taxes should be reduced, the speaker

GdhCS SllOuld NC ASo0NOAI eAAS oPNoANA
said.
Clausen, who has been the principal
spokesman for the chamber at con-
gressional tax hearings. pointed out
that the public debt will be s34,500,-
100000 at the end of this fiscal year,
and that there is no end in sight
and no apparent fixed determination
by the administration to establish its
boundary"
The statement has been attributed
to men in high position that this
situation should not cause grave con-
Germ as the resources of this Nation
can carry this admittedly large pub
lie debt" the speaker continued. I'm
fortunately. this is not the full equa-
ton when measuring the debt-carry-
ing ability of our people. Public eX-
penditures at the rate Of third
of the national income, and tax as
sessments exceeding one-flfth are
elements of overhead cost of ma
tional housekeeping that cannot be
lightly parried by the statement that
the Nation is able to carry a larger
debt"
Clausen hit at the expenditure of
public money to create industries
competing with private industries" i"
pointing out that this not only in
creases the tax burden. but makes it
harder for private concerns to pay
taxes.
The issuance of blank checks by
Congress and the resulting extrava-
gance of spending by executive Or
der"-he cited the Passamaquoddy
and Florida ship canal projects-also
drew fire.
Another speaker today was r. c.
Matthews of Toronto, president of
the Canadian Chamber of Commerce,
who bespoke continuance OF the
friendly relations between the Do
minion and the United States.
The convention will end tomorrow.
There will be an address by Secre-
tary of State Hull at the morning
session, while resolutions will be
adopted in the afternoon. The an
nual dinner will be held at the Will
lard tomorrow night.
Tonight at $50 president and Mrs.
Sibley and the vice presidents and
their wives will be hosts at a recep-
ton and dance to delegates and
members of their families at the
chamber.

It is clear that this tax and eX-
penditure program was soundly con-
ceived," he asserted.
THE only way budgetary condl-
ton can be improved is to reduce
expenditures, increase revenues or
provide a combination Of the two
alternatives" Osgood continued.
practically all attempts since 1882
to improve budgetary conditions have
centered on methods of increasing
revenue (through higher taxes rather
than an attempt to reduce expendi-
lures. The same effort spent on
determined policy to reduce expendi-
lures would have produced sounder
and more satisfactory results"
The acts of 1882 and 1884, the
speaker said, had emphasized the
principle of halting alleged tax eva
sions," with the result that the ma
jority was penalized for the acts Of
q few.
Gives Partial Praise.
"Yet with all this emphasis on
repression of tax avoidance, they have
left open the widest gateway of es-
cape through the use of Federally
tax-exempt securities" he said. add
ing that the President should be
commended for seeking cure here.
The act of 1885, Osgood continued,
was not only inconsequential in its
revenue producing ability, but was out
of line with all sound plans of taxa
tion. Some of its so-called reforms,
even before they are applied. would
be thrown into the discard by new
reforms now proposed"
The pending bill, the banker con-
eluded, has number of weaknesses.
In proposing to tax undistributed in
come, he asserted, it in effect would
levy a penalty to encourage greater
distribution of dividends so the Gov
ernment could collect from that
source.
Says Judgment to Suffer.

BILLION FOR FLOOD.
PROGRAM IS URGED.
113W Waterways Projects Ap.
proved by Rivers and
Harbors Congress.~

Delegates to the thirty-flrSt annual
convention of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress, which conclud-
ed two-day meeting at the Mayflower
Hotel yesterday, were returning home
today. after urging the Government
to adopt billion dollar flood control
and navigation program, including the
congreSsionally- abandoned Florida
ship canal.
mo expenditures for public works
give the people as large a return as
the improvement of our waterways for
food control and navigation, and we
reaffirm our advocacy of permanent
and beneficial public works that con-
tribute to the advancement of the
Nation" the congress resolved.
Among ll3 waterways projects ap-
proved without debate as worthy of
immediate construction were two for
improvement of the north side of
washington channel and of the harbor.
Roosevelt Voices Views.
Coincidental with the congress &C
ton in proposing a large-scale flood
control and navigation program,
President Roosevelt said at a press
conference that he viewed flood con-
troll as problem of both Federal and
local governments. Regulation of
streams at their headwaterS is prime
necessity, he declared.
The President said municipalities
and States should share the cost of
flood control at headwaters. He
emphasized that his reference to
flood control had no connection with
the omnibus flood control bill now
pending in Congress.
The omnibus bill ard the Overton
bill to extend ood-control works on
the lower Mississippi were indorsed
by the Rivers and Harbors Congress,
which also urged that Army Engi-
neers be directed to carry out a
sound policy of national flood con-
troll"
'Quoddy Not Mentioned.
While the congress recommended
completion of the Florida Canal, il
took no action on two other huge
projects which have been rejected by
the Senate, the ST. Lawrence water
way and the Passamaquoddy Bay
tidal project.
Frank r. Reid of Aurora, Ill, was
reelected president of the congress.

Board of Directors, Fred Beneke,

Girl May Regard Mother
as Rizul, Jordan Explains

pathy she could rely would be a val
liable ally. Has her father tried
talking to her alone, without refer
ence to you? If his influence is
greater than yours, he might be
able to solve the problem. He ought
not to correct her before you, and
should establish himself as her ally,
not yours, if he wants to be success
full.
Your cue is to make your daugh-
ter feel more important in the
household. Avoid all criticism for
the time being or conceal criticism
with a compliment. Instead of
suggesting a clean dress say, "You
look so pretty in such and such a
dress, wouldn't you like to wear
it?" Defer to her judgment, ask
her opinion, consult her wishes
and by all means let her select her
own clothes. The more decisions
she makes for herself, the better.
Introduce her to your friends, be
courteous to her friends, ask her aid
instead of issuing orders. Call the
attention of the entire family to any
achievement, no matter how small.
Listen to her conversation and never
discourage her by holding her ideas
in low esteem. In other words, treat
her exactly as if she was an adult
in the family whose friendship and
cooperation you wish to win. Avoid
all reference to my little girl and
anv attitude which suggests it.

T0day's Contract Problem
Your partner has opened

Solution to Previous
Contract Problem
Solution in next issue. IS,
BY w. E. MKENNEY

American Bridge League Secretary
TT is well known that, in those
Il cases where disastrous penal
ties have been paid as result
of Overlooking, the cause of all
the trouble has been the fact
that somebody has made a fore
ing bid without any assurance
that the combined hands would
fit well enough to justify such
optimism.
For that reason, the expert
player very rarely forces. BY
means of constructive bids, invi-
rational bids, reversal of suits
and semi-forces, he tells his part
ner that he has very strong
hand, and permits his partner to
decide whether, in view of this
fact, bidding should go on.
Therefore, this principle has
now been evolved:
Where the responder has not
passed originally, and makes
simple suit response, his call is
a forcing bid for one round.
u II
or course, We all are familiar
" with the principle that a
simple one-over- overcall Is
forcing for one round. Under the
new rule, this is also true of a
bid of two in lower ranking suit,
over an opening bid of one in a
higher ranking suit.
The result of this is twofold.
First, it voids the old requirement
that you must respond with a
jump overcall, when holding 81
