LONDON, June IL O.N.SO
Unaccustomed as I am to public
writing, I am on my way to the
66-ring circus, generally known
as the world economic conference,
and to report it for international
News Service.
This is my first-yeS and
know it may be my last-attempt
as a scribe, but I'd like to make
a good job of telling my Amer.
ican readers Of the proceedings
of the big band of brainy
brothers.
But I must do it in my own
way, unaided by any tricks of
the trade, so if you're going to
string along with me, you'll have
to learn to take it as I had to
take it for years.
Job Is No Sinceure
I was not in town an hour

job is no sinecure for me.

someone swaps me two for it;

TAX LAW QUIZ
ISAUTHOR|ZED
BY HOUSE

Plans for a sweeping investiga.
ton Of the Federal tax laws was
approved by the House Ways and
Means Committee today as a re-
suit Of the Senate investigation
OF j. P. Morgan and Company.
Representative Doughton CD
Soutr Carolina, chairman, was
authorized to name special SUBJ
committee of seven to conduct
the inquiry during the summer
recess.
To Convene Nov. Is
The entire committee will re-
convene probably about Novem-
ber Is and devote six weeks
before the next regular session of
Congress to revising the laws.
The committee investigation
was authorized by the House with
committee members promising to
plug loopholes in the law.
Speaker Henty T. Rainey OF the
House today demanded complete
revision of the Federal tax laws.
Rainey, one of the authors Of
the original income tax law in
1918, proposed gross income
tax to keep multimillionaires
from avoiding Federal taxes
through deduction of business
losses. Other leaders, particu-
larly Senator Reed (R.) Of Penn
Sylvania, suggested adoption Of
a general sales levy, with neces-
sites exempted, to reach the tax
dodgers.
Congress is Shocked
The fact that none of the Nor
gan partners paid any income
taxes in 1881 or 1882 literally
shocked Congress. They escaped
taxation by charging off heavy
capital losses against their actual
profits, which ran into millions of
dollars.
Touching on these revelations,
Speaker Rainey said:
There is only one remedy,
and that is gross income
tax law. 1t might be arranged
to apply lightest on the less
wealthy and perhaps become
an auxiliary to our present
system. There would have to
be exemptions, say on incomes
up to $4,000 or $4,000, with
the gross income tax reaching
the big incomes.
"PeOple will never be salts
fled with a system where a
man can build a 100000
yacht and pay no tax. A gross
income tax law looks like a
capital levy but is not"

FIRE PREVENTION.

National Fire Prevention Week. which ends to- morrow ought to be more generally observed thah it is That is indicated by the staggering JOSS sur ferred every year in the United States rom ines Last year it totaled $406885 959. The year peIore that was more than $450000000 It is the greatest in the world. The per capita loss m American cities is given at s222 as compared to 85 cents for English cities.
 These figures are revealing The unfavorable showing cannot be laid to types of construction useo in American building as they are at least not inferior to that in English cities Our fire flghung organizations are highly organized, competently manned and are equipped with the latest devices for combating flames. The greater congestion oi population in our centers has something to oo Wtn it for where people crowded together ln small areas fire hazards multiply rapidly Possibly too' the Englshman is not careless in as many ways as we are. In the evolution of his towns he mas long ago learned the value of prevention of fres' nossbly to greater degree than has the average American.
 Whatever be the reason the relative position in respect fire losses in the two countries IS ho' one for America to take pride in. The fact that cur losses are the highest in the entire world IS a disgrace More and education of the puonc to the necessity of eliminating firetraps, of eradcat- ing carelessness in the handling of inflammaole materials and the use of fire itself is needed
 That is true in Juneau as well as everywhere else Here, in the Juneau Volunteer Fire Depart ment we have as efficient an organization as can be found almost anywhere to fight fire. AS was pointed out at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon this week their honor, its record is as fine as can be found anywhere It is an outstanding fact that this city has never had serious con- flagration such almost every seaport city mas experienced one or more times in its history. We have had the start of such catastrophe on more than one occasion but it nipped before 1t could make headway.
 The community is rightfully proud of it's Fire Department that score. It is equally proud oi it for it's civic activities, the part it has played III playground development and the support of clear athletics This week it is again proving its civic mindedness by sending it's members to the puph1 and other schools to talk on fire prevention In SC doing, if it can inculcate ideas that will preven even one fire in the city that might otherwise happen through ignorance or carelessness, IL VII have rendered greater service than in extlngulsn ing burning building.
 What the Department is imparting to the schoo pupils each of us likewise learn and impart u others It is as much the duty of every reslden as that of the Bremen. If we perform 1t as wei as they are doing our fires will be fewer our prop erty losses lighter our insurance rates lower, ant the lives of all of made more safe.

SHOULD ADVANCE LEGISLATIVE
 DATE.

In the current weekly letter from the otflce of Delegate Dimond it is announced that the Dele gate has prepared bill for introduction as soon as Congress meets in January which provides for ao- vancng the date for holding general elections in the Territory to early in September. The reason for this is the fact that Congress in the future Will convene in January instead of December and Alaska delegate if November elections continued could hardly qualify for office by the time Congress meets.
 This fact fully realized by the local Legis- lature last Spring To correct the situation, It memorialized Congress to amend the Organic Act to set the election date forward to the second Tuesday in September. That is just what the bill Delegate Dimond has in mind will do.
 However, the Legislature asked for another change which the Delegates measure does not provide for, or if it does, it was not mentioned in the news letter. It requested Congress, also, to change the time for the biennial session of the Legislature to meet early in January
 There were two reasons for this suggested change. First, it is convenient for the local lawmakng body to be in session at the same time Congress ls Experience has shown it facilitates legislative acton at times when it is badly needed Then too, January is more convenient time than March for Legislators from other sections of the Territory. Business men, mining and others attend the March-Aprl sessions at some personal sacrifice Springtime IS the season when they must r;<pare for the busy summer months and often hardshps have been worked on members of previous sessions that account The January session would correct that
 If the Delegates bill does not already contain that provision he would be wise to add section to cover Congress should have objection to it, and most Alaskans are in favor Of it.

When Winter Comes.
(Boston News Bureau.)


 That coming is about the surest sta'istcai prognosis we have With October barely week away it is none too early to envsage US purse demands in the fifth winter since the sad ldes o1 November, 1929
 The fact is not lost sight of in Washington, any more than is the other insubstantlal pres sure of nflationist agitation. The winters re- curing charity requirements were the subject or organized discussion by agencies of benevolence some time since Now Government counsel to these booles is given edge by new Administration plans to play almoner, in terms of many dollars.
 On Friday there was announced the program for such buying of cotton foodstuffs and other staples to the tune of $75,000000 for direct relief in distributions to the destitute, with coal added on Saturday to that prospective list, at need There are both hunger and cold to be guarded against, with garments and fuel eking out food. That ex- pensive but needful public generosity is expected to serve a double purpose with flip also to certain producers, with Uncle Sam underwater and donor.
 The Relief Administration and the R. F. c. could handle and finance all this. Then there is that other relief through acceptance of the principle of lending to cotton planters up to 10 cents pound on cotton held by them, as conditioned upon curailment pledges under the gospel of partial destruction Less cotton might well hush the camor for more currency
 But that is not all the story Uncle Sam cannot and will not do it all The President has indicated as much to the mayors meeting in Chicago; now Relief Administrator Hopkins makes it blunty clear when he tells them that the burden will lap far over the Federal half available, and that if our lesser government units slack" the job, the consequences may be serious.
 Charity must palpably begin at home; and that effort must be recognized and met until this winter of our discomfort shall fade.

Others who have followed the Ford
philosophy suggested that in his present
attitude he is but giving another mani
festation of his "go-it-alone" policy.
This policy had its inception in 1919,
when Ford bought out all his early
partners and made the company a
purely family corporation.
He gave the philosophy its first real
test in the bleak years for the automo-
bile industry that came in 1921-22,
when he refused Wall Street aid-on
its own terms-and through drastic
merchandising programs pulled his
company out Of the difficulties that be-
set all industry at that time.

August 19.-Elated by the last-minute
enrolment Of the key industries
and steel-behind his new deal for
shorter working hours and higher wages,
President Roosevelt rode happily home
tonight to resume his vacation.
In a dramatic last-minute push, the
President and his industrial admins
traitor, Hugh S. johnson, established the
new order for these giant businesses
after weeks of pickering among the rival
groups within them.
Less than an hour before he left the
White House MIR. Roosevelt received
the hard-driving johnson, who hurried
in with the important oil and steel
codes.
Dropping his preparations for depart

fair practice charters Of two of Ameri-

for the widespread lumber industry and
its workers.

Oil Code Allowing

Mighty oil, torn by weeks of conflict
over price control, was brought fully
into the recovery campaign in trade

last night just before he departed for
Hyde Park, N. Y.
Days of controversy over the program,
to become effective September 2, were
smoothed out in the last few hours by
Hugh s. johnson, industrial admins
traitor, and the plan was accepted by
the majority of the industry.
Advocates of rigid Federal price fix
ing, who wanted cost levels determined
from well mouth to automobile. agreed
in a long night session with johnson to
abide by the program, which they felt
did not 60 far enough their way. Ac-
companying their agreement was res
ervation that Mr.. Roosevelt consider a
number of recommendations urging full
price regulation. Opponents Of price
control accepted the program and only
one dissenting faction failed to agree.
Independents Opposed.
This group. led by Jack Blalock of
Marshall, Tex, consisting of faction
of Independents, fought vainly against
the production control section. which it
contended allowed the Government to

Despite the objections of this faction,

which agreed to 1t.
