tTwenty-eiclith Year
By PAUL MALL ON
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. There was
pi ore than a. whim behind the ex
traordinary manner In- which Pro
fessor Groves of Wisconsin was offi
cially beheaded as administration
piaster mind on taxes.
Groves was hired by Treasury Sec
. retary Woodtn- to work out a federal
jtax reform program. He had riot yet
arrived at his desk when Treasury
pirector Morgenthau fired him with
out explanation and .hired Professor
Bos we U M a gill of Columbia In his
place.
The matter was hushed up effect
lively In the rush of what appeared
(to be more important business.
The underlying cause was the fact
that Professor Graves is a pal of
Senator La Follette. That would not
disqualify him, but he also Is an
advocate of redistribution of wealth
through confiscatory Inheritance
axes. He drew the La Follette tax
plan.
It is more likely than you know
tfhat the administration will get
round to something like the Groves
Ideas of taxation within the next
year. But h is appol ntment was a
. tactical blunder. It was an announce
gnent that the tax question would be
studied by a biased partisan who al
ready had a plan. After all, some
display ot open-mlndedncss rust be
Biade about such things.
The howl that went up Inside was
uproarious.
L The new man, Magill, Is a lawyer.
He is not trnde-marked with any an
nounced theories. It la assumed he
will, give the problem a more open
jnlndcd study. ;
The announcement that he Is going
only Into the technical administrative
features of taxation was designed to
puiet the frightened big taxpayers.
The truth Is that Morgenthau will
tend him after the roots of the whole
federal taxation system. Everyone
nows he will find that the present
avstem is not well balanced, that It
does not provide a proper flow of
revenue.
It will be his job to figure out a
pew system to equalize the burden
of the man on the street and afford
the government sufficient funds to
pperate efficiently.
The RFC boys have been in a hud
dle for days now trying to work out
a new Idea for commercial loans.
They want to get away from their
announced policy of lending money to
Industries through special mortgage
companies. Their Idea Is that such
a system might not be efficient.
They want to lend money directly to
1 the Industries,
That point la very Important now.
because banks are tied up against the
eapltal financing market more strictly
than Viey have ever been before. Like
wise It is necessary that the govern
ment balance lis NRA demands with
an offer of money to industries which
want capital financing.
The big question Is to find a legal
axcuse for making direct government
Joans. It may be to confine the loans
to moderately long-term periods.
Any step In that direction means
further, government Invasion of the
banking business.
A chain letter attack on the ad
ministration money policy has been
started secretly by several bankers 'n
the larger cities.
They are writing their friends to
write other friends pointing out the
evils of easy money.
This campaign may prove Just as
Effective as the open barrage being
conducted by the Sprague-Smlth-Baruch-Warburg
boys and the activ
ities of the United States Chamber
of Commerce.
They have a good chance of arous
ing a large section or the populace
by the time congress meets In Janu
ary. Their Job Is obviously to reform
the conservative ranks, w.hlch for
merly constituted a majority of vot
ars. But wh.it Influence that will have
en congress Is another matter. The
antf-lnflatlonlsts are sparsely repre
sented on Capitol Hill.
The old line about letting George
do it Is beino, revised by Mr. Room
;rclt to "let Henry do It.'
The prenldent Intended to make
Hnry Morgenthau ctsr of the dis
tilling kingdom In addition to his
other duties. Morgenthau heard about
It and ran to Louis Howe in an effort
to stop the announcement.
Howe called Warm Sprlnes on the
telephone and saved the treasury di
rector from thAt ob.
The way the Morrenthau newi re
strictions are working out Is not at
all ratlfactory to newsmen. It has
had the efrect of sealing all lips In
the treasury department.
Even the business scents of firms
dealing with the government are
Co:nptaining that the treasury offi
cials are so frightened they dare not
pn fc'ieir mouths.
The result is a ridiculous amount
Of red tape- It take so murh. longT

Vote Dunn Tells of Need
SALEM, Dec. l.(jp Relief of Jack
son county officials from penalties
under the existing law for exceeding
budget allowance and creating a deficit
of nearly $33,000 was granted by the
senate today without a dissenting
vote.
The bill, applying to the coinuy
alone for this year, was introduced
by the county delegation and ex
plained by Senator Dunn.
Due to the unusual criminal prose

who are held personally responsible.
It is unjust to hold these men re
sponsible. Senator Dunn declared.
The Jackson oounty budget Includ
ed for county court expenditures the
amount of 96430 with expenditures of
29.108.68 until the last of October
with two more months to go, a deficit
of 920,000. The county clerk's office
at the same date was 92.23 "in the
red" and the sheriff's office 9384.83.
Demand was made for a special
audit which cost an additional $2050
and which revealed the clerk's ac
counts 25 cents off and the sheriff's
50 cents. Overdrafts on October 31
aggregated 932,924.45, Senator Dunn
pointed out.
The above measure protects the
county court from political "bush
whacking" in the future, and one
of the steps necessary to straighten
out the tangled conditions arising
from the Fehl -Banks regime. It also
wipes out any technicality that might

Condemning the two senate bills,
Noe. 47 and 48, as a move to subject
all classes of business to the will of
the railroad In regard to transporta
tion, aeorge a. Barton, vlcs-chairmsn
of the State council of Commercial
Vehicle Owners, returned from Salem
last night.
The two bills, Introduced on No
vember 37. Mr. Barton stated, will
force all trailers from the highways
and limit the length of vehicles and
loads to certain limitations, which
will "virtually wipe out sll motor
transportation service on a large
scale."
These, combined with chapter 423
of Oregon laws for 1933. will preclude
transportation of freight by motor
vehicle, he added, stating that the
situation as reflected upon the Rogue
River valley would leave the people
at the mercy of the railroads, who
would as a result be In a position to
charge higher 'freight rates.
The attention of all truck owners
and business men, Mr. Barton declar
ed, Is called to those two bills and
chapter 429, In an attempt to obtain
cooperation In fighting the bills.
The State Council of Commercial
Vehicle Owners, with hearquarters at
the Senator hotel in Salem, has been
organised and Is now strongly In
trenched in endeavoring to bring hs
fore the public the seriousness of the
motor transport situation, already
having held two public hearings be
fore the house and senate, with both
sides of the issue represented.
The State Grange and Farmers'
Union representatives w.'thdrew from

SCOT! SLAPS AT
THOSE 10 RAID
F
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec, 1, (AP)
Sharp criticism of what he desrrlbed
as raids on the state highway fund,
was made here last night by Leslie
M. Scott, chairman of the state high
way commission.
"Raiding the state highway fund
Is a pet sport of local groups whlcvh
seek benoflts for themselves at the
expense of the statewide Interest,
Chairman Scott declared.
He added: "Raids on the highway
revenues will profit the local groups
gaining them, but will deplete the
statewide funds. Cities are obtain
ing PWA funds aa never before and
nhould not raid the state highway
budget."
Scott criticized especially the for
mulation of legislative bills which
would require the state highway com
mission to purchase i Ights of way
through cities, to take over certain
roads, or to refund gasoline taxes to
cities.
"One of these raids," he declared,
"Is the bill to refund gas tax to
cities and school districts for the
benefit of Portland chiefly, Another
Is to 'authorize' the highway com
mission to buy right of way through
cities. Local pressure after this bill
becomes a law will convert 'author
lze' to 'compel.' Other raids seek to
require the highway commission to
tako over thla road or: that, to as
nttme a district deht, to obtain a
special concession as to fees or li
censes or permits.
"The highway commission." he
continued, "la confronted with such
schemes all the time and has to say
no in order to protect the public
against self-seeking groups.
'The highway funds are so closely
bulge ted and obligated that diver
sions will make deficits and Increase
the debt." ,
