Behind The Scenes In
Washington

Tense tax bill is only a starter. I'm
less both the war and the war
scare end very soon - which no
body here expects - something
ever so much more drastic will
get put together.
When that starts to happen -
and you can expect it early next
session - there will be renewed
agitation for two measures which
would be highly unwelcome to
most of the business community.
These are:
l - A sharp excess profits tax.
q An amendment to prevent
the further issuance of tax ex-
empt bonds.
Right at this moment nobody
much is talking for either of these
propositions except Senator Josh
Lee of Oklahoma, who is some
thing like a voice crying in the
wilderness; furthermore, to date
his talking has not converted any
great number of his colleagues.
The thing to remember, how
ever, is that Senator Lees ideas
along this line are a great deal
like the ideas of such close-to-
the-vest brain trusters as Jerome
Frank, Leon Henderson, ct al. BY
the next session, therefore, he just
might have some hefty allies.
LEE WOULD KNOCK
OFF BIG PROFITS
Senator Lees big complaint is
that we are right back where we
were before the last war as far
as the tax structure goes. The
last war, he says, made a lot OF
millionaires and also a lot of poor
people get stuck with Liberty
Bonds on which they took losses,
and he wants a change.
He proposes to knock off some
of the profits with the excess prof.
it's bill which has been slumber-
ing in committee ever since so.
odd senators sponsored it, and
then forgot it, a year ago. He'd
start on the bond situation by re-
moving the tax-exempt feature on
all wartime issues.
That would just begin it. Hall
of the incentive to draw capita!
into war bonds would vanish il
they weren't tax exempt. Raising
interest rates to make up for that
lost incentive could go only about
so far; what would have to come
after that, in Senator Lees opin-
ion, is a draft on capital. And
he's ready with a bill which would
do just that.
WOULD FINANCE WAR
OUT OF SAVINGS
Under Lees bill, the government
would make an inventory of every
citizens property, both real and
personal, at the same time it com.
piled it's lists for selective service
Citizens would be classed in diff.
ferent property level groupings
much as the income tax law class
es them in income groupings.
| Bonds would be issued to finance
the war - and the amount which
persons in each class would have
to buy would be laid down by the
Treasury.
The bonds would pay probably
one per cent interest, and the
money raised by the excess profits
tax would be used to retire them.
"You can't finance the war out
of income" says Senator Lee.
Unless we change u whole
economy, we've got to leave the
profit-incentive in there. But if you
can't finance it out of income.
you'v- got to do it out of savings.
Think this is a fair, workable
way tc do it.
eff we should try to finance a
war the way we did last time,
we'd find it much harder to sell
bonds"

and whether one should take syn
thetic Vitamin B."
Answer -"Sciatica'' is the name
for any pain along the course of
the sciatic nerve and may be a
form of neuritis. In cases of pain
full neuritis, Vitamin B has not
proved to be of much value. Scia-
tica is frequently due to posture,
flat feet, dislocation of the sacro-
lilac joint and other conditions in
the pelvis or along the spine, where
the nerve emerges from the spinal
cord. 4

FARLEY PLANS A SHOWDOWN
WASHINGTON.-It is no longer
any secret that Jim Farley is def
nitely lined up with the anti-third
termers. But not generally known
is the fact that Jim actually plans
a showdown with Roosevelt regard
ing the Presidents own plans, and
this showdown will come before the
Democratic convention at Chicago.
Jim made up his mind to do this
about the same time he issued his
Massachusetts, bombshe1 labeled,
my name will be presented to the
national convention"
Democratic insiders had known
for some time that Farley was cold
to the idea of the President running
again, but he sidestepped a positive
commitment. He always declared
that he was confident the President
had no intention to seek reelection.
In the past month, with Roosevelt
states being entered in various
states under obvious White House
guidance, Farley's aloofness has

PLANES FOR THE ALLIES

PLANES FOR THE ALLIES
THE policy of the President to
l permit the allies to buy our
most advanced type Of military and
naval planes is 100 per cent correct.
A principal problem in our prep
aration for defense is productive
capacity. Time is ''of the essence
in war. Napoleon used to say: IT
may lose a battle but I will never
lose a minute-and hence few
wars" We have the best industrial
plant in the world. But in our mod
ern system of manufacture, the best
plant in the world can't get into
production without first going
through a slow and complicated ef-
fort called "tooling-up."
This means the arrangement of
buildings and machine tools to pro-
vide continuous flow from one
operation to another without back
tracking or lost motion. It means
the making of the working points
Of those tools to insure absolute

Washington monument has been
considered but ruled out; also the
old towers of the naval radio station
NAA, which are to be torn down at
Arlington. 1t was thought that they
might be saved for television. No
sites have been selected, according
to Alfred Morton, vice president Of
National Broadcasting company in
charge Of television.
Television programs are now on
the air daily in Chicago from the
experimental station Of the Zenith
Radio corporation.

Plans for extension Of television
outside the New York area were
revealed when the National Broad
casting company announced that APP
plications have been filed with the
FEC to build tele-stations at three
cities, Philadelphia, Washington and
Chicago.
These cities will be connected
with New York by centimeter-wave
relay transmitters. The engineers
hope to get Philadelphia and WASH

station is not expected to be in
operation until sometime later in
1914.
Since teievision aerials must be

scouts have begun preliminary work
in looking over various sites. The

hardened to out-and-out hostility.
From being on the fence he has
slid over definitely to the anti-third
term group.
Not only will Jim aggressively
fight a third term, but he is pre-
pared to denounce it publicly. How
ever, he will not talk out until he
has had a showdown with Roosevelt,
at which time he will insist on a
categoric Eyes" or mo" answer.
If there is no reply. or an un-
satisfactory one, then Jim is pre-
pared to express his opposition pub
licly. He is aware that such state
ment would play into the hands of
the G. o. P. and that it may mean
finale for him politically, but he
feels that he owes it to the Demo-
cratic party and the country frankly
to state his views.
Farley's opening gun in his plan to
smoke out Roosevelt. From now
on, regardless of their close ties
and their still warm personal friend
ship Gas far as Farley is concerned),
they are two rival candidates.
Note-Farley was absolutely Sill
cere when he declared that he was
Sin no combination with anyone"
Recent reports that he was secretly
allied with Garner are unfounded.
Privately Jim thinks Garner is get
ting nowhere fast. His own person
al ticket is Hull and Farley.
Borah Statue.
The state of Idaho plans to en-
shrine the memory of its late great
Sen. William E. Borah under the
lofty dome of the national Capitol,
where he served for more than 80
years.
The state will fill its quota of
statues in Statuary hall (the origi-
nal chamber of the house of repre-
sentatives, where each state is al
lowed to place two statues). The
sculptor has not yet been chosen.
Borah will be the second senator
elected by Idaho for this honor. Its
other statue is that of Sen. George
L. Shoup, a pioneer who was the
first governor of Idaho when the ter
ritory was admitted to statehood in
July, 1890. The Shoup statue is the
tallest in Statuary hall, standing ID
feet.
Note-Mrs. Borah, accompanied
BY one Of her sisters, soon will sail
for Hawaii for a rest. Her plans
after returning are indefinite.
Farm-Diplomat Wallace.
Following publication Of a poll
showing increased farm support for
Henry Wallace, a newsman asked
him: "Does this have any effect on
your personal political ambitions.
Mr.. Secretary"
Wallace evaded: Il noticed the
poll indicated Pennsylvania was 81
per cent Republican,
"Mr. Secretary" persisted the
newsman, did you hear my ques-
toni"
"No," said WaIlace, grinning.
Then he added, I'm trying to give
you something II real interest"

Once the original fOOfIHg IS done
fetUer experts are needed"
uniformity in all the thousands of
separate parts that go into the
assembly Of any such complex and
wonderful thing as a modern war
plane.
The scarcity, due to the depres-
sion, of sufficiently skilled pattern
and tool-makers is one of the great
"bottle-necks" retarding production.
. Once the original tooling is done
fewer of those experts are needed.
Everybody who is old enough will
remember that preparation to build
the radically different successor to
the old Model T tin Lizzie, para
lyzed the production of even the
great Ford plants for the better part
of two years. II is believed in the
motor industry that single last
minute change in arrangement and
design cost the Ford company mil
lions of dollars and months of time.
When this great preparation work
is done, increase in speed and re-
duction in cost are very great.
To put the American airplane in
dustry on this kind of mass produc-
ton basis would give US something
that hasn't existed and, under con-
sentative plans for our own equip
ment, might never have been COM
pletely attained. But a billion dol
lars worth of allies business coupled
with our own requirements on basic
designs identical with our own, will
do exactly that. This result of CIV
ing the allies our most advanced
designs is the most fortunate thing
that could happen to US from the
angle of our own defense.
TAX ON MACHINES
Senator O'Mahoney's proposal to
tax machines has had a panning
from every editorial that I read
and ! have to read a good many.
One recurring note is that Joe halls
from the great open spaces of
Wyoming, which hints that he can't
know anything about machinery. I
happen to hail from the great open
spaces of Oklahoma, but that isn't
going to prevent me from horning
in on this argument.

bill. In the first place, although I
have studied it, don't understand
it. I have dim idea that it taxes
the producer who makes more than
average use of machines and from

dies the producer who uses less
than the average machine power
and hence employs more man

G. E. CARR APPROACHED BY
ST. BERNARD BOARD

Logan paper will be read with much
interest locally:
George E. Carr, superintendent
of Logan public schools, revealed
Monday that he had been approach

the superintendency of schools at
ST. Bernard, suburb of Cincinnati.
Carr, who is under contract to the
Logan board of education, said that
after cursory investigation of the
proposals, he had declined to meet
with the st. Bernard board. st.
Bernard is the second wealthiest
school district in the state and is
the site of the big Proctor and Gam

satisfactory"
This offer was entirely unsolicited

since he left here, about 10 years
ago, and is recognized as one of the
best school men in the state.
