. E?!?SS8 IMvli ^\VJ By Edward Senators Back Down on "Soaking'* Small Incomes XJOl'.ODY liked the new tax tilll that congress was working on, an?] the senate finance committee had hard work making up its mind as to the ?p. --p., form it would recouiEf mend. Kir?t it altered wf almost cvry provision || of ttie )>iII passed hy the house and changed ^ * JBM it from a "soak the ^18 rich'* measure to ont which would soak R * practically every one. , I This was done l?v low- j ering personal Income tax exemptions and * starting the surtax in* Senator Borah |S,.S J|t |n. stead of $aQ,0?M). The latter feature was proposed hy Senator La Foliette and was adopted to keep him in line. Also. tho Inhorift.tw?n ..-I.t-.l. i?- i Roosevelt had asked for were eliminated. Protests against increasing the taxes on little incomes came immediately, from senators, representatives and the country at large. Senators Borah of Idaho and Norris of Nebraska were among the "independents* who expressed their disapproval. Mr. Borah I especially was vocal in opposition, lie could not see the Justice or the wisdom of the proposition. "Families-with these small Incomes are now paying more than their proportionate share of taxes and at the same time are facing higher prices for food, clothes, fuel and rents," lie said. . So the committee suddenly reversed I itself abruptly, rejected the La Follet to plan by a vote of S to 7. and f??r the time being at least saved the little incomes and perhaps a lot of house members who hope to he re-elected. The bill which the committee voted i to report contains new provisions to compensate for those eliminated from the house bill and the estimated revenue is only $1,000,000 less. This is divided in the senate bill as follows: Graduated corporation incnmp tax f 60,000,000 Corporation excess profits and capital stock taxes 65,000,000 Intercorporate dividend taxes 3?.000,000 Increased estate taxes with related ^ilt taxes 100,000,000 Increased surtaxes on incomes in excess of 11,000,006 5,000,000 Total 1-60,000,000 The bill thus more closely follows the demands of President Roosevelt than the house measure with the exception of inheritance taxes, which the senate committee eliminated. Even this action was olTset by the increase in the existing estate and gift tax rates, expected to bring in $100,000,000. this action by the senate committee probably means the adjournment of congress will be speeded up. The house is cleaning up its "must" legislation, the ways and means committee having voted to report favorably the Guffey coal bill which would set up a "little NBA" for the bituminous Industry. It Is generally believed this measure will not stand a test in the Supreme court, but the administration had demanded its enactment nevertheless. How Social Security Pension System Works WHEN the President's social security bill was finally enacted into law, the senate adopting the conference report already agreed to by tho house, probably many thousands of men and women all over the country began figuring on the pensions they would receive under its terms. It is unlikely that one in a thousand has any clear idea of how the new progiarn's pension system will work, so we reprint here a neat summary prepared by the Associated Press showing its operation as applied to "Bill Jones": "Suppose young Bill is twenty when the law goes into effect and makes an average monthly salary of $100 until he Is sixty-five. lie will get a monthly pen?-'->n. until his death, of $53.75. "In detail, here Is wLat will happen to him: "In the calendar years 1937, 1938. | and 1939 he will pay a salary tax of 1 per cent, or a t>tal of $30 for the three years. In 1940, 1941, 1942 he will pay 1% per cent, or $54. In 1943, 1944, and 1945 the tax will be 2 per cent, or $72 In 1946, 1947, and 1948 the tax will be 2% per cent, or $90. From 1949 to 1981. Inclusive, the tax will be 3 per cent, or a total of $1,188. "Thus, in 45 years, Bill Jones will have paid In $1,440. All the time .<"s employer will have been matching his tax payments, so the total paid to the federal treasury will be $2,880. "At sixty-five Bill Jones can expect The Cherokee Scout, I mw ^W. Pickard "T WofiTi Scut paper Union Iio live perhaps 10 years more. If he does. he will get back $0.-150. "When Kill Jones dies this Is what will happen: "Ilis average annua! salary will be multiplied by the number of years he paid taxes. In other words, if he dies after he has paid taxes for 45 years. $1,200 will be multiplied by 45?giving a total of $51,000. Arbitrarily, the bill stipulates that Kill Jones* estate shall be entitled to ."'j per cent of that, or $1,800?less any amount he received in pensions before he died. "If Jones <lies before he gets back $1,800 In pensions, what he actually received is deducted from $1,800 and the remainder paid to his heirs. If lie lives until he gets back nil of the $1,800 and more, his heirs get nothing. "If Jones should die before he reaches sixty-five, his heirs would be entitled to a payment of 3V* per cent of the total wages on which taxes bad been paid. 1 "For instance. If be died after ten ^ years, lie would have paid taxes on $12,000. His heirs would be entitled to 31 _ per cent of that, or $-120." Senator Clark of Missouri made a llPMVO littlilnnf l.i civil orlrnfn nnnclnn I systems, but gave up when the prom- 1 ise was made that house and senate committees will try during the recess 1 to work out a method of preserving ' such of these as are found worthy. 1 Farmers Organize Council to Protect Their Rights nVMt.MMUS who believe that their r " individual rights are being encroached upon by the administration's > agricultural policies are offered a chance to get together by the organ I- . zution and incorporation in Chicago of tlie Farmers' Independent Council of 1 America. Dan D. Casement, n farmer ; of Manhattan, Kan., is president of | " the body. Stanley F. Morse, South \ Caroline farmer and consulting ngri- ( culturlst. is executive vice president ami Chris .T. Abbott, Nebraska stock- j man and farmer, and Clyde O. Patter- ] son. Illinois Jersey breeder, were in- , corporators. ^ "To me there Is but one issue, whether we are going to have a con- ( stitutionul government or have a dicta- s torial regime," said Charles E. Col- ^ lins, Colorado cattleman and president T of the American National Live Stock association, regional vice president of j the new organization. G. O. P. Defeats New Dealers in Rhode Island Election 1 O KPUBLICAN leaders throughout the country were immensely heartened 4 ?probably too much so?by the result 1 of the by-election in the First district t miiifi*"": ' ?' Rhode Island. 1 Charles F. Risk, Re- 1 jP1 . publican, and deter- 1 jj mined opponent of the 1 a New Deal, defeated 1 r?9 V* ' Antonio Prince, Demo- \ B A crat, by nearly 13,000 1 t votes, capturing the i k m -pun -ffij seat In congress which 1 Francis B. Condon, Democrat, resigned to go on the State Su- 1 preme court. The reChas. F. Risk Versal was so decisive that the Republicans hailed it as a I clear indication that President Roose- 1 velt would be defeated for re-election. Representative B. H. Snell of New York, minority leader, made a speech about It in the house in which he said: "This is the first time the people of any part of the country have had an opportunity to pass on the reckless and extravagant expenditures ot the administration. They have passed upon it in a very decisive manner. The election shows the people are beginning to think. The handwriting is on the wall. From now on we will witness similar rejections by the citizenry of the New Deal program." Hoover Demands Showdown From the Administration JXIRMER PRESIDENT HERBERT " HOOVER, traveling from California to New York, stopped in Chicago long enough to Issue a challenge to the Roosevelt administration and a call on the President for a showdown as to his policy on changing the Constitution. He declared the American people have a right to know what alterations In the basic law the administration proposes to make. "The time has come," he said, "when these full purposes should be disclosed. The people should now be told openly the specific words of the exact amendment that these gentlemen want so that the people can consider and themselves determine It. That is their right." llurphy, N. C.. Thursday, Grass Roots Movement Is Given Permanent Form T> KPUBLICANS of the 10 Midwestern states that participated In the Grass Roots conference in Springfield, 111., have made the Grass Roots' move- ! ment a permanent auxiliary of the party. Harrison K. Spengler of Iowa is its chairman. Mrs. Leslie Wheeler of Illinois the vice chairman, and Jo Ferguson of Oklahoma, the secretary. ; Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky, not represented at the Springfield meeting, have been invited to join in the move, ment. Black's Methods in Probe Resented by Pat Hurley SENATOR HUGO IJLACK of Alabama may bring out a lot of facts in his inquiry into lobbying, but his way of conducting the investigation is not winning him any credit. The house has all along felt that he Xd was trying to bully It into aceepting the util- i ities hill "death sen tencc" clause and has been correspondingly j resentful. Various witnesses before tlie sen'm. ate committee have J felt, seemingly with D . , reason, that they wore ur ey treated unfairly. I One of tliese witnesses who cora- : plained bitterly was I'atrlck J. Hurley, secretary of war in the Hoover administration. He testified that he had eceived $100,000 from t he Associated i 3ns and Electric system in the last hree years, but insisted he was nald or legal advice only and had clone no obhylng. Hurley was not permitted o read a prepared statement, and Hack's interjections and questions so 1 ingered the witness that he rose to lis feet and shouted: "Everyone knows ill you gentlemen are good prosecn- i ors! Of course, you don't know what t Is to be 'air or just. You try to put vords into u witness' mouth. Your questions are all on the type of the j Why don't you stop beating your vlfe?' query." Federal Penal Colony on Rat Islands Proposed pOL. C. A. SEOANE of the army slgnal corps has proposed a plan for he establishment of a federal penal olony on the Rat islands, off Alaska, ?nd recommended it t? the consideralon of Attorney General Cununings. It would he so isolated that no guards vould he required anc' the prisoners :ould be left to shift for themselves. The four Rat islands, near the end if the Aleutian group, comprise 1,000 square miles?and are more than 1,000 niles from the Alaskan Mainland, 2,000 nlles from the nearest United States mint, and more than 2,0)0 miles from lawalt. ^azi "Housecleaning" Has hitler's Full Support ADOLF HITLER'S silence during the recently renewel Nazi warare on Jews and Catholics led many o think the movement was being led yy others. But Der fuehrer emerged from lis country residence to make a speech at t ' Rosenheim in which ae made it clear he ' was backing cur- yAOttfl clared the Nazi party f would smash Its op"Always stand to ??? Adolf Hitler your flag, not only in good days but even more In the bad ones. Keep It up when the storm lashes and clouds the firmament." Deep apprehension still prevails among Jews in Germany as to what the future has '.n store for them. After Count von Helldorf. Berlin noll^A president, had forbidden individual action against Jews, Wilhelm Frick, minister of interior, announced: "The Jewish question will slowly but surely be gotten rid of, as the Nat) program foresees." Mussolini and Ethiopian Emperor Prepare for War ENGLAND and France were still trying to find the way to'avert war between Italy and Kthiopla, but Premier Mussolini of Italy was so skeptical that he ordered 75,000 more men to the colors. By the first of October he will have about a million men In uniform. Haile Selassie, the Ethiopian emperor, was reported to have sanctioned the concentration of 60,000 of his troops on Italy's east African frontiers. The chiefs, it Is said, are finding it increasingly difficult to restrain their warriors from overt acta that would surely precipitate warfare. A report from Addis Ababa said the emperor was ready to cede a portion of Ethiopia to Italy In return for loans from that country to develop Ethiopia's resources and the granting of a seaport, as was suggested tome time ago by OapL Anthony Eden of England. August 22, 1935 DIETARY HABITS NEED POSTERING EARLY IN CHILD ? Nothing it: quite so important to V health as food. The wellbeing of a child depends on it. and his fu- C tare stamina will reflect nutritive p discrepancies in babyhood. P The mother who thinks that there n is time enough ahead for corrective diet is laboring under a traditional delusion that up until two years of age dnd sometimes longer, milk is n the sum total of everything. Milk is the warp and the woof of ~ what it takes to get through life, i and especially at its beginning. But it needs supplementing, because its 1 chemistry is low in a few needed essentials and the child, set in his aliiiiiIk diet, resists other foods. Doctors Prescribe Varied Foods. Doctors long ago recognized the value of adding other foods to the diet of milk, early in babyhood. In order t?> offset future finicky appe- ' tiles. Thus the infant of six weeks gets his cod-liver oil and orange juice or tomato Juice; a little later a spoonful or two of prepared vegetable juice or even the strained vegetable itself. At a period that, in the past would have been consid ered murderous he gets his bit of | , cereal, part of the yolk of an egg. a snack of baked potato and mashed stewed fruit. Whatever today's baby is given, should, of course, be absolutely under the doctor's direction. There is a difference in babies. 1 >ut the great truth that many mothers do not know is that children with touchy appetites at six or eight or ten years of age, are , the results of fixed preference In babyhood. Caution Must Be Exercised. Another thing that should be remembered is that as milk must be the alpha and omega of his meal, j therefore the amounts of other food given must not be so great | that the willingness to take milk is decreased. , The doctor will give you lists and schedules for feeding. My suggestions here are only for one purpose. That Is to show "why" and "how" aversions to needed foods are start- ' ed. Food habits, which mean flavor habits, have to be cultivated early. | STRIKE UP THE BAND THE FLAVOR'S GLOR - l-OUS OnCE you taste Grape-Nuts Flak cheer toot And it not only has a 1 flavor, but it's nourishing.
