half billion dollars for running expenses.
No sensible person questions the need OF
taxes for legitimate purposes. Within his ability
to pay he pays such taxes willingly Billions
have been spent for relief purposes, and the
principle has not been seriously questioned.
Those who are dependent must be cared for by
society, and government is the agency by which
this should be accomplished 1t is still true that
governments are for the people, and the peoples
needs should be a governments first corcern.
Which means that there are many perfectly le-
ultimate expenditures which must and should be
made by our national state and local govern
ments and that the funds to meet these expendi-
lures must and should be raised by taxation.
Governments have no money of their own; what
they spend they must get in taxes When they
spend wisely and economically, there is little
objection; but taxpayers would rather squander
their own money than have government, any
government, do it for them. So we should ask
government, every government, to call halt on
any expenditures that can not be justified, to
stop any unnecessary squandering of the tax
payers money.
We have always been careless about such
things To many Of us have felt that some one
else was paying the taxes and that we were
not concerned Too many of us have believed
the statement, that most of our wealth is held by
small percentage of the people and that there
fore the enormous expenditures of government
could be met by soaking the rich" Nothing
could be farther from the truth. Congress passed
bill amied at the rich, but when it's sponsors
had gone as far as they dared, they found that
the bill would raise annually approximately
To fLo
deficit for only about twenty-five days.
Says Investor America: eff all incomes of
one million dollars or over were taken in full,
they would meet the expenses of our federal
government for less than one week. If all in
comes of five thousand dollars or over were TAX
en- in full by our national government they
would meet it's expenditures for only six and
one-half months To finance the government last
year would have taken two-thirds of all the
wages and all the salaries of all the citizens of
the United States, except those on government
payrolls"
So we the people must pay the bill Hon.
Oscar w. Underwood, one of the ablest men the
South ever sent to the Senate, put it this way:
eve must always bear in mind that the burdens
of the government rest upon the people who live
under it, and that in the last analysis it is the
human being who tolls that pays the bill. We
may try to fool ourselves int the belief that
taxes levied on wealth are not a burden on the
people who toll; but little information and a
few sums in addition can soon convince us that
if accumulated wealth really carried the load, it
would soon be exhausted. What paternalistic
government proposes to do for the people, in the
end the people themselves must pay for, with
the greatly added cost of the bureaus and COM
missions who engage in its administration"

Grayson said the President, prior to
departure for Buenos Aires, expressed
preference for an extremely simple
ceremony, with a parade "of sorts"
Before any further action Is taken on
inaugural arrangements, Grayson said,
he wishes to see whether Mr.. Roose-
welt has changed his mind as to the
scope of the program. The President
has been advised of popular demand
for a celebration on grand scale.
There will be no appointments Of

Grayson jestingly told reporters he
had consulted the Hagerstown Alma
mac and was pleased to learn that
January 20, the new inaugural date,
will be clear.
Grayson has been reluctant to take
on added responsibilities because of
pressure of his duties as chairman

PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad. De-
oember 11.-President Roosevelt landed
at Port-of-Spain today for q four
hour visit before starting the last lap
Of his trip homeward.
He came ashore at 10:40 am. from

ing newspaper men and officials aboard

The President declined to comment
on the abdication of King Edward. q

tGion, the committee said.
During the same session, another
committee recommended enactment Of
legislation by Congress to provide for
the taking Of an employment census
every five years and less extensive Pc
xiodic checks in the intervening years.
This committee set forth q list a
definition of employment, employ
ability and other factors which would
be used in guiding the census takers.
The committee suggested that the
task be undertaken by an established
governmental agency.
Committee Tax Report.
In its tax report, the committee de-
clared that inequalities, Implications,
conflicts and grave injustices to tax
payers" have been woven into the
tax structure in the search for new
revenue. Such conditions, the COM
mittee said, constitute "a serious bur-
den upon private enterprise, employ
ment and the consumptive capacity
OF the market"
The proposed study should be under
taken, the committee said, with a
view to:
Determining the deterrent effect of
present taxes upon enterprise and en-
ployment.
Recommending such changes as
will produce the maximum tax revenue
with the minimum burden on industry
and the consuming public, and by
making that part of income which Is
least useful in promoting private en-
terprise and employment bear the
greatest tax burden, and by taxing
income rather than the source of in
come"
Secretary Perkins Speaks.
Commenting a growing spirit of
cooperation on the part of employ
ers, workers and farmers, Secretary
Of Labor Perkins earlier predicted
that "the upward swing of recovery"
will be continued. The Government,
she said, will stand by to aid in ac-
complishing the objective.
The Secretary appeared before an
executive session of the council, where
the principal order of business was
the digestion Of seven committee re-
ports of last Spring on such major
controversial issues as maximum work
week, child labor, fair trade practices,
antitrust laws and Government COM
petition with private enterprise.
From all these the closed sessions
Of today were hoping to hammer out
. general legislative program to be
pressed >upon Congress by q special
committee Of the council.
Urges Survey Of Needs.
Miss Perkins brought q new plea
70 the industrialists present at the
session this morning in the form Of
an appeal to them to survey their
employment needs, particularly with
Q view to placing men over 40 and
heads Of families.
"All too frequently" she said, "the
experience and ability of the older
man Is passed by In favor Of an in.
experienced and not properly trained
younger worker. This Is bad for
both"
The Secretary reported that the
Employment Service Of the Labor De-
partment placed 100000 persons In
Jobs between July /, 1884, and July
/, 1896. OF these, she said, private
industry has placed more than q.
250,000, with the remainder finding
employment on various Federal pro-
grams.

SLAYER OF OMAN
BECOMES CATHOLIC
Barrett Turns to Church
as Death Nears.
BY SAM TYNDALL

The realization that he is soon to
die on the gallows for Staying a
Federal agent has caused George
w. Barrett to devote himself solely
to religion.
The quiet mild-mannered muir
derer now confined to the Marion
County jail infirmary under 24-hour
guard called for the Rev. John F..
McShane, pastor of st. Bridget's
Catholic Church, and was baptized
Friday.
Barrett was convicted in Deem
Der and sentenced to hang in the
Marion County jailyard March %
for killing Federal Agent Nelson B.
Klein.
He has given up all interests ex-
cept the Scriptures. I have been
reading to him every day." Father
McShane said. They are his sole
comfort"
Praising the intelligence of the
doomed prisoner, Father McShane
declared that "he has shown a broad
knowledge of religious history and
uses an unusual choice of words"
Barrett, considered model
prisoner" by Sheriff Ray, became i'll
several days ago and is now on a
diet of eggs, milk and oranges.
Fear that the prisoner might at
tempt suicide prompted the removal
recently of all articles thought to
be possible suicidal agents. These
included his suspenders and glasses

and the nation recruited thousands
of me harmed with Shovels and
snowplows to break through the
mountainous drifts.
At least eight deaths were at
tributed to the arctic wave.
Armed guards were posted around
10 derailed carloads of coal at

created statewide emergency. At
Des Moines, double shift operation
of Iowa's coal mines was proposed
in a plan for union officials by Gov.

One hundred and twenty-five
passengers on Chicago & North

hours of imprisonment amid the
drifts at Jackson, Wis. The state
ordered 1000 men and 800 snow
plows out to clear traffic arteries.
A school bus was blown off the
icy pavement near Peru, Ind None

Many schools closed.
Supplies were cut to the danger
point in parts of Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, Missouri, Kentucky and
Massachusetts,. Ashland, Wis, re-
ported the temperature at % de-
grees below zero.
A bitter northwest wind swept a
new cold wave down from the
Canadian Northwest, across the
Midwest and toward the East. Snow
which stalled trains and blocked
highways drifted back again after
plows dug out main transportation
lines.
Heavy rains swept streams in
four Southeastern states out of

Interested Parties Testify
Before Public Service
Commission.

The Public Service Commission
today took under advisement the
plea of the Municipal Power and
Light Co. of Huntington for the
right to operate a municipal plant
there in competition with the
Northern Indiana Power Co.
The commission indicated decision
would be made in few days in the
13-month fight between Mayor
Clare w. H. Bangs and the private
utility.
More than 100 of the mayors sup
porters appeared at a hearing be-
fore the commission yesterday to
confirm the executives statements
that rates are excessive and that a
municipality distributing and
generating plant is a necessity.
