 In addition to Income expectable from existing tax rates, MT, Roose- welt Is represented as considering special national defense taxa ton to raise $500 000,000, Increases In mid- de bracket individual income tax rates, estate taxes and manufac- turers' excise taxes have been sug- gested as a likely source. Another and simpler method would be to tax-the- tax-this Is, impose five or 10 per cent levy on each individuals net tax liability. A person whose in- come tax at existing rates was com puted at $l00 would add Ave or 10 per cent to that sum, making his tax liability $l05 or $ll0.
 Mir. Roosevelt is said to have re- duced the i94l fiscal year fund-re- quests from agriculture and for such relief projects aS the national youth administration, civilian conservation corps and work projects administra- ton. The administration also is anxious to get through the winter without asking for further unem- ployment relief funds for the cur- rent fiscal year which ends June 30, io40.
 Secretary Of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace's vigorous support of Q modified processing tax plan to raise $300,000 900 to help finance next years farm program is attributed by some observers here to MT. Roose- velt's firm insistence that no more than $500,00o,0o0 annually for soil conservation in addition to admin. istrative costs of the departments operation shall be appropriated for farmers without new revenue to cov- CT the cost.
 How seriously talk of presidential election year taxes should be taken Is e matter of speculation and con- troversy here. Some persons are con- v!nced that MT. Roosevelt will ad- dress congress definitely and in- sistently on the subject.

 One of the most veXing problems facing the incoming mayor S that of the appointment of corporation counsel. The office is filled at pres ent by Attorney Timothy s. Sullivan a close associate of MT, Scully Tor many years. If he should be given tho place, 1t would probably mean the dropping Of Attorney Edward MeDonald, now assistant in the ot- flee. MT. Mcdonald Is extremely popular, and failure to reappolnt him might have serious political repercussionS.
 Rumor has it that no choice has yet been made for city ourchasting agent, but presumably the Job will go to Controller Martin J. Sweeney
 Tn the street, sewer, and water department there is question Of whether or not the present superin- tendent, Herbert scott-Smith, will be dropped. There are several cam didates for this, position, which pays e salary of $8,000.
