MORE TAXES

The much debated tax bill lnally
passed Congress. II was forced
through in the closing hours by con-
gressmen Of both parties who were
eager to get home and start their po-
litical fence-building.
The bill is designed to produce
$500, 100000 a year IN new revenue
and though that is a substantial sum
Of money, II wouldn't make much Of
a dent In the current deficit. Fur
thermOre, many unbiased experts are
of the opinion that this forecast is
extremely optimistic, and that the
measures proponents are due for a
disappointment when the returns be-
gin to roll In.
The bill will raise revenue princi-
pally through a heavy tax on undis-
tributed corporation income. The
tax will range from z to "a per cent,
and will be In addition to a tax OF
from to Is per cent on all corpora
tiOn income, whether distributed or
not.
What will be the results Of such a
tax? II will discourage investment.
That, in turn, will retard Industrial
and prevent employment.
That, in turn, will hold back recOv-
cry and keep the relief rolls bulging.
You can't soak" industry and eX-
pect 1t to forge ahead.
The tax on undistributed income
will make it difficult or impossible
for many corporations to build up a
Without a surplus, a cor
pOratiOn is a match in the financial
of a depression. Since
1929 scores of corporations have
earned less than they have spent,
and have only survived by drawing
IN surpluses built up before the |
crash, when there was opportunity |
md incentive to do so. Had the new |
ak bill been in effect at that time,
heir surpluses would have been |
much smaller or nOn-existent-and !
more bankruptcy would have fol-
owed.
This tax bill is a body blow to I
some think small busi-
lesses will find it a heavier burden
han large businesses.

RESEARCH MAKES
THE WHEELS TURN

Few industries more eagerly
search for new procedures and
equipment which will make opera
ton more economical, efficient and
comfortable than the railroads. And
few carry on more extensive re-
search toward these ends. That was
pointed out recently by the director
Of equipment research of the AssO-
citation Of American Railroads.
When q passenger boards a mod
ern railway car, the farthest thing
from his mind is a scientist in a
laboratory. But that scientists work
had to be done before the car could
be developed to the peak of efficiency
and comfort it represents. Every
Improvement in railroad operation
brings to the fore new and often diff
fieult technical problems. For ex-
ample, IN order to increase train
speeds, locomotive boiler pressures
are raised and higher operating tenn
peratures result. Immediately old
fabrication systems are found to be
inadequate and crank pins, axles and
bearings will not stand the added
work without breaking down. So into
the laboratory go the scientists-tO
solve the new problems.
ALI this costs money. All this
takes time and effort. But it has to
be done If the American railroads
are to continue to be the best, the
safest, the fastest and the most de-
pendable in the world. When you
board a train, it might interest you
to reflect that millions of dollars
have been spent in research alone on |
your behalf. When you ship goods,
you might reflect that more millions |
have been spent on research to as
sure you that they will arrive at
their destination in perfect cOndi-
tiOn and as quickly as possible.
Research makes the train wheels
go 'rOund-and its monument is the
transportation system
the American railroads represent.

| Continued from First PdgeI
especially so far as the two lower
counties are concerned, and an eff
fort may be made to reach an un-
derstanding as to possible nominees
for the best interests of the party.
For some time Sussex County Re-
publicans have been confronted with
the problem of selecting a nominee
for Governor. Under the rotation
system Sussex Republicans are
claiming the right to select the NOM
inee this year.
Several Men Mentioned
Several residents Of that county
have been mentioned as possible
candidates. Among them are Col.
Harry l.. Cannon and William J.
Swain, of Bridgeville; former State
Senator l. DOlphus Short, Milford;
former State Treasurer George S.
Williams, MillsbOrO; Capt. Harry v.

The Democratic platform also
praises the Administrations farm
program. says it has saved agricul-
ture from ruin. promises a cOntinu-
ance of the policy of retiring sub
marginal land. encouraging coopera-
tives, and soil conservation"
1t pledges the Administration to
vigorously and fearlessly" enforce
the antitrust laws and to break mon
OpOly wherever it exists. Most COM
mentatOrs regard this as a new
phase of the New Deal, in that such
a law as the NRA necessarily fOs-
tered monopoly, required the tempo
rary abrOgatiOn of the antitrust
laws.
The platform praises the party's
acts on behalf of labor, and says it
will continue to protect the worker
both as a Wage-earner and consumer
1t favOrs encouragement of home
building, lauds the iva, and pledges
itself to the advancement of rural
eleetrification.
II favOrs the extension of the merit
system (ciVil service) in govern
ment jobs, and pledges itself to the
Of all our civil liberties.
On the immensely important ques-
tion of finance. it says the Admins
tratiOn has stopped defiation and re-
stored values, declares that the ma
tiOnal credit was never better.
pledges a balanced budget and a re-
duced national debt as soon as pos
sible.
In few planks are there any great
between the Republican
and Democratic platforms. The great
difference is in the candidates-in
their backgrounds. opinions, philosO-
Dhies, and theories Of what govern
nent should do and be. 1t is this
Inference that will determine the
election.

SAFEGUARDING INVESTORS

In a recent address on stock Ex-
changes and Investors" Charles R.
Gay, President of the New York
Stock Exchange, said: "In the great
enterprise of carrying industry and
business upward from their recent
ly perilOus situation to the high
plateau of prosperity, men engaged
in directing capital into investment
channels have a task not remotely
removed in character from the SER
vice rendered by the patriots who
fashioned the financial structure of
our country. AS well equipped,
and as progressive, as we reason
ably believe American stock ex-
changes to be, we cannot afford to
rest upon past achievement. The
vigorous revival experienced by
many industries this last year sup
plies a forecast of what is yet to
develop. The stock exchanges
must be prepared to keep ahead Of
the times, not parallel with them, in
rendering the service which inves-
tors are going to require of u.s."
The great stock exchanges of the
country have done a fine work in
cleaning house" in recent years.
They have sought, no less than our
to outlaw the wildcat
ter and the misrepresenter Of facts.
They have developed the severest
rules governing brokers connected
with the exchanges, as well as the |
corporations whose stocks they list. !
they can't make a wise investor out |
of a man with the gambling itch
but they can and are seeking to pro-
vide the security buyer with the full
est protection.

THE VALUATION

THANKS to the campaign the good old custom
of taking walk is coming back.
Democrat AL Smith, all dressed up like Repub-
lican, has reached for his shiny opera hat
and and started from his East Side sidewalks
to stroll along Riverside Drive. Democrat John w.
Davis has started taking his regular constitutonas
Republican Ogden Mills has left rs Hamtonian
crowd for walk with the od-fashioned States
Fighters.
Gov. Gene Talmadge is marching through Georgia
all out of step with the boys of his party Hoover,
the Hermit of Palo Alto has come out of retirement
to take long distance hikes in training for the 1886
marathon. Ham Fish dismounted his -spangled
hobby and Bill Borah his mustang to walk with each
other, whittier one knows.
Doc Townsend still threatens to pack up his
medicine kit and leave the old parties to their aches
and pains and start OARP Party of his own.
Even the United States Marine Band caught the
habit, and walked out on 500 patriotic ladies in
Washington because cambridge Colby had made
political speech under their auspices attacking the
New Deal
The Great American Public is walking round and
round, but chiefly it's edging away from the radio
toward the door that leads outside where it get
breath of fresh air.

SMITHS ADDRESS CALLED
DISILLUSIONMENT

BY M. Fl. Rush, Anderson
7 do not commend the New Deal;
but I commend the Liberty League
address by Alfred E. Smith even less,
for obviously the brain under the
brown derby is bitter. 1t is even
irrational.
I do not think that man is ra-
tional if in one breath he says that
he has no ak to grind, and with the
next breath proceeds to grind his
ak with vehemence.
1t is true, suppose, that Al Smith
is an ardent patriot. But patriotism
misdirected has caused a great deal
of our grief in the last few decades.
Let it not be forgotten, though,
that AL is a snrewd politician; to
me, the combination of patriot and
politician smells odiously and omi-
nously of trouble.
I belong to this frank and file"
for whom Mr.. Smith is so solicitous,
but I can not connect my rank and
file" in the same category with the
Liberty League, which includes the
Duponts, the Raskobs, the Wander
bits, the Aldrichs, the Fleming, the
Weirs, the. GadSens and many other
baroniStic industrialists and bank
ers. I know that any one who rep
resents such an oligarchy positively
does not represent democratic
rank and file.
Unfortunately Mr.. Smith has I'M
Willingly gotten away from the rank
and file; he is no longer one of us
he has passed us up for bigness,
power and dominance.
True, the rank and file" has
power and dominance hidden some
where in its midst, but we who COM
pose it are such an unwieldy mass
that we may never assert our
strength. Mr.. Smith recognized in
the Liberty League something more
tangible and cogent than anything
the rank and file had to offer.
once admired Al Smith; con-
sidered him political Carnegie. I
thought, too, that he might some
day shape this rank and file into
coherent group. The thought was
persisted by the Liberty League adj
dress. Mr.. Smith proved definitely
therein that he preferred swank to
rank.
And somewhere it has been said
truly that no man can serve two
masters-not even Alfred E. Smith,
perennially potential candidate.
