NEW YORK. July 1.-THE
brilliant training career Of Sum
my Jim Fitzslmmons Is filed
with what q fiction writer might
call the romance Of the turf.
For more than 10 years. Mr..
Fitz has been associated with
horse racing. Many years ago.
someone called him "The Sage
Of Sheepshead Bay" and Il
wasn't by accident.
His parents owned q farm In
the Sheepshead Bay section Of
Brooklyn, where he was born
July %. 1874. That was nearly
Ia year before Aristides won the
fjrst Kentucky Derby.
When he was s. the farm,
plus additional land. was pur-
chased for the Sheepshead Bay
track. run BY the Coney Island
Jockey Club. So, young Jim got
TO know horses at q tender age.
He began working around the
barns when he was IL.
Llkens Horses 10 Children
Sunny Jim has been training
high class winners longer than
any man now living. His horses
have won most Of the major
Eastern. Midwestern and Flor
ida stakes. Three Kentucky
Derby winners. four Preakness
winners. six Belmont stakes
winners were saddled by Mr..
Fitz.
The secret OF. raising horses
and children Is the same, he
says.
Love 'em q lot. but don't let
EN- get away with anything"
He doesn't believe in sparing
the rod. but uses 1t sparingly.
There are. he says. no really
bad horses or children, only
victims Of sloppy training.
"Once a youngster learns to
trust you. he'll take punishment
from you and profit by the ex-
perience.
AS a jockey, Sunny Jim had
his first mount August II, 1889.
at Brighton Beach. He rode his
first winner. Crispin, at Glouces-
ter. N. j., September Is. 1890.
Il was winning from here to
that barn over there" the
white haired octogenarian re-
called. But suddenly / got an
xious and started to whip. I
whipped and I guess I won by
a sixteenth Of a mile. ! was the
one who ought to have been
whipped"
No SteepIechase for Him
He laughingly recalled his
first trip to Pimlico in 1892.
II was getting kind Of big.
but still riding races and I went
down to Baltimore on a vaca-
ton. Someone invited me to
ride in a steeplechase, but I
told them ! wasn't crazy
yet. The Jockey who took the
mount cleared the first Jump,
but the horse didn't"
The Mr.. Fitz Handicap Is
raced each spring at Pimlico
now in his honor.
When increasing weight cur
tailed his riding career, Mr..
Fitz was about to apply for a
job as a streetcar motorman In
Philadelphia. A friend told him
about a training job. and he
saddled his first winner, Agnes
D.. at Brighton Beach, August
Z, 1900.
Big-name horses he developed
included Gallant Fox, Nashua,
Bold Ruler, Fighting Fox, Vag-
rancy. Granville. Dark Secret,
Shark, Johnstown. King Cole,
Isolator, Apache, Dice. Faireno
and Diavolo.

Most if not all the things already
mentioned as proper functions of
government can quite easily be shown
to be necessary and affordable. But
this is not all. We can also show
rather easily that we can't afford
not to do them through taxation.
Economists say that progress and
prosperity depend on an expanding
economy. But the economy can't
expand and provide jobs unless the
people can consume what is produced.
We cannot therefore afford to let
$3.50 of the men and 500 of the
women workers in the retail trades
earn less than $4,000 per year.
We cannot afford to allow some 20
million workers to go unprotected by
the federal wage and hour law. To
correct these evils takes government
action and an increased budget. The
federal budget should be increased
rather than decreased.
One million multi-person families
get less than $1,000 annual income
1955).
Two million single person families
received (1955) less than $1,000 an
nually.
Eight and third million or $40 |
of all families in America in 1866 re-
ceived less than $4,000 annually.
1t is pretty well accepted that
1920 of the multi-person families
and $3.50 of the single person fami-
lies live or exist on substandard
wages. 1t is as bad or worse on the
farm. One out of eight gets less
than 81, ZOO. One out of three gets
less than $4,000. We can't afford
these conditions. The remedy re-
quires government action and an
increased budget.

Farm Employers
Please Note

January 81, 1858, is the deadline
for reporting the cash wages paid in
1857 to farm employees, Frank Healy,
district director, Internal Revenue
Service. stated this week.
Farm operators or farm owners
who have paid as much as $3.50 in
cash wages to any farm worker in
their employ during 1857 must file an
employers tax and information re-
turn for such farm employees. They
must also report each farm employee
who worked for them on 20 or more
days during 1857 regardless of the
amount of those wages if they were
figured on a time rather than a piece
rate basis.
For 1857, the social security tax
rate is Az % (2A 20 each for en-
ployer and employee.) This tax ap-
plies to cash wages paid to a farm
worker up to total Of $4,000 in the
year. The tax amount must be entered
on Form 943 employers Annual Tax
Return for Agricultural Employees)
together with the total amount of
cash wages paid to the farm worker.
1t is required that the farm employer
do this and file the return with the
District Director of Internal Revenue
at Helena on or before the due date
mentioned above.
Healy points out that when farm
employee meets the 20-day a year
est the farm employer should count
,nly days for which the employee
works for cash wages figured on a
line basis. However, if the worker
meets this test, the farm employer
must pay social security taxes on all
ash wages paid the employee during
he year whether on a time, piece
work, or other basis.)
Farm employees include household
workers. if they are employed on a
arm operated for profit.

Road Blocks To a Sound
Adequate Tax Program

The statement that the budget
should be increased has been repeated
Why?
In the July-August number of
Business Review, Sumner Slichten
says it may be wise to step up gov
eminent spending. He shows clearly
and convincingly what such an in
crease could do. Leon H. Keyserling,
another economist, says the Federal
Budget should be raised 25@o. This,
he contends, would reduce the per
capita cost and the percentage of the
total product. The economy spree on
social services has cost us 60 billions
of dollars in production. 1t is now
25 billion below full production. Pro-
duction has decreased from an an
nual of u % to 2 u % gain in 1856.
Consumption has grown only u 90.
The hard money policy has cost the
American people 81 billions annually.
