visions mentioned above. 1t was pre-
dicted at that time that the Senate
would have something further to say,
and not only did that happen, but
the strong sentiment of

yielded to the Senate upon most points

the bill promises to include the stiff

secure a return to the wartime top

he failed. He did succeed, however,
in writing into the bill reform in

tried for years to incorporate into our
lax laws. These taxes will be the

Not only will such tax, properly
administered, be productive of greatly
increased revenues to the Treasury
over a period of years, but it will also
perform the economic service of tend
ing to break up some. of the colossal
fortunes which are handed down from
generation to generation in this coun-
try. And it may be stated that even
these rates, high as they seem when
compared with present and former
rates of taxation, are distinctly in the
nature of compromise with many
thinking Legislators who would have
set the figures even higher on all for
tunes in excess of million dollars
in value.
The Senate did add one amendment.
sponsored by Senator Couzens. which
the House cOnferees recommend be
rejected by the House, and a record
vote will probably be permitted in the
House when the report of the con-
ferees is considered. That is for a
horizontal ten per cent increase in
the tax bill of every income taxpayer.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1934-05-03

Thus, citizen paying tax of $50
for this year would automatically, for
this one year, as recovery offering"
add a five-dollar bill; the individual
paying $4,000 would add $4,000.
There is much sentiment for it in the
House. and it is possible that it will
be accepted, on the theory that any
who in these times are fortunate
enough to be able to declare and pay
on a net income should gladly add
that small fraction for just one year.
The House conferees were not so
warm in their feelings toward the
publicity of income tax returns, but
after making some minor changes did
eventually agree with the Senate on
this point. Progressives who led the
fight for it's adoption pointed to the
Presidents statement that even if it
were not adopted as part of the bill,
he did intend to take executive action
along the same line, recognizing the
wholesome effect of such a provision
particularly upon the wealthy who in
the past had been able to dodge taxes
and then keep that a secret. They
also pointed to it's successful opera

tion in the case of the Wisconsin in
come tax law.
One stumbling block in conference
was the tariff on imports of vegetable
oils and fats. AS the bill now carries
the items, rates are reduced, but the
provision still remains in the bill de-
spite direct plea from the White
House to eliminate it on the grounds
that it did not properly belong in a
tax bill, and that furthermore it vio-
lated the agreement embodied in the
Filipino Independence act recently
passed. The President has even sug-
gested the possibility of veto if it
remains in the bill. In that case the
measure would be returned to Con-
gress for elimination of the item, but
admittedly no other changes of any
real nature would be made in the bill.
Another feature of the bill which
came with shocking surprise to
wealthy corporations was the liberal
victory in taking away from the great
chains and interlOcking corporations
the privilege of filing consolidated re-
turns. Under that plan, they regular

and which by setting off net losses of
some subsidiaries against net profits
of others, could avoid paying taxes to
Uncle Sam. This new provision will
mean millions in tax receipts to the
Treasury.
So with the added features de-
scribed above, together with the adj
administrative reforms the House
committee wrote into the measure in
an effort to tighten the tax structure
of our laws so that the sickening dis
closures of the Senate committee ear
lier in the session regarding practices
of vastly rich men to escape their tax
responsibilities, it is a bill that rep
resents a real improvement in our tax
system.

The idea of allowing an extra five miles

drive at a greater speed. If members

to do so. With regard to racing three

dark-haired, slender, young competi-
tor all set to 60 in this same direc-
ton.
His name is Denny Shute, who, just
a year ago, won the British open at
ST. Andrews in a play-off with Craig
Wood, the blasting blond, or the Hol-
lywood howitzer.
A fine all-around golfer-one of
the best of the putters-Shute must
be listed among the first five or ten
favorites. Hailing from the Phila-
delphia district, he knows Merton
well. and he has the swing and the
Commemorative power to hold his place
in the winning list.
Quiet, rather on the shy side, Den
ny is former amateur who showed
how strong the pro influence is by
improving his game some so per cent
within year or two.
Shute would be very much pleased
indeed, to add another crown, as the
combination would be a fine protec-
ton against the Summer sun.
Craig Wood, who tied Shutes Brit
ish open score, also is dreaming of
the hour. Wood, graduate of an en-
gineering college, fine all-around
athlete-also could qualify as lead
ing man in the motion picture game.
He is almost blond enough to enter

weighing 200 pounds, he will be
among the longest hitters with both
wood and iron-another entry to

How About Gene Sarazeno

CENE SARAzEN lately has been
~ more air-minded than he has
beer, par minded.
Gene has put most of his attention
on aviation for some months, and it
Will be interesting to see just how this
switch works out in connection with
the Merton open.
Golf is jealous and gripping mis-
tress. 1t demands full concentration
on its own problems. But there also
is chance that Sarazen will miss the
high tension which produces such
havoc with a large section of the
field. His mental attitude may de-
velop less preSSure-and, If he happens
to get fast start, he will be some
thing to follow all the way.
Sarazen is the greatest hunch play
er in the game. His lunches work in
both directions. But if he happens to
pick up winning hunch, he can start
quite blaze as he scurries along at
high speed.
Two years ago he was both U. S.
and British open champion. Today
ne is P. G. A. champion, but those
other two crowns are worn by Johnny
Goodman and Denny Shute. He could
use one of those crowns on his i'm
pending golf tour of the globe-or
| that part of it which presents a fair
way and a putting green.

Pat All But Wins,

MOT long before, Dengis apparent
~ ly had victory sewed up in the
50,000-meter national walking
championship when, 400 yards from
the finish, his legs gave out. He
crumpled to the track, but refused to
stay horizontal. He crawled part of
the way to get second place.
Pat took two-month rest after his
collapse here. Then he entered the
Port Chester, N. Y, marathon. At
the eighth mile he was struck by an
automobile. Severly bruised and his
knees gashed, it was 10 minutes before
Pat fully regained his senses. Then
ne resumed the race. In a field stud
ded with stars he finished fourth.
That race" Dengis says, was pure
agony. Don't ask me why I kept 60
ing"
Pat has variety of tough luck.
He was in fair way to win the South
Atlantic cross-country championship,
when Billy Agee, ace of the Stonewall

loose with one of the best perform
ances OF his career. Dengis took Sec
ond place behind the record breaking

Much the same happened in the

ENDEAVOUR LIKELY
TO HAVE new BOOM
Flexibility and Strength Sought.
Now Is Carrying Old One
From Shamrock V.

r ONDON, June 6.-The type OF
boom which Endeavour will
carry in the Americas Cup
races is now being carefully con-
sidered in view of the fact that both
she and Velsheda recently broke the
fiat flexible booms with which they
were fitted.
w. L. Stephenson, owner of VEL
sheda, said that he would now fit
boom of adequate strength even
at the expense of some fiexibility.
boom belonging to Shamrock v.
1t seems that the builders have
not yet succeeded in combining
flexibility with sufficient strength in
the new type of booms. The flexible
boom is intended to curve in varying
degrees, depending on the strength
of the wind, so as to give better
shape to the foot Of the mainsail.
These patent booms" originated in
the last Americas Cup series when
Enterprise was fitted with her So
called Park avenue boom. The pres
ent attempts toward a flexible boom
aim for the same effect.
While no decision has been reached
concerning the challenger's boom, it
is fairly certain that there will be
change in the original design mas
much as sending Endeavour into the
cup races with a boom which has
not proved worthy would be too great
risk.
