i oe Carlson’ Claims ’ Skip- Year|

Formula Would Raise “Extra 3 Billion.

WASHINGTON. March 27 (U. P.). i _ —Rep. Frank Carlson (R. Kas.), auA thor of the Carlson-Ruml “skip-a-4 year” income tax plan, said today a his bill: would bring an- additional i $3,000,000,000 into the treasury this year and assailed as “pure dema--joguery” arguments that it would ireate “countless thousands” of war millionaires. “The skeletons of 60 millionaires and $10,000,000,000 forgiveness ‘to : the treasury are being dragged over , every trail in the nation,” Carlson said in a speech prepared for delivery in the house at noon. “All the opposition has been able to see are 60 millionaires sunning themselves on the beach. They do not want to recognize the other 44,000,000 taxpayers who are hanging to driftwood’ and rafts, hoping and praying: that: someone: will rescue them from their tax indebtedness.’ 2

“Simple Nonsense”

earison termed the treasury’s ar.gument that the Ruml plan would wipe ‘out $10,000,000,000 in assets as “simple nonsense.” “The treasury’s analogy is wholly false,” he said. “The treasury in-

existing -law, “Under the present law collections will ‘be about $10,000,000,000 while if 'we adopt the proposal in the Carlson bill the tax collections in 1943 will be $13,000,000,000.” Carlson . warned that the nation is facing serious and grave tax problems. He said the CarlsonRuml plan, and only the CarlsonRuml plan, will solve these problems.

Congress Has Choice

Carlson insisted that congress has a choice of either forgiving tax pay- , ments or doubling them up to place the nation on a pay-as-you-go basis, adding: Wh “I do not think it would be practical or expedient to try and collect

two years taxes in one period. Dou=|.

ble. taxation in any year or in any series ‘of years would result in a

of ratio- of assessment that is utterly

i unjust.’ bas “In many cases it would - mean E that ‘the amount of tax to be paid would be greater than the income. That would. result in confiscation of capital. » ; Battle Is 50-50

: Veteran observers. agreed that the tax battle is a 50-50 proposition, despite rival claims of . victory and numerous attempts to corthpromise on a partial forgiveness plan, such as the one proposed by Rep. A. Willis Robertson (D. Va.). The Robertson plan would forgive the basic’ income tax rate of six per cent normal and 13 per cent first bracket surtax for all taxpayers on their 1942 payments, The national Grange, one of the big farm organizations, sent a letter to all members of the house ways and means committee today in favor of ‘the skip-a-year plan.

Peterson, ‘chairman of the och plowing and projects committee: «+ The OCD garden’ committee has compiled a list of available plowmen, but the number to date will not take care of the demand. Many plowmen on the list are completely booked for. the: season. ‘Mr. Peterson points out that there are still many persons on the outskirts of town who have not registered with OCD and might still

If those names were filed with the OCD, ‘he said, the committee would be able to provide names upon inquiry. ‘Attempts will be made to divide the city into districts sé that plowmen will not be asked to: go far afield. for their work. . In this way,’ transportation difficulties will be niinimized. ‘No prices bn plowing will be quoted, for the amount charged will depend ‘upon the size, location and condition of the land and the num ber of hours necessary to complete the task.

Three methods of application were suggested by Mr. . Commercial fertilizer may be applied in two bands—one on each side of the seed—in one band at least two inches below the seed, or in a wide furrow with a band two irches on each side of the seed. One pound of fertilizer (two cupsful) will be sufficient for 25 feet of row. All bands should be three inches deep and at least two inches {rom the seed or newly set plant, Mr. Irwin said. “Never plant seed or

‘|set a plant directly in tommercial

fertilizer,” he warned, “and do not get commercial fertilizer on the foliage.” Keep Feeding Plants

To fertilize tomatoes, three holes, three inches deep should be made around the plant at least two inches from the roots. One tablespoon of

hole. After the first fruits appear, keep feeding the plant by adding one teaspoonful each month, Mr. Irwin said. Discussing soil preparation, Mr. Irwin pointed out that soil in Indianapolis is still too wet to plow or spade. . “You'll have clods like bricks this summer, if you work the soil while it’s wet,” he said. To test the soil, dig down 5 or 6 inches, take a sample of soil and squeeze it in your hand. If it's sticky like dough, don’t work on it. If the soil crumbles and falls apart when squeezed, the ground is ready to be worked.
