PROPERTY UP TO AVERAGE
TO HANDLE ENROLLMENTS
(By Associated PI-ess)

1ALLAnAOOEE, ID, MdICH
10.-The state planning board re-
ported today expenditures of
$31, 615, 551 would be necessary to
bring Florida's public schol pro-
perty up to the United States
average for the number Of chill
dren enrolled.
The present investment in
school property is $59,010,569. or
$159.8O for each of the $50, SIS
white and negro children enrolled
for the year 1934-35. The United
States average is $3.50.
Complies Figures
Figures on the school situation
were compiled in statewide
survey made in a planning board
Fera project. The report was
placed in the hands of Chairman
C. B. Treadway and Secretary M.
L. Montgomery.
Montgomery said the statistics
would be turned over to the
school code authority recently ap-
pointed by Governor Sholtz to
prepare recommendations on
school improvements to be submit
ted to the 1887 legislature.
Maintenance expenditures by
county school boards for 1934-35
were placed at $35O,O99.94, or so
of one per cent which the report
said "is totally inadequate" Pro-
per maintenance would have cost
81, 68O,317. Although the average
capital outlay for the past 10
years was $4,978,S47, the 1934-35
capital expenditures was only one
twentieth of that amount. of
S235.O8O.
Needed improvements
The survey showed POI schools
in Florida have no toilet facilities,
while 338 had surface toilets and
539 needed new toilets builts, in
addition to engagements and re-
modelling needed at several hun
dred schools. These improvements
would cost $466,563.
Drinking water" the report
continued, "was furnished 533
schools from insanitary pitcher
pumps, 532 rural schools had no
source of water on school pro-
perty, 10 were furnished water
from springs, 1880 schools needed
satisfactory sources of pure
water, in addition to many i'm
provements in other cases." Ex-
penditure of $9O2,16S would be
necessary to supply the water I'M
provements.
Heating systems were found to
be unsatisfactory the report said.
at 1,135 schools. Common stoves
were used to heat 1,161 schools,
172 had no source of heat and %
were heated by fire-places.
In instruction, the survey
showed enrolment of 1913 white
students for each teacher, and
1874 negro students for each
teacher.
The report said the public
school system needed 1,515 class
rooms. exclusive of auditoriums,
laboratories science department
and similar rooms to provide
adequate housing for the present
enrolment, without allowing for
any future growth.
Brevard county, with $381.11,
topped the states counties in the
value of school property for each
enrolled child. while Flagler
county was lowest h-$15.40.

The third year of President
Roosevelt's administration ended
last week with the scene greatly
changed from the day on which
he took office. There are abun-
dant evidences Of recovery and a
great argument is going on as to
whether the Administration aided
or retarded the movement. How
ever, no one can doubt the sub
stantial Improvement. Bank fail
ures are few and deposits at the
highest mark on record. Indus
trial production is increasing and
no one thinks that capitalism is
about to collapse. Business, en-
ployment. profits, payrolls, farm
income and urban trade show sub
stantial gains and tendency to
move upward. The government:
seems to be imbued with a re-
trenchment spirit and the Presi-
dent insists that the budget should
be balanced except for relief ex-
penditures.

AS the observer looks back over
the third year of the New Deal,
he finds its record impressive
and probably the evidence OF a
changed viewpoint. During the
year the famous breathing spell'
was announced and officials, APP
parently calling off the reform
drive, concentrated upon holding
what had been gained. This was
not so easy. with the Supreme
Court declaring unconstitutional
the NRA, the AAA and other less
vital laws. The part played by
the Court has been extremely sig
nificant. For a while it appeared
that one of the great issues would
be an attempt to curb the powers
OF the supreme tribunal but re-
Gently, since the IVA decision,
there has been an appreciable
lessening of criticism and attacks
on the Court.

The end of the year found Con-
gress comparatively quiet and the
President apparently shaping his
course to present his record to
the voters next fall. This in
cludes, besides emergency legisla-
ton, such permanent laws as the
Social Security AIT, securities
regulation, programs for cheaper
power, bank reforms, utility hold
ing company regulation, farm re-
lief measures and the reciprocal
tariff legislation. The most I'M
favorable factor in the entire pic
ture is the continued millions of
unemployed in the midst of gen.
orally increasing business activity
and the consequent relief burden
that the Federal government is
carrying.

He points out that a tax on this
unjust enrichment" would be
only fair to the vast number who
did not resort to court action and
have paid the tax. The return
from this tax on ''windfalls'
would be received in this and
the next fiscal year but would
not yield enough to offset tho
money lost by the court decision.
To make up the difference, the
President suggests the cOnsidera-
ton of an excise on the process
ing of certain agricultural pro-
duets. He points out that by in
creasing the number OF cOmmodi-
ties, by lowering the rates of tho
old processing tax and by spread
ing it over two or three years.
only a relatively light burden
would be imposed on the pro-
ducers, consumers OR professors"

While leaving to the "discre-
ton of Congress" the method OF
raising the revenue, President
Roosevelt offered a suggestion,
which is the basis for the wide
spread discussion now going on.
To begin with, the President
would repeal taxes which have
been counted on to produce APP
proximately a billion dollars a
year and in their place levy a
proper tax on corporate incomes
(including dividends from other
corporation") which is not dis
tributed as earned. He would
repeal: Q) present corporate in
come taxes which are expected to
yield $2S6.000, 900; ~ the CAPT.
tai stock tax, estimated to yield
$163, 100000; 81 the corpora
ton excess profits tax, estimated
to yield 100000; and. in addi-
ton, (4) eliminate the present
exemption of dividends from the
normal tax on individual incomes.
The rate of the tax, he said.
should be so graduated and fixed
as to yield the same revenue as
would be yielded eff corporate
profits were distributed and taxed
in the hands of stockholders.

Borah OhioP riularyDe Declaration
Would Force Rivals Into Race
Seeking To Compel Other
Republican Presidential
Possibilities "To Show
Their Hand"
By WILLIAM s. WHITE
(Dy Associated PresS)

WASHINGTON, March TO-
Senator Borah, out to '1iberalize"
the Republican party, is seeking
a great showdown in Ohio, moth
err of seven Presidents-and all
of them Republicans.
To belabor the ancient political
implements of uninstructed dele
cations and 'favorite son" candi-
dates, he is using as a club a pri-
mary election law of that state.
Here is how the statute of pi-
votal Ohio-where, politically.
east meets west-serves his pur-
pose:
Under its terms. states pledged
to a presidential candidate may be
entered on the ballot of the May
IL primary only if the candidate
himself has filed, by March II,
formal permission for such a step.
Opponent On The Spot
Borah has announced he will
file. Thus he may place adver-
saries in the possibly uncom-
Portable position of having to
make their candidates. public
early in the game.
The situation confronts them !:
If they mean to go all the way
against Borah in Ohio they must
make it known long before pri-
maries will be held in other
states-before they can know
which way the wind blows else
where.
Thus, any plan in Ohio to send
to the Cleveland aon,uNntion : a
"favorite son" or an uninstrueted
delegation might easily run
against the practical obstacle or
Borah on the one side and addi-
tiOnal avowed candidates on the
other. These latter might be
forced formally to enter the lists
in Ohio as insurance against a
possible victory by default for
Borah.
Wide Open Vote
This would mean throwing the
primary wide open to a vote on all
corners by the rank and file-ex-
actly what Borah wants, perhaps
more than the nomination itself.
In this connection, Senator Ar
thur H. Vandenburg, of Michigan,
mentioned as a Republican presi-
dental possibility, has declined to
file.
The uninstructed delegation has
been used often as a means of
holding a state delegation in con-
troll until its strength could be
turned to the candidate favored
by the state leaders.
Meanwhile. although political
observers are keeping one eye on
Ohio, they are not overlooking
othr states.
For example, both Borah and
Col. Frank Knox, one of the top
ranking states in terms of cleo
toral vote. Governor Alfred Ian
don. of Kansas, another presiden-
tial possibility. has not filed.
In states which do not have
presidential primaries, delegates
to the national conventions in
June which are pledged to par
ticular candidates or are unpledg-
ed. are chosen at state party
conventions.

Reviewing the fiscal policy of
his Administration, President
Roosevelt maintained it's funda-
mental soundness, assuring the
members that receipts of the Gov
eminent are rising definitely and
sharply and that Federal expen-
ditures can be reduced so that
the increase in government in
come will be able to pass "the
declining cost OF relief" To
maintain this policy. the President
insisted that it was necessary to
make good the loss of revenue
caused by the Supreme Court de-
cision and the increase in ex-
penses caused by the adjusted
compensation payment act.

DISCUSSING TAXES
PRESIDENTS SUGGESTION
NEW CORPORATION LEVY
TAKES CARE OF LOSS
ROOSEVELT'S THREE YEARS
CANDIDATES WORKING
DISCUSSING TAXES
By HUGO SIMS,
The Citizens Special Washington
Correspondent

Idling along last week and
waiting for the Presidents mes
sage on taxes, Congress found
plenty to work on after the Presi-
dent recommended sweeping
changes. Discussion continues,
with much difference OF opinion,
but with Congress nevertheless
impressed by the fact that when
appropriations are voted, taxes
must be levied.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-03-10

Breaking down the figures, Mr..
Roosevelt pointed out that the
Supreme Court decision adversely
affected the budget by one bill
lion, seventeen million dollars, as
follows: (1) a deficit due to a
failure to receive processing taxes
to equal expenses they were ex-
pected to pay, $281,OOO,OOO; CD
expenditures approved in appro-
priation act, 1886, $296,000,000;
g. estimated expenditures under
soil conservation and domestic al
lotment act, $44O,OOO,OOO
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-03-10

This sum of more than a billion
dollars, which must be raised to
keep the budget in line with ear
lier estimates includes a perma-
nent annual cost OF about $780,
100000 for farm relief provided
and also the estimated net loss to
the government through process
ing taxes which have not been
collected. However, in addition
to the money required for the
farmers, the Congress has been
asked to provide a sum to meet
the additional cost of paying the
adjusted compensation certificates
OF the veterans this year instead
Of in 1915, when they would
otherwise have become due. To
do this, in nine years. will require
an annual charge of $120,000,0
Therefore, the President wants
permanent taxation to provide
$620,000,000 but he makes plain
that the money for the farmers
is a substitute for the old process
ing taxes and only that required
for the bonus payment is. new
taxation. r.

CALUMET AREA
Steel Workers Back Organi-
zati0n Campaign

Chicago (ILNS) - Representative
/ of 10000 steel workers in the Calumet
region have endorsed the Steel Work
ers' organizing committee, Van A.
Bittner, regional director of the
committee, announced here.
|, Bittner said the endorsement was
voted by IS employees representa-
tives, qualified to speak for the 10000
members of company unions in the
steel manufacturing center. The
meeting, he said was held in the office
auditorium of the Carnegie Illinois
Steel Corporation at Gary.
'sThe unanimous action Of represen-
tatives of the employees representation
plan of the Calumet region in joining
with the steel workers organization
committee" Bittner commented, ''is
the most important that has taken
place in the drive to organize, steel
workers."
The action was taken, Bittner said,
by men representing workers Of the
Illinois Steel Company, Youngstown
Sheet & Tube Company, Inland Steel
Corporation, Joliet works Carnegie
Illinois Steel Corporation, south works
Carnegie-l Illinois Corporation, Gary
Screw and Bolt Company, Gary Sheet
Mill Company, Gary Tin Mill, Amer
lean Bridge Company, and Universal
Atlas Cement.
A resolution adopted by the en-
ploye Representatives and signed by
Joe Coin, chairman, and George A.
Patterson, secretary, said:
The employees representation plan
which is sponsored and maintained by
the employers and of which we are the
representatives, is not bonafide la
Dor organization; it has utterly failed
to improve the economic and social
standing of steel workers and their
families. There is no hope for such
plan to benefit the steel workers in
the future. 1t is purely set-up to
continue exploitation of the workers
and against the welfare of the
nation.
I'VE firmly believe in the democratic
form of government and its institu-
tions. Knowing of the world wide
economic and political disorders, the
situation of our nation calls for an
immediate action for the establish
ment of an industrial democracy by
means of collective bargaining.
Therefore, be it resolved, that We
join with the steel workers organic
ing committee whose purpose is to
perfect a powerful industrial organ
ization of all steel workers and pledge
ourselves to assist in securing legit-
innate collective bargaining in the
steel industry of the land"

Publicly Owned
Utilities Grow

Washington (ILNS)-A steady in
crease in public ownership of electric
utility plants since 1929, matched with
a drop in the number of privately
owned units, was disclosed in a fed
eral power commission report.
Last year, the figures showed, the
country had 4,o10 plants generating
electricity for public use, of which
3,027 were privately owned and 983
were publicly owned. The total CONF
pared with 1887 in 1884 and 4,040
in the peak year of 1920.
The 983 publicly owned plants COM
pared with 931 in 1884 and 81 in
1929, while the 3,027 private plants
last year compared with 3,056 in 1884
and 3,031 in 1929.

Program
Radio

"The Voice of Labor" series of
discussions of labor's problems and
objectives goes on the air beginning
in October. The series is being arrang-
ed by the Ohio State Federation of
Labor, assisted by representatives of
the economic department of the Ohio
State University, the Federal Work
ers' Education Program and the
Workers Education Bureau of Amer
ica.
1t is planned to have discussed
weekly by labor leaders, college men,
and others acquainted with labor con-
ditions topics of interest to labor and
the general public. Lectures will be
arranged in series on such general
subjects as Wages" sThe State in
Relation to Labor" What Workers
Want" Principles of Organized La
bor," ''The Worker as a Consumer"
etc. Special features will be labor
plays and labor musical programs. So
far as possible presentations will be
in the form of interviews, panel dis
cussions and debates. Questions re-
lating to subjects discussed will be
answered from time to time.
1t is expected that the Voice of
Labor" will be heard during the eve
ming hours, early in the week, and at
some period most suited to the work
ers and others interested. Announce
ment will be made on completion of
arrangements.
This will be the first statewide
radio program for education purposes
under the auspices of the Ohio State
Federation Of Labor and cooperating
agencies. 1t is believed that better
understanding of the problems, prin-
ciples and detectives of workers by
the workers and the public will be
helpful in stimulating general CO
operation in the solution of our in
dustrial problems. ;
