 "Thoughtful people have come

 Congress nor state legislature
 has any effective power to legis-

 regulation by the federal gov-

 regulation by the federal g6v-

 against federal regulation are

Initiation Urged

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. II. - The
currency initiation issue surged up in
the House today into one of the
most momentous controversies of
the session.
The two threats involved: The
Frazier-Lemke $3,000,000000 infla-
ton farm mortgage refinancing bill
vote and the Patman proposal to
force payment of the soldiers bonus
in $2,000,000O00 of new money.
Majority leaders agreed there was
but slight chance of blocking off the
farm relief measure in view of the
200 signatures obtained by the Fra
zie1 -Lemke bloc. Only nine more
signatures are needed to assure a
vote.
Passage of the bonus bill by the
House yesterday under joint pres
sure of all veterans organizations
was with the tacit understanding
that Rep. Wright Patman Cd, Tex.) !,
could push for his currency inf1a-
ton payment method when the time
comes.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Keen
interest was displayed today at the
capital in the proposal of Robert
P. Scripps, controlling stakeholder
of the ScrippS- Howard newspapers,
for reform of the existing machin-
cry for the collecting of estate and
Inheritance taxes.
Legislators interested in taxation
agreed that under the present sys-
tenn great injury can be done the
taxpayers as we'll as the govern
ment.
They were likewise unanimous in
conceding that the collection of
death duties from large estates is
a problem not yet adequately dealt
with and one deserving conscien-
tious study.
Mr.. Scripps made the point that
the present method of collection
was virtually cash on demand" In
the case of large estates where
death taxes are correspondingly
high, he pointed out that the pres
ent system frequently jeopardizes
the estate II it is business enter
prise by forcing liquidation of a
large portion to pay the tax.

He said forced liquidation might
cause enough damage actually to
