Tuxicub Limitation

Washington's vexing taxicab prob
lem, which has grown steadily for
nearly fifteen years, primarily is due
to the excessive number of cabs on
the streets, and the inequitable zone
system of rates. Failure to solve the
problem results from the fact that
while the Public Utilities Commission
is nominally charged with regulation
of cabs, specific acts of Congress and
decisions of the courts have denied
the local officials authority to act.
This phase has Just been demon
Strated in respect to the control of
taxicab liability insurance rates.
1t is therefore gratifying that a bill
has been introduced in the House,
and approved by the Public Utilities
Subcommittee of the District Com
mittee, giving the Public Utilities
Commission specific authority to
regulate the taxicab business.
The bill would allow the commits
sion to limit cabs to approximately
two thousand six hundred instead of
the four thousand six hundred now
on the streets. 1t would permit the
licensing of less than four thousand
drivers. But even more far-reaching
results are aimed at than the limita-
ton of vehicles. The bill would go
long way toward correcting the
abuses of the present system of
financing cabs, and would tend to-
ward making greater proportion of
the machines on the streets owner
operated. This would be accom-
plished by freezing" licenses until
the definite maximum is decided
upon, preventing trading in licenses
by big fleet operators; by prohibiting
arbitrary revocations to meet the
limitations of the act; and by re-
voking the licenses of repossessed
cabs.
In general, the bill is in line with
the legislation sought by officials
and many cab operators alike. These
opinions, with some deviations, were
voiced in the recent hearings which
pointed out the necessity of action
of this type. The legislation neces-
sary for correcting the zone rate
system appears as far off as ever,
but the present measure to limit the
number of cabs and to prevent some
of the financing abuses is decidedly
progressive.

Submarine Rescue

The latest devices which human
ingenuity has devised for submarine
rescue work were being assembled
today at Portsmouth, N. H., in an
effort to save the officers and men
of the U. S. S. Squalus. Some of
these devices may be put to the
proof for the first time with the lives
Of the crew as the price of success or
failure.
BY condolences of that type which
young writer's of fiction are warned
should not be employed, the Wash
ington Navy Yards Experimental
Diving Unit has conducted full dress
rehearsals, unwittingly, for the
drama they may be called upon to
play today, on the actual rescue
scene, and had already assembled
their full rescue equipment at Ports
mouth.
Last July Lieutenant Commander
Charles B. Momsen, chief of the local
unit, and his highly trained officers
and men conducted deep sea diving
tests in the area where the Squalus
went down from the same rescue
ship which was to arrive there today.
Only last week they had sent to
Portsmouth the full supply of rescue
equipment from the Washington
Navy Yard for resumption of those
experiments.
Thus, through two strange quirks
of fortune, the finest type of equip
ment is available and trained men,
familiar with the area in which they
may be called upon to work and
with the equipment they must use,
are ready for rescue duty.
An anxious nation may take some
comfort from the fact that the best
of human skill and equipment are
available for the attempt to rescue
the crew of the Squalus. The sunken
submarine herself carries all of the
latest emergency equipment-meth-
ods of keeping her vital supply of air
fit for breathing for as much as a
week, full supplies of emergency ra-
tionS and water. She carries a
Momsen lung" for each man aboard;
devices as yet untried under actual
conditions of real emergency, which
are available if other means of es-
cape fail
Barring the tragedy of stormy
weather, the Navy is we'll equipped
for the great effort it is about to
make. In this latest test of man
against the sea, the officers and men
of the rescue fleet face their task
with the full resources of science at
their disposal and the prayers of
their countrymen to encourage them.

sideration.
The modern idea of delving into every
thing, pulling up old fads and fancies,
and seeing what is in them, has scarcely
been given the credit it deserves.
Photography, bicycling, badminton-
these are just three activities which
have been taken out of storage, brushed
off, and frightened up by the interest
Of thousands of young inquiring minds.
Photography, it must be admitted, has
never been exactly in storage, but surely
1t has experienced tremendous revival
Of interest and application in the past
ten years, even less.
Bird study often must be suggested
to people before they will take 1t up.
They are so used to taking birds for
granted, like air and water.
Some folk think it sign of weakness
to think about diet, for instance. Things
you do every day, they feel, are beyond
the lines of conversation. Threat of q
war 5000 miles off-that is worth talking
lawn is just something to overlook.
But the robin battle is close at hand

one has come to look upon these big

The person interested in them can
never be lonely as long as he has them

The fearful persistency of human
likes and dislikes disappear into thin
air, much to the relief of certain types
of minds, in the friendly contemplation
of these bits of feathered life whose
needs are SO amazingly like our own
and yet so vastly different.
We give them food but they are not
beggars.
We watch their lives, but we do not
pry in doing so.
We have no arguments or i'll feelings
with them. There is no chance for an
inferiority complex. We need not read

their feeding board
1t is give take with them. We
give and they take, and that is the best
way, after all. Religion tells us so, and
the birds prove it.
But they give a great deal, too, al
though they do not know it.
Our taking is along the line of interest
the only commodity which may be taken
from another without depriving him ot

Tax on Judges

Although the decision clashes with
precedent, the Supreme Court has
reached what appears to be logical
conclusion in upholding the consti-
tutionality of the law subjecting to
income tax the salaries of Federal
judges appointed after June 6, 1882.
The law was attacked on the
ground that it violates Article three
of the Constitution which provides
that the compensation of judges
shall not be diminished during their
continuance in office. That was a
safeguard designed to prevent the
judiciary from being singled out for
punitive treatment, and should not
apply to a tax levy which is general
in application.
In the present case, the seven-to-
one decision read by Justice Frank
furter emphasized that the test had
been instituted by a member of the
bench appointed subsequent to the
passage Of the law, declaring there
fore that "to suggest that it makes
inroads upon the independence of
judges who took office after Congress
had thus charged them with the
common duties of citizenship, by
making them bear their aliquot
share of the cost of maintaining the
Government is to trivialize the great

Cesar Frunck

Cesar Franck was a great man as
well as a great artist. His life, like
his music, was unstained by fault.
Everything that he was and every
thing that he did is beautiful. A
biographer says of him: "A more
sincere, modest, self-respecting COM
poser probably never existed In the
center of the brilliant French capital
he was able to lead a laborious exist
ence consecrated to his threefold
career of organist, teacher and COM
poser. He never sought to gain the
SuffrageS Of the public by unworthy
concessions, but kept straight on his
path, ever mindful of an ideal to be
reached and never swerving there
from"
Belgian by birth, German by
descent and a naturalized citizen of
France from 1878 onward, Franck
may be regarded as universalist
in his attitude toward his work and
toward others laboring in similar
fields. Some portion of his inspira-
ton came from the Bible, some from
classic mythology, some from Orien-
tai tradition, some from his imme-
date environment and the culture
of which he was part. He was a
modernist without being intolerant
of the past musical antiquarian
without being contemptuous of his
own time. In effect, he played upon
an unlimited keyboard. His mind
and heart found loveliness and nobil-
ity everywhere. The explanation, of
course, lay in the maturity of his
spirit.
Fortunately, he was granted
strength equal to his aspiration. He
began his earthly pilgrimage at
Liege, December 10, 1922; removed to
Paris at fifteen; was ceaselessly busy
there until his death, November 8,
1890. BY choice, it seems, he simpli-
fed his interests, sacrificing all other
concerns to his devotion to music.
His discrimination, perhaps, made
possible his vast productivity. But
1t does not account for his range of
composition. Any man who could
write masses and operas, motets and
chorafs, sonatas and symphonies,
pieces for the organ and the piano,
the violin and its sister instruments,
oratorios and many songs must have
been an energetic genius. Such
scope requires compelling dynamic.
1t Is not remarkable that Franck
was incompletely comprehended
while yet he lived. Now, after half
a century, he is better appreciated.
His Symphony in D Minor" intro
duces him to thousands of new
friends in Washington. It's grandeur
and its glory are a guarantee for
the increase of his fame immortally
among people sensitive to harmony

of Columbia. Due to a shortage of
judges available to handle the con-
stantly increasing work, the court in
recent years has fallen far behind
in trial of civil cases. The docket
has become congested with suits that
should have been heard one or even
two years ago. 1t was to ameliorate
these conditions in District Court
and to relieve congestion in the
Court of Appeals that Congress last
year created three new District Court
judgeships and one new appellate
Judgeship, Washington has awaited
impatiently for the last of these
appointments because of the urgent
need for full judicial staff and in
the hope that another Washington
nian might be chosen for the final
appointment.
Mr.. Morris is from Florida. Of the
three new District Court judgeships,
therefore, the District of Columbia
has received one appointment, that
of Justice Laws. The third post went
to Marylander, Justice Colds
borough. The new Court of Ap-
peals assignment was given an out
of-the-city man, Dean Rutledge of
Iowa. With the appointment of Mr..
Morris, there will be twelve judges in
District Court, only six of whom are
full-fedged Washingtonians. Yet
nearly ninety percent of all the cases
coming before that court are of
purely local origin. There is no rep
resentative of the District Of Colun1-
bia on the six-man Court of Appeals,
sixty percent of the work of which
involves District cases. However, the
Department of Justice does not re-
gard the Court of Appeals as local
institution in the sense that the Dis
trict Court is a local tribunal. The
Appeals Court here is called upon to
handle some of the governments
more important legal actions, to pass
upon many vital national issues. The
Attorney Generals office feels that
personal and professional qualifica-
tions, rather than geographical con-
siderations, should be the principal
guide in selecting the appellate
judges.
The feeling of disappointment
which many District residents natu-
rally will experience by reason of the
failure Of the President to name
Washington lawyer to the last of
the District Court vacancies will be
tempered by the fact that Judge
Designate Morris is we'll and favor
ably known here. There will be wide
spread qualification withal over the
prospect of speedier justice in the
civil branches of the court. The
time even may come, it is hoped,
when the civil docket will be as up
to-date as the criminal docket has
become, thanks to vigorous action by
the District Attorneys Office and
wholehearted cooperation of the ju-
dietary.

It is Of interest, however, in view
Of the law just enacted to tax judges
appointed prior to June 6, 1882, that
the opinion added:
ITO subject them to a general tax
is merely to recognize that judges
are also citizens, and that their par
ticular function in government does
not generate an immunity from
sharing with their fellow citizens the
burden of the Government whose
Constitution and laws they are
charged with administering. 1t
may be inferred from that language
that ultimately the court will hold

Dear Sir:
Since we have taken house we have
discovered your column.
I'VE read it every night and almost
always clip 1t and send it to my mother
In Nebraska, who also has great in
terest in birds and flowers.
Our back yard adjoins a bit Of wild
woods, and many birds come to our feed
ing board. which is nailed to the pantry
window sill.
After many years of apartment living
every bird is thrill to US. Sparrows,
four cardinals, chickadees and a downy
woodpecker have been our most frequent
visitors.
MY 3h-year-old son knows them by
sight-and by song, too. I'm so glad
he is acquiring a love of birds early, for
think that interest will stay with him
all his life.
Thank you for your interesting COL
umn. We all grieved over the murder Of
the baby cardinals. Your column on the
care of books and phonograph records
interested us, too. Sincerely, L. B."
Learning to know the birds early is a
good thing.
Here Is a field of knowledge. which
might as well be entered-but think how
many of us know nothing at all about
the birds until we are middle-aged
The child brought up to know birds by
sight and sound has sure advantage.
He has more friends, a whole world of
feathered folk whose glamour" is an
cient but quite modern in appeal
One doesn't throw rocks or shoot at
friends, of course.
1t is curious fact that apartment life
usually has a dampening effect on ma
ture study.
Perhaps it is because everything is
done for one. The tendency is to confine
ones self within walls, not even to look
out the window after one comes home.
Trips out are to the theater, etc.
Somehow the apartment resident sell
dom stops to think that life is all around
one-even in an apartment-that birds
come to window sills there as elsewhere,
even though not in such numbers
There is too, the inhibiting influence
of too close neighbors, so close, one or
more of whom always will be found to
raise kick" about those horrid birds -
Personal interest is a necessity in this
study. II one has no interest, bird is
not living entity, but Just thing to
be disregarded.

Defends Position
On Refugees.

oA AcAukccS.
To the Editor Of The Star:
In your edition of yesterday J. C. Pat
ton takes issue with some of my remarks
on the refugee problem. Since the ques-
ton rises above pique and poetry, may +,
without indulging in controversial
amenities" ask the favor of a few ad-
ditional lines?
Mr. Patton mentions one society that
has been bringing in from 200 to 300
children year for five years and speaks
OF another far-f1ung agency that has
been bending might and main toward
reilef. He does not say that, despite all
tnls and very much more, the painfully
small quota failed to be filled last year
by some 10000. To say this is not by
any means to cast aspersions on or dis
parage the efforts of Jew and non-Jew
but to indicate the magnitude and gray
ity OF the problem. Good intentions
and jealous effort on the part of some
mean little in time of dire stress with
out the cooperation of all who think in
terms of humanity and brotherhood.
Even II the Wagner refugee bill is i'm
perfect 1t at least gives some ray of
hope, just as diminutive Palestine up to
now has given. The drowning man can
not stop to quibble about the size Of the
straw. Manifestly, the bill aims to succor
all refugees within its limited scope, not
alone Jewish and Catholic, and If per-
chance some few unanticipated and un-
desired are admitted, their number of
necessity will be insignificant. At least
the very first hundred ought to tell.
