opinion this cannot be done within

be the length Of the present extraor-

If We can enact the legislation rec
commended to us by the President,
while at the same time through the
appropriate committees making the
necessary investigation and obtaining
the necessary information upon the
complicated subject of Federal taxa
ton, so as to be ready to consider tax
legislation early in the January ses-
sion. so we will have made q long
stride toward the accomplishment of
the ends which every sincere lover Of
his country is anxious to accomplish.

our streams and make them service
able to the people Of the Nation. The
President has recommended the Gre
alton Of seven regions covering the
whole country and encompassing the
most important Of our navigable
streams and watersheds in order that
= long-term program may be worked
out by which the forces Of nature may
be harnessed and preserved. not only
for the service and enjoyment Of the
present generation, but in order that
We may hand this heritage Of ours
down to future generations not i'm
poverished but enriched so that in
creasing populations may find it pos
sible to live upon it in happiness and
comfort. These proposals have not
yet been acted upon by the commit
tees Of the House and Senate in charge
Of this legislation. But I have every
reason to believe and expect that i'm
mediate consideration will be given to
this subject by the committees Of both
houses, and that Congress will prompt
ly enact legislation creating the neces-
sary machinery for surveying condi-
tions within each region and recon-
mending to the President and to Con-
gress what ought to be done to ac-
complish the great purposes which are
outlined in the Presidents message
upon this subject.
Subject Of Taxation.
Another subject which will receive
consideration, but which In my judg-
ment cannot be finally acted upon by
this extra session OF Congress, is that
Of taxation.
Our Federal tax laws are intricate.
They are the result Of periodic and
sometimes sporadic amendments en-
acted from time to time to meet gen.
eral conditions with respect to public
revenue brought about as result of
the depression through which We have
gone. Congress cannot revamp the
tax laws in the period of week or a
month. Hasty tax legislation might
create more difficulties than it cures.
The President discussed this subject
in his message today, and call atten-
ton to the fact that for several weeks
the Committee on Ways and Means
Of the House Of Representatives has
been giving earnest consideration to
this question and has held hearings
upon 1t seeking both expert and lay
advice with reference to it. Under the
Constitution the House OF Represent
atives must originate all taxation laws
enacted by Congress. Until the House
has reported and passed bill and
has sent 1t to the Senate, the Senate
has no constitutional power to initiate
revenue legislation, and 1t cannot be
expected that the House Ways and
Means Committee or the House itself
would report or pass bill that had
not received the most careful study
and consideration involving every
phase Of the subject.
think can give reasonable assur-
ance that at an early date the ques-
tion OF remedial tax legislation de-
signed to eliminate injustices and to
encourage additional investment in
industrial enterprises and to AFFORD
necessary relief to small and average
sized corporations actually engaged in
industrial production and In the en-
ployment Of wage-earners will be en-
acted by Congress. But I would not

ment to attempt to throw haphazard
legislation into this extra session, when
every man who is familiar with the
processes Of legislation knows that 4
hasty tax bill passed simply In order
to say that tax bill had been passed
would in all probability do more harm
than good.
Session Of Five Weeks Seen.
Many other subjects may come up
for discussion during the present ses-
sion, but think 1t we'll to admonish
the country that his extraordinary ses-
sion will have to conclude its work
before the beginning of the new year.
That means that about five weeks will
constitute the length Of the session.
We hope to accomplish the enactment
of the President's recommended pro-
gram 80 that we may return in Janu-
ary with our slate practically clean

Of all the difficulties. But that 1t is .
step in the right direction, am thor
oughly convinced, and sincerely trust
that 1t may be, in Its essential pro-
visions, enacted before the end Of this

While 1t was not one Of the subjects
specifically mentioned in the Presi-
dents call for an extra session. prob
ably because the House had already

made it a special order for the next
session, the anti-lynching bill will be-
yond any question of doubt be con-
sidered and in all probability enacted
before the end of the present session
that has just begun.
Problem for Generations.
The subject Of lynching has, for
generations. been one OF the questions
to which our Nation has given most
thoughtful attention, and various ef-
forts have been made to curb this ma
tional blot upon our escutcheon While
men may differ as to the formula Of
any remedy proposed, no one can deny
the effects OF this unfortunate disre-
gard for the orderly processes Of gov
ernment in the prosecution OF crime.
At the last session of Congress the
House overwhelmingly adopted meas
ure designed to curb the unlawful
lynching of persons charged with or
suspected Of crime, and by special
order entered in the Senate at the last
session, this measure automatically
follows farm legislation and will un-
doubtedly be passed in the Senate
when voted upon by large majority.
assume the responsibility of saying
that there will be not>only no effort
to escape the obligation which the
Senate voluntarily took upon itself to
consider this measure, but I think !
am justified in assuring all those in
terested in 1t that every effort will
be made to keep this obligation on
the part OF the Senate before the con-
clusion of this extra session Of the
Congress.
The subject of regional planning
for the conservation Of our natural
resources is one which for long time
has given serious concern to far
sighted men and women.
We have great natural resources in
soil and timber and in the streams
which drain our country. And we
have been compelled to look with dis
may upon the wasteful destruction OF
the fertility of our soil, and the dis
sipation of our forests as well as the
lack Of any co-ordinated system by
which to utilize the flowing water OF

RELIEF SURVEYED

Housing, Health and Aid Co.
Operation Discussed
at Meeting.

A survey OF three relief needs in the
Oistrict-better housing, improved
public heal facilities and closer CO.
ordination of the work of private relief
agencies-was presented to the Mon
day Evening Club at its meeting last
night at the Y. w. c. A., Seventeenth
and K streets NV.
"There still are swamps in WASH
ington when it comes to housing"
Mrs. Helen Duey Hoffman, executive
director of the Washington Housing
Association, told the club. "The
shortage of decent places to live for
those with low incomes-as we'll as
moderate incomes-is one of our more
serious problems
Citing instances in which as many
as "a people live in a six-room house,
Mrs. Hoffman declared that "a lot
OF people are racketeering in the
rooming house business here, renting
houses for as low as $40 a month and
getting from SOS to $50 a month out
OF them by renting single rooms to
entire families"
Sanitation Lacking.
There is such shortage of proper
low-cost housing, she added, that her
association finds it impossible for
family to rent home with decent
sanitary conditions for as much as
S25 per month. She emphasized the
lack of proper sanitation in slum dis
tricts.
Health problems were discussed by
DR., Ella Oppenhenner, director Of the
Bureau of Maternal and Child We'll
fare Of the District Health Depart
ment. She said infant mortality rates
and the incidence of tuberculosis and
venereal disease were "shockingly
high" in some sections of Washington
particularly in the central northwest
area
Expansion of public health and
social welfare facilities are necessary
to prevent the health situation from
growing even worse in the future, DR..
Oppenheimer emphasized.
Church Efforts Cited.
The Rev. John L. Nixon, director
OF the Department of Social Welfare,
Washington Federation of Churches,
told of efforts to coordinate the well
fare work of the churches more CLOSELY
with that Of Government and Com
munity Chest agencies. He said
churches act as first aid stations"
In many relief cases. Declaring that
emergency types of relief programs
dangerously tend to entrench them
selves as permanent, he said more
stress should be laid on developing
preventive welfare measures.
