Seven Out of Step

WYE WONDER if those seven senators
w from the northwest who voted
against the presidents wishes on a
measure which would require that prevail
ing wages be paid on relief projects instead
of the recommended $50 per month consid-
cred what the measure would mean to farm
ers in their territory
A considerable number Of unemployed
in rural and small town communities will be
given work on farms, doing farm work and
building and repairing buildings, as soon as
prospects for crop brighten. But farmers
in most cases cannot and certainly should
not be expected to pay wages equal to those
offered in town, in view of the board and
lodging that customarily go with farm en-
ployment.
By paying high wages on relief projects
the government makes it difficult for farm
ers to obtain good help at wages they can
afford to pay and defeats the attempt made
through unemployment agencies to place re-
lief workers where the taxpayers need not
paw their salaries.

Help Them Along

This is the time of the year when All
clubs are organizing for new season.
A word of encouragement and helpful
advice from parents and teachers will help
youngsters get started in the projects which
they are best fitted to undertake.
No single enterprise has done more to
develop an interest in better farming and in
remaining upon the farm than the boys and
girls program It's value has been univers-
ally recognized and every effort should be
made to get every rural youth in some divi-
sion of the work.

On DC. GROUP

Two new Democrats will be
added to the Senate District Com
mittee in the Congress which con,
venes Thursday and the same
number of Republicans will be
dropped.
This is the tentative agreement
reached between Democratic and
Republican leaders concerning vir.
tually all Senate committees, it
was announced today by Senator
Joseph T. Robinson (D0 of Ar.
kansas, majority floor leader.
This would give the Democrats
a majority of II to 4. One of the
Republicans whose name will be
dropped from the committee is
Senator Hamilton F. Kean (RO
of New Jersey, defeated in the
November election by Democrat
It has not been revealed which
other Republican Senator will be
dropped, nor who will be the two
new Democrats.

of each party later this week will

Governmental
REFORM PLAN
FIRST ON LIST
"Kickback," Utilities and
Sewage Plant Contract Also
to Be Investigated

With the beginning Of the New
Year and new Congress, at least
four direct congressional inveStl-
cations of local interest are either
scheduled or proposed.
During the coming session,
other probes may be requested
and some undertaken, and it also
is likely that some of the
discussions on regularly intro
duced bills will take the form Of
Investigations.
The one which probably will
take the spotlight first will be
that which a subcommittee of the
Senate District Committee is to
make into the local government
structure with view to possible
reorganization.
Hearings Delayed
This was ordered by the com
mittee last year near the end of
the session, but due to other in
terests of the subcommittee mem
bers, the hearings have not yet
begun. Preliminary work has
been practically concluded.
Another of the probes in which
the District is interested is that
regarding charges of "kick-back
racket" practices on Federal or
District projects. Hearings on
this matter were started last ses-
sion, but were dropped for the
summer and are expected to start
again before many weeks.
Those that were completed dur
ing the last session of Congress
include one into the local milk
industry and another into local
bread prices. Neither produced
any concrete results.
The milk probe produced no
! legislation, but furnished the
basis for much activity carried on
by the District authorities in their
efforts to supply low-prlced milk
for the needy.
Hotel Financing PrObed
There also was a probe during
the last session by a Senate Dis
trict subcommittee Of the financ-
ing the receivership details in con-
nection with the Mayflower Hotel,
but this inquiry was interrupted
by a court action.
One of the new ones which will
be proposed during the coming ses-
sion is that into the public utilities
of the District. Senator Pat NC
Carran D), of Nevada, member
of the Senate District Committee,
has announced he will propose
such an inquiry to obtain data as
a basis for legislation for public
ownership of utilities here.
Only recently, Senator King an
nounced that he will make a per-
sonal inquiry into the circun1-
stances surrounding the District
contract with the Public Works
Administration for a loan for con-
struction of a sewage plant here.
He expressed the view that there
seems to be unreasonable delay in
getting the project started, wants
information as to why the amount
of the loan was reduced from
$8,000,000 to $4,000,000, and says
that complaints concerning the
project have come to his office.

TAX ON INCOME
D. c. BURDEN,
SAYS MILLER
Prominent Reaitor Sees
Revenue Is Not Evenly
Spread on Population

An income tax for the Dis
trict would impose another
burden on those honest persons
already taxed to the limit"
That opinion was voiced today
by w. C. Miller, prominent Wash
ington realtor, in expressing op-
position to the plan of Senator
William H. King CD, of Utah,
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, to place an additional
income tax on residents of the
District.
Citizens War on Plan
Business and civic leaders, or
CARNATIONS, and Government
workers have banded together to
fight this legislation, assailed as
tax duplication and unfair. It
has been pointed out that if Con-
gress would do its part, as re-
quired by law, in meeting the
costs of local government, there
would be no necessity for addi-
tional taxes.
A local income tax would be
very unsatisfactory legislation"
Mr.. Miller believes. He said:
"Such a tax does not spread
the burden of supporting gov
ernment upon the people in a
manner. commensurate. with.
their ability to gay.
"A recent report on national
income taxes showed that this
tax was collected from only six
of every 100 income producers,
and that "a per cent of persons
receiving income paid no in
come tax whatsoever.
FAVORS SALES TAX
"SaIes taxes in the various
States have proved to be more
acceptable form of taxation than
any other tax yet devised, in
asmuch as most people, whether
they be rich or poor, live up to
their incomes, and the sales tax
creates a complete and eQuit-
able cOverage.
IF we are to have a change
in the system of taxation, let
us have a modern change and
not enact a class of legislation
as antiquated and unjust as the
income tax.
Experience with American
politics has definitely shown
that politicians can readily
spend all the taxes that can
be wrung from the people and
that, when it is necessary to
get along with less, they can do
SO.
WIDER SPREAD URGED
"What is really needed in
taxation in the District is to
spread the burden more equally
over the whole of the people
who are able to support the
government.
TT would be far better to
create machinery for collect
ing taxes now payable by the
citizens of the District than
to add another tax burden
which would be difficult of col
lection"

prominent business men in the
District. He is a member of the
Construction Code Authority and

and the National Association Of
