WASHINGTON. Dec. 8. The cur
rent excitement about the house sub
committee tax plan la unnecessary.
That nlan represents only the views
of two or three members ot the house
who made a study ot the problem.
The treasury department had noth
ing to do with the report. It la
the authority which will make the
official recommendations on taxes.
Ita recommendations will be substan
tially more moderate.
The aub-commltteo plan succeeded
In getting front page publicity, which
was one of lta primary objecta. It
will serve the good purpose of arous
ing discussion about tax loopholes.
Program
The men who are performing the
real task: of writlrg a new tax law
at the treasury -are NOT concerned
with further revenues. Indeed, they
may recommend a small reduction
In the nuisance taxes. -
Their primary purpose now Is to
plug the loopholes through which
the rich have been wriggling out of
their Just taxes. They do not In
tend to black-jack every honest man
in' the country who happens to have
a dollar.
i They are thinking In terma of three
steps: (1) A liquor tax law to be
passed separately before Januar 15:
(3) an administrative correction bill
to oaten the big evadera to be p.iased
later In the coming session; (8) an
ultimate complete reform of the en
tire federal taxing system which may
not even be proposed for six months
or a year.
Honest taxpayere have nothing to
worry about In that.
Situation
The tax rates we have no Just
about reach the end of the rope. The
burden la far .heavier on everyone
than it was in war times. Rates can
not be Jacked up much higher with
out arousing a tax revolt. Also there
la a question whether higher rates
would bring any more revenue. Peo
ple usually resist excessive taxes In
their own quiet way by not paying
them.
What is needed la an Intelligent
study of the whole federal taxing
system to develop ' a new scheme so
Vie treasury can have the money It
needs with a minimum burden on
the people.
That la the new tax deal Mr. Roose
velt will spring within the next
year.
Friendship
One thing behind the National City
hank's surrender on the Jesse Jones
capital stock plan la the fact that
Jamea Perkins, the president of that
bank, la one of Mr. Roosevelt's very
close friends.
Those wjio ahould know say Per
kins la as near to the White House
as any man in the New York finan
cial district.
They recall that Just a few days
before Charles Mitchell was shown
the exit door, Mr. Perkins had a quiet
talk with Mr. Roosevelt here.
Troubles
What surprised the Insiders was
the absence of the Rocketeller-con-trolled
Chase National bank from
the original list of New York banks
which were co-opcratlng. That bank
also has been In Rood standing with
the administration.
As a matter of fact, the co-operating
list, as published, was some
what padded. National City and one
or two banka which acted earlier
were the only ones to swallow the
Jones medicine IOO per cent. The
others merely offered to take gov
ernment money on notes without let
ting the government become a stock
holder. Jones' troubles are not yet
over.
Ketlctuitlfm .-
The exfxtus from the treasury de
1 partment will be resumed shortly.
Next to go probably will be Thomas
Hewes. who goes by the title of as
sistant In charge of fiscal offices.
His title haa been superseded by In
stallation of a Morcenthau pal.
rle Balllle, AS ASTISTANT IN
CHARGE OF FISCAL AFFAIRS.
Hewe will be Joined In his march
to the door by several of Trcaiur
Secretary Woodln's friends.
When that time comes the pre
tense that Woodln Is still treasury
secretary will probably be abandon
ed. Morgenthau will then get the
secretarial title to the office he now
holds.

One and Half Per Cent On

" SALEM, Dec. 8. P) The new sales
tax proposal, one and one-half per
cent on sales of tangible persona1,
property and on gross earnings of
utilities, pashed Its first hurdle to
day when the house of the Oregon
legislature approved It by a 39 to 21
vote. The revenue from the tax would
be used exclusively for public schools.
The measure, which now goes to
the senate, was argued all morning
and the vote taken during the noon
hour. Prank Lonergan. speaker of
the house at the 1931 session, closed
the debate for the proponents with
perhaps one of the best speeches made
In the house of representatives In
some time. .
Only Plan Possible.
Lonergan declared the only revenue
raising measure at all possible was
the sales tax. that It waa the most
benericial to the farmers and hold
ers of real property, and that in order
to save the educational advantages
in Oregon, It waa Imperative. De

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 8 (IP) An
echo of the action of Governor James
Rolph, Jr.. In giving his official ap
proval of the San Jose lynchings was
heard today In a bitter fight within
the Los Angelea Lawyers' club which
at one time was on record as demand
ing the Impeachment of the state ex
ecutive. After voting 19 to 12 on a resolu
tion demanding the Impeachment, the
club, with charges of "politics" being
hurled by both factions, voted to re
consider the question and submit it
by mall to all members. The vote of
reconsideration, urged on the ground
that insufficient time had been given
for discussion of the question passed
by a narrow margin.
Meanwhile, Governor Rolph remain
ed silent on the rebuke given him by
President Roosevelt, who, without
naming the California governor, de
clared that lynching waa "a vile form
of collective murder."

General Johnson told members of

He scoffed at the criticism that
the government had been "dictato

"Every code came by agreement,"
he said. "T,he agreements came
through a long and painful process,
but they came by common consent
and not by any federal dictum."
He urged the manufacturers to "do
your own thinking," and said that
criticism from political groups op

7. Well, sir, from what I can
read and heHr today folks stood
the. shock of getting a drink
(without giving their name) in
mighty good shape.
Course the ones that re
clear "out" wo won't hear of
for days, hut it looked like
everything went off hetler than
expected.
You sec the whole prohlera is
getting people from had drinks
back onto good drinks. You
tako a good bucking horse
rider, he would rather ride a
bad horse than a nice gentle
one. So it's going to tkc time
to get 'cm to having a sociable
drink without watching the
door.
