COUNTY TO GET
SECURITIES TAX

ROCHELLE, Nd, Jan. 26.-At
least $2,000,00 in unreported Sc
curities will be added to Mont
gomery county's assesSable basis
during the next year by exercising
authority granted under the Cos
tigan act, which gives the States
access to Federal income tax files
Wilton r. Allen, supervisor of as
sessments, declared today.
Although enacted about a year
ago. Maryland has failed to take
advantage of this authority, due
to a lack of funds, Mr.. Allen said
However, this was ironed out dur
ing a conference at Baltimore g
short time ago, when assessment
supervisors were instructed to pro
ceed under the act.
Persons or corporations found
to have securities unreported, &C
cording to Mr.. Allen, will be
penalized because the law pro
vides for collection of three years
back taxes in addition to the cur
rent ones. Interest penalties alsC
will be added, he said.
Mr.. Allen pointed out that II

yielded $21, 900 in taxes for thI

Records Set
ByLynching
FiLibuster

I,NS.) Senators filibusterine
against the anti-lynching bill to
day boasted they would shattel
records for marathon talking
hung up in famous filibusters OF
the past. The present filibuster is
in it's eighteenth day.
Already Senators Ellender CD
Louisiana, and Pepper Cd Flor
ida, we're believed to have estab
lished records for continuous
speaking without breathing spells
for quorum calls.
OLD RECORDS LISTED
The late Senator Robert M. La
Toilette Of Wisconsin hung up the
all-tnme record for Sc n ate
speeches, 18 hours and % minutes
on May % and 80, 1908. on the
Vreeland currency bill. But he was
given rest periods by many
quorum calls.
Other records for the current
crop of Senators to shoot at:
Senator Reed Smooth of Utah,
II hours, Is minutes, January 20
and 80, 1915, on a Ship-purchase
bill.
Senatro Theodore Burton of
Ohio, II hours, 10 minutes, Sep
tember 18 and 10, 1914, on a rivers
and harborS bill.
Senator Charles J. Faulkner Of
West Virginia, 13 hours, January
l6. 1891. on a force bill unwanted
by the South.
Senator Wesley Jones of Wash
lngton, l3 hours, S. minutes,
February 9, 1915, on a ship-pur-
chase bill.
THIS TALK NOT CHEAP
Senator Huey P. Long, Louisi.
ana, Is hours 35 minutes, June II
and 13, 1885, on a bill to extend
the national industrial act.
1t costs $50 per page to print
The Congressional Record. Thus,
Longs long speech. consuming "a
pages of the Record, cost the tax
payers $4,000.
Bills occasionally have been held
before the Senate for many
months through artful filibuster-
ing, Senators recalled. There have
oeen innumerable instances Of fill
clustering against a series of bills
not yet called up.
In such cases the filibusterers
are the last to admit they are fill
clustering. They usually assert
they are legitimately debating the
pending motion.

Representative Roy o. Wood
ruff Cd of Michigan called upon
the American Federation of Labor
to refuse reconciliation with the

itself of communiStic elements.
1T is the duty of the American
Federation of Labor, and it ought
not to amalgamate with the CIO
until that body rids itself of every
communistic and radical element" I"
he declared.
The Washington times., 1938-01-26

Chairman Doughton will give
the committee a brief respite after
nine days of public hearings
which closed last night, before
starting the executive sessions.
THREE OUTSTANDING ISSUES
Three outtanding issues, at least
one of which shattered party lines
were faced by the committee
They are:
l. The, BIPARTISAN revolt
against penalty taxes on closely
held or family-owned corpora
tions earning over $25,000 a
year.
2. Republican demands, pos
Sibly supported by some Demo
Gratis, for outright repeal of the
undistributed profits tax instead
of modification recommended by
the tax subcommittee and the
Treasury.
3. Similar demands for q flat
tax on capital gains instead
of the subcommittee modifica-
tion of the present law.
BUSINESS VIEW CITED
Committee leaders pointed to
the testimony of business leaders
praiSing proposed modification of
the profits and gains taxes in ex-
pressing confidence that the sub
committee plan will be approved
Foes contended that business,
while admitting that modifica-
tion will be helpful, feels that out
right repeal of the profits tax is
necessary to stimulate business.
A close vote was forecast in the
committee on the much-protested
proposal to levy penalty taxes OF
20 per cent upon closely held or
family-owned corporations earn
ing over 5000 a year and fail.
ing to distribute 10 per cent of
their profits.
Representative Vinson Cd of
Kentucky who headed the tax sub
committee, asserted that the full
committee will approve the tax.
Vinson said the committee will
study q proposal of Clinton David
SON, of New York, representing the
Investors Council, to enactsspecial
lowered tax provisions to encour-
age dissolution of personal hold
ing corporations. Vinson said the
proposal to reduce the prevailing
70 per cent levieS, has merit.

FAIRLESS' VIEWS

Benjamin v. FairleSS, president
of United States Steel, approached
the subject inverSely, declaring
steel prices cannot be reduced
without cutting wages. The PreSi.
dent agreed with FairleSS that the
steel industry cannot show a
profit while operating at 30 pei
cent capacity, but voiced the
opinion it could at SO to SIS per
cent.
"The only way to get volume
up" he said, "is to produce
goods for a price the public will
pay But that does not mean
that such price reductions can
come out Of wages. Those who
believe in the profit system must
recognize that those who get
the profits when business is good
must bear the losses when bust-
ness temporarily is slack. Those
who get the profits when indus
try gets the volume are the ones
to bear the risk of such price re-
ductions as may be necessary
to stimulate and restore vol
ume,"

GETTING STRONGER

Leading champions of the bill
admitted that unless they are able
to force adoption of the gag"
rule, their fight will be futile in
the face of the tenacious filibuster
of Southern Senators, which went
into its eighteenth day today and
plainly growing stronger.
DiSsension broke out in the
ranks of the bills supporters, with
some Senators openly bolting to
the opposition, others still hitched
to the bill pleaded it would be fu.
tile to carry on, with pressure riS-
ing daily for action on other
measures.
In resorting to the cloture rule,
advocates of the measure declared
their purpose was to show the
country they had done all in their
power; that they had reSorted to
every weapon available to smash
the filibuster.

Meanwhile, the cities of Calu.
met, Houghton, and Marquette re.
ported the force of the blizzard
diminishing and were left with the
gigantic task of digging out of
the snow banks. Marquette, with
only a one-day supply of milk on
hand, expected to get it's first
train moving south late today or
tomorrow.
Heavy seas swept over the
breakwater here and destroyed the
200-foot long Coast Guard pier.
The Coast Guard cutter Nanse-
mond abandoned the pier and
rode out tn estorm in the bay
safely, it was reported.
Here the storm was said to be
the worst in IS years. At NUNS
ing it was said to be the worst
since the blizzard of 1888.
TUGS IN ICE JAM
At Charlevoix two fishing tugs
with five men aboard were re-
ported caught in an ice jam in the
harbor. Coast Guardsmen have
lines aboard, however, and will re-
move the crews if the boats are in
danger of being crushed by the ice.
The entire upper Michigan pc
ninSular was isolated, and school
children near Ironwood and Crys-
tai Falls were marooned in their
school houses. They had adequate
food supplies, however.
The State highway department
reported a woman and child we're
lost in an automobile outside Lit
tie Lake in Marquette county, but
they may have been able to reach
a farm house in safety.
Weather men reported the snow
and winds were moving down
across the Straits of Mackinac
