Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
THE opinion 1 growing In th
senate, we read, that some lorm
of aale tax must be adopted If the
budget la to be balanced.
If that Is true, we shall hear a
great deal more about the salea tax
In the next few weeks.
For the budget MUST be balanced.
"B
ALANCINO the budget." as has
been often explained In this
column, means raising as mueh
money In taxes as the government
Is spending.
That Isn't being done now. The
government of the United States Is
running behind at the rate of bet
ter than two billion dollars a year.
That means ruin If It goes on In
definitely. Governments, just like Individuals,
must take In aa much as they spend
or OO BROKE.
WHAT Is a sales tax?
Well, we have one here In Ore
gon. H Is known as the gasoline
tax. Every time you buy a gallon
of gasoline, you pay a tax of four
cents.
It Is probably the least protested
tax we have.
IP you use so average of ten gal
lons of gasoline a week, you pay
an annual sales tax of around 30
a year. Because you pay It a little
at a time, you don't notice It. If
you had to put up the twenty dol
lars ALL AT ONCE, It would seem
a terrible burden.
There are sound objections, of
course, to painless taxes. When tax
money comes too easily, the tempta
tion to spend too much of It is
strong.
But In the present emergency,
w,hlch Is a REAL emergency, the need
to raise enough money to enable
the government to pay Its bills Is
so great that we can't afford to be
too particular.
IP the budget" Isn't balanced, the
value of our money will decline,
as It did during and Immediately
following the Civil War. Because
people fear that will happen, there
Is lack of business confidence. As
long as confidence In the future Is
lacking, business CAN'T IMPROVE.
That Is why this question of bal
ancing the budget, of which you are
reading so much in the papers, Is so
Important.
MAYOR Jimmy Walker's personal
accountant deposits 1700.335 In
banks and brokerage houses In the
eouree of five years.
Where did the money come from?
Who spent It when It was spent?
No definite and provable answer
to those questions can yet be given.
But, knowing Tammany methods
and Tammany Ideals, we have our
suspicions.
Still, the people of New York, who
pay the bills, seem to like It, for they
keep Tammany men In office year
In and year out.
IP you read the papers carefully
you noted a little Item the other
day relating that the skeleton of a
man nine feet tall haa been unearth
ed near Tonopaft, Nev.
That brings up the tradition of
tall, red-headed men who lived In
the Tule lake country, down below
the line In Northeastern California,
before the Indians came.
As Indicating a weakness in this
story, It was pointed,, out In this
column the other day that no skele
tons of these tsll men have been
found.
HERE Is the skeleton, and Tono
pah Isn't so fsr from the Tule
lske country, where mysterious rock
carvings resembling not at all the
picture writings of the Indlens are
to be found.
Scientific men who know about
these things ought to find a lot to
Interest them In this Southern Ore

GARNER HITS BACK
AT CONDEMNATION
OF RELIEF PL
Hoover's Opposition to Pub
lic Building Expected Says
Democrat Cites Cam
paign Speeches of 1928
WASHINGTON May 38. (AP)
Speaker Garner slspped back today
with a stinging thrust at President
Hoover and proceeded with plans
for speeding his relief bill through
the hpuse.
To the president's charge tne
public works phase of the speaker's
two billion dollar relief bill was
pork barrel" legislation. Garner re
plied the same appellation might
be applied to the reconstruction cor
poration, for which non-partisan
support was elicited by Mr. Hoover.
The Texan said the tax he pro
posed on gasoline would prevent the
publlo work from Interfering with
balancing the budget.
Opposition Expected.
"President Hoover's opposition to
the bill to relieve destitution, to
broaden the lending powers of the
reconstruction finance corporation
and to create employment by au
thorizing and expediting a public
works program was not unexpected."
Garner said.
The Democrats did not expect
to receive real co-operatton from
the president In any matter benefit
ting the masses and those who might
be termed the middle class of Ameri
can people."
Garner said the reconstruction
finance "corporation act, sponsored
by the president, could logically be
referred to is a "pork barrel" fot
the banks, Insurance companies, rail
roads and financial Institutions, If
the appelatton were applied to his
public works program.
The speaker added that Mr. Hoo
ver's campaign speeches In 1838
urging a billion dollar building pro
gram, "Illustrate the utter Incon
sistency of the president's present
attitude."
Garner Issued his statement shortly
after Majority Leader Ralney made
public a summary of the revised bill
which Increased the total from
3,146.874,468 to 13,309,084,337 or by
$163,309,809.

SALES TAX CENTER
TAX B1LLSTRUGGLE
Furious Senate Debate Is
Climaxed by Demand of
Texan for Statement
From Hoover On Stand
By Francis M. Stephenson
(Associated Fress Staff Writer)
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 28.
(AP) A raging controversy over the
sales tax focusing on President Hoo
ver and the press swept the senate
today and temporarily stalled the
billion dollar revenue bill.
The upshot of the furious debate
was a demand from Senator Con
nally (D., Tex.) for a statement by
the president on his position and
the circulation of a round robin pe
tition pledging members to vote
against the disputed levy.
Intimations reached the capital
that Mr. Hoover waa prepared to take
a hand In the tax contest and a
message from him next week waa
expected.
Harrison For Showdown
Senator Harrison, of Mississippi,
tax leader, challenged the proponents
of the aales tax for an immediate
showdown and then drew up the
round robin petition.
He claimed 34 Democrats signa
tures tonight and predicted more
than fiO of the senate a majority
would be pledged by Monday noon,
when the president's message 1a ex
pected.
Advocates of the 1.75 per cent
sales levy, sponsored by Senator
Walsh, (D., Mass.), claimed they had
a majority.
Opponents, however, pointed to re
fusal of the house to accept the
proposition and placed the blame on
proponents of the sales tax for any
delay in enactment of the revenue
bill.
Newspapers Blamed
The opponents also contended some
large newspapers were "propagandis
ing" the country for the sales levy
and denounced the president for
calling in publishers last Wednesday
night. They said it was a "covert"
movement to got at public opinion.
Senator Watson, Indiana, Republi
can leader, told the senate Secre
tary Mills estimated the pending rev
enue bill would fall short by $56,
000,000 of the el ,026,000 budget bal
ancing goal.
"How are we going to raise the
58,000,000?" asked Watson.
Harrison and Couzens (R., Mich.),
promptly endorsed the proposal of
Senator Connally (D., Texas), for a
higher income schedule as the means
of meeting the margin.

BEVERLY HILLS, May 27.
Editor The Chronicle: Bands
playinp;, soldiers marching, or
ators orating, telling it's your
duty to "buy Liberty bonds."
Fifteen years later, no bands,
no marching, no orators, just a
patriotio girl, or a broken piece
of human frame trying to sell
a "poppy" for a few cents,
made by . even a more unfor
tunate brother in one of our
fifty-five hospitals.
Given fifteen years to think
it nv, ,.. v.. rlff,nTtrl
' , '
in'in me price 01 n uioeny
bond to the price of a "pop-
vy."
There is only one sure way
of stopping war. That is to see
that every "statesman" has
the same chance to reflect af
ter it's over that these boys
making "pofpies" have had. .
