FOES GAIN HEART
IN PAY BILL FIGHT
Find Majority of Senators
on Committee Favor
DifferentiaIs.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Southern members OF Congress,
fighting q nationally uniform minimum
wage, gained encouragement today
from the fact a majority Of seven
Senators chosen to draft q compromise
wage hour bill favors regional differen-
tials.
Most OF the prospective House men,
bers Of the joint Conference Commit
tee. on the other hand, are expected to
fight pay concessions.
Senator Harrison, Democrat, OF Mis-
sissippi. leading opponent Of the leg
islation. said the committees action
would determine whether an extended
fight would be made later on the floor.
He indicated. however, he believed
passage Of some wage-hour bill was in
evitable.
The number Of Senate conferees was
increased from five to seven late yes
terday to permit inclusion Of two
Southerners-Senators Ellender, DEM
ocrat, Of Louisiana and Pepper, Demo-
crat, of Florida.
From Senator Ellender came sug-
gestion that the wage-hour regulations
proposed in both the Senate and House
bills be "softened," although he said
he favored attaining the ultimate goal
of a 40-hour week and 40 cents an
hour minimum pay.
He proposed that the date when the
standards become effective might be
extended to one year after passage of
the bill, Ito give industry a chance
to get ready"
Senator Pepper said he intended to
go down the line" for the Senate bill
by which q board would fix minimum
wages up to 40 cents an hour and
maximum work weeks OF not less
than 40 hours. The House bill pro-
vides q wage minimum Of 25 cents
an hour, increasing to 40 cents in
three years, and a 44-hour week, de-
creasing to 40 hours after two years,
Senator Pepper indicated, however,
he might agree to a compromise by
which the Secretary Of Labor would
fix wage and hour dif1erentials.
Senator Walsh, Democrat. of Massa-
chusetts, another conferee, said he
favored the principle of the uniform
regulations in the House bill, but he
believed industry should be given time
to prepare for the program. Senator
Murray, Democrat. Of Montana. open
minded on the differential question,
concurred in the latter view.

terprise will take up the burden. the
money Government thus spends to
encourage the Nation to live better
especially that part Of the Nation
which most needs its taxpayers
money.
Two questions, therefore, arise: rs
that spending justified from the point
of view of the individual taxpayer and
how should the money be raised?"
So far as the taxpayers individual
interest is concerned. always look
at it this way.
Most Important Factor.
Taxes. local and State and Federal
combined, are nowhere near as hlgn
in this country as they are In any
other great nation that pretends to
be up to date. II I were a business
man making and hoping to continue
to make good profits, would remind
myself as l paid my income tax, mod
crate by the standards Of other ma
tions. that the most important factor
in the kind of an active economic life
in which profits can be made, is peo-
ple-able, alert. competent and up
to-date people-to produce and to con-
sumo. Money invested to make and
keep the people of this Nation that
kind of people is therefore good
business investment.
And If were the same man think
ing about inheritance taxes and what
I could leave to my children. would
say to myself that to leave them a
living in q Nation of strong and able
men and women is to leave them .
better heritage of security than a
few thousand dollars saved on an
inheritance tax.
Now, how should taxes be paid?
For a great many years. America as
a whole has accepted the principle
that taxes ought to be paid by indi-
viduals in accordance with their ca
pacity to pay. To put it another way,
it has meant a graduated tax on a
mans increase in wealth. For instance,
a poor man or poor family whose in
crease in wealth in given year Is be-
low q certain figure pays no direct
Federal taxes at all: when the family
gains more than $4,000 in a year the
family pays a small percentage on
these gains.
Percentage Goes Up.
As the gains get still larger, the
percentage Of the tax goes up so that
when . family's wealth increases to
say 100000 year. they have to
pay q third Of 1t to the Federal Gov
ernment. In the case Of still richer
people. they may have to pay more
than half Of their large incomes to
the State and Federal Governments.
Last week the Congress passed q
new tax bill It contained many good
features-improvements in tax ad-
ministration, the elimination OF a
number Of nuisance taxes on articles
in common use, the tightening of the
tax burden on the small corporation
as recommended to the Congress
last fall. hope that these changes
made by this tax bill may be helpful
to business and that this belief may,
in itself, be . factor in the revival
Of business enterprise.
But, on the other side Of the ledger,
I cannot help but regret that two
very fundamental principles Of gov
eminent must once more be called to
the attention Of the public.
Both Of them, stripped Of every at
tempt to confuse, are extraordinarily
simple and can be understood by
every citizen.
In 1885 many large corporations,
especially those owned or controlled
by q comparatively small number OF
very rich stockholders, were in the

STIFF RESISTANCE
SLOWS JAPANESE
Fighting RACES on Lunghai
Railroad East of
ChengchoW.
Ey the Associated Press.

~ VIC AoooClateQ FIcS1.
SHANGHAI, May 27-The Japanese
Army is meeting intense resistance to
its newest drive into the interior OF
Central China, which for nearly q
week has been without highly i'm
portant progress.
The japanese are trying to push
their way westward along the cross
country Lunghai Railway to Cheng-
chow, and to turn southwark from
that junction with the Peiping- Han
kow line for an attack on Hankow, the
Chinese governments provisional
capital
To get to Chengchow, the Japanese
must capture Lanfang. Kweiteh and
Kaifeng, which are stations along the
Lunghai, and it is in areas about these
points that fighting has centered this
week.
Chinese Report Victory.
Chinese Army headquarters an
nounced that the japanese l4th Divi-
sion, commanded by the famous 1t.
Gen. Kenji Doihara, had been driven
from threatening positions east OF Kali
feng and was retreating to the north
east.
This left the bend of the Yellow
River northeast Of Kaifeng, an i'm
portant strategic point, in control OF
Chinese forces.
Gunfire has been audible in Kaifeng
almost continuously for several days,
causing large-scale flight OF civilians,
but Chinese Army units were reported
in good state of morale and prepar-
ing for vigorous defense of the Cheng-
-Kaifeng area.
Kaifeng, an ancient capital OF
China, is 48 miles east of Chengchow.
Lanfang is % miles east of Kaifeng.
20 villages Bombed.
Twenty villages between Kaifeng
and Kweiteh were bombed by 10
japanese planes today with heavy
casualties. One column was said to
have occupied Yucheng, IS miles from
Kweiteh. A similar claim was made
earlier in the week
The most intense fighting probably
centered about Lanfang. Chinese in
a midnight attack fought hand to
hand with the enemy, and said they
recaptured Hotseh. north OF Lanfang,
and that the japanese garrison re-
treated, leaving 800 dead.

habit Of failing to declare dividends
they had earned. Thus their stock
holders were In a position to leave
the profits their money had made in
the controlled corporation-paying
the Government on these profits only
the normal corporation tax Of from
10 to IS per cent. Thus, these stock
holders avoided paying a personal
income tax at rate which In many
cases would have involved tax
payment of 50 per cent or even higher
because the stockholders were In
what is known as the upper brackets
of the personal income tax.
The Treasury Department found
many instances of closely held cor
porations which. starting with the
comparatively modest capital Of sew
eral million dollars, had over a period
OF years grown into corporations worth
several hundreds Of millions of dol
lars without even declaring a dividend
to their stockholders. This meant a
definite though of course strictly
legal device by which these stockhold-
ers greatly increased their wealth
year by year without having to pay
to the Government more than nor
NAL corporation tax, thus escaping
very large sums Of personal income
tax payments.
The Revenue Act Of 1886 sought to
end this serious loophole.
Objective Was Right.
In principle our objective was right,
but in practice the act as finally
worked out in the Senate undoubtedly
did prevent many small corporations
from normal and reasonable business
expansion, from building up adequate
surpluses or from paying of old debts.
The tax bill this year sought to get
rid OF these inequitable features. but
to retain at the same time the prin-
ciple of stopping tax avoidance. A
finally passed, the bill retains that
principle. but the penalty for with
holding dividends to stockholders is
so small-only 2i2 per cent at the
most-that it is doubtful whether il
will wholly eliminate the old tax
avoidance practices of the past.
It Is true that the bill seeks to
strengthen the authority Of the Gov
ernment to act against companies
which clearly seek to avoid surtaxes
for their stockholders by failing to de-
clare dividends out Of their profits
and I hope that this new provision
together with the recent favorable
decision Of the Supreme Court in in.
terpreting the prior law. will retard
the revival Of the old evil. It seems
to me that it is the definite duty and
interest OF the public and of the legis-
lative and executive branches Of the
Government to watch very closely to
see what happens during the coming
year.

that the architect selected by the

chairman as to usurp his authority

in regard to the commission.

Before the hearings started TO-DAY
1t was predicted by members OF the
subcommittee, headed by Representa-
tive Woodrum of Virginia, that the
$500. 600 recommended by the Budget
Bureau and the President would not
be included in the deficiency appro-
priation bill. The committee included
this item last year and it was knocked
out, bv the House, so the subcommittee
feels in advance that it should not
humiliate itself second time.
Chairman John J. Boylan and othef
members of the Thomas Jefferson Me-
mortal Commission appeared this
morning before the deficiency sub
committee, asking for the S50O,OOO ap-
propriation and claiming the support
of President Roosevelt. A representa-
tive of the architect of the proposed
plan accompanied the commission
members.
MIR. Keller was to be accompanied by
Gilmore D. Clark of New York, the
new chairman of the Commission OF
Fine Arts. Several civic organizations
and members of Congress have also
asked to be heard in opposition. These
include the Garden Clubs of America,
the Commission of Fine Arts and the

a bill authorizing the establishment
of a planetarium in Washington to

The Library Committee chairman
devoted practically the entire day
Yesterday to lobbying against the pro-
posed s5o0,OOO appropriation to start
work on the memorial. He showed
members of the House parallel pic
lures, which he intends to show to
the appropriations subcommittee this
afternoon, of the architects plans for
the Mellon Art Gallery now being
erected at Sixth street and Constitu-
tion avenue NV. and for the design
of the memorial as approved by the

asked.
Are we so poverty-stricken in
ideals or architecture that Jefferson
cannot have an original design for
a memorial, as outstanding among
works of art as he was among men?'
he continued IF this is the best
