TAX
PLAN BEATEN
IN SENATE
Proposal to Restore 1922
Income Levy Rejected by
Vote of 81 to 48

The nOn-partisan billion-dol-
lar tax bill withstood another
attack this afternoon when the
Senate, by a vote of 81 to 48,
defeated the Conally amend
ment seeking to restore the
1922 income tax rates.
Having refused to reimpose
wartime income taxes, the Sen.
ate also declined to boost the
new rates to the level of just
after the war.
The Connally amendment
would have imposed and per
cent normal rates with SurtaxeS
up to SIS per cent on incomes in
excess of $1,000,000. The new
Senate rates are 3, 6, and 9 per
cent with surtaxes up to As per
cent.
Showdown On Beer
The Senate nonpartisan tax
coalition today neared a show.
down on the question of legal
izing 4 per cent beer.
The proposal of Senator Bing-
ham CR0 of Connecticut to
legalize beer, thus making it tax
able at Sc barrel, would bring
in $375, 100000 a year revenue as
a substitute for numerous other
taxes.
He specifically suggested a re-
ductlon in income taxes to the
House rates, a slash in auto
mobile and lubricating oil levies,
and complete elimination of the
postal rate increase, the amuse-
ment, radio, photograph and
communication taxes.
Fight to Keep Rates
The coalition, led by Senators
Smoot R0 Of Utah and Harri-
son Cd of Mississippi. was seek
ing to retain the committee
rates unchanged.

effect on incomes in excess of
500. 900. The House bill made
the Surtax apply at $4,000 and
the maximum would take effect
at 100000. The Senate maxi
mum would take effect on in
comes in excess of 100000.
The Republican leadership of
the Senate meanwhile told House
leaders they would probably be
unable to adjourn Congress by
June 10. This was the fear ex-
pressed by Senator Watson (RO
of Indiana to Speaker Garner and
Representative Smell, Republican
leader in the house.
Watson pointed out that but %
legislative days remain before
June 10 and that the tax bill,
economy bill, unemployment re-
lief bill, and ten appropriation
bills must be enacted before ad-
journment.

SHAME ON US

THE land of the free and the home of
the brave.
We sing the phrase so smugly in the
national anthem, and our patriotic ora
tors love to roll it off their tongues at
the least prOvocatiOn.
But what has become of it? Where is
the old spirit that refused to truckle be-
fore wrong and sought the right no mat
ter what the costs?
None more sincerely wishes the early
and safe return of the Lindbergh baby
than we. None deplores more deeply the
bitter truth that it has been found neces-
sary to enlist the underworld-the land
of the racketeer, the gunman and the
thug to accomplish what law and order
has found impossible.
Time was when the underworld was a
thing apart from decent people. 1t ex-
listed in its own sphere and did not touch
those who seek to lead orderly lives.
But that time has passed. Whether
or not it has passed for ever, remains
solely with the people OF this country,
who are badly in need of great awak-
ening and a realization of the depths
into which they have allowed themselves
to slip.
The rise of the underworld to its pres

known to all. Decent people did not hes
itate to give their orders, and their
checks to the seller of liquor. 1t was
short step to permit him to enter their
homes in order to make deliveries.
Nor did it take the underworld long
to see that it only needed to change its
costume to obtain the power which it
sought. The loud and gaudy dress Of
the old time Tenderloin was forsaken.
Donning a snappy business suit, the un-
derworld did its business by day, hardly
distinguishable from the lawyer, the mer-
chant or the banker. At night it put on
evening clothes and rubbed elbows with
the best of society in its night clubs and
cabarets.
Not only was the underworld accept
ed by decent society, but the latter sought
the companionship of those whom they
knew were beyond the pale. They sought
a kick. They got it, for like the camel
and the Bedouin, the underworld has
kicked decent society out in the cold.
There is not a large city in this coun-
try, and indeed few small ones, where
the underworld does not reign supreme.
If one wants a political favor, or some
legitimate business dealing with NUM-
cipality, he must first deal, not with the
legally chosen officials, not with col
lege professor, banker or a merchant

PSYCHIATRISTS
WILL ADDRESS
LOCAL CHAMBER

Unusual interest is being shown
in the arrival of Dr. Norman
Fenton and Doctor Toner, noted
psychiatrists, in Ell Centro this
week. Both will be speakers at
the El Centre Chamber of Com
merce luncheon on Wednesday and
the chamber staff reports that al
ready a number of reservations
have been made for this meeting,
which offers an opportunity seldom
given in smaller communities to
learn of the development of the
science of psychiatry and of APP
Piled psychology.
Doctor Fenton is head of the
state juvenile department and was
formerly head of the Whittier
school for boys. He has also had
charge of the state department
for the prevention of crime. Doc
tor Toner, director of institutions
of the south, is at the head OF
the school guidance clinic which
will be conducted in El Centro this
week. Other persons from state de-

Doctor Fenton's lecture on
Wednesday noon should be Of in

Centro," states r. B. Whitelaw,
president of the Ell Centro cham"
ber. He is a man Of unlimited
experience in psychology and psy-
chiatry and, while all our children
are not social problems, every child
presents some problem and it is
on these matters which Doctor
Fenton will touch and which will
be of interest to all persons who
have children AS women are par
ticularly interested in subjects
which have to do with children,
we are especially anxious that the
women of the city take advantage
of this opportunity and be present
