VXIASHINGTON, March IL.
w When the President first
sent to Congress his plan for the
taxation OF surplus corporation
profits, Muley Bob Doughton
of North Carolina, chairman of
the House Ways and Meaus
Committee, was none too enthu.
siastic. He wasn't outright hos
tile, but he had his doubts.
Then Doughton's committee be-
gan considering possible alterna-
tive taxes. 1t listened to Chester
Davis, Triple-A Administrator,
who supplied a long list of sub
stitutes for processing taxes.
Prominent among these Substi-
tutes was an item calling for
33 1-3 per cent increase in the
excise tax on tobacco.
Tobacco happens to be a ma
jor crop in North Carolina. Also,
Doughton not only happens to be
candidate for reelection this
year, but wants to run against
Senator Bob Reynolds in 1888. A
tobacco tax for him would be
political suicide.
Doughton took one look at the
tobacco item and stiffened. "You
don't propose to increase the tax
on tobacco?" he asked Chester
Davis.
1T would be necessary if the
Presidents program were re-
jected," was the answer.
Next day Doughton made
nationwide radio address. In
it he voiced unequivocal approval
of Roosevelt's corporal on tax.
Il am particularly impressed"
he acclaimed, "by the wisdom and
the tinlelinesS of the Presidents
suggestion for revision of our
system of taxation of corporation
profits, a system justly open to
severe criticism"
THE complete informality of
l. relations between the Pres
ident and the White House staff
continues to amaze strangers I'M
accustomed to it.
Some time ago, Roosevelt was
engaged in an important confer

ence on the reduction of farm
acreage. Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace and other high officials of
the AAA were present.
Suddenly Marguerite LIE Hand,
Roosevelt's personal secretary,
burst into the room.
81 just couldn't help telling
you," she said to the President,
Mrs. Sam Roseman just tele-
phoned from New York to tell me
about young Sam. He is going to
school, and the other day they had
a memory test. They all had to
recite their fathers telephone
numbers.
"And when it came young Sans
turn, what do you think he said?
He drew himself up in very dig
nifled manner, and said: My
father has a private telephone
number and I an not permitted
to disclose it,"
After that the presidential dis
cussion of crop acreage continued.
Note-Judge Sam Roseman, now
a justice of the New York State
Supreme Court, once was head of
Roosevelt's original Brain Trust in
Albany. Roosevelt always has
been fond of him.
TT looks like busy year for Rep.
Il John O'Connor, who has kept
one jump ahead of the kick he
was going to give Father Cough
lin. Several prominen5 Tam
manyites in the "gas house" dis
trict which he represents are
being strongly urged to run
against O'Connor on the ground
that, although a Democrat and
chairman of the House Rules
Committee, he has opposed i'm
portant New Deal legislation.
Rep. Jennings Randolph d., w.
Va.) has introduced bill to erect
a memorial to DR.. Samuel A.
Mudd, who set the leg of John
Wilkes Booth, Lincoln assassin.
Randolph introduced the bill one
day after a moving picture de-

mier Alberhart has, at the
moment, other fish to fry.
Moreover, as acute Social
Creditors are beginning to per-
ceive, the mamma, if and when it
descends, will not fall as freely
as the snow. Under Mr.. Aber-
hart's program, there is catch
to the $25 per. The Premier
stoutly insists-heretically, &C
cording to the Douglas Social
Credit true believers-that all
moneys paid out in social divi-
dendS must be recovered" by
the province in taxes. He pre-
fers tc call the taxes levies.
TNASMUCH as the price or vir-
Il tually all products exported"
by Alberta is fixed in outside mar
kets-wheat in Liverpool, hogs in
Chicago, etc.-the levies could not
be assessed against consumers
elsewhere. The burden would
fall on Alberta's producers and
consumers alone, who, as divi-
dend receivers, may be privileged
to pay into the Provincial Treas
ury sum roughly approXimating
that which, with the other hand,
they have drawn out of the State
Credit House.
A process which was disparag-
ingly described to me, a visiting
layman IMMERSED in the subtleties
of Prophetic Bible Institute eco
Monies, as robbing Peter to pay
Peter, Paul to pay Paul.
The Premier granted me an in
terview, through the kind Offices
of his attorney general, John HUI
gill, K. c., to discuss these points.
I was agreeably surprised by his
candor, his thoughtfulness and
seeming sincerity. I had listened
to radio broadcast from the

Calgary Institute in which the
Premier painstakingly attempted
to reconcile, for an inquirer, two
passages in which st. Paul ap-
parently had contradicted himself
on the subject of women preach
ing.
I took that to be merely the
working out of a private hobby,
not demonstration of his public
capacity.
TN the red-carpeted legislative
i chamber, I had observed Mr..
Aberhart leading His Majesty's
government from the front bench
unhurried and dignifed; his voice
didactic and precise like a school

He easily dominated his SIS
members, none of whom ever had
sat before in a legislative body, as
he did his Cabinet, which includes
Mr.. Chant, farmer; Mr. FalloWs,
a railway station agent; Mr. Cock
roft, solvent country storekeeper,
and Mr.. Manning, secretary of the
Prophetic Bible Institute. The
speaker is a Mormon bishop.
All parliamentary uprisings of
the people produce untried leaders
from. the humber walks. When
the United Farmers antedated
Aberhart's sweep in 1921, only one
of their majority had legislative
experience. The Alberta Legisla-
ture has only one house.
The Premier, tall, over-f1eshed,
and who, like the Bryan of his
admiration, is never tardy for
meals, has what is known as a
fine presence"
A rounded man, with roundish
bald head, rounded broad shoul-
ders; round eyes and decidedly
full lips. Mr. Aberhart gives a first
impression of benevolence. The
freshness of his blue eyes modi-
fies that impression.

the Premier disapproves of frivol-
ity in the form of alcohol, tobacco,
cosmetics, dancing, card-playing
and horse-racing.
TN our interview the Premier eX-
l. pressed himself with conviction
on three points: Cd that sooner
or later he would be paying the

would restore prosperity and we'll

unless the money is recov-
ered," he declared positively, sit
will be no better than fiat
money and we would have infa-
ton, which would harm every
one"
He was reminded that Douglas
social credit proposes distribution
of credit gratis, both to consumer
and producer, disavowing "recov-
cry" of the credits. He replied
briefly that Maj. Douglas, who is
Chief Reconstruction Adviser to
the Alberta government, had not
seen fit to furnish him with a
plan whereby that could be done.
Douglas, the Social Credit
Moses, and Aberhart, the polit-
ically empowered North American
apostle, have worked at cross
purposes since the election. Re-
peatedly. the government has
announced dispatch of cabled
invitation to Douglas; just as re-
peatedly Douglas or the Social
Secretariat in London has denied
receipt of such a message. Or
thodox Social Creditors lay the
apparent rift to Vaccinations bv
bankers.
The difference, in my opinion,
may be understood on simpler
grounds. Mr.. Aberhart's Social
Credit is a composite of Douglas.
DR.. Townsend and the late Huey
Long. He took from Douglas the
premise that, owing to flaw in
the price system, buying power
never equals the price of goods
and services ready at hand.
From Townsend he borrowed the
transaction, or. turn over, tax as a
means of financing the subsidies.
Long contributed share-the-wealth
principles out of which flowed Mr..
Aberhart's Recommendations to
the Douglasites-tllat citizen is
entitled to an income mo greater
than he and his loved ones can
possibly enjoy"

Credit and a problem in recon-

Edmonton. The Premier expects
him after the current legislative
session. ~
Meanwhile Mr., Aberhart has
stilled protest by announcing that
he will have the legislature en-
power the council, composed of his
cabinet and the lieutenant-gov-
ernor, a f1gure-head representing
the crown, to put Social Credit
into effect-at later date.

THE Premier has not settled
u on a formula for distributing
and recovering the dividend, al
though the 'capanual" he wrote
as a campaign textbook was moth
ing if not specific. Frankly, he
admits that ne awaits expert adj

as advocated by German econo-
mist.
The scheme revolves abort the
theory of velocity, i. E., that if
money turns over fast enough it's
scarcity is overcome. Douglas un-
sparingly denounces the theory.
