The little town of Findlay, Ohio, or the bigger town of New York, might well erect some monument to her memory. She contributed a great deal to human cheerfulness and happiness, and it may be said of her, as Samuel Johnson said, referring to the death of the great actor, Garrick, that her death "eclipsed the gayety of nations and impover- ~ ished the public’s stock of harmless pleasure."

News Review of Current Events the World Over Congressmen Hurrying With Tax and Relief Programs— Black's Committee Wins a Decision —Distracting Rivalries in European Diplomacy. By EDWARD W, PICKARD © Western Newspaper Union.

CONGRESS settled down to earnest work that would clear the way for early adjournment, the two chief matters under consideration being taxes and relief. Democratlc members of the house ways and means f 1 committee worked In j executive session to draw up the new rev--1 enue measure which PSI they expect will yield ' 1 about $799,000,000 In B additional taxes during jB the next year. The mlnority members stayed Harrv l away, scornfully *suJZw.. serting their presence Hopkins wag nseJeM because the preparation of the measure was utterly partisan. Representative A. P. Lam neck of Ohio, Democrat, was Insistent on bls plan to raise $500,000,- , 000 by a flat 20 to 22 per cent tax on corporation Income. To produce $263,000,000 more and taring bls plan nearly up to the money requirement outlined by President Roosevelt, Lamneck would repeal the present exemption of corporation dividends from the normal Income tax rate. On that, he was In agreement with the committee program. Harry L. Hopkins, head of the WPA, appeared before a subcommittee of the house appropriations committee, also In executive session, to urge compliance with President Roosevelt’s reguest for an additional billion and a half to finance relief In the 1937 fiscal year. Various committee members at once demanded that Mr. Hopkins tell what had been done with the $4,800,000.000 granted last year. He was said to have promised to do his best to satisfy them, but Chairman J. P. Buchanan warned the minority members that “this Is not to be made Into an investigation." PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, happy and well tanned, wound up his fishing cruise In the Bahamas and re- ■ turned to Washington. He landed at ; Fort Lauderdale and boarded his spej clal train at once, being accompanied for a time by Governor Sholtx of j Florida and James A. Moffett who may j be appointed assistant secretary of the j navy to succeed the late Henry Roosej velL Governor McNutt of Indiana, j possible keynoter of the Democratic i convention, went up from Miami to , greet the President On the way to Washington Mr. i Roosevelt stopped for half a day at Warm Springs. Ga, to look at his | farm and take a swim In the resort ' pool. Passing through part of the * region devastated by the recent torna- ’ does, he received reports from eyewitnesses along the route. SENATOR BLACK’S lobby committee won a considerable victory to the District of Columbia Supreme court when Chief Justice Wheat refused to enjoin the committee from using the telegrams from and to WilHam R. Hearst which S had been seized. The judge held that the 1 court had no Jurisdic- I tlon over the committee, and said he could I not see that the free- I dom of the press was I in any way involved. . Said his honor: "I have not been to- &enat °r Black ! formed yet of any case to which any court has assumed to dictate to a committee of the senate what it should do and what It should not do. and I do not feel that I have any right to inaugurate any such principle as that" Elisha Hanson, counsel for Mr. Hearst, announced that he would appeal from the decision, and it was certain that the case would ultimately be taken before the United State* Su- 1 preroe court Continuing its investigation, the Black committee beard the testimony of Fred G. Clark of New York, na-/ tlonal commander of the Crusaders. Mr. Clark denied that the organisation had ever engaged to lobbying, and declared that It had assailed the methods of lobbyists to a national radio broadcast Senator Black endeavored to show that the Crusaders. the Amcgrican Liberty league, the Sentinels 'of the Republic, the Southern Committee to Up- ' bold the Constitution, the American Taxpayers’ league, the National Economy league, and similar organization* opposed to the New Deal were supported largely by the same small group of wealthy Industrialists. One of bi* investigators put In a list ot contributors to two or more of the group* named. Mr. Clark obtained permission to Include in the record a list of bun deeds of small •ontributors. who .sent to sums ranging from $1 up to response to the radio program. MUSSOLINTS African adventure and Hitler’s Rhineland dotogi and future Intentions, tangled together. have created a situation that seemed to toperU the formal friendship between Great Britain am! France. The British were insisting that Italy be curbed, that her use of prison gas to Ethiopia be taken up by the League of Nations and that peace negotiations between Italy and UOdopla be opened quickly to forestall any attempt by Premier Mussolini to sign a settlement which might riot from ruin* of Halle Selassie’s Ethlk opian empire. Foreign Secretary EMen iudicsted the Brittab were determlrec | irortToeneva? Britato*reserving Ito

rejs, and in Rome Mussolini told hl* cabinet that Ethiopia's armies should and would be “totally annihilated." His own forces, meanwhile, were moving rapidly toward Dessye and Addis Ababa. France was reverting to her former policy of letting Italy go ahead with its African conquest, devoting her attention mainly to Germany and central Europe. The British continued to treat all that in a conciliatory way, which disgusted the French. Premier Sarraut handed In his government’s reply to the Hitler settlement proposals, submitting in return Its own plan. This demanded that Germany keep "hands off” the rest of Europe for 25 years, renouncing her apparent intentions of action against Austria. Danzig and Memel, and claims for colonies. It submitted a French peace , plan based on “collective security" with regional mutual assistance pacts backed by an International army directed by a commission working through the league. / ' FEDERAL money totaling $976,000.000 will be spent in the next four years on low-cost rent and slum clearance construction projects, provided —the administration’s ■ housing bill, totroduced by Senator Robert F - Wa s ner of New • J York, is passed by lb >**B congress. Mr. Wagner asß hopes it will be put through during the ; J present session. The measure Is a c om p r o m 1 s e of the kflßfekMßßß nian - v proposals made by the various relief Sen. Wagner an( j housing agencies of the New Deal and was drafted after a aeries of conferences with President Roosevelt It would ’ create another bureau, with five directors, including the secretary of the Interior in his ex officio capacity, receiving SIO,OOO salaries. The authority could employ officers, agents; counsel and other personnel without limitation as to number or compensation and without regard for the civil service laws. This authority would supplant the existing housing division of the Public Works administration. Only $51,000,000 would be appropriStosfkfor the present, of which $1,000,OOd would be used for the purchase of the authority's capital stock, but the bill authorises appropriations of $75,000,000 for the fiscal year 1938, $100,000,000 for 1939, and $100,000,000 for 1940. In addition to these authorizations, the authority could borrow $100,000,000 from the Reconstruction Finance corporation, and sell notes or bonds, fully guaranteed. by the government as to principal and Interest, up to $100,000,000 foSHhe fiscal year 1937 and $150,000,000 for each of the succeeding three years. This brings the grand total to $976,000,000. The authority would be empowered to make granta not to exceed 45 per cent of the total cost and loan* for the remainder to any public bousing agency for the acquisition of land and the construction of “low-rent” housing projects. The loans would be repayable over a period not to exceed 60 years, at such rates ot Interest as the authority decreed. In addition to the loans and grants, the authority could develop and administer so-called demonstration projects, which “as soon as practicable" would be sold to public bousing agencies. FLYING through a fog on Its way to Pittsburgh, a Transcontinental and Western Air liner went far out of its course, plowed through the forest seven miles southeast of Union City, Pa., and smashed into a granite wall on Chestnut Ridge. Nine passengers and the two pilots were killed. Tiie stewardess. Miss Nellie Granger, managed to drag one man and the sole woman passenger from the flaming wreckage, bound up their wounds, ran four mile* to a farmhouse from which she telephoned to Pittsburgh the news of the disaster, and then to the scene to care for the survivors until a rescue party could arrive. The pilots were flying on x radlo beam, and It was believed their radio apparatus failed. At this writing there is no other explanation. SOMETHING new In Spanish history took place in Madrid. The parliament. by a vote of 238 to 5, ousted Nlceto Alcala Zamora from the office of president ot the republic. This action, accomplished by a coalition of Socialists. Communists, Left Republicans and ten minor groups, was taken on a Socialist motion that the president had acted Illegally to dissolving the last parliament before the election* and that therefore be should be expelled from office. Back of this motion. however, lay radical sentiment that Zamora, to using his power according to personal whim, has hampered the progress of the “republican revolution." Diego Martinez Barrio, speaker of parliament was made temporary president to serve until elections are held.

SYRACUSE JdfrRNAL

SENATOR NORRIS’ bill creating a Mississippi Valley authority to apply the TVA experiment to 22 states Is not approved by the National Grange, which thinks it would be absurd to bring new land into cultivation by irrigation while farmers are being paid for letting their land lie fallow. Fred H. Brenckman, legislative representative of the Grange, appeared before a senate agriculture subcommittee and said the organization also objected to the proposal to construct huge dams throughout the Mississippi valley for the production of hydro-electric power. He favored a scientific program of soil conservation but insisted upon a distinction between conservation and reclamation. He also advocated a scientific flood control program, but distinguished between flood control and hydro-electric power development. Like previous witnesses, including electrical engineers and Morris L. Cooke, the New Deal's rural electrification administrator. Mr. Brenckman Informed the Committee that flood control can be accomplished only by constructing little dams far up in the headwaters. FIVE hundred members of the Workers’ Alliance, to convention to Washington, marched to the White House to demand continuation of the Works Progress administration, but neither President Roosevelt nor any of his secretaries was there to receive their petition. The men were orderly and the police did not molest them. | WPA Administrator Hopkins also was absent from his office, but his assistant, Aubrey Williams, received the delegation. David Lasser, national chairman of the organization, told Williams the group had been promised food and shelter during their stay In Washington and transportation to their homes. Williams said that under a regulation promulgated February 2 no federal funds could be donated for conventions of the unemployed unless congress made a specific appropriation for that purpose. DUE to the insistence of Senator Vandenberg for publicity on large AAA benefit payments. Secretary Wallace has begun telling about them. He made a partial report, withholding the names of recipients with three exceptions. This revealed that the largest cotton rental benefit paymenL $123,747 for 1934, went to a Mississippi company headed by Oscar Johnston, an AAA official. Among the largest cotton payment recipients in 1933 were the Mississippi state penitentiary, which received $43,200 for controlling production on its cotton acreage, and $25,500 to the Arkansas state prison. / Resolving itself into a court, the senate began the Impeachment trial of Federal Judge Halsted, L. Ritter of Florida—the twelfth such case Sin 137 years. It was believed the trial would last at least one week. Th* vtafendant was represented by Carl T. Hoffman of Miami and Frank R. Walsh of Washington and New York. The prosecution was to charge o f Representatives Summers of Texas, Hobbs of Alabama Judge Ritter an( j p er kj na O s Jersey, who will present the charges. Originally approximately 60 wltnkues were summoned for the trial, buP29 were excused because of withdrawal by the prosecution of two specifications in article seven charging Judge Ritter acted Improperly in electric rate and banking proceedings. Judge Ritter Is charged in seven impeachment articles voted by the j house with allowing A. L. Rankin, a former law partner, exorbitant receiv- | ership fees, with “corruptly" receiving $4,500 from Rankin, with violating the | Judicial code In practicing law while on the bench, land with evasion of taxes on part of his 1929 and 1930 incomes. In a 12,000-word reply, Ritter denied all of the charges. He asserted none of the actions cited had “brought ; hla court Into scandal and disrepute" or “destroyed public confidence in the | administration of Justice" in that court. TORNADOES • tor* across Mississippi, Alabama. Georgia. Arkansas, and Tennessee, leaving death and destruction tn their wake. About 400 person* were killed and hundreds of others injured, and the property losses ran up into th* millions. The little city of Tupelo, suffered the most, with nearly 200 on the death list and more that* a hundred homes smashed into kindling wood. A few hour* later another tornado struck Gainesville, and to three minute* had nearly ruined th* busL ness section of the town and killed mor* than 130 persons. In fires that followed the storm the bodies at many victim* were burned beyond recognition. The mining communities near O lumbla, Tenn., to the north and east of Tupelo, counted seven dead. Red Bay. eastward to Alabama, lost five lives to the merciless wind. Near-by Booneville. Mtex. bad four killed and Batesville, Art, suffered one death. The tornadoes struck while the southeast was reaching a final total on storms which smashed through that region a few days before, causing 43 deaths to Georgia, the Carolinas, Alabama and Florida. IN A decision concerning a specific action of the Securities Exchange commission the United State* Supreme court ruled against the SEC, and to Its pronouncement it uttered a significant warning against the exercise at arbitrary power by governmental agencies. Especially censured were the “fishing excursions,” often undertaken by commissions and congressional committees. The decision was concurred tn by six Justices; a dissenting opinion handed down by Justices Cardozo, Brandels and Stone, agreed with th* warning of th* abuse of power, but contended that the act of the SEC, held unlawful by the majority, was a legal and Just means of stampto* out fraud* in security sales.

Digest National Topics Interpreted By WILLIAM PPiJCKART

Washington.—ln the last few weeks tn Washington, we have heard little * n »«. Bbout any kovernA.U Talh mental affairs exAhoot Foxes cept taxes. Everyone charged with responsibility for maintenance of government credit or the maintenance of the supply of cash to carry on the era of spending is talking about taxes. It is In truth the predominant subject, overshadowing even the lobby investigation headed by Senator Black, Alabama Democrat, with that committee’s record of obtaining private telegrams by subterfuge. It really is not startling that everyone should be talking about taxes because, however you examine the question of government at this time, your analysis must inevitably lead back to the question of the source of funds. And how could it be otherwise? We have a national debt $5,000,000,000 larger than it has ever been before, and still going higher; we have seven or nine or eleven million people unemployed—depending on the source of your information on this point—and we are confronted with declarations from President Roosevelt and his ad : risers that more must be spent. It seems perfectly obvious, therefore, that saner minds should be examining the whole economic structure of the nation to determine from whence the money is to come. Congress is in the midst of working out a new tax bill. The house of representatives, where revenue legislation must originate, according to the Constitution which is still operative, is up to its neck with the tax problem. It is trying to work out a tax bill that will carry out the White House orders to take more money from corporations by levies on surpluses along with some minor schemes of taxation designed to Increase the total somewhat During the time the house ways and means committee was trying to formulate a tax program on the basis of the President’s tax message, there was a perfect deluge of tax discussion hereabouts. I think it may be said in this connection, also, that the house ways and means committee did a rather ridiculous thing as a preliminary to presentation of a tax bill to the house. It actually began hearings on tax legislation without a tax bill In legislative language having been drafted. As far as I can learn, it was the first time that witnesses were called in and asked to testify as to the efficacy of proposed tax legislation when there was actually no language In legislative form about which those witnesses could testify, either for or against. All the committee had before it was a socalled “committee report,” a statement of Its views as to what ought to be done and It was almost pitiful to witness individuals who are expert on taxation attempting to catch on to some wlll-o’-the-wlsp and say that it was sound or unsound. Yet, that was what Chairman Doughton, Democrat, North Carolina, and his committee asked them to do. Perhaps- I ought to explain for the benefit of those not acquainted with tax legislation that there is nothing so Important to a tax bill as the i exact language. There are few places in Jaw where the use of a ] particular word or the placing of a particular comma makes so much difference. In tax law, the dotting of ) an 1 and the crossing of a t are, Indeed, important • • • One benefit has accrued from this situation, however, and I hope, as I believe everyone else Ivneefer * desiring good goverament and proper laws hopes, that Jt I will result in a tax bill generally more acceptable than has been proposed -thus far. The maelstrom of discussion that has arisen from the house way* and means committee hearings has made a good many people "tax conscious.” Being “tax conscious" at this time, a good many men capable of thinking straight have begun to offer suggestions. I have been receiving some of them myself and one that has come to me has impressed me so much that I sm going to use the substance of it in this column. It comes to me from Mr. Harry A. Wheeler, widely known business executive and banker of Chicago. Mr. Wheeler has been recognized for a quarter of a century as a man who is given to looking rather far into the future and for his ability to analyze problems, circumstances and conditions on a long-term basis rather than on urgency of current requirements. “Since the consideration of the corporate surplus tax act began,” Mr. Wheeler wrote me, “I have watched the proceedings closely for some alternative proposal that would produce a substantial tax revenue and yet tend to strengthen the program of the administration to assure continuing business recovery, create definite added employment in industries still down, and lower production cost* and price* to the ultimate consumer. “No one denies that Increased federal revenue by taxation is imperative, but it may be open to argument whether this can best be produced by the direct route of tex levies to cover fun requirement or by beginning with a plan that win produce a large proportion of the requirements and permit the use of the remainder to accomplish the results first above stated. “The proposal is very simple, quite capable of being written into legislative provisions; it would carry a clear guarantee of useful results and reach the final full requirements of the government by progressively increasing taxable profits. "I propose that whatever per cent of undistributed profits may be deter mined upon as the tax base, permission shaU be given for a draw-back or re-

tention of say 20, 25 or 33% per cent on condition that this amount shall be used for capital expenditure to improve and cheapen production and distribution facilities. “The draw-back may be by repayment to the taxpayer upon voucher evidence that the amount has been actually expended or by credit upon the second year’s tax levy. “Corporations will not fan to use this remainder and perhaps even add to It out of their available corporate resources. • • • “Permanent goods Industries will at once be stimulated by the knowledge that purchases wIU Stimulate be made to an agInduatriea gregate of the drawback, and stimulation of employment must result in most needed quarters. “The universality of this Improve rnent tn production and distribution facllties will create the competitive conditions that will compel savings to be passed on to consumers, but if any corporation tries to hold the added profits they will be taxed away In the following years. “Living standards may be raised by making more commodities come within the range of prices the public will pay. “Forced distribution in dividends to escape corporate high brackets will find a large part being paid to stockholders taxed in very low brackets and the result over all is not unlikely to prove disappointing. “Increased tax rates on income or earnings leads to the struggle to avoid payment by every device that can be developed. It may be that, this plan of draw-back would distinctly modify this tendency.” It is the first time that I have heard -from any source the suggestion that the tax law should be made an instrument to encourage business recovery and promote employment. All of the objections heretofore have been directed at the character of the proposal and have not Included constructive thoughts which could be used as a new base. Mr. Wheeler’s plan may not be complete. It may not represent an answer to the tax needs in their entirety, but it must be said in Its favor that it suggests an approach to the necessary answer and embodies therein a plan of action which will not kill the goose that lays the golden egg. In other words, it has been proved too many times to require discussion that higher tax rates reduce the incentive and the chief opposition to the administration proposal Is Just that It rakes away the Incentive of the corporations to make more money which would be available for taxation. The Wheeler proposal, therefore, offers an Incentive to corporations to proceed with plans of expanding their operation and thereby increase the number of workers on their pay rolls. It seems to me that if the administration is seriously trying to alleviate unemployment, it must give consideration to a taxing plan that will enable Industry to go ahead, while bearing a fair share of the tax burden, and take back on its pay rolls those who were laid off during the depression years. • • • I repeat that I do not know whether the Wheeler program is the complete answer but the fact Nearing a man of bls Tax Limit status in the country’s business life is giving consideration to the tax problem on a long term basis leads certainly to two conclusions. These conclusions are, first, that the country is nearing the limits of what might be called reasonable taxation and, second, that a very great majority of our people believe some consideration should be given to the need for an end to government spending. If taxation has reached the point where an overexpanded federal government requires so much money that it must take away the backlogs, the reserves of business, then it Is quite apparent that a shrinkage in this structure called government must begin. If it does not, one could reasonably say that government credit is endangered, or will be if the spending continue* much longer. We have been using up our resources actually to billions for the construction of many different types of thing* from which no earnings accrue. Then, to addition, I think no one can deny but that there has been wide-spread waste of these funds, it is a splendid thing to have excellent roads, fine public buildings, beautiful parks and restored forests, etc, but they have to be paid for out of taxpayers’ money. Moreever, there Is no profit available from any such Investments that can be taxed. That money is gone, dead. It is fine to have those things if we can afford them, but beauty of the countryside won’t fill empty stomachs. © Wwteni Newnxw Uuioa. The Bost Thing* The best things that we hope sot are those which are most largely within our own power. We may not bo able to foretell whetherduring the year the crop* will have favorable weather, we may not know whether the particular business Interests to which we are engaged will prosper or languish, but we do know that whatever industry or energy, discretion or wisdom, we put Into them win bear results. We can not tell certainly whether uninterrupted health and peace will reign in our households, but we know that It will depend largely upon our obedience to the laws of the body and our faithful and loving care of and influence over those near and dear to us. We do not know the detail of our social life, what friends we may lose or gain, yet we know that faithfulness, loyalty, and unselfishness on our part will ensure to us pure and happy soda! relations.
