THIS WEEK WASHINGTON

THIS WEEK WASHINGTON
Washington, D. G., May 1o.-Old-
time observers Of governmental activ
tiles say that they have never seen
such an earnes, and serious effort on
the part Of everybody concerned to do
the right thing in this national crisis.
Evidence Of the strain under which
congress is working is found in the
large amount of illness, prostration
from over work and several deaths
among the members OF both Houses
since this session began.
The public does not realize the
amount of work that is done by mem
bers of congress, because most Of the
reports are only Of the public sessions
A good deal of time and energy is
spent on the floor of each House in
making speeches which convince no
body, but which have as their Interior
motive possible use for political pur-
poses. The real work of congress is
done in the committee rooms and in
conferences with officials Of the execu-
tive branch Of the government And in
these days the earnest thought and
study that is being given to the prob
lens Of government by everybody, re-
publicans, democrats and insurgents,
is more intense than it has been at any
time since the war 1t is no unusual
thing for committee chairman TO
work all night or for an entire COM
mittee to sit in earnest discussion un-
til the late hours in the morning. Both
the House and Senate restaurants are
serving more breakfasts than ever be-
fore.
Speaker Garner is at his office every
morning at 7 o'clock, although the ses-
sions of congress do not begin until

Senate it won't look very much like
the one which was passed by the
House. The result will be long and
perhaps stormy session Of confer
ence committee, to whip the new tax
legislation into shape that both Houses
will stand for.
1t looks now as if there was little
chance of the general manufacturer J
sales tax becoming law. but a strons
and vigorous new drive in favor of ii
is being felt on Capitol Hill There are
very serious doubts arising as to
whether the excessively high taxes On
large incomes and inheritances will
yield anything like what they have
been estimated to yield The extent to
which incomes of the supposedly very
rich have been cut down in the past
couple of years is just beginning to Be
realized as the income tax returns for
1881 are being analysed by the treas
ury Not only individual incomes but
corporate incomes have fallen off 50

President Hoover in his address to
the conference of governors called
sharp attention not only to the necessity
of cutting down governmental expend-
lures, but also to the need of finding
new and less burdensome methods Of
taxation. He pointed out that local and
state expenses have increased in far
greater proportion than federal ex-
penses, and that total expenditures for
all governmental purposes now repre-
sent probably more than 20 percent Of
the national income. Before the war
he pointed out, every man worked
twenty-five days year for the ma
tional, state and local governments,
while today's taxes take 81 working
days out of every workers year. Too
much of the local and state tax bur-
den is carried by real estate and its
improvements, he pointed out and too
many state and local taxes draw from
the same sources as the federal gov
eminent does

One reason why late summer ses-
sion Of congress now seems probable
IS that our government budget in
cludes as expected income, payments
on account Of war debts due US from
Europe, while the European budgets so
far adopted do not make any provl-
sion for such payments The morator-
ium on war debts expires July lst. In
July England should pay US about
s85, 600, 900, and the same amount again
in January, but the British govern
ment has left this out Of its estjnaafes
and Europe generally seems 10 be re-
lying upon the Lausanne conference 10
be held in June, to cancel or modify
these debt obligations.

Is over.
It is beginning to be doubtful whether
congress can actually finish its work
and adjourn for the year by the 10th
OF June. The major appropriation bills
will have to be out of the way before
June 30, as the governments fiscal
year ends on that date, and nobody
would have authority to spend a cent
after July lst, unless the appropriation
bills were passed. Those are the meas
ures which are giving more trouble
than even the tax bill There is no
mlstaking the sincere desire of every-
body concerned with the operation CT
the government to cut down govern
mental costs. On many Of the items
where economies are proposed there is
no serious difference of opinion. The
difference occurs where the amount that
would be saved by particular meas
ure is a matter of opinion and not Ct
demonstrahle fact 1t is easy enough to
prove on paper what the effect would
be Of reducing government salaries. 1t
is not easy to prove what would be
the effect of making charge for gov
eminent services which are now rem
dered free. 1t is only guess work as to
how many people would continue to
take advantage of those services if they
had to pay for them And opposing
every specific economy is a strong
lobby representing the particular group
OF employees, or bureau or department
which would be affected if this, that,
or the other item were cut off.
It means good deal harder work
to find ways Of cutting expenses which
will do the least harm politically than
it is to find new sources Of taxation to
balance the budget And the tax bill
is presenting harder problems than the
country has ever faced. The senate
committee has done great many
things to the House bill, and by the
time the tax bill finally passes the

DETROIT POLICE
CLUB CHILDREN
AT CITY HALL

DETROIT, July 12--One hundred
police, with clubs, on horses, and on
emergency trucks, attacked the Chill
dren's Hunger March in Detroit on
Monday. The workers children,
numbering about 500, resisted the at
tempt of the police to drive them
from the steps of the City Hall.
The demonstration started at IL a.
m. at the Lincoln School, in the heart
Of the Negro neighborhood, gathered
farce as it went along. The parade
stopped at Grand Circus Park, and
listened to speakers representing var
ious working class organizations.
Mothers of children who need food.
but are getting nothing, spoke. Work
ers' children from different parts of
the city also spoke.
A committee of ten parents Nd
children, supported by so children,
went to the City Hall to demand that
they see Mayor Murphy. They we're
told that he was busy and would see
them later. Meanwhile the entire
demonstration marched from the park
down the main avenue to the City
Hall with the children singing and
cheering. Speakers mounted the
steps. Police rushed out from the
City Hall and began to club and beat
the children.
Children Thrown to Ground
After putting up stubborn fight,
in which a number of children and
mothers were thrown to the ground
and one young worker. arrested, the
workers and children went back to

to Marking to Bomb
the Chinese Masses

Col. Yee, head of the Marking
Aviation Department, is travelling
incognito in this country buying
planes and other war material for
the Wall Street-inspired drive of
the Marking Government. This
drive aims to re-enslave the eman-
cipated Chinese masses in the
Chinese Soviet Districts. Yee is
accompanied by Madame Chang,
wife of Gen. Chang. Within the
past few days they placed an order
with the Curtis Wright Company
for planes to be shipped to China.
The Wall Street Government,
through its diplomatic representa-
tives in China, has also contracted
with the Marking Government for
the training Of Chinese aviators.
Eleven American aviators recently
arrived In Yokohoma, Japan, on
their way to Shanghai to help the
Marking butchers re-organize
their air-service for bombing ex-

They warned the Congress that an

The Senate yesterday voted to
keep the Finance Corporation quiz
secret. A Washington dispatch to
the New York Times describes the
action of the Senate as actuated by
the fear of Damaging confidence in
the borrowing institutions if any
disclosures were made of the tran
sactions of the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation whereby the big
bankers and railroads have been en-
abled to raid the u. S. Treasury at
the expense Of the small bank de-
positors and especially of the work
ers, poor farmers and city petty
bourgeoisie. The working class is
now paying for these raids on the
Treasury through the huge increase
in taxation on necessities, the in
crease in postal rates, etc.
The figures released by the govern
ment show that the huge sum of
$1,054,815,486 was handed out in
"doles" to the big banks and rail-
roads while the government and the
A. F. of L. bureaucrats were de-
nouncing the workers demands for
unemployment relief and social in
surance as an attempt to institute
the dole system" They declared that
payment of unemployment relief to
the starving workers would be a
"dole" and "a blow to the self-re-
spect of the American working class"
The elf-respect of the bankers has
not been affected by the tremendous
dole& The workers must demand
that these huge handouts to the
bankers and railroads be stopped,
that the bosses and their govern
ment be forced to pay unemployment
relief and social insurance to the
100000 unemployed workers and
their starving families. Demand pay
ment of the Graveyard Bonus to the
worker ex-servicemen!
