A Sound Decision

The Supreme Court, in a unani-
nous decision delivered by Associate
Justice Jackson, has struck down
some of the most inequitable fea-
lures of the Districts income tax law.
This law, as enacted by Congress
and interpreted by the local Court
Of Appeals, whose ruling was re-
versed by the Supreme Court, set up
a tax-exempt haven in the District
for persons with certain claims to
being domiciled in the States. These
persons, most Of them voting con-
Stituents of members of Congress,
received the full benefit of all mu-
nicipal services but, as the law had
been drafted and interpreted, were
relieved of the necessity of paying
their share of the cost of these
services.
The Supreme Courts ruling does
not bring all Of these specially privi-
legged residents of the District within
the taxpaying fold. For example,
it suggests rather plainly that "those
dependent upon the action of a local
constituency on the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in November"
are exempt from the tax. But there
are about 10000 District residents,
heretofore exempt, who are brought
within the scope Of the statute as
result OF the decision.
The language Of the opinion makes
it clear that the court believes doubt
full cases should be resolved in favor
of the District. This is shown by
the specific statement that "the place
where a man lives Is properly taken
to be his domicile until facts ad-
duced establish the contrary" and
by the further observation that "the
taxing authority is warranted in
treating as prima facie taxable any
person quartered in the District on
tax day whose status 1t deems doubt
full
In brief, the court has held that
persons are domiciled here, and
therefore subject to the tax, who live
here and have no fixed and definite"
intent to return Ito the States) and
make their home where they were
formerly domiciled. Furthermore, it
seems clear that the decision requires
the individual claiming exemption to
prove that he has this fixed and
definite intent and does not place the
burden in this respect on the local
authorities.
The court, in general way, set
out certain standards as guides to
District officials in passing on par
ticular questions Of domicile but did
not prescribe any hard and fast tests.
Thus, for example, 1t was pointed out
that whether or not one votes where
he claims domicile is highly relevant
but by no means controlling"
The net result Of this decision Is
that Congress, by writing the am
biguous requirement of domicile into
the law as condition of tax Habil-
ity, has not removed all voting con-
stituents from the statutes scope
This question Of domicile is one Of
fact as well as law, and the Supreme
Court, in keeping with its long stand
ing adherence Of what 1t once called
little islands of tax immunity" has
armed local authorities with a de-
gree Of discretion which should en-
able them to draw the line between
those who claim domicile in the
States in good faith and those who
would merely seize upon the ambi-
guilty to escape payment Of proper
taxes. That was about all the court
could have been expected to do by
way of improving a bad law.

Finds Solace in Bergson
In Times Of Terror.
Dickerson, Md.

To the Editor Of The Star
Bergson, the great French philosopher
and scientist, compared the panorama
Of unfolding human events to a moving
picture. Like the Cinema" the tragedies,
sorrows and horrors Of physical being
flicker briefly on the screen of life and
then are no more. Bergson, like Buddha,
evidently regarded this material movie"
as a dreamlike something, possessing
neither permanence nor reality.
We are prone to dwell too deeply on
the terrors of these times. However, we
have the consolation Of knowing that
even the deepest darkness is always
followed by the dawn.

the fuel of the human body and are
essential In any diet to keep up body
heat and energy. Almost fourth con-
sists of proteins, nitrogen-containing
substances essential to growth and the
building up of the body. There are
small amounts Of various oils.
This leaves, Nature points out, about
one fourth in the form of cellulose, basic
material of cloth and paper, which is
undigestible by man. Human beings
haven't the same kinds of stomachs as
cows and horses, equipped to deal with
celluloSe.
This makes it questionable, Nature
concludes, "how much young grass, If
indeed any, can be safely eaten over a
prolonged period by the average human
subject. The physical state of cellulose,
which is in long f1bers liable to become
bound into large, obstructive masses,
must be borne in mind. 1t would seem
dangerous to advocate the use of grass
as an ordinary article Of diet without
the evidence of extensive scientific ex-
periments as to the amount that can
be safely ingested without overlooking
the intestines"

reported by Drs. w. H. Bolton and r.

grateful for the jungle mans aid
and, truth to tell, most of them are.
There's one, however, who Is weak
enough to have aspirations about
cutting in on TarZan's treasure.
That is where the melodrama en-
tiers, bringing the picture to its
spectacular climax.
1t is not an easy matter, the pic
ture makes clear, for fellow OF
even Tarzan's strength and cunning
to Illustrate such an intelligent
brigand. He accomplishes 1t by
mastering the aid Of herd Of mad
elephants and savage tribe which
is savage only toward the right
people. 1t makes quite a thrilling
denouement, you can bet.
AS in all Tarzan pictures, the
camera and property crews con-
tribute brightly to the aggregate
amazement of it all A couple OF
sequences in which they do excel
lently on rather a simple scale are
those devised to show Weissmuller's
underwater swimming prowess. 1t
is quite a prowess, as 1t always has
been.
The acting of "Tarzan's Secret
Treasure" is up to the usual stand
ard, higher when Fitzgerald Is hav-
ing anything to do with it as he
frequently is. Miss O'Sullivan's
pretty Irish brogue contributes the
same whimsical charm to jungle
life that it always has and young
John Sheffield, the Tarzan off,
spring, indicates that there is no
reason why the family tradition OF
adventure should end when Weiss
muller does, if ever.
1t is a nicely supplemental stage
show that Gene Ford has whipped
up for Tarzan and Christmas week
at the Capitol. Its star turns out to
be Harriet Hoctor, the ballerlna,
who this time concentrates on her
Raven number, an item nicely de-
vised to popularize intricate dane
ing.
The production number which
closes the show and involves most
of the cast, together with the
Rhythms Rockets, is 14-minute
affair laid in a toy shop back
ground. A very handsome thing 1t
is, with Miss Hoctor adding to its
grace.
The comedy portion of the bill is
handled by that knockabout team
of Sid Tomack and the Refs Broth
ers. the vocal by Lynn Allison, who
does it very handsomely.

melodrama in the latter portion.
Metro GoldWyn Mayer, which spaces
the Tarzan pictures with such
admirable wisdom, has used the
interval since the last one to think
up lot of fine ways of photograph
ing Burroughs unrestrained fancies.
The studio has been smart, too,
in its casting of the latest episode
in the series. In addition to the
principals, Johnny Weissmuller and
Maureen O'Sullivan, it was inspired
to cast Barry Fitzgerald in comedy
role which is one of the best fea-
tures Of "Tarzan's Secret Treasure"

as much as the movies need him.
does not have opportunity to prove
that he is, as has been said, the
funniest man in the English Ian
guage. He comes fairly close to it,
however with the material at his
disposal.
The destiny which keeps Tarzan
going at such terrific pace in the
supposed tranquility of his forest
fastneSs has decided this time that
he shall be the proprietor of a
mountain of gold. Owning anything
as valuable as that bothers him not
at all during the early passages of
the picture. He. his wife and their
son are living in sweet serenity and
remaining amused by the antics of
their pet simian, Cheetah. until life
is disrupted by a group of scientific
explorers which Tarzan rescued
from disaster.
You would think that dignified
