U. 5. Chamber AssaiIs
Rooseye|t's Idea Of
Special Defense Tax
Tightening Of Government
Control Over Purse
Strings Suggested
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Organized business, as represented
by the Chamber Of Commerce Of the
United States, threw cold water to-
day on the idea broached by Presi-
dent Roosevelt Of levying special
taxes to finance emergency defense
outlays.
Asserting that new and additional
taxes, whether for defense or other
purposes, were not the answer to
the country's fiscal problems, the
chamber suggested that Congress
"drastically overhaul its taxing and
spending procedure so as to tighten
up its control of the Governments
purse strings"
Specifically, the organization sug-
gested creation of a central budget
committee which, supplementing the
existing appropriations and revenue
raising committees. would survey the
budget situation as a whole soon
after the President sent his eSti-
mates to Congress.
The Chamber contended liberal
use of the pruning knife" offered
the only practical solution for the
governments financial problems.
Cut Difficult, Says Woodrum.
At the same time, Representative
Woodrum, Democrat, of Virginia, one
Of the leading economy advocates in
the House and an influential men,
ber of its Appropriations Commit
tee, conceded to newsmen that the
considerations of practical politics"
implicit In the coming presidential
campaign would make 1t very din
cult to cut down Federal spending.
Other committee members said
privately that any attempt to effect
substantial reductions in relief or
agricultural appropriations would be
potentially dangerous politically be-
cause these funds affect so many
voters. Both appropriations are
likely targets Of economy efforts,
however, because they have included
such large emergency outlays
Six of the major departmental
supply bills-which accounted for
1885, ,184,247 of the current fiscal
years appropriation total-will be
under cons. deration Of appropria-
tions subcommittee this week.
Tax Enactment Doubted.
Committee members said they
were heartened by recent indications
that the administration hoped to re-
duce the deficit $1,000, ,00O, 900 dur
ing the year starting July l, but
they were not optimistic that the
suggested special tax could be en-
acted to meet the $500, 900 900 in
crease which has been predicted tn
national defense expenditures. Here,
too, some committeeman said, "prac-
tical politics" would make Congress
cool toward such a levy.

Steiwer was born on a 2,000-acre ranch in the Willamette Valley, 12 miles south of Salem, Ore, on Oc- tober 13, 1883, the son of John and Ada May Steiwer. His mother was daughter of Oregons pioneer sec retary of state, Samuel E. May.
 The lore and skill of the out door life to which he was bred never deserted him and his metho- dical tramps when hunting were typical of his steady methods in his profession. A former law part ner, Robert Maguire, once remarked that Steiwer sometimes seemed slow to start but he was, nonetheless, one of the most dangerous. deliber- ate lawyers in a court room because of his uncanny ability to project his mind into all angles of a case.

Republicans Not
Happy About
Jobs Received

Republicans who were active in
helping to elect Governor Harold
Stassen are considerably disgrun-
tied about the jobs which have been
given out, it was learned this week.
Several persons who called them
selves "old line Republicans
pointed out that the Stassen ak hit
a large number of colored persons
who were employed under the
Farmer-Labor administration, but
very few of such vacancies were
filed by colored persons.
Two jobs mentioned in particular
were of a clerical nature. One was
that of Clifford Rucker, who for
merly was in the State Relief set
up, and the other was that of Jo-
seph Albright, who was an ac-
countant in the division of unem-
ployment compensation.
One man who has been active in
behalf of the party for a number of
years described the net results of
the present administrators work
as Every discouraging."
