TWO ROOSEVELT AGAIN ADDRESSES THE American people TTrges AH Patriotic Citizens to Subscribe to General Code of National Industrial Recovery Act, Country Can't Wail for Special Codes, He Warns. Must Get Started Now. W illing Industries Will Be Protected. Washing*!on. - President Roosevelt appealed Monday night to every employer in the country to sign the "common covenant" of uniform higher wages And shorter hours "in the name of patriotism and. humanity" and thus make the New Deal ami immediate reality. Failure will mean "another desperate winter." he said in a statement to the nation, issued to the press and broadcast over the radio. Striking at the "shirker" the President said such an individual refuses to play his part "at the expense of his country's welfare " Adoption of the uniform code, which provides a 3o-bour week and a Sl-I minimum wage for labor and a 4Uhour week and for the "white collar" worker, "will start the wheeis turning now, and not six rncnths frocc; now,*' the President declared Warns Shirkers "But if any considerable group should lag or shirk this great opportunity will pass by us. and we shall go into another desperate winter." ho warned solemnly. 'This must not happen." "It will be clear to you." he told! the millions who heard his appeal, as j it is to me that, while the .shirking; era pi oyer may undersell his competitor. the saving he thus makes is made at the expense of his country's we)- j fare " While there are penalties in the! law to reach the shirker, the President said it is his present plan to depend y.poii co-operation. "There are. or course, men. a ?ew of then: who might thwart this great common purpose by seeking sein.-h Advantages," he declared. "There arc adequate pena!t*,e.-* in the law but 1 "in now asking eu-optivsd ri thai c< nuns t'roiti opinion and C' .r.si icucv- These are the only instruments we shad use in this great sur i'V.T offensive against ur . ! .;>?.?s meat, -'..-r-'j , - , "But. v.v shall use them to the hunt to protect the wiiling from the lagr gard jipd to ?h>,ke the plan succeed,' . i -.i~- z \:r r.ifike-bb O# tilts nation-wine pi'in; nut yjc po >pl?

Pointing to the flood of telegrams which has deluged the White House pledging support to the plan, the President' asked, every employer whe has not done so to write or telegraph him personally oxprosSiirig their-intention of going through with the plan." He plans, he said, to keep an honor roll posted in every pos toff ice in the country. "Already/' the President said, "al! the great, basic industries have come forward willingly with proposed codes and in these codes they accept the principles leading to mass re-employment. But. important, as is thlr heartening co-operation .the richest field for results is among the suiall employers, those whose contribution will be to give hew work to from one to ten people. These smaller employers are indeed a vital part of the backbone of the country and the success of the plan ties largely in their own hands." None Will Suffer No employer will suffer, the ChieJ Executive said, "because the relative level of competitive cost wiH advance by the same amount for all." iie warnea l&oor against resorting to "aggression" to gain its rights. While we are making this great common effort, there should be nc discord and dispute," the President declared. "This is no time to cavil or to question the standard set by the universal agreement It is time lor patience and understanding and cooperation. The workers of the country have rights under this law which cannot be taken from them, and nobody will be permitted to whittle them away, but, on the other hand, no aggression is now necessary to attain those rights. "The whole country will be unitec to get them for you. The principle that applies to the employers applies to the workers as well, and I ast you workers to co-operate in the same spirit."

This denial of the right I of the customer to have the tax computed on the total of purchases made at one time, rather than upon each article, in many cases resulted in tax charges of five and six per cent when j the total purchases were large en-' jough to apply a straight three perl (cent.

These experiences have heen strong- ! j iy persuasive in the direction ot a j single schedule for all merchants. ; starting with a lower taxable line for | the benefit of merchants having a j large volume of sales below* the taxa1' ble line and making it adjustable to all merchants by using a higher top range in each bracket and giving the j : customer the benefit of a tax adjusted r to the total sum of his purchases at one trading period. ; "Under the rule now promulgated it will not be possible for the merchant . to include the lax in the price of each > article of merchandise, because the : amount of tax on a given article is not an exact sum. but will vary with i rence to whether two or more! j purchases are made at the same time, | ' and depends upon the total sum oi; i such cumulative purchases.
