taxes by its use. For the year
1884, he saved $131, 045, and for
1885, $181,78S, for 1886, $33569O.
During these years, the com.
bined net income of Mr.. LuptOn,
individually, and the undistrib-
uted net income of his personal
holding company after deduc-
tiOnS, credits and exemptions al
lowed in the revenue acts,

visions of the bill to prevent di
version of the gasoline fund to the
general fund and opposing an in
crease in the gas tax.
After submitting his statement,
Senator Tydings announced that
while he is mot committed" to
the sales tax, he is trying to de-
velop the wisdom of it.
A little later in the hearing
Senator Pat McCarran CD of
Nevada suggested as an alterna-
tive an increase in the realty tax
of l per cent.
Declaring he had been advised
by the District tax assessor that
this increase would net 81, 300 900,
he said:
ut seems to me that in this
way we could pick up a tax that
would eliminate all this con-
troversy and not place any
burden on the great mass Of
people,"
He suggested that this tax be
solely on land, eliminating i'm
provements.
Gas Tax Opposed
Any type of tax on gasoline and
oil and operators of service sta
tons was opposed by Mrs. M. c.
Mallon, secretary of the District
Petroleum Association.
Describing the gross receipts tax
as the most punitive tax on bust
ness ever devised" she aksd that
in the event this levy on business
is adopted by the committee serv-
ice stations be exempted in the in
tereSt of Justice and equity"
She pointed out that service sta
tons pay variety of taxes and
suggested that it would be unjust
to levy any additional burden.
The business privilege tax was
opposed in its entirity, and a per
cent sales tax was endorsed by j.
Nelson Anderson, general counsel
for the Federation of Business
Mems Associations. In approving
the sales tax he asked that food,
clothing and medicine be ex-
empted, but that business operat-
ing in Federal owned buildings
should be included in the pro-
visions of the tax.
At this point Senator McCarran
asked that if the gross receipts tax
is approved organizations doing
business exclusively for their
members and making no profit
should be exempted.
At noon today the hearings were
recessed until 10 a. m. tomorrow,
when the chairman said he hoped
to clean up all the testimony in
order to get the bill reported as
soon as possible.
At the conclusion of today'S
hearing, Senator Robert r. Reyn-
olds CD of North Carolina stated
he was gathering data upon which
to base an increase on liquor IL
cenSes.
He said he proposed to increase
the wholesale license from $500
to $2.500; the retail license from
$3.50 to $500, the tavern keepers
license from $500 to $1,000, and
the hotel license according to the
number of rooms from $500 to
$1,000 and up as high as $4,000.
He estimated that this increase
would result in an additional $780,.
900 or $500, 1000.

 And all Saturday night and yes- terday scouts were trying Co con- vince parents that an alligator is . safe pet. Tn almost every case they were unsuccessful, even when they said that the gator grew only an inch or two a year. So it looks as If the popu1ation ct Hamilton park ZOO will increased by 60-odd little (hut not so little when you come on one of them unexpect- edly) alligators.
 Believe It-0r Not!
 But there was the one result of the sudden and unexpected swoop of alligators on the city that may be chased on the credit side. Yesterday morning one scouts father, who had come in late the night before after an evening of elbow-bending with the boys" came out of the bedroom wide- eyed. He said to his wife: I'm off the liquor for good. Nothing for me from now on, not even beer. It never affected me that way be- fore, but when I came in the house last night and went in the bathroom to wash, I saw an alli- gator in the basin. That's enough If it's hitting me that way, I'm off the stuff for good"

 ganization. No worke:-especially in mass production industry-would de. liberateiy choose to have no coliec- tive voice to speak for him if he could secure 1t without to much cost either in dues or in discipline by the boss. Dues are not much Of c factor in 0. I. O. unions but they are 6 real drawback in some of the crafts where the initiation fec and the monthly assessments are some- times SO high as to give some ground for suspicion that they are there tr keep men out of the union rather than to get them in. Employe re- siStance Is so intangible thing that 1t can't Dc easily described. It can only be said that 1t Is plainly ef' fective.
 Law Is Necessary
 Now, If the assertion We started with is right, that general unioniza- ton is necessary to national welfare and the conclusion is correct that 1t is being prevented by employe re- sistance and high dues, there Is only one answer-a law in the national interest to compel unionization. That Is shocking to all of our previous ideas of freedom to join or refuse to join 8 union and 1t certainly could not be considered with unionism functioning as 1t has done recently or as 1t threatens in the future. The public could entertain such a thought only if the unions were sub. pect to rigid responsibility imposef by law, and the whole employer employe relationship were put much more closely under governmental regulation than we ever dreamed.
 Non- Union Made Goods
 If it were impossible to ship non- union made goods in interstate com- merce, employers would have to en. courage unionism. Dues in such an imposed relationship would have :o be regulated by statute. The gov- ernment would have to conduct elec- tions at the instance of the employer as well as the employe. It would also have to put an absolute stop to such jurisdiction scraps as the Armageddon now threatened be- tween c. I. O. and A. F. of L.
 It probably would have to step in on the right to strike with at least the rigor that has been practiced in England.
 All this would be very undemocra- tic and extreme but something of the kind Is as sure as sunrise If labor disputes are to harass the public with a continuation If the turmoil ct this year thus far and to threaten 1t as it Is threatened now witt jurisdictional war.
 It is an economic problem which is already in the political field on . public interest that Is growing alnoss daily more acute. Unless that public interest Is protected and secured by the contestants. nothing Is more cer' tain than that 1t will be done by law
