.
 He attacked the action of the French government in banning the French Communist party.
