One OF the scores of primitive
practices still In vogue among the
Araucanians Is the curing OF disease
BY driving our devils. and the sor.

mons are highly reVered members
OF the tribe. The machi's uniform

profession Is ladderlike post placed
in front OF her house with steps cut
into 1t and branches of the sacred
canelo tied to the top.
During q treatment the machi
mounts these steps. chants. makes

and shortened hours Of labor; in
word. substantial increases in produc-
ton cost. which could only be met by
substantial increases in volume of out
put and at least some rise in prices.
Heretofore recovery after a depres-
sion has begun with the emergence
of an increased demand for goods,
producing a rise in prices followed
first by an increased employment and
then, after definite lag, by the in
creased wages necessary to meet ris-
ing prices and justified to employers
by their rising income. 1t was the
conservative position that our recov-
cry must wait upon this process. The
exponents of the New Deal proposed
to reverse this order for two reasons
social justice and necessity.
Demands Of Necessity.
Necessity demanded an immediate
increase Of employment and mass
purchasing power. More millions were
unemployed than had ever walked the
streets before. Cities and States were
practically bankrupt. Three years of
Evening star., 1934-02-27

produced Inconsistencies, inadeuua-
cies. and injustices, easily subject to
public misunderstanding. 1t has
been very easy for the partisans of
any economic theory or any special
interest to attack the N. r. A. in
some phase Of its operations
In fact. practically every policy and
every code has been open to attack
from some quarter. Employers could
accuse us of unduly favoring organ
lied labor because We upheld the stat
utory right OF self-organizatiOn OF
labor Labor could protest bitterly
that we permitted employers to exer-
else the right OF industrial self-gOv-
ernment by management. which was
clearly affirmed in the law. Producers
could argue that We were imposing in
creased labor costs through minimum
wages and maximum hours and We
must prevent unfair price cutting and
protect necessary price increases or
they could not meet their higher pro-
duction costs. Consumers could argue
that higher prices were being imposed
through combinations of producers
and insist that in some miraculous
manner We should elevate the work.
ers' standard Of living without in
creasing the prices Of his products.
Question of Profits.
Underlying many of these COM
plants of consumers was the idea
that excessive profits Of the postwar
boom could be rediStributed in such a
way as to increase the workers reward
without increasing the consumers
bill. But the post-ws boom had been
followed by years of depression in
which producers and manufacturers
had cut prices and wages frantically
in an effort to keep operating and to
avoid bankruptcy. until it was diff
cul to find an industry in which pre-
vailing prices were adequate to cover
costs that included a fair reward for
labor
1t is well to recall attention to the
universal demand in the Spring of
1888 for increased commodity prices.
1t was well recognized then that
wages and prices were Siamese twins
and that they starved or grew healthy
together and never separately. 1t was
not the farmer alone who was selling
at a loss. The great manufacturing
and mercantile businesses were also
running in the red. Yet the primary
requirements of all codes of fair COM
petition were higher minimum wages
Evening star., 1934-02-27

sinking business and closing banks
had wiped out the savings and sur
pluses from which private charitable
relief might come. 1t was necessary
at once to enlarge buying power and
to re-employ millions of idle men, to
revive our confidence in ourselves by
a universal rallying of all business, by
uniting all trade and industry in
what would amount to an extension

for q genuine and solid business re.
vival which has cheered us through
this Winter and prepared the way
for a sure and steady advance during
the Spring Of 1884.
Thus we can say accurately and
with satisfaction that the first phase,
the purely emergency phase of the
Industrial recovery program, has

was a signal success. Indeed the an
ticipation of rising prices and in
creased purchasing power produced .

aided and then threatened to ruin
the program. Happily this stock
market prosperity Of the Summer Of
1888 did not last; and in the apparent
recession through the Autumn the

Young Negroes Confess
Theft Before Police
Knew of 1t.

Credit for the quickest and most
amusing arrest of the year was be-
ing claimed today by Sergeant Mar
tin Fahey.
Informed that several Negroes
suspected of sending in false fire
alarms were staying in a rooming
house at 327 West Thirteenth street,
the sergeant stationed his squad
outside the house early today and
then walked in.
AS he opened the door, he saw
three Negroes inside.
"Oh, oh, the police; I did it.
sergeant, 1 did it" one of the Ne
groes, Paxton Howard, Is, of 122
Cora street, mcaned, according to
Fahey.
"Of course you did, and you
might as we'll tell me all about it,
said Sergeant Fahey, referring to
the false fire alarms.

Republican support was assured
for the bill, and for the gag rule"
which the committee will ask for
its consideration. BY week from
Tuesday the monumental tax legis-
lation should be passed on to the
senate. The proposed gag would
permit only committee amendments
to the measure, but permit steam"
to be blown off in sixteen hours of
general debate, which translated
into sessions means four days.
Under the bill the nuisance tax
on checks will be abolished the first
of the year.
A salaried man earning $4,000 a
year now pays an income tax of
$29. He would pay only SO under
the pending measure. due to a pro-
vision permitting persons with
earned incomes up to $4,000 to de-
duct 10 per cent of their income
before calculating their pay.
In addition all taxpayers who
earn their total income" are helped
by lower surtaXeS. A man earning
100000 would pay in total, surtaX
and normal per cent income levy,
$29,778. Today he pays $4,000.
The change is made possible by
the new surtaX brackets which |
force the tax burden increases over
on the taxpayers who get most of |
their income from stock dividends |
or partially tax exempt securities. |
For instance, 100000 income, half |
earned half from dividends, would |
mean payment of $27,778 under the
new proposals, compared with $685.
100 at present.
The provisions taxing personal
holding companies, increasing the
tax on filing of consolidated returns,
and restricting corporate reorgani-
cations, were aimed specifically at
preventing tax evasions by the
wealthy.
