with jobs-and the way to get on
that road is production.
Just as the remedy for the ever
increasing national debt is jobs. so
the way to make those jobs is to set
production in motion, to produce.
What makes a job? The New
Deal doesn't make jobs. 1t isn't the
New Deal that gets you the truck
that you drive, or pays the rent for
the store you operate.
The truth is-production makes
jobs-business makes jobs-big bus
iness, little business, corporations,
partnerships and small companies
They all make jobs.
If you stop production-or if. as
the New Deal has done, you dis
courage and cut down production
you have created unemployment.
And you have cut the jugular vein
of America
So, the first thing that we are
going to do to put the $500, 900 back
to work Is to encourage increased
production. That will mean that
the present employers will hire more
men.
But. 1t is not enough that the
present employers should hire more
men, although, Of course, that is
very important
What we must have is new enter
prises-about 100000 of them to
take care of our needs.
Scientific Tax Structure
Important to Jobs.
As you will know, it isn't easy to
start q new business nowadays.
Taxes. under the New Deal. are on
such an inefficient and unscientific
basis that they have discouraged
new enterprises. and as q conse-
quence, have prevented recovery. -
So, the second thing we are 60
ing to do to put the $500, 900 men
back to work is to stabilize our tax
structure-put it on a scientific and
efhcient basis-so that men can
predict the future with some rea-
sonable degree of certainty.
And this will be our yardstick on
that: Enterprises that make a profit
must pay tax, tax that is propor-
tionate to the profit made. But the
tax structure will be on a base that
will not discourage new enterprises
from starting. from hiring more
workers. On the contrary, 1t will be
on stabilized basis so that the new
enterprise will feel that 1t can risk
its money in new enterprises to
make jobs.
Now. the New Deal has been frank
about one thing. 1t doesn't like bus
1ness. 1t has tried to put business
in wrong with the American people
and particularly with labor. To
propagandists and apologists for the
New Deal have been successful in
their attempt.
I think that they have fooled
some Of the people with their
bunkum.
Can't Have Half Socialism
And Half Private Enterprise.
But most Of us know that under
our system private enterprise is
merely another name for jobs And
most Of us, except the New Dealers
IN Washington. know that you can't
have q system that is half socialistic
and half private enterprise.
So, the third thing that we are
going to do to put the $500 900 men

Maryland Dual Rate
Income Tax Law Held
Constitutional in Test
Judge Puts Burden
Of Interpretation on
Court Of Appeals
By the Axsociated Press.

By the Associated Press.
/ BALTIMORE, March 1.-Judge
Eugene O'Dunne upheld today the
constitutionality of Maryland's dual
rate income tax law.
In a 3,0O0-word opinion the judge
declared that only the validity, not
the fairness or justice of the act,
was before him.
Whatever the inequalities that
may arise under the law, he held.
the Legislature still has the power to
enact it.
Let the responsibility for its in
depreciation rest where 1t properly
belongs, on the Court Of Appeals of
Maryland" Judge O'Dunne said. IT
hold 1t to be constitutional"
Complainants in the test case said
an immediate appeal to the higher
court is planned.
Attorneys for three taxpayers who
attacked the validity of the clas-
sified tax had termed it discrimina-
tory, arbitrary and even absurd,
while representatives of the State
Law Department had contended it
not only was legal but necessary as
revenue-raiSing measure.
The law imposes 21a per cent
tax on earned income and a tax of
per cent on unearned income.
Judge ODunne pointed out that

the income tax returns were due
March Is and said the law, designed
to raise $500 900, affects nearly
every person in the State Of Mary
land and "goes to the heart Of bai-
ancing the State budget"
There is opportunity between
now and March 49," he said, ito get
q binding decision of the Court Of
Appeals Of Maryland. My decision
is not controlling"
Judge O'Dunne's opinion pointed
out that there were many refer
ences during the hearing to the tax
effect on the poor widow"
There are, of course, some"
Judge O'Dunne said, but against
these there is a long line of rich
widows, merry widows, immortal
lied in song and waltz. There are
bewitching widows, unexplicable
widows, demure and dangerous Wild
ows, gay widows wearing the smile
of triumphant hope over expert
ence ="
There also had been much argu-
ment as to exemptions of bachelors
against married men when livins
with their own wives" Judge
ODunne said. IS" - legislators
are not political economists or their
legislation might be still more un-
just or unreasonable in the estima-
ton Of the farmer, or lawyer, or
Judge"

CONSCRIPTION IS
 WELL EXPLAINED
Corps Area Heads Get In= structiOns; Travel Not
 to Be Held Up

Washington, Sept. A. -(UP)-Se- lective service board officials con- centrated today on teaching hard boiled army men how to make con- scription palatable to the American public.
 They contended that public opin- ion is the mainstay of peacetime conscription program, and hoped to avoid any public be damned" atti- tude.
 Officials who have been formulat- ing draft plans since 1926 now are explaining the conscription law to representative of each of the nine army corps areas. The representa- tives, who will cooperate with state officials in applying the law, con- vened here yesterday.
 New impetus was given the plan to bring 100000 men into training camps by January 1 by President Roosevelt, who issued an executive order making the selective service system an active part of the defense system.
 The order gives the full force of law to regulations covering the reg istration of 16,404,000 men October 16. Later MT. Roosevelt is expected to send to the Senate his nomina- tion of the man who will direct the job.
 Meanwhile, officials believed that starting next year Labor day would be designated as national registra- tion day. It was felt that this date would interfere least with normal business activities while the men who have become q in the previous year are registered for training.
 The selective service law runs for five years. Registration on a week. end holiday-Labor day always falls on the first Monday in September would not necessarily hamper the normal flow of tourist traffic since a person can register at any con- venient registration place.
 This was emphasized in selective service board announcement that persons should continue their plans for travel, on business or pleasure, even if away from home this October 16. The registration cards, it was explained, will be for warded to the proper registration boards.
 Officials also emphasized that the draft army will be drawn in such a way as to insure well trained army reserve years hence, rather than to bring large numbers into the service immediately.

Waterville, Sept. 24.-The Water vile fire department was called to Paffney's farm on Sheffield street yesterday afternoon to extinguish fire which completely destroyed a combination barn and chicken house. Several pieces of fire fight ing equipment were called from Waterbury before the blaze was brought under control.
 The Paffney farm is located at the end of Sheffield street, around very winding route, and 1t was ex. tremely difficult for the large pieces of apparatus to make the winding turns. However. the flames were brought under control rapidly by chemicals, so surrounding sections were not endangered.

DONG DANG TAKEN
 BACK BY FRENCH
Continued from Page D

Meanwhile, it was said that im- mediate events depended upon eff forts of Maj. Gen. Isaaku Nishihara, who headed the Japanese mission which negotiated with the French here for several weeks, to halt the frontier invasion by the Japanese army from South China.
 Nishihara sailed from Haiphong aboard a minesweeuper this morn ing for the island of Hainan where, it was reported, he would attempt to persuade Gen. Ando, commanding the Japanese army in South China to hold up his attack across the frontier.
 En route to Hainan, it was re- proted, 4Iishihara encountered a Japanese invasion fleet of eight transports, a cruiser and three de- stroyers. The fleet was proceeding to Haiphong. Nishihara was report ed to have asked the commander of the Japanese fleet to defer an attempt to land by force at Haip- hong.
 Early this morning 12 Japanese bomberS made a demonStra ton flight over Haiphong but no bombs were dropped. French anti-aircraft guns withheld their fire. It was un- derstood that all French forces had been ordered not to fire on the Jap anese unless the Japanese first fired upon them.
 Before receipt of reports that the Dong Dang blockhouse, had been re- captured frontier dispatches said that the French were reforming their lines. News of the outcome of fighting at Langson was awaited anxiously here.

POLICE PROBING. .STEWART'S CASE.
Victim of Accident Found in Rear of State
 ArmOry

Police today sought to determine whether a man with a broken ankle could walk from Canal street to the armory on Field street.
 Probing the possibility that John Stewart, 35, of 691 South Main street, did not walk to the armory, police kept the case open.
 Stewart was struck by an auto- mobile operated by Anthony Spier- to, 30, of 162 South Elm street, at Leavenworth and Grand streets early Sunday.
 Spierto told police that Stewart demanded to be let out of the car, as he was taking him to St. Mary's hospital, and got off at Grand and Canal streets.
 Stewart was found nine hours la- ter, half-unconscious in the rear of the, armory. He had broken an- kle and had knee injury.

Hopson's organization generally was being pointed out then as an example of what the New Deal sought to remedy Secretary of Interior and Public Works Administrator Harold L.

of state supplies. The appoint ments, Hurley stated, were mot con- sistent" with the spirit of the merit system.
 The appointments attacked by irn- plication were those of Purcell, William H. Donning as state per- sonnel director and Laurence c. Smith as assistant personnel di- rector.
 Purcell was given his state ap- pointment after testifying at great length during the conspiracy trial. Local Republican leaders were un- derstood to have been influential in winning the state post for him. It was alleged that he did not have to take any examinations, and that his appointment was a viola ton of the merit system. Purcell, who had been city auditor during the administration of Mayor Frank Hayes and Controller Daniel J. Leary, testified against them at the trial.
 Smith was executive secretary of the Connecticut Merit System As- sociation at the time the governor appointed him as assistant person. nel director. The appointment was considered an attempt to placate the Merit System, but instead it met disfavor with leaders of the association.
 Hurley's radio address tonight is to be delivered at 6:30.

 Rhythm of the gun fire indicated that as usual, the British planes ar- rived in waves. Their motors were heard plainly in the United Press offices in Unter Den Linden, the heart of the city, end in other wide ly separated areas.
 United Press men saw two large fires burning in the northwest area as they went home after the raid. Thousands of persons were crowd ing to the scene immediately after the "an clear was sounded.
 The British planes dropped dozens of flares to light up the city. One illuminated the United Press build- ing and the vicinity.
 (This vicinity included Adolf Hit ler's chancellery and other govern ment buildings)
 Most of the flares, however, were dropped over the northwestern sec- ton.
 Detonations, apparently of bombs, were heard sporadically dur ing the raid.
