individual income tax normal and
surtax levy in the House bill
ranges from 10 per cent on low

President Roosevelts criticism

ment was found for a SIS, 900

SPENDING TAX ASSAHED

The treasury spending tax,
which was assailed when pre-
sented last week, was TO be con-
sidered. but there was little
prospect of It being approved
George conceded that a majority
of Democratic members oppose en-.
acting ii without delaying the tax
bill for public hearings.
Several types of general sales
tax have been proposed. Treasury
experts advised the committee
that they favored a general re-
tail sales tax, If one is adopted
The treasury, however, opposes a
sales tax.
One group Of committee mem
bers, led by Senator Byrd Cd OF
Virginia. proposed a retail sales
tax of 5 per cent on food and &c
per cent on other sales. Byrd es-
timated that the food tax would
not cost a low income family
more than $50 a year.

Tax Showdown
Near in Senate
Finance Group
General Retail Sales Levy
Believed Likely to Be
Added TO House Bill

International News Service stan Writer
WASHINGTON. Sept. 8.-The
Senate finance committee today
moved toward a showdown on
crucial tax issues with indications
that a general retail sales levy
will be added to the S6.271, 000, 600
House bill.
Chairman George CD OF Geor-
gia. asked the committee to vote
not only 'on the sharp increase in
individual income tax rates made
by the House but to also settle
the related issues of sales tax,
gross income levy and the treas
|ury's spending tax program.
4 MAIN PROPOSALS
Four major proposals are before
the committee:
I. General retail sales tax OF
S per cent on food and clothing
and 10 per cent on other goods,
to raise $4,000. 100000 annually.
2. Treasury spending tax pro-
gram, designed TO raise $500
100000. of which $4.500.000. 900
would be related after the war.
s. Modified gross income tax
of s per cent. with exemption
of 1924, to raise $4,000, 000. 900.
4. Danaher plan of a 10 per
cent sales tax, to be evidenced
by stamps which could be used
in payment of income tax. with
the remainder TO be returned
after the war,

Ontario, Quebec
Face Electric
Power Shortage
'BIaekout' Of Every
NonessenfiaI User
Is Seen Probability

TORONTO, Sept. 8. - Ontario
and Quebec face the prospect Of a
"blackout" in all luxury and non
essential consumption OF electric
power, in order to conserve avail
able supplies for war needs.
A dominion-wide survey has
revealed a shortage of power,
most serious in Ontario and
Quebec, where more than 80 per-
cent of Canada's power resources,
but also the bulk of her industries,
are LOCATED.
First steps in a program of
equitable power distribution now
being worked out by the federal
power controller probably will
take the form of restrictions on
luxury" power. Very soon it Is
expected showcase and ornamental
lighting will drop out of the pic
ture, air heaters in stores and
Offices will 60 on the shelf for the
duration. and street lighting will
be curtailed.
LIMITED SHORTAGE
1t is unlikely the restrictions
will extend beyond Ontario and
Quebec. Authoritative reports
have indicated first restrictions
will be in Southern Ontario, where
curtailment of the pulp and paper
industry is expected.
Informed sources said that it
was expected newsprint produc-
ton of two Thorold. Ont, mills
would be affected by power ration
ing orders after October l, and 1t
was possible some of their orders
might 60 to plants at the head OF
the lakes.
However, a delegation OF labor
and civic representatives from the
Niagara Peninsula received assur-
ance at Ottawa recently that the
industry in Southern Ontario will
be given every consideration. and
any changes there will be made
with a minimum of dislocation.
OCTOBER 1 DEADLINE
The power situation is not likely
to become serious before October
when the power requirement line
begins to climb its annual Decem-
Der peak. These peak power
requirements are considerably
higher than during the rest OF the
year, and are induced by shorter
days, which mean more lighting;
colder weather, which means auxi-
liary electric heating, and similar
seasonal factors.
To meet the unprecedented peak
demands of the coming winter, a
number of expedients have been
suggested, including the moving OF
war industries to other areas, the
cutting down of power shipments
to the United States and the in
stalling of new generators. But
officials of the federal water and
power bureau of the mines and
resources department say the
shortage can only be met by
cutting down on normal use.
A number of representations
made at Ottawa for transfer OF
industry to other parts of the
dominion have gained weight from
the fact that the acute power
shortage does not extend beyond
Ontario and Quebec. Power Off
Gals say, however, that in no dis
trict in Canada are there sufficient
power reserves to warrant any
iarge-scale transfer of industries.

SALES TAX GAINS

The committee also was 10 con-
slider a proposal by Senator Con-
inally Cd of Texas. for an
individual excess profits tax as
we'll as modified combinations of a
sales and Withholding, or pay roll,
tax.
Despite stiff administration OPP
position. sponsors of a sales tax
appeared TO have won support of
a majority of the committee. They
claimed Majority Leader Barkley
as an adherent. Barley has said
he would support a sales tax only
as a last resort.
George. after a conference with
Democratic committee members,
said that a majority appeared to
favor a sales tax and oppose the
,treasury's spending tax program.
George laid before members a
plan for a gross income tax
worked out by congressional tax
experts. The proposal is for a 5
per cent tax, with an exemption
of S624.

order that married men should
not be called in one state before

insure the retention of essential

work on farms, in mines, and in
essential occupations. | urge
that this proposal be placed in
legislation pending in Congress
and have written members Of
Congress requesting that such
action be taken at cnce.'
Il have been working and will
continue to work in conjunction
with national and state head
quarters of the Salective Service
to see that the Montana draft
quota is adjusted to the national
scale and that Montana is not
Disseminated against" he said.
Because of our efforts and the
great number of voluntary en-
listments in the armed forces,
the Montana quotas for Novem.
Der and December show a reduc-
ton of approximately So percent
over the quotas for September,
October. and preceding months.
This means that in so far as
possible the November and De-
cember calls will be for single
men only. and we hope that by
January the national scene will
be such that it will not be neces-
sary to call for some time mar
ried men who were married be-
fore Pearl Harbor or at time f!
when their induction Was not
imminent.
National and State Selective
Service headquarters have been
entirely cooperative in working
out solution to our Montana
problems. We are attempting to
see to it that no married men
are called except those married
when their induction imminent
or after the declaration of war. j
This is impossible in certain
