MOBILIZE CREW FOR COLLECTION OF NEW TAXES Financial Experts Prepare to Handle BillionDollar Levy. t nilrif Prr*i WASHINGTON. June 8 The cicantic tak of collecting more than a billion dollars in new taxes—directing a stream of riches from metropolis and hamlet Into the vaults of the United States treasury —is being understaken by a group of government financial experts with all the intensive effort of a war-time mobilization. Mast of the details of administering ;he new $1,118,500,000 revenue act were left by congress to the bureau of internal revenue. The tax collectors are now deciding just how Mr. and Mrs, America will contribute their pennies, dimes and dollars toward the imperative job of ba uncing the budget. Many of the taxes are in virgin territory. New methods of collection will be necessary. Thousands of agents and deputies mus< be instructed in their new duties. Collection forms must be devised, printed and distributed. • 1.221 in Field Force The bureau has a field force of 7 227 agents. These are the persons v no will see that the manufacturers, producers and importers are supplied with the proper forms, and. what is more important, make thenpayments promptly and accurately. The agents are awaiting instructions from Washington. When ready, the word will go down through the thousands of government employes engaged in tax work, it will be spread abroad in the lanci, and at midnight. June 20. when the new excise taxes become effective, the machinery of collection will be et in motion from Staten island to Saulsalito. On July 8 the letter that now is delivered for 2 cents will require a 3-cenf stamp. The postoffice department ordered the stamps several weeks ago and now they are bring turned out at the rate of 100.000.000 a day. Confusion on Sperial Tax There has hern much confusion regarding the special excise taxes such as those on soap, chewing gum or automobile tires. These are maanufacturers* taxes and do not relate to stocks on hand at retail- j crs. Some retailers may raise their prices on June 20. but this is no concern of the internal revenue people. The manufacturer, producer or importer must pay the specified fax on whatever he puts into the hands of distributors and dealers after the June 20 midnight deadline. The consumer will feel the burden as the tax filters down from the top. The manufacturers' taxes are to he paid on the last day of each month for the preceding month. The 31st of July is on Sunday, so the taxes for the period June 21-30 are returnable Aug. 1. Consumer to Pav The disputed electricity tax is a consumer’s tax, and will be added, to electric light hills, the power company making the return on behalf of its customers. The admissions' tax will be collectable at the box office. The banks must keep the records I clear on the check tax. The higher income taxes become payable next. March 15. when re- : turns are filed for the calendar year. 1932. The new gift tax also becomes payable next March, on gifts made ! from June 7 through the balance of the present year.

THE 12 BIG BISCUITS MEAN ECONOMY SHREDDED fflli/VHEAT A ‘Uneeda afc* product

Voices Plea for G. O. P. Courage

rsOLLOWING is the speech x of Senator Daniel O. Hastings of Delaware before the Indiana state Republican convention this morning: We are approaching another presidential campaign. It is probably true that no person here can remember a campaign in which there was such a crass-current of public opinion upon all public questions. It wiil be difficult at thus time to forecast with any degree of certainty the outcome. There probablv never has been a time when there was such an outcry, and so many complaints uttered, against those in high official positions. The people have lost confidence in public officials; but the worst of it is, they have lost confidence in themselves. They have in turn tried to find an alibi for their uncertain position and finding no other adequate excuse they have turned their criticisms against their own national representatives. I shall not at this time undertake a defense of men in high official positions. May I suggest that the representatives of finance and industry havr not taken advantage of the confidence the people of the nation heretofore have had in them, and that they have not raised their heads as leaders. jr • THEY ran not now escape their own mistakes and responsibilities bv trying to make themselves and others believe that the fault lies with congress, or with any other governmental agency. I am not asking that they share my burden as a senator. I am asking that the criticism of congress be constructive and not destructive, so that the people may maintain its confidence in this important branch of the government. During the prosperous years, the nations business leaders permitted, without complaint, the various j minority groups to compel congress to write legislation involving huge annual appropriations. No word of protest came to congress; no word of protest came to congressmen supporting such legislation and no word of commendation to those who oppased it. ana THE truth is that business leaders paid little or no attention io what congress was doing unless it happened to affect the particular industry in which they were engaged. But when prosperity disappears and the pall of the economic depression settles over the land, then these same people who have been content to let their representatives i fight their own battles and reach their own conclusions, suddenly turn upon them with a bitterness that heretofore has not been excelled in the political history of the nation. A little constructive criticism in times of prosperity would be a much greater service to the nation than drastic and unfair criticism in times of depression. Those of us interested in the Republican campaign must appreciate at the beginning that the Democrats will undertake to make the people of the country believe that the Republican administration is wholly responsible for these conditions. a a a IT wli bo necessary for us to convince the majority of the people of this country that the worldwide depression is not due to governmental action or the lack of it. It will be necessary for us to convince them that the distress in this nation is not due to any affirmative action on the part of the Republican administration, but that on the other hand the plans recommended and adopted by a Republican President have resulted in steadying the ship of state which otherwise long ago would have hit the destructive rocks in Its path. We shall answer the criticism that the Republican party lacks leadership by pointing out the constructive things that have been done. We shall admit frankly that these measures have not accomplished as much as we had hoped, nor as much as the country had been led to expect, but when the campaign has been finished and the people made to knew the truth, my judgment is hat they will reach a safe and sensible conclusion. ana WE must remember always that our present condition furnishes palatable food for the Communist and the demagog. Those accustomed to preaching these doctrines will find large audiences everywhere with minds so open that they will feed eagerly upon the complaints that are uttered. My judgment is that the socalled "forgotten man" will be the thief issue of Governor Roosevelt nr.d the Democratic parly. This has been true of the Democratic party in the past and there is everything to indicate it will be true in 1932. The Republican party will be charged with increasing the burden upon the taxpayers by the revenue bill just enacted and at the same time will be abused bitterly for every act of economy adopted that in any way affects what the Democrats will call the poor people of the nation. In other words, the Democrats will argue that the Republicans refused to appropriate money that ought to have been appropriated.

and at the same time insist that the Republican party is responsible for the increase in federal taxes. mam THERE have been all kinds of relief programs suggested in congress. I think It is admitted by conservative Democrats as well as conservative Republicans, that under our form of government public money for charitable purposes should come from the local municipal, county or state governments. It ought to be conceded by thoughtful persons everywhere that if the gates of the federal treasury should be opened once to this kind of relief that it would be almast impossible to again close them or keep them closed. The President has made a practical and sensible suggestion, namely that the Reconstruction Finance Corporation be authorized to loan the various states sufficient money to meet the emergency. It must be borne in mind that this is not done at the expense of the government. It Is purely a loan and it has back of it good security. This does not violate the principle I have suggested, but it does render ereat assistance to states which are not in a position to borrow the necessary funds in the open market. a a m I SUPPOSE the real conflict between the Republicans and the Democrats will revolve largely around the question of the tariff The Republican party, since its very beginning, has stood forth as the protector of American industry, thp American working man and the American farmer. The Republicans insist that the best way to protect both business and labor is by fixing a tariff rate so high that it would be difficult, if not impossible, for the manufacturers of the same article in other countries to undersell the American. This is a fundamental principle with the Republican party, and the principle the Republicans believe that has enabled the country to prosper and to grow' as rapidly as it has growm. There is a certain class of people in this country, however, who do not have the same high regard for the Republican tariff rates they once had.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Many of our large industrial conj cerns. for instance, have built new | factories in various parts of Europe ! in order that they might avoid paying the high wages that America demands for its wage-earner. m m m HAVING taken their money and their modern machinery to Europe and having adopted the European wage scale, we find them at this time perfectly willing to adopt the lowest tariff the Democratic party will sponsor. And this is not the only class of persons opposed to the high Republican tariff at this time. There are a great many of the international bankers who have distributed all over this country bonds issued by the foreign governments, the interest on which now is in default, and the probabilities are that the principal never will be paid. If the doors of America could be thrown wide open by the removal of the protective tariff so that the European countries could flood this country with things made by cheap labor, they would then be in a better position to pay the interest as well as the principal upon their bonds. But the people who are interested in these bonds are sipall in number compared with the millions j being benefited by the high Re-; publican protective tariff. The Republican party must bear in mind always the interest of the many and not direct its efforts in favor of the interest of the few. It must be clear to every person that if America is to be protected ; by adequate tariff duties that job j can not be left safely to the Dem- j ocrat.s. They are so inconsistent ’ in their whoie attitude to the sub- j ject. that in order to have anything done with any degree of satisfaction, the people of this country must depend upon the Republican party, which has followed a certain principle in regard to this matter for more than half a century. ana THE Democratic party will go forth again, undertaking to demonstrate that it is the only p>arty that can be depended upon to protect the masses of the people. This has been the burden of their song for many generations. Back of it. there neither is hope nor expectation of being able to ac-

complish what they so loudly proclaim. The Republicans, on the other hand, believe in holding fast to the principles that have made us a great nation. They realize that of all times this Is the time for courage and careful consideration of all proposals made. I think it may be said that no President in times of peace has had so many distressing things to confront him as had that great Republican who now occupies the White House. He realizes that there are people in the country who blame him for the depression and all of the ills that confront us. He must realize at the same time, however, that sensible people everywhere give him great credit for the constructive things he has done in the last three years. m m m THERE are those in the ReI publican party who believe that President Hoover will not be a popular candidate in 1932. I for one do not agree with them. I know it is true, that we shall be able to bring home to the people before election day in November, the real truth and the real greatness of this individual. I would not feel that I had done my duty upon this occasion if I did not mention one other very important thing which is close to the hearts of everv Republican senator in congress. I refer to the importance of returning to the senate from Indiana that great statesman who has served you and the country for so many years with a faithfulness that has not been excelled in the history of the nation. I refer to your own beloved son, the honorable James E. Watson. It might be conceded that, like most of us. he Is by no means perfect, but one thing can be said of him by his enemies as well as his friends and that is that he is a real Republican and a true patriotic American. This is as high a tribute as can be paid any man.

FEAR STAMPEDE FOR REPEAL AT G. 0. EPARLEV Republican Leaders View Rockefeller’s Stand as Spur to Wets. By Srripp-Hoira rrf A>i rtpaprr AUinnrr WASHINGTON June B—Republican leaders today faced a possibility that the Chicago convention next week will stampede for a straightout prohibition repeal resolution instead of peaceably accepting the resubmission plan agreed upon at conferences here the last few days. Their fear of a repeal plank is based partly on the widespread favorable reaction to John D. Rockefeller Jr.’s statement that prohibition had failed and also on reports that wet organizations are preparing a monster demonstration on the eve of the convention protesting against pussy-footing. Republican senators who sat in the conversations which resulted in the resubmission plan are cautioning officials who will be present to guard against the convention getting out of hand. This will be discussed at the meeting of the national committee in Chicago Thursday, when final plans will be made for the convention. The meeting will be attended by Senator Fess of Ohio, chairman, who is against any sort of antiprohibition declaration: James Francis Burke, general counsel and parliamentarian who conferred Tuesday with President Hoover, and James R. Garfield, praspective resolutions committee chairman. According to Republican senators, their resubmission plan in the final analysis is no different from the propased repeal suggestions. But they fear the word "repeal" as having a sinister political meaning.

W. G. T. U, HITS JOHN D. STAND Repeal Would Be Murder, Declare Dry Leaders. By I’nited Prrn t EVANSTON, 111., June B.—National W. C. T. U. headquarters today issued a vigorous answer to a pronouncement by John D. Rockefeller Jr., favoring repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Copies of the statement were forwarded to W. C. T. U. leaders in all states. [ "Present problems ran not be solved by restoring the liquor traffic to a legal status.” the statement said. "Nor can they be solved by allowing prohibition enforcement to remain in its present status. ■We require clean government., with better men in office; aroused civic consciousness, enforcement of the law, and serious and effective educational campaigns. "To repeal the eighteenth amendment would be murderous, m that, it would restore the old high death rate from alcoholic causes; j "It would not only be an unAmerican surrender to low ideals, .but would be national stupiditv."
