WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Ad-
ministration officials today aimed
their tax plans at an increase to
produce more than one billion dol
lars.
An increase which will balance the
budget was said by high treasury
officials to be necessary. The deficit
is expected to amount to $500, 000,-
900 by the close of the fiscal year.
Increases modelled after the 1924
revenue act with increased rates for
smaller or normal incomes, will
be recommended. The plan will in
clude taxes on semi-luXurieS, such
as radios and automobiles.
Each item to be taxed will be
studied completely to determine the
effect of the levy.
While the plants of an emergency
nature, it was said, the treasury
hopes to make it comprehensive and
at the same time flexible.
Assurances that senate admins
tration leaders would give prompt
consideration to tax increase bill
when it is sent over by the house
has been given by Majority Leader
James E. Watson Qnd) to Repre-
sentative John N. Garner Dem,
Tex, prospective house Speaker.
This offer of cooperation was
made in conference Wednesday
night between the two leaders.
Watsons purpose. it was under
stood was to enlist Garner and
house Democrats in the administra-
ton plan for tax increase.
The deficit today reached $780,
100000.

who quit in the 1926-27 controversy.
As the argument closed. it APP
peared that both sides had made
good case for the company motion.
Although Watson argued that the
unemployed could not be considered
under the contract, his company
fled a petition today with the COM
mission setting out that they will
give free bus and street car serv-
ice for the movie benefits to be held
Saturday night.

hour day and time and one-half for
overtime.
Fenstermacher also said that
nothing can be considered that is
not in the contract, and each en-
ploye enjoys all provisions of it.
Singleton asked if Fenstermacher
thought single employee could put
up battle for collective bargaining.
Fenstermacher didn't think that it
could be a one-man show, he adj
mitted.
He did argue for a liberal con-
struction" of the contract in favor
of labor, and said most of the
matters being argued should be
allowed to develop in evidence and
not during a lawyers argument to
strike out, which should be confined
to commission jurisdiction.

fiowery than the truth would war;
