Plans for The president's national economic council, now In prog ress of formation, consisting of leaders in industry, labor and finance, endeavoring to cooperate with the government in solving the problems of the recession, have recommended a program, which temporarily at least, is endorsed by Mr. Roos evelt. Its recommendations, together with comments by the president, included: 1. Stimulate the flow of private capital by modifying: the undistribut ed profit and capital gain taxes (which congress la already working on) and by giving Investors "reaaiurance as to the direction reform la to take." The president urged new machinery for telling securities to mall Inventors. 3. Make pece with the utllltle by ellmlnllng fear of government competition and eliminating abuses without crippling the whole Indus try. Mr. Roosevelt replied hi quarrel was with only IS per cent of the utility Industry. 3. Do not cheaDen the dollar or This supposedly was approval by the president in giving general approval to the whole council statement. 1 4. Limit the campaign for elimination of holding companies to the unnecessary and undesirable ones, not all of them. The president said some holding companies are necessary for mass efficiency and are In the public Interest. 5. Modernize the anU-trust laws but legalise the desirable type of co operation which was part of NRA. The president generally agreed. S. Postpone wage; and hour legislation for further study of methods of accomplishing this purpose by the business and labor leaders who have experience on the question through NRA work. Mr. Roosevelt approved the study Idea but said he hoped it would not prevent legislation at the current session of congress. 7. Make labor assume the responsibility that goes with privileges. The president said he favored getting unions, by general consent instead of by . law, to make public their Income and The greatest obstacle to recovery is the president himself for no sooner does business adjust itself to an announced program than a new one is put forth that gives the public the jitters and breeds a lack of confidence that discourages enterprise and sends capital into hiding. It is not the press that creates the psychology of fear but Mr. Roosevelt him self. Business has Bhown a willingness to cooperate with the administration but there has been little cooperation on the administration's part and this lack of confidence accounts for the present depression in the United States when the rest of the world is fairly prosperous. The Largest- Stamp Collector It will interest stamp and the late Colonel Edward H. R. ureen, who inherited her thrift the largest stamp and coin stamps are assessed for tax coins at $1,240,299, his collection of jewelry is valued at f If 846,664. He left a gross estate of over S40.000.000. The stamp collection is cartons and packages. The coin collection constitutes the fin est assemblage of gold coins now extant, with Daoer cur rency valued at $237,681 and other currency at face value, . $620,436. Colonel Green who died in June 1936, had never paid a personal income tax anywhere and kept moving from state to state to avoid paying one. So all the states where he occasion ally resided, are after inheritance taxes on his estate. New .York claims a $6,000,000 inheritance tax, Florida, Massa chusetts and Texas are each seeking $5,000,000 exclusive of . deductions that might be made for non-resident taxes as ' eessed elsewhere. Suits for collection are pending in the United States supreme court, and attachments have been placed on his collections. The moral perhaps is that though you may evade the tax collectors in life, they will get you after death and quadruple me aiuuuiib ettvea oy evasion. Printers' $trik The strike called Saturday J,, x uivianu newspapers was cailea on inursaay evening by the acceptance by the printers of the terms of the pub lishers that they had previously rejected.

Langille stated he would bring over a map later to show the specific lands to be Involved in event the court gave the matter Its favorable attention. Commissioner Melson brought up the fact that when the county some years ago extended its options to the government on the land it fixed its price way down low. In fact at a dollar an acre on some lands that have a taxable value of possibly $10 an acre. This was done," aaid the com missioner, "because we realised the value of having these cutover lands placed in a protected fire area and watershed to develop a project which would restore the Umber and the watershed.

Prosperous Era Seen by Martin Calling on southwest Oregonlans to develop their mining and fish ing Industries and their tourist trade, Oovernor Martin today foresaw an "era of prosperity" for this region provided the state conquers its labor problems. In an address prepared for delivery at a civic luncheon In his honor, the governor said "we must all work for restoration of industrial peace and the restoration of confidence between employer and employe. After all, both employers and employes are workers and are entitled to work. He said Oregon might become a "great Iron and steel producing state" by bringing Coos Bay coal and Co lumbia county Iron ore together, and urged a movement to obtain lower freight rates to Eugene for south- : west Oregon coat I The governor urged development of the district's commercial fisheries and appealed for support of the fish commission's acUvitles in promoting this Industry. Pointing out that tourists left $20.. 000,000 In Oregon last year, he said southwest Oregon should develop its playgrounds and scenic attractions to attract more tourists.

Jan. 21 OUmpses of "the spy adventures of Honest Har old Ickes and his Hawkshaws," cur ently being shown. before the senate c om m i t tee are just the trailer of that movie. The show will come next week or never. Senatorial crit ics who have had slightly more of a preview than has yet been shown say It is excellent comedy - tragedy pan! aUUosi based on life In the Interior depart ment, which Is aald to be the height of adventure. Cast is only average with the chief sleuth and wiretapper Mr. Olavis doing the narration with far less sincerity and gusto than Is usual in such roles, i Frankly he dis appointed the senators, by not tell ing very much In the preview for some reason of other). But all liked Mr. Burlew In the role of the mis understood man, and he will un doubtedly be confirmed eventually for assistant Interior secretary. Out standing star, of course, is Mr. Ickcs as an adventuresome cabinet farceur who apparently became so mixed up in his spying and wire tapping that In the end he seems to have spied on himself and tapped his own wire. Oomedy Climax Picture depends more on story, however, than on cast. Plot has all the blood and thunder of a great detective comedy, yet is not devoid of love interest. There Is even sup posed to be a red-haired woman In it somewhere. Comedy climax has already been partly disclosed In preview showing Messrs. Ickes, Burlew and Olavis with 600 or 700 spies in their employ, who, under their very noses, created and maintained a fictitious govern ment bureau and got away with $80,000 from the treasury of the United States. Preview evidence Indicates the al leged embezzler gave his imaginary employes a 15 percent salary cut when the other government em ployes got theirs, gave his salaried ghosts sick leave, even shifted them to higher civil service grades and raised Individual salaries. Only mis take he made was to raise two of them Into the Income tax paying class whereupon they may have come to the attention of Mr. Mor genthau's treasury spies from whose clutches not even the guiltless es cape. If you can think of a better one than this you should be writing for tne movies or working in the inter lor department. Soft Pedalled Preview, however, lacked punch In many respects. It was not only that Mr. Olavis seemed to be a little too clever for the senators, but not all the senators were as clever as usual In, asking questions. They were held back for one thing by the fact that they were not authorised to investi gate the interior department, but only Mr. Burlew s qualifications, Furthermore, the senators are from western states and their pet pro jects are handled by Ickes. Even now the interior reclamation bureau has charge of a possible $44,000,000 pro ject, known aa the Colorado Big Thompson, in the home state of sen ate committee chairman Adams. (About $900,000 has been appropriat ed to start It, but expected Irriga tion and power development Is to cost $44,000,000 in the end). Senators, for these and many oth er reasons, believe that If an Inter ior department Investigation Is to be undertaken It should be author- lzed by a specific senate resolution. appointing a new special senate committee. Wire Tapping Some negotiations about cutting the pre-vlew are supposed to have been undertaken by the leading character, Mr. Ickes. with senate floor leader Barkley, within the past few days. However, senator Bark- ley felt he did not have charge of the cutting room. It seems that Vice President Qamer and President Pro- Tempore Plttman of the senate do not like Hawkshaw Harold's acting veiry much, but are Interested In the plot, want to hear It all and art not Inclined to stop a main-show special Investigation later It la quite possible that Mr. Ickes himself will demand an investiga tion to clear away such stories as the Dr. Chan Lam Chines Medicine Co.
