IN DODD CASE

HANOVER COURTHOUSE,
Va, Jan. 6 G.N.SO.-A possible
penalty of anything from a fine
to a sentence of five years in the
penitentiary as a "hit-and-run"
driver is the predicament facing
william E. Dodd, former ambaS-
sador to Germany, who is due to
be given a hearing here next

Wction can be from one to five

more than $4,000. The statute
provides for both confinement

injury or death to a person is
punishable to the extent of five
years in prison. He said he did
not know the statute.

REVOLT RISES
ACAINSTPLAN
To- hike TAXES
Spending Curb Asked.
As Alternative
BY ARTHUR HACHTEN

U.N S. Revolt against Presi-
dent Roosevelt'S budget message
recommendation for an increase
of SAP ,000, 900 in tax levies, de-
Veloped in Congress today.
In both Democratic and Repub-
lican ranks there was much pro-
testing against piling new tax bur-
dens upon the country.
"MIDDLE ROAD" URGED
A "middleroad reduction in
expenditures and some increase in
taxes was being urged by influen-
tial legislators.
Flat notice was given by. Sena.
tor King CD, Utah, member OF
the Senate Finance Committee,
that he would vote against any
increase in taxes. Senator Capper.
Kansas Republican, demanded
Slashes in expenditures in lieu Of
a tax boost.
Opposition to a $422, ,000, 900 tax
increase was also voiced by Sena-
tor Lewis, of Illinois, Democratic
whip.
In the House prediction was
made by Representative Woodrum
Cd, Virginia, a leader on the Ap-
preparations Committee, that the
economy ak would be swung on
the budget proposals.
EVERY SOURCE LIABLE
"Where can we get the new
revenue?" Senators and Rep
resentatives asked.
LAS long as this spending pro-
gram continues you will have to
tax every kind, shape and form
of source" said Senator Bailey
CD, North Carolina, also a
member of the Senate Finance
Committee.
There was talk of increasing the
inheritance and estate taxes as
well as the personal income taxes,
chiefly in the middle and low
brackets. Lewis believes the Presi-
dent would favor such action be-
cause he told Congress in his an
nual message he would be willing
to pay more income taxes and
have more taxes levied on his eS-
tate upon his death in order to
perpetuate American institutions.
STIFLING FEARED
But Congressional tax experts
said they doubted $400,000,0 900
could be raised by those methods
alone without sitting Individual
enterprise and confiscating estates.
Revival of demands for broaden
ing the tax base to embrace about
100000 "little fellows who do
not now pay Federal income taxes,
was assured. Senator La Toilette
(PO, Wisconsin, another member
of the Senate Finance Committee,
has advocated that course ever
since the annual tax increases of
the Roosevelt administration be-
gan.
Senator Borah R0. Idaho, has

tends the "lower third" already
are paying too much in the taxes
added to the cost of things they
buy.
BANKHEAD OFFERS PLAN
Senator Bankhead CD, Ala
bama, suggested in an interview
with International News Service
that a manufacturers sales tax be
levied 80 we can make those who
are benefitting by tariff protection
pay a greater part Of the burden" "
II am absolutely opposed to
the Presidents proposal to in
crease taxes over $400, 1000 ,000,"
King stated. Business now is
sagging under the weight of
taxes. We ought to cut expen-
ditures all along the line and
stop this spending spree of the
Government.
Capper spoke in similar vein.

Attorney for Employers
Pleads for Cooperation
First Move Made

SEATTLE, April 5.-Unions en-
gagged in the Alaska salmon indus
try are considering an offer Of the
canned salmon industry to establish
wage and hour working conditions
on the basis of that which prevailed
in 1888 out of Puget Sound ports.
The employers proposal was sub
mitted the first time by A. l. ELS
worth, Chairman of the Employers
Labor Committee, who said no
meetings Of unions were scheduled
for today in order that each worker
might have time to consider the
proposal separately.
At salmon workers meeting last
night, sponsored by the Washington
District Council of the Maritime
Federation, union speakers said the
jurisdictional disputes are not re-
sponsible for the delay in obtaining
working agreements, and resolutions
were made condemning jurisdic-
tional picketing and protesting to
employment of eastern sailors in
the Seattle-Oriental shipping serv-
ice
Attorney Matt Hill spoke for the
employers, saying the packers are
helpless to effect agreements as long
as controversies existed among the
unions.

WASHINGTON, April 5. = Not
in many a year has quite such an
extraordinary character as Bill
Douglas been placed on the Supreme
Court.
He has the bearing of a first SER
geant, the vocabulary of Boccacio
and an apt choice of words that
likely will make his written opin-
ions choice tidbits for legal epicures.
He will regale stag party with
the raciest tales extant in Washing

pared to deliver as exacting piece
of legal argument as could be
wished.
When man has arrived at a goal
it is mere trace work to pick up evil
dence he dropped by the way to
show where he was going. Such was
the case with Douglas. Undoubtedly
he has known for several months
that the President has been looking
him over as a possible court APP
pointee. With the finger of destiny
pointing at him he has become per-
haps more philosophic in his speech
es than earlier.
Thus he has merged humanistic
philosophy with corporate doc
trine in several recent talks. In
January he spoke before the Fort

of directors. AS class, he said, they
