GARNER MAY OFFER
HIS OWN TAX PLAN
Speaker to DivuIge 1t Only
if Democratic Pro-
gram Fails.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Speaker Garner said today he had a
tax plan which I think is not quite
as painful" as the proposed increase
IN income taxes, but he declined to
disclose its nature at this time.
The Speaker, discussing the program
which the Democratic leaders talked
over with President-elect Roosevelt last
night in New York, said the House
Ways and Means Committee would not
meet to consider the proposed broad
ening of the income tax base for about
two weeks.
We've got plenty of time" he said
Il understand the beer bill will he sent. sent
to the White House in about two
weeks"
No Positive Agreement.
Garner said the Democrats would
concentrate on plans to balance the
pudget, legalize beer, repeal the eight
eenth amendment and enact farm re-
lief legislation.
Garner said there was no positive
agreement at the New York conference
on an extra session but he added he
went on the presumption that Gov.
Roosevelt will feel it his duty" to call a
special meeting if the program was not
accomplished at this assembly.
We hope that it will not be neces-
sary," the. Vice PreSident-elect said.
The conference, he said. had devel-
oped no new program except the pro-
posal to broaden the base of the income
tax. which would be held in allowance
until final action by President Hoover
on the beer bill now pending in the
Senate.
Same as Early Program.
This four-point program (repeal
beer, farm relief and budget balancing)
Is the same program we formulated
and announced at the opening of the
session." Garner said There has been
no change. Its enactment ought to
make possible an avoidance of a spe-
c1al session of the new Congress after
March A."
Chairman Collier of the WAYS and
Means Committee, and Representative
Rainey OF Illinois, the Democratic floor
leader, both said the income tax pro-
posal would be taken up only as a
last resort. They said they hoped it
would not be necessary.
Senator Pittman of Nevada, one of
those who attended the conference with
Mr.. Roosevelt, said the conferees
agreed that the additional income taxes
would not be pushed until it was found
the extent of the deficit warranted.
The prediction that an extra session
OF the new Congress would be necessary.
II any of the major points in the pro-
gram agreed upon failed at the short
session, was made today by Rainey.
Rainey said it was his understand
ing that If the Democrats succeeded in
getting the beer bill enacted, accom-
plished their goal of 100000 600 in re-
duction of appropriation bills and re-
enactment Of the s137.000,000 gasoline
tax, the broadening of the income-tax
base might be deferred.
1T is my understanding that we are
not going to do it any sooner than we
have to- Rainey said.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, January g.
Grace Goodhue Coolidge was facing
today the heart-rending loss CT her
husband with the same magnificent
courage and poise with which she had
shared Calvin Coolidge's early struggles
and later the burdens of the Chief Ex-
ecutive of the United States.
It was she who was the first to see
her husband on the floor of his dressing
room. She ran downstairs, stopped at
the landing, and called to Harry Ross,
the former Presidents secretary and
friend: my husband Is dead" Her
voice was described by Ross as calm,
although she was greatly affected"
She had been his constant companion
and helpmate from the days when the
young Vermont farmer boy, with job
in local law Office, took her from her
school teaching to be his bride in 1905.
She was 26 at the time
The young newlyweds set up house
keeping in the famed two-family house
which was the Coolidge home all
through the days of his governorship
up to the time he became Vice Presi-
dent, and to which they returned from
the White House. Into this home, as

Publicity for those loans has been q
subject of dispute, both before and after

cation Of loans made subsequent to the

Only recently in the Senate, Norris

although he did not fatty propose
such an investigation.
Speaker Garner was instrumental In
legislation ordering the reports made
public monthly and he, as well as

the facts are known that it win not be

NEW YORK, January 6-Its work
nearing completion, the National Trans
portstion Committee, headed by Calvin
Coolidge, will carry on" Bernard M.
Baruch said last night, lin the spirit In
which he led it."
All that remains Is the preparation
OF a report on the committees survey
OF the country's transportation prob
lens, which win be done, Vice Chair
man Baruch said, "in a manner which
we all hope and believe would have had
his full approval"
When the committee was formed
Walter H. Bennett, president of the
Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank, a
member Of the sponsoring group, said
approximately $4,000, 100000 In rail-
road bonds were in jeopardy Declaring
many OF these bonds were held by
schools, churches, savings banks and
viduals, Bennett said emergency meas
ures would be required to safeguard the
investments.
Baruch Pays Tribute.
Describing Mr. Coolidge's death as a
shock TO the country" Baruch said "it
comes with peculiar poignancy to me,
especially on account of our recent close
association with him In the National
transportation Committee, to which he
gave a full measure of his great ability
and his usual devotion to any public
duty
Although all who were associated
IN tnS WORK. he continued, had occa-
sional contact with him and knew of
his great qualities of mind and heart,
this recent much closer association
gave US an insight into a side of his
character with which I think the public
was not altogether familiar. His care
OF the more homely and personal
associations was Of richness and depth
that was not generally realized
Inc committee has completed its
hearings and is approaching the end of
the program laid out by him. It will
carry on to conclusion in the spirit
IN which he led it and in a manner
which we all hope and believe would
nave had his full approval"
Former Gov. Alfred E. Smith, Clark
Howell, ST., publisher of the Atlanta
Constitution and Alexander Legge,
president of the International Har-
vester Co., were other members of the
committee.
Coolidge Outlines Aim.
AT the organization meeting on Octo-
Der z, Mr.. Coolidge outlined the purpose
OF the committee as follows: while
primarily we are interested in the rail-
roads, any consideration of the great
problem will involve all the methods
of transportation, by water and air
and motor. While. of course, we cannot
tell how long the investigation will last,
1t will be our purposes to finish it with
in three months
The last hearings attended by Mr..
Coolidge were held on December 7, 8
and 8. The next hearing was scheduled
for January IL, following which a re-
port was to be drafted for submission to
the group Of savings banks, insurance
companies, universities and other inter-
ests which sponsored the survey. The
committee members received no COM
pensation.
John w. Power, the secretary, said
Baruch. who automatically succeeds
Mr.. Coolidge as chairman, probably
would call the committee together again
