ONE-PIECE FROCKS
SIMPLE IN DESIGN

Simplicity is the keynote speech"
Of some of the new one-piece knit
frocks that are going to be much worn
when the election results begin to roll
in next November, says an authority,
in the Kansas City Star. Monotone
for the most part, these slim frocks
with either short or long sleeves. One
still sees the boucle suit In some of its
younger moods. A rum brown boucle,
made in three pieces, had a three
quarter length coat and slim skirt,
worn with cream color fagotted

coat has widened smartly scanned
sleeves. tightly buttoned cuff bands,
a pull-through scarf with ends of
brown galyak and slightly fitted
waistline.

able high-necked cape is not to be
crowded off the smart street scene

The new cuffed hats are proving
just to the liking of women who seek
a change from the cap-ftting little
berets and toQues such as have been
holding the center of the stage SO
long, and yet do not fancy the wider
brims. These little hats with cuff
are smartly in fashion at the present
moment. The perky little cuff effect

looking in black for general wear.
Just below this model the hat shown
is Of gray velvet, for gray as mil
linery color is high style for fall. The
velvet is in this instance handstitched
and the crown and brim are made on
a stiff wired crinoline frame-a very
new and significant move in the
realm of millinery, for it has been
many a day since hats were worked
on a foundation. We forgot to men,

above described is also done over a

fired some time during the night, the
perpetrators Of the robbery getting

"The singular thing about the bold
robbery Is the fact that the crash Of
the terrific explosion was not heard,
even by persons sleeping directly
across the street from the bank, nor
by either Of the towns two night

CHAPTER v
An Obstacle Race

Markham spun the wheels on the
run to Perthdale to such good purpose
that 1t was only little after dark
when the blue roadster turned In at
the yard Of the country-town tavern.
Delaying only long enough to wash
off the dust of the long drive, Mark
ham and Lands went to the dining
room. There was little to be gathered
from the excited discussion of the
mysterious bank robbery. The ma
jority opinion gravitated toward the
belief that some new and noiseless
explosive must have been used.
"Everybody's up in the air, natural
ly," Markham commented as they
were leaving the dining room. "Well
find somebody who isn't too excited
to talk sensibly; somebody who can
give us a little real information. I'll
ask in the office" And when he came
out, "Stockwell. president Of the
bank, is our man; lives just around
the corner. Wen go and hear what
he has to say"
They found the banker easily ap-
proachable-the more easily after
Markham had introduced himself as
the son of a banker.

sectional influences and environment
are factor in the shaping Of a tax
bill.
1t is my view that Congress should
approach its task in the non-partisan
and patriotic spirit with which it ap-
preached the problem of levying taxes
during the World War. This does not
mean that Congress should be fright
ened by the resentment of clamorous
and selfish groups, that have been Sc
lected to bear some of the substart'ol j
burdens of the increased taxes. The
public, however, has the right to expsc.
members of Congress, regardless of diff
ferences of opinion, to proceed promptly
and with determination to remove the
spirit of uncertainty and apply that
degree of justice and equality that a
public servant is expected to apply
especially in this period of distress and
emergency
Let me now state what, in my judg-
ment, should be the primary consiGera
tionS in balancing the Government
budget.
First Of all, the total essential ex-
penditures and fixed obligations of the
Governm ent must be determined with
precision. Time and the subject allot-
ted me do not permit of the discussion
of the economy side of the question of
balancing the budget in my address to-
night.
Sees No Alternative.
Suffice to say, there should be almost
a unanimous agreement in principle,
first, that we should retrench wherever
possible without jeopardy to essential
Government activities and without in
terposing new obstacles in the pathway
of business recovery; second, that the
fixed charges and the fixed obligations
of the Government comprise so large
a proportion of our total expenditures
that economies, however drastic, can
not save the Treasury more than two
or three hundred million dollars at
most, of its two or three billion dollars
deficit.
Hence, we must solve the question of
finding ways and means of raising new
revenues, which involves a revision of
present taxes and the imposition of
Evening star., 1932-05-03

revenues have declined below two bill
lion dollars.
This state of the Federal finances
must be corrected and remedied at
once if the financial integrity Of the
Government Is to be maintained. The
solvency and financial security Of the
Federal Government is the very foun-
cation stone upon which the recovery
Of private business rests. The immedl-
ate step necessary is to wipe out the
accumulated deficit as soon as possible,
and this can only be done by increas-
ing the taxes substantially. No patriot
can afford to permit the credit Of the
nation to be imperiled.
AS yet there has been no essential
loss of national credit, not because the
accun ulating Treasury deficit is not Sc
rious, but simply because the world has
been given explicit assurances from
both the executive and legislative
branches of the Government that steps
were to be taken in the present Con-
gress-heroic measures, if need be-to
balance the budget; to curtail Govern
ment expenses wherever possible and to
levy new taxes to raise new revenues.
This is the task to which the President
and Congress are giving their attention.
As I said at the outset, 1t Is the most
vital. the most urgent problem before
the Congress.
Non-Partisan Plan Fails.
Leaders in both the House and Sen
ate have been cooperating with the Ad-
ministration in working out non-par-
tisan program. Unfortunately, the nom
partisan program of the leaders in the
House was rejected and practically a
new bill was enacted on the floor of
the House.
What course the Senate will take in
following a non-partisan program re-
mains to be seen. There is apparently
no rivalry between the political party
leaders as to which shall receive credit
or which shall be blamed for the tax
bill There is, however, wide differ
ence of personal opinion as TO where
the burdens of taxation should be
placed; also, as to the particular rates
which are to be levied in the taxing of
incomes, inheritances, luxuries, theater
admissions, stamps, etc. Naturally, too,

their own in the world markets as well.
This. of course. is an impossible under
taking.
Many of the members Of the Senate
who favor a tariff on copper appear TO
have made common cause with Sem
atorS who are fighting for the oil and
coal tariffs disguised as excise taxes.
In Midst Of Fight.
We are in the midst OF that fight at
the moment. The final outcome is still
uncertain. In a series Of roll calls
within the Senate committee a week
ago, the oil and coal taxes in the House
bill were sustained by a narrow margin
and motion was carried to include in
the bill tax of indeterminate amount
on imported copper.
Motions to include tariff taxes on
lumber and other wood products were
rejected In a second series Of roll
calls, later in the week, the coal and
oil tax items were eliminated from the
bill and copper tariff tax proposal
rejected by equally close votes.
This fight will be renewed when the
bill comes before the Senate itself

tax bill as a vehicle for their tariff de-

objective.
In dealing with the tax bill, I believe
we ought to confine our efforts and di-
rect our energies to raising revenues,
to the revision of our tax laws, to the
enactment Of new tax law as prompt
ly as possible, instead of being drawn
into a tariff battle
To all the other adverse business fac
tors, the pendency of the tax bill adds
a still further paralyzing hand on busi-
ness recovery. Our duty to the Treas
ury and the public is to get the reve-
nueS from the new taxes started as soon
as possible. 1t is estimated that it
makes a difference of 500, 200, 600 a
month, every month we delay.
Our duty to the country is to get the
tax question settled, so that industry
may know where it stands with respect
to tax levies, just as speedily as pos
sible.

the Senate bill to replace the revenues

| from normal tax
The Treasury proposed tax of per
cent on all theater admissions over 10
cents. This Eouse bill raised the ex-
emption to As cents, SO as not to take
any added pennies from the families
whose only recreation is the neighbor-
hood movie.
There is one political issue involved
in connection with the tax problem. 1t
is the tariff issue. Democratic leaders,
with few exceptions, are opposed to tar
if duties. Most Republicans in the
Senate favor including tariff duties.
Considerable git lion prevails
throughout the country, also, in favor
of Incorporating certain tariff duties in
the pending measure. Personally, l am
opposed to Incorporating tariff leg.sla-
tion in bill designedly planned to raise
internal revenue. Whatever the merits
or dement's Of the case for a tariff on
Gil, coal and copper may be, the injec-
ton of these things into the tax bill are
delaying the measure, jeopardizing it
and are opening the door to the vicious
log-rOLl1ng and trading which Is ever
the accom- paninent of tariff legislation.
Furthermore, foreign governments,

That some steps may have to be
taken in the near future to adjust our

countries, may become necessary. This

The object of the pending tax bill is
to raise revenue. The object of the
tariff tax proposal is to prevent i'm
ports. Those who are proposing a tax
on oil, coal, copper and lumber insist
that the tax apply only to the importa-
ton of such articles. Should they
agree, which, of course, they do not,
that the same tax be applied to the do
mestic production of oil, coal, copper
and lumber, we would need to look no
where else for revenue The taxes that
the revenue bill proposes to lay on toilet
