Simpler Corporation
Tax Bill 10 Be Drawn
By House Committee
By the Associated Press.

Proud of it's bill to simplify
individual income tax proce-
dures, the House Ways and
Means Committee announced
today it would try to do the same
with corporation tax laws.
That's the next big thing we
ought to get to-" said Chairman
Doughton. He was seconded by
Representative Knutson of Mipne-
sofa, ranking ways and means Re-
publican, thus giving corporation
tax simplification the same bipar-
tisan incentive that brought speedy
action on the individual returns.
Experts estimate that this year
approximately 100000 corporations
will pay $4,000, 100000 in income
and excess profits taxes. The
50,000,000 individual income tax
payers will contribute about $i8,000,-
100000, and other sources are ex-
pected to bring the total 1914 Federal
revenue to approximately $43,000,-
100000.
MFR. Knutson pointed out that,
largely due to the intricacy of the
statutes. many corporations employ
large stats of experts to prepare
Federal tax statements.
He said he believed the corpora
ton tax steamliner should embody
provisions allowing companies which
converted to war production to build
up reserves for reconversion to
peacetime production. Also, he said,
there should be provisions for,
speedy settlement of war contracts.
Committee members today asked
consideration by the House next
Wednesday of the bill to simplify
individual tax returns. Swift enact
ment Of the measure is indicated.
The simplification measure, how
ever, was denounced by Representa-
tive Curtis, Republican, of Nebraska,
who protested to the House yester-
day that the streamliner bill ''vir-
tually abolishes the established prin-
cfple "that contributions to religious,
educational and charitable institu-
tions" are exempt from taxation.
He declared:
'For the Congress to insist that
all taxpayers be taxed the same, re-
gardless Of their contributions, is un-
American and it destroys the rights
of the individual for the alleged
purpose Of simplification."
Mr.. Curtis was the first member of
the House to challenge the simpn-
f1cation bill.
Meanwhile, Chairman George of
the Senate Finance Committee ad-
vocated reduction of the 80 per cent
Federal cabaret tax to Is or 20 per
cent, contending that less revenue
would be obtained by the Govern
ment under the increased levy than
under the old per cent tax.
A bill to cut the tax back to 10
per cent has been offered in the
House by Mr.. Knutson.

Mr.. Nelson said the major pro-

Mr.. Nelson said, adding that while
the actual March output in the
critical programs rose 6 per cent
the required gain was per cent.
Tractors and warships were two
major items which failed to meet

monthly report showed.

R0SEMAN NAMED
TO 0DT POSITION

RALEIGH, Sept. 30.-R-Har-
vey e. Roseman, manager OF the

Of Defense Transportation, has
been made district director OF
ODT with headquarters here, it
was announced today by regional
headquarters in Atlanta.
John G. Galley, regional director
Of ODTs division OF highway
transport, said the change is part
Of the recently announced reorgani-
zation Of ODT in which a number
of district offices throughout the
county will be closed. Certain stra-
tegic offices will be expanded to
handle larger territory.
Galley said certain phases Of its
truck gasoline ration program
would be delegated to the office
Of price administration and the
number of district offices in the
seven southeastern states will be
reduced from "a to II to conform
to OPA district office points.
Galley said the Wilmington dis
trict ODT office would be closed

ing handled by that office will be
delegated to the Raleigh office. In
addition, the Asheville and Win
ston-Salem offices will be closed,

lege.

bage, about $50 acres of onions
and large acreage of turnips.
The growers fertilize their truck
crops with 400 to 500 pounds of 4
4-12-4 or SIS mixture and side
dress with 100 pounds of nitrate of
soda. The fertile soil of the valleys
and the ideal climate make it pos
sible to produce an average yield
of about 200 bushels of snaps an
acre. The growers report h a t
they make from $500 an acre on
up to about $1,000 an acre On their
bean crop.
There are also about 1900 farm
families in the county selling some
milk. The cheese plant here gets
around 41,0OO to $4,000 pounds
day during the summer and the
Coble receiving station at Lansing
gets just about the same amount.
Ashe county folks feel that with
good local market for their milk
and demand for all the late sum-
mer truck crops that they C a n
grow, they are very fortunate.
They believe in being good neigh
bors and not only do they help
out when it comes time to pick
their beans but they are equally
as cooperative in filling the 60 to
IS silos in the county.
Grouse says that this good neigh
Dor policy is like having the equiv
alent of labor camp of from 500
to 600 people. He can call on his
haulers when any emergency ap-
pears and extra labor will be
available the next day. Howard
WEIGH of Grayson has been haul
ing labor from his community ~
two years. He knows who will
work and who will respond when
he calls.
Henry Poe of Warrenville, who
grows probably the largest bean
acreage in the county, having IT'S
acres this season, faced an emer-
gency the other day. His beans
were ready, it was raining almost
every day and he needed pickers.
It took only a brief message to
Howard Welch and the next morn
ing so pickers were delivered to
the field in Towards truck and
ready for work as soon as the dew
dried on the plants.
That night I saw Poe's beans 60

Employers Requested
To LIST Openings
For Part-Time Work

Washington employers We're
warned last night the supply Of
full-tim workers is running far
behind the demand and that If they
want to relieve the manpower
problem they should begin employ

This advice came from Ernest v.
Connolly, the new acting area War
Manpower Commission director,
who reported that employers still
are relying on "the open market"
to get workers instead of helping
themselves by getting two workers
to share what previously was one
workers job.
To illustrate what has happened
to Washington's labor supply, MIR.
