DRASTIC CHANGE
!. IN u. S. TAXING
METHOD FOUGHT
New Economies, Levy on
Beer May Pull Nation
out Of Red
BY MARSHALL MCNEIL
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Gov-
ernmental economies totaling $780,
100000 or more, and the legalization
and taxation of beer may permit
congress in the short session to
avoid another drastic revision of the
revenue system.
This is the hope of many in con-
gress and out, and apparently one
held also by the administration.
which is assembling new data on
savings, as the result of the special
cabinet meeting Saturday on the
budget.
Results of this new drive for
economy will be known the week
after next when President Herbert
Hoover presents his budget mes
sage to congress.
But in White House statement
Saturday, Mr.. Hoover indicated saw
ings of $7O0,0O0,0O0 were being
sought. This would be reduced. of
was pointed out, by $50, 900 900, the
amount of public debt fixed charges.
On this basis, the message will call
for federal expenditures next fiscal
year of somewhat more than
$3,OO0,0 100000.
The treasury is running behind
more than 100000. The new
excise taxes have failed to yield as
expected, and, while the returns
from the new and high income taxes
will not come in until March, the
trend of business this year indi-
Gates they, too, will fall below esti-
mates.
Counting in the fact that appro-
priations this year were 1922, 900 900
greater than expected. that foreign
debt payments are lost for at least
another year, and sinking fund re-
quirements must be met, treasury
deficit of between ST 500, 100000 and
So, 000,000,0O0 is in prospect.
If the budget could be cut by half
a billion, three or four hundred mil
lion raised by tax on legal beer,
and some of the outstanding treas
ury issues ref1nanced at lower rates
of interest, the government reason
ably might get through another
twelve months.
Meanwhile, there is growing agi-
tation for a national tax conference
to readjust local, state and federal
levies into co-ordinated system.
The chamber probably will sup
port sales tax, but unless dras-
tic change in attitude develops in
congress, this levy will not be sue
cessful. there. The American Fede-
ration of Labor has just reiterated
its opposition to it, as has Senator
William Borah CRep., Idaho, who
favors, he said, almost any sort of
tax, or big bond issue.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Starving
Half of Population Are
Victims, Says Report
of Labor Chiefs.

By United Press
ECINCINNATI. Nov. 21-Charging
~ that in the United States we
are slowly starving nearly one
half of our population" the
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor, in its annual
report today to the federation's
convention, sounded warning that
this country must restore sanity
and balance in economic life"
I'VE estimate said the report,
that, counting all workers and
those dependent upon them, at
least so, 100000 persons now are liv-
ing below minimum standards
nearly half our entire population.
Forty millions of them have been
dragged into poverty by depression;
twenty million more are in in
dustries where living conditions
even in normal times are below
standard.
Gould there be a more seriou;
indictments of our present economic
order?
Rich Richer; Poor Poorer
We are denying one-third of oul
wage and small salaried workers the
right to work; we slowly are starv-
ing nearly half of our population.
The council presents income fig
ures to show how the past decade
of rugged individualism has en-
riched the rich and impoverished
the poor.
Between 1922 and 1929 wages anc
salaries increased ass per cent; div
idends increased 1881 per cent.
Even in the depression's first year
dividends increased 5 per cent, while
wages dropped Is per cent.
The very rich took the bulk oil
the wealth In 1929, 86.5 per cent
of all dividends were paid to persons
with investments of more thar
100000. While workers income;
between 1922 and 1929 increased As;
per cent, incomes more than $100,00(
increased $50 per cent.
Destroy Buying Market
In 1929, when some 100000 o.
our citizens we're living below min.
imum standards of health and eff.
f1ciency, 14,800 persons received in
comes of more than 100000, anc
513 received 100000 EACH
All this, the report says, de.
stroyed the buying market for in
dustry. Since those who earn les
than $4,000 year spend 83 per CEN
of their income, the concentration
of wealth destroys the country's best
market. Retail sales have declined
at a ratio almost identical with the
decline in buying power OF the
masses.
AS to the depression the council
finds that although workers wage
and salary loss this year has beer
sos, 600, O00,O 900, relief from all source;
will not total more than $500, 000,0 900
Need Relief Machinery
More than two thirds of relief fol
the past two years has been fur
nished by the taxpayers. In these
years relief has been SO per cent
public, 81 per cent private. In the
future, the council says, the gov
eminent must be more generous If
it's grants.
1.-The lesson of the present de-
preston shows that we must es-
tablish adequate relief machinery,
"the report states. This includes g
program to keep work-hours adj
justed to work-time needed, meas
ures to create additional work, un-
employment insurance, adequate
public relief, including a force Of
trained persons to administer it.
1--WE have made much progress ir
our relief machinery since 1929, but
this year we have a more difficult
and serious situation"
