PARIS, May 2.-The flow Of gold
from France has injected new ankle
ties into the French jig-saw puz-
zle of politics which voters will piece
together tomorrow with run-of elec-
ton for the Chamber of Deputies.
Bankers said anxiety was already
shown in the steady flow OF gold
abroad from the Bank of France. while
French hoarders had ceased buying
gold because they were afraid the
metal might be requisitioned, as in the
United States.
The total amount Of gold with
drawn from the Bank of France in
the last five weeks has amounted In
value to S247 ,358,000.
The stock market recovered from
sharp break early in the week, but
financial writer's continued to warn
of possible monetary dangers, includ-
ing the danger that the franc would
be devaluated.

Senate Munitions Committee members
to force vote on their war tax bill.
Levy Plan Main Target.
In the tax hearings, the administra-
tion proposal for assessing corporations
on the percentage of income they
failed to distribute continued to be
the chief target of business spokesmen.
under the House tax bill, corpora
tions would be taxed up to 42la per
cent Of their net income, depending
on how much of it was turned into
surplus. This tax would supplant eX-
listing corporate levies. Corporation
dividends would be made subject to
the normal individual income tax)
John w. O'Leary of Chicago. repre-
senting the Machinery and Allied
Products Institute, leveled the heaviest
fire at this plan, contending it would
bring social insecurity" and intensity
''the peaks and valleys" of industrial
activity.
He warned that it would not only
delay recovery now. but would bring
more frequent and severe business
cycles in the future Already, he said,
the proposal of the tax had slowed
down orders for machinery.
Summarizes Opposition.
OLeary summarized his opposition
to the bill as follows:
Il. It will generate uncertainty and
lack of confidence.
D. 1t will deepen and lengthen de-
pressions.
"3. 1t will foster ineficiency and
obsolescence.
a. 1t will penaliZe new corporate
enterprise. expansion of industrial ac-
tivity and development Of new prod
ucts.
IS It will multiply taxation on de-
probation reserves from which funds
must come for capital equipment pur-
chases.
IS. 1t will impose heavy penalties
on uncertain profits.
81. 1t will be tax on capital rather
than income for companies showing
serious capital losses because exennp-
tions for capital loss are limited.
"8. 1t will foster unfair competition
by its multiplicity Of relief meas
ures'"
Asks Balanced Budget.
Prof. Fred Rogers Fairchild of Yale.
who said he was not member Of
"anybody's brain trust" but spokes-
man for the Manufacturers Associa-
tion of Connecticut, protested any new
taxes without balancing the budget.
The present bilf," he said, while
It presumes to add some hundreds of
millions to the Governments revenue,
indicates no intention of balancing
the budget"
Stanley A. Sweet, president of
Sweet-Orr g. Co., New York clothing
manufacturers, asked that taxes be
levied on the basis of three-year prof.
its, instead of on the income for q
single year.
The undistributed corporate tax on
the basis Of single years operations
would be dangerous and possibly IA
tai to the average concern" Sweet
said, contending that If the law had
been in operation in the past his
company would have passed out Of
existence long ago"

DISTRICT HEADS
ADVOCATE TILE
LINED DRAINS

Resolutions asking the reclama-
ton service to build tile lined, COW
cred drains paralleling the All
American canal near Calexico, were
passed by the directors of the I'M
perial Irrigation district at Tues
day mornings session. The reSo-
luton passed by unanimous vote.
The drains requested would run
for a distance of three miles on
both sides of the canal from the
central main canal west to the
Southern Pacific railroad tracks
and there connect to the open
drains leading to New river.
Prevention of seepage or water
logging from the All American
canal is the purpose of the desired
drains. Such drains were a part
of the original plans in the de-
velopment, according to Evan T.
HeWeS, chairman of the board.
Directors expressed the opinion
that the drains should be built be-
fore canal construction is complete
and before the canal is being used.
They ask that the drains be of
ample size and that they be in
stalled at a minimum depth of six
feet below the ground surface.
Copies of the resolution were or
dered sent to Harold l.. IckeS, sec
retary of interior; r. r. Walters,
chief engineer, and r. B. Williams,
construction engineer for the bu-
reau of reclamation.
