CONGRESS STEWS tQYER TAX
PROGRAM
Washington, July 1.—As if congress
id not-have enough^to worry about
already, President Roosevelt has given
the boys on Capitol Hill something
real to think about in his proposal that
they ought to draw pp and enact some
new tax bills ibefore they go home.
Specifically, be proposes that, in ad
dition to the present .estate taxes,
congress should put a Ux upon inheri
tances ah well, liie estate tax is taken
out before anything goes to the heirs.
It is the president’s idea, in the case
of large estates, to further redistri
bute wealth by taxing the heirs on
whatever they get And, for good
measure, he suggested that it would
be desirable to stick on soifte higher
taxes on the incomes of big corpor
ations. The federal corporation tax
now is ISMr pef cent; the president's
idea is that this might run pp to 16H
per cent on corporate earnings above
some unspecified but large annual
figure.
Many people, are professing
surprised at what they regard
swing toward the left on the part of
Mr. Roosevelt. Anybody who" has stud
ied his political past and r^d his
speeches during the presidential cam
paign, including his inaugural address,
has no real ground for surprise; for
the idea that wealth is concentrate in
a few hands and that the great pools
of wealth ought to be broken up for
the benefit of everybody, is one that
he has frequently and emphaiically
expressed.
Capitol Hill Questions
yp on Capitol Hill the senators and
members of congress are asking three
questions. Can we or should we try to
pass it at this session? What would
be the practical effect ujmn the na
tional income if we did enact such
laws? And, third, but paramount in
the minds of the members of both
houses, what will be the political
effect ?
The strong inclination of all but a
few extremists in congress is to 4«t
the matter lie until the next session,
which will begin in January, 1936. The
boys want to go home, '^e children
are out of school now, and their wives
want to get back to their home towns;
besides, the Washington weather is
getting hotter and hotter. They still
have an awful lot of business to clean
up before adjournment. To work out
anjrthing that will meet the president's
idea of. taxes seemingly will lead to
endless debate and discussion and
maybe keep them here until fall. So,
for that and other reasons, it does not
seem likely that they will do much
on tax. plans except tx> talk about
them.''
The answer to -the second question,
as to what the practical effect of the
new taxes will be, is generally that
they will not go very far in making
up the budget deficit. At'all times the
great bulk of taxation is carried by
the middle class, and this middle class,
the practicaly economists in congress
and administration circles say, would
still continue to carry that load. Very
wealthy men who have accumulated
large fortunes can afford to hire very
ex^rt lawyers to show them how to
distribute their wealth where they
want it to go, (i is pointed out.
Good Political Move
The paramount question in the
minds of everybody in Washington is,
really, as to the political effect of the
president’s propo.sal. That, in the view
of the smartest political observers,
should be very wod for Mr. Roosevelt
and his chances for re-election. In ef
fect, it cuts a good deal of the ground
out from un^er the feet of Huey Long,
the LaFollette Progressives, and oth-.
er radical elements whose slogan is
"soak the rich.’’ These riadical Demo
crats and Progressives ' seised upon
the new proposal, and their threats to
“show up’’ the president as insincere
unless he demanded immediate action,
are believed to^haye influenced him in
his insisterfee upon tacking the new

As a ^ of political strategy, it does
not ^mdke much difference whether
1%^ to carry out the president’s plan
a^ a
adopted at this session or not.
G. O. P. Going Cooaervative ~
It is becoming more dear from day
to day that the cleavage between the
two parties in 1936 will be shah[>Iy de
fined, with the Republican party dis
tinctly on the conservative side. Fol
lowing the action of the “Grass Roots’’
convention in Springfield, Illinois, the
recent meeting of the “Young. Repub
licans” of New York went on record
for a distinctively conservative plat
form. ^
In the meantime, congress has pass
ed the biggest tax bill ever enacted in
the United States, the social security
act, which taxes the payroll of every
employer and the pay envelope of ev
ery wage earner, to provide a fund for
unemployment insurance, and for old
age pensions. Instead of the Townsemi
plan for $200 a month for everybody
over 65, the govemn^ent has embark
ed upoiT an' old age pension plan for
persons over 65 who have po,resources
of their own, begipning at $30 a
month, half to be paid tby the govern
ment and half by the respective states.

Columbia, June 29.—While the close
of South parolina’s fiscal year con-
fix>nted ^state agencies and a number
of epiployees with changes, Chief
Hi^way Commissioner Ben M. Saw
yer was expected in official circles to
continue in office unaffected.
Exercise the executive veto pow
er which eliminated the chief commis
sioner’s $4,000 salary from the appro
priation bill, however, was i expected
to terminate the state service of five
assistant state bank examiners and to
leave the state board of bank control
without funds.
The state game and fish commission
obtained authoritative status Monday
by legislative enactment as a new
fiscal year begins in state affairs.
Chairman Charles 0. Hearon of the
highway commission, said at Spartan
burg that Sawyer would continue in
his capacity of chief commissioner so
far as he knew. —
Rankin, df^ilsissippi, who then rush
ed back to tho Capitol to try to re
build the partyVJines which crumbled
today.
Outwardly, Mr." Rqosevelfa only
comment, through a secH^ry, was -an
expression of hope that tl^ “death-
sentence” bill would win on ^ final
vote tomorrow. At that time a nikition
will be made. \Jo substitute the senate
abolition bill for the house regulatory
plan and a roll call will be taken as
was not the case today.
But despite Rankin’s "confidence”
of ultimate victory and intimation that
Mr. Roosevelt may issue a statement
seeking to rally his shattered, forces,
leaders looked for little change in the
line-up. They estinuted that "putting
the heat” for three weeks added

ing the "death sentence.”

bying hurled a^nst both the White
House and utilityXmterests, and open
warnings that D^ocrats crossing
President Roosevelt’s^ishes wouid^
called to account at thVpoIls.
The fight was not ow for either
winners or losers. The utuity bill, af
ter a final ballot probably\omorrow,
must go to conference with the senate.
The issue there will be whether the
senate and Roosevelt-approved provis
ions to abolish all “unnecessary” hold
ing companies by 1942 should stand—
it was this provision the houM defeat-

Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon
tana, who will head the senate conferr
ees, said after the house vote that the
measure would be brought into line
with Mr. Roosevelt’s wishes or “dead
locked.” The White House had no im
mediate comment.
The floor and galleries were tense
when the voting was reached today^
