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

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

But he knocked gentle once again.
"I'd like to ask him a lot of ques

"Well, don't ask him If he ever

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.

"I shall devote my attention to

spare time I may have will be given
to a study of the parole system and
proposed legislation that will Im

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

standing star, of course, is Mr. Ickcs

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

come to the attention of Mr. Mor

Mr. Olavis seemed to be a little too
