THE VEGETARIANS have
named their own presidential
candidate. This adds a new in
gredient to the political salad.
The Vegetarians are willing
to try though they know the
presidency is quite a hot potato.

Maybe the new candidate may
prove a lemon. Then, again, he
might be just the berries.
One things sAems certin,
Vegetarian politicians shouldn't
have any truck with pork bar
rel legislation.
Incidentally, there's food for
thought in the fact that the
Vegetarians aren't worrying
the Demos or the COP.
On the other hand to the
Vegetarians the claim of the
old parties is just so much sue
cotash.
Afterthought: 1t would be
funny, wouldn't it, if the Vege-
trian candidate actually man.

Snyder Urges Senate
To Kill House Bill
For Income Tax Cut
Secretary Tells Hearing
Present Rutes Cause
No Excessive Hurdships
BY the Associated Press

Secretary of the Treasury Sny.
der today urged the Senate tc
kill the bill-passed overwhehn-
ingly by the House-to cut in
come taxes from 80 per cent at
the bottom to 1o.5 per cent at
the top.
Mr.. Snyder renewed the Truman
administrations opposition to any
tax cut for at least another IA
months, but suggested that Con-
gress with help from the Treasury
review the whole tax system In
anticipation of later tax reductions.
No Excessive Hardship.
Declaring that general cut now
Is neither necessary nor appropri-
ate" the first witness before the
Senate Finance Committee hearing
on the House-passed bill marshalled
these arguments:
l. Employment is high, national
income is at record peacetime level
and under these favorable economic
conditions present taxes do not i'm
pose an excessive hardship on the
American people"
2. "Inf1ationary pressures have still
not subsidized. So long as
inflationary pressures exist, there is
good economic reason for main
tanning high taxes"
3. The current budgetary situation
calls for the maintenance of existing
taxes. He said there Is no clear
evidence that expenditures in the
next fiscal year can be reduced be-
low the Presidents budget figures Of
$37, SOC, ,o0o, 900.
Debt Retirement urged.
4. 1t would be sound financial
policy to achieve as large a budget
surplus as possible and apply il
against the $25s, 900, ,o0o, 900 public
debt.
s. BY concentrating large reduc-
tion in the individual income tax
alone, later well-balanced tax re-
vision would be made more difficult
"and perhaps impossible"
s. The House bill, he continued
is inequitable and would complicate
the individual income tax.
AS an example of his contention
that the measure Is inequitable
Secretary Snyder said it would
eliminate % per cent of the differ
ence between present taxes and 1899
taxes for married persons with no
dependents and $1,000 net income
but would wipe out SO per cent OF
the tax increase since 1899 for q
man with a $1,000, 900 income.

For Receiving Home Conditions
Case Called Only One Of Number Of Situations
Which Fiscal Overhaul Cun Cure

In letter to Chairman Horan

trict Subcommittee, they said the

They added, however, that the

inadequate municipal services" here
which only complete overhaul of
city finances can cure.
Their letter was in reply to sharp

his investigators. The investigators,
Harold Booch and j. j. Kerr, walked
in during small riot among the
inmates.
