WASHINGTON, Oct.. 29. — Republicans in the house have made it impossible to have any sizable tax increase for the time being. Whatever the faults of the’ administration tax proposal, it at least admitted that something needed to be done. The ways and means committee tentatively has adopted mild increases which are far from adequate. But, in the main, the Republicans have shut their eyes to ‘the dangerous eonditions and said there should be no major increases of any kind, echoing the advice the National Association of Manufacturers had given to the , house committee. Republicans had an excuse. They said people never would stand for more taxes until there {| was economy. They said that instead of raising more | revenue, congress should cut government expenses. ll! Their ranking man on the ways and means com- { mittee, Rep. Taber, repeated a list showing he could | cut three or four billion dollars each from the army | and navy. oT { Such economies will not meet the inflation dan- || ger which requires the absotption of more spending | - power than that, The proposed economies also will be offset in part by other increases in army-navy fecosts,
6. 0.P. Should Make Good Now
“BUT HAVING taken their stand, the Republicans should now move to make good on their economy ipaign. There is need for it. If it is not a cure for the inflationary danger, it is a desirable check §' on waste. This is something the Republicans are in ‘a’ position. to underfake, especially with regard to i} economies in war expenditures. The administration is not likely to do much econ.omizing itself. Army and navy people are not especially interested in economy. War is wasteful. The big thing is to get results, and it is not good for fighting forces to be worrying about economies. Their business is to fight, Naturally they demand everything they think they are going to need, and they are not likely to bother to go back and turn off the spigot when the situation changes,
’ WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.—Mr. Roosevelt finds 8 old package on his doorstep this morning, just head of’ Halloween. A pair of heavy eyebrows may 8 found Inside, but this isn't somebody's boyish prank. [it's the old coal-wage row back again, and somewhat : +. more serious than it was the last time. For winter's coming on, and on top of the authenticated fact that this package means trouble and might ‘mean much more trouble in war production, it also means that if mishandled, a lot of people are going to be cold during the ensuing months. What will Mr. Roosevelt do with his package? He might-just rewrap the whole thing and send it over to Harold Ickes, secretary of the interior, who took charge of it before and did a right good job with it, loo, considering. Mr: Ickes ran up the flag over the coal mines and pasted up a quantity of red-white-and-blue proclamations, and after awhile the miners went back to work—but not until that was all right with John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers. The trouble with Mr. Ickes’ administration of the several thousand coal mines was that he got into a tow with the war labor board. Mr. Ickes thought the Job of being the world’s largest coal operator included authority over what the miners should be paid. So he was always needling WLB about its slowness in deciding the coal-wage case, and Be made it preity glear that if he had his way he would give the miners Just about what Mr. Lewis wanted,

It may be stated on authority that he will be urged not to use the Ickes disposal plan, but to turn the mine-operating chore over to some other official figure. The name of Secretary of War Stimson has been bruited about in this connection—the idea being that if the government has to keep on mixing into the coal business it might as well go in this time with real soldiers carrying real

This military note was omitted from the government’s recent mine adventures, apparently because jt was thought that the miners would be offended, Mr. Roosevelt first talked appealingly to the miners.
