Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
A BUSINESS man who travels
much between the East and the
West aald the other day to this
writer:
"For the past two years, It has
seemed to me that business has been
consistently better on the Paclllc
than the Atlantic coast; but on my
last trip to the East, only a lew
weeks ago, business appeared to me
to be a little better back there."
YOU will draw your own conclu
sions, ol course from that state
ment; but you will probably recall
the old theory that both good times
and bad times start In the East and
travel slowly westward until they
reach the Paclllc Coast. .
"A
LITTLE while back," a travel
ing man told this writer the
ether day, "I heard a fellow say
wishfully In a crowd: 'Wouldn't it be
nice to get back to tne good old
days?' "
"I said: 'What good old days the
nineties?' and he answered: 'Yes.' I
told him: 'You are back In the good
old days; we're living now on about
the same scale as in the 'nineties,
and we call It HARD TIMES.'"
THE early 'nineties, of course, were
pretty dull, one of the major de
pressions being then under way; but
the late 'nineties were regarded as
pretty good times.
Our average Bcale of living is prob
ably as good now as the average scale
of living in the late 'nineties. But
we are acutely depressed and are sure
we are having a TERRIBLE TIME.. .
Our standards change, don't they?
HALF a dozen men were discussing
the state of business, as men
will", the" other day, and what they
were saying wasn't exactly compli
mentary. One remarked: . .
"Wages have got to come down,
and AWAY down, before business can
Improve."
That man, you see, was old-fashioned.
He was looking back to the
good old days.
ANOTHER one spoke up:
"Yes?" he ssid; "and If wages
go AWAY down, where will the mon
ey come from with which to buy the
things that must be bought If In
dustry la to be kept moving st a
ispld pace?"
This man, you see, Is a modern
thinker.
AS YOU may .have heard. If you are
& good listener, business Is de
pressed. On every hand there are
surpluses. There Is more food than
people can BUY and eat. There is
more clothing than people can BUY
and wear. There are more automo
biles than people can BUY and drive.
Before business can be good again,
we must eat the surplus of food. We
must wear the surplus of clothes.
We must acquire and drive the aur
plua of automobiles. And so on.
Here Is a puzzling question: If
wages are to be kept down at the
bare level of existence, so that all
people can buy is enough o keep
body and bouI together, how are we
going to consume these surpluses
that plague us? 1
npHE best thought of the present
day runa something like this:
The capacity of human beings to
consume the products of lsbor Is lim
ited only by their capacity to BUY
these products and pay for them. So
If we can make It possible for people
to buy and pay for the things they
WANT there will be no such thing
as ft surplus and business csn go
forward at a steady pace, providing
employment for everyone.
.4
HOW can we make It possible for
people to buy and pay for the
things they want?
This writer confesses frankly that
he can't answer that question. If
you can answer It Intelligently, and
can prove that your answer will work,
you win perform ft service to humsn
Ity that will be of Inestimable value.
But Oils much, at least, CAN be
said: Paying starvation war's WONT
make It possible for people to buy
and pay for the things they want In
sufficient volume to keep industry
moving at a pace that wui provide
employment for everybody.

LEFT INTACT FOR
SENAO ACTION
Measure Carrying Increase
in Postal Rate, Tax On
Stock Deals, Autos, Realty
Sales Voted 327 to 64
WASHINGTON, April 1. (AP)
The House today passed and
sent to the senate the new reve
nue bill. The vote on final
passage was 327 to 64. The hill
is designed to balance the bud
get of 1933.
Final action came after three
beetle weeks In which the house
ran wild for seven days and
' booted out the general sales tax.
It then floundered around for a
substitute for the 9600,000,00
Item, In the meantime approv
ing taxes designed to strike the
wealthy and fix sales levies on
selected Industries.
WASHINGTON, April 1. (AP) By
a vote of 211 to 178, the house today
struck from the revenue bill the
Swing amendment to impose war time
surtaxes on high Incomes.
The-Item was calculated to bring in
$17,000,000 of income.
- The vote came after the house had
refused again to incorporate a gen
eral sales tax in the bill.
Without a record vote, It retained
the Mamseyer amendment calling for
a 45 per cent levy on estates.
The action on the surtax amend
ment, the second of a series prelimi
nary to passage of the new revenue
bill returned -to the bill a ways and
means committee proposal for a 40
per cent maximum tax on incomes
over $100,000.
The Swing, amendment,, adopted
last week, by an overwhelming vote,
would have placed a maximum surtax
rate of 65 per cent on Incomes in
excess of $5,000,000.
It was effective on incomes over
$100,000 on a graduated scale.
By reversing itself the house struck
$17,000,000 off the total of It bill.
.In so. reversing Itself the- house
again sustained the ways and means
committee.
By 204 to 188, the house voted to
retain In the bill the oil and coal
Import taxes, thus automatically sus
taining levies on wort, grape concen
trates, malt and malt syrup.
The
revenue amounts to $85,000,000.

President Hoover today urged abolish

the death of E. C. Plummer would

The president said he would post

congress would pass necessary legisla

reorganization in a recent mesh age
to congress.
"The shipping board In its present
form should be abolished," Mr. Hoov

He explained It was a criticism of
the present arrangement for handling
shipping activities, pointing out the

WASHINGTON. April 1. (API
The pains of Internal strife are
growing appreciably keener for both
of the parties, aa presidential poli
tics crosses the threshold of April-
In three Important respects, the
past week haa contributed signifi
cantly to these troubles:
Abandoning the conciliatory de

porters of Franklin D. Roosevelt
have begun to press mercllrisly to
ward consummation of his campaign
for the Democratic nomination.
Hoover Foes Plan.
The Republican opponents of Presi
dent Hoover have laid down a pol
icy of standing aside for the present,
giving him a renomlnatlon without
substantial oppoaition, and then If
an opportunity presents Itself, lead
ing a bolt from the ticket.
In both parties there haa developed
a growing reallwitlon of the deadly
earncstneas of the prohibition or
ganizations in their threat to with
draw support from any candidate
who accepts a moist plank.
All of these developments further
confirm forecast of a campaign of
groat bltternesa, in which party lines
may come to mean very little.
Tnlks New Parties,
Talk of a third party and ven
fourth party has been revived, and
although such talk usually cornea
to nothing In the end, the politicians
urn listening and watching.
The RoosevoU drive captured two
more states during the week. Iowa
and Maine. A last-minute decision
to press for Instructions In the
closely-divided Maine convention
caused much surprise. Evidently
the Roosevelt leaders, encouraged
by a succession of victories and
aware of the driving determination
of the stop -Roosevelt movement,
now are prepared to force ahead
