and not too carefully concealed.
1t increases in proportion to the
internal dissension which churns
the Commerce Department.
No other Cabinet member has
achieved Roper's record for firing
or losing outstanding executives.
They quit because they can not
stomach the intrigue of his de-
partment.
Here is the record:
John Dickinson, the first Assist
ant Secretary of Commerce, quit
in disgust and was transferred to
Justice. His successor, Ernest G.
Draper, an able New York bust
ness man, is reported to be on the
verge of departure.
Ewing Y. Mitchell, another As
sistant Secretary, was fired amid
fusillade of charges and counter
charges regarding shipping and
efficiency.
Willard Thorpe, Roper's first
chief of the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce, was
axed by a Senate committee when
he came up for confirmation, as q
result of secret connivance by
some of Roper's henchmen.
Thomas NJ. Woodward, indepen-

" Revenue raising is only the
secondary objective of the Presi-
dents tax program.
Its chief purpose is the distribu-
ton of static wealth; to force into
use billions of dollars lying idle in
the Golfers of corporations.
The germ of this underlying So
cial motive was enunciated by
Roosevelt in his surprise tax mes
sage last May, when his target
was large inheritances.
Since then he has done consid-
cradle reading on the subject of
taxation, particularly four slender
volumes: Brass Tacks," by David
Cushman Coyle; Income and Eco
nonnic Progress" Americas Ca
pacity to Produce" and Americas
Capacity to Consume" the last
three published by Brookings In
stitution.
The central theme of these
studies is that the accumulation
of idle surplus reserves is clogging
economic recovery.
1t is at this blockade that the
President is battering with his tax
program. He believes that if the
piled up hoard of undivided cor
poration profits ESTIMATED by
Treasury experts at $4,50O,000, 000l
can be forced into movement, the
result will be a tremendous in
fusion of purchasing power, with
consequent benefits 20 business
and employment.
The New Deal policies of dollar
devaluation, government spend
ing and loan guaranteeing were all
aimed toward this end. The tax
plan is the latest, and in some re-
spects the most revolutionary. of
the Presidents experiments in this
basic economic problem.

chairman of the Board of Cover
nors of the Federal Reserve
System; Herman Oliphant, gen
eral counsel of the Treasury; and
Robert Jackson, counsel of the
Internal Revenue Bureau, recent
ly promoted by the President to
be Assistant Attorney General.
AS early as the fall of 1884
Jackson urged on the President
a drive against corporation sur
pluses. Eccles, a banker and in
dustrialist, also had long favored
such a program. Oliphant added
his voice when the Supreme Court
made new tax measure
necessary, by unbalancing the
budget with it's order returning
the S500O00,000 impounded pro-
cessing taxes.
THE nature of the Presidents
Il tax program was a carefully
guarded secret. 1t was complete
surprise to Democratic congress
sional leaders.
There was a good reason for
this wariness. All of the old-line
leaders were opposed to any kind
OF new tax measure. They favored
only a re-enactment of the proc
essing taxes in a new guise. Their
big argument was that political
strategy and expediency barred
tax legislation in election years.
Applied to a bill that digs down
into the pocket of the man in the
street, their theory is sound. But
the Presidents program doesn't do
that.
AS one veteran Senator ex-
pressed it, The scheme is the an
swer to politicians prayer. 1t
not only does not affect the aver
age person, but has the added at
traction of seeking corporations.
That's always popular. Further,
the great mass of stockholders will
be for it because it means more

The EUii Omen
CERVANTS wol

CERVANTS would carry her down the cellar of the
~ Capuchin Church in a chair with handles on it.
and after she had taken inventory of the bronze
boxes of varying sizes and pretenouSness she would
get back in the chair and cluck to the servants to get
going out of there.
But the last time she went visiting, one of the
handles of the chair broke and the Empress sat
the stone floor rubbing herself rabout the place
where she would have busted her flask if she had had
one, and declaring that this omen of her own
death. So she didn't go into the cellar again until
they carried her down and laid her beside her hus
band, who was pretty well kippered by this time.
The coffin weighs 10 tons, and seems almost too
much bronze to inclose queen and her gigoo hus
band when you consider how poor the country is and
what sort of burial Austria able to give a mil
lion who were killed or died in Galcia
Italy, Serbia and Siberia in the big war. They
weren't able to keep much track of them. They were
shoveled into holes or left just where they fell.
1t is just as good any other way, no doubt, but
the casual and blurry disposition of all those patriots
who fought for the Hapsburgs in war which they
knew nothing about presents interesting contrast
to the elaborate comfort of their departed rulers.
Outside the Capuchin Church a paralyzed ex-
soldier sat in wheel chair selling postcard pictures
of the burial boxes of his late lamented rulers and
around the corner there was line of rusty, grimy
people, most of them old and all of them withered
and detected carrying little buckets in which to re-
ceive ration of soup from the charitable fathers OF
