National Revenue
Legislation Delayed
WAYS and Means Committee to
Take Up Nations Varied
Tax Possibilities

Congressional tax experts report
that revenue legislation probably
will be delayed until June.
Speaking privately, they gave two
main reasons for holding off meas
ure to continue the so-called nuis-
ance taxes:
/. They believe that by waiting
until shortly before these levies ex-
pire in June and July, they can put
through extension legislation in a
hurry without danger of long con-
troversy over amendments touching
other parts of the tax structure.
2. They want to scan March Is in
come tax returns to determine
whether they produce enough money
so that some of the nuisance taxes,
like those on admission, furs and
sporting goods, might be dropped or
lowered.
May Alter Taxes
Ways and means committee mem
bers have been considering the pos
sibility of altering the tax on undis-
tributed corporate earnings to give
more favorable treatment to corpo-
rations with deficits and debts and
to those desiring to retain some of
their earnings for plant improve
mentS.
Doughton said the committee
would take up the question of
amending the social security act
separately, although changing it's
tax rates is among the alterations
which have been proposed.
There has been discussion at the
capitol, too, of the possibility of
broadening social security benefits
and starting old-age pensions in
1899 instead of 1941.

In Time to See Spring Flowing,
Look at Chicken and Cattle

President Roosevelt dropped the
heavy cares of office Friday and
turned chauffeur and farmer.
Less than an hour after his arrival
in Warm Springs, Ca, from Wash
ington he changed his gray business
suit for a "roughing" outfit and got
reacquainted with his little white
cottage among the evergreens on
Pine mountain.
After a cold lunch, he drove his
own little specially built hand con-
troll automobile over the dirt roads
several miles to his 1890 acre farm
where he found preparations under
way for spring cotton planting.
A bright sun beat down and the
thermometer was over 70.
He put off until Saturday a swim
IN the Warm Springs foundation
outdoor pool.
Otis Moore manager of Mr.. Roose-
velt's farm, was glad to see ''the
boss" The President had never seen
the farm at just this time of year
when blowing was under way.
Mr. Roosevelt also looked over his
herd of 70 prize white-faced Here
fords and a flock of chickens that
Moore had added since the Chief
Executive was here last spring.
Arriving in Warm Springs for a
two weeks vacation after a 721-mile
journey from Washington, the Pres
ident found a small contingent of
CCC boys and foundation and
townspeople waiting at the village
depot.
They applauded and waved greet
ings as the President alighted to 60
to his cottage. Several score infan-
tile paralysis vicytims at the foun-
dation cheered from wheel chairs as
he passed. the administration build

Dionne Quintuplets
Won't Have Worry
Have Income of $21,OO a Year;
Latest Reports Indicate They
Are Worth Over 100000

The business of raising quintuplets
is not such a bad business. The five
little Dionne girls that weighed col
lectively ten pounds and one and a
quarter ounces at the time of their
premature birth, May %, 1885, a
year later weighed collectively eigh-
ty-five pounds. News Week states
that in three months the "quints," as
it calls them, made $150,0O0.
The quintuplets, Emile, Annette,
Cecile, Yvonne and Marie, have in
their name trust fund of $175,000
received from films and advertising,
photographs, etc., and which they
are to share when they come of age.
The children are wards of the king
until they are 18; they live in a hos
pital with their nurses, two conSta-
bles, a housekeper and an orderly,
and are under the care of their ply
sician, retired judge, and their
father, ten persons all together. The
hospital, specially built has eight
rooms.
Breakfast is of milk and tomato
juice; an hour later, orange juice and
cod liver oil; another hour later,
COuSA4SO C6SS AAAAN oAAN NAoSSAA'N''
Lunch consists of strained vegeta-
bles, baked apple, prunes, bananas
or apple sauce; supper is Of cereal
and milk. They are out of doors
from 900 to 1890; also for time in
the afternoon. Most of the supplies
come free.
At one year old they looked exact
1y alike; all mouths then had two
teeth, except one, which had but one.
The family had a new car. Neigh
bors were opening hot.-dog stands.
The road to the house had been
paved.
At seventeen months of age the
quintuplets received $4,000 for
standing, sitting and talking in front
of moving picture cameras for $50
minutes; and were then worth over
$25O,OOO.
At their second birthday the quin-
tuplets were calculated to be worth
$450,000. Expenses are about $1,000
a month for nurses (?). The income
is from motion picture contracts
and endorsements of food given in
their behalf.
At last reports, the quintuplets
were worth $5OO,OO0 in cash and
government securities, and their an
nual income is not less than $21 900.
The quints are the first ever to have
lived more than a few hours.
