A cast iron stomach ranks along with stamina, good eyesight, ana skill at managing motor car among the qualifications for any one who wants to break the trans. continental automobile speed rec ord.
 At least. this is the inevitable conclusion to be drawn from the record smashing trip from New York to Los Angeles and back, fin ished November 5, 1881, by Bob Mckenzie and Joe Harberth. Me- Kenzie and Harberth lived for five days on ham sandwiches and cheese sandwiches of the formid. able sort encountered at roadside filling stations and barbecue stands.
 "Fortunately," said Mckenzie. i've are not like an army which has to travel on its stomach; other rought going"

 The record of 135 hours and 22 minutes which was announced to the country on the afternoon or November 5. sliced about 12 hours from the previous record made over A year ago by "Stew" Hamlon. It reduced the original New York to Los Angeles and return record made three years ago by Cannon ba1P' Baker, about Al hours. It involved, of course, continuous driving, "A hours of every day and from many standpoints was most remarkable trans-continental au- tomobile trip.
 According to Mckenzie. who pro- noted the trip, almost every im- aginable variety of weather emer- gency possible in the north tenn perate zone had to be surmounted either going or coming: Tempera- lures varied from freezing to over a hundred degrees. Attitudes ranged from 5000 feet at Raton Pass near Trinidad, Colorado. to below sea level around Needles, Calf.

the reasons why taxes for the lower In
comes have not been particularly
pressed is the cost Of administration.
This introduces another problem in Sc
lecting the right kind of tax levies.
Many taxes that are theoretically good
are not actually easy to collect.
There is, therefore, no such thing as
really permanent tax plan, especially
in view of changing business condi-
tionS. In representative government
there viii always be shifts and changes
and combinations made to prevent taxes
from being evenly spread or equitably
distributed Taxes from the days Of
the stamp tax in the early history of
America to the manufacturers tax de-
feated in the House of Representatives
fortnight ago have always been un-
popular.
This means that the final tax bill
this year will be a comprom and
will represent the minimum of political
opposition. So long as the budget is
balanced, however, the administration
will be satisfied. For in the last analy-
sis, the idea Of balancing the budget
is looked upon as having such a far
reaching effect on credit and confidence
generally that increased business could
easily absorb any taxes now being pro-
posed-provided there were increased
business.
That Is why the emphasis now is on
balancing the budget as means of
Evening star., 1932-04-05

difficult to levy a tax on large num-
Der Of people each one of whom would
contribute a very small sum to pro-
vide in total very substantial amount
of revenue.
In the recommendations made by the
Treasury Department for increased
taxes, the proposed revision which has
not yet been adopted by Congress, 1t
was estimated that the tax-pay1ng
group of the country would be increased
by 100000 individuals. Our present
income tax law affects only 1,9O0,OOO
individuals If the recommendations
should be adopted, it would mean that
only some 100000 persons would pay
Federal taxes in Nation Of 12O, 900, 600
people. OF this number, less tnan
100000 people would contribute 1ully
80 per cent of the total tax.
Some idea OF the extent to which the
Treasury Department felt constrained to
limit its own proposals for an IN
creased number of taxpayers in the
lower group may be derived from the
fact that of the additional revenue pro-
posed, it is estimated that fully three
f1fths will be derived from persons OF
incomes of 100000 and over and more
than four-fifths of the tax from in
comes of persons earning $4,000 year
and over.
Some Of the departments of the Gov
ernment actually take in money ana
are what might be called special busl-
ness enterprises. The Post once De-
Evening star., 1932-04-05

partment Is one Of these. During the
last fiscal year, the deficit Of the Post
ONCE Department was $100, 900, 900. The
indicated deficit for the next fiscal year
is approximately $150,o00 900. Some
increases in postage are expected and
already various recommendations from
the Post Office Department have been
made, In order to increase revenues
from this source.
Theory Of Our Tax System.
The theory Of the American tax sys-
tenn thus far has been to get as much
revenue as possible from as many
sources as would feel it the least. All
controversies over taxation revolve
around the question of willingness to
pay as well as capacity to pay. Po-
litical groups have been able to resist
proposed levies and there are many in
stances of log rolling in which repre-
sentatives from one section of the
country will combine with represent
atives from another section in order to
prevent taxes upon certain industries
or manufactured products.
Framing tax biH is very much like
reducing a tariff bill. 1t is series of
local interests. This is one reason why
students of taxation have always ia
vored a well balanced tax system in
which not too much reliance was
placed on individual incomes but on
products with a large turnover. One Of

and interest on the foreign debt
amounting to S247 900 900.
With foreign trade affected and pur-
chasing power in this country dlm1n-
ished. it is inevitable that customs re-
ceipts should decline. Some of the pro
posalS to put higher rates on imported
articles do not really mean increased
revenue to the Treasury, but are eQulya-
lent to an embargo.
1t is natural that representatives in
Congress who are seeking to protect
home products in their districts will en-
deavor by one way or another to i'm
pose tariff duties SO as to keep out for
eign goods. This, however, does not bring
in revenue. To the extent that new
tariffs may be imposed, the receipts will
be correspondingly affected. 1t has not
been customary for the American Gov
ernment in recent years to depend on
customs receipts for large percentage
of Federal revenue. The customs re-
ceiptS have been welcome indeed, and
notwithstanding the high tariffs, they
have yielded more money than was an
ticipated But as base of supply for
the Federal budget, customs receipts
have never been more than about l6
per cent of the total taxation.
Income Tax Difficulties.
While one OF the chief difficulties
with the income tax as the base of
supply is the tendency to rely on the
productivity of the individuals in the
higher brackets, there Is a correspond
ing difficulty in broadening the base of
taxes so as to include the small in
comes. In other words it is politically

HEARING DEBATES
FARM BOARD SALES
Plan to Sell SurpIuSes
Praised and Attacked
by Witnesses.
nv the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
Witnesses opposed and defended bills
10 establish a policy for disposal of
Farm Board wheat and cotton stocks
today before a Senate committee, with
attacks upon and defense Of the board
as an accompaniment.
J. M. Locke, Muskogee, Okla, repre-
senting the American Cotton Shippers
Association, told a Senate Agriculture
Subcommittee that the stocks of board
wheat and cotton depressed the market.
He said the Gore bills before the COM
mittee should be approved.
Sponsored by Senator Gore, Demo-
crat, Oklahoma, they would provide that
no board wheat and cotton should be
sold before January /, 1888, and after
that they should be sold gradually, un-
less cotton went to Is cents and wheat
to 81. Then all could be sold at any
time.
Carl Williams. Farm Board member
for cotton. testified that in his opinion
there would be a rush to sell cotton
after it was known that board stocks
we're going on the market. He said the
board intended to tell the trade what
would be done with its cotton stocks
within six weeks, unless Congress in
terfered
Locke's assertion that he believed
the board policies had lost part OF
Americas cotton market abroad,
brought from Senator Thomas, Repub-
1ican, of Idaho, the observation that
he felt the witness was unfair to the
board.
"You seem to want to blame it for
all the drop in cotton prices" he com
mented Haven't stocks and bonds
dropped, too?"
Locke said he had not tried to put
all the low-price blame on the board,
but added it was responsible for some
Of it, and Senator Gore agreed.
Locke denied his organization was at
tempting to break up the cooperative
movement, but severely criticized Farm
Board operation, which has resulted in
the boards acquiring approximately l.
300 900 bales of cotton and $50, 0,0e0 900
bushels of wheat in an attempt to
stabilize prices.
Locke said the American cotton
farmers market was diminishing and
blamed the Farm Board for most
Of it."
For a number of years, he said, for
eign buyers had viewed with alarm and
fear" the interference of the Govern
ment in the cotton business"
This was true, he said, even before the
Farm Board was set up. He cited regu-
lations as to cotton grades, which he
said were forced on foreign buyers.
Locke, replying to another question
by Gore. asserted he had been told
cotton co-operatives were selling one
grade of cotton abroad and shipping
another
They shipped, he added, a better
grade than they sold and got a premium
on this, making the farmer think their
price on the grade originally sold was
higher than 1t was.

Virginia and educated in Europe,
where his engineer-father was en-
gagged in various construction pro-
jects, including the Bagdad-Berlin
railroad.
Shortly before the opening of
the World war, Howard Scott left
job in a German dye plant, went
to Canada and was employed in
the building Of munitions plants.
Scott was not, as has been wide
1y reported, assistant chief techni-
clan at Muscle Shoals. According
to an official of the company by
which he was employed, he held a
minor position there.
After the war, Scott went to
New York, started his technical al
lance and set himself up as a
free lance consulting engineer.
He became a familiar figure at
Greenwich Village studios, where
liberals and radicals met to dis
cuss the salvation of the world.
Contrary to reports, Scott does
not hold a number Of university
degrees. Until recently, his as
sociates in democracy believed
that he held a degree of doctor of
science; but he does not.

WARNING IS GIVEN ON
TRICHIN0SIS DANGER
Outbreak Usually Comes in Holiday
Season, from Pork Eating.
BV Science Service

SCASOAtS tIOul IOkh LhtliSs
By Science SerUice
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Warn-
ing against a holiday outbreak of
trichinosiS has been issued by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The disease, which often
is fatal, is caused by parasite and
is contracted by eating untreated
raw pork or improperly cooked
pork. ssit
Cases are especially common dur
ing the holiday season and winter in
general, when sausage and various
other pork products are eaten with
out proper cooking, DR.. Benjamin
Schwartz of the department pointed
out.
There are approved methods of
treating certain pork products that
are customarily eaten without cook
ing which make them safe to eat
in the uncooked state. These meth
DDS, however, are not practical out
side commercial establishments and
the treatment should be under Off
cial supervision, as provided in fed
eral meat inspection.
No case of the disease occurring
during fifteen years of observation
has been traced to pork products
in establishments operating under
the federal meat-inSpection service.
