NNOVyEbSh, IUOOt bN Shlteu hEtSS)
 Washington, Feb 10--UP)-- up in the new Roosevelt adminis- tratlon will be whether 1t Is de- slrable to hit the taxpayer twice in the same place.
 Reports to tho United Press from throughout the country indi- cate this doubling up process. with the federal and state governments both taxing the same items, is in- creaslng. In Indiana, for instance. bills providing for sales, income and tobacco taxes are pending. The oregon legislature also Is considering n sales tax.
 Presldent-clect Roosevelt has in- vited all state governors to meet with him on tho first working day after his inauguration. This dou- ble taxation problem will be one of the foremost on the agenda.
 Double taxation results from tho scramble of the state and federal governments to get at the few dol- lars left in the pockets of the tax payers.
 A special investigation for tho house and means committee has disclosed 326 Implications between federal and state taxes.
 Mr Roosevelt as a member Of the governors conference during his two terms as governor of New York has heard much discussion of the consequences of these dupli- cations. 1t is argued that they are not only irritating but result some- times in overlooking convenient sources of revenue.
 Complaint Is being made on this score about tho gasoline tax. State officials have objected to the recent invasion of this field by tho federal government.
 In Mobile, Ala, for instance. when the automobile owner puts a gallon of gasoline in his tank he pays tho following taxes: federal, l cent; state, 6 cents; county h cents; city, l cent, total 0H cents. Figuring ordinary gasoline at 10 cents n gallon, that iS almost q 100 per cent tax.
 Thirteen states add their own taxes to those of the federal gov- crnment on cigarettes. Whether cigarettes arc a necessity or a lux ury is a matter of individual taste. On m ordinary 15 cent package of cigarettes the federal tax iS 6 cents.

U. S. Coast Airports
Are Exposed to Enemy
To the Editor of The Star:

TO the EDITOR OF Tne star:
The other evening Assistant Secre-
tary Of the Navy Roosevelt spoke Of
Adequate Navy Protection" for the
U. S. A. When he spoke Of enemy
airplanes flying in from outlying ships
the thought came into my mind that
perhaps these enemy planes would not
bomb our airports. For example:
A line of enemy ships are lying
several hundred miles of the coast
Of New York City. These ships are
powerful enough to protect themselves
against the ships Of the United States
Navy and are susceptible only to the
attack of our airplanes, which fly. out
from Mitchell Field and Floyd Bennett
Airport.
Now, if our airplanes are making
trouble for the enemy commander,
don't you think that he will endeavor
to ground them? Therefore. he will
order his bombing planes to destroy
the runways at both of these fields in
order to prevent planes from either
arising or alighting.
Our planes will then be out Of COM
mission as they would had they been
struck by gunfre.
do not know If the thought has
ever occurred to our military strate-
gists that an air base, II bombed, be-
comes useless for flying purposes.
I would suggest that an engineer
ing detail" be maintained at our air
bases, whose duty would be to repair
-'sheli holes" caused by the explosion
of enemy air bombs.
The necessary equipment would con-
sist of speedy tractors with SNOW
plow" attachments. These tractors
would push back into the holes the

dollar" But, as President Green re-
minds labor, when the worker earns
a dollar he wants to be sure that dollar
Is a real dollar and that 1t does not
represent to him q reduction in buying
power" The dishonest dollar most
feared by those who look for wholesome
recovery by increasing the purchasing
power of those who buy is the dollar
which by debasement is so shrunken as
to leave the wage Garner helpless.
AS President Green said:
Labor knows that this Is q problem
Imitation Of the currency that affects
us very vitality because we know that
when dollars are cheapened commodity
prices rise, but wages stand still. Until
they can assure labor that we will get
more Of these cheap dollars for the days
work we perform, so that it will con-
form to the increase of commodity
prices, 1t is my Judgment that we will
stand unf1inchingly against imitation.
We have mt forgotten how our workers
in other nations in Europe suffered be-
cause 1t required on some occasions an
amount OF money that would fill a
bushel basket in order to buy lust an
ordinary commodity. We do not want
to go through that. because, as I have
said, wages remain stationary, while
commodity prices go up.
OF course, nobody can assure labor
that with imitation more cheapened
dollars will be paid for the days work
so that the dollars would conform to
the increase in commodity prices" All
history shows that does not happen.
Nothing in the program of the infia-
tionists has indicated that it would, or
could, happen. Organized labor prop
erly belongs in the ranks Of sound
money" men, keenly awake to the evils
inherent in currency debasement, stand
Ing "unf1inchingly against imitation"
