sumably the House will first tackle

Favors Long, Time Program
OF Public Employment
Backed by Big Fund.
h the Associated Press.

~ buS AbSOClAC6Q fIeSS.
Senator La Toilette. Progressive, of
wisconsin criticized the Governments
relief policy yesterday as "an attempt
to bail out this ocean with 4 tin dip
per"
The young Progressive is waiting
for "a good chance" to offer his own
solution-which he said is q recogni-
ton by Congress that public employ
ment IS 4 necessary and continuing
function Of the Federal Government.
Senator La Toilette said in an in
terview he would make no attempt on
the Senate floor to increase the $780,
100000 appropriation asked by the
administration to supplement existing
relief funds during the next four
months.
Proposed $4,000, 900 900 in 1888.
Nevertheless, 1t was the size OF this
and some previous relief appropria-
tions that resulted in his criticism.
In 1888 he proposed $4,000, 900 900
fund to be drawn from as the need
sroee and without regard to fiscal
years.
This is not a problem that arose
last year or the year BEFORE Senator
La Toilette declared 1T is a contin-
uins problem, problem we must con-
tinue to face"
He said unemployment existed even
IN the prosperous days Of the late '2Os,
and was only magnified by the de-
preston.
Providing employment on needed
public projects is sound Govern
ment investment he added.
Senator La Toilette advocated the
establishment of an agency for CEN
erallzed administration of public en-
ployment-not as an emergency Of
nee, but as regular arm of the Gov
eminent.
Short Appropriations Opposed.
Then we could map out our pro-
gram. We could plan it carefully and
systematically" he said. I'VE must
stop appropriating for three months
or six months"
The fund for operation of such an
agency, he said, need not be as much
as the 10 billion dollars he proposed
IN 1888, although it should be a sub
stantial amount.
The system would be a governor
on the economic situation, Senator La
Toilette declared
We might as well face the fact
he said. that private investment
left to its own devices, tends to de-
crease"
Private business expands when
through public employment, the pur-
chasing power is increased, he con-
tlnued, The Governments employ
ment burden then is decreased propor-
tionately, he added.
To accomplish this and other OBJ
Jectives, Senator La Toilette adyo-
Gated that more persons be required
to pay income tax and that higher
surtaXes be imposed on middle brack-
ct incomes He wants to reduce the
personal exemption for married tax
payers from s2,5O0 to $1,000 and for
SINGLE persons from $1,000 to $500
In addition, he favors taxing those
having middle bracket incomes more
nearly in proportion to the tax on
incomes over $5O,00O

DON'T BE SHOT ACCIDENT
ALLY-WEAR A SOMBRERO

Mexico, D. F.-P-The Mexi-
can sombrero is an institution
here, but it may be joke as well.
If cartoonists desire to make a
man look ridiculous, they put a
big sombrero on him.
Yet the sombrero, or hat, may
sometimes cost as much as $500.
Some are made of finest felt,
adorned with gold, silver and
copper, and few with precious
stones. The big hat has practical
advantages since it provides plen-
ty of protection from the sun,
spares the eyes from glare, and
prevents hunting accidents.
In the United States hunter
might mistake a moving object in
the woods for a deer, but the
Mexican sombrero never has been
taken for anything-but a SOM
blero.
