THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
By CONG. JOHN PAUL KVALE

When President Roosevelt sent his
surprise taxation and wealth dstri-
button message to Congress. he easily
captured the news spotlight In a
newsy week, and that applies equally
in official Washington and the nation
at large. In bearing out the prom
ises of his friends and supporters
that he would not evade this most
important issue. despite its political
dynamite, he simultaneously made a
shrewd political attack upon the re-
dictionaries who had refused to init
ate action in the House and Senate,
as well as against the large follow
ing of Senator Huey p. Long and of
Father Coughlin, both of whom have
deplored the lack of action on this
subject. That applies also to Senate
and House progresSives, who have
consistently urged such a program be
adopted without delay.
OF course the message is aimed at
the two-fold objective of breaking up
the huge individual fortunes through
Inheritance taxes as we'll as through
income taxes on the biggest of them
and of hitting the big corporations
and monopolies harder than the small
Ter industrial units. 1t has been
hailed enthusiastically by practically
every liberal and progressive, regard
less of political faith. 1t may be re-
membered that in this column two
weeks ago the writer limited at such

made law in that form the act would
fall far short of accomplishing its pur-
pose. That is the only way in which
the membership of the House will have
the right to vote at all, and friends
of the original bill there will have
to take their chances of restoring the
stricken portions of the measure and
improving it before it is sent to the
White House.
Thus, in the case of the Tennessee
Valley bill, spokesman for the power
trust, the coal barons and the alumni
mum interests of Mellon which have
large investments in that area to-
gether succeeded in joining with the
minority to keep the bill shelved
completely, until added efforts did
succeed in getting the bill reported
yesterday. in weakened form, by the
squeaky margin of thirteen to twelve.
Once given a hearing on the floor,
however, advocates of the bill hope
to undo a large part of the damage.
and more will be reported about that
fight after it is waged.
In addition to the nuisance tax ex-
tenion bill mentioned above, the
House kept up the fast pace it had
set for itself the preceding week by
passing the bill to amend the Triple
A which was described here last week,
by passing the most important Wagner
labor disputes bill which protects the
rights of labor to bargain collectively
and curbs the vicious company union
and yellow dog contract practices Of
some heartless industrialists, and
passed an important deficiency appro-
priation bill. The Wagner bill went
over without a record vote, due to re-

action on the part of the Chief EX-
ecutive. and mentioned that Senate
progressives were already laying
plans to tack such proposals on to
the House bill. acting on the assump
ton that House leaders would jam
through bill under tight gag rule
which merely extended the nuisance
taxes which otherwise would auto
matically cease on July first. That
was exactly what did happen in the
House Monday. and plans of the Ser
ate prOgressiveS and resentment in
the House among the liberals there
perhaps had much to do with the TIM
ing of the Presidents message.
Senator LaFollette is already circu-
lating a round robin among his col
leagues in the Senate, pledging them
selves to support amendments to the
House bill which carry out the Pres
ident's recommendations, and which
in addition likely will go to the mid
dle-siZed group of net incomes for
heavier income taxes than are now
imposed. The laSt-named proposal Is
by far the most important from a
revenue-producing standpoint, for the
United States is VIGOROUSLY backward
in taxing the incomes of the modestly
wealthy, such as those who receive
a net annual income of $4,000 and up
wards. but especially the large groups
who receive more than 100000 year
ly. but less than a million. Tax rates
of other nations are far above ours,
and with that thought in mind Sena-
tor LaFollette is busy right now draft
ing the amendments which he will
propose.

for the conservative old sOutherners
who head the committees In both
Houses and who hold the key leader
ship posts are frankly siding with the
reactiOnarieS in both parties who have
fought this tax idea SO bitterly
through the years since the war. In
fact, this bipartisan coalition of con-
servatives is more and more definitely
becoming aligned in other struggles
which are developing as the session
crowds to what weary members hope
is the close.
Three bills might be mentioned all
together to give a good instance of
how they operate. The President en-
phatically wants the Senate bill en-
acted into law which extends the au-
thOrity of the Tennessee Valley pro-
ject and clarifies some of the provi-
sions of existing law. He has vigor-
ously stressed his demand for the en-
actment of the Wheeler-Rayburn util-
tiles control bill. to curb improper
financing and operation of holding
companies and otherwise regulating

tions. He has made perfectly clear

tion problems in the widespread coal
