Auto Sales Up

Automobile and retail sales pre-
sent evidence of improved business.
In 1888. $1,000 new cars we're sold.
In the first nine months of 1884
new car sales aggregated $1,000. In
the first nine months this year
Iowa dealers delivered $1,000 new
cars. I was told that increases in
car registration we're largely in the
rural districts.
A state sales tax check showed
that Iowa retail business for July,
August and September of this year
was Il per cent over the CORE
spending months of 1884. The John
Deere tractor plant, idle through
most of the depression, now is en-
plOying between 5000 and 1000.
I took a turn through Yonkers
department store. The largest of
its kind in Iowa. The Christmas
crowds looked like the good old days.

Gov. Martin L. Davey will leave

This announcement was made
at the executive office today by
Mrs. Myrna Smith, executive sec

declined to say what business
takes the Governor to Washing

tains to his recent application to
President Roosevelt for IS to 20
million dollars from PWA for a
building program at Ohio State
institutions.
Davey's aides were Of the opin-
ion he would call no special elec-

A new two hundred and sixty

ing out President Roosevelt's
recommendations almost to the
letter, was ready for fast Senate
action today.
The Senate Finance Committee
ripped out all Of the drastic
levies on low bracket incomes
which it earlier inserted at the
instance of Senator La Toilette
(Prog.) of Wisconsin before for
mally reporting the new legisla-
ton. AS written finally by the
committee, the bill cut into only
high incomes, big corporation
earnings, and large estates.
Night Sessions Due
Only the delay occasioned by
a wait for printed copies, and the
finance committees written re.
port, prevented an immediate
move to take up the legislation.
AS it is, the finance committee
chairan, Senator Harrison CD
of Mississippi, expected to call
the bill up for consideration to-
morrow.
Night sessions in the Senate
were scheduled in a determined
drive of leaders for final action
this week. Senator Harrison pre-
dicted that the bill in it's present
form would meet little opposition.
He and other leaders endorsed it
as a measure which almost exactly
hewed to the outlines drawn by
Mr.. Roosevelt in his special tax
message to Congress.
Principal features of the bill in
cluded a SurtaX on individual in
comes beginning at a million dol
lars, new graduated corporation
taxes, intercorporate dividend
taxes, and the estate levies writ
ten into the bill last week.
Only Two Variations
In only two major respects did
the bill depart from the program
suggested by President Roosevelt.
It imposed estate taxes instead of
the inheritance levies proposed by
the President, and it retained the
per cent corporation net income
charity exemption inserted by the
House. In every other respect,
