BORAH ADVISES CAPITALISTS TO CHANCE POLICY

Says Nation Must Destroy ‘Thuggery’ in Article for Magazine. By U ntded Prr k , WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.—Senator William E. Borah, potential Republican presidential nominee, warned today that earnings must be redistributed to avoid a fight for existence of American capitalism against state socialism or communism. He said the nation must destroy "business thuggery.” Borah expressed these opinions in an article prepared for publication in Collier's. He declared the farm problem should be met by a redistribution of wealth that will create an American market for agriculture. He lashed at "capitalistic monopoly” ana described the Townsend old-age pension as "the most extraordinary social and political movement In recent years.” "If capitalism is going to insist upon a code of conduct free from all principles of fair and honest dealing and if it is going to insist that the creed of the, underworld. where cunning and deceit and ruthlessness and finally extermination are, recognized as the law of life, we must be prepared to meet the question of state socialism or even communism.” he declared. Mr. Borah predicted that eventually private interests would not be permitted to fix prices “directly or indirectly” and that if price fixing were necessary it would be by public authority. The Agricultural Adjustment Act was not a permanent solution of the tragedy of the American farmer, he said. Adding that farmers are opposed to "regimentation.” Quote* Woodrow Wilson He quoted Woodrow Wilson against monopoly, particularly the assertion that "any decently equipped lawyer” can suggest statutes to stop it. Taxation, Senator Borah said, can not achieve proper redistribution of wealth although the Townsend plan might be entitled “Townsends plan for the redistribution of purchasing power." deriving its strength from resentment felt byman,y persons. "I venture to prophesy that the people will indefinitely not permit private interests to fix prices either directly or indirectly. If they are to be fixed they will be fixed by public authority,” he asserted. "If capitalism has nothing to say in the way of a more equitable distribution of the earnings of capitalism, if it is going to insist that widespread poverty in the midst of incalculable wealth, that denial of comforts and conveniences of the modern world for the majority of people are natural and inevitable, then capitalism must be prepared to fight for its very existence. Result of Practice* "But monopoly does not exist as a result, of natural growth. It. is a result of practices which between man and man no one would defend; practices definable in the law and punishable, by law and enforced at little cost when compared to the cost and exertion put forth in an effort to counteract the effect of monopoly." Borah asserted that the smashing of monopoly to achieve equitable distribution of wealth would uncover a farm market and constitute the “primary step toward permanent farm recovery—the restoration and maintenance of fair prices for farm products.” "The market which we must have is not in Europe nor anywhere else in the world." he said. "Those markets are ours only upon a very' limited scale

Market I* in U. S. "It Is here in the United States, in the homes of millions of common people, that our markets must be found. And they never can be found until we restore purchasing power to these people. “You never can restore purchasing power while private interests through combinations and agreements fix prices. “Give the farmer a fair market—a market in which he can realize the cost of production with reasonable profits—and he will return the check, take back the idle acres, fight for the life of his pigs, and chase the first representative of bureaucracy appearing at his barn gate, with a pitchfork. "It would seem that the only market for the American farmer is here in the United States, at his very door And it seems to me that under a sound economic system that market is ample to insure, in connection with a fair system of refinancing farm indebtedness and a just tax policy, return of orosperity to American agriculture. I say a return of prosperity. The time has been so long that perhaps I should say insure prosperity to American agriculture." POLICEMAN GETS GIFT Practical Joker Send* Box of Chalk to Tire Marker.

FIGHT LOOMS IN CONGRESS OVER TAX ON SALES

Method to Be Proposed if Administration Offers Different Plan. BY RUTH FINNEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—The sales tax battle may be fought again at this session of Congress, it was learned today. Rep. John W. McCormack. (D.. Mass.) will propose this method of raising funds to meet farmers’ contracts and to finance the bonus if a different plan Is proposed by the Administration. He is a member of the House Ways and Means Committee. It seems unlikely, at present, that many of Rep. McCormack's Democratic colleagues will support him. Few of them distinguish, as he does, between a processing tax and a sales tax. and Democrats have been squirming uncomfortably as Republicans scored the AAA's "tax on the necessities of life.” Likewise the Republican crusade against taxes on food and clothing seems to preclude much sales tax support from that quarter. Says Levies Differ Mr. McCormack said a general manufacturers’ excise tax is different from a processing tax. It would be painless, he suggested, though he had no good word for the processing tax. His sales tax, he said, would carry a lower rate because it would be spread over more territory. A 2% per cent tax would raise $500,000,000 for benefit payments to farmers, he said, and if money to meet interest payments due because of the bonus were included he thought 3 per cent, would be ample to cover it. A number of processing taxes were 4 per cent. Mr. McCormack favors exempting necessities of life from the sales tax. In the past. Republicans usually haves sponsored the sales tax. Former Senator Reed Smoot, once chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, favored it. and at periodic intervals over the last 20 years it became an issue ’in that body. Garner Favored It When Democrats first captured the House of Representatives. John Garner, then Speaker, was for it. In a bitter floor battle, two Republican liberals. La Guardia of New York and Swing of California, were largely responsible for defeating it. President Roosevelt denounced the sales tax early in his Administration. silencing most Democrats who had advocated it in the past. But the processing taxes for financing AAA were strictly an Administration measure and have been defended by Mr. Roosevelt and members of his Cabinet. The processing taxes, even though they have been passed on to the consumer, have met most bitter opposition from New England textile manufacturers, packers and other large industrial groups. Republicans. however, using them as a campaign issue, have played upon the burden they lay on consumers—long the argument of sales tax opponents. Two of the 24 states that tried sales taxes have abandoned them recently—New Jersey and Kentucky. AGED WATCHDOG DIES Shepherd Escorted Children Across Street for 13 Years. By United Prm k CHESTER.

Posthumous Election Victory Spreads Anti-New Deal Move in South. BY LYLE C. WILSON United Pres# Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—Huey P. Long's posthumous primary election victory spread the anti-Roose-velt movement today deep into what used to be the Solid South. It is conceivable that the man in the grave may yet stop the man in the White House, as he often had promised to do. Louisiana's primary returns which nominated candidates of the Long machine is notice to New Dealers that at least 10 southern electoral votes as far from certain for President Roosevelt next November. Republican strategy today would be to foster quietly a third party movement if the New Deal reverse in Louisiana is to be completely capitalized. Through most of the late Senator Long’s service in Congress the Republican opposition instigated some of his .sharpest and most embarrassing assaults on the Roosevelt Administration. Intentions Are Indicated However. Republican strategists may decide to take advantage of the Louisiana bolt. The intentions of Long machine leaders toward the national Democratic Administration have been plainly indicated. Gov. O. K. Allen, who has been nominated to serve the Kingfish's unexpired Senate term, had this to say: "This stupendous victory is positive disapproval of the Roosevelt New Deal and its alphabetical slush fund. In this, the first vote cast in the South, the New Deal has been absolutely repn Hated.” The New Deal will control the Democratic national convention next June and may seat a Louisiana delegation pledge dto cast its ballots for the renomination of Mr. Roosevelt. But if the people of Louisiana follow their Long machine leaders in the elections next November it is not likely that the state's electoral vote will be set down in the Roosevelt column. Louisiana Has 10 Votes Louisiana has 10 votes in the electoral college. In a close election—and many persons believe the next one will be almost a dead heat—lo votes might win the day or lose it. But there are more than 10 votes in jeopardy if a first-rate third party movement develops. There are now constituted and regularly recognized in Congress four parties. They are: Democratic, Republican, Progressive and Farmer-Labor. A fifth party is in the making, composed of Dr. F. E. Townsend’s oldage pensioners, the adherents of OARP, Inc., which means old-age revolving pensions. That is the S2OO-a-month scheme for every one 60 or more years old. The Progressive Party controls a state. Wisconsin, which casts 12 votes in the electoral college. The Farmer-Labor Party controls a state, Minnesota,- which casts 11. And in Georgia—l 2 electoral votes—a redgallused young Governor named Eugene Talmadge is making daily vows that he will keep his state our of the Roosevelt parade if he must run for President himself. California Is Fat Prize Fattest, most tempting of the electoral college prizes which might be won away from either of the major parties is California with 22 votes. Northern Californians probably would sputter indignation at the thought, but it is not beyond the probabilities for Dr. Townsend to kidnap that state this year as Upion Sinclair almost did in 1934. Sinclair’s magic formula was EPICEnd Poverty in California. A great many "ifs” interpose between naming these five states and putting them out of Roosevelt’s column or in any other. But they are five the New Dealers would have bet considerable money they would carry a year ago and the odds are less today. They represent 67 electoral votes which the New Deal can not afford to lose next November. As it stands today almost any third party candidate who will embrace Long’s share-the-wealth could expect to carry Louisiana. The same candidate need only shout for OARP. Inc., to gain the devotion and votes of California's powerful Townsend movement, as well as Townsend Club support in manyother states. Tiny Boy Is Eagle Scout Bv United Prees SPOKANE. Wash..
