A JUMP of SIS millions is con-

then another of $40 millions in
November, the table shows.
But WPA, which is handling
the great bulk of the out-seep-
ing, expects to give away only
$3.50 millions more this six
months than last. PWA will &C
tually fall, you will note, when
winter winds make construction
difficult in many sections. and

AAA, too, will be off $29 mil
lions this six months, but it will
mean nothing politically or fl.
nancially, as the farm deficiency
will be more than made up by
the Commodity Credit Corp.
Four agencies will spend less
this six months-AAA, Civilian

Despite all the artificialities, this market remains

Stupendous Cost of Records
THERE are. however, handicaps in the idea
which may cause the Vinson checkoff scheme
to be abandoned. How would the employer
handle the tax exemptions Of all his employees?
His credits? His deductions? Such items vary
with each taxpayer.
The cost Of keeping such records would be stu
pendous-and be still another deterrent to re-
vval of better business. Moreover, 1t would
make every employees life virtual open book to
his employer.
Remembering that the present corporate tax
was given by Mr.. Roosevelt as one Of the reasons
for his refusal to sign the 1898 revenue act 1t
is considered an almost sure bet that an attempt
will be made to reintroduce the undiStributed
profits tax in q less drastic form than the 1895
revenue act, which contributed so much to
creating the 1887 Roosevelt depression.

Much To Be Learned
MUCH will be learned concerning this great
UA issue between now and November. Until
the result is clearer. periods Of hesitation and
reaction from advances are bound to affect the
stock market.
Personally, however, am hopeful. The
market itself registers hope For it has held
above the lower level which it maintained between
July / and July IS. After all, investment is and
always will be the backbone Of any security
market, and the absence of liquidation at this
time Is encouraging.

upward, including machine tool orders and pro-
ducers, inventories Of nonferrous metals.

1T would have the employer collect the tax
