PRAISES
|. SALES TAX AS
BEST LEVY

John Joy Edison, dean Of Wash
ington's business and financial
leaders, today praised the manu-
facturers' sales tax as a logical
solution Of many. of the problems
confronting the Government to-
day.
Edison, president of the Equi-
table Cooperative Building Asso-
ciation and a member Of the
board of the Washington Loan
and Trust Company, pointed out
that the manufacturers sales tax
would eliminate many Of the
problems harasSing business men
today.
According to Edison, there are
many drawbacks to the present
tax system which tend to discour'
age the free flow of investments
by citizens whose incomes are in
high upper brackets while, at the
same time, imposing too heavy a
burden on the citizen with a COM
paratively small income.
Quick solution Of these prob
lens, Edison believes, could be
found If the manufacturers sales
tax were adopted by Congress. He
believes it would bring in a con-
slant, easily collected flow OF reve-
nue. to the Government which
would tend to ease the burdens OF
the small taxpayer and encourage
the free flow of capital.
Edison said:
"Since the World War the
basic tax problem in the United
States has been to find means
Of reforming our tOpheavy reve-
nue. system. We need the reve-
nues, but it seems impossible to
eliminate many Of the evils Of
the present tax system.
"ThiS could be accomplished,
/ believe, largely by substituting
q general manufacturers sales
tax for taxes that are not now
desirable and which are not pro-
viding the revenue needed by
the Government"

HUGE j. s. FUND.
ISSOUGHTFOR
NEW HOMES
International Nsws Service

~ International News Service
A drive for a huge Federal loan
fund to encourage construction Of
new homes was under way today
as Congress prepared to tackle
legislation guaranteeing 1000
million dollars worth Of home loan
bonds.
Demands are pouring in from
all parts of the country for the
new construction fund. Builders
and many social agencies are CO.
operating to arouse public senti-
ment.
Work Starts This Week
Consideration Of the bond guar
autee question will be opened by
q specially created House Bank
ing and Currency subcommittee
this week, Rep. Michael Reilly
Cd of Wisconsin, chairman, an
nounced.
Little difficulty is expected in
obtaining congressional approval,
since a measure already has been
passed guaranteeing principal :
:. the farm loan bonds. The two
plans have been lined together in
the Administrations effort to re-
r lieve individuals burdened with
mortgages.
The construction industry is de-
clared to have been hit by the
depression. In 1923 total ex-
penditures for construction works,
including highways, were SIC, ,56O,-
100000. This dropped to $780,
900, 900 in 1882.
Big Drop in Building
In 81 States new residential
construction dropped from $685.
977, 900 q month in 1925 to
$40, ,487 500 a month in 1888.
The Federal Home Loan Board
already has barred plans for au-
thority to grant loans for home
improvements. At least 250
million dollars is expected to be
sought for this purpose.

STABILITY
COOPERATION

In a brief address to the Asso-
cation of Life Insurance Presi-
dents, Frances V. Keesling, Presi-
dent of the American Life Conven-
tion, said: "Cooperation, as I con-
ceive it, relates to efforts to assure
stability in our own business, and
includes cooperation to insure the
stability of all other business
Only the most superficial consid-
Grafton of the subject demonstrates
that insurance is vitality related to
business generally. In fact, real
business stability demands that the
business executive be concerned
not only with the problems of
other executives in his own line
but as we'll must have a sympa-
thetic and very positive interest in
the troubles of executives in other
lines of business"
Mr.. Keesling's conception of life
insurance is very progressive.
Now, with the seeds of recovery
sow,n, the value of life inurance
working with other industries to
promote sound business and gov
ornamental practice, becomes doub-
ly important.
The American people have great
faith in life insurance and listen
eagerly to what men high in indus
try say. As Mr.. Keesling init
mates, life insurance is and will be
IN of the greatest tools in building
and maintaining stability.
