some of the base tax rates have
not been increased in the past
five years. SurtaXeS on those
with large incomes have been
sharply increased to a share

many other increases were
adopted at the outset of the
New Deal.
In any event, 1t is clear nei-
ther the President nor business
knows what the other is talking
about.
Mr.. Roosevelt believes this is
because the utilities are against
him, and the utilitists believe it
is because iva, REA, PWA,

build competing lines with pub

Prospects of a Government

NOsO IL Right Time

NOGO IL Right Time
COMMERCIAL air travel has grown to full
~ estate. It has not reached the stage Of the
ratlroads-which are now taken for granted in
our daily lives and whose problems therefore do
not touch a spontaneous chord Of response In
the public mind.
The time for any industry to establish itself
intellgently, sanely, and most important Of all,
upon . sound economic base for future expan.
sion where all may live and let live, Is when it
is young and has the popular fancy behind it.
That is the position Of the air transport industry
today. It must establish itself sound1y in the
next five years. Beyond that time it will be too
late. As an industry it can obtain the things
and concessions now that it cannot hope to
get later on.

the spokesman, but some White
House correspondents noted
privately that he was about .
feet / inch in height, had gray
ing brown hair, gray eyes,
weighed about 100 pounds.
Strangely, FDR himself would
be described just about thus II
he were q missing parsonage.
Stranger still, the spokesman is
reported authoritatively to have
had the Roosevelt smile, and
there is every reason to believe
further that he not only sleeps
in Roosevelt's bed, but eats at
his table-and sits In the same
chair.
Distortion Charged
CERIOUS aspect was the
- spokesman's accusation that
business is deliberately distort-
ing" Mr.. Roosevelt's efforts in
three specific ways.
The man with the big anony-
nous voice mentioned first that
business was trying to make it
appear the Federal Government
was going to establish regional
equivalents of the Tennessee
Valley Authority all over the
United States.
Private utilitists did just this.
Utilitist Philip GadSden was
the first man to apply the term
"seven little TWAS" to the
Presidents recommendation for
seven regional power authori-
ties. Gadsden did it in comment
on the Presidents message to
Congress, June 3, 1887.
COMMENTATORS and repor-
" ters generally picked up the
phrase as the shortest fair de-
scription of what they thought
the President wanted. The Nor
ris and Mansfield bills. intro
duced thereafter, called fo-
seven authorities not only to
plan but to construct power
projects in what seemed and
still seems to be the manner OF
the iva.
Thus, from the same set Of
admitted facts, the President
and business have drawn such
opposite deductions that each
is now accusing the other of dis.
tortion.
Obvious conclusion is they are
thinking so lar apart that they
do not understand one another'S
Language. Prospects that they
will now get together in any
new cooperative venture, there
fore, would seem to be remote
unless they get an interpreter
who knows both their languages.
INSTANCE between tn cir
~ realms OF thought is even
more evident in another Of the
spokesman's accusations. He
said business was misleading the
people into believing "that the
Federal tax burden was far high
er than it had been two. three
or five years ago."
This was mirror-Shot at fig
ures compiled by the National
Industrial Conference Board. It
found that Federal income from
all tax sources in 1887 was ap-
proximately 5,029 millions Of
dollars: in 1886, 3,847 millions;
in 1925, 3,546 millions and in
1893, 1876 millions. From these
figures. business organizations
concluded that the Federal tax
burdan has been mounting.

ACTION ON SCHOOL

$34.C9O Estimated Cost of
Middleburg Project Held
Too Much

Action looking toward erection of a
large addition to the Middleburg high
school was deferred by the Vance
County Board of Education late Mon
day when members decided the costs
of the project as presented to them
was too high. They asked Eric G
Flanagan, architect, to draw other
plans less elaborate.
The boards decision came after
four of the five members visited the
school during the day, and agreed I'M
animously that more room was i'm
perative. Fians submitted to the board
for approval called for an outlay O.
$4,000.
1t is PROPOSED to add four new class
rooms, a library and an office for the
principal, and an extension of the al
ditoriln.
The education board cid not reac..
agreement to the extent that it was
willing to ask the county commission
ers for approval. The entire matter
was deferred until more modest pro
posals can DE had.
It was understood the county COM
missioners were prepared to go along
with the education body in anything
reasonable that was asked.
A delegation of Middlaburg citizens
appeared before the school board to
urge the enlargement of their school.
The board was willing to enlarge it
but hoped for a less costly structure
Revised plans will be laid before the
board at later session.
