Befoue the present session .of the state legislature is what is fcnown as the ."ten juror bill" a measure which would "allow .conviction or acquittal of defendant upon the vote of ten out of 2 jurors hearing: the case. At the present time the timidity or stubbomess of one can thwart and "hang up" th.e sane judgment of eleven others. For years past, district attorneys of this state have urged the passage' of such a measure. Prominent attorneys of )wovn fairness and integrity have advocated the change. Recognized students of law reform present the 10 juror plan as one of the strongest vehicles for straightening out pres ent miawiriagos of justice. yet thp committee of the senate on revision of laws, now sitting .at Salem, has returned the 10 juror measure with an unfavorable report. Such definite turn down in the face of recognized public demand for a new fairness and justice from our laws, is difficult to understand. INHERITANCE TAX? One of the unpleasant jobs Uncle Sam will have to take on in the near future is the task of finding new ways .to get money. Nobody Jikes the tidea of higher taxes. Nobody denies that a mounting tax rate is bad for business. Jo .body, rich or poor, gets any. particular kick .out of paving ,hjs Aay.es. ' ? But nobody, on the other hand, can look at the vast sums that are being spent these days without realizing that some .new sources of revenue will be Accessary in .the not .distant future. .( Never before, save in war time, has the government spent at its present rate. This money can't be plucked out" of thin air. All of which brings us up to the latest declaration of Sen ator George W. Norris of Nebraska, who urges a heavy stif fening of the inheritance tax by the next Congress. pen la an Idea which cuts two wny. Not only would It provide the government with badly needed money; It could be made Into a weapon to promote .that more equitable distribution of wealth whlcb seems to be one of ,the goals of the era now beginning. Every man who manages to lay aside a little surplus has the right to seek to provide well for his chllnrcn. That should be possible, under even the stillest son ot lnnerUance Km v. But the Idea of preserving a vast fortune Intact through generation after generation, and preserving with It the great power that goes with extreme wealth, handing wealth and power dawn to .those sho have done noting to earn them that Is some thing else sgaln. and we properly can keep It In mind in framing our law There need not be any "soak the rich" tinge to such a step. Uncle Sam power down to those who have done nothing to earn them that is some thing about the congealing of great wealth In the hands of a fortunately born few. Both goals can be reached through sane revision of the lnherlt , ance .tax.
