SEN. THOMAS
LINES UP ALL
FRIENDS Of
MEASURE
President May Follow Veto
With Suggestion Members
Feel Free to Support Bill

: With Senator Elmer Thomas
VD0 OF Oklahoma prepared to
Withdraw his motion to recon
slider the Patman bonus measure
today, pro.bonus Senators showed
extreme optimism over their
chances of overriding the veto
which, 1t is virtually conceded, the
President will send back tomorrow.
The bonus supporters are giving
little consideration to the situa-
ton in the House, as it is a fore
gone conclusion that that body will
vote to override by a large
majority. -
One new thought was seriously
suggested today by bonus advo'
Gates, giving them renewed cour-
age.
Satisfying Both Sides
It was that the President will
veto the bill, and then from
Administration circles word will
be sent to those Senators who are
on the border line to vote to over.
ride, if they so desire, and that
such q vote will not be construed
as embarrassing to the President.
The thought in back Of this is
that by such action the President
will have satisfied the anti-bonuS
factions. while the Eenate's action
will satisfy the bonusites.
Then. by next fall, when cleo
ton time rolls around, the whole
controversy will be more or less
forgotten and the Democratic
party will get the support Of both
groups.
Such a suggestion was char
acterized by some close Admin
istration figures as entirely I'm.
founded. These same leaders
declared that the President will
veto the measure and that the
Senate would sustain the veto.
Meanwhile. some Senate Pat
NANTES express confidence that
despite what the President might
do, they will muster sufficient
votes to override the veto. They
admit such a vote will be close,
but contend that they have
sounded out the Senate carefully
enough to know that a veto will
not stand.
Six Didn't Vote
When the Patman measure,
calling for the issuance Of 1900
million dollars in currency to
Immediately pay the bonus, was
passed by the Senate there were
six Senators not voting. They
were Gore, Reynolds, Tydings,
Norbeck, O'Mahoney and Nye.
It was rumored that Senator
Reynolds may return from the
virgin Islands, where he is max
ing a Senate study, in time to
vote with the advocates. This
was said at his office today to be
highly unlikely, especially in
view of the fact that a pair has
been arranged on the veto vote
with Senators Reynolds and
Norbeck voting to override and
Senator Tydings voting to sustain.
Senator Nye will vote with the
pro-bOnus forces, but it has not
been possible to ascertain as yet
iust how Senators Gore and
OMahoney will vote. Some sug-

and county for the year amount to $1,000
600 for the year. Then assume that the
county's sales tax collections under the
plan are $500. 900.
A taxpayers total state and county
taxes amount to $500. Sales tax collec-
tons having amounted to so per cent OF
the total due. his tax bill would be credit
ed with 80 per cent of his total tax, or
$50, leaving a balance due of $3.50.
Under the plan as proposed everybody
would be paying taxes, and those against
whom an ad vaIorem tax Ia assessed,
would receive credit in proportion to the
amount Of sales tax collected. Those
against whom no ad valorem tax Is as
sessed would be paying a part Of the cost
Of government.
Ready cash would be provided every
month for the operations of the state and
Of the county.
The plan may not be perfect, It might
not work, but 1t is certainly deserving OF
very serious consideration.
, 1935-01-16

Amid all of the various and sundry
plans and methods being submitted from
all sections and from all classes Of Texas
looking to the solution Of the tax problem,
there comes to our attention a modification
of the sales tax plan that deserves serious
consideration.
Submitted by ID. Coolson Of Brown
wood, the plan proposes in brief:
A law imposing a 3 per cent sales tax,
the tax to be imposed on the last sale
made, thus passing the entire burden of
the tax to the consumer. All agricultural
products sold by the producer are ex-
empt.
Every seller at retail to the consumer
would be required to render a sworn state
ment Of retail sales for the past month,
this statement to be accompanied by a
check for 3 per cent Of the amount, made
payable to the county tax collector.
BY the 25th Of the month every county
tax collector would remit all Of his sales
tax collections 10 Austin.
On or by the 30th of the same month, the
comptroller would ascertain the amount
due each county from the total sales tax
collected in the entire state, and would
remit TO each county tax collector on the
basis Of population Of his county as COM
pared to the population of the state. Be
fore making such remittance, however, the
comptroller would deduct the amount due
the state. figured on the amount the state
would lave received had the sales tax
amount represented payments on property
taxes.
AT the end Of the year the county tax
collector would ascertain the per cent Of
taxes collected from all sales as compared
To- the total property taxes due on the
present basis of collection and assessment.
After crediting the property tax amount
with the amount received from the sales
tax. he would credit each property owners
tax account with the proper percentage of
the sales tax collected.
If there was any remaining balance due
on the property tax he would mail the
taxpayer a statement showing his total
tax. less sales tax receipts, and showing the
balance due.
Should the sales tax receipts be more
than required to pay the property tax, the
taxpayers would be credited with the sur
plus on his following years taxes.
AS a practical example of how the plan
would work, assume that Cameron county's

Chronic Joint Disease
Worse Than Acute
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

Editor. Journal on the American Medical Association,
and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine
Much more serious than the ordinary acute tn
flammation OF a joint are those forms In which in
lection persists over q long period and may be asso-
ciated with changes In the blood and In the tissues OF
a more permanent and damaging character.
Scientifically, the chronic forms Of joint inflam-
nation are classified according to their causes and 20
the changes that take place In the tissues.
Doctors recognize many possible causes, including
changes in the glandular mechanism Of the body, err
rors Of diet, poisoning by alcohol, tobacco. or lead.
disturbances Of the circulation Of the blood, changes
in the nervous system. and d~eformities like knock
knees. bowless. and poor posture.
Furthermore, there are forms OF sensitivity TO vari-
Gus substances In which reactions occur In the joints,
These reactions disappear when the sensitivities are
discovered and the possible exposure Of the patient
to the protein substances prevented.
Moreover. there may be Inflammation Of q Joint
following a sudden straining or twisting or O blow
on a Joint such as may occur during athletic sports
IN many instances the injury following q blow or a
strain gives opportunity for invasion by germs al
ways present in the body.
Most ~inflammations OF the joints appear In peo-
pie past 40. but OF course young people are also occa-
sionally affected. Interestingly enough. people who
live in hot climates suffer much lea from arthrits
than do those In the temperate zone.
Symptoms or chronic Inflammation OF a Joint are
much like those Of the acute types. There may be
| pain, stiffness. swelling. limitation OF motion. fatigue
on action, and sometimes deformity.
Another exceedingly interesting symptom Is the
rustling sound or cracking which Is likely TO be heard
In an inflamed Joint. This sound Is like that Of two
pieces OF leather being rubbed together or like the
cracking associated with the crushing Of some stiff
paper.
People with arthritis feel the stiffness Of their
joints more particularly when they Get up In the
morning-the reason being that the tissues have had
a chance to become set during the long continued
quiet.
When the condition becomes worse. this stiffness
may appear even when the patient rests for just q
moment during the day. The afflicted person finds
that he has difficulty In getting up after he has been
sitting down a while, and that after bending down he
IA forced 20 get up slowly.
The explanation Of this is. Of course. that the It's
sues shorten during the relaxation and that sudden
attempts 10 lengthen them are accompanied by GER
tain discomforts.
II the person remains long i'll In bed ~ . result OF
a considerable amount Of pain. movement ON getting
up is even more difficult.

Looking forward to those years, the
intelligent woman realizes that she
has lost that impulsive giddiness and
flighty frivolity characteristic Of youth
and inexperience. She has developed,
in its place, a mature charm and un-
derstanding, ana most important Of
all, life has taught her to be sympa-
thetic and real.

a love of life and to cultivate a sense
of humor that make each day a grand
adventure for me. That Is why I
am so interested In watching the work
of most screen stars, who have also
learned to do this SO that they may
interest the millions of people who are
their fans.
To me, there are only few rules
that a woman should follow to make
life decidedly worth living at any age.
You must be interested! And that
will make you interesting to others.
Whatever you do, don't let the details

beings. Only when you lose these do
you create confusion in yourself and
those about you. If you have these
qualities you will become attractive.
Career Important.
Have a career If you can, or If you
want one. If you can't, or If you don't
want one, find hobbies to interest you
and make you forget about yourself.
Go to lectures, concerts, to motion
pictures or the theater. II you must

Most important Of all-be yourself,
always. Don't ever try to create an
impression, for 1t will make you and
your associates i'll at ease. Be re-
laXed. poised and restful both in per-
sonality and appearance.
And always remember that life
neither begins nor ends at any speci-
fed age. 1t Is never too late to culti-
vate charm and interest. Life, as
said, just flows on, and it may be
turbulent or contented, it largely de-
pends on how you, yourself, make it.

Hartford Council Seeks Better Type of Entertainment Many Resolutions to Be Acted Upon at New Haven
 Conference Waterbury Represented

Action on several matters of i'm. portance to the New Haven county council of Parent-Teacher asspci- ations will be tawen at confer ence to be held to-day at the Ivy street school in New Haven. Meet. ings will be held this afternoon and tonight and will be attended by delegates from every unit of the council.'
 It is expected that the council will lend support to the movement inaugurated in Hartford recently whereby associations throughout the state will petition authorities of the major broadcasting com paniess for an improvement in the children's programs. The Hart ford council, with a membership of more than 4,000, requested the assistance of other state councils in the effort to obtain better type of entertainment for children on the radio.
 Resolutions specifying the pro- grams regarded as particularly ob- jcctionable have been sent to other councils throughout the state and to officials of the broadcasting companies.
 The Hartford group opposed many of the suppertime radio programs for children on the grounds that they were of "har- rowing and melodramatic nature which had a detrimental effect on the physical and mental welfare Oi the children"
 Other subjects to be discussed to-day will include the value of the association in the high school; the value of special rooms and how to procure them in urban and rural schools; and the summer round up and how to conduct it.
 At the evening session Miss Mar garet Punter, exchange teacher" from England, who is teaching commercial subjects in the New Haven schools will speak on American Education As I See it."
 Local delegates who will attend the meetings include: Mrs Elmer E. Wilson. president of the Water bury council; Mrs Lewis Willard and Mrs Peter Corrigan of the Waterville association; and Mrs Robert Croft of Middlebury.
 Mrs Jennie O'Neill of Middlebury will be the principal speaker at the afternoon session. Mrs O'Neill will talk on Experiences with Study Groups on Parent Education; How to Organize Them and How to Conduct Them"
