Habson’s Point of View On:
Smith On Court
Conservative Democrat Howard
Smith, veteran Congressman from Vir
ginia defeated after thirty-six years in
the House, recently gave his views on
dangers which today threaten the U. S.
fohn of government.
Whether or not one agrees with the
fottner judge’s philosophy, one of his
warnings merits particular considera
tion because it refers to the roles of the
branches of our government. Smith
believes the present Supreme Court is
legislating, and often through split, 5-4
decisions.
He • traces the beginning of this
trend to the Roosevelt era when FDR
tried unsuccesfully to pack the court,
then appointed Justices wholshared his
political views.
The high court recently reversed
every constitutional precedent that had
been established since the formation
of the union in setting up a one-man
one-vote system for state senates.
Despite these precedents, and the
fact that the U. S. Senate ap establish
ed in the Constitution was* an upper
house and not based on one-man, one-
Higher Taxes
Babson Park, Mass., February 2. The
great debate is In full swing in Washington.
President Johnson has asked* for a hike in
corporate and individual income taxes. He
calls the proposed increase a 6% “sur
charge.” This will be levied on the tax it
self, figured at prevailing rates — and will
be added at the end of the form. Hence, as
the President intends^ the new tax can be
easily removed as soon as the emergency in
Vietnam is over.
Battle Lines Drawn
A storm of charges and counter charges
has been stirred up by Mr. Johnson’s rec
ommendation. Criticism is. not aimed at the
kind of tax. First, the amount — around $5
billion — is not very heavy in relation to a
nearly $800-billion economy . . . nor con
trasted with a budget close to $135 billion.
Second, the low-income citizen can hardly
get excited; for it is intended that a family
with two children have $5,000 taxable in
come exempted.
The big battle is between economists
and would-be economists. One camp holds
that the private area of ouf economy is al
ready in a recession (they say this is ob
scured by the tremendous surge in arms
production). In the opposite corner are the
anti-inilation forces (they maintain that the
federal budget is already out of whack and
any further bulge in the deficit will start in
flationary fires raging again).
Enter Politics
As you may guess, such a brawl among
the intellectuals is a made-to-order oppor
tunity for our politicians in the Capital. And
they have jumped in with both feet. Repub
licans and some conservative Democrats
are demanding that no tax change be con
sidered until the President’s spending pro
posals have been gone over with a fine-tooth
comb. Their cry: Cut spending to balance
the budget!
Across the aisle, however, the banners

Apple of Discord
An apple of discord, meaning a cause of
dispute, is an allusion to Greek mythology.
*
Eris, the goddess of discord, became angry
because she was not invited to a wedding. In
spite, she threw a golden apple among the wed
ding guests. On the apple was written, “To the
fairest.”
Three goddesses — Hera, Pallas and Aphro
dite — claimed the apple. Paris, son of the king
of Troy, was asked to settle the dispute. He
awarded the apple to Aphrodite. This infuri
ated the other two goddesses, and led to the
downfall of Troy.

DeGaulle’s Latest
President Charles DeGaulle of
France has irritated Washington again
with his blunt language in opposition to
our policy in Vietnam. DeGaulle said
pointedly that the United States cannot
win a military victory in that country.
While the General’s pride is known
to be exceptional, especially since
Francg^fcould not win a military victory
in Vietnam, the General’s assertion—
like so many of his statements in the
past — might prove to contain some
truth. -►
A good look at the map of Vietnam,
and the huge country to be pacified,
and consideration of the effort which
would be required if and when more
aid is extended North Vietnam, per
haps from Red China, certainly raises
grave doubts—if not whether we can
win whether we want to make the tre
mendous effort which might be requir
ed to win.
