Nervous Nimrod Shoots at Rabbit,

It all began early last December
when Mr.. Roosevelt was formulat-
ing his legislative program for the
coming session Of Congress. Inner
council liberals urged him to in
clude bold tax revision plan.
But at that time the President
was in the middle ii a right swing
and attempting 20 corciliate bust
ness. He turned thumbs down on
the proposal, and it remained
Shelved until early May.
BY that time Mr.. Roosevelt had
become completely fed up with the
business goodwilling policy sold to
him by his conservative advisers.
And when the United States
Chamber of Commerce kicked
over the traces and violently de-
nounced the New Deal, the Presi-
dent abandoned all pretense of
placating business.
IT was at this moment that Mr..
l. Garner, in one of his heart-to-
heart talks with Mr.. Roosevelt,
told him he ought to come out
with a hard-hitting tax program.
The idea took root in the Presi-
dents mind. But it was not until
some weeks later that he actually
decided to act. Two things brought
him to this conclusion: Cd The
Supreme Courts decision throw
ing out the NRA, and % the hos
tility of a number of Old Guard
House Democrats toward his hold
ing corporation bill and the bill
strengthening IVA.
Mr.. Roosevelt has real fighting
ire when aroused, and this time he
was aroused. He had another pri-
vate talk with Mr.. Garner and
told him he had decided to recon-
mend tax legislation.
That's the stuff. Mr.. Presi-
dent enthused the beetle-browed
Texan, and I have a plan for
you"
Mr.. Gamers plan was essen
TALLY the one he had sponsored
in 1926, when he was member
of the House Ways and Means
Committee and Calvin Coolidge
sat in the White House. Another
member of the committee was
beefy Ogden L. Mills. later Secre-
tary of the Treasury in the Hoover
Cabinet.
Mr.. Garner at that time pro-
posed inheritance and gift taxes,
plus a graduated tax on corpora
tions and on incomes above q mil
lion. Mr.. Mills. with the back
ing of the then-powerful Secre-
tary of the Treasury Andrew w.
Mellon, defeated Mr.. Gamers
plan, enacting instead program
that slashed rates from top to bot
tom-but chiefly at the top.
Mr.. Roosevelt accepted Gamers
plan. II constituted that portion
of his recommendations that he
declared he wanted enacted this
year.
DUT when the President was
ID ready to spring his program
on Congress he was confronted
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-07-01

with the delicate question of tao
tics.
Mr.. Roosevelt wanted action
this session, but with Old Guard
Democrats in both chambers
growing rebellious, he hesitated
attempting a new and forceful
drive. His problem was how to
force prompt action without
seeming to be applying the whip.
Here again the canny Garner
gave sound counsel. He advised
against calling in the Der ~. ATTIC
floor leaders before the PRESIDENT
sent his message to Congress.
They would be sure to interpose
objections, he said, bring pressure
on the President not to seek the
legislation this session.
The thing to do, he counseled,
was to send the message to
Capitol Hill without previous
warning, and let the liberals who
had been clamoring for tax
tipping legislation apply the heat
to the reluctant Democrats.
That was precisely what was
done. Mr.. Garner forecast the
situation 100 per cent. The Dem
ocratic leaders were taken COM
pietely by surprise. When they re-
sained. their breath they issued
lukewarm Endorsements of the
taxing proposals but pooh-poohed
any idea of enacting them into
law. Whereupon the liberals rolled
up their sleeves and announced
they were prepared to fight any
attempt to adjourn until the pro-
gram had been disposed Of.
THIS was just the cue the
Il President had been waiting
for. He summoned the Demo-
cratic leaders to the White House.
BY his side was Mr.. Garner, and
it was the latter who did most of
the hard-boiled talking.
nc O4Ulll1N III QS4ACO do4OC OOJCC-
tons raised by Chairman Bob
Doughton of the Ways and Means
Committee and Speaker Joe
ByrnS.
Who is being hit by these
taXeS?" he demanded. "A hand
full of millionaires and some big
corporations who have making
huge profits. Under this tax
plan, rs per cent of the corpora
lions will pay less taxes. The rest
can we'll afford to pay more.
You say it is too late in the ses-
sion to put this program through.
I say that the Democratic party
can't afford politically not to put
it through. The progressives have
put us on the spot with their
threats TO demand action. We can't
let them do that. We've got to
put through the Presidents pro-
gram ourSelves."
This logic struck home. Three
hours later. when the conference
broke up, the leaders had agreed
to force action this session re-
gardless of how long it necessi-
tated keeping Congress in session.

When you are in the habit Of wearing high
shoes, it is sudden tax on your spine to switch to
low heels.
Many women with high heels find it necessary
to hold their backs in bent position to maintain
a suitable balance Let them adopt low-heeled shoes,
when they take up some form Of sport like golf,
and there's pain in the back, caused by the change
from the unnatural position Of the spine caused by
the high heels.
Furthermore, any painful position of the feet may
cause one to walk in an odd manner, bringing
type Of strain in some part Of the body, and chronic
backech as result.
IN the of athletes there is general relaxation
of the body when the sedentary life is taken up.
In such instance the whole muscular system droops.
the muscles lose their tone and their ability to hold
the bones Of the body in the right position and here
again backache comes easily.
The reason why many persons awake with back
ache is that one of the joints in the spine becomes
locked most likely from lying in awkward posi-
ton. The common variety of stiff neck is caused by
this
Besides these factors perhaps the most frequent

suitable examination, X-ray pictures should be
taken and a general study of the afflicted persons

once the cause of a chronic pain in the back
" has been determined, relief can be had in one
of many ways. In some cases proper application OF
adhesive tape will hold the joints in & fixed posi-
ton and prevent pulling pressure the sensi-

When there has been an injury to the back, it
is important provide suitable rest for the injured
area This can be effected by strappng up the body,
or by wearing suitable braces or supports.
Such apparatus has been designed in many
forms particularly for the lower part of the body,
since low back pain is among the most frequent
types of backache.

SLIPS OF THE MERCHANT MARINE
Mitchell Charges Recall Sad Story of American Failure Seas
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON, July 1.
The American
Merchant Marine - which
has cost about $5,000,-
100000 since the World
War broke out and still
doesn't amount to much
is an issue again.
COLLAPSE of charges by Ewing
Y. Mitchell against the Commerce
Department gravely questioning
operation OF the Leviathan con-
tract settles nothing in the mer-

new legislation to attack the prob
lem in new ways. revelations Of
past scandals, the entry of
Frances Normandie, and the
near-completion of Britain's
Queen Mary, all bring to the fore
front ltlS QUESTION,
What is the American Merchant
Marine?
"Ha, hal There isn't any," is
common answer. But although
our foreign commerce feet is in
miserable shape compared with
those Of other nations, it isn't
quite that bad.
About 480 vessels flying the
American flag and weighing 1000
tons or more are operating in for
eign trade Their tonnage is bit
less than 100000 and they do not
include an equal number of ocean,
going costal vessels, tankers, lake
ships, or the idle Shipping Board
vessels still left on government
hands.
THIS merchant marine carries
u only a third of Americas
foreign trade, although every
other maritime nation carries at
least half It's own exports and i'm
ports.
Although the United States
ranks second in tonnage, behind
Great Britain, her fleet is eighth
among The nations in respect to
modern tonnage and fifth in
speed. The bulk of it is in tramp
