"That is not the fault of the form. The fault lies with its administration. The same forces which have prevented the enactment of the law to conscript wealth and industry in time of war, the munitio nmakers, the international bankers and concentrated wealth, more interested in profit than patriotism, have prevented the administration of this government, on a basis contemplated by the constitution. "As a by product of their avar'ice and greed we have poverty, unemployment and lost faith and confidence. “Our government is maintained by faith and confidence. “Only when confidence is shattered can our position become insecure. Confidence and faith are not built upon profits for a few selfish individuals.

HOPE TO SPEED TAX PROPOSALS — Jump In Income Tax Receipts May Aid In Speeding Legislation Washington, Mar. 18—- (U.R) — Congressional leaders today studied a 46.4 per cent jump in March income tax revenues hopeful thaj | sufficient revenue gains were in prospect to allow them to drop new processing levies from the ' new budget-tax bill. Such action, they believed, i would aid in rushing the legislation through to enactment. House majority leader William B. Bankhead said he was convinced the president would accept action along this line if congress can write a tax bill approaching the $792,000,000 requested annual revenue yield. Meanwhile, house tax experts made a similar approach to the tax problem. They sought to safeguard the principle of the corporate surplus tax. despite revisions, so it would yield $620,000,000 annually. In addition the "windfall" 1 tax on uncollected AAA processing i , levies, it was hoped, would Aise: i $100,000,000 to $150,000,000. If processing taxes can be disI carded oue of the major hurdles iin the way of congressional adjournment will be ]>assed. If these taxes a,re written into a tentative bill open hearings probably will be stretched out for weeks. Leaders are anxious to avoid this. Tiie proposed processing tax schedule would impose levies on 33 different commodity claaaifica- , tions to raise $221,000,000 annually. Every one of these is certain Ito cause sectional opposition. I The house ways and means tax subcommittee laltorcd today to straighten out numerous knotty problems involving the corporate surplus levy. These include questions of how the tax would affect various state laws concerning required corporation reserves, howto prevent tax avoidance by forI eign stockholders and the most' equitable way to tax insurance - companies and banks.
