There have been several presidential campaigns, ?u taose 40 years, in which the results ,?mld be predicted with ceifta&ty, even before the candidate >wero. uninitiated. This does not look ito me dike that kind of a year. ( To both Democratic and Republican frauds the advice I give when they tvsjc me ?or it is not to be too confident i ibmk it will be a close election. Lt cenainly will be a hard-fought ?am p.v?n. But as thiugs stand now, I wo.ild say the odds are in favor cl Mr. Roosevelt, no matter who may be nominated, against him. That is, as a matter of fact, almost always the case when a President stands for reelection. The ins have the best of it. They have a well-or ganised party machine ajid the ouLs seldtm do. ISSUES just one As I see the political picture, Uieie viiil be just one issue. However I mcy be expre^d, it will come down to a question of whether the voters want to continue the present policies ajid methods of the Federal Govern ment, or whether they want -a uhtingi'. The opposition will center ilts cam paign upon the acts of the present Administration, denounce many of tli' things for winch Mr. Roosevelt is heir! responsible and demand a com plele change. Jj\ other words, the outcome of th-* election next November rests npo:i whether more voters arc pleased than arc displeased aonduet ot, j be Government under Mr. Roosevelt uhus far, or vice-versa. I think (tin j?eraKmaltiics of the candidates wi'i count for miuch less tha|i is gcnenalh anticipated. HANDICAPS .... in office No matter what changes the Repub licaT:.'. promi#!, and no matter how honestly they are made, if the Repub lican candidate is elected he will be lYiudicapped by having tk> work for .wo years at least with a Senate ol the oppoAJig palrty. More than a lOaj'.nty of the Senate today insists of Democratic Senators whose .term-s don't expire until the end of 1938. I don't mean to imply that most ot ihesc arc not statesmen enough to go ulorg with a Republican President, if cieci*'-), on issues of major Lmporttaincc .ind upon whieh the majority public sentiment has been sfliarply defined. But, on any issue upon which vital ! differences occur in policies of uhe two parties* the next President, if a Republican, might find it hard sled ding to do much toward building up the political machinery to continue himself and his party in power. The first objective of any political party when it finds itself in, instead of out, is to dig ilts trenches and throw up its fortifications so that it can stay in. CANDIDATES .... Landon While I am not personally concern ed with any of the individuals who seem to be at all lik<fy to become the Republican candidate, I know two cr three of them personally. The one whom I don't know at all is, ait pres ent, easily the leading- candidate for the m>mima|tion. That is Governor Alfred M. Landon, of Kansas. Governor Landon's availability is based ujlon several factors. Pot ono thing, he has been in politics all his life. Thus being a political govern ment, nobody but an experienced pol-1 itici&n can do a first-rate .job of admin istering it. His geographical location counts. His friends say he has made a good record for economical adminis tration, ajnd he is one of the few Republican Governors who was re elected in 1934. But to my notion his strongest asiaet is that John Hamilton, Counsel to the Republican Noitfonal Committee and one of the ablest politicians in that party, has undertaken to manage the-Landon campaign. I aim not, how ever, ? advising anybody at Mus titn.? to bot on his ejection or that of any other Republican. , I . (Plaase Ton To Pt^e 2) W.C.T.C. TO REPEAT PROGRAM ON AIR ' \ ..

The main t.hing that is going to eat up time is working oud a new tax bill. That a v?ry largo amount of additional tax revenue must be found somewhere, i&id that quickly, is now regret fully . admitted by members of Congress. At any time the problem of taxation 13 a delicate ono. Important new lax svkicuis have to be discussed and eon ?? sidercd from many angle* In- ?id.s !;c question #f whether they will r..^a the money needed. That sort of discussion but already begun in regard to President Roose velt's propositi to levy a tax upon tlw undistributed surplus of corporation-. That would mean tliaft liquid Juiuls in <$orpaUa*e treasuries, wl<Lch :?ra tip.ing held in reserv.:, either against a falling off iu business or to iiiiam o improvements anil extensions busi ness picas uj>, woujld d? ?U*wn iq*?n as a new source of revenue. The President's? proposal is to abol ish the existing tax on corporate ui omes, exoeas profits and capital stock., which now produce a revenue of about $1,000,000,OOU a yea*, and instead, lovy a tax which is estimated at ubuul one-third of their total on the corpor ate reserves. This, Cue treasury In ures, would amount to about $1,600,000,000, thus increasing tUo Government's income by $000,000,000. The question of how the President's plan would work out is what is pux aliiig members of Congress. Firet^ would it cripple corporation* which have itwiunmlitH large surpluses I Second, would it result 111 an immedi ate distribution of large proportio n of those surpluses in the form of div idends to stockholders and so reduce the total to a point where (the expect ed revenue would not be forth It is pointed oat jA ova hand uhat these surpluses are thfe property yf tjae stockholders and ought to be dis tributed to them in the foitn of divi dends. If that were done, they would 1t*t .taxable as individual incomes. On the other hand, the argument i'? set up tUhat only the existence of lanjo undistributed surjuees has enabled many industries to carry on, to kf^p their plant equipment up to date, con tinue to employ labor, and pay divi dends to stockholders during even liiu depths of the depression when tliay were actually running at a loss. Ho>v far can that protective reserve be drawn upon without incurring tho risk of serious damage to industries and increasing unemployment! These arc serious questions, and :iio being taken seriousiy by the members of both Houses. The best guess now is that th'j Provident's plan will not be adopt ct in its entfrety, mainly beflause them is tfot time between now and the po Idticad conventions to examine all of its implications. There probably will be some experimental tax on undw tributcd surpluses, but existing .or porati011 taxes are not likely to In- re l?oaicd, although they may be si-al-, down. Resistance is very stronp to any in crease in individual income taxes ex oept in what are termed the brackets". Incomes in excess of *10, 000 net a' year may be taxed - .. hiphrr rU<> tfcrn at pr"? .
