NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. {(EXTRA TAXES FOR STATEHOOD How to pay for Statehood? Here is one Territorial official’s suggestion. First of all, raise the Territorial 10 per cent of the Federal Income Tax to 50 per cent of the Federal Tax. That much money, by the Federal Government. After that, other taxes, possibly tax, will have to be found to me he figures would help pay the costs of the courts, jails, etc., that are now being borne Senate in a Hurry (St. Louis Star-Times) It was George Washington, reportedly, who said [ the Senate of the United States was to be c¢he saucer | in which the hot coffee from the cup of the House would cool. Calm, studied consideration of all mat- ters of legislation — that was to be the keynote of the Senate. So what has happened? On Wednesday the Sen- ate in four hours and 45 minutes passed 212 bills. That works out to about one bill every 90 seconds, which is hardly time for any great deliberation. They weren't all trifling little bills either; one, for instance, was the important measure barring interstate ship- ment of slot machines. There might even be some colossal legislative blunders among them for the sen- | ators often obviously didn’t know what they were voting on. This sort of pell-mell rush to get through bills oceurs consistently, of course, in every legislative body as adjournment approaches. But it needn’t. A little less fussing with trivial detail when a session begins; |a little more careful planning of legislative. work; a little more faithful attention at sessions to prevent | log jams — these things would all help. an increased gas| It would be a good thing for the Senate to get et the additional ' back to being a saucer. Income Tax from The Washinglon Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) mitted that Senator Brewster ,had phoned Morris Fay, U. S. attorney for the District of Columbia, and asked to use Lieut. Joe Shimon of the metropolitan police force, then attached to the district attorney’s office. Fay refused to have any- thing to do with the matter, whereupon Brewster called Maj. Robgrt Barrett, head of the metro- politan police, and secured the use of Shimon. Lieut. Shimon is the expert wire- tapper who also figured in some caveédmppmz on the Argentine ambassador. In this ¢ Shimon was acting for Nathaniel LuttreX, scion of a wealthy Washington, D. . family, who had, rggson o suspect his wife, the former Nina Lunn, granddaughter of ex-Senator White of Maine. Lieut. Shimon discovered the lady and ambassador Remorino of Ar- gentina, both unclad, in the vacant apartment of a friend, following which Mr. Luttrell secured a div- orce. The fact that a Washington pol- ice {lieutenant was used as a pri- vatd detective on a foreign am- bassador was one thing that helped inspire the report on Gestapo methods in the nation’s capital. Actually, the Justice Department's record on wire-tapping is good. J. Edgar Hoover leans over back- ward against such methods, uses themonly in espionage, kidnapping and other serious cases. Telephone tapping is indiscriminately prac- ticell, however, by the armed forces, central intelligence, and apparently by Brewster and Ferguson. Incidentally, Howard made monkeys of both Brewster snd_ Ferguson, especially after 1t became known that Brewster had been pulling wires for Pan Amef- icag Airways and favored a merger between Pan American and Hughes’ TWA—which Hughes had rebuffed.

But thirty minutes later, the Chief Justice, dropping in at the home of Washington Post publisher Eugene Meyer, was surprised to see the sa senator who had gone hompe to “take care of his health’ His health appeared ok. and he seemed to be enjoying himself thoroughly—until the Chief Justice arrived. see A story of Democracy by popular Gov.
