this tax muddle. BY some hook or
crook, the taxing programs Of our 40
legislative bodies must be developed
into a single coherent system. If we
are to meet this situation-and we must
meet 1.-TWO things will be necessary:
The invention of new plan for CO.
operation, and organized initiative in
putting 1t into operation"
The present burden of filing dupli-
cate inheritance and income tax reports
and the prospective additional burden
of duplicate sales tax reports are seen
by the legislators as source Of great
economic waste and annoyance to tax
payers.
Perhaps the burden Of preparing
various tax reports for the Federal
Government and various other tax re-
ports upon different forms for the State
governments will eventualIy prove to
be an Ill which cannot be prevented" 4"
Senator Toll observed. But it is prob
ably no eXaggeration," he continued,
ito say that every intelligent business
man in the United States would like to
see an effort made to prevent 1t. BY
such an effort we should certainly be
able to make the situation somewhat
better; without such an effort the situ-
alton will certainly become considerably
worse"
The legislators also believe there Is
imperative need for some agency
through which the States and the Fed
eral Government could deal with each
other, and among themselves, on mat
ters of common interest in addition to
that involved in the tax problem. They
hope the National Council on Taxation
will establish the value of some such
permanent agency.
They realize the taxation problem is
not one that can be solved at single
session of the council, or even after
serious study by the Research Commit
tee. They hope, however. that a real
start will be made toward discovery of
the solution when the delegates as
semble here in February.

PICKETT DEMANDS
LIQUOR SAFEGUARDS
Predicts Controlled Politics and
Rioting if Dry Amendment
Is Abandoned.
By the Associated Press.


Members of Congress were called
upon "to assume control of the legisla-
tive situation before the country is seri-
ously injured" in statement yesterday
by Deets Pickett, secretary of the
Methodist Board of Prohibition, Tenn
perance and Public Morals.
"The defeat by the House of Repre-
sentatives Of the proposal to submit re-
peal of prohibition perhaps defers de-
cision of the issue until the assembly
of the new Congress" he said 1T is
presumed that President Hoover will
veto any attempt to legalize the sale Of
Intoxicating liquor"
Pickett described the present situation
thus: "The hysteria, the utter lack of
definition, the evident disposition to
serve the liquor interests without the
slightest effort to safeguard the public
welfare, IS astounding and alarming"
He predicted controlled politics, ex-
ploitation of youth, bloodshed among
rioting mobs If liquor Is returned to legal
status.
He told Congress to ponder the prom
ised. rehabilitation of the dry forces
"No prohibition organization heretofore
attempted is comparable to what Is in
prospect" he said.

McKellar Takes Objection.

THE Congress turned down the pro-
posal last year to establish a Depart
ment OF Public Works in which the
Corps of Engineers of the War Depart
ment was proposed to be put in the
hands Of a new cabinet officer" he said.
1.-THE President does substantially the
same thing by turning over the En-
gineering Corps Of the War Department
to the Department Of the Interior. I
doubt the wisdom of this.
Putting the General Accounting Of
fee under the budget director is also to
my mind, a mistake. Gen. McCarl has

DRASTIC CUTS IGNORED.
Ratio Feature Is Treated Lightly in
Toxic Comment.

3. Toxic Comment.
TOXIC, December IL Sunday Hp.-
Oficial comment, like the proposals
themselves, ignores the fact that Japan
has asked at Geneva for a drastic alter
alton in the ratio Of the American,
British and Japanese fleets.
The American-owned Japan Adver-
tiser said today that the Japanese
plan Is tantamount to changing the
present proportions from 1o-10-6.3 to
10-10-8.8.
The principal vernacular press said
nothing about the ratio feature. al
though 1t devoted much space to the
text of the Geneva document and to
stressing the official assertion that the
proposals mean a total reduction of
1906, 900 tons Of capital ships and first
class cruisers of the five principal
navies.
Admiral Okada, minister of the navy,
asserted that Japans proposals were
particularly adapted to replace" the
Washington and London treaties expir-
ing in 1886. He maintained that Japan
is seeking to weaken offensive and to
strengthen defensive powers.

AIRCRAFT CARRIERS
Report Urges Early Start to
Bring Fleet Up to Treaty .
Limit.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Early construction Of II aircraft car
riers to bring the United States fleet up
to full treaty limit was urged yesterday
"as a most essential step to our national
defense" by Rear Admiral w. A. Moi
fett, chief of naval aeronautics, in a
report to the Secretary Of the Navy.
Fleet exercises have continued to
demonstrate the serious shortage of air
craft carrying vessels, the admiral said,
adding that but three out Of q total of
IA permitted ships OF this type have
been or are being built.
Reiterating his recommendations Of
last year. Moffett urged that "an Or
dered program should be at once in
augurated to build up carriers and fly
ing decks to the full treaty limit"
Reports Aviation Progress.
Reporting on the progress Of naval
aviation during the fiscal year ending
June 80, he called attention to the
outstanding features Of naval heavier
than-air development which included
the use Of faster scouting planes, faster
fighting planes, the use Of long-dis-
tance patrol planes based on tenders
and on fleet air bases, and the increased
use of catapult- planes from
cruisers and battleships.
On the question Of new construction,
the admiral said: II again invite atten-
ton to the serious condition of the
aeronautical industry. Due to the eco
nomic situation the aeronautical in
dustry Is largely dependent upon the
business from the Army and Navy. To
provide for the future welfare of both
the Government and the industry, 1t is
essential that well established firms be
enabled to remain in business. This
can be done only by reasonable vol
ume Of experimental and production
orders resulting in fair profits"
Deplores Plane BilPs Failure.
The report said that due to the fail
ure of enactment Of the bill submitted
to the last Congress for ia airplanes
for the U. S. S. Ranger, the Navy is
faced with the very serious and diff
cult task of providing these airplanes
within the 1000 planes now authorized"
It was explained that this can be
accomplished only by eliminating or
reducing other very necessary units OF
the aeronautical organization and the
admiral added: II consider 1t essential
that airplanes, In addition to those au-
thorized by the five-year program, be
authorized for all new ship construc-
tion carrying aircraft"
