Ways, Means Committee
Considers New Measure
FDR TO Send Message TO Congress
on Curbs TO Living Costs Rise

we will have to go 10 a sales
tax TO make up the difference"
one influential member said.
A survey showed that most of
the members favored a sales
tax, but there was little agree
ment on its form. Some pre-
ferred manufacturers levy,
to avoid the relatively high cost
of administering a retail tax.
Others favored the latter type
to avoid "pyramiding" of a tax
on manufacturers by the time
the article reached the consum-
er.
7 he treasury department,
which has opposed either form,
nevertheless estimated for the
committee that 5 per cent re-
tail tax on all commodities ex-
cept war, federal and state pur-
chases would yield S2,469, 000,-
600.

WASHINGTON, April 22-tP)
With an anxious eye on the
White House, the ways and
means committee started work
today on a new tax bill which
many House members said likely
would contain some form of gen.
eral sales tax.
President Roosevelt plans to
send a message TO Congress next
week discussing means of re-
tarding the rise in living costs
and, informed sources said, the
necessity of controlling unusual
excess profits in war industries.
Members said that until the
message is received, they would

The Erie Canal had q great deal
10 do with the growth Of the city
OF Buffalo. The canal was finished
tn 1926, and 1t provided an all-water
route from New York to Lake Erie.
The Erie Canal has been deep
ened since then, and has been
made . part Of larger canal system.
Yet 1t does not today stand out rs
80 important as it was at the be-
ginning. It is not deep enough for
the larger ocean vessels OF the
present time.
There were some railways back in
1875, but not . great number. The
canal made . great difference to the
western side Of New York. It turned
Buffalo, at the western end Of the
canal, from . village into . city, by
providing cheap transport for peo-
pie and goods.
An old record tells us that the first
sailing vessel to appear on Lake Erie
vds built and launched near Buffalo.
That was done under the direction
Of La Sale, the famous French ex-
plorer. In the year 1879. The Indians
who saw the vessel must have been
struck with wonder. Perhaps they
were as much excited as when

West led the ten Of hearts at all
tables against the logical final con-
tract OF three no-trump. In most
cases East put up the heart king
and returned his low heart. After
that the defense was limited to two
top hearts and a spade, and each de-
clarer made 10 tricks.
At one table, however, when the
ten Of hearts was opened, the East
player dropped the five Of hearts in
stead Of the king! This remarkable
play gave the defense a good charce
to defeat the contract. If South
won with the queen, he could not
take nine tricks without tackling
spades. East would take the first
spade trick and return the heart
king, and West could overtake with
the heart ace. dropping dummy's
Jack, after which he would be in
position to run four more heart
tricks!
But Is 1t happened, the South
player 1t this table dropped the
four Of hearts on the first trick!
Now the defense was helpless. If
West took the heart ace, he would
drop his partners king, setting up
South's queen. and if he led low
heart. East would take the king.
but the West hand would then be
dead.
South should have kept quiet, for
then he could have claimed credit
