state constitution forbids any graduated income tax
 Had it become necessary, the jurst continued, he would have probably ruled against the ordinance basic infringement of mans rights lkening it to tax upon a mans right to breathe
 Tt is my personal opinion" Judge Agnew said in his decision, that this tax requiring a man to buy license to work would be enforceable only in police state"
 Judge Agnew has earned the gratitude of wage earners and taxpayers everywhere. Tn day of Big Government" the taxpayer, far too many abuses of power perpetrated upon poorly represented public by the social planners. Although the action concerned only city ordinance, the legal and moral principles redefned by the judge of vital import to every citizen of the United States and its Terri tories and possessions

DO PEOPLE READ THE BIBLE?

An inquisitive man. in another State, recently wondered how many ordinary people" read the Bible nowadays and he made something of investigation among variety of types
 While he found some exceptions, he discovered that many of the people he interviewed had mot seen Bible for fifteen years
 This is an astounding report, concerning the wonderful compilation of books, which call the Bible and which, it is generally believed has affected the destiny of mankind more than any other literature ever produced
 Whether the observation applies to Juneau or not, we do not know but sincerely hope that the people of this city have not become blase to pass up the opportunity enjoying the great spiritual truths that the Bible presents to men.
 Too many persons, presume, approach the Bible as solution of their material troubles and the remedy for their physical ills. They seek to discover the answer to mundane issues and overlook the values that abound in the development of indi- vidual personality.
 Certainly, we would not attempt to interpret the Bible for other people but make no apology for suggesting that presents mankind with philosophy that will endure through the ages Its lessons, even understood in part, immortal and the man or woman who imbbes the great teachings will serve the present world and, conclude, develop a spiritual force that will not die.

WHAT KING OVERLOOKED

The reeord-which Congressman King overlooked-shows that he im- mediately went to bat for Gregory After a drawn -out, four-year legal hattie, the Congressman from Cal- ifornia brought pressure on the Justice Department to compromise. Gregory, himself, admitted under oath that the compromise should include caneeling all government charges against him, both civil and criminal. This, of course, would have ended the tax case against him.
 Kings part in the compromise is revealed in a confidential memo to Attorney General McGrath from Assistant Attorney General H. G. Morrison. Dated May 5, 1850, the memo reports: MT. Clapp and MT. MacGuineas (of the Justice De- partment) appeared before Cong- ressman Dawson, chairman of the House Committee on Executive Ex- penditureS, at his request on May 4. Congressman King and Holifield of California were also present Congressman King stated that he had an offer of compromise Gin the Gregory litigationD which he had heen trying to bring to you for several days but had been unable to see you. He suggested that MT. Clapp take the offer and transmit it to you"
 In other words, Congressman King used a Congressional commit tee to bring pressure on the Justice Department on behalf of his friend Gregory.
 This is the kind of influence which he criticized on the part of ohters, but which he covered up when done by himself. And being Congressman with ths power to place matters before a Congress- ional committee, his degree of in- fluence was much greater than that of the average citizen.

WORK TAX HELD VOID

We applaud the recent decision of Superior Court Judge Henry Clay Agnew of Seattle, who, sitting at Bellingham Washington, held that the Bellingham work tax was unconstitutional
 The tax grab, said to be the first attempt in the United States tax persons right to work provided that all wage earners pay annual fee of Sl0o for the privilege of working in Bellingham plus so- called license tax of one tenth of one per cent or their wages
 Judge Agnew said that the ordinance was ln violation of the Washington State constitution oe- cause it was not equally assessed against all income He asserted that the was actually an income tax rather than an excise levy He pointed out that the

WHITEWAsHING THE KING

Congressman Cecil Kings com- mittce Investigating income tax in- fluence is doing an Al job-except when it comes to Investigating it's own chairman.
 No one really expected the com mittee's crack investigators to find their own boss guilty of influencing tax cases. However, if they had dug into Kings activities half as relentlessly as they have rooted out other tax scandals, they would have come up with some eye-open- CTS.
 King is one of the ahlest members of Congress, but believing his own case deserves the same close Scrut- iny as the cases he is Investigating, this column has continued where his investigators left off
 The committee held three days of whirlwind hearings, all safely behind closed doors, then issued a public statement whitewashing King. No evidence had been found, the statement assured, that King had intervened in a tax investigation of Thomas A. Gregory, his old friend in Long Beach, Calf. ....
 However, this column has un- earthed some documents, which the King committee conveniently over looked These documents not only indicate that King brought pressure on the Justice Department in Gre gory's behalf. but also fought to keep a loophole in the tax law for the entire nation-all at Gregory's urging.
 Gregory is president of the Long Beach Savings and Loan Associa- tion, long eunder fire by the Fed eral Home Loan Bank Board and the Justice Department. The Board has made the following serious charges against Gregory:
 l. That he made fantastic loans to firms in which he was financially interested;
 2. That he used depositors' funds to get gambling concessions in Mex ico;
 3. That he diverted CT loans from

 That's why long-range COP lead- CTS doubt if a reactionary Repub- lican nominee would have the slightest chance of carrying the state next year.

 Thus the three largest states, re- presenting atout one-fifth of the voting population may well go Dem ocratic in 1852. This with the solid south and few other states would about clinch a Democratic victory
