F. D. R. CRACKS DOWN ON COP.
 TAX METHODS
Republican Administration Reduced Levy in Higher
 Brackets, He Says
LEFT BURDEN TO
 LOW INCOME GROUP
Chief Executive Reiterates No New or Increased
 Tax Necessary Now

WORCESTER, Mass, Oct. 22. - President Roosevelt in an address here last night coupled an answer to what he called talk about high taxes under this administration" with the assertion that the nation, as in 1776 must choose this year between democracy in taxation and special privilege in taxation"
 The President spoke to a crowded auditorium in his major speech in his swing through New England. He talked almost entirely on taxation and repeated that new or increased taxes are not necessary to balance the budget and to begin soon the rapid reduction of the national debt.
 Based Big Fellows
 The Chief Executive said that at the time of the World War another (CiilOSl dblC u dblOii lldQ DiO- vided enough taxes to pay the en- tire debt in Is years and levied &C., cording to. the ability to pay, but succeeding Republican administra- tions didn't believe that principle and there was reason. They had political debts to those who sat at their elbow. To pay these politi- cal debts they reduced taxes to their friends in the higher brackets and left the national debt to be paid by later generations.
 Because they evaded their obli- gation the depression of 1929 start ed with a sixteen billion dollar handicap on us and our children.
 The President said the same group would like to get back in power again. He argued that the New Deal had improved and Americanized taxes" by the operation of the prin- ciple of taxation according to the ability to pay.
 Ability to Pay
 The President asserted.
 Here is my principle. Taxes shall be levied according to the abil- ity to pay. That is the only Ameri- can principle"
 President Roosevelt said he had inherited from the previous admin istration tax structure which im- posed an unfair tax burden on the low income groups and on the aver age American by a Hong list of taxes on purchases for consumption hidden taxes" He declared that when the New Deal took office in 1883, 5S cents out of every dollar of Federal revenue came in hidden taxes as compared with, eliminating liquor taxes, only 38 cents of the Federal tax dollar now.

U. s. SENATOR COUzENS DIES
 IN H0SP|TA AL
Millionaire Passes Away Suddenly Today Fol-
 lowing Operation

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 22.-Unit-. ed States Senator James Couzens, aged GA, independent Michigan Re- publican, strong supporter of the New Deal and recently defeated in the state primaries for renomina- ton, died suddenly this afternoon after undergoing an operation to relieve uremic poisoning.
 A career that is found more often in story book than in actual life was that of James Cauzens.
 It was a career that took him from train butcher and $40-a- month car checker to success in the auto motive industry and the distinction of being one of the wealthiest men in the United States Senate.
 Ford Millionaire
 It frequently was said that MT. Couzens was one of the several mill lionaires created by the Ford Mo- tor Company; that he put s2,5o0 in- to the company and took out S30,- 100000 The statements are not exactly correct. It would be more nearly correct to say that Couzens was one of the creators of the Ford Motor Company, for certainly he put more than his money into the company when he joined hands with Henry Ford and a few others in 1903 to organize what was destin- ed to become an industrial colossus.
 Testifying in the greatest income tax suit the government ever insti- tuted-a suit to enforce collection of $30,85l ,659.52 from Couzens and other former minority stockholders of the Ford Motor Company an early associate declared: Tt was due to his efforts that the company became a success. The team work of him and MT. Ford contributed to make a bigger success than would have been possible had either gone on alone. MT. Couzens gave the best part of his life to the com- pany"
 Another associate said that 50 per

 A couple of chairs away, lounged William Paul Youngs, shivering a bit as he told sympathetic cir cle of fellow pilots how to keep a power plant cool when it is 130 degrees in the shade.

 Robbins is here from his Pacific Alaska Airways. job at Fairbanks, Alaska, and Youngs is here from Brazil, the scene of the Panair- Brazil line of operations.
 Winter Flying
 Robbins said the airplane is in- dispensable in the north because seventy five per cent of all flying there is done in the winter, from November to May, when heavy snow, ice and bitter cold block all transportation but dog sled and the dogs can hardly compete with the airplane even in the coldest weath- CT"
 Robbins also said the distance from Fairbanks to Nome is 530 air miles and plane makes it in five hours while it takes dogs al least 28 days"

 MT. Morgan. owed 50 years ago, came to the Pacific Coast as the member of famous battery and introduced baseball in San Fran cisco. Ae was catcher of the bat tery and this was the time when a catcher caught bare-.handed and without mask. How successfully the game was introduced bears evidence of the great strides of the diamond sport has made since then.
 Abandoning baseball for a more lucrative profession, MT. Morgan began representing various compan- ies and his mode of travel was var ried, on foot. by OK team, burro and horse in the early days. As transportation facilities advanced.
