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.

them) indicate that a marked defi

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.

SKINNY FRAIL?
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.
How to Breathe
Over a month ago I wrote for Belly
Breathing, Inclosing 10 cents In
stamps, but have never received it.
(Mrs. J. H.)
Ans. You did not comply with In
structions. If you want the booklet,
"The Art of Easy Breathing," ask for
It and Inclose 10 cents In coin to
gether with a 3-cent stamped envel
ope bearing your address. Do not
send loose stamps, and do not expect
me to address the envelope. Address
It yourself, then If it goes wrong It
is your own fault.
Dandruff and Falling Hair
Please give a suggestion for treat
ment of dandruff and falling hair. I
am Just 36 but . . . (Mrs. E. A. H.)
Ans. Send stamped envelope bear

these follwln rays of llaht on

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

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

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.

"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.
Which can be seen above this walled -In
hell;
And oh, the tale those sad eyes told
to me
Of vain and ceaseless longing to be
free I
II
I saw him standing there day after
day.
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.
The cramped cell-life had driven him
Insane;
I sauntered near and called his name
again, '
He knew me not his eyes were set
and hard;
And oh. i tt night: "At last his mind
Is free.
From longing for those hill-tops he
can see!"
