Davenport sharply criticized the
tax returns.
II can understand that the pub
licity of corporate income, under
wise restraint, is quite in the public
interest" he said. But save In ex-
ceptional circumstances and under
rigid regulation, I cannot conceive Of
the publicity of private incomes
throughout America doing anything
de but play into the hands of the
kidnaper and the blackmailer."
Earlier in the day, convention dele
gates at round-table discussion
heard the Wagner unemployment in
surance bill assailed as Legislative
Skuldruggery." This characterizat ton
was hurled at the measure by Fred
H. Clausen, Horizon, Wis, manufac-
turer. in deprecating the rising tide
of taxation.
The bill. which provides for a S
per cent levy on pay rolls Of all en-
ployers would bring lust another
milestone around the neck of COM
merce and industry" the speaker
said.
Clausen declared that almost every
conceivable type of tax imposition has
been used" to cope with the mounting
public debt. Denial Is made" he
amplified, that a sales tax is a
good tax policy, but in 1888 from
10 different kinds of articles and SER
vices $229, 100000 was levied and
collected. The fact Is, we have a
sales tax and we will have more of
it. Necessity will force its general
use when other means fail"
Declared Milestone of Progress.
At another round table, where for
eign trade was under consideration,
DR.. Wallace Mcclure, of the State
Department, described the pending
reciprocal tariff bill as "a milestone
of this type of government progress +"
The same group heard John G..
Geddes. vice president of the National

that 1T is time the United States
developed and maintained a consist
ent foreign trade policy"
up to the present time" he said.
I'VE have only too often been in
clined to turn hurriedly toward ex-
port probabilities when domestic
markets dried up, but to overlook
foreign opportunities when domestic
markets revived. We should now
endeavor to develop a sense of busi-
ness on a worldwide basis, consider
ing sales possibilities in Hong Kong,
London, or Rio de Janiero, in as
matter -of-fact a manner as we would
regard markets in Philadelphia or
