Move Started to
Publish WPA Salaries

AS a part of this general WPA use
and misuse of millions of dollars,
Rep. Joe Martin of Massachusetts,,
has started a move to find out how
much money is being paid to those
who run WPA. He has introduced
resolution to have the WPA head
quarters here supply the house with
complete list of salaries paid I'M
der WPA. You know, there have
been many charges tossed about
concerning the salaries paid out of
WPA funds-and the lack of work
done for them. In other words, Mr..
Martin wants to know some facts
why only about go cents out of each
WPA dollar ever gets down the line
to the poor devil out of a job and
with wife and children to feed.
This action on the part Of Mr..
Martin seems to link into conten-
tons long made that numerous poll
ticians have placed their pets in
WPA top jobs where, if need be,
they could be quite influential, polit-
ically. Mr.. Martin tried to obtain
the information about Massachu-
sets, but Col. F. C. Harrington,
WPA administrator, refused to make
the facts public. He commended that
disclosure of the salaries would be
Embarrassing to those who receive
them" Mr.. Martin told the house,
however, that federal salaries
should always be a matter open to
the public and he believed there is
no more right to secrecy about WPA
salaries than about the salary of
the President or member of con-
gress.
It will be interesting to see if the
house votes the order to make the
list public, but it will be more inter-
esting to see the amounts of those
pay checks.

BUSINESS:
Distribution

In 1870 about rs per cent of u. S.
workers were producing goods, the
other rs per cent distributing them.
By 1880, reports the Twentieth Cen
tury Fund, production efficiency had
increased SO much that only SO per
cent of U. S. workers were needed
for this phase. Meanwhile distribu-
ton had absorbed the other Is per
cent, accounting for half the jobs.
A possible conclusion: Distribution
may be costing too much. A posi-
BILE rebuttal: Men must eat, and
men kicked out of production by la
boT-saving machinery must turn to
distribution jobs or starve. Though
this raises per item cost to the con-
sumner, every man benefits by a.
higher living standard.
Breaking down sample years
total sales volume, Twentieth Cen
fury Fund found 1925 finished
goods cost $66, 900, 100000. Of this,
$39, 000, 0O0, 600 (or SO cents on the
dollar) went to distribution. This
meant that production, which en-
ploys half the man power, gets less
than half the revenue. OF the total
1929 distribution cost, $13, 1000, 0O0, 900
went to retail distribution, $7,000,-
600, 600 to wholesalers, $4,000, 1000, 900
to transportation, another $4,000
900, 900 to manufacturers distribu-
ton costs. 4e

Using, which Contrary to popular
misconception) cost less than

way by giving consumers better

TAxATION:
Rehash

No. surprise Of this seasons
economy minded congress is that
the senate should vote $1,218, $3.50, 1000
for farm purposes. To the White
House-not economy minded-this
was also surprise, SO much that
administration pressure will proba-
bly, make congress "buy" its farm
appropriation by sitting all summer
to figure out new taxes. Reason:
The President charges congress
broke its promise not to vote any
special appropriations without pro-
viding new taxes to meet the cost.
Last years parity payments of $2l2,-
600, 1000 compared with the senate's
current $225, 900 ,0O0) were voted UNI
der similar circumstances and left
a big hole in Mr.. Roosevelt's budget.
Capitol Hills two major tax fig
ures are Mississippi's Sen. Pat Har-
rison, chairman of the upper house
finance committee, and North Caro-
lina's Rep. Robert Doughton, whose
ways and means committee must
originate all tax legislation. Gen.
orally speaking they agree with the
President on one fundamental: That
levies on low incomes shall not be
raised. They therefore agree also
that any tax revision this session
must be merely a rehash of present
upper-bracket levies. Less mutual
is another White House principle,
that government income must not
be lowered. But congress, having
invited deficit with its farm bill, has
little choice. Revenue can hardly
be lowered now.
With several weeks debate still
ahead if tax revision comes this ses-
sion Git should, because corporate
taxes yielding 1900, 100000 expire
next December) some solution like
this is possible: Abandonment of the
undistributed profits tax and reten-
ton of capital stock and excess prof
its levies; creation of a fiat IS per
cent corporate levy instead of one
varying, as at present, from 1871 to
10 per cent; lower rates for corpora
tions making $25, 900 or less. Pro-
ponents expect the rehash would
touch business for $4,000, 1000 year
more than at present-not much in
actual cost but a lot in principle
when next years election is consid-
cred. II Qs...s

NAVY:
Beef Ste,p

Fresh Argentine beef is barred
from the U. S. by sanitary regula-
tons, which is one major reason
why Argentina disrupted the Pan
American conference at Lima last
December. But canned beef CIVIL
ly'') is not barred. President Roose-
welt made news recently by asking
congress to permit the navy to buy
it's canned beef from Argentina at
is cents a pound, 8 cents less than
American beef. Moreover, he said,
the Argentine product is better.
At Buenos Aires, Argentine For
eign Minister Jose Cantilo thought
Mr.. Roosevelt's taste for South
American beef was ga fine gesture
which may become an important
precedent in friendly relations be-
tween the two countries" But at
Washington a congress tremendous
ly conscious of the farm vote thought
otherwise. Discovering a cause
celebre, Illinois Rep. Leo Allen
raised visions of congressman
smaclsing their lips over beef-tast-
ing contest. Said he: "Many of us
believe American beef has no SUI
perior. For that reason am offer
ing resolution for a committee of
five to investigate and determine
whether Argentine beef is better"

ject. Picture it for yourself; If you
were a writer and had to have sto-
ries for your next edition and you
found the mayor of great city will
ing to talk. Mayor LaGuardia will
talk, a-plenty! Let there be no mis-
understanding about that.
LaGuardia's Statement
Politically Expedient
Surely, then, a casual reader can
understand why the comparative
statements Of mayors of two great
cities had the effect on me that I
have attempted to report. One of
them giving consideration to the fu-
ture of the nation as a whole, a
statesmanlike examination of par
amount policy; the other apparently
thinking only Of protecting the po-
itical hide of himself.
So, say that Mayor Hoan's testi-
mony was almost sensational, while
Mayor LaGuardia was singing the
same old refrain of "gimme, gin-
me-" And ] believe thoroughly that
the words of the Milwaukee mayor
will sharpen the wits and stir the
courage Of those men and women in
congress who are seeking an honest
solution for the relief problem that
is now scarcely less repulsive than
a fostering sore.
1t was quite by coincidence of
course that Mayor Hoan's observa-
tons should have come about the
time that house subcommittee
should have unearthed some evil
dence concerning uses of WPA mon
ey that actually stinks. I do not
know about the truth of the evil
dence, but it is matter of official
record now.
A subcommittee investigator pre-
scented statements to the effect that
WPA money was used to build lakes
in Tennessee without reference to
the need for recreational facilities
considered on any statewide or COM
munity basis" The statements were
attributed to a member of the Ten
nessee fish and game commission,
and the Investigators conclusions
were that the money had been di-
verted in this manner in order to
increase the value of real estate held
by several politicians.
The investigator and his sources
of information named ex-senator
George L. Berry and Gov. Prentice
Cooper, of Tennessee, as holders of
land which benefited by the WPA-
built lakes. This is the same Sena-
tor Berry who sued the Tennessee
Valley Authority for a million dol
lars or so on account of damage
claimed to have been done by con-
struction of one or more of the IVA
dams. The then member of the
United States senate charged that
some of his marble quarries were
under SO feet of water as a result
of IVA dams.

Republican when he came in, but he
wandered around into three or four
different political parties and seems
now to be among the bell wethers
OF the American labor party. Any
way, the New York mayor is a great
little testifyer in favor getting all Of
the money for New York city that
IS possible-so long as it comes from
the federal treasury.
Mayor LaGuardia is great IA
vorite among many news CORE
spondents in Washington. He is what
is called "good copy" That is to
say, he always is ready with COM
ment on-well, on about any SUBJ
ject. Picture it for yourself; if you
were writer and had to have sto-
ries for your next edition and you
found the mayor of a great city will
ing to talk. Mayor LaGuardia will
talk, a-plenty! Let there be no mis-
understanding about that.
