MARRY-GO-ROUND
By Helen Rowland

A man is so easily fed up!
Nothing tastes so good to him,
upon his return from a fish
ing-trip, as a plain, honest slice
of roast beef and potatoes. And
nothing looks so good to him,
upon his return from a linger-
ing honeymoon trip, as his
office desk.
In selecting a husband, it is
so hard for modern woman
to choose between something
ornamental and eXpen siv e
which will add an effective
touch to her drawing-room, and
something plain but useful,
which has to be kept out OF
sight, most of the time.
There is no use trying ''first
aid'' on a dying love; the most
humane thing to do is to put
it out of it's misery, quickly,
mercifully and permanently.
But a woman can never resist

An Unimpressive
Figure

But for "guts, we heart
lily commend Mr.. Smell to the
consideration of the dazed-
and the partisan propagan-
dists of the Hoover press.
He leads almost as many
men in the House as Mr..
Rainey. He had the support
of Mr.. Hoover, who is his
party's candidate for Presi-
dent just now. He had the
active support of Ogden
Mills. And he was unable to
hold his party together.
Indeed, Mr.. L a e u a r d a
made Mr.. Smell look like a
drifter with the scullions and
the cooks rather than like a
leader.
More than that, he did not
make an impressive fighter
even when he had every ad-
vantage with him. He has
not stood out as a gallant
figure in this struggl lie.
Rainey did; and Crisp did

everyone knew where they

spicuous and an unimpres-

he held his men together, the
bill would have passed; but
the Republicans broke away
from his leadership.

The Washington times., 1932-03-29

THE defeat Of the sales
tax in the House had
been foregone conclusion
for a week before the vote
was taken; and nothing hap
pened the day the vote was
taken that had not been
known before. In the course
of the debate some extreme
statements were. made which
reflect, we think, something
of the undercurrent of feel
ing in the country.
Perhaps it is impossible
to have 100000 breadwin-
ners refused their inalien-
able right to work with the
4O,000,O00 in dire distress,
with a face stern-set against
a penny from the Federal
Treasury for the hungry,
and a two-billion-dollar loan
from the Treasury to the
powerful-perhaps we can
not have these conditions
and expect all men to think
with sweet reasonablenesS.
There is no doubt but that
the fury in the House was
directed at the rich and
powerful, but it may be
seriously doubted whether
these ultimately will be hurt.
If taxes are concentrated
to any degree on them,
they have recourse to tax
exempt securities. And
there are a thousand and
one devices through which
they are able to get around
a law.
In the end the great mass
of the people will pay.
The Washington times., 1932-03-29
Both Party Organizations
Were Smashed

There are two lines of COM
ment on the result that call
for some attention. The
press propagandists of the
Administration, WhOse baby
the deficit is, lay great stress
on the fact that the Democrat
leaders in the House could
not control their men, and
that great numbers revolted.
These propagandists tenderly
refrain from stressing the
utter futility and failure Of
Mr.. Smell, Republican leader,
to lead and control his men.
The revolt was a bipartisan
revolt; and both party or
carnations were smashed.
The Democrats majority
in the House is so small that
the change of a few votes
as many as four or five-can
upset the majority. The
marvel is that the leaders
have been able to. hold this
majority together so per-
fectly practically all the
time. The danger is that
having broken away from
the leadership this time, they
may continue in the future.
And if they continue in the
future the inevitable con-
clusion of the thoughtful in
the country will be that the
party lacks the solidarity
and discipline for govern
ment.

The Washington times., 1932-03-29
Soaking
The Rich -

The sales tax is out; the
vote has settled that.
But there looms the
Hoover deficit - and the
Democratic leadership in the
House will meet it, though
it is not their baby"
Mr.. Rainey Immediately
after the vote addressed the
country, over the radio,
promising another method
for meeting the deficit with
in a week, and explaining
why nothing more can be
added by way of soaking
the rich. :" No living man
has fought for so many years
with such consistency for
the average man, but he has
the saving salt of common
sense. He thinks that "tthe
most violent advocate of
soaking the rich" ought to
be satisfied with what has
been done, and he adds:
The danger is that we
may have driven the rich
by this bill, so far as it has
gone, into tax exempt secur-
tiles, and if we have done
that, capital in industry
will be greatly impaired
and more industries will
close. "
He knows, and says, that
there IS no possible way to
meet the Hoover deficit
without resorting to un-
pleasant taxes such as "the
irritating nuisance taxes of
war times or something of
the kind. " The postage rates
will be increased from two
to three cents. And then
THE balance of it we can

taxes as taxes on radios, au-

ity, cigarettes and tobacco.
messages, stamp taxes on
checks, taxes on conveyances

k in d of nuisance taxes
which everybody will pay,
but the solvency of this
great government must be

The Washington times., 1932-03-29
A Penalty the People
Must Pay


But there still stands the
deficit. There still remains
t he fact that the budget is
not balanced. There still re-
mains the threat to the
credit of the nation. And
while the two-billion-dollar
deficit is the baby of the
Administration, the House
must report a tax bill to
meet it; and this will be
done.
In doing it, it will be i'm
possible to find a tax that
will be popular with all the
people. Taxes always are as
welcome as death. But they
are necessary if organized
society is to be held to-
gether.
The money cannot be
raised by income and cor
poration taxes under exist
ing conditions; for these in
comes are lower than for
many years, and there al
ways are the tax-exempt Sc
curities. There is only one
way to make wealth bear
the entire burden, and that
is through a capital tax
which just now is impossi-
bic. No tax can be devised
just now that does not fall
heavily on all the people.
1t is a penalty they must
pay for the Hoover deficit.
