THE CRoSsFIRE ON THE TAXPAYER
(By BRUCE CATTON)

When the 48 governors meet with Mr..
Z Roosevelt at the White House after the in
auguration, they will underline once moro
the woes that descend upon the head of
the tax-gatherer in a depression.
There are many things for the governors
and the president to discuss, but one Of
the most important, undoubtedly, IS the
matter of overlapping state and federal
taxes.
Ordinarily, the state government dives
into one of John Citizens pockets for its
money and the federal government dives
into the other. But in the last few years
they have shown a tendency to dive to-
gether into the same pocket. The House
WAYS and Means Committee has discOv-
cred 326 Implications between state and
federal taxes, and now that times are bad
these Implications are beginning to pinch.
When you buy gasoline. for instance,
you pay state tax and federal tax; and
in some places you pay city and county
tax as we'll. When you buy cigarettes you
pay federal tax, and in 13 states you also
pay a state tax. The federal government
taxes theater tickets, bond and stock Is
sues, tickets to boxing matches, and so on
many state governments do likewise.
The result is that the citizen gets hit
twice in the same place. The indirect tax,
whose great virtue is that the taxpayer
can't feel it, can be felt quite plainly when
this happens.
And yet it is a whole lot easier to say,
Let's end all of this duplication" than
it is to do it. Our various governments are
up against problem Of monumental pro-
portions.
1t is imperative that they reduce taxes
substantially. 1t is also imperative that
they spend lot of money on projects to
take care of the jobless and help bring the
depression to an end. These two impera-
tives clash head-On in a way that would
make Solomon himself grow gray-haired
trying to find solution.
What's the answer? That is what the
president and the governors have got to
figure out; and it is a safe bet that they
are going to feel older, wiser and weariel
before they get the job done.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. it as
w they may, the Congressional
Record is still gocd for few
laughs in nearly every issue.
Most censorship is performed
by the members themselves, in or
der that they may be recorded as
expressing themselves more accu-
rately, more beautifully or more
smiahiy toward fellow members
shan they actually did in debate.
When a member says damn"
or hell" the official reporters ap-
parently delete the word in the
interests Of public morals or
something. But if such word is
used in story or something else
that is being quoted. it stays in.
When Senator Tydings of Mary
land said ITO hell with this job"
the phrase was left out entirely.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas
told of the Texas orator, cant
paigning for the late Senator Joe
Bailey, who kept interspersing a
political speech with the rhetori-
CHI demand, "Who is Joe Bailey?"
until someone in the crowd yelled
"I'!l bite, who in hell is Joe
Bailey2" That was left in.
Other little lines that nave been
left in lately:

SoIons Switch Time for

The Times-News Bureui'
Sir WnlLer Hotel

RALEIGH, Feb. 1.-THE sem
ate and house have gone back to
the noon meeting hour, in spite
of congested calendars, largely
because few members Of few
committees that meet in the
mornings do not want to hold
their committee meetings before
10 o'clock. These noon sessions
are resulting either in hurried
and thoughtless legislation or in
the postponement of action on
the more important measures.
The noon sessions really in
terfere with the afternoon COM
mittee meetings much more than
an earlier meeting time would
hamper morning meetings, many
agree, since they often require
postponement Or complete can
collation. of afternoon committee
meetings. But little thought
seems to be given to this fact.
Usually the members of either
house are so anxious to adjourn
that they will vote to adjourn to
any hour proposed by whoever
makes the motion-and it is
usually made by someone who
does not want to meet until
noon.
About the only committees now
holding regular morning sessions
are the subcommittee of the
joint finance committee, working
on the revenue bill and the judi
ciary committees. But those
favoring an earlier meeting hour
maintain that these committees
could meet at 9 o'clock instead
of at 10 Or II o'clock, as they
have been doing, and thus make
ness and professional women. AL
though it has not strayed entirely
from that idea, the emphasis has
changed from how business wom-
en- can improve their own state
