bers would be " of 1 per cent and
en- all others per cent, with no
deduction for cost of goods sold.
The tax would apply to all gainful
activities. While no estimate Of
probable revenue under the gross
income tax Is given, it is apparent
that 1t would be less than under
the original plan.
The amendments s bmitte
would repeal those portions Of the
Social Security Act which provide
for grants to states for old age
pensions; annuity for retired work
ers, and the payroll tax imposed on
employees and employers to pro-
vide the funds for such annuities.
Exempt from the gross income
tax would be national banks, fra
ternal benefit societies, religious,
charitable, scientific and educa-
tional organizations, non-prcfit
hospitals, cooperative associations
and building and loan associations.
1 believe that business would
welcome the repeal of the payroll
tax which has had much to do with
creating unemployment and retard-
ing recovery.
Cheaper and Better
President Roosevelt has directed
the Navy to accept bid on Argen-
tine canned corn beef in the place
Of an American bid because, he
said at press conference last Fri
day. the foreign product was
found to be cheaper and superior
in quality. Senators representing
cattle states have announced their
intention of offering an amend
ment to the Naval Appropriation
bill, which Is now in the Senate,
compelling the use of American
products in the Navy. Why notl
Our government is supported by
taxes raised from Americans. not
| Argentinians. Then, too If the
foreign bid prevails it will further
stimulate foreign buying.
BrOwder Fav0rs Third Term ,
The movement to give Mr.. Roose-
welt a third term gains momentum.
In addressing the mass meeting
Of the Young Communist League
in New York City last Friday even
ing, Earl Browder, General Secre-
tary of the Communist party, stat
ed that there was an increasingly
increasing demand that President
Roosevelt succeed himself and that
the tradition against the third
term must be set aside. Browder
praised Mr.. Roosevelt's leadership
which he said had crystalized mid
die of the road" sentiment among
the people of the United States and
that because of the present "criti-
cal situation abroad" the admin
istration leadership must not be
changed. Browder's pronounce
ment Is probably in line with the
third-term drive of the palace
guards" to secure another term
for Mr.. Roosevelt. Rumor has it
that the palace guards" are out
to force Farley to resign because
he is alleged to have recently said
he favored Secretary of State Hull
for the 1910 Democratic nominal

Several years ago, some wood was

road so feet below the level. This
wood, which according to geolo-
gfists had been covered up by a
glacier over 100000 years ago, was
still sound enough to be identified

Garner, Leader Of Peace Bloc,
CrystaIIized Anti-War Sentiment
Throughout the United States

Washington, D. C.-Vice President
John Nance Garner more than any
other man changed the American at
titude toward the European war.
When Mr.. Garner returned to
Washington for the special session of
Congress on September 2l. there was
a sort of fatalistic feeling that some
how or another sthe United States.
sooner or later would get into war
Travellers returning from Europe
were quoted in Eastern newspapers
as reporting that the most frequent
question asked of Americans in Eng
land and France was How soon will
the United States join us?'
Garner never issues statements TO
the press. therefore his part in Great
ing the new psychology may not be
fully known to the country. But more
than forty senators visited the Vice
President on the first day he was In
Washington.
Here is what he said to them:
''The United States is not going into
this war The people are determined
that we shall not get into it. We IN
elective office have got to quit saying
that we hope this country can stay
out. We have got to start saying We
are going to stay out
He expressed that same feeling at
the White House later in the day
when Democratic and Republican
leaders met with President Roosevelt
He expressed it again and again as
Senators and Representatives called
on him later. And in a few days the
Garner sentiment was being echoed
throughout Washington and it spread
10 the country.
Garner voted for war in 1917. He
believed there was no way to stay
out and he still believes there was nc
way to stay out. He insisted that his
only son go TO war then.

Marquis James, Pulitzer prize-Win-
ming author, in his new book, Mr..

No member of Congress got better
understanding of war than Garner
Not only was he a member OF the
Ways and Means Committee active in
the framing of laws for the four Lib
erty Loans aggregating S18.000,000,-
600 and the S4.5OO,O00,O00 Victory
Loan and the emergency tax bills. but
he was also President Wilson's liaison
man between the White House and
the House of Representatives.
Twice a week he went to the White
House for long private conferences
with President Wilson. The President
sent him to confer with the British.
French and Belgium missions which
came to the United States to discuss
methods of waging the war. Garner
had for many years been member OF
the Foreign Affairs Committee OF the
House of Representatives and stu
dent of foreign relations
In the writing of the new neutrality
law it was he who insisted on every
safeguard to prevent involvement OF
the United States in war
