We cannot accept without protest

Il know that you recognize that this
is problem that affects the Com

in considering the elimination of the
hospitals that participate in such
action from the list OF institutions in

in the membership of the United Fed

tard employment"
plea for reduction of Government
costs was coupled by the National Dry
Goods Association with a criticism of
the use OF the taxing power for regu-
lation or for punishment The asso-
citation spokesman took particular
issue with the pending provision on
capital gains on the grounds it Is I'M
duly complicated in its grsduatfons.
Earlier. Secretary of State Hull had
joined Secretary Of Agriculture WAL
lace in opposing the pork tariff pro-
vision inserted in the tax bill while
on the floor of the House.
In a letter to Chairman Harrison
Secretary Hull warned that this arbi-
trary making of tariff rates would
strike dangerous blow at reciprocal
trade treaty negotiations with Great
Britain, Canada and Poland.
There is no more dangerous game
than an embargo policy in foreign
trade he said. 1T can be played
by everybody. with suicidal results
for all.
Il am firmly of the opinion that
this proposal. if adopted. would not
benefit the corn-hog industry OF this
country even temporarily"
The tariff inserted by the House
was a tax of cents per pound on
imports Of pork products.
Among yesterdays developments, as
significant of the temper Of the COM
mittee, was the announcement by
Chairman Harrison that he had re-
ceived from Undersecretary of Treas
ury Roswell Magill an estimate that no
more than $40, 900 900 in revenue would
be lost by reducing the top surtax rate
from IS to 60 per cent. L. H. Parker
chief of the technical stan of the Joint
Committee on Internal Revenue, esti-
mated an even lower loss of revenue,
Chairman Harrison said, while neither
figure took into account the possible
increase through . stimulation to IN
vestment.
Although the chairman insisted he
had not received estimates of revised
revenue under a general scaling down
of the whole surtax structure, he ad-
mitted such adjustment would be vir-
tually necessary II the top bracket
were changed.

SEES BANKRUPTCY
FOR LARGE CITIES
Research Expert Tells Committee
They Cannot Continue on
Emergency Borrowing.

BY the Associated Press.
A Senate committee witness today
forecast bankruptcy for large cities
il they continue to finance relief by
emergency borrowing.
Carl P. Herbert Of ST. Paul. who
said he represented research bureaus
in Is cities. told the Unemployment
Committee relief costs must be scaled
down 80 they can be financed out of
current revenues. He urged that Fed
eral aid be granted on strictly
matching basis, with local or State
contributions being sufficiently large
Ito provide an emphatic interest in
economy"
Unless steps are taken to bring
these expenditures within the ability
Of our people to pay" Mr.. Herbert
said. I'VE will find shortly that it will
be necessary to reduce drastically the
funds provided for schools and other
local functions of government.
1T seems clear that the people in
these large cities cannot afford to pay
for the relief expenditures now being
made there.
IF the people in these particular
communities cannot afford it. then the
question may be seriously raised-can
the country as a whole afford it?"

to the defense of G. H. A.. saying his
committee planned program of def
mite action in the future.
Other developments were expected
during the day
Representative Scott had planned to
make his remarks on the floor of the
House late yesterday, but was pre-
vented by desire of members to ad-
Journ after another day or debate on
the Navy expansion program. The
remarks he placed in the Congress
sional Record. he said. represent the
first of series he proposes to devote
to activities Of G. H. A. and the op-
position it has aroused in the organ
ized medical fraternity.
The initial tribute to G. H. A.. how
ever. contained no reference to the
recent action of the Medical Society
in ousting DR.. Scandif1io.
Representative Scott said one attack
on G. H. A. is based on the ground
that it must be defined as an insurance
corporation
If it were so defined and forced to
meet the financial requirements of
the insurance laws" he declared. the
association would be unable to ac-
complish the purpose for which it
was organized-to provide medical
care for its members at a cost which
they can afford. Those who advanced
this charge do not deny this result,
out narrowly affirm that the end is
not desirable of the means Even
if it were granted that G. H. A. is
an insurance corpora tion. it would still

 We also ask that the guidance of the Department of Agriculture be asked to the end that the highway will penetrate the best agricultural sections.
 We suggest that when the road comes near lakes or inlets, that the route be laid a half mile from the water twhere the soil is good for farming so as to allow homestead CTS to locate on each side of the highway
 We also suggest that the perman- ent markers be placed as quickly as possible on those sections of the route close to Russian River and Homer so as to prevent confusion to those people now preparing to set tie a both ends.
