TIED TO TAXATION

Chairman Walter F. George CD
of Georgia commented signifi-
cantly that compulsory savings
cannot be considered separately
from taxation.
Senator Robert A. Taft (R) OF
Ohio, who sponsored the amend
ment calling for the study of COM
pulsory savings, said he inter
preted the move as indicating an
other bill soon after the pending
bill is disposed of. He agreed that
the problem had to be approached
through taxation but said it did
not necessarily involve extensive
changes in the existing tax struc-
ture.
"You probably have no consti-
tutional right to compel people
to save" Taft said. "You must
tax them and then give them
bonds. But there are many ways
of doing IL"

Forced Savings

Of Tax Program
Senate Lays Ground
for Deductions From
Pay; Bonds in Return
By JOHN r. BEAL
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Sept. 15.-The
Senate finance committee laid the
ground work today for a compul-
sorry savings-tax program to follow
closely after enactment Of the
pending tax bill.
After making last minute
changes in the tax bills including
a 5 per cent reduction in the cor
poration surtax, the committee set
a new deadline-December for
the report of a joint committee
created by the bill to study COM
pulsory savings and report TO Con-
gress. 1t originally had fixed jan
uary IL as the date by which the
study was to be completed.

lis expected substantial quantities
of increased production of 100
proof industrial alcohol will be
allocated for production of syn

Iment said.

WHEAT FOR WHEAT

The department added. however
that only wheat Will be supplied
10 professors on the West Coast.
Provision calling for equal
quantities Of corn and wheat is
based on the fact professors have
been consuming increasingly large
proportions of wheat 10 corn since
the beginning of the year, officials
explained. Proportions during the
third quarter averaged IS per cent
wheat and SIS per cent corn, they
said. although in past corn has
been chief grain for such produc-
tion.
The $3.50 arrangement now
offered is believed by agriculture
officials one way to help conserve
feed grain supplies and to utilize
excessive stores of government
owned wheat.

BONDS FOR PAYMENT

He said one way might be
through imposition of 10 per
cent gross income tax, with the
taxpayer getting bonds in return
for what he paid. Another might
be TO impose 25 per cent tax on
income in excess of that received
by a taxpayer during a previous
year-in effect. an excess profits
tax on NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. giving
bonds in return.
Still another method, Taft said,
was the stamp assessment pro-
posal of Senator John A. Danaher
(R) of Connecticut, involving the
purchase of stamps equaling 10
per cent of the amount of every
retail purchase. The stamps. ac-
cumulated in lots of SIS. would be
exchanged for bonds of equal de-
to be redeemed with
out interest after the war.
Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau Jr. said last week
that the 5 per centLvictory tax in
cluded in the revenue bill would
not do the Job and that forced
would be necessary.

NO CHANGE IN REVENUE

The last minute changes in the
tax bill made by the Senate COM
mittee did not greatly affect the
revenue yield. Drafting experts
went 10 work on the bill today to
put il in shape for Senate debate
starting September %. The COM
mittee will meet Monday 10 con-
slider writing 5 per cent overall
profits limitation on war contracts,
10 be offered as a separate amend
ment when the bill reaches the
floor.
Late changes included:
Reduction of the surtax on cor
porations from p per cent as in
the House bill to 16 per cent. That
reduces the combined normal and
surtax rate from as TO 40 per cent,
the "a per cent normal rate being
retained.
Limitation of the postwar credit
for corporations 10 10 per cent of
the excess profits tax they pay,
eliminating the application Of this
eventual rebate to surtaxes paid as
well as TO the excess profits tax.
Restoration of House surtax
rates on individuals, which begin
at 13 per cent on the first dollar
of taxable income and increase
mostly by $1,000 brackets 10 a
top of 50 per cent on income above
S.. 100000 a year. This action re-

Author May Quit
congressman Predict ParmeIee viii Resign SIS. 500
Post as Economist on WaIace's Board
BY GRIFFING BANCROFT
Init News Service star Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March al
Informed congressman predicted
today that Maurice Psrmelee
author of a book on nudism, will
resign his s., 6OO-a-year post as an
economist on Vice President Wal
lace's board OF economic warfare.
The prediction came as lines
were drawn in the House for an
other major battle over the COM
mittee on un-American activities,
which dug up Parmelee's nudist
book and made il public via let
ter TO Wallace from Chairman
Dies CD of Texas.
Disclosure that the Constanti-
nople-born economist had, in 1881,
written "NudiSm in Modern Life. "
which advocated that nudity "be
practiced wherever feasible, in the
home and in the factory" touched
off a storm Of criticism on the
House floor.
While some members rose to
charge the 300-page book con-
tanned passages and pictures which
were "lurid, filthy and obscene,
others retaliated by assailing the
committee for having released the
letter TO the public without an
! investigation"

 When this huge load is ready for mar ket, 1t will find about quarter of the small packers out of business. The in- dustry, say experts, will not be able to handle this heavy load. What are the options? One is to puncture the price ceiling by cent or cent and half a pound. Another is to fix the price of livestock A third is to continue as we are with the raisers deprived of market, wholesalers and retailers losing money, packers forced out of business, and meat scarce for consumers.

The Hartford Times calls attention of Gov. Robert A. Hurley to the fact that the State Liquor Control Commission is mi nus member and it so happens that the present two members of this board are both members of the same political party. If the board is called upon to rule on specific cases doubt is expressed as to whether the courts might not question the legality of the same in view of ab- sence of minority representation. Further than that there is tLe fear, too, that the governor might be criticized for failure to name a Republican to the board, and allowing the two Democratic members to constitute the sole authority over our state liquor regulations. On the other side, of course, is the governors right to say that the position demands first rate appointment and to date he has been unable to secure first-rate appointee among Republicans in Connecticut. Everyone knows he offered the post to Congressman Joseph E. Talbot. The governor would have to go long ways to find as good Republican as the Nau- gatuck man.

An Old Sore

The ultimatum handed the city by the master plumbers of the city brings to a head a problem that has confronted the city for years and years. The question of opening up city streets for repairs to water or sewer pipes or underground wires and conduits has long been controver- sial one in almost every community. There are all sorts of ordinances govern ing the same throughout this country and probably you couldn't get two ex- perts on municipal government to agree on what is the correct solution of the problem.
 Years ago The Democrat contended that the city was too lax in allowing pub lie utilities to open up streets, even right after they might have been newly paved. It took long time to get away from this, but eventually the day arrived when 1t was necessary for all underground work to be completed and in workable condi- tion before a permanent paving would be laid. The state is adamant in this re- Spect and seldom proceeds with paving work where there is possibility of any portion of the roadway later being torn up.
 Personally we think system whereby the city would perform or supervise close ly all excavations in streets would prove most satisfactory. It then would be charged with the duty of seeing that such excavations were properly filled in and covered, such responsibility being such as to insure against any doubt of trou- ble occurring as a result of the digging and filling operations. The city exercises full authority, through the proper de- partments, over our streets, so it is logical that it should carry this to the point of controlling any work done in these streets
