Texas Assemb|ySe
For Fight on Stiff Tax
To Finance Pensions
Transactions Levy Asked
By O'DonieI Is Held q
Multiplied SoIes Tax
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
AUSTIN, Tex. Jan. 19.-AmaZed
Texas lawmakers were arrayed to-
! day for bitter fight over a pro-
posed transaction levy which some
termed more drastic than any sales
tax in the Nation
The sweeping plan for financing
old-age pensions was suggested yes
terday by Gov. w. Lee ODaniel.
If enacted it would be the first such
tax in the United States.
A survey of the legislators indi-
Gated lines would be formed similar
to those of former battles over the
sales tax, rejected by previous Legis-
latures.
Gov: o'Daniels proposals in
cluded:
l. Submission to the people of an
amendment to the constitution
which would guarantee to all per-
sons over 65 years of age an income
of $50 month, this guarantee to
be in cooperation with the Federal
Government. and the States por-
ton to be limited to SIS.
2. Submission in the same amend
ment of 1.6 per cent transactions
tax
3. Abolition of the State ad val
orem tax.
Pensions for An in Need.
Mr.. ODaniel submitted drafts OF
the amendment and an enabling
bill to make the amendment effec-
tive.
In his campaign he advocated
payment of $50 month pensions
to all persons over IS.
The constitutional amendment
and the bill would pay pensions to
persons in need but need" would
be defined as not having an income
of $50 month.
In discussion following the address
the transactions tax was called a
"sales tax plus a "glorif1ed sales
tax" "pyramided sales tax and
multiplied sales tax
The bill Mr.. O'Daniel offered de-
fined the transaction" as ANY
dealing of every kind whatsoever
between two or more persons"
Gov. ODaniel suggested the fol-
lowing exemptions:
Transactions involving charitable
institutions.
Salaries, wages and professional
fees.
First sale of producer Of all agri-
cultural and livestock products.
Street car passenger fares up to
10 cents and street sales Of news
papers.
Three Taxes on Sack of Flour.
The tax would levy on manufac-
turer and jobber as we'll as on retail
sales. 1t would tax such payments
as those for house rent, purchase
Of newspaper advertising space and
theater admissions.
For example, by the time a sack
OF flour reached the consumers
kitchen three taxes of 1.6 per cent
each would have been paid on 1t.
Estimating the tax would yield
in good business years approximate
ly $45 900 900 annually, Mr.. ODaniel
said he had chosen it especially
because it presented a broad base
Of taxation.

English Novelist Says
Wars Result Isn't
Thing That Matters
Phyllis Bottome Says II
It's Right We Must
Go Through With 1t

Phyllis Bottome, the English nov-
elist, told Mrs. Roosevelt's press con-
ference today that IF it's right to
fight, we must go through with 1t
and leave the question Of results
alone"
The Enelishwoman, recently ar
rived on lecture tour, was a guest
at the press conference which also
included talks by Mrs. Edward P.
Costigan, widow of the Senator
from Colorado, and Mrs. Betty
Lindley, director of girls projects
for the National Youth Admins
tration.
In answer to reporters question
on what she thought. would be the
outcome OF the European war, Mrs.
Bottome said she didn't think that
mattered at all as long as the deci-
sion to enter the war had been
made.
Speaking of Finland, she said she
felt like any human being who sees
a big man kick small boy.
I'D like to kick the big man N.Y.
SELF she declared, adding that she
wishes there were more "Davids" to
fight the "Goliaths."
Mrs. Costigan and Mrs. Lindley
outlined the results of a recent
"evaluation conference" in Denver
on the work being accomplished on
the girls N. Y. A. project.
Mrs. Roosevelt, commenting on
their report, pointed out that evalu-
atlng girls work was a new thing.
which has brought out the fact that
IL just as necessary to give girls a
chance to become useful citizens as
boys.
The conference, Mrs. Costigan
said, resulted in the discovery that
more variety of work experience
should be given the girls and that
all of them needed training in the
home-making arts and specific
health instruction.
OF the l25,000 girls now on the
program, Mrs. Lindley reported. 40
600 are in clerical and stenogra phic
work, 25.000 in home-making activi-
ties, 10000 in the residential centers.
where the girls help keep house
while earning their way; 5000 in

IN library work and book repairing

and serving of school lunches, 1900

BY WILLIAM L. WHITE.

BERLIN by Air MaiD -
Listen" said the big American
from Alabama. 'let me tell it.
George and I were on this bus,
see. on our way to the American
Embassy for our mail, and we
were talking, I forget about what,
and not loud. either, when I
noticed this Heinie sitting op-
posite giving us dirty looks, In
about minute this Heinie gets
up, all red in the face, and still
giving us those looks, and says,
so every one in the bus could
hear. we shouldn't be talking
English, because of the war.
We'll. it was a good thing I
was along. or George would have
flown off the handle, because he
wanted to up with the old dukes
and let this Heinie have it. But
l calmed George down, l said
we'd ought to remember this
wasn't our country, we'd ought to.
keep our heads and reason with
this guy, and not get into any
trouble.
so says to this Heinie, sure
we were talking English and
what the hell business was it of
his? I asked him in perfectly
conversational tones if just be-
cause his army was in Poland did
he expect Americans to talk on
their fingers like dummies? You
see there was no use antagoniz-
ing the fellow. I didn't raise my
voice the whole time and every
thing I said I had nice friendly
smile on my face.
But this Heinie goes right on
in German, saying they were at
war with England. and we
shouldn't be talking English. and
it was a good thing I was along,
or George would have lost his
temper. Because instead of say
ing something that might offend
him, l asked him in a nice
friendly way if he wanted to
fight so bad why wasn't he down
at the West Wall? 1 pointed out
there was quite a number of fel-
lows waiting down there that
spoke better English than we did,
would be glad to accommodate
him, any time he felt like fight
ing.
Il said maybe the reason a big,
well-fed fellow like him wasn't
in uniform was because he might
have influential political friends.
said maybe he was some po-
Itical big-shot himself, and I
could quite understand why he
stayed back here in Berlin to start
street brawls, instead of going
way off there to the West Wall
where he might get hurt. I don't
think he really was a political
big shot, but when you are in a
tight place, there is nothing like
little tactful flattery.
I'm spite of the nice way I was
handling him no telling how it
would have ended if another
Heinie hadn't got up and come
