NEW YORK, Jan. 87. The big

as they were when they made thetr

agreed that,

PAUL MALLON
hot political campaign are now seen
more clearly than a few weeks
earlier. Many businesses and busi
ness men will be under fire and
firing. More federal taxation require
ments also have arisen lately.
This means only one thing. In
dustry has had to be wary In
spending lta safety reserves for ex
pansion since the depression. It has
not yet relaxed lta caution.
The men here who make the mar
ket for government bonda (In a
way) are not at all perturbed about
the 1936 prospects, but are Increas
ingly apprehensive about the end
of It all In the future.
They know the treasury will have
to do a lot more new financing
this year than last. It raised about
l.eoo,000,000 of new money last
year. The bonus alone will require
more than that thle year.
Tet the treasury Is still In ft posi
tion to Just about write lta own
ticket (with ..reservations) . on fi

Washington viewpoint.

SALEM, J.n. 27. (AP) Governor

the salea tux referendum, designed
to match federal f unda for old age

Declaring himself wholeheartedly
for the support of the tax measure,

however, call the legislature back
Into a special session should the
people of the state reject the meas
ure at Frlday'a election.
"I have no fondness for a salea
tax and for any oadlnary purpose
would not support It. But we are
confronted by a serious human con
dition and I cannot Join with those
who would sacrifice the aged In
their necessity for the sake of main
taining etubbornly an economic
theory," the executive said.
"Therefore, I support thla salea
tax wholeheartedly, not because It la
a aalea tax, but because It Is vitally
necessary ...
'. "I would be much distressed If the
people of this state should reject
the proposed tax measure . . The
legislature, at lta speclsl session, on
lta own Initiative, gave thla ques
tion the most thoughtful considera
tion and could find no other meana
to raise the necessary revenue for
old age assistance.
"The Greek are at our gates.'
I, appeal to all the people of our
beloved atate to perform their patri
otic duty In the present emergency
by voting for the salea tax for old
age assistance Let us not leave the
old folks In want."
In his lengthy statement the gov
ernor reviewed the effort to obtain
funds to match federal money In
various other ways, stating that no
other form of taxation could be de
vised to raise the money than the
one-half of one per cent to two
per cent ayatem, aa outlined In the
