SALE TAX Group
I MAPS BATTLE

! "A battle will be waged in the
House Ways and Means Com:
mittee next week for approval Of
h general manufacturers sales
tax, despite the reported attitude
of President-elect Roosevelt.
Representative Collier CD of
Mississippi, chairman of the COM
mittee. announced today he would
lay before the committee the bill
of Representative Mcleod (R) of
Michigan for a ia per cent sales
tax. He said:
1--WE will consider all revenue
propositions laid before u.s."
Suggestions for taxation now
before him include a ] cent gross
sales tax, urged by Representative
Griffin CD of New York, and a
tax on chain store interstate
sales sponsored by Representative
McKeown CD of Oklahoma.
Broadening of the stamp tax
base to raise $75, 10000 also has
been suggested.
Collier said experts have been
instructed to submit estimates of
the Governments revenue needs.
The committee, Collier said, will
first of all consider the resolution
of Representative Fish (R.) of
New York to place an embargo
upon the imports Of forced and
andentured labor-the- So-called
anti-Soviet bill.

COURTED BY
ROOSEVELT
Garner Says President Elect
Welcomes Responsibility in
Reorganizing Bureaus

President-elect Roosevelt is
willing to take full RESPONSE
bility for a plan of reorganiz-
ing the Government and elimi-
mating useless offices to effect
economy, Speaker John N. Gar
ner said today.
To meet Mr.. Roosevelt's desires,
Congressional Democrats plan pas
sage of a resolution giving him
broad powers of reorganization
when he takes office.
rs Per Cent Cut Sought
The New York governor is said
to be extremely eager to make
good the Democratic promise of a
IS per cent cut, or about billion
dollars a year in Governmental
expenditures. Garner said:
"He is net afraid to take all
the responsibility that Congress
Is willing to give him" !,
Representative Smell of New
York, Republican House leader,
attacked the Democrats. He said
they proposed to give Roosevelt
the same power they refused to
give President Hoover last year.
Dictator Role Stunned
The form of the resolution has
not been agreed upon, Garner
said, but he admitted that the
powers would be similar to those
asked by Mr.. Hoover. He said:
"I don't think Governor
Roosevelt wants to be a die
tatOr."
He added that under the Con-
stitution Congress cannot sur
render its check upon the Execu-
tive.
The resolution, Garner said,
may be placed upon the Treasury
Post office bill in the Senate,
which carries continuation Of the
economy act.
To Repeal Appropriations
The resolution probably will
also carry repeal of all perma-
nent and indefinite appropriations
except those for the sinking fund
and interest on Government
bonds.
Smell Raps Democrats
Declining to commit himself on
the proposal, Representative Smell
said:
'When President Hoover sent
q special message last year ask
ing such authority, the Demo
Gratis. charged him with usurp-
ing the powers Of Congress.

LABOR OFFICES.
TOBE SAVED

Closing of 80 United States
employment offices scattere d
throughout the country was be-
neved averted today when the
House Appropriations Committee,
in reporting the annual de-
ficiency bill. provided a fund of
5000, 900 to carry on the work.
Vigorous protests had been
made by the Labor Department
and organized labor against the
threatened closings, which would
have put 155 men out of work.
The measure, as reported,
slashed $12,285,1 from the
Presidents budget estim a t e S,
marking the fourth successive
supply bill reported to the House
with the budget estimates re-
dueed. The bill carries $31, ,421,-
$40.
The chief saving was made by
lowering the estimated additional
amount needed for income tax
refunds from $4,000, 900 to $780,
900, 900.

RETAIL CROCERS
And Meat Dealers Outing
At COney Island Next
Wednesday

A great slice of Hamilton, that is,
of its population, will be moved to
Coney Island on Wednesday of next
week. The occasion is the annual out
ing of the Hamilton Retail Grocers
and Meat Dealers, which is to be
held this year at the popular up-the-
Ohio river resort. The local food dis
pensers are planning to outdo all pre-
vious annual outings, and that means
going some.
Transportation will be over the
Pennsylvania railroad and boat. A
special low round trip rate of rs
cents for adults and 45 cents for
children has been secured, which in
cludes railroad fare, ride on the boat
and admission to the grounds.
In addition to the many amuse-
ments on the grounds, those in charge
have provided special features for the
entertainment of the Hamilton peo-
pie. A pony and other free gifts will
be distributed.
Reduced rate amusement and trans
portation tickets are on sale at all
the Hamilton Retail Grocery and
Meat Dealer Association stores.
