Special to The Chronicle..
Washington, April SO.—The hottest
of the hot potatoes which congress
has had to handle in the past few
months—^that of defense taxes—has
now been tossed into its lap.
Problems of voting billions for de
fense, unlimited powers to the presi
dent and all-out aid to England, al
though of more world-shaking im
portance, have been comparatively
easy to handle because the people
were clearly behind those measures.
But reaching into the public’s pock-
etbook without being charged with
playing favorites has always beeh
practically impossible. And now con
gress must reach deeper into our
pockets than it has ever reached be
fore.
Probably the final decision on
what those taxes will be will take'
two months or so to work out—and
no matter what is proposed some
groups will be penalized more than
others. The house ways and means
committee, which must make tax
recommendations, has come to no
conclusions yet except that it win!
aim at raising an additional $3,500,-!
000,000 by taxes.
The treasury department- has esti
mated that present taxes will bring
in approximately $9,000,OQO,000 dur
ing the fiscal year beginning July 1.
The committee hopes to comply with
the treasury department’s wishes by*..>
increasing tax income so that it will
pay two-thirds of our $19,000,000,000
estimated expenditures during the
coming fiscal year. The other ‘one-
third will be met by borrowing.
Many suggestions for increased
taxes already have been made, vdiich
include: a 33 per cent increase on all
present taxes,' an increase on the
present lowest tax rate from 4 to 8
per cent and working out a higher
scale for other tax brackets; raising
additional revenue by a general sales
tax; lowering present exemptions;
increasing present taxes on liquor,
tobacco and gasoline; wiping out the
10 per cent credit now allowed for
“earned income”; curbs on present
deductions; and combinations of all
these plans.
It is the opinion of some congress
men that taxes should be increased
enough to bring in more than two-
thirds of the treasury’s expected ob
ligations in order to put defense on
a pay-as-you go basis, but it is not
expected that congress will finally
vote any more taxes than are spe
cifically requested by the treasury
department. It is the general opinion
here, however, that people in the
$2,000 to $10,000 class should plan
to pay at least twice as much tax
next year as they paid this, yape and
that millions who paid no tax this
year will be called upon to pay
something.
Draft Amendments
Amendments to the selective ser
vice act are predicted for the near^
future which will include all or anyj
of these three changes; (1) reducing
the minimum age from 21 to 18,
which would make about 3,500,000
more men eligible; (2) decreasing
the maximum age limit, sqice so
many men over 30 have physical de
fects; (3) continuing the training of
present draftees for longer than the
limit to'25, but no changes ami be
naade until further study has been
conducted of the .400,000 draftees
now in camp and ttie 4,000,00(X which
already have been classing. So far
almost 40 per cent of registrants have
been rejected for physical defects.
A plan for drafting leading,busi
ness executives for ^obs in the de
fense program has been proposed by
Representative Johnson, of Texas, in
industry, he decided to fix prices in
order to prevent price rises In other
lines of business.
There is some question over the
legality of Mr. Henderson’s right to
fix prices and his action is expected
to lead to a court test of the extent
of his authority.
Other business leaders argue that
if price fixing is apt to follow wage
rises, this possibility will stand in the
order to assure the government of i way of quick settlement of other
the nation’s best management brains, { threatened strikes.
His bill would require key men in On the whole, the labor situation

into a club equipped with all modem
facilities.
Recently that vision material4ed.
As one enters the club house he feels
he is entering the lobby of a mod
em. hotel. On one side is a spacious
lounge, on the other a library with
offices for the staff adjoining, a
bridge connecting the two buildings
several js used for the serving of cold drinks
and ice cream.
To the rear is a modem electri
cally-equipped kitchen, which is the
last word in culinary conveniences.
The large closets have a c^xnplete
line of gold and white china, ser
vicing two hundred guests, and ac
companying flat silver.
The old auditorium has been con
verted into an assembly hall with
movable seats. Here two hundred
dinner guests may be entertained.
*900, this hall is us^ for wedcly Sat
urday night dances and various or-
ganizstion meethigs. A piano and
nickelodeon furnish the necessary
musk for numerous social functi^u.
Between the two buihUngs lies th^
patio, softlF lighted at night by bhm
lights. Chairs and tables are placed
around the fountain in the center.
All the club rooms axe equipped
with comfortable leather lovmgini
dudrs and aettees, floor lamps and
smoking stands..
For those who wish to sit out
doors, on the porch, or terrace, are
placed settees and lawn furniture,
and in the yard are tables with gay
umbrellas, where the yoimg peqple
may gather to talk and enjoy them
selves.
Surely, in the 'eompletko of this
building our Goldvills must feel a
ienuhie sense of pride.
