The Senate Finance Committee
wrestled inconclusively again today
with the problem of bringing the yield
of its tax bill in line with revenue
requests of President Roosevelt.
Chairman Harrison told reporters
after a committee. session behind
closed doors:
1T would seem we are short on
what we have done and We need
some revenue. We are trying to get
a meeting of minds on that, so that
when we get a bill out it will al
least raise the money"
The bill, as revised drastically by
the committee, would produce an esti-
mated $3.50, 600, 900 of additional per-
manent Government income, wherea:
the President asked for $500 100000
I'VE have come to no definite con-
clusion about any part of the propo'
sition.' Harrison said.
He added that he believed it woulc
be impossible to report the bill out
this afternoon, but that he hoped te
do so tomorrow.
Still to be decided were proposal:
for an excise tax on sugar and Other
levies on imported vegetable oil ane
StarcheS.
The chairman said that the Treas.
ury estimated today that the wind
fall" tax on professors who avoided
payment of A. A. A. processing take:
would, as revised by the committee
raise only $4,000, 900 instead of $l00,

SECURITY BOARD
PAYSD. c. a2,239
Money Will Cover Costs OF
Administration for Job
Insurance.

A check for $12,239.25 has been
issued to the District by the Social
Security Board, it was announced
today, the sum to cover costs Of ad-
rninistration for the local unemploy-
ment compensation system from last
February IL to March 81.
At the same time, the board an
nounced it had issued checks for
California in the amount OF $685.
e43.74, and to Wisconsin for Sl7,-
1891. The three allotments, totaling
S6e,952.90, are all for the period noted
above.
$4,000 Employees Covered Here.
In issuing the checks, the board
made the estimate that $4,000 en-
ployes are covered in the District,
1,075,00O in California and 100000
in Wisconsin.
Coincidentally. the three systems
benefltmg at this time represent ex-
tremes in various theories of how un-
employment compensation laws should
be drawn.
Most fundamental Of the differences
Is the fact Wisconsin has the en-
ployer reserve type of law, whereas
both the others are pooled funds. The
former type is advantageous to COM
panies of stable employment record.
since their tax payments may end
when a certain reserve is established.
Coverage, however, is not so complete
for those who suffer most, namely
the unemployed.
Most important difference in the
benefit terms is the fact that the Dis
trict law is the only one yet estab-
lished that carries provision for in
creased benefit in case of dependents
Others set fiat benefit rate regard
less of number of dependents of un-
employed person.
Spread Of d. c. System Seen.
The District law also is the only
one which takes in all employers in
the eligible groups, while the Wiscon-
sin law embraces only employers of
four or more and the California law
those of eight or more. Some authori-
ties on the subject of unemployment
compensation believe the District pat
tern will become universal eventually,
since the other principal one causes
gaps in employment record when a
person shifts from big to a small
concern.
Also the District law requires con-
tribution from the State" while those
Of Wisconsin and California do not.
The California law calls for contribu-
tions from employees, the others do not.

Davis was replaced by NICK Pap

jan spurts but never could get the
old war horse rolling. Don Keller
sophomore quarter, later replaced
Pappas. but had little luck.
After the first quarter, Washing
ton State appeared to gather
strength and fought the Trojans
blow for blow.
Late in the game, the TrolanS
took desperate chances in an effort
to score and preserve their victory
record. Unlike most teams coached
by Howard Jones, the 1886 model
threw shoestring passes from their
own goal as the final gun neared.
The gamble almost cost the game
for use. With three minutes to
play. Keller threw several flanker
passes at Bill Gaisford, veteran
right end. Dwight Scheyer huge
Cougar tackle, had one OF the
passes in his hands but dropped
the ball as he started toward the

statistics were in favor of the
Trojans.
The game was fought bitterly
from opening to final gun and it was
a drab day for two outstanding
candidates for the mythical ALI
American quarterback post.
Davy Davis, 158-pound leader OF
the U. S. c. offensive, was carried
from the field after 10 minutes of
play, suffering from a fractured
rib. Ed Goddard, Washington State
quarterback and arch rival of Davis
on the coast, lasted until early in
the fourth quarter when he twisted
his right knee as three Trojans hit
him as he caught punt in mid
field.
The game opened with a flashy
demonstration by use, after the
Trojans received the kickoff. Davis
gathered the ball on the first play
and streaked 33 yards through the
bewildered Cougars of State.
The Davis thrust was the only
threat of the first quarter and his
only major contribution of the day.

as he returned a lofty punS sent
