SEARCH FOR NEW
Word From Albany Nips
Plan to Legislate Levy
On Manufacturers Still
Hopeful Balancing Budget
WASHINGTON, Dec. 38 (AP4 One
word from Albany had turned the
minds of democratic leaders away
from a general sales tax today and
set them searching for new sources
of revenue, still hopeful they might
find a way to balance the budget In
1934.
The report that President-elect
Roosevelt was "horrified" at reports
that he had Indorsed a general Bales
tax was Interpreted by Speaker Gar
ner and Chairman Collier of the house
ways and means committee as virtu
ally killing the sales tax proposal
at this session.
Revenue Bill Delay Seen
Representative Ralney of Illinois,
the democratic leader, said;
"I don't think there will be a gen
eral revenue bill passed at this ses
sion. We'll probably continue the
federal gasoline tax for another year.
It expires on June 30."
Collier announced postponement of
the meeting of the ways and means
committee called to survey the fiscal
affairs of the federal government,
from January 3, to January 4.
"We will survey the whole matter
in executive session and will cast
about for other sources of revenue,"
Collier said.
He added he had not discussed the
revenue situation with" President-elect
Roosevelt, although tome dispatches
had "Indicated I was speaking for
htm."
" Has License Tax Plan
Tne Misslsslpplan said he would
submit to the .ways and means com-
mittetf "propofiltiDn prevtousry1sjrf-rdurlng
sored by Representative McKeown,
(D., Okla.), to levy a privilege or li
cense tax of one per cent on business
done by chain stores, and similar
Interest businesses. He estimated it
would return $600,000,000 a year.
Meanwhile, Representative Britten
(R., 111.), la a formal statement said:
"The first great disappointment of
the American people over the election
of a democratic president occurred
this morning when It was broadcast
throughout the nation that President
elect Roosevelt was opposed to the

AFFLICTED FAMILY
A father afflicted with cancer, a
mother with a painful goiter, and
their four children, three boya and
a little girl aged three, are among
Medfords' little colony of tent folk
who are finding the winds of winter
and a depression diet something
more than courage alone can con
quer, a trip to the south end of
town revealed to three vlsltora yes
terday. Huddled together over a worn-out
heating atove, which the Red Cross
hsd already replaced with a better
one this afternoon, the family of six
extended a cordial greeting to gueata
as a cold wind tugged at the tent
ropes, coming m with an occasional
flurry through the many patches,
which dot the top In uneven pattern,
displaying the effort of the young
mother to make the most of what
has been given her.
"I traded a canary for this tent,"
she explained, "but It'a Impossible to
stop it leaking. We used to live In
the other tents," she pointed to two
even more worn, pitched a ahort dia
tanoft iw&7 on the same flat. but
that awnniy coia weather
had to move In here.'
Just back of the atove, filling the
greater portion of the tent, two beds,
one flat on the floor, have been ar
ranged. Upon them, for lack of
other space, children and parents
play, lounge and work, then sleep
when giht oomes.
In a neighboring tent, unfloored
and without aiding, on an even more
dilapidated store, the mother pre
pares food for the six and washes
clothes. She did not complain yes
terday except of the atove, In which
she finds It Impossible to bske, and
of her tent home, which Is far from
dry and In which she la afraid her
children will become unhealthy.
She also spoke of a need for milk
and clothing, which was supplied to
day aa soon aa Mtss Lillian Roberts
of the Red Cross was notified. A
shelter and a cook atove, however, the
Red Crou Is unable to supply, funds
being entirely Inadequate, and a call
for aid la being Issued to tne puDiic,
in the belief thet this case consti
tutes an emergency In view of the
111 health of the parent, who are
robbed of Jobs by something far more
discouraging than depression.
Any kind of building with floor and
roof. It la believed, would rurnlan
the six with more comfortable and
healthier quarters for the winter.
One boy, who has completed the
eighth grade, la out of school, search
ing for some kind of work to bring
a little money Into tne family eoi
fere. He Is strong and capable, but
without a Job. A younger boy la In
grade achool and one still younger
will enter school with opening of
the second term, now that the neces
sary clothing has been provided. The
little girl, aired three, completes the
family. Each waa dressed In olean
but inadequate clothing yesterday,
and voiced appreciation of the Chrlst-
mee gifts brought to them by sympa
