Business Puts A Punch In Recovery Leaders Keep Plans Secret Understood That Presi dent’s Four Billion Relief Request Is Frowned Upon New York.—The war council of business and industry mapped its course for putting the punch behind its program for economic recovery formed by the joint busi ness conference recently in White Sulphur Springs. Silence guarded details of the plans drafted at a session of the business conference committee headed by C. B. Ames, president of the Texas corporation. Only on one point, it was be lieved, had the administration strayed from the path pointed out j by the conference. That was on federal finance. The request by President Roosevelt for $4,000, 000,000 for a work relief program was viewed in some quarters as a debt-increasing burden contrary to the best interests of business and industry. As stated in the joint conference platform, "a reasonable program of emergency relief expenditures can be financed without debt in crease in the fiscal year 193 6 by confirming unemployment relief to an indispensable minimum.” The $4,000,000,000 request,' therefore, was put in the light of j not being to the liking of the busi- j ness men because it increased the: debt, and not because it was for re lief. On the rebel topic, it appeared that the administration had sub stantially worked along the same lines as the joint conference. Spok esman denied that the conference had asked for a dole in place of work relief on a wide and unalter able basis. Quoting from the declaration of the conference, "the creation of public works for the purpose of providing relief invites waste and definitely defers a balanced bud get." ■ __:_I There again the idea was para mount, spokesmen said, that a bal anced budget was essential.' As for unemployment insurance or reserves, the businessmen have said the President’s program has not been well enough defined to indicate whether it will be along the lines suggested at the White Sulphur Springs conference. Arguments by the government before the supreme court of the United States in defense of the private contracts are seen by some as a favorable indication that the administration intends to Join with other world powers in dollar and exchange stabilization. 250,000 Attend Inauguration Of Penn.

New Taxes Hit By President - j President Roosevelt is opposed to any new or additional taxes for j the fiscal year 1936, he said in de livering his budget message to Con- : gress. This was taken to indicate that • the Administration will frown on1 the attempts to impose an addi tional income tax on District resi-' dents, as advocated by Senator William H. King, .Dem.), of Utah,1 ,chairman of the Senate District' Committee. Such a tax measure would con stitute not only a new tax, but: would take millions of dollars out' of the pockets of District wage earners and business men, tax authorities have pointed out. In the President’s message, he stated he does not feel it advis-1 able to propose any new or addi tional taxes at this time. I The budget, submitted to Con-j gress with the message, contains the 1936 budget for the District of Columbia and makes no men tion of the income tax. It fixes the "lump sum” appro piation from the Federal Govern-j Iment toward the cost of local government at $5,700,000, the same figure as for this year. The $5,700000 given by the Fed eral Government this year con stitutes only 13 per cent of the cost of municipal government, while under the law Congress is obligated to pay 40 per cent. i The 1936 budget sets estimated revenues and receipts for the District at $33,100,000 and ex penditures of $41,800,000, leaving a deficit of $8,700,000. I This will be met by the Federal contribution of $5,700,000 and a decrease in the working balance of $3,000,000 to balance the bud get. Keal estate, with an assessed value of $1,13 5,000,000, will carry the principal tax burden of the District, with a levy of $17,025,-' 000 and an estimated revenue of $1S, 740,000, including payments of taxes in default Tangible property, assessed at $70,000,000 and paying a tax of $1.50 per $100, is expected to yield $1,050,000. Intangible personal property, assessed at $430,000,000 and pay ing a rate of 50 cents per $100, is expected to net the District $2, 05 0,000 as against a levy of $2, 130,000. Senator King had advocated that this intangible tax be repealed and the income tax substituted. Tax authorities differ with him in 'this, assesrting it would be unfair j to exempt this great sum from taxa tion. Other sources of estimated in come for the District are: Public utilities and banks, $1,675,000; licenses, $1,225,000; gasoline tax, $2,050,000; water rates, $1,420, 000. The budget hits at the total of uncollected taxes in the District [and recommends that steps be taken to collect these delinquent taxes or to write them off the collector’s books. At the close of the fiscal year 1934, it is pointed out, the total of uncollected realty taxes was $4,639,000. While the major part of this sum was delinquent since 1929, some dates as far back as 1877. tjr tne collection or aennquent taxes in 1934, none were prior to 1926 and there was only a "small and insignificant collection” on the years 1926—1930. In carving a fowl, they say, you should give each person some light and some dark meat. They are so hashed up when Mr. Newlywed carves, that everybody is sure to get some of both. Lecture courses are not too popu lar, as many people are afraid if they attended them they might learn something.

Rochester, Who Gives Some Tips About ‘‘Keeping Your Man," apd a Scene in His Silver Grill Where Each Week He Enter tains Thousands ot Visitors. witn tne aia oi iresn, wnoie spme foods and good recipes, the American housewife can go a long way toward keeping any husband happy. That is the dec laration of Charles E. Rochester, general manager of one of New York City’s leading hotels, the Lexington, where the kitchens and menus replete - With fresh foods are well known to visitors from all parts of the world. Mr. Rochester believes thor oughly in American cookery and American cooks. His chef is a woman, Miss' Charlotte Fields, and most of her assistants are women cooks. He even allows no foreign words on the daily menus .of his hotel. “In the interests of the great American appetite,” says Mr. Rochester, he insists upon abso lute freshness and highest qual ity in all food used' under his supervision. He has set the most rigid of tests for his receiving storerooms.. Tomatoes are right out of the" garden, the fish are caught only a few hours before, melons are at the peak of ripened flavor, coffee is dated, tea is the freshest tender leaf, baking pota toes from Idaho are so precious that each is wrapped in tissue. Fresh, tasty bread and rolls must ilways be on hand for every meal, in wide variety, as bread is still and probably always will be j the staff of life. The examination of food is I none the less careful just because i great- quantities oi iooastuns from every land in the world must be checked: fink grapefruit from Texas, bacoh from Ireland, goose liver from Alsace, arti chokes and anchovies from Italy, caviar from the shores of the Black Sea, chutney from India, raisins from Syria, marmalade' from England, black bread from Sweden. Not only are all foodstuffs care fully selected in his kitchens, but all are prepared with the utmost care. The experience and train ing of his American women cooks is supplemented with- constant research to develop new dishes and to find new and more deli cious recipes for old favorites. In spite of the fact that many of these recipes call for unusual in gredients and facilities, a large number of the dishes which are consistently popular- with thou sands of guests each day are comparatively simple, and can easily be prepared in any home. He is always ready to answer any housewife’s letter requesting the recipe for a favorite dish, or to suggest some new way to prepare a simple American concoction which will give a new flavor to the home dinner.' Every day interested visitors are escorted through his kitchens. “Use foods as fresh as possible, and use variety in the menus,” is I Mr. Rochester’s tip to the Araer | ican housewife who would have “her man” look forward to the delight of another meal at -home I AND THIS NEWSPAPER-1 FULL YEAR I You Save Money on this Amazing Combination Offer I 4 Leading Magazines and Your Favorite Newspaper | fpickl\ mMaqazinej I □Better Homes 4 Gardens. .1 Yr. ft I □ McCall's Magazine.' 1 I □ Pathfinder (Weekly). * I M Q Pictorial Review.'
