Go|dsborough's Record
Praised by COLLEAGUE

Representative Spence, Democrat,
of Kentucky, told the House the
resignation of T. Alan Goldsborough
as representative from Maryland's
first district took from Congress
sound advice, broad knowledge and
delightful companionship."
He added in a statement inserted
In the Congressional Record that
Mr.. Goldsborough. who resigned to
take a place as judge on the Dis
trict of Columbia Federal Court
bench, served in Congress for 1S
years with great distinction"
HE has not only demonstrated
a high order of intellect, but a pas
sionate regard for the welfare of
the people of his district and of
the entire Nation -.
Another career of great useful
ness and distinction awaits him.
The same qualities which made a
great and useful legislator will make
an able, upright and just judge.
while Alan Goldsborough is a
man of strong convictions and i'm
pulsive nature. he has a passion
for truth and justice which will
assure the cold neutrality of an
impartial judge in the discharge of
the important duties of his new
position"

Mr.. Nichols said the tax on the
income of non-residents would apply
only to that portion actually earned
In the District. He also emphasized
that q majority Of the Federal en-
ployes in the District would escape
the income tax because of the ex-
emption of salaries under $4,000.
In addition, Mr.. Nichols explained
the tax on incomes would not apply
to members of Congress who would
be exempt. He pointed out that
member Of Congress receives $4,000
. year, but would be allowed $1,000
personal exemption If unmarried,
and, therefore, would not be subject

Our Famous Checks and Balances.
All governments have three func-
ticns: The executive, or administra-
ton of laws; the legislative, or max
ing of laws; the judicial, or en-
forcing of laws. No other govern
ment, however, has separated these
three functions to such an extent
or placed so many checks and
balances upon them as has the
United States. The famous Amer
ican doctrine of separation of
powers" is a familiar way of refer
ring to our device for protecting our
selves against too great a concen-
tration of power. Checks and bal
ances are often spoken of as a part
of that device. BY checks and bal
ances we mean checking the power
of one branch Of government by that
of another, as when the executive
is given the veto on legislation, or,
on the other hand, when the legis-
lative branch is given a share in
executive appointments. 1t Is no
ticeable that such checks also serve
to bring together to some slight ex-
tent the parts of the Government
that would otherwise be entirely
separate. Through custom also the
different parts Of the Government
have come together to some degree.
For example, the power Of the ju-
dicial branch to decide whether laws
are permissible under the Federal
Constitution has. through custom,
become a very great influence on our
law. The founders probably did not
clearly foresee this, nor did they
foresee the rise of the party sys-
tenn. Through that system the
executive and the members of the
legislative body of the same party
often work together, and thus in
another case the separation is some
what modified. There has always
been a good deal Of criticism Of the
famous doctrine. Bryce, that ad-
mirer of the United States, once
declared that our separation Of
powers has turned out to be not the
keeping apart of things really dis
tinct, but the forcible distinction
of things naturally connected. It
may be that Bryce is right, but we
must consider whether what he is
pointing out is a defect in the prin.
ciple that guided our forefathers or
defects in the way we have been
applying that principle.

The Easter crowds here we're
swelled by thousands Of visitors,
many Of them students enjoying
their Easter holidays. They mingled
in the Easter parade Of women
in attires of colorful hues and OF

promenade centered principally in

Curtis A. Hodge. director OF the
Greater National Capital Commit
tee of the Washington Board Of
Trade, estimated that between 100.-
600 and 100000 out-of town visitors
were here for the day. The num-
ber Mr.. Hodge said. exceeded that
for the previous Sunday, when the
cherry blossoms brought many
visitors here.
The National Park Service had
no figures on the number Of visitors
to the national shrines and places
Of interest. but said large crowds
visited all points.
The Zoo was one OF the most popu-
lar places. Of11cials reported $4,000
persons visited the Zoo during the
day. This number, it was said. is
about the same as on past Casters.
Distinguished leaders in life in
the National Capital, public officials,

As part Of the house IL IL protected

most impossible to obtain IL the
garage is situated in some far cor
ner Of the lot. Aside from that, it
is more readily accessible in bad
weather.
Chief among the advantages of
planning the garage as part Of the
house is in retaining the yards for
lawn and garden space instead of
giving them over for necessary
driveways.
Driveways Costly.
Good driveways are expensive to
build and costly to maintain, II is
said. The small home of today can
be made more attractive and liv-
able through good landscaping and
the employment Of yard space to
better advantage. The demands of
a driveway frequently make il i'm
possible to achieve the charm that
a small garden can impart.
