Bio Job Well Done

AS registrations roll in and time
grows short it is more than ever apparent
that the District Board of Elections has
done-and is still doing-a remarkably
effective job as official planner and super
visor of the May l local primary. Chair

board members and staff are truly
modern-day pioneers in the business Of
conducting legal election in Washing

to guide them in their task, they have
succeeded, with community help, In reg

DisiIIusioned Tax Man

1t is a bit startling to pick up the
paper and read that T. Coleman Andrews,
former Commissioner Of Internal Reve-
nue., wants to abolish the Federal income
tax.
At first blush, and especially with the
black week end Of April Is coming up, this
seems like a wonderful idea. For the
Federal income tax has grown into a
Frankenstein monster since those inno-
cent days In 1918 when the tax bill was
passed, with generous exemptions and
tax rate Of a mere per cent on the
first $4,000 of income.
Mr. Andrews thinks that America to-
day is in the death grip of taxation and
that the middle class is in danger of being
destroyed by high taxes. But if the in
come tax should be abolished, how would
the Government get its revenue? Mr..
Andrews agrees that revenue must be
Forthcoming, but he thinks Congress
should work out a less painful system Of

Zoo Tragedy

The Zoo lost one of its rare
animals by accident so years
ago. On April 10. 1906, The
Star reported: "One of the
rarest animals in the National
Geological Park, an Abyssinian
zebra, was accidentally killed
yesterday afternoon while try
ing to extricate its foot and
neck from the wire fencing in
front of the antelope house.
An examination Of the remains
Of the animal was made this
afternoon and the result
showed that the zebra had
broken its neck in its struggles
to free itself from the entangle-
ment. Dr. Frank Baker, super
intendent Of the Zoo. and the
other officials there, are par
ticularly sorry over the loss Of
this valuable animal, because
it was the gift to the Govern
ment OF Ras Makonnen, the
ruler Of the province Of Harrar.

Intent of Congress

Representative Howard Smith of Vir-
ginia has said he never dreamed" that
his Smith Act of 1910, aimed at the Com
muniSt conspiracy against the United
States, would be construed as setting
aside State Sedition laws. And it is
good bet that most if not all of the men,
bers of Congress shared that view at the
time. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court
has ruled in the Steve Nelson case that
Congress did intend to SuperSede the
State laws when it passed the statute
named for the Virginia legislator.
Representative Smith is now pushing
another bill to check what he regards as
a tendency on the part of the court to
expand the Federal authority at the ex-
penSe of the States through misinterpre-
tation Of congressional intent. First in
troduced in 1854, this bill would serve
notice on the court that it is not the
intent of Congress to invalidate State
laws unless such intention is expressly
stated in Federal legislation
The project may not get very far at
this session. although it has an impressive
list of supporters, especially in the Senate.
But neither is it likely to die an early
death. For there is mounting concern
on the part of State officials and among
some members of Congress over what
they regard as the steady erosion of rights
and powers thought to have been reserved
to the States by the Tenth Amendment.
If the prevailing trend continues, their
ranks will surely be strengthened and
more will be heard from Mr. Smiths 1854

Sunday Sales

For many hundreds Of years,
Sunday has been considered a
sacred day, day devoted not
