' When the roll was called only 10 Re- / publicans voted against him. Four Republicans and LaFollette, the lone progressive, joined 47 Democrats in voting the other way. / The full house- committee, in its first two-hour session on the bill writ- en by Democratic committeemen, took only one vote. That was to strike out -4he section stipulating that all cor- t>oratjons itiaking a net income of flS^OOO a year or less shall pay a 13 1-4 per cent tax on it and those snaking more than that a 14 1-4 per cent levy. That ‘schedule would, replace the ex isting 13 per cent tax on all corpdr- •tion net income, regkrdless of size. The president .had asked a range of 10 3-4 to 16 3-4 per cent, but even the Democrats had rejected that as un fair. Some conceded the 13 1-4—14 1-4 rate was a ’‘face saver” agreed to in order to. prevent outright “repudi ation” of the president’s recommenda tion. more evil than good. HONOR — One Man When four great universities rush to confer honorary degrees on four successive days to one American citi zen, it is a pretty high tribute to that man’s qualifications. , That is what recently happened to Senator Carter Glaas of Virginia. Yale, Princeton, Wesleyan and Tuft^ universities^all conferred'upon him the degree of doctor 0^ law. That is' going some for a man who starts in life selli^ newspapers and woi’king as a printer’I^ppreiitice. But Sen. Glass, I think, deserves all the honors that can be heaped upon him. I was struck by one expression in his address at Tufts. “Everything new is not right, whether it be a New Deal or anything else.” That is sound and tinjely advice to young people, who are inclined to think that all the an cient truths and principles are out of date. ply only 46 per cent of total expendi tures from the works relief appropri ation, leaving the remaining 65 per. cent to the borrowed. ' On a 45 percent basis, each $959 supplies a year-long job. The $500,- 000,000 which would donated was said by officials to mean construction of more than douUe that amount of projects. With $260,000,000 for spending on low cost housing projects, Ickes will have only $760,000,000^ for the two programs, a reduction of one billion dollars from the. sum originally ex pected. Frequently criticized for the delay in spending PWA funds, Ickes said today' $1,600,000,000 had been spent under the two-jrear-old program and urged states and communities*10. file applications “with all possible speed.” He added that the assignment of most projects costing $26,000 or more to PWA instead of to Harry L. Hop kins’ WPA had brought a “sharp ac celeration” in applications during the past months. A recent sale of securities to the RFC supplied PWA with more than a quarter of a billion dollars for loans on non-Federal project9. Because of the limited supply of funds, however, the PWA interest rate recently was boosted back^to 4 per cent to induce cities to borrow from private sources where possible. who do)sm to a sumptuous dinner wadMe down a hearty meal of all kinds of su^tantial food with six or wven ’glasses , of heavily-sweetened iced tea!

He was running a newspaper in north ern Michigan when he was chairman 6f the Michigan state Republican com mittee more than twenty years ago. Everybody'calls him Colonel, but the highi^ actusll military rank he ever gained was that of major. He served with" Theodore Roosevelt with the Rough Riders in Cuba in the Spanish war, and went overseas with the 153rd artillery biig^e, as major, in 1918. One thing is certain, that if Frank Knox should get the R^ublican nomi nation in 1936 he would put up a strong fight. 'Iliat’s the sort of man he is. •ONCRin TO THE CaRONlCUi QUALITY — Or Priw?
