Dallinger Seeks Way to End
Minority Delays in Legislation

bring greatest relief to an overtaxed
and inequitably taxed people.
"The millionaire depending on in
come from security investments pays
no just proportion of taxes. He de-
feats the intent Of the law by con-
verting his wealth into tax-exempt Sc
curities and thus thumbs his nose at
the federal tax collector. AS the Su-
preme Court has held that Congress
has no constitutional power to tax
these securities. those of US who want
the rich man to carry his just burden
of taxation are ready to turn to the
simple expedient Of taxing everybody
on what he spends. Thus, instead of
penalizing a citizen for making a
large income. We will encourage him
to make and to save, but will tax him
for spending. The millionaire who now
pays nothing will be taxed for his
every purchase. With the exemption
on the necessaries of life, the tax will
be SO small for every dollar spent that
the poor man will no longer be over
burdened.
II am sure that every man who last
March sweated and grunted over his
income tax return will agree with me
that it will add a lot to the indiyid-
uars happiness and contentment 10
escape the drudgery of making out a
return.
THE transportation act should be
let alone, and so. for that matter
should the railroads. Let's give them
chance to come back. because on
their prosperity depends our own.
"An immigration bill will be passed
by the next Congress. hope that we
shall be able to find a way to pick
our immigrants with more discern
ment by examination and investiga-
tion in the country of origin, and tha,
we can find method Of letting those
come who should come without the
hardship and suffering resulting from
the present laws"

Cooperation of President Coolidge
to reduce the lost motion In legisla-
tion through such practices as a mf
nority filibuster in the Senate is being
sought by Representative Frederick
w. Dallinger of Massachusetts, who
intends in the coming Congress to re-
new his efforts to have inefficient and
time-wasting organization errors cor
yected.
"I believe in party government"
said Representative Dallinger. II be-
Iieve each party should go to the polls
with a program and that the party
which wins should put through it's
plans unincumbered by archaic sena-
torial rules which make possible the
defeat of a measure simply by mi
nority filibuster. The republican par
fy's ship subsidy bill was thus defeat
ed in the last Congress.
THE anti-lynching bill had a like
fate. ! believe President Coolidge,
backed by public opinion. should force
the Senate to adopt rules more in con-
formity with twentieth century pollt-
icaI philosophy, and I am going to
urge on him the advantage and need
of his making such a recommenda-
1ion.

cleaning in the branch of Congress in
which sit. About half of the pres
ent standing committees Of the House
should be abolished. They don't func-
ton and only add to the expense of
running the government"
Representative Dallinger has very
decided views on three matters of
legislation that are expected to be
brought prominently to the attention
of the new Congress. He would
s'scrap the income tax" declare an
armistice on railroad batting and Sc
iect immigrants In the country Of or

In substitution for the income tax
he favors a scientific tax on gross
sales, with an exemption on the neces-
saries of life. Intensity the present
policy of economy" he advises. Get
the government on a business basis.

ITO me the policy of properly and
fairly collecting taxes to pay for only

government looms as the big thing
that the next Congress can do. These

BY EDWARD f. ROBERTS.

A THIRD House of Congress, a
~ House to be elected along
~ unique lines and to have for
its exclusive province the con-
troll OF American business and indus
try, is the remarkable solution Of
fered by Samuel Gompers. president
of the American Federation of Labor,
for our economic problems and troubles.
| AS a man who for forty years has
guided the destinies of the greatest
i labor organization in the world, Mr..
i Gompers is naturally primarily con-
cerned with the interests and aspira-
| tions of the wage Garner, but his
novel plan for the reorganization OF
our national government is offered
from the point of view of business as
whole, in the interests OF. the en-
ployer as much as the employe. 1t
is offered as something else, some
thing perhaps of even greater I'M
portance-as an effective check to the
spread of radicalism in the United
States.
Mr.. Gompers does not believe that
bolsheyism or any similar violent
theory of radicalism has made any
headway In the United States. Par
ticularly does he deny that American
labor is sympathetic to any sucn
ideas, but at the same time he Is con-
! yinced that there is general tend
ency toward socialistic doctrines which
can only be halted by very definite
changes in the conduct and policy of our
government.
What Does Labor Wantf
what does American labor want
and how does 1t propose to get ft?'
1t was for an answer to that question
that / went to the headquarters Of
the American Federation Of Labor
here. 1 found Mr.. Gompers surround
ed by two secretaries and stenogra-
pher, and apparently trying to do
about six things at the same time
! In the center Of the office rather

plete a bust which had been ordered
by one Of the great international
| unions.

more experience in debate than the
oldest lawyer at the American bar.
American labor wants no more
than any other section Of the Ameri-
can people," he said. 'Tt wants bet
ter conditions Of life and work for
every day in every year. 1t is not op-
posed to the government, but it is op-
posed to inefficiency in government.
It is opposed to a political govern
ment that interferes with Industrial
and business conditions which it does
not understand. Our political gov
ernment has done a magnificent work.
, It gave regeneration to the world. 1t
has protected our people in their po-
litical rights, and it has led US to a
condition of freedom and democracy
unknown to any other nation in the
history of the world. 1t will continue
to serve nobly for no one knows how
long. but it cannot serve in all ca
pacities without strangling the very
thing 1t was devised to save-human
liberty.

OF our republic knew nothing about
and could not have foreseen. The at
tempts of our political government to
regulate this vast business machine
can lead only to state socialism, and
state socialism is repugnant to the
American mind"
Have you an alternative?"
Yes, I believe that we are coming
to the place where the control of in
dustry will be put in the hands of a
, body of men who will not be lawyers
or politicians, but men familiar with
the workings of the industrial ma
chine. men who have practical
| knowledge of its problems and the
natural economic laws which govern
Its operation"
How would such a body be cre-
atedY
Not by the haphazard methods of
voting, by which we elect our politi-
cal officials, where a mans qualifica-
tions for the office he seeks are often
the last thing considered, If consid-
cred at all. The plan / have in mind
is simply an extension of what is al
ready happening in a great many In

, but their own conduct.
The workers are also organized and
make laws for their own member
ship. I would have each of these
groups in each industry elect repre-
sentatives who would meet in joint
caucus to consider the problems in
their own particular trade or craft.
This caucus would in turn elect rep
| resentatives to a national body COM
prised of delegates from all the in
dividual Industrial groups. Each eau
cus would submit it's recommenda-
tions to the national body through
its delegates and In this manner all
the problems and needs of industry
would be dealt with by a body of
experts and not, as at present. by a
Congress 76 per cent of whose mem
bership are lawyers"
Third House Proposed.
What you propose Is practically a
third house of Congress?"
In effect, yes. The Legislation
proposed in this third house might
be passed on to the political bodies
in the form Of recommendations, or
| it might be made mandatory from
the start, but in any event 1t would
have such a weight of authority be-
| hind it that 1 believe 1t would be in
variably accepted"
TT would be an absolutely novel
experiment in government" I sug-
gested.
WELL" replied Mr. Gompers with
a smile, "I do not find novel ideas
very terrifying. and I never heard
| that Americans were afraid Of any
thing because it was new. We have
blazed the path for other nations in
! a good many directions and hope
we will continue to do so. In any
event." he continued, and his smile
vanished, I'VE are headed today down
the road to socialism, and American
labor has no more desire to tread that
path than has American capital"
