{Continued from Page 1)
number of obscure parts of the
law have been referred to the
attorney general’s office for
ruling. . These include a rul-
ing that filling station selling
accessories are subject to the
tax.
. —UP—
- The right of Judge Harry N.
Graves of Georgetown to sit on
the bench of the State Court of
Criminal Appeals may go to
the voters for decision if con-
tentions of Graves’ friends are
■ correct.
They say that the right of a
judge to sit cannot be attacked
colaterally. The test must be
made by the state through the
attorney general and not by a
party to a suit in which he has
.acted, they say.
When Graves was appoint-
ed, Attorney General William
McCraw’s department made no
objection. In fact, members of
.the staff doubted that there
was any authority for the at-
torney general to aet. The
validity of Graves’s appoint-
: inent now is before the court
on a defendant’s motion for
rehearing to be argued Feb.
16. If the court holds ihat the
attack cannot be made this
way, the test likely will be
transferred to federal courts
under a claim that due process
■of law has pot been afforded.
Graves’ eligibility under
Gov. James V. Allred’s ap-
pointment is attacked because
he was a member of the legis-
lature when the pay of the of-
fice was increased. Regard-
less of the court decision,
Graves will have to run for the
office next summer If he de-
sires to retain it. The question
may thus become moot so far
as he is concerned, before it
ever is finally ruled upon.
THIS WEEK IN
WASHINGTON
(Continued from Page 1)
guarantee provisions of the
Aet, lies in the fact that “pre-
vailing rate of wages” has
been interpreted by many
courts to mean "highest union
seaie.” Since the high A. F.
of I., wages scales in the build-
ing trades are regarded as one
of the chief obstacles to revival
of the building industry, the
belief in Congress amounted to
a conviction that to insist upon
them in the the new law would
make it impossible for the pur-
pose of the law to be achieved.
That purpose is to build new
homes, put more craftsmen to
work in the building industries.
But while the Labor Lobby
met defeat for the first time in
an important engagement, the
most powerful of ail the Con-
gressional Lobbies — Labor
having ranked as second—won
its first skirmish in its newest
attack upon the Treasury. This
is the Veterans’ Lobby. The
combination of war veterans
has been more than a match
for several Presidents. It de-
feated Mr. Roosevelt on the
bonus when he was at the
height of his political power
and personal prestige. The
Veterans’ Lobby is behind a
powerful drive to provide pen-
sions for widows and orphans
o f World War veterans,
whether they saw service in
the Seid or not. Washington
observers of pension history-
are unanimous in the belief
that the Vetarans’ Lobby will
win this campaign, as it and its
predecessors have won every
previous pension drive.
Pension Parade Marches On
At the beginning of the
World War, the statesmen in
Washington, having in mind
the scandals of the old pension
system under the lobbying tac-
tics of the Grand Army of the
Republic, which had grown to
such strength that it was for
nearly half a century the most
powerful political force in the
nation, established the War
Risk Insurance System, the
purpose of which was to pro-
vide adequately for disabled
service men and the depend-
ents of those dying in the war.
Like the “war to end war”
dream, this "insurance to end
pensions” did not work as
planned.
At the 'first organizing con-
vention of the American Le-
gion, Col. Theodore Roosevelt
led the movement to put the
Legion on record as unalter-
ably opposed to pensions. The
determination not to make the
Legion another G. A. R. was
shortlived, however. History is
repeating itself in the new pen-
sion drive, and the first skirm-
ish was won when the House
Pensions Committee acted fa-
vorably on the bill for pensions
to all widows and orphans of
World .War veterans. Under
the proposed law it is quite
possible that Uncle Sam wiil
be paying World War pensions
for a hundred years to come.
Let a veteran who was 18 when
he went into the service in
IS18, live to be 90, which
many of them are likely to
achieve, and then in his dotage
marrying a calculating girl of
18, who might well herself live
to be 80, and would so be
drawing a pension, as the
widow of a World War veter-
an, clear down to the year
2070.
Such things have happened
:n past pension history.
To the argument that the
enactment of this new pension
law will immediately upset the
budget, and that the ultimate
cost is incalculable, the Veter-
ans’ Lobby retorts that Feder-
al spending will have to begin
again soon, anyway, and it
might as well begin with the
widows and orphans.
Congress Listens to
Little Business
Although newspapers gave
considerable front page prom-
ine .e to the session of Little
Businessmen, the majority of
editorial comment evinced
doubts as to whether the re-
sulting 23-point program for
solving the slump would have
much lasting effect on Admin-
istration policies. Many looked
upon the meeting as merely
another chance for harrassed
citizens to “blow-off steam.”
However, a strange repercus-
sion is being felt here in
Washington.
