INCOME LEVY
ALSO FAVORED
BY MEMBERS
Dirksen in Favor of
New Feature

Continuation of the business
privilege tax and the $1.75 tax on
real estate will be provided in q
new tax bill to be introduced in
the House next week, it was an
nounced today by Representative
Jack Nichols CD of Oklahoma,
chairman of the House District
Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee.
In addition, an income tax may
be written into the bill to become
effective a year from enactment Of
the new tax measure.
CONTINUE LEVIES
Definite assurance that the
present tax program, enacted last
year for emergency purposes, will
be continued in it's present form
was given at the conclusion Of
preliminary hearings of the fiscal
affairs subcommittee.
After a session of less than an
hour, when the District Commits
sioners and District Auditor Dan
iel J. Donovan were heard briefly,
the subcommittee went into execu-
tive session with the local Off
cials to begin preparation for
drafting the new measure.
When the executive meeting
broke up. Representative Nichols
announced that the subcommittee
will meet Monday, put the bill into
final shape, and that the measure
probably will be introduced in the
House on Wednesday.
HEARINGS SLATED
Public hearings on the bill it.
self will begin the following week,
Mr.. Nichols announced, probably
a week from next Monday.
Introduction of the income tax
feature as a part of the bill grew
out of a discussion led by Repre-
sentative Everett M. Dirksen (R0
of Illinois, ardent income tax ad-
vocate, who pointed to the recently
public list of salaries above $780,
900 as "the most informative docu-
ment" in support of tax on in
come.
He disputed the efficacy Of q
sales tax, recommended by the
Commissioners tax advisory com-
mittee, as a "inequitable levy" and
pointed to statistics showing that
the lower income group bears the
brunt of sales tax.
Citing statistics from a recent
study he inserted in the record fig
ures showing that persons with an
income of $1,000 paid annually
$18,27 on the basis of a 3 per cent
sales tax. In the same ratio per-
sons with an income of $4,000 pay
$14.82; $4,000 to $5 900, pay $12.87:
from $4,000 they pay $11.97, and
$25,00O pay 1851.
This shows" Mr.. Dirksen
said. who pays the sales tax"
On the statement that repeal
of the business privilege tax has
been recommended by both the
Commissioners tax advisory COM
mittee and the citizens advisory
committee on taxation, Represent
ative Nichols told the committee
that he felt skeptical over the
citizens protests on the tax on
business.

With the housing and farm bills

ready for consideration in the
Senate.
Senators Russell (D) of Geor-

Carolina, took up the warfare
against the anti-lynching bill to-
day, with Senator Reynolds CD
of North Carolina, standing by to
take the floor any time a speaker
is needed to prevent vote.
Reynolds has spoken on the bill
every one of the four days it has
been debated in the Senate. The
North Carolinian declared himself
prepared to speak "for many
hours" if needed.

.LYNCHING BILL
7 0
SPLIT PAR 7 Y
Southern Foes Set
For Long Fight
By ARTHUR HACHTEN

G.N.S) Southern Senators
continuing their fight against the
anti-lynching bill in the Senate
today solemnly declared the meas,
ure threatens to split the Demo.
cratic party wide open.
Senator Byrnes Cd, South
Carolina, swung into the bitter
warfare with a blunt assertion the
measure has put the torch to
sectional hatreds," and threatens
to destroy the Democratic party"
SET FOR LONG FIGHT
Indignation of Dixie, famed by
the wage-hours bill, reached the
boiling point in today's skirmish-
ing over the Wagner-Van Nuys
anti-lynching bill. Attempts by
supporters of the measure to
round up a two-thirds majority to
apply the cloture or gag rule and
force a vote, proved futile. Repub-
licans and Democrats baked at
that drastic procedure.
So the Southern foes of the
measure settled down for a long
siege. They served notice they
al~talk in relays against the bill
in an effort to stave off a vote.
CITES STATE LAWS
Byrnes in pleading against "in.
vasion Of State powers" told the
Senate murder is punishable by
death in every State.
'The only justification then
for this bill must be that the pro-
ponents of it think that the
States are not enforcing their
laws against murder" said
Byrnes. "They want the Fed
eral Government to do it," he
said.
"This should be called a bill
to arouse ill-feeling between the
sections of the country and a bill
to destroy the Democratic
party"

Farm Outlook Dark,
Wallace Tells Senate
Committee A AdUiS ed
Relief Needs to
Be Larger
By ROBERT A. McGILL

Q.N.SO Recommending addl-
tional funds for relief, Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace today
painted drab outlook for the
farmer before the Senate Com
mittee investigating the business
recession.
Declaring that if money were
available, the farm rehabilitation,
program could be expanded to-
two or three times its present size.
Wallace said:
1--WE are facing an urgent ne
cessity for expanding rural re-
lief. The demand for Federal
aid is being augmented daily by
a variety of factors-notably an
impending drought in certain
areas, sagging farm prices, the
rapid mechanization Of agricul-
ture and the industrial reces-
sion"
LUMBER STUDIED
In addition, the committee ex-
poets to survey the lumber busi-
ness. Wilson Compton, president
of the National Lumber Manufac'
turers Association, will testify.
Leonard P. Ayres, Cleveland econ
omist, is also scheduled to appear.
John L. Lewis, chairman of the
CIo, win testify later in the
week.
The committee asked the prin-
cipal automobile manufacturers to
submit a month-by-month record
of employment for the year 1887.
This move was taken after Homer
L. Martin, president of the United
Automobile Workers, a CIO affil-
late, cited figures that failed to
correspond with recent Census rec
ords, and statements by William
S. Knudsen, president of General
Motors. Martin estimated employ
ment in the automobile industry
had fallen off so per cent, while
the committees temporary survey
showed less than half of that
amount.
LAY OFFS CHECKED
Chairman Byrnes (D.) of South
Carolina, said also he wanted to
check Martin on statements that
General Motors had been laying
off men steadily before the recent
announcement that 10000 had
been dropped from the giant cor
poration's payroll, and 205,000
others had been placed on a "a
hour work week.
The automobile companies to be
queried are General Motors, Chrys-
Ter, Ford, Hudson and Stude-
baker.
Byrnes said he had no quarrel

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Sept. 1e.-Realiz-
ing that something must be done
about the pitching staff if the WASH
'ington Senators are going to profit
through their excellent batting power,
Bucky Harris will make every effort to
learn about his mound candidates
during the remainder of the American
League season.
Some observers were inclined to
consider it taking a long shot when
the Senators called on youthful Rene
Monteagudo. the Cuban boy with the
rhnmba name, but he has done so we'll
in his starts thus far that Harris Is
going to give him another test in the
second game of the series with the
Browns.
st. Louis fans have heard about
the 20-year-od southpaw who is play
ing his first year of baseball in Los
Estados Unidos. Playing at Trenton
earlier in the season, he showed so
much courage and ability that he was
called by the Senators, and already
he has smelled the smoke of battle
against the Yankees, who beat him,
and the Red Sox, who bowed before
his southpaw cunning.
Southpaws Slated to Duel.
The second contest Of the Senator's
final series at Sportsman's Park will
be duel of left handlers as Russ Van
Alta, veteran southpaw, will be on
the hill for the Browns, who are
struggling to get out Of the American
League cellay.
Emil (Dutch) Leonard, helped by a
timely early inning attack. started
the Senators with victory yesterday.
He held the Browns to seven hits, and
four St. Louis errors behind the SOUTH
paw hurting of Howard Mills, helped
Washington to make it a 6-to-4
triumph.
Had it not been for one of the
weakest clubbers on the Brownie
roster. Leonard's margin would have
been greater. In the second inning,
with Two out and Beau Bell and
Tommy Heath on base by virtue Of
singles, Dutch made a careless pitch
to .:Teffner ana the former Yankee,
swinging from his heels at the fat
pitch, hit into the left-field
seats for his second home run Of the
season.

In addition to the parties Of the

of particular interest to the single
game get-together in the Polo Grounds
in New York. involving the second
place Chicago Cubs, who are only
three games back and moving fast, and
the Giants, who fell to fourth place
yesterday.
All signs point to trouble for the,
Pirates in Boston. The Bucs have
won only three of eight starts in the

staff handicapped by the loss OF Bob
Klinger. they're going to find 1t any
thing but beer and skittles knocking

The Reds have taken five OF eight
games in Philadelphia, but jimmy

All four OF the flrst-division outfits
were on hand for the Pirates-Giants

with an of f-day in their schedule, took

fit favored to finish On top.
Paul Waner walloped two homers,
and "Ii1 Poison" Lloyd, Pep Young
and Johnny Rizzo contributed one
apiece in the lopsided festivities. This
left the Pirates in a spot where they
can play just 500 ball in their remain
ing 20 games. while the Cubs would
have to take 13 Of l8 to pass them.
