( I A I CM ITU NClPP Ml J1TH111 llIiTljll WAS A PARTY TO NEW DEAL MOVE By Herbert l'lummer WASHINGTON The tumult and the shouting that followed Al Smith's attack on President Roosevelt's mon etary policy have not yet died down, but as the politically wise try to de termine Its ultimate effect, at least one thing stands out. It is that, in any event, the 1028 Democratic! standard bearer did not "split" with the administration. He never was a party to any of the "new deal" processes. The political aspects of the inci dent rather than the attack itself seem to Interest Washington ob servers the most. 'I Roosevelt and Smith are regard- i mmerallv n the turn most lmDor-: tant member, of the Democratic par-: . ., ,. , . . ' ty, both from the standpoints of per sonal following and prominence. The 1828 Democratic nominee for president did not mince words in his attack. His references to "ba loney dollars" and "inexperienced young college professors who hold no responsible publio office, but are perfectly ready to turn 130,000,000 Americans Into guinea pigs for ex perimentation," choed eastern antl inflationist Democrats. Looking South ami West Roosevelt's monetary policy is be ing pursued under the authority granted him by the Thomas Inflation amendment to the farm, relief meas ure passed in the special session of congress. This amendment got through con gress by votes from the south and west, strongholds of Inflation, They have been shouting for more infla tion out there where Smith was least popular In 1028 and so here' is a combination which some believe may bolster lagging support of the "controlled currency" program. . Since he became (president, Mi. ! Roosevelt has made repeated efforts to keep progressive Republicans of the west In the Democratic fold. His cabinet selections and numerous other moves clearly have Indicated this purpose. ; The Two Big "Ifs" It must be remembered the battle over money Is Just beginning and i will gather momentum as it prog resses. If the east goes "Smith" and the west goes "Roosevelt" on tho. money question It may be necessary '- to await the congressional elections of next Noxembor to arrive at any thing like a correct answer to the significance of the Happy; War rior's public denunciation ot the Khlte House program.

CENTRAL TAX COLLECTIONS WINS FAVOR (Continued From Page One) atlng not only double taxation of liquor but that of other commodities and articles. The Idea Is not exactly original with this administration. Its princi ple was first Invoked In estate taxes collected by the federal government, a large portion of which Is returned to the states In which the collections are made. With the growth of duplicating taxes by the federal, state, county and municipal governments, the question is being given serious consideration In both administrative and congres sional quarters. Since the federal government Is fi nancing out of Its treasury thousands of state, municipal and county proj ects, the belief Is growing here that the central government should col lect the taxes.
