The mother dried her tears and

She began to realize that whether
her children were preferred above
others in entertainments or not was
Of little moment in comparison with
the question Of their general fitness

system she had compelled them to
follow had failed them and her.
AS she talked it over quietly with
her friend, her children came home.
In the next room, they also talked
about the entertainment, not know
ing that she and the teacher were
within hearing.

Chairman Harrison, of the Senate
Finance Committee, made public
Morgenthau's plan as the cash
bonus issue neared its big test in
the Senate. He was awaiting a break
in the anti-lynching filibuster to call
up his compromise plan for CASH
ing the veterans certificates.
Without waiting for the bonus to
come up, Senator Gore (D.-Okla.)
offered an amendment to permit
President Roosevelt to refund the
war debts owed by foreign nations
and use the proceeds to pay off the
bonus in full.
Republican sentiment appeared to
be veering toward the VinsOn cash
payment plan which was defeated in
the House and turned down by the
Senate committee.
MOrgenthau suggested a system of
taxes on receipt Of inheritances
and gifts" to supplement the pres
ent estate and gift taxes. He said
it would be the best source of reve-
nue. at this time from the stand
point of immediate feasibility no
less than that of our fundamental
detectives" The Treasury head
made 1t clear that beyond the bonus
payment possibility he regarded the
plan as the most desirable source of
revenue If new taxes should be
needed for any purpose.
Tax experts said that under Nor
genthau's plan the inheritance tax
apparently would be in addition to
existing taxes.
This led to a belief by some OBJ
servers that it's effect would follow
the lines Of the Roosevelt Admins
tration's redistribution of wealth
If the new inheritance tax was
ON existing taxes, it
would clip a $1O,OOO,0OO inheritance
to $1,60O, 900 by the time the Federal
levies had been paid. The original
estate tax would be $6,000,0OO. I'm
der the inheritance tax, II the money
was left to a single individual the |
government then would take so per |
cent Of the S4.OOO,O0O balance or 81
100000.
"Such a system, supplementing |
our present estate and gift taxes"
said of his plan, would
1t in well with the rest Of our Fed
,ral tax structure; would add to its
balance and strength; and would
not materially interfere with the
present estate and gift taxes"
He estimated the tax would yield
1900, 100000 in 1896 and range up
ward to $500, 100000 in subsequent
'ears. He said that England with a
population only ODe-htird of Amer
cas-, and a smaller per capita
wealth, collected more than $780,
zoo, 900 in death dutieso during the
ear ending March 81.

Such folks can be just as stubborn,
