DOUBLE TAXES
DRAW FIRE Of
MORGENTHAU


Addressing the Tax Revision
Council here today, Secretary of
the Treasury Morgenthau made a
strong plea for elimination Of tax
duplication.
Mr.. Morgenthau declared lover.
tapping taxation" has been at.
tended by evasion and numerous
unfortunate results" He said:
"For example, certain States
have discovered that their taxes
drove business into neighbOring
territory; others have revised
their tax laws primarily to at
tract business. Tax evasion has
been increased by the fact that
our machinery for the levying
of taxes is out of equilibrium.
I'VE find some States impos-
ing taxes previously levied sole
ly by the Federal Government,
and, therefore, having to set
up duplicate administrative ma
chinery."
Mr.. Morgenthau remarked that
the Federal Government also has
tapped sources of revenue previ-
ously regarded as for the States
alone. The conflicts between local
and State governments in the field
of taxation were held to be numer-
GUS. He said:
"The basis problem, as see it,
is to be just to the taxpayer.
Duplicate taxes cause waste.
The great problem is to restore
equilibrium in the tax structure
as q whole in order to be fair
and just"
Mr.. Morgenthau pointed out
that eve must be careful to
guard against injustices as be-
tween geographic sections of the
country, as between commodities
and industries, no less than as
between an individual
The Tax Revision Council was
organized by the Interstate Com
mission for Conflicting Taxation.
It is composed of the Secretary
of the Treasury, two other Fed
eral representatives. five repre-
sentatives of Congress, eight from
States, and eight from cities and
counties. The council is in ses-
sion at the office Of the House
Ways and Means Committee.

ct is a little difficult to de-
fine it and I suppose this Is .
very 0ff-hand definition but un-
less you go into a long discus

definite. I think, however, that
we are getting somewhere to-

Newspapermen urged the Presi
dent to permit this statement tt
be quoted directly. At THE same
time, however, the President EN-
phasized the fact that the state

The social detectives Of the
Roosevelt administration were eX
planned today by President Roose
welt in response to a question
asked at his press conference by
Robert Cromie, editor of the Van
couver Sun. In response to Mr.
Cromie's question, Pre- 81 d e n
Roosevelt replied:
"That is difficult subject to
discuss off hand. 1t would take
an hour or two hours at least.
The social objective, I should
say, remains just what it was,
which is to do what any honest
government of any country
would do; to try to increase the
security and the happiness of a
larger number of people in all
occupations of life and in all
parts of the country; to give

VOLUNTARY MIRA
FACES BARRIER
Of TRUST LAWS
BY EARL GOODWIN


Antitrust laws are still in full
effect, and any attempt to main
tain price agreements among COM
petitors in any industry may run
afoul of that legal barrier.
This makes q legal puzzle for
the industrial leaders who want to
build up a voluntary NRA.
News Of this comes direct from
the lips of President Roosevelt,
who discussed the situation at his
press conference today.
In other words, when the court
scrapped NRA it also Scrapped all
the codes and the provisions and
the general business practices
under the codes, leaving the bare
statutory law, which includes abe
adamant antitrust laws forbid
ding combinations in industry to
hold up retail or other prices.
President Stands By Law
President Roosevelt made it as
clear as crystal that he is not go
ing to try to violate the antitrust
laws or any other statutory laws;
neither is he going to try to leap
over them, or sneak around them,
or tunnel under them.
Lawyers who have devices by
which statutory laws can be
evaded, or avoided, or tried out in
the courts can save their time by
not going to the White House.
Such is the general impression.
This, however, does not sound
the death knell of attempts to
codify business. The President is
apparently highly in favor of
State compacts, voluntary codes,
voluntary agreements between
and among industrialists as long
as the agreements and arrange
ments and practices are entirely
free from entanglements Of the
statutes against trusts.
Price Wars Hit
IF there is any way of maintain
ing a price level ANY way of
stopping ruinous competition by
cutting prices and clashing every.
body's profit, the President is all
for it-unless the district attor-
ney steps in and says "this thing
violates the antitrust laws"
On various occasions President
Roosevelt has discussed his views
on the economic situation pro
duced by price wars between big
industrialists. He is against this
sort of thing particularly when it
results in loss Of profit and
slashes in wages.
But he is evidently set in his
determination to let the thing
ride until the country has made
up its mind what it wants. That
means he will watch industry,
State governments, labor unions
and consumers try out the expert
ment of going back to the status
quo ante Blue Eagle.

In the first place all the schools of
the county would be placed under the
supervision of one board Of trustees
who would budget the expenses and
manage the affairs Of every school,
rural or city, in the county. Teachers
and school policies would be supervised
by one executive, chosen by this board
flee Of county superintendent. Theo-
retically all children would receive
equal advantages and the county would
make the saving that results from GEN.
traIized purchasing and control. In fact
such a movement has already begun
in this county. The Swamp Creek dis
trict, which for years has maintained
an exceptionally efficient school, this
years has closed temporarily and has
arranged to school its four pupils in
Libby. The difference in cost will be
material. Just now it means that at
least two families will be inconveni-
enced in order that mothers may be
with the children until better roads
make bus route into that community
possible. The Stone Hill district has
made similar arrangements with Rex
ford. the Lake Greek district with Troy
and the Camp school with Fortine. At
Leonia two districts have combined tor
the same purpose The County High
School transports nearly half OF its
enrollement from districts adjoining
Eureka. All these adjustments are
working satisfactorily, it is understood,
and each came as a voluntary sugges-
ton on the part Of the smaller district.
Wholesale Consolidation Impractical.
Are we then ready for further and
complete county constellation With
the present road conditions in this part
az the state. wholesale consolidation
would be impracticable and therefore
unwise Many of the same objections
that have been raised to the plan OF
uniting the government Of adjoining
counties will apply with equal force to
this school problem. The average
American distrusts centralized power
in his national, his state and his COM
nldnity affairs. Even with standard
roads, kept open the year round, even
with quick and comfortable transport
tation available, there would still be
communities that would consider such
move violation of their rights to
tax themselves to support the kind OF
school, good or bad, that they wished.
Voluntary consolidation, as they be-
come convinced Of its economy and
greater efficiency, is already here and
will, no doubt, grow as its benefits
are seen and felt. Practically all au-
thorities who are familiar with the
situation agree that the small rural
school IS bound in time to become

under code authority. He explained
somewhat in detail the national organs
ization and pictured how it worked,
naming many of the executive officers.
Later Mr. Neils took up discussion
of the more vital phases of the matter.
He told of the difficulty of meeting
competition from Southern mills, with
their extremely low wages and their
more favorable freight situation mas
much as they are SO much closer to the
big markets Before the code, Southern
mills paid about 10 cents an hour to
their negro help, stated Mr.. Neils. After
considerable battling this was raised to
South. while the minimum wage here
and throughout the Northwest is 42l2
cents per hour. The lesser freight rate
gives the Southern mills an advantage
of about $500 per thousand, feet, said
Mr.. Neils, and with minimum wage
rate of about half what it is here, the
Southern mills are placed in very
favorable competitive position.
Mr.. Neils also spoke of the minimum
price restrictions, which were annulled
by the code authority just before
Christmas. At the beginning of the code
management the industry was required
to adopt a method Of logging that
would save the young trees for later
crop. While such logging is more ex-
pensive, yet Mr. Neils stated he favored
it, for obvious reasons. In return for
this more expensive logging, minimum
price restrictions were set up in order
to eliminate the unfair chiseler and
price cutter Now the price restrictions
have been thrown overheard, but the
more expensive logging is still a re-
quirement
