PUBLIC HEALTH.
LAW REVISION
FACES HILL
Cooperation With States and
Cities Will Be Basis for
New Legislation
By FRANKLIN G. sARTWELL

Dy r EnfAINAAAGN "s OIAANA "GAA
Disturbed by several recent ex
pSrienceS, some of them involving
the health of Members of Con
gress, members of that body re
turning here in advance of next
weeks convening are casting
about for some means of strength
ening the national public health
laws.
The fact that the action has
been stimulated by the incidents
involving members should not be
accepted as indicating that the
contemplated action is entirely
selfish. The point is that the fact
that the health of the members
has been endangered has led tt
a greater appreciation by the en-
tire membership of the necessity
Of throwing greater precautions
around the health Of the entire
country.
Action Limited
Members who are preparing to
draw up bills designed to accom-
plish the purpose sought, are run
ming into difficulties because Of
constitutional limitations on what
the Federal Government may anc
may not do in regard to public
health.
The field Of action on health is
largely limited to the States BY
the Constitution and, while the
Federal Government maintains
and operates the United States
Public Health Service, the activi
ties of that agency are pretty
rigidly circumScribed.
Interested members Of the
House have about decided that the
best course open to them is tt
strengthen the Public Health
Service by larger appropriations
and a more adequate staff. Their
Congress will enact bills which
will enable this Federal service tt
cooperate" more actively with
the various local health agencie!
in the States and municipalities
Cooperation is Basis
The program will have to bt
worked out on a basis of coopera
ton, but the instances in which
the Federal service has coop
Grated" with community services
in the past give Senators and Rep
resentatives the conviction that
by extending the means of th'
Federal service to cooperate, the!
will be doing a worthwhile piece
of work.
Many of these streams, of course
are such as to lie without the
jurisdiction of the Federal Gov
ernment. Presumably they cam
be cleaned up by anyone but
State authorities.
These local authorities are sc
hard up that they cannot afforc
the expense Of the job of purifica
tion. They would like to have the
work done. They realize that il
is essential that it should be done
But they just can't find the
money with which to do it.
Herein may lie the solution o1
the problem of how to obtair
the necessary cooperation between
local and Federal health au
thorities.

Union Head Sees No Need for
Levy If Fair Lump Sum
Is Provided
"An income tax in the Dis

for Government employees"

"An income tax in the Dis
trict means another pay cut
for Government employees"
E. Claude Babcock, presiden'
of the American Federation oi
Government Employees, said thai
today in voicing opposition tx
the proposed plan of Senator
William H. King CD Of Utah
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, to impose an income
tax on District residents.
Levy Unnecessary
Such a tax would be every
unfortunate" Mr.. Babcock feels
He added:
81 can see no need for fur
ther taxes. Certainly there
would be no need if the Fed
eral Government assumed its
fair share of the cost Of the
municipal government, from
which it derives great benefits.
"It would seem to me bad
economies for the Government
units to enter the same field
Of taxation. There is no justi-
ficatlOn for duplication Of tax
alton. And if Congress should
inflict an income tax on the
District it would be guilty Of
double taxation.
[. GROUPS HERE
"There are three groups OF
citizens in Washington. The
largest group is that Of the Gov
ernment employees. The next is
that group Of employees Of COM
mercial firms who depend for
their living on the business OF
&he Government employees.
"The third group are squat
ters,' retired persons who come
here to make their living, so
cialiteS, and others Of that class.
"An income tax in the District
would be nothing more than an
other pay cut TO the Govern
ment workers. And a further
tax on the merchants would re"
fleet in the diminishing purchas-
ing power of the dollar.
at is only the third and COM
paratively unimpOrtant group
which would not be injured to
any extent by such a tax.
CITIZENS POWERLESS
"These residents Of the Dis
trict should have something to
saw about the tax situation, but
they have not. They are denied
the vote and are at the mercy
of Congress in this matter
which affects their lives so vi
tally"
Senator King, who for severa
years has advocated an income
tax for the District, today ex
planned that the matter rests VIII
the House. He said:
"The Senate, even if it desires
an income tax, would be power.
less in the matter. Tax legiSla-
ton must originate in the
House."
Senator King added that if thu
income tax should be placed in Ell
feet, the Intangible personal prop
erty tax should be repealed.
Aims at Big Incomes
Tax experts differ with thu
Senator in this, stating that such
q change would merely shift thu
tax burden from the upper to thu
middle classes.
Senator King said 1t was not hi
intention to tax small-salaried resi-
dents of the District, but to make
those with large incomes pay
greater share.
He expressed the opinion thai
ell States would eventually pass
State income taxes.

Roosevelt Assails
New Deal Critics

Washington. April 17.-(PEIn his
new book "On Our Way" President
Roosevelt has this to say about per-
sons who like DR.. William A. Writ Of
Gary, Ind, have described parts Of
his administration program as revolu-
tionary:
"Some people have sought to de-
scribe that policy (the administra-
tons policy as revolutionary. Per-
haps 1t is. It is revolutionary, how
ever, only in the sense that the meas
ures adopted and the purposes that
they seek differ from those that were
used before.
If it Is a revolution, 1t is q peace
full one, achieved without violence. !. !.
Some people have called our new
policy 'Fascism.' It is not Fascism
because its inspiration springs from
the mass Of the people themselves
rather than from q class or group or
q marching army. -.
Some people have called It Com
munism;;' it Is not that either. It is
not driving RECOMMENDATION founded
upon the plans Of q perpetuating d.
rectorate which subordinates the
making Of laws and the processes of
the courts to the orders Of the execu-
tive"
