CIVIL SERVICE
IS TOPIC

Representative Robert Rams
peck, chairman of the House
Civil Service Committee. will op-
pose the Administrators sug-
gestion that Government Off
cials be permitted to decide
whether emergency workers shall
be allowed to take tests for per
manent positions.
Speaking last night before
members Of the National Fedora
ton of Federal Employees at the
tWenty-first birthday celebration
of Local Union No, 2, Ramspeck
declared that testimony given
during hearings in Congress re-
Gently had convinced him such
a procedure would be unfair.
The suggestion. he said, was in
cluded in the Brownlow commit
tees report to the President,
which would provide non-competi,
tive tests for placing emergency
employees under civil service. but
also would provide that the dl-
rector of each Federal agency
certify" the fitness of workers
before the latter were allowed to
take tests.
Ramspeck said employees who
could not be certified for such
tests should have been dis
charged a long time ago." Touch
ing on the legislation situation
he said:
"Just now. legislation for
Federal employees has been held
UP while Congress wrestles
with the Supreme Court issue.
/ have never, in seven years in
Congress, seen Capitol Hill
quite as upset as it has been

HAWAII PUSHES
FIGHT AGAINST
SUGAR BILL

Six amendments to the Admin
istration's proposed new sugar con-
troll law were demanded yester-
day by Hawaiian Spokesmen testi-
fving before a House Agriculture
Committee.
witnesses challenged the bill
in the form sponsored by Sena-
tors OrMahoney (D0 of Wyoming,
and Adams CD, of Colorado, as
discrimination against Hawaii,
declaring the island territory is
entitled to the same treatment as
the 48 States"
Tax Burdens Cited
Arguing for equal treatment" ;"
Ernest Greene, manager Of the
Oahu Sugar Company. and Sam
uel Wilder King, HaWail's Dele
gate to Congress, declared island
inhabitants paid Federal taxes
and shared all other burdens Of
the several States.
Greene said:
Hawaii is an incorporated
territory and in simple justice
is entitled to treatment in all
Federal legislation on the same
basis as the several States.
The people of Hawaii have
every obligation and pay all
Federal taxes and revenues
which are paid by the people
of any State.
1--WE object to provisions OF
this bill which discriminate
against the Territory of Hawaii
by inequality of treatment as
compared with that accorded the
sugar beet producing States and
the sugar cane producing States.
DETERMINATIONS" ALLEGED
The determinations to which
we object are, briefly, as follows:
"One-A fixed minimum quota
of 1,55O,OOO tons is accorded to
the beet sugar producing States,
and 100000 tons to the cane
sugar producing States. We OBJ"
ject to this because Hawaii has
no fixed minimum quota.
"TWO-There is no restriction
upon the form in which the
sugar in any State may be
shipped. We object to this be-
cause Hawaii is forbidden to
ship more than 29,660 tons of
refined sugar and must ship 81
per cent in the form of raw
sugar.
"Three-In the event that a
continental producing area can
not market its full quota in any
year, the deficit is to be allotted
to the other continental area,
and a part thereof is only al
lotted to areas other than con-
tinental in the event that such
other continental area cannot
supply the full amount of such
deficit. We object to this be-
cause Hawaii does not have
equal rights with the several
States to the total United States
quota"
WOULD RIGHT "INIQUTTY"
Delegate King told the commit
tee:
None of the = determinations
need hn part of the program in
accordance With the p ,sident'S
message to Congress on March l,
1887. They can be eliminated
without any reduction in the
basic quotas of other areas as
now provided in the bill. The in
equity can be righted without
affecting any essential element
of the prOgram.'

Nervous
Indigestion
Causes Much Stomach Distress

Nervous indigestion Is a condition
which retards or delays digestion, re-
'sulting in the formation of an excess
sive quantity of gas. This gas often
forces the stomach upward against the
heart, causing lightning jabs of pain in
the chest, palpitation or difficult
breathing. In many cases gnawing
pains are felt in the stomach, when
empty, but are relieved by eating.
Ordinary stomach medicines give
little or no help because they do not
reach the source of this trouble. If
YOU want genuine, lasting relief, take
Baalmann's Gas Tablets which are
compounded especially for nervous in
digestion and all discomfort due to
excess gas in stomach and bowels.
The very first dose should convince you
of their merit. Guaranteed harmless.
Ask for Baalmann's Gas Tablets ct any
good drug store.

UNEMPLOYMENT TAXES
DUE; FINE PERMISSIBLE
Employers Of Eight or More Al
ready Given Extension Of
Time to Pay.

Internal Revenue Collector M.
Hampton Magruder last night warned
employers Of eight or more persons
that II they failed to pay their unem-
ployment compensation tax before
last April they face penalties rang
ing from 5 to Is per cent of the levies
their pay rolls call for.
Employers were granted an extern
sion of time for filing of returns and
payment of the tax until April /, but
the penalty now Is due for delinquents.
Collector Magruder said that recog-
milton Of the following facts by all
employers would remove a great deal
Of the confusion that apparently exists
as to the provisions Of title 8 OF the
social security act:
Il. The employers excise tax, pro-
vided for under title Of the social
security act Is separate and apart from
the employers excise tax and the en-
ploye's income tax provided for under
title 8 Of the same act. Participation
in one does not exempt an employer
from participation in the other.
q. Omcers Of corporations are con-
sidered employees for taxable purposes.
g. No Federal credit Is allowed an
employer for a State contribution
unless the said State contribution Is
paid prior to the due date Of the Fed
eral return.
=. Employers alone pay the tax
levied under title g."
