Congress, Treasury
Begin Drafting New
Revenue Measure
Community Property
And Insurance Levies
To Be Redefined

By the Associated rress.
Less than 48 hours after President
Roosevelt signed the record $685.
100000 tax bill legislative leaders
started work today on another new
revenue measure.
The Chief Executive signed the
biggest history tax bill at his
Hyde Park home Saturday. His
final pen stroke meant much higher
taxes on 1941 incomes-both per-
sonal and corporative-and it put
on the law books, effective October
/, a lot Of new or increased excise
levies, applying to a legion Of things
from liquor to light bulbs.
But Treasury and congressional
experts did not decide to mark time;
they went to work Immediately on
new revenue measure. --
Chairman George of the Senate
Finance Committee said today the
new legislation would be of minor
proportions compared with the bill
just enacted and probably would
raise only 5000 ,000, 900 to $3.50 900 900.
Insurance Taxation.
Most of that expected revenue,
he added, would come from a re-
definition of taxes on insurance
companies and from some change
in the present community property
system.
Senator George said mutual in
surance companies now escape many
taxes levied on stock companies.
After a fight by Senator Connally,
Democrat, of Texas, a member Of
the Finance Committee, the Sem
ate refused to incorporate in the
new tax measure provision which
would have prevented husbands and
wives in the eight community prop
erty States from dividing income
in filing their returns.
Such division-now permitted in
Louisiana, Texas, Arizona, New
Mexico, Nevada, California, Idaho
and Washington-usually operates
to lower the tax liability on joint
incomes totaling more than S3,500.
Senator George told reporters that
an effort would be made to knock
out the community property income
system of filing returns. Congress
sional experts estimated that $780,
100000 would be added to Federal
revenue if the system was elimi-
mated.
On the other hand, there was talk
of requiring all husbands and wives
to file joint income tax returns.
This proposal, recommended by the
House Ways and Means Committee
during consideration of the recently
enacted bill but rejected by the
House, is estimated to yield close to
$500 100000 year.
Would Increase Payments.
Under that plan, a man with a
$1,000 income and his wife with
$4,000 income would have to pay
taxes on $8,000-taxes which would
be substantially higher than if they
each filed separate returns on their
individual income.
Senator Connally told reporters he
would favor the joint return system
If there was a choice between that
and elimination of the existing COM
munity property system.
"If it is sound to disregard real
legal ownership of income, as pro-
vided under the laws of community
property States" he added, then 1t
is sound to require a single return
from all husbands and wives in the
rich States"

BY the Associated Press.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex, Sept.
22.-Continued transforms were in
prospect for New Mexico today after
mountain cloudbursts snapped Al
buquerque's natural gas supply and
inundated two widely separated
cities over the week end.
Gas gradually was being restored
to hospital and business firms, but
most of the 10000 residents of New
Mexico's biggest city continued to
forego hot meals and baths-sus-
pended suddenly late Saturday when
washout shattered Albuquerque's
main pipeline in the Lava Badlands
northwest.
District Weather Bureau officials
forecast more heavy rainfall along
the eastern slopes of the mountain
ranges which parallel the Rio
Grande-grim news for Carlsbad
and Las Cruces.
Carlsbad, Mecca of tourists visit
ing its nearby famous caverns,
counted IL residents of its working
class district as missing after high
water swept down arroyos and can
yons in a repetition of the flood
disaster last spring OF nearly 1000
who temporarily left their homes,
all but some 100 had returned late
last night.
Streets and low-lying residential
sections of Las Cruces likewise were
flooded when mountain downpours
sent high water surging into the
city. Five families were reported to
have fled their homes late last
night.
Traffic into both cities moved
along today A quickly built detour
around a washed out bridge opened
U. S. highway 81, linking Carlsbad
with El Paso, Tex, last night. Mo-
torists on U. S. highway 80, Southern
transcontinental route, were slowed
down but not stopped by the Las
Cruces flood.
Meanwhile, Albuquerque house
wives resorted to electrically cooked
meals or served cold lunches. Many
restaurants were affected. 1t was

KeIIand Says New Deal
Seeks 10 Destroy Labor
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. a.
Clarence Budington Kelland, author
and Republican national committee
man, today coupled a charge that
the national administration Is out
to destroy business and organized
labor with a plea that the Re-
publican party become a rescue
party"
In an address before a meeting
Of the Ohio Federation Of Repub-
lican Women's Organizations, Mr..
Kelland declared:
There are necessary steps in the
setting up of that sort Of planned
economy which the New Deal is
foisting upon us. First comes the
destruction of small business. That
Is well under way. Next comes the
destruction Of big business. The
machinery is being constructed to
accomplish that. But the third, per-
haps the most necessary step of all,
is the destruction of organized labor.
"A totalitarian form of govern
ment dares not tolerate organized
labor. - A planned economy must
dominate labor, . = it must exercise
over labor more tyrannical control
than it does over capital.
Therefore, charge that the third
victim OF the New Deal must and
will be organized labor"
