A withholding levy on taxable sala-
ries up to $4,000 will be proposed to
House Tax Subcommittee by Chair
man Vinson of Kentucky as a means
OF simplifying the revenue system.
The plan would eliminate the re-
quirement that small taxpayers file
hcome-tax returns. Instead, their
employers would hold back part Of
their earnings, as Is done now with
social security assessments, and nav
the money to the Government as
taxes.
Employees would file affidavits stat
ing the number Of their dependents
and grounds for exemption so deduc-
tions could De made
Vinson said he had not worked out
details OF the proposal and had not
taken it up formally with the Treas
ury.
One Treasury official has advised
him informally, he said, that the
system would have considerable merit
and has operated successfully in Eng
land. A Withholding tax would be
almost imperative, this oficial said
should the United States ever find
1t necessary to lower the tax base
or reduce exemptions.
The obtaining of additional revenue
will not be the primary objective of
the Tax Subcommittee, Vinson as
serted. Rather, the aim will be to
overhaul the entire tax structure.
wiping inequities from the law and
removing some Of the excess language
that makes them so intricate.
Recommendation then will be pre-
sented to the entire Ways and Means
Committee, which originates all tax
legislation.
Among the subjects which will re-
ceive the subcommittee attention,
Vinson said, are:
Revision Of the corporate undis-
trbuted income tax to ease the impact
on firms needing to retain earnings
for debt retirement or plant improve
ment; altering the capital gains tax:
plugging additional tax law loopholes.
such as those involving community
property laws, depletion allowances for
oil and mining companies, pension and

Attorney General Cummings said
today it would have been an "an act
of impertinence" for his department
to have investigated the private life"
Of Hugo L. Black prior to his appoint
ment to the Supreme Court.
He made it clear that, in his opin-
ion, the Justice Department is in no
wise responsible for the failure to
ascertain In advance of Blacks ap-
pointment that the latter had any
connection with the Ku Klux Klan.
Cummings declined to discuss q
newspaper story charging that one
of his special assistants, William E.
Fort, was member with Black of
Robert E. Lee Klan, No. /, Birming-
ham, Ala. Black and Fort formerly
were law partners.
The Attorney Generals statement
was in similar vein to a story pub
lished several days ago to the effect
that President Roosevelt felt the obli-
CATION to investigate Blacks past rec
ord rested with the Senate and not
with him.
ut has been stated frequently that
the Department of Justice made no in
vestigation of Mr.. Justice Black prior
to the sending of his name to the
Senate" Cummings said. THAT is
correct.
Not Department Practice.
1T Is not the practice of this de-
partment TO make any investigation
OF the private lives OF prospective ap-
pointees to the Supreme Court. Nor
do We make any other investigation of
those receiving serious consideration.
For instance, no investigation was
made by this department of Chief
Justice Hughes, none Of Mr.. Justice
Cardozo and none Of Mr.. Justice Rob-
erts. While have not examined the
records, should be very much sur
prtsed If Mr.. Justice Stone, attorney
general at the time of his appoint
ment, made any investigation of him.
self.
In the case Of Mr.. Justice Black,
no investigation was called for. The
reason is obvious. This is especially
true where the nominee is member
OF the Senate and well known to his
colleagues.
Where man has been eminent in
public life and associated for years
with the members of the Senate, it
would be an act Of impertinence to in
vestigate his private life"
Covered in Statement.
The Attorney General was asked
whether, in the case of Senator un-
der consideration for the Supreme
Court, any agency of the Government
should investigate his past record to
ascertain any facts that might dis
qualify him for the judicial Office. He
said he thought the answer to the
question had been covered in his gen.
eral statement.
The Attorney General then was
questioned concerning statement
he was understood to have made at
q previous press conference to the
effect that some rs possible nominees
to the Supreme Court post vacated by
the. retirement of Justice Van De-
vanter we're being investigated. He
replied by saying that in cases where
the records of candidates for such an
Office are not well known he believed
an investigation would be appropriate.
He refused to answer question as
to whether, at the time of his earlier
statement, he knew Black was being
considered for the post.

New School Houses Hardin, Crow,
Lodge Grass-500 Men on
Sugar Factory.

This week appears to have been
a red letter week for Big Horn
county. On Tuesday the United
States senate amended the general
appropriation bill by inserting in
it an item of 100000 for the
starting of work on the Little
Horn-Lodge Grass conservation
dam. This item passed the COM
mittee on appropriations last week
and Tuesday passed the senate,
and now goes to a conference
committee of the house and SEN
ate and it is expected that that
committee will approve the item
and that their action will be ap-
proved by both houses.
Last March Attorney H. w. Bum
ston and County Attorney c. C.
Quinn were sent to Washington,
D. c., as the representatives of
the farmers of the Little Horn and
Lodge Grass valleys. They worked
in the national capital along with
the Crow Indian delegates, Frank
Yarlott, Harry Whiteman and Tom
Yellowtail. Supt. Robert Yellow
tail was in Washington at the
time as the governments repre-
sentative and did most effective
work in behalf of the dam. It is
hoped that congress will finally
approve this project, which will
mean 20 much toward stabilizing
agriculture in the Little Horn and
Lodge Grass valleys. These rep
resentatives speak most compli-
mentary of the work of the con-
gressmen from Montana and Wy
oming.
This week, also, bids were OPEN
ed for the construction of school
buildings at Lodge Grass, Grow
Agency and Hardin. The school
building at Lodge Grass in school
district No. 81 IS to cost approx
mately $85, 900, while the two
school buildings at Crow Agency
and Hardin in school district No.
17H will represent an outlay of
$158.oOO. The money for these
buildings was appropriated by con-
gress in an effort to aid these
school districts to provide school
buildings sufficient to accommo-
date all school children, both
white and Indian.
For some time the Indian child
rem have been attending the pub
lie schools provided for the child
rem of these districts. On &C
count of the greatly increased
school population the housing ia
cilities have become INADEQUATE
and congress appropriated the
sums above mentioned and made
them available to districts Nos.
