‘DOUBLE TAX' PROBLEM WILL BE CONSIDERED Congress Committee Likely , to Have Report Ready for Session. By Prripps-Hotcard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON. Oct 28. Two days alter election, members of the house ways and means committee will be summoned here to consider how the taxpayers’ last few dollars may be spread among the federal and state governments in a way to make them meet all needs. The joint committee on Internal revenue taxation is at work on a study of existing conflicts between the tax systems of local, state and national government, and expects to have Its report ready by that time. A subcommittee on double taxation of the ways and means committee then will start hearings on the subject, which probably will last through the winter session of congress. The preliminary report will list all taxes imposed by both state and local governments, and discuss the inequality of the tax burden in different states and present the per capita tax in each. Conflict in Sources It will summarize the experiments of other nations, as well as suggestions being received by state authorities and tax experts in all parts of this country. The final report, to be written after hearings are completed, will suggest how governments may divide the objects of taxation without burdening any too heavily, and as most of the state legislatures will be in session this winter, legislative action to carry out its recommendations is possible. The study has been undertaken because of increasing emphasis that property is carrying too heavy a share of the support of government, and because state income and excise taxes, imposed to relieve property, are impairing sources upon which the federal government has relief for revenue. Most Revenue from Property Twenty-one states and the territory of Hawaii now have enacted income tax legislation, and three other states are considering it. Eleven states tax tobacco and cigarets, another source of federal income. In addition to the federal tax on lubricating oils, nine states levy a severance tax on oil products. Three states have electric and gas utility company taxes, and three tax amusements. Local governments, municipal, and district, spend more than half of the taxes collected in this country every year, and practically all their revenues come from property. States have been unable increasingly to collect taxes from property also, as a result. Kentuckian Heads Committee In addition to the taxes already listed, they have been relying on gasoline taxes, chain store taxes, severance taxes on removal of natural resources, and sales taxes. In the last session of congress, the federal government considered a sales tax and also a gasoline tax, and both proposals may be revised this winter. The committee on double taxation is headed by Representative Fred H- Vinson (Ky.), who will preside over the coming hearings.

Dust in Palace Worries Wife of Prime Minister

Homely Duties Are Part of Troubles, Countess Says in Lecture Here. Wife of the prime minister of Hungary must not only think where she will seat the diplomats at dinner, but also keep her eye on the dust in the palace. That was the picture the Countess Margit Bethlen, wife of the former premier of Hungary, painted in the opening lecture of the Town Hall series jit English's today. “Then there was the ‘dust to watch, and it took us seven years to get a vacuum cleaner, because the budget would not allow it,” she said. The countess went into detail of her financial problems as the wife of the prime minister. She was forced to and sell stocks, write newspaper articles, and even plays. She was greeted with laughs when she said that sometimes it was difficult to get pretty women at her parties. “Trees grow more beautiful as they grow old, not so with women,” she said, “and men like to have pretty faces about.” The countess told of the many changes in the social structure of Hungary since the World war. Her greatest fear is the assassination of her husband. An attempt was made only a few days ago, while she was in this country. Next Friday morning, Vicki Baum, playwright and novelist, -Will talk.

Our 26th president was born in New York City, October 27, 1858. He became New York Police Commissioner and then Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Commander of the famous “Rough Riders” during the Spanish-American War, he became Governor of New York in ’9B, Vice-President under McKinley and President upon the latter’s assassination in 1901.
