President Roosevelt wants the
law changed to prevent property
owners checking off high depre-
citation percentages on buildings
in making out income tax re-
turns.
The President gave a vivid ex-
ample of operation of the present
law at his press conference yester-
day. He said that back in 1910 he
bought a farm, which had on it a
house and barn, the latter ap-
praised by the insurance people at
$4,000.
In spite Of the fact that the
barn was built in 1890, Mr.. Roose-
velt explained, the law. allowed
him to check off depreciation on
this barn in making out his in

SALES TAX PLAN
Up IN ILLINOIS

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. IS
(U.SJ.-substitution of a Federal
manufacturers sales tax for all
income taxes was proposed at the
opening of the third special ses-
sion of the legislature as
solution of the major tax problem
that now burdens the people.
Representative Benjamin Adam
owski, Of Chicago, assistant ma
jority floor leader, sponsored the
proposal in the form of a joint
resolution memorializing Congress
to adopt the sales tax method.
The resolution was presented
after Al bills, mostly seeking new
means of raising millions of dol
lars of additional taxes, had been
dumped into the hopper.

Prospects of legislation at this
session to end the issuance Of
tax-exempt bonds faded today
when the Administration blocked
consideration.
With billions Of dollars in new
securities to be floated, the Treas
ury was reported 20 be fearful
of the legislation's effect on the
bond market. At least, legisla-
ton would force higher interest
rates at a time when the Presi-

A hearing scheduled by the

AMENDMENTS
To BANK ACT
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Important amendments to the
banking act of 1888 were recon,
mended to Congress today by
Comptroller Of the Currency j.
F. T. O'Connor for the purpose
Of clarifying the law and Ito
bring it within what was be-
heved to be the intent Of the
Government"
Mr.. O'connor said:
"This legislation as a whole
Is sound and contains, many
much-needed provisions Of law,
but like most major legiSla-
tiOn, application by admins
trative officers reveals certain
features which, in practice,
work in q cumbersome manner
or bring about a situation
which its trainers did not in
tend.
"I recommend, therefore, that
Congress enact corrective and
clarifying legislation"
Less Complex Plan
Under the recommendations it
would become more simple for a
State bank to become a member
Of the Federal system, as they
eventually must do under the
Federal Deposit Insurance Cor
poration system. Mr.. O'Connor
recommended that the State banks
should be permitted by the Comp
troller to carry in their assets on
conversion to national banks,
nonconforming assets acceptable
because of their intrinsic value"
Elimination as affiliateS OF
member banks for certain require
ments of the bank act was recon-
mended as to retail clothing cor
porations, packing companies,
newspapers, lumber yards, steam
ship companies, eleemoSynary IN
Stitutions, churches and certain
other organizations in which mem
ber banks might hold stock.
Leeway Permitted
Under the recommendations
member banks would be permitted
to buy and sell stocks and bonds
for their customers. Mr.. O'Connor
said that such activities would not
constitute the use of bank funds
for that purpose.
Some provisions Of the law
were said to preclude the prob
ability of obtaining the services
Of desirable men with a wide busi-
ness interest as members Of the
directorateS Of banks. Mr.. O'Con-
nor recommended changes in that
regard.

4 Woman S
Viewpoint
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THERE is a good deal of in
Il dignation directed at this
column by persons who seem to
feel that families on permanent
relief-and when I say perman-
ent, mean permanent-should
never be interfered with in the
matter of giving welcome to the
Stork.
To put it very frankly, the opin-
ion prevails that having babies is
just about all the fun left for the
unfortunate poor-and who am I
to question it?
Now that, of course, is one way
of looking at it. My reaction to
the idea is probably cold-blooded,
but I confess to being unmoved
by the protests from men and
women who believe that having
more children than you can sup
port is one way of fulfilling your
obliga ion to God, or by the
placid assurance that in such
matters the desires of the parents
rather than the rights of the child
should be paramount.
It's the children I'm thinking
about. To indulge our lust at the
sacrifice of so much human well
fare seems to me the last, the
very ultimate, self1shness; while
bringing God in as a champion
passes the buck in a truly ignoble
fashion.
What men and women think
about the question makes little
difference, except as their think
ing determines the destinies Of
the children-and right now those
destinieS loom terrible.
I realize the urge, the need, of
every person to perpetuate him.
self, since this is the real purpose
and fulfillment of life, but having
the stork call annually seems be-
side the point.
Some of the correspondents, at
the mere mention of birth control
and as with one voice, cry aloud
at the sin of numbering babies, al
though in one way or another we
seem to be in that business all Of
the time.
When five children in a family
of eleven die from lack of ade-
quate nourishment and care, I
call that murder. When we de-
liberately bring babies into life
in overcrowded quarters, where
disease and pestilence abound,
that, too, I call murder. And
when we get rid of our surplus
population by means of war, I
believe God writes that up, some
where in Heaven, under the same
general term.

expect the same treatment from
him that an all-wise protective
parent would give a dearly be-
loved daughter. If the man had
been accustomed to a more ma
ture companionship, the father
role might irk him somewhat.
If you feel there is any truth in
this guess, you might try to grow
up a little faster. You might study
his interests a little more and see
what you can do in sharing them.
I do not know you at all and have
no idea whether you assume a re-
sponsible attitude toward your
marriage, or whether you expect
to be babied.
If you do require coddling and
constant attention from your hus-
band, then you are trying to car
ry over an infantile situation into
maturity. Your jealousy of the
first wife and other women is the
only bit of evidence I have in
favor of the diagnosis. If you &C
quire an immunity to his be-
haviOr, his thruStS at you through
this source will become pointless.
Instead of nursing hurt feel
ingS because your husband isn't
attentive, you might be more Of
a temptress yourself. and see
what that will do towards keep
ing his eyes at home.

Answer-In your place I should

putting the cart before the horse.
You have no assurance that mar
riage will stabilize him. You have
given me a perfect picture Of an
