RA|NEY SEESFEW
ADDITIONAL TAXES
Believes Action in Present
Session Will Be Limited
to Beer and Gas.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Rainey, the Demo-
cratic floor leader, today expressed be-
lief that with the exception of the beer
tax and re-enactment Of the l cent
Federal gasoline levy, no revenue legis-
lation would be passed at the present
session of Congress.
The present House went thoroughly
ON record against the sales tax at the
last session and I do not believe this
tax would have a chance at this Ses-
sion," said the leader, who is also rank
ing member Of the Ways and Means
Committee, which passes on revenue
legislation.
However, Chairman Collier said he
would call the Ways and Means Com
mittee together January 4, to put the
proposition up to the 25 members to
determine what they want to do about
additional taxes" He said personally
he was opposed to the sales tax.
Speaker Garner indicated that if ad-
session. it probably would be done by
the Senate in connection with its con-
sideration of the beer bill.
However. should the beer measure
fail of passage and should there be suf-
flcient time to consider revenue
measure, indications are that it might
be taken up.
Representative Smell of New York,
the Republican leader. who favors the
sales levy. said he believed that if it
were brought up in the House again at
least $50 Republicans would vote for
it. Only 1l3 Republicans supported
the measure defeated last Spring.

At one time the J. family was well
off Mr.. j. had almost paid for a small
modern dwelling in the residential sec
clothing store and Gid fairly well until
the depression came on. His main con-
Germ was caring for his wife, VINO was
suffering from heart trouble. and his
four youngsters, ranging from 2 to 9
years of age. In 1929, however, buSl-
ness became slow. Mr.. j. was no longer
able to keep up the mortgage on his
property and the mortgage on it was
eventually forecloSed. In order to meet
the bills of his business Mr.. j. borrowed
from every source, and when his cred
itorS pressed him he became frantic.
He knew only one thing-that his wife
and children must not suffer.
He began passing checks. Things
went along smoothly until the bank
brought the matter into court. Mr.. j..
is now serving a sentence. His VIE
and four children still must be cared
for. Mrs. j. has heart trouble and it
is impossible for her to work, even if a
Job could be found. She hesitates to
accept assistance, but she is helpless
and knows she must depend on some
one to see her through this crucial
period. Mrs. j. is a good manager and
can care for her familys needs on $50
a month. The sum of 81 080 would
