BITING THE POOR

A tax expert recently observed that
the new tax bill "barks at the rich-and
bites the poor"
In other words, exhaustive analysis of
the measure by competent accountants and
statisticians shows that, under its provi-
sions, some very large corporations may
actually pay smaller taxes than they paid
previously while some smaller corpora
tions will pay greater taxes-taxes rang
ing up to 80 per cent of their income.
The bill is so complex and so con-
fused in various sections, that no one
really knows just what its ultimate effects
will be. That is certainly not surprising
it was forced through with little debate,
to facilitate the adjournment of Congress.
So it may turn out that tax bill that
was backed vociferously by friends of
the common people" picks the common
peoples pocketbook ruthlessly. If that
happens, some good will follow for the
public will awaken to the menace of punt
tive tax laws.

WHAT TO DO FOR
ECZEMA ITCHING
AND BURNING

Wash the affected parts with
Resinol Soap and warm water to
soften scales and crusts. Resinol
Soap is suggested because it con-
tains no excess of free alkali, and
is especially suited to tender skin.
Dry by patting with q soft cloth
do not rub.
Doctors recommend an oily ONT
ment because it penetrates the out
er layers of the skin more effec-
lively. Resinol Ointment meets this
requirement, and does even more.
For over 10 years it has been-and
still is-successfully used to relieve
quickly the itching and burning Of
eczema. It contains soothing in
gradients that aid healing.
Use Resinol Ointment today and
enjoy comfort tomorrow. Get a jar,
also cake of Resinol Soap, at any
drug store. For free sample, write

Those who iavof this bill profess
to believe that the system OF control
which ii would set up is IN accord
with the Constitution. It is based on
the fallacious idea that the Federal
government has the power to pro-
mote the general welfare. through

with Senator O'MAhoneyisf faith in

fallows the election returns would
Sponsor such a bill as this. In view
of the Unanimous decision of the SUI
pfeme Court in tie Schechter Case,
and in view of the two child labor de-
cisions of 1918 and 1922, it is diff
cult to see how Federal incorporation
and licensing could be upheld under
the present Constitution.
Only a person who is absolutely
convinced of the necessity of Fed
eral GENERALIZATION. and who is con-
verted to the idea of economic PLAN

what chance the bill has Of becom-

the administration, which has been
studying the proposal since election,
take strong stand in its favor. it
would be likely to pass. But passage
by Congress would not make it con-
stitutional. and certainly would not
get it past the Supreme Court After
all. our Federal government is one Of
delegated powers, and not Of general
