SALES TAX IS HELD
BEST WAY TO MEET
NATIONAL DEFICIT
Ways and Means Committee
Says No Other Method Has
Similar Advantages.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
The House was told today by its
Ways and Means Committee that there
was no other source of revenue that
would yield the amount required for
the Treasury as the 225 per cent manu-
factures sales tax is expected to do.
In the formal report o. the new
$l,096, 100000 revenue bill which the
House will begin to consider Tomorrow,
the committee says:
There is no other sou~ce OF revenue
which will yield the amount impera-
lively required with as little protest, as
little annoyance and as little disturb
ance to business as a manufactures ex-
else tax"
Includes Beer Report.
The tax proposed by the committee
Is expected to yield $595, ,000, 900 Of the
81 ,096, ,000,0 900 estimeted return of the
bill, and forms the legislations foun-
dation.
The report of 5000 words explained
every provision Of the new bill and in
cluded the minority views of a group
Of three committee members who ad-
vocated a $5-a-barrel tax on beer of
2.75 alcoholic content by weight.
The committee said that In these
times of doubt and uncertainty even
more than in normal times the unim-
paired credit of the Federal Govern
ment Is of paramount importance"
Our national credit structure is
bound up with and depends upon not
only the belief but the certainty that
the Federal Government will meet its
obligations when due and will take in
advance such steps as will enable 1t to
do So" 1t added.
Must Maintain Credit.
"In the opinion of your committee
the preservation, unimpaired, OF the
national credit is the most important
single issue facing the country today
and it Is confidently stated that this
is possible only by taking those steps
necessary to balance the budget for
1888.
"The task of the committee was to
formulate q measure which would put a
stop to increase of the public debt In
the fiscal year beginning July l, 1882
the fiscal 1888. Your committee IN
preparing the proposed bill investigated,
it is believed, every conceivable source OF
revenue and has agreed upon a complete
plan for covering the deficit Tor the
fiscal year 1888"
The report, drawn by Acting Chair
man Crisp, explained that while the an
ticipated deficit in 1928 was $l,24l,
100000, the committee expected Presi'
dent Hoover's budget estimates to be re.

NEW WENGLAND VOTE
BOOMS ROOSEVELT
Landslide Over Al Smith in
New Hampshire Hailed as
Sign of Victory.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The Roosevelt-for-P President move
ment among the Democrats jumped
forward today under the impetus OF
Roosevelt's smashing victory in New
Hampshire's primaries yesterday, where
the New York Governor won the entire
State delegation to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention over Alfred E. Smith
the Democratic nominee in 1928, with
a lead of about 4,500 votes.
Even in anti-Roosevelt quarters II
was admitted the New Hampshire re-
suit was a boost for the New York
Governor and q blow, not only to the
Smith candidacy, but the efforts Of
those anxious to prevent the nomina-
ton Of Roosevelt.
As for the Roosevelt Democrats, they

keynote Of that group. The Demo
Gratis Of the country, Senator Dill in
sisted, want victory and believe they
can win with Roosevelt. That Is his
explanation OF the vote in New Hamp-
shire.
Cites Northwest Result.
"It is not that New Hampshire DEM
ocrats love Smith less" said Senator
DILL but love victory more. They
know that sure way to victory Is to
nominate Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Just as the first Democratic State
convention IN the Far Northwest, In the
State of washington, named a dele

vention to support, Roosevelt, SO the
Rre% ID 6oo cfnrr, Ctofc
has elected a delegation for Roosevelt.
Both Washington and New Hampshire
were Smith strongholds in 1928.
"I believe the Minnesota Democrats
in State convention today will pick a
Roosevelt delegation to the national
convention. And in North Dakota next
week delegation for Roosevelt will be
elected. Thus Roosevelt victories will
have been obtained in all sections Of
the country.
THE stop Roosevelt movement Is
dying before 1t Is really born. The
Democrats want harmony and victory
and they can have both with Roose-
velt."
Wheeler to Aid In West.
Senator Wheeler OF Montana, an
other strong supporter of Roosevelt. Is
slated to leave this afternoon for North
Dakota to deliver several addresses for
Roosevelt in the wind-up OF the pri-
mary campaign in that State. In
North Dakota the New York Governor
is opposed by Alfalfa Bill" Murray,
Governor of Oklahoma. who has been
in the State campaigning for himself.
The fear of the Roosevelt Democrats
lies not in what might happen If DEM
ocrats alone participated in the Demo
cratic primary next Tuesday in North
Dakota, but what many OF the Non
Partisan Leaguers may do.
There is no real contest on the Re-
publican side Of the fence in presiden-
