NEW YORK, Aug. This
used to be the start of the moan

For Speedier Justice

The Virginia Advisory Legislative
Council has given proper recognition to
the urgency Of keeping Northern Vir-
ginia's judicial machinery geared to the
needs of the areas steady population
growth. The council, after a survey Of
court conditions In the Arlington and the
Alexandria -Fairfax-P Prince william cir
cults, has recommended creation Of an
additional judgeship for each circuit.
The council found that the rising volume
of criminal and civil cases In the northern
circuits is delaying justice and over
burdening the four judges presiding there.
The finding is not news to the judges,
the attorneys and the 1itigants who must
contend with current congestion.
In an effort to relieve the situation,
the Arlington judges have instituted pre-
trial procedures similar to those in use
In the District Court here. In addition,
longer hours are being spent on the
bench in many cases. Delays in criminal
trials have been reduced, but long delays
continue to plague lawyers and litigants
in civil cases. The next General Assembly
should heed the advice Of the council
and grant the Northern Virginia circuits
the relief necessary to assure prompt and
effective justice.

The Bishops Statement

There will not be any serious dis
sent from that portion Of the recent
statement by the Catholic bishops which
asserts the right to maintain parochial
schools and which argues that these
schools are serving useful and construc-
tive purpose. The dissent win center on
the question of the extent to which these
schools should share in Subsidies" or
"fringe Dement'S from tax funds.
On this point the bishops statement
was something less than explicit. Take
this key sentence, for instance: "The
students OF these (church-related) schools
have the right to benefit from those meas
ures, grants, or aids, which are mani
festly designed for the health, safety and
welfare of American youth, irrespective
Of the school attended"
What, exactly, does this mean? The
courts have already sanctioned and q
number Of States have authorized bus
transportation and nonreligious text
books for children In church-related
schools. But the bishops presumably are
thinking Of something more than this.
Nothing is to be gained, however, by
guesswork In the absence Of some
authoritative Interpretation or explana-
tion of the statement, the best course is
to await specific proposals and to pass
Judgment on them as they are put
forward. =,

Outn,oded Road Setup?

MARYLAND would be following the
system used In most other States II u
adopted the Green commissions recon-
mendations for drastic reorganization
of the State Roads Commission. The COM
mission method OF administering State
highways has been found wanting IN
many jurisdictions as the task Of building
more and better roads has grown IN
recent decades. The bipartisan group
headed by Harry j. Green, Baltimore
attorney, believes it is time that Maryland
modernized its highway setup.
Actually, the proposal for new De-
partment Of State Roads, under single
administrator, to replace the present
tfifee- man commission. is not a new one.
The Roads Commission In 1852 received
report from the Public Administration
Service, OF Chicago, suggesting such q
reform. The report was pigeonhoied until
q legislative inquiry dug it out. Demands
for q reorganization have been made
sporadically in recent years, usually with
political overtones. Pressure on Gov
ernor McKeldin increased as a result Of
alleged scandals In the right-of-way pur--
chase program, especially In connection
with the Route 240 project. Appointment
Of the Green commission to undertake a
study and make recommendations was,tle
Governors answer.
The commission, In effect, found that
the State Roads Commissions Job has
become too big for it. Lines Of authority
have become confused" administrative
procedures have proved to be outmoded
and overall direction has become "dif-
fused" among the three members Of the
agency, 1t was declared. Waste and In
efflciency are inevitable under such q
setup. To remedy the situation, 1t was
proposed that administrative and engi-
neering functions be separated in a new
department, to be headed by single
executive director. Virginia and many
cthak states have orgsMzations Of this

Gross Earnings Tax

The Citizens Advisory Council has
included In its recommended tax program
q levy on gross earnings, applying to all
who are employed in the District Of
Columbia regardless of place Of residence.
This tax has been opposed In the past by
representatives of the adjacent counties
In Maryland and Virginia. It doubtless
will be opposed again. But in view of the
serious financial situation faced by the
District, and the sharply limited tax re-
sources that may be tapped in this city
Of wholesale tax exemptions, the Advisory
Council was justified in renewing the pro-
posal and the Commissioners would be
well advised to accept the advice.
For as far as the principle Of such
tax is concerned, it is no more unreas-
enable or Objectionable than many other
taxes. A growing list of cities, notably
Philadelphia, has found 1t fair and
productive source Of revenue. One Of
Washington's continuing problems is that
while 1t is the hub of an expanding Metro
politan Area, unlike other cities it is un-
able to extend its boundaries and enlarge
its tax base. As Council Chairman VIII
liam E. Leahy pointed out there should
be some way of insuring that those who
work in Washington and enjoy its facili-
ties share in contributing to the expenses
Of the city from which they earn liveli-
hood.
There are two apparent inequities in
the form of the tax proposed by the couIl-
ell, however, and these must receive fur
ther study. Under the proposal, the Dis
trict taxpayer will have his income tax
withheld at the source. and the earnings
tax also deducted from his pay. That is
a very heavy bite on the taxpayers take-
home pay, and substantial tax-collect-
ing burden on their employers. While the
local taxpayer would receive, In the Dis
trict, a credit for income tax paid, to be
applied against his earnings tax, no such
credit would apply against the income
taxes paid in Maryland and Virginia, or
other States, by these out-of-town wage
earners in Washington. Virginia and
Maryland conceivably could extend such
credits to their residents, but that Is
hardly likely. Nor is 1t likely that the
Federal Government, our largest single
employer, win deduct local taxes In pay
ing Federal salaries.
Perhaps the chief virtue OF the pro-
posed gross earnings tax Is that 1t Illus
trates the extraordinary plight Of those
responsible for finding the revenue to ball
ance the increasing cost Of running this
expensive city. The time Is coming when
serious consideration must be given to
some area-wide tax authority, If inequi-
ties between the jurisdictions are to be
prevented. 1t is absolutely essential, in
the meantime, that the Federal Govern
ment must meet its own substantial share
Of financial responsibility by increasing
the Federal payment.
