SUBMITS PLANS TO ADDREVENUE (Continued from Page One.) come In should the exemption of a single man be lowered from $1,000 to $800 and that of a married man from 93,000 to 13.000. Might Boost Rate Leaving exemptions as they are now. he said, and at the same time boating the normal tax from 4 to 6 per cent, would add an estimated $131,000,000 to the government's an nual receipts. By lowering exemptions on surtaxes from $4,000 to $3,000. Hill asserted, and sharply Increasing the rates In Income brackets up to $100,000. the treasury would get an extra 226, 000,000 annually. (The normal tax as Individual In come now is 4 per cent; the surtax starts at 4 per cent and increases to 76 per cent on Incomes of $6,000,000 and over). "A combination of all these possi bilities of all Income taxes would raise $446,000,000 additional," he said. Farm Products Source Submitted by the agriculture da ps rt men t were proposed taxes on some 33 farm products and competing pro ducts, or subdivisions of products. Some eight or nine commodities and products were subject to the Invali dated processing taxes. Included in the new list were wheat, rye, flax seed, hemp, seed oil, perllla oil, barley, oats, corn, hogs, cattle and calves, sheep and lambs, paper bags, open mesh paper, rice, peanuts sugar, tobacco, starches, spirits except brandy, rayon and silk. In most Instances the rates would be lowered on thoce products which came under the AAA processing taxes. Corn, which was tied up with hogs, would be boosted from 6 to 6 cents bushel. Would Hit Windfalls Applied over two years and coupled with a proposed "windfall" tax of perhaps 00 per cent on Incomes de rived from refunds of Impounded processing taxeb, or non-payment of auch taxes, Hill said tha levies on the farm and competing products would bring in somewhere in the neighborhood of $517,000,000 which President Roosevelt suggested In tem porary taxes. These would fill In the dent cre ated In this year's federal revenues by the supreme court decisions In the AAA and rice millers' cases. Hill added that It could not be de termined what the "windfall" tax would raise, but that It might be around $100,000,000. , "It's very elusive," he said. Long Mountain LONO MOUNTAIN. March 5. (Spl.)

Beverly Hills, CaL ' W HAT MAKES A Msny young women have reduced not only to normal weight for age and height but enough more to fit the slender car icature which fashion set up as the Ideal figure a few years back. S o m e of the young women were saved by the change of mode. Others went to the tu berculosis s a n a torlum. Animal feeding experiments (ref erences to physicians who desire them) indicate that a marked defi ciency of vitamins favors the devel opmen t or progress of latent or smouldering tuberculosis foci In the body; control animals on th esame feed, supplemented with vitamins, remained more or less immune to tu berculosis even when the bacilli were Injected. Progressive clinicians now believe that deficiency or absence of essential vitamins tends to increase the destrcutlve power of bacilli. When the young women eagerly If not wise ly went on freak regimens such as the "Hollywood" diet, the "eighteen day" diet and the like, they were un knowingly changing from a vltamln poor ration to a vitamin-free ration, and hence their latent tuberculosis lighted Into activity. There are thin folk who are not only perfectly healthy but full of vigor and vitality. There are thin folk who are distinctly below par In every way. To the former class we say nothing. Anyway, they seldom need or want advice about gaining, except when circumstances make a certain increase In poundage desirable to pass some test, and. then It Is the deuce of a Job putting the additional poundage on 'em. and it goes again as soon as the test Is over, these peo ple are Just skinny, and they should and generally do make the best of It. The latter class, people who are underweight and also low In cltallty. strength, pep. amblltlon. capacity to enjoy life, and as a rule not so easy to look at aa they would be with more padding on their bones, Includes, first, the unfortunates who have got ten that way by unwise dieting: sec ond, those who are underweight pure ly from nutritional deficiency; and third, those who are physically weak by reason of pathological conditions, diseases, or excesses which sap vital ity. If you are thin but healthy, you probably don't want to do anything about it. There are advantages In be ing slender which balance the advan tages of belnir well nourished NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre HEW YORK, March 8. There was a brief mention of the passing of Char les A. Starr, a newspaperman aged 73, In the obituary columns recently. His last days were spent In a relig ious home. He was a member of the old Evening Mall staff when I began my Jour nalism In New York. Every newspa per has its Char les A. Starr. The kindly, elderly and self-effacing fellow who rare ly reaches the executive desk, yet uncomplainingly Is one of the most Indefatigable workers. Among Starr's duties was arriving at 4 a. m. to clip newa for early edition re-wrltes. He waa generally puttering about when those of us who arrived several hours later were off for a swig at Doc perry's. He saw many striplings such as Rube Ooldberg and Orant land RJce, room to great heights and no one was more proud or outspoken in their deUght than he. A churchman, he neither smoked nor drank, and slipped quietly from a group waxing ribald. He lived a life of serenity in a world that was omiAlAul confusion. Somehow I no tice thnt In meeting old Evening Mail men. they Invariably ask: "Wonder what became of old Mr. Starr?" Another venerable totterer on the Evening Mnll copy desk might have been the model for Casper Milque toast without his timldtty. An hon or graduate of a big eastern college, he seemed to have clutched at suc cess and missed. He smoked an un holy brand of "three-fer" cigars and wore a skull cap, One morning 'n reaching for his cap I anticipated him In a gesture of courtesy and before handing It over shook off a thick coating of dust. He glared and squeaked In falsetto fury: "If I need a valet I II hire one!" and never spoke to me civilly again.

If you are thin and frail you should do something about It. The first thing to do is consult a physician. You need a complete physical examination, and such special tests as your physician may deem necessary to determine what is the matter with you, whether It is an organic condition or a func tional weakness. He will then be In a position to prescribe the proper treatment, change or habit or what ever remedy your condition calls for. Some underweight persons have poor appetite. Some eat more than their friends who are normal or stout. In any- case the assimilation or util ization (metabolism) of food is Im proved by an optimal vitamin ration taken as a supplement to the regular diet. This Improved metabolism man ifests Itself In the noticeable' in crease In vitality or sense of well be ing even before the scales register a definite gain In weight. The optimal Vitamin ration must be taken a few weeks regularly before Its effects can be expected. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Old Fashioned Molasses Kindly tell me where I can pur chase unsulphured molasses. (Mrs. R. M.) Answer. Good grocers everywhere supply old fashioned molasses. Send stamped envelope bearing your ad dress and I will tell where one good brand may be obtained. Molasses without the sulphur dioxide which is in the modern product, makes a pal atable and excellent table syrup and should be freely used, especially for children.

Not pn the stage more than 30 minutes, he hiked up goose pimples to shrieks of horror in the most realistic death crumple ever seen. The other high mark was. of course. Barbara Stanwyck's few-minute role in "The Noose" which ?ent her like a shot to screen stardom. As did Robinson's brief role.

Currency Inflation prospects, there fore, are more remote than ever. The banks of the country are no longer commercial institutions, but are Investment trusts for govern ment bonds, and are resigned, for the present, to their lower standard of living. No New Deal authorities have come right out and publicly said the stock market Is too high now, but a lot of them have been hinting it aloud wherever they were certain to be overheard. (See SEC Commis sioner Land Is' congressional testi mony and stories about the federal reserve board strengthening require ments.) It Is no secret that" some key stocks are being quoted at prices hardly . Justified by their earning prospects for this year. At least all the top New Deal fiscal authorities think so. They are afraid this situa tion will build up Into a let-down before election. They would rather have the let-down now, and an other build-up Just before election. The economic ae well as the po litical thing to do apparently is for the reserve board to act now. It i customary In handling fires to use water on them before the fire get too big. But what the board men appar ently are worried about la the ob scure fact that the law permits them to Increase reserve require ments only by 50 per cent once. They are afraid they will use up their water before the fire really gets started. Supreme court Justices were a lit tle upset when they heard a rumor that they might abandon their sum mer recess to hear New Deal cases. It is not unusual, however, for them to delay adjournment a week in order to clear up pending busi ness. This la what they have in mind now.

Comment the on Day's News By FRANK JENKINS. THE latest figures available from the census bureau show that to tal governmental revenues in this country amount to about 11V4 Dll Hon dollars. That is more than eleven thousand millions of dollars a total so huge that we can hardly imagine It. OF this enormous tax total for tne revenues of government come j from taxation 26 hundred million dollars ore received by the federal ; government; that is, the government at Washington, j The state governments receive 33 hundred millions, 13 hundred mil- j Hons go to the counties and 53 hun dred millions to the cities, towns, villages, school and road districts : and other local taxing units. The taxe that are CLOSEST TO . US, you see, are the biggest. I IF you will study these figures care- fully, you will find in them some of the reasons why your wages won't , BUY AS MUCH as you think they should. (It doesn't really matter much, you know, what wages you get. What really counts Is what your wages will BUY.) THERE are roughly 30 million fam ilies In the United States. So. it we divide this 11 billion dollars of taxes up among the 30 million families we find that It cornea to nearly $400 per family. Four hundred dollars a year Is a lot of money. It amounts to nearly 35 a month. That la a fair -sized grocery 1U for an average family. It will go far toward clothing an average family. But, remember, please, that this 1400 a year must go for taxes. That is to say. It must come out ot what the average family has to spend. I A GENIUS )R. R. V. Tierce, whose picture appears here, was a profound student of the medicinal qualities of Na ture's remedies roots and herbs. For n e a r I v 70 years Dr. Tierce's Go Wen Medical Discovery has been dd in the drug stores of the t'nitcd States and Canada. H you wih to "live vim, vigor and vitality, try this "Discovery." It eliminates p-iijon? from the intestines, aids digestion, acts a a tviic. Rtiv run! New sue, tablet! VV liquid Jl.iM andjl.ii BUT you will be inclined to &y Immediately, "my taxes aren't anything like that amount. There must' be a mistake somewhere.' When you say that, you will be thinking of the taxes you pay DI RECTLY Income and property taxes, for example and will be overlook ing the much larger total of taxes you pay indirectly. Every time you buy ANYTHING, a part of the money you spend Is rep resented by taxes. ' HOW la that?" you ask. Well, It's this way: Taxes are a part of the cost oi doing business. All the cost of doing business HAS to go into the selling price. Otherwise, the business would go broke. Taxes are Just as definite a part of the cost of doing business as rent and heat and light. SUPPOSE you own a modest house, and that Interest on the money you have Invested in It, plus insur ance, repairs, etc., comes to 9180 a year. If that was all you had to pay, you could rent your house for $15 a month. But It ISNT all you have to pay. You must PAY TAXES besides, ana if you don't add your taxes to the rent the sheriff will get your house. So, you see, the tenant really pays the taxes. THE politicians like to make us believe that government can goon spending and spending and spend ing, and the load won't fall on com mon, ordinary people because only the RICH are taxed. That argument is APPLESAUCE. Taxes are a part In these days a large part of the cost of doing business and have to be passed on as a part of the selling price or those who are doing business will go broke. NONE of us can escape his share of taxes. Ye Poet's Cornei "A Trusty Tells How One Escaped" I saw him when he first came to his cell A lifer from the mountain vales and rills; There wistfully he scanned the far off hills.

And once as I passed by I breathvd hisname. Saying: "I know those hills from whence you came Once I panned old Rogue River out that way." And oh. such woeful yearning I could see, As he stood there transfixed and gazed past me I III I saw him later walking In the yard.
