ton to repair a machine that has
produced millions of unemployed,
he said.
IF the technocrats do no more
than start people to thinking they
will perform a great service. It's
just too bad to have some ele-
mentS starting a campaign Of rid
icule," he stated.
I'VE all hope the discovery Of
chemists and technologists will go
still further and make work. But
none of those plans I've read take
the time element into considera-
ton.
What consolation is it to mil
lions of workers who have had no
regular employment for the last
four or five years to be told that
some time in the future technol-
ogists will find new things in the
production of which people may be
employed?'

Japanese air corps forces
at Mukden had been dis
patched to the scene, it was
announced. =
The Chinese, the report said, had
dynamited a railroad bridge three
kilometers west of Shanhaikwan.
The japanese occupied the main
gate of the ancient walled city,
which is the gateway into China.
Shortly thereafter there was
heavy hand-to-hand street fighting,
the reports said. 1t continued dur
ing the fight
The Japanese claimed that the
Chinese had violated the neutrality
agreed on after the Japanese occu-
patton of Chinchow, and subsequent
operations.
It was reported that Marshal
Chang Hsueh Liang had cGslcen-
trated six brigades of troops on the
Jehol border, fearing japanese oc-
cupation of Jehol. Such occupation
was believed possible, with japanese
in control of Shanhaikwan, a coast
railroad city.
Japanese concentrations near that
city were unknown. They were be-
lieved to be heavy. because of re-
ported Chinese concentrations there.
Japanese armored trains have been
active in the vicinity within the last
fortnight.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.-Confu-
sion like that which befuddled the
last session of congress after it
r'ared up and licked the sales tax
marks the situation now as the
house ways and means committee
prepares to start its study of fed
eral fiscal policies. It's hearings
start the week.
The sales tax was proposed again
to the horror" of PreSident-Elect
Roosevelt. That killed it; and as
the result there is not the least
unanimity of opinion on whether
there should be new taxes and, if so,
what sort.
Some order may result from the
impending conference between
Speaker Garner and Mr.. Roosevelt;
but, meanwhile, every sort of tax
under the sun-except the general
sales tax-is being seriously dis
cussed by one bloc and another.
There is that group, for instance,

FLOOD WATERS
IN STATE DROP
Southern Indiana Highways
Still Blocked; Save Six
From Death.

High water that threatened sew
eral sections Of Indiana with floods
over the weekend was receding to-
day, although roads, principally in
the southern section of the state
still are blocked to traffic
Weather reports showed that
White river was falling in and
north of Indianapolis. At Seymour
where rise OF water was rapid, the
river had dropped.
The east and west branches of
White river still were rising in the
southern part of the state.
With no rain in prospect for the
next twenty-four hours, high wa
tiers probably will recede speedily
in all parts of Indiana.
Parents and their four children
were rescued from an island at
the northeast edge of Connersville
Saturday when the Whitewater
river went over its banks.
Residents of the town came to the
rescue of Mr.. and Mrs. Grover Will
liams and the children after the six
had spent the night on an island,
suffering from the rain and snow.
Only a few bed clothes protected
them.
The family had been living in a
shack on the river bank, but were
forced to fee when the waters
spread. During the rescue, Mrs. Will
liams fell against the side of the
boat. causing it to upset. The young
est boy twice had disappeared under
the water before he was saved.

Solution of Tax Problem

variation of this general idea is re-

which would approximate a gen.

Still other members Of congress
would levy taxes on patents, and on

Senator James Couzens (Rep.,
Mich), is still intent on levying an
income tax approximately equal to
Great Britain's.
Finally. there is the large group
that wants to levy no new taxes at
all except those on beer, hoping to
bring balance to the federal budget
by drastic economies.

Few persons would obligate them
selves to payment of So account if
they knew that it was possible, be-
fore final settlement, for the cost
to increase to $15.25.
Neither would they knowingly as
sumo $500 obligation, for final
settlement of which $2015 would be
demanded.
Yet, in Indianapolis, such circum-
stances are occurring and the entire
story is written in the records of the
office of Charles L. Sumner, Marion
county sheriff.
At the present time there are ap-
proximately 1000 cases in the
county in which creditors have made
use of the state garniShee law to
secure payment of accounts. Each
pay day 10 per cent of the salaries
or wages of the debtors is deducted
by employers and paid to the
sheriff's office.
Sometimes Below Dollar
Many times the payment is less
than dollar, because the law per-
mits not more than 10 per cent
deduction and the snrunken pay en-
velope can yield no more to the legal
reckoning.
True indeed, is the old saying that
the wheels of justice turn slowly, but
in the case of the garnishee law the
cost of turning the wheels is eXpen-
Sive-to the debtor
The answer to the appalling final
total, which confronts the debtor of
a small account is found in court
costs and fees which may swell the
account to six times its original size

President Manuel Quezon of the
Philippine senate, is bitterly hos
tile to accepting independence upon
the conditions named. That he
may have majority of the legiS-
lators behind him is indicated by
the fact that he received their APP

dent Commissioners Guevara and
Osias, and the independence dele

mena, now in the capital, likewise

the Philippines.
RoXaS is Speaker of the lower
house and Osmena has shared lead
erShip in the senate with President
Quezon for more than a decade.
They favor the bill.
Led by Senator Quezon, the Phil
lppines legislature, sitting as an in
dependence commission, already has
engaged In stormy debate over the
issue. Apparently, that body some

insistence, a resolution Of nom

Forces Evenly Divided
If President Hoover approves the
act and it goes before the insular
legislature for final approval or re-
lection, Commissioners Guevara
and Osias and Messrs. Osmena and
Roxas will defend it against Presi-
dent Quezon and others opposing.
So evenly divided appear the forces
pro and con, that anything can
happen.
Sentiment in the Philippines is
reported practically 100 per cent in
favor of immediate independence.
The bill now lying on President
Hoover's desk proposes it for ten
years after the legislature of the
islands ratifies it. This delay, &C
cording to a cable received by the
mission here, is the principal fea-
ture found irksome.

BY RUTH FINNEY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-If de-
inocracy survives the present period
'of severe social stress, it will sur
Nive in a modified form dominated
bby different attitudes toward prop
'erty and toward human beings.
This is the conclusion of Presi-
ident Hoover's research committee
ION social trends made public today
after four years study of the whole
sweep of modern life in the twen-
tieth century.
The committees survey Of fun
damental dangers and problems in
development leads it to conclude
that there is no assurance that vio-
lent revolution, dark periods of
Serious repression of libertarian and
democratic FORMS" can be averted
'unleSs there can be a more i'm
lpressive indignation of social skills
and fusing of social purposes than
lis revealed by recent trends"
But, it adds, in considering the
movement of American democra-
Cy and its collective competence, it
is important not to lose sight of
specific and. basic tendencies re-
vealed in this report and bearing di-
rectly on the future of our institu-
tons.
Stress Large Scale Work
zone of these is the habituation
'of the American people to large
scale organization and planning in
industry, keenly appreciated by the
Soviets, another is the American
tendency to make relativel prompt
Use of the latest fashions in science
and technology; the lack of sharply
defined and permanent classes or
castles obstructing either economic
or governmental change, and finally,
1.-THE wide prevalence of democratic
ATTITUDES and practices in social
life"
The committee adds: "An inter
probation which seems to have a
margin of advantage is that of the
prospect of continuance efs the
democratic regime, with higher
standards of achievement, with a
more highly unified and stronger
government, with sounder types of
civic training, with a broader social
program, and a sharper edged pur-
lpose to diffuSe more promptly and
more widely the gains of our civili-
ization, with control over social and
economic forces better adapted to

time, with less lag between social
changes and governmental adapta-
tiion and with more provision and
