THE NEW EAL
IN WASHINGTON
RODNEY DuTcHER-
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON - Certain ad-
w ministration members who
may not know any better or
who may just be seeking to allay
fear, are spreading the word that
the current New Deal legislative
program is all there is and that
there isn't any more.
II anyone tells you that, ask
EN- how much they want to bet.
Roosevelt will make at least two
more requests for major legisla-
ton at the next session Of Con-
gress and no one knows how
many more after the 1888 cleo
tons. The two are:
l-Legislation TO curb mo-
nopoly and unfair trade prac-
tices.
2-Revision of the tax
system.
The nature OF these pieces of
legislation can be predicted now
only in vague outline, but they're
being worked on. An effort will
be made to dovetail them closely,
for the adninistration-Since the
Supreme Court Social Security de-
cisions-is sure il can use taxes as
an instrument of social control
over Big Business.
Effort will be made to revamp
the powers of the Federal Trade
Commission as well as the anti
trust laws. A legislative attack on
the so-called tramp corpora
tions," principally of Delaware, is
in the cards.
Treasury experts have been
working on a broad tax program
(far broader than current loop
hole plugging propoSals) for
weeks.
Attorney General Cummings be-
fore long will appoint committee
to 20 into the whole field Of mo-
nopoly and trade practices. 1t will
be important to big business men
to study the makeup of this COM
mittee ~ ....-' T.

ManifeStly the people nave
neither the time nor the training
to work out intricate public prob
lens. And it is equally apparent
that unlimited power given a
leader will eventually result in
the abuse of such power, since
few persons--if any-can be

Therefore, sensible combina-
ton of a limited leadership and a
limited democracy is the most
satisfactory for moi government

pie choose their leaders and rep

porationS at $3.50 apiece. This prac.
tice seems an obvious evasion Of
the law prohibiting political con-
tributionS by corporations, which
carries penalties of fine and i'm

About the best excuse you can
actually find for these book sales
is the fact that the Democrats have
huge majorities in Congress, which
protects the Democratic committee
from investigation, and that the
committee has deficit to pay of.
In the first place the committee
received about S385,000 from adj

all from corporations. 1t received
about S480,000 from sales of the

subsequently was hired for $780,

some 1900 autographed copies at
$3.50 apiece, in a deal through
which the selling agency would
receive 500 for each copy sold.

It requires more than school chlIds mind
to grasp the significance of this set-up
Nor, for that matter, to reason straight through
to logical and unavoidable conclusions.
If an individual were spending dollar for every
67.2 cents which that individual earned, how long
think we, it would be before such an one was in
the bankruptcy courts?
There is no magic Of immunity surrounding a
great and majestic government that relieves ii
from the same penalties of an unbalanced budget
A government that spends more than it takes
out of the pockets of its people, which is its only
source of revenue, and keeps on keeping up that
policy, is bound to be headed eventually for the
same unhappy Observation-Disclosures Observer.

NO wHIsKEY ADVERTISING

The State would be carrying plenty of liquor ad-
vertising before long. ,. .....ai.y .'.n .
We happen to know that could obtain con-
siderable amount of this type of advertising. Prob
ably as much as ten thousand dollars annually.
But for the benefit of those who are interested in
this matter, we wish to say that The State does
not expect to carry any liquor advertising what
soever.
We are in favor of control-yes-but we are
not in favor of permitting our publication to be
used as a medium for helping increase the con-
sumption of whiskey in North Carolina. ,s
Then, too, the magazine goes to almost 80 per
cent of the public schools in North Carolina. In
view of this fact, we feel that liquor advertising
would be decidedly out of place. 80.
Well admit frankly that We wouldn't object to
the additional revenue which liquor advertising
would bring in, but we have found out that there
are other things which are worth whole lot more
than money. And so have you.-State Magazine.

VOTERS PAY AND PAY UNDER
MACHINE RULE
(By BRUCE CATToN)


From out Chicago way come rumblings
indicating that that high-spirited city is,
once more, about to demonstrate the price
that can be paid for government of, by and
for the politicians.
Chicago's new tax rate, announced re-
Gently, touched an all-time high with a
figure of 1852 for each 800 of assessed
valuation. But high tax rate, in itself, is
nothing particularly new for any American
city. What makes the Chicago case inter-
esting is its background.
Eight or nine years ago Chicago landed
itself in the headlines with taxpayers
strike. Taxes went uncollected, city serv-
ices languished, city employees went on
skinny rations-and, all the while, the
city was blithely going ahead on borrowed
money, supporting one of the most malo-
dorous political rings in America.
That got itself settled, finally. The poll
ticians were chased out, the city began to
pay its way once more, and it looked as If
everything was to be lovely. But one of
the unnoticed little axioms of American
politics is that if you resign the worries of
government to politicians you are going to
pay for the privilege; and before long this
old saw began to prove its truth anew.
The old gang was chased out, but new
gang came gaily in. The Kelly-Nash ma
chine took Chicago over as its private fef,
and the tax rate began to soar. In 1888 it
stood at S6.49. II has gone up every year
since then. In addition, new gas, vehicle
and liquor taxes have been created in re-
cent years, each collecting its mite from
the taxpayer in addition to his real prop
erty levies.
With all of this money being collected,
you would suppose that Chicago was at
least getting some excellent government
for its money, and that all of the city EN-
ployes were being paid regularly. But il
isn't quite working out that way. Most OF
the city employees have been getting along
under 1012 per cent pay cut for two
years.
Fast as the city's income mounts, 1t does
not seem to mount fast enough to enable
the city to pay its workers their full wages
anu 5dldrleS.
As result, loud murmurs of discomfort
are being heard. The head of an electri
clans union talks ominously about turning
all the street lights off and leaving the
river bridges open. School teachers talk o.
forming united front" And on top Of
everything else, a taxpayers strike is free
ly predicted.
A picture like this is eminently worth
the study of the inhabitants of other cities
For it is perfectly obvious that what is hap
peniRg in Chicago is nothing more than The
inevitable result of giving a political ma
chine It's head. If you permit machine Il
fasten itself upon you, you are going to pay
for It. The plight of the Chicago Taxpayer
is an object lesson for all taxpayers.

today.
While the measure would set up

minimum wages, maximum hours
and other regulations for the in
dustry, Ellenbogen said no definite
limits as to the minimum pay and
maximum work have been set by
the House Labor Committee.
He said the committee seems
to favor a 4O-cents-an-hour mini
mum wage and a 40-hour week"
AS stated exclusively by Inter
national News Service yesterday,
the committee will consider the
measure early in January since
the House defeated the Black. Con-
merry wage-hour measure.
"The bill also provides for the
fixing of a minimum for the
various clasSifications of skilled
work. These labor standards
are to be administered by the
National Textile Commission
established by the bill. The
commission Is also charged with
the enforcement Of the fair
trade practices specified in the
