DOUBLE TAXATION
RELIEF |SSTUD|ED
Legislation to Be Tackled
at Next Session, Says
Chairman VinS0n.
Nv the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
A prophecy came yesterday that
legislation looking to some relief from
so-called double taxation" by Fed
eral and local Governments would
be tackled this Winter by the House
Ways and Means Committee.
Chairman Vinson of subcommittee
that has been studying the problem
several years said:
1--WE hope to get some action this
coming session"
He has been in conference with the
staff of the Joint Committee on Tax
alton about bringing down to date
information the committee has been
gathering.
1T is very live subject" Vinson
said. "I don't know what method
may be found for attacking this diff
cult problem, but we want to try to
solve it. Something has to be worked
out"
One Idea Protested.
One method the subcommittee has
considered in the past is having the
Federal Treasury collect certain forms
of tax and apportion share to the
local subdivisions.
However, this suggestion promptly
ran into protests that the ALLEGATION
bases were likely not to be equitable.
The same idea was considered by
Tax Writing Committee in consider
ing liquor taxes after repeal, but
States with liquor objected to dry"
States sharing the tax revenues.
In what Vinson said was the first
study and rpeort of its kind ever
made, the subcommittee in December,
1882, reported the findings of the joint
committees studies. 1t called atten-
ton to increased rates in Federal and
other taxes over the preceding decade
and concluded: This situation must
be remedied at an early date, if the
financial stability Of our Government
is to be preserved"
Serious Duplication Found.
The report found serious double
taxation and duplication" occur in
income, estate, special sales and occu-
pational taxes, and that "the only
conclusion that can properly be drawn
- is that the ultimate ALLEGATION
of the tax field between the Federal
Government and the States is a
result highly to be desired"
All indications, backed by presiden-
tial intimation itself, have been that
no major new-tax legislation is on
the coming sessions schedule. with
the result that Vinson hopes his sub
committee and the full committee will
have more time than they had the
past two sessions to devote to the
'double taxation" problem.

are not to reach parity?"
May Continue Control.
We'll" Wallace replied, "there may
be necessary a continuation of con-
troll. But to carry the reduction below
the present point would begin to re-
duce the quantity of stuff available
for the people here inside this country
That is not true in the case of cotton
but, generally speaking, we say that a
reduction in production below that of
this past year, when, of course, the
drought had a very great effect, would
not serve to increase the farmers share
in the national income.
I'VE have reached the conclusion,
therefore, that it is exceedingly i'm
portant, from the standpoint of giving
greater income to agriculture that
there should be definitely an increased
output on the part of industry. -
But it is also essential in turning out
an increased quantity of goods that
the price be such price as will move
the goods"
Tax Limitations Defined.
The Secretary explained that the
larm program was an attempt to at
tain parity prices. but that with the
powers as now existing it is doubt
full If you could use processing tax
fully and attain parity. for the closer
you get to parity. the smaller the pro-
cesSing tax is and, therefore. the less
incentive you can give the iarmer to
hold down production" He 1greed
the tax must be supplemented in order
to attain complete parity
Predicting that by next Summer
the price of meat animals will be so
high that there will be a great out
cry on the part of the population in
the cities" Wallace acknowledged that
even his "ever-normal granary" pro-
gram would not give the very great
result you hope for" of stabilized farm
prices
He quickly denied that we people
on the farms may as we'll resign our
selves to peonage" or never can expect
again to have decent American stand
ard OF living as his testimony was
interpreted by Cannon. The latter
said that if the farm standard we're
never to be equal to that of indus
! try 1t will become a disgrace to till
the soil and the very name of farmer
will be reproach and a by-word."

STRACHEY BEGINS
DEPORT|NG BATTLE
Hurries Back to Chicago
for Preliminary Round
With Government.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 14.-Evelyn John
st. Loe Strachey, young British
writer, hurried back to Chicago from
Cleveland today for the preliminary
round of his fight to the finish" to
prevent the Government from deport-
ing him as a Communistic alien.
Calling his arrest Tuesday night in
suburban Glencoe as a "'laughable
error" the former member of the
British Parliament. who described
himself as a Communist drummer
peddling Marxism instead of pink
pills." left the Ohio city at midnight
last night to appear before Fred j.
Schlotfeldt, immigration inspector, at
IL o'clock this morning.
Order Comes as Surprise.
The Governments order for his ap-
pearance today came as a surprise in
view of previous report that he was
told when his bond was furnished
yesterday that the hearing would not
be held for about a week. Strachey,
however, appeared unworried and took
an opening shot at the Governments
case by declaring in Cleveland that
sit is a misunderstanding and mis-
take that the American capitalistic
system makes in thinking that by
deporting a humble individual like
myself it can save itself"
His main defense, said Hugh Miller,
executive secretary of the Civil Lib
critics Union, would be that his at
tacks upon the capitalistic system and
his championship of Communist ECO
nomic doctrines" do not constitute an
offense against the United States,
but are nothing more than an 'ex-
preston Of point of view" At
torneys for the union and others hur-
ried to the writer's defense, including
IL members of the faculty of North
western University. The professors
telegraphed Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins their protests. and asserted
Strachey's arrest was based on the
opinions of a "subversive' minority
which seeks to suppress free speech"
Repercussions Seen Here.
Meanwhile, there were many other
repercuSSions. A welter of talk about
Communists was stirred up in Wash
ington, where the Strachey affair was
both defended and attacked.
1T doesn't follow that because a
person follows some economic theory
that he wants to take a bomb and
slow up the Capitol or the White
Souse," said Senator Cutting, Repub-
Ncan, of New Mexico Every one
Nas familiar with Mr. Strachey's views
before he entered this country.
On the other hand, Chairman Dick
stein, Democrat of New York, of the
House immigration Committee said
that free speech does not give one the
license to advocate the overthrow of
our Government by unlawful means 5"
