why labor should get an advant-
age.
PROGRESS MADE
The President said great prog
ress had been made since spring
in slowing up the rise in living
costs to fraction of one per
cent. But something m ore
would have 10 be done to make
this permanent, he said, adding
that as soon as price ceilings are
raised the whole program gets
on dangerous ground.
AT one point in his lengthy
discussion, Mr.. Roosevelt said
the country was being a bit
whipsawed between two groups
- labor and agriculture - when
as a matter of fact they we're
not two separate groups but all
of them were Americans. All
had to share in the burdens
alike, he repeated.
He agreed it was possible for
food costs TO rise 80 per cent in
a year, as Henderson said they
might without proper controls,
and asserted the objective of his
plan would be to make that less
likely.
Reminded by a reporter that
agriculture secretary Wickard
had recently advocated repeal
of legislation permitting farm
prices to rise to 10 per cent of
parity before ceilings were in
voked, MIR. Roosevelt said that
gave him an idea for a story.
He then entered upon a long
discussion of the close ties be-
tween farm and labor interests.
AS for the average farm fam
lily, he said, 1t was not proper

goods, clothing, and household
needs. in the store, and when

farm family is very deeply af-
fected - almost as much as the
city family.
He went on to say that If
farmers wives had the facts
about the cost of living explain
ed to them they would appreci-
ate conditions and 60 along with
efforts to stabilize living costs.

BY ID. HAROLD OLIVER

WASHINGTON. Aug. IS Up
"A new plan to keep down liv-
ing costs by stabilizirg both
wages and farm prices is being
readied by President Roosevelt
for presentation to the country
around Labor Day-September
7.
In making this announcement
at a press conference yesterday,
the chief executive said both la
Dor and agriculture must make
sacrifices - tough sacrifices, he
emphasized - and that restric-
tons could not be placed on one
without being imposed on the
other.
He called the labor leaders,
Philip Murray, Clio chief, and
William Green. AFL president,
to the White House today to 60
over the cost of living situation,
as he already has done with
farm and other groups.
NO DECISION REACHED
No final decision has been
reached, but the President said
he hoped to have something
ready to announce to the coun-
try in a radio speech, and SIM
ultaneously in a message to con-
gress, before, on, or after Labor
Day.
There was some chance that
the announcement might come
before the end of this month,
provided the President has made
up his mind then.
Whether new lie 81 a o n
would be sought was profile
NAUTICAL, as Mr.. Roosevelt said
time was short and spiraling of
costs may get out of hand in 80
days. Administration leaders be-
gan calling absent congressman
back to Washington, however, to
receive his message.
ONLY PART OF SPEECH
The cost of living will be only
part of the speech he will make,
the President said, indicating he
probably would touch on the
war in general. Nonetheless,
the anti-inflation problem was
expected to highlight the address
in view of his assertion that this
was a very serious matter af-
fecting lives as we'll as the prog
ress of the war.
Speaking more plainly about
wage and farm price stabiliza-
ton than at any time since his
seven-point price control mes
sage to congress on April 81,
the President told his press con-
ference that wages could not be
stabilized without stabilizing
wages.
Generally speaking, he said,
wages should be stabilized at es-
sentially present levels. But he
qualified this by saying common
sense should be applied. He did
not believe, for example, that
If food prices rose another 30
per cent, as price administrator
Leon Henderson has said they
might, the wage scale should
be kept where it is now. On the
other hand, he added, if food
costs were held down to where
they are now he saw no reason

creasingly America conscious, it is fit
ting that the story of one of the
greatest World War I heroes be hailed
That man is Sergeant Alvin G. York.
whose amazing war feats included the
capture of 1872 Germans single handed,
and who was called 1.-The greatest
civilian soldier of the war" by Cen
eral Pershing. He has recently been
made Major in the U. S. Army.
The story is wildly depicted in
Warner Bros spectacular Sergeant
York." which has been brought back
to Ely by the State Theatre for show
ing again this weekend. The famous
title role is portrayed by the powerful
actor, himself often called typical
American, Gary Cooper.
It was in the Tennessee backhills
where Alvin York was born and bred
to a life of hard toll and small re-
wards. When news of a European
war was first brought to York, he
didn't believe in killing and tried to
get exemption from the army as
conscientious objector.
Nonetheless when Alvin York was
taken into training, and when the
whole import of Americas obligations
dawned on the fellow, that spirit was
awakened that was to eventually lead
to the most spectacular single soldiers
career of the war.
Walter Brennan, Joan Leslie, George
Tobias, Stanley Ridges and many other
film favorites comprise the cast.

total take from these special taxes up
to $10,222,979 this year. Fee owners
are supposed to pay this royalty tax,
but under lease contracts the mine
operators are stuck for them too, on
top of the heavy ad valorem taxes on
mined and unmined ore.
Right here is a queer angle. Ship
ments of ore this year will include
about 100000 tons from old stock
piles, which were taken out of the
ground about IS years ago. That
makes these shipments exempt from
the occupational tax law, which was
passed in 1921. However, the COM
panies have been paying big ad val
orem taxes on these stock piles for
many years, so they are not ahead
anything. With ceiling on ore prices,
any cost increase has to be absorbed
by the mine operators, and that
means less taxable income for the
state to share in. There seems to
be no help for it, unless the legisla-
ture hikes the tax rates again next
winter.
