LONG GRIEVANCE EXPLAINS HOUSE SHAKEUP ACTION

Defeat of Executive Bill Is Interpreted as Blow Against President.

By E.R. R. WASHINGTON, April 12—The

vote by which the leading legisla- | # - tive project of the Roosevelt Admin-

istration for the final session of the present Congress was buried in the

House last Friday was more a defeat |

for the Presdent personally than for the principle of Government reor-

ganization. The outcome was the |; result of an accumulation of griev-|# these a supposed |%

ances. Among tendency toward dictatorship was

important, but more important was | |

the failure of the President during the first three months of the present session to bring forward a program to “solve the depression.” Reports that a new four billion dollar spending program was in contemplation came too late to retrieve earlier losses of votes. :

While the House was killing off the Reorganization Bill, the Senate was writing its own prescription for recovery. On Stuarday it adopted - & tax revision bill in which it threw overboard the wundstributed profits tax, as an encouragement to business. It turned a deaf ear to Senator La Follette’s pleas to broaden the base of the income tax by lowering exemptions, but accepted by a close vote an amendment by Senator Borah to make future issues of Federal securities subject to taxa-

House Shelves Bill

Eight months ago the House passed, by the overwhelming vote

of 283 to 76, a bill to give the Presi-| Yet

dent power for ‘wo years to shift, consolidate or abolish Government agencies, subject. to congressional veto within a 60-day period. This became the heart of the Reorganization Bill considered in the Senate this year and approved by that body _ at the end of March, 49 to 42. Not- . withstanding its earlier approval of ' the vital section on reorganization, . the House recommitted the Senate’s bill last week by a vote of 204 to 196 and thus shelved the reorganization project for the session. Senator Minton (D. Ind.) voted for passage of the Reorganization Bill and Senator VanNuys (D. Ind) was announced against the measFive Indiana Representatives voted for the motion in the House to recommit the bill They were Reps. Halleck, Pettengill, Boehne, Gray and Ludlow. Those voting against shelving the proposal were Reps. Schulte, ' Farley, Griswold, Jenckes, Greenwood, Crowe and Eighty-seven members who had supported the reorganization bill in the House last August voted to shelve the omnibus bill sent over from the Senate. Indiana Representatives who shifted their position were Reps. Halleck, PettenNo Republican vote was cast for the Reorganization Bill in either House. In the Senate the bill received the support of 64.3 per cent of the Democrats present and voting. Democratic support in the House was nearly equal to that given in the Senate—63.8 per cent of the Democrats present and vot- _ ing—but was not sufficient to overcome the proportionately greater voting strength of the Republicans. Defeat for the Reorganization Bill fs believed to have sealed the fate of the Administrations Wage-Hour Bill for the present Congress. This Lill, similarly recommitted by the House at the special session after 1 had been approved by the Senate, ‘had recently been showing renewed signs. of life, but efforts on its behalf are now likely to be abandoned. Whereas the margin for recommitting the Reorganization Bill was eight votes, that for recommitting the Wage-Hour Bill last December was 18 votes. 1

Majorities of the House Democrats from all geographic areas, excepting only the South Atlantic - states, supported the President on the Wage-Hour Bill, on the other hand, majorities of the Democrats from the South Atlantic, East South Central, West South Central, and West North Central states vot-

A compliation by Editorial Research Reports shows that the 196 members of the House who voted against recommitting the Reorganiaztion Bill represented districts with a total population of 57,045,000. The 204 members who voted to recommit, and carried the day, represented districts with a total population of 56,367,000. The 1938 revenue bill as passed by the Senate eliminates the undivided profits tax which had been widely condemned as “freezing” capital and thus impeding recovery and makes important changes in the capital gains tax which also had been demanded by business interests.

The Senate declined to approve an additional excise tax on liquor and eliminated a special tariff on imported pork and pork products, both of which had been approved by the House. The Senate also refused to change the present scale of social security taxes, and turned down a proposal by Senator Pope (D. Ida.) to impose processing taxes on finished products of basic commodities covered in the ‘“evernormal granary” act—wheat, cot-

But Could Hardly Get Around At All Previously—Says She Owes All Her Remarkable Changes to Natex.

Medicines compounded chiefly from ingredients obtained from

nature’s herbs have enjoyed great}

ularity ever since Biblical days. But it id for Natex to develop such a medicine that was far superior to any that had been sold previously. That is why the Natex representative who is daily meeting focal people at Haag’s Claypool Hotel Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts, hears so many stories like that of Mrs. Mae John-

son, wife of the respected carpenter |

living at 1202 Orange St., who says: “y I suffered with constipation vey all of my life, and since I never did anything about it, I naturally began to suffer with other ailments. For all of 3 years I was in bad condition, and about 1 year ago was forced to remain in bed for ‘a month, Since then I've felt just too miserable. I had almost daily headaches, was too nervous to sleep soundly at night; lost my appetite and yet suffered with gas, nausea and shortages of breath after even the lightest meal, and was so weak and wornout generally that 1 couldn't even do my housework without laying down for a spell at times. Why, only about a month ago I came downtown and, after a little was barely able to pull elf aboard a streetcar. “I'm delighted to say however, that I'm like an entirely different since I've taken Natex for

ton, rice, fibers. Senator Pope’s amendment imposing processing taxes to finance farmer benefits under the newly enacted farm bill was rejected, 53 nays to 24 years. Both Senators VanNuys and Minton voted - against the proposed amendment.

Amendments Beaten

Senator La Follette (P. Wis) offered two amendments designed to broaden the base of income taxation. The first, rejected 44 nays to 33 yeas, would have imposed sur-

taxes on net incomes as low as $3000 and would have raised suraxes on all net incomes between $3000 and $40,000. The second, rejected by a voice vote, would have lowered present personal exemptions for single persons from $1000 to $800, and for married persons from $2500 to $2000. Senator VanNuys voted against the La Follette amendment rais‘ing income surtaxes, while Senator Minton voted for the measure. The Senate did accept by the narrow margin of 34 yeas to 33 nays an amendment by Senator Borah (R. Idaho) making interest upon future issues of Federal securities subject to income taxation. Senator VanNuys voted for, and Senator Minton voted against the Borah amendment. Immediately afterward, however, the Senate rejected an amendment by Senator Clark (D. Mo.) making interest upon future
