Father Coughlin's 26 political
broadcasts last year cost him s21O, 900,
according to the top radio trade mag
azine. Broadcasting. The costs in
cluded wires. transmission, etc. The
non-political technical journal says
Father Coughlin has apparently no
intention of resuming his broadcasts
until next October, and therefore
assumes he will not participate in the
presidential campaign until the last
moment. His broadcasting costs are
apparently becoming onerous.
Secretary Morgenthau has an
nounced that proof coins of the 1-cent
denomination will be sold by his
Treasury for is cents, plus the face
value of cent, plus 8 cents postage.
Total, "a cents; profit, 23 cents, or 1900
per cent.
Apparently Mr.. Morgenthau did not
read Mr.. Roosevelt's new price-cost
theory, or accept the theory of his
own tax bill against excess profits, or
fear the Federal Trade Commission.

Politicos Disgruntled
Over Slips Blamed
on New Adviser.
BY PAUL MALLON.

1T IS too much of a White House
secret ever to be fully proved. but
President Roosevelt appears to
have been working with brand
new confidential adviser lately. The
newcomer is supposed to be a master
of radio broadcasting technique,
schooled in radio news and religious
commentator. To him, the closest
OF insiders attribute slightly different
Rooseveltian style-tone exhibited in
the Baltimore and New York speeches.
The DorId outside wiu recognize

Committee headquarters here, ap-
parently to help in the coming

earnings would approximate 964 mil
lions. The department also has es-
timated that under the present law
more than AZ billion dollars Of cor
poration income in the calendar year
1886 will be withheld from stockhold-
ers and that if this income were fully
distributed to the individual owners
Of the stock represented in these
corporations, the resultant yield in
additional individual income taxes
would be about one billion three hun
dred millions.
With tax avoidance occurring on
the scale indicated by the figures
have cited, do not see how any
increase in individual income tax rates
or other general and continuing taxa
ton could be justified until this leak
in our tax system is stopped.
Whatever may be the debatable con-
siderations that may enter into the
preparation of particular schedules, it
will be well to bear in mind at all
times that this is purely and simply
a proposal to put all taxes on business
profits essentially on the same equi-
table basis; to give no advantages and
to impose no penalties upon corpora
ton stockholders that are not given to
and imposed upon the individual tax
payer who alone or as partner de-
rives his income from business profits.
In closing, let me say this: I sin
cerely hope that this committee will
report to the Senate bill giving effect,
as fully as possible. to the Presidents S
recommendations of the amount of
additional revenue needed to supply
the deficiencies created since the bud

Morgenthau Tax Texts
Secretary Of Treasury Quotes President Roosevelt
in Testimony Before Senate Committee.

The text Of Secretary Morgenthau's
prepared statement to the Senate
committee which today began public
hearings on the Roosevelt tax pro-
gram:
welcome the opportunity to appear
and discuss with you the tax pro-
posals contained in the Presidents
message to the Congress of March 8
and to present the Treasury's view
point.
As Secretary of the Treasury, fee
special responsibility to do all in
my power to maintain the integrity
Of the Presidents budget Of January
3, 1885,, and, therefore, to urge that
the supplemental revenues made nee
essary by the developments of the past
few months be provided.
The Treasury has been able to bor-
row readily the amounts necessary to
finance the recovery program and has
been able to obtain these loans at
steadily decreasing interest rates. The
continuance Of this satisfactory situ-
alton. however. will depend upon
scrupulous adherence to an orderly
program looking to balance Of the
Federal budget just as soon as the
needs and abilities of our people make
that possible and thereafter upon 9
steady reduction in the public debt.
Cites Presidents Message.
In his budget message Of January
3, 1896, the President made this state.
ment: If the Congress enacts legis.
lation at the coming session which
will impose additional charges upor
the Treasury, for which provision il
not already made in this budget,
strongly urge that additional taxes bt
provided to cover such charges. 1t i!
important as We emerge from the de.
preston that no new activities bt
added to the Government unless pro.
vision is made for additional revenu.
to meet their cost"
At another point in the same mes
sage, the President said: 1T is peril
nent to repeat here a statement ap-
pearing in the summation of the 1886
budget: Estimates of receipts contem-
plate continued collection Of process
ing taxes. If the attack which has
been made upon this act is sustained
we will have to face the problem OF
financing existing contracts for bene-
fit payments out of some form OF
new taxes"
On the very day the Presidents
budget message was read to the Con-
gress. the Supreme Court Of the United
States rendered a decision holding the
agricultural adjustment act unconsti-
tutional.
Bonus Bill Passed.
Since that date the Congress has
enacted, over the Presidents veto, the
adjusted compensation payment act
Of 1886, which requires payment, be-
ginning on June Is. of the entire
amounts, which were to be due in
1945 and thereafter, on the veterans
adjusted service certificates. The ad-
ditional cost Of making these pay
ments this year, when distributed
over the next nine years, comes to
approximately s12o,000,000 a year.
The Congress has provided for carry
ing on continuing program Of con-
servation Of the Nations agricultural
resources which will result in expen-
ditures Of approximately $500, 0,000, 900

Who's Who on High.
Note-Who's Who lists Stanley Hof
lund High as an editor, Al years DID,
and recites his war aviation record, his
connections with the Methodist Mis-
sion to China Q9l9. his career as
European correspondent for the
Christian Science Monitor, current
events broadcaster for the Christian
Science Monitor, current events
broadcaster for the National Broad
casting Co. and finally as religious
broadcasting director for N B. c. In
the radio trade, his N. B. c. position
was regarded as that of peacekeeper
| among various religious factions. His
| broadcasts were not what the trade
would call commercial" his sponsors
being church organizations. Those
who recall his radio style say it was
rapid fire and scholarly.
Mr.. Rooseuelt's excellent political
advisers (the nominal oneS) may

than he deserves, but they are TN
mistakably nettled about his posi-
ton. Frankly, they belieue his

pacities is mistake, for several
technical reasons
The reaction to the Baltimore
speech was not what the Democratic
publicity experts would call popular.
The hush in Congress afterward was
devastating.
There was nothing particularly
wrong about the economics used by
the President in New York, but eco
! nonics is not an exact science. 1t is
an argument. The mistake was that
the President got into it at all. At
least this is the way the experienced
politicos at the top of the Democratic
campaign feel about it. Their inf1u-
ence may bring shift in the inside
lineup, even before this reaches your
eye.
Want Airy Nothings.
Mr.. Roosevelt'S politicos would like
to make him refrain from saying any,
thing, even such mild things as he said
in New York. They are nearly all
convinced now that the tax program
was an additional error committed in
haste. The corporate earnings dis
tribution scheme will just not work out
satisfactorily the way it was conceived
by the Treasury or even in the milder
form of the present House bill.
Consequently, the impression is
widespread on the inside that every
time Mr.. Roosevelt has spoken lately
he has failed to help himself. The
boys believe that if he had not said
anything. the current odds on his elec-
ton would be more than to S.
1t pould not be surprising if you
hear shortly that the June CAM
pdign trip into the West is being
cancelled or curtdiled. He Uds
scheduled to 90 into Kentucky,
Indiana, Arkansas and TEXAS, but
you 1utll not see that schedule
carried out fully at any rate.
Note-An inkling of a change was
conveyed to Gov. McNutt on his white
House visit. The President told Nc
Mutt the June date at Vincennes
might have to be postponed until June
IA or ''early in July" Congress will
furnish the reason.

A good deal Of work is being done
by the Landon campaign managers in
the South. in the hope Of lining up
many of the delegates for the Cover
nor in that section of the country.
The drive of the Roosevelt Demo-
Gratis to bring out a million votes for
the President in the Pennsylvania
preferential primary seems to have
fallen short of that figure by 10000.
Furthermore, about 10000 votes were
cast by Democrats against the Presi-
dent in the primary. These anti
Roosevelt Democrats voted for Col
Henry Breckenridge.
The Borah vote in the Pennsylvs-

the entire Republican organization in

presidential nomination and hundreds
of thousands Of Republicans who cast
ballots in the primary on Teusday did
not vote at all their preference for

Will Washington have a Metro
politan Opera Company visit this
season? H. Howard Taubman, in
his report of the opening of the
Metropolitan Opera season Mon
day night, says in Tuesdays New
York Times: "An enlarged tour is
in Mr.. Johnson's manager of the
Metz scheme of spreading the
Metropolitan'S prestige and exam
pie. Arrangements are being COM
pleted for a longer trip than last
year. At least three weeks will be
Sr ent on the road-in Boston, Bal
timore and Cleveland, and posi-
bly, Rochester and Washington"
Here's hoping that the pending
arrangements will bo completed
soon. It has been some time since
the Metropolitan Opera Company
visited Washington. The greatest
obstacle in the way of such a visit
is the lack of a large enough thea
ter. A couple of the largest down
town movie houses are the only
places that fill the requirements.
But we understand that such
theater must be rented for an en-
tire week in order to fit in with the
usual movie schedule.
The time may be at hand when
Washington will support a full
weeks season of the Metropolitan
Opera Company. Last season the
Metropolitan gave three perform
anceS in Baltimore which drew
heavily from Washington. The
opening performance in New York
Monday night brought in a total
of $4,000 in receipts, with seats
ranging from $40 to standing room
admissions at So.

years, the Metropolitan season

factory that Manager Johnson
promises 16 weeks next season.
The Saturday matinees will be

Of the organization is on a high

in the orchestra was heard sep

result that Is musicians were
