An income tax may be saddled on
the District as permanent source
of revenue. it was indicated today
after the fiscal affairs subcommittee
OF the House District Committee be-
gan the preliminary work of writing
new tax legislation for the coming
fiscal year.
The subcommittee already has ten
tatively decided to continue the wide
ly condemned business privilege tax
on gross receipts for another year
as we'll as the present SITS levy on
real and personal property as
means of raising between $4,000, 900
and s5,000,00o to balance the 1889
budget.
The proposed income tax. however,
probably would not be put into effect
until the 1910 fiscal year. when it
would become a substitute for the
business privilege tax.
The subcommittee concluded a brief
study of the municipal governments
financial situation about II m today
and Immediately went into executive
session with group of District officials
| to map out an outline for the new tax
program. The officials included Com
missioners Melvin c. Hazen and Col
Dan. I. Sultan, Corporation Counsel
Elwood H. Seal and Capt Herbert c.
Whitehurst, director of highways.
Public Hearings Promised.
Another meeting of the subcomanit-
tee will be held Monday to complete
the draft OF the tax bill. Chairman
Nichols said as soon as the measure
is completed it would be Immediately
introduced in the House and series
Of public hearings held on it.
Some minor notifications. it was
said, may be made in the business priv
ilege tax to meet certain objections.
but Chairman Nichols announced the
new program would be "strikingly SIM
liar to the present law.
A rate for the proposed income tax
has not been decided. Neither has it
been definitely determined to include
it in the new tax program.
That is question:" Mr. Nichols
declared, that will be settled Mon
day."
Mr. Nichols himself proposed the
income tax as permanent tax legisla-
| ton as compromise to satisfy sew
eral members of the subcommittee who
had indicated they would vigorously
oppose general sales tax or continu-
alton of the business privilege levy.
He suggested delay of year in its
effective date would allow ample op-
portunity for test of its validity.
But" warned Representative Dirk
sen, Republican. of Illinois, champion
of an income tax, you can't have a
moot test in the courts
Predicts Bigger Income.
Mr.. Nichols estimated continuation
OF the business privilege tax as we'll as
the 25-cent increase in the real estate
levy would yield far more than S.
100000 in the coming fiscal year.
When the tax collection machinery is
functioning properly he believes the
business privilege levy will yield $3,-
000,0 900 and the additional 25-cent real
estate tax another $4,000, 900.
These two so-called emergency" tax
measures were originally intended to
last one year. The business privilege
levy is destined to die at the close of
the current fiscal year June 80. At
that time the real estate tax also Is
scheduled to return to the former $1.50
rate.
The final hearing of the subcom-
mittee was devoted chiefly to q dis

A bleak picture of rural districts
accompanied by inadequacy of Federal
relief facilities was presented by Sec
retary of Agriculture Wallace today
before the Senate Unemployment
Committee.
Tying the rural economic conditions
to those of industry and labor, the
Secretary emphasized that:
1T is especially important to hold
up the truth that the welfare of all
these groups moves together. At times,
there have been efforts to make them
appear antagonistic, but it is a fact
that prosperity of business. employ
ment of labor and prosperity OF agri-
culture move hand in hand.
THE heart of the problem is to
keep them in continuous balance in
an ascending scale"
Alarmed at Mechanization.
Alarmed particularly at increasing
mechanization of farm operations and
decreasing industrial employment op-
portunities, Secretary Wallace pre-
dicted that within the next two dec
AIDES approximately 100000 farm
youths will mature with virtually no
prospect of finding land to farm or
even steady employment as agricul-
tural laborers"
AT this date it is impossible to FORE
see the speed with which farm relief
demands may grow, or even to predict
their magnitude within the next few
months. They will be determined, in
large measure, by the weather and
the course of business recovery.
These things. however. are certain:
Distress already is widespread through
out broad sectors of American agri-
culture; it is growing rapidly, and
neither local nor Federal agencies have
the means to cope with It,"
Col. Leonard P. Ayres, economist of
the Cleveland Trust Co., told the COM
mittee he believed the electric utility
situation to be the "key log in the
present JAM"
Predicts Others Would Follow.
If this industry could return to its
pre-depression activity of spending a
billion dollars yearly on construction,
Col. Ayres predicted that improve

you will have learned how to keep the curls in place, had time to get used to the idea of seeing your jaw lie unsoftened by hair behind and q little below your ears and become accustomed to the remarks of your friends Then you can make up your mind whether to retain the new hairdo or go back to your long bob.
 Step number one in the right right direction toward brand new, ultra fiattering colffure is series of reconditioring treatments for hair and scalp. At least q month be- fore you intend to try an upswept, discuss the idea with your hair dresser so he will know how to cut your hair between now and then Begin using your hairbrugh every single night. regardless of where you are or how tired you may be. And have some kind of special scalp treatment before each weekly shampoo. At the end of the month, your hair should bc in better con- dition to receive a permanent.
 Once you have a permanent and the right kind Of haircut, 1t really shouldn't be too difficult to learn to keep curls on top of your head.

RAISING A FAMILY
 By Olive Roberts Barton
Mother Must Be Child's Friend, Not Her Warden

out their permission and see if we can't spot some prospect of trouble for everybody.
 Mrs. Cross is laying up unhap- piness for herself, and possibly for Eva. Maybe Eva is little unhappy even now. Two people can never live identical lives, even mothers and daughters. Eva is losing her independence and the power of thinking. She is nervous, too, with mama always sitting there knitting and watching. She is becoming more rcscntful of having to share every act and thought. It is human to want to be alone at times, to think alone and choose alone.
 Mature Judgment
 Mrs. Crown is nearer to the ideal. Nancy is growing in stature mentally and cmotionally with each month. She is a person without a shadow, a being without crutch. She has learned to depend on her own judgment and even now thinks maturely. There is no haunting and no pressure on her powers. She is free.
 Yet her mother may be losing something very precious by the per- sistent absentee method, and so may the girl. There IS no mutual bond between the two. Neither can talk over the same experiences and this is almost essential to confidence. Some day this mother may find her world gone, for Nancy won't come back once she leaves. Then what will she have? Her daughter may be thinking kindly of her, but with unconditional detachment. At least there is this chance.
 My advice is this. Mix the poll cies of these two mothers. Be a friend, not a warden. Be friend not a stranger. This fixes is just about right.

Mrs. Grown was the exact op- positc. She almost didn't care what Nancy did. Why, Nancy even went and had her hair cut exactly as she pleased and bought shoes of any kind and color she fancied. As for lessons, her mother let her board street cars and ride miles to a strange neighborhood every week just because Nancy liked certain teacher better.
 Daughter Independent The child was getting to think that she knew everything, accord ing to Neighbor Gross, and now she wouldn't go with other girls her own age but was as thick as hops with the girls in high school. Eva had quiet mousy look. Nancy Waa rather boyish. The two girls were not enemies, not at all but they mixed no more smoothly than oi. and water.

WOMAN,S REALM E
Falls Daytime Dresses Put Accent On Youtl
By MARIAN YOUNG NEA Service Staff Correspondent

New York - Ne W fall daytime dresses dranatize natural feminine curves and are, for the most part, essentially youthful.
 Daytime skirts are quite short GA to 16 inches from the floor, de- pending on the shape of your legs) :. The majority are flared, although straight, slim versions and those with spaced pleats are featured, too Bodices are fitted to accentuate the bosom, make the waistline tiny and hips slim. High necklines take the spotlight. Shoulders are very de- finitely square, and long sleeves are favored by most couturiers.
 However, so varied is the fall and winter dress picture that no shop per, whatever her personal likes and dislikes, possibly could have any difficulty finding an accepted style that is especially fiattering to her.
 There are wonderful draped bod ices for those who are weary of dresses cut on skirtwaist lines. There are open necklines for the woman who hates high ones, no matter how much they are touted. Short sleeves and bracelet length ones look quite as smart as the longer types. Bloused bodices and dolman sleeves look new and are wonderful for the too thin and for the tall.
 Varity of Textures
 Embroidered details (Molyneux puts jewel-embroidered bands on necklines of wool dresses), quilting, appliqued effects 0or example, vel vet medallions on wooD, fur and stunning buttons are used for trim ming. One smart, bloused -back wool has a diminutive, turn over collar of mink.
 Smooth -textured fabrics are wide ly discussed. But 50 are matelasse or cloque materials. By all means consider matelasse types as well as wonderful messy crepes, dull finish crepes, pebby weaves, twills, silk and wool persies and corded crepes. h. cidentally, brand new is a rayor jersey with a wool finish on ono side, satin finish on the other.
 Black is as popular as ever, ano your first fall street dress more tman likely will be black. But fol the second one or for an afternoon model, look at the color situation carefully before choosing black again. Wine, plum, rust, lavender purple, mustard, teal blue, sagt green and elephant gray are not tt be dismissed lightly. It takes more time and thought to introduce coloi into your wardrobe, but the results can be worth the effort.

and the reduced dividends may make the investment a poor paying one, especially if the students health suffers.
 The student who goes through school on borrowed money has an easier time for the four years - but at the end of that time he has accumulated a debt that may take years to pay off.
