THURSDAY, JULY 11, IMS THE FRANKLIN PRESS and THE HIGHLANDS MACON IAN PAGE SEVEN President Pushes Tax Bill; Congress Grows Resentful (Special To Tha PrwM-Mamian) WASHINGTON, July lO.-Under strict orders from the President, Congress is going to stay in session until it either passes his tax pro? gram or gets into such a tangle of debate as to make it certain that no such measure can be put through in the present temper of the boys, on Capitol Hill. Nobody can forecast with cer tianty which of those -twothing$ will happen. It can be set down; as a certainty, however, that many of the members of both parties in both Houses are resentful. It isn't only that they don't like to be kept in Washington through the hot weather. That has happened be-r fore. The special session that President Hoover called in April, 1929, sat until November. What is annoying the legislators is the feeling that a measure of such tre mendous importance, involving so many social and economic ques tions, and running so contrary to principles of taxation that have heretofore prevailed, ought npt 'to be rushed through without giving the country at large plenty of time to talk about it and think it over and express its reaction. ; It is not too much to say that if the President did not hold the whip, which Congress handed him last Spring, the four billion dollars Work Relief Fund, which he can allot among states and districts in Hnv wav he pleases, the revolt would be an open one. How They Arc Figuring There is no disinclination to im pose higher taxes upon very large incomes and upon great estates in process of transmission from dead hands to living ones. This "pay-as-you-leave" scheme has a good deal that commends it in principle to those who are impressed with the importance of finding new sources of Federal Revenue. Some new tax plan must be evolved if the Federal Budget is ever going to be balanced. But there is great doubt in the minds of some statesman-like members of both Houses as to whether the Presidential pro ject could actually produce enough new revenues to make any appre ciable dent in the deficit. A wide-spread, thorough and carefully considered revision of all of the income, estate, gift and in heritance taxes would have support not only from practically all of the Democratic members but from a large percentage of the Republic an members as well. Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, who is still regarded as one of the most likely prospects for the Re publican Party nomination next year, has declared himself in favor of a complete income tax revision, but one set up on a much broader base than the present law. In stead of trying to get all the ad ditional revenue from the few very wealthy, Senator Vandenberg would carry the income tax much farther down the line than the schedules now go. The strongest indication that the entire Democratic representation is not in comnlete accord with the President, even though it obeys or ders fairly well, was given when the House voted down the "death sentence" for public utility holding comnanies. in the face of the strongest pressure by the Admin istration's spokesmen that has yet been exerted See 1936 IfeuM Forming The issues on which next year's Presidential election will be con tested are becoming more sharply defined from week to week. It is generally accepted here in Wash ington that the Administration is moving deliberately toward building un nuhlic sentiment in favor of more or less revision of the Con stitution. This brief is based .upon the Administration's insistence up on the enactment of laws which are almost unanimously regarded as un constitutional, such as the Wagner Labor Disputes Act and the Guffey Soft Coal Regulation Bill. Somebody blundered in the Soft Coal situation. The coal miner had agreed to postpone their threatened strike until July 1, in exchange for an agreement by the President that he would push the Guffey Bill through. It was not until Friday night, l,..w. ?H that ttip Prfcirlfnt lparnprl that the coal strike would be called rt midniffht Sundav nicht. Tune 30. unless quick action were taken by the Government. There were hasty midnight con ferences at the White House and at the ome of Madam Perkins, Secretary of Labor, and a new truce Was agreed upon until August 1. Now Bills May Appear . The extended session is : going to give . a- chance for further discus sion arid probably the passage of several measures tnat seemed to have been shelved a few weeks Lago. l ne Krazier-tjemke pn, tor the retinanctng ot farm loans by an issue of greenback currency is one that seems most likely to pass both Houses. The Bonus Bloc will put up a terrific fight to tack the bonus payment onto whatever new "fax bill may come up. There will probably be pressure for more in flationary silver legislation and the Railroad Pension Bill probably will Se brought forward again. The internal confusion pi the Work Relief program is getting worse instead ot petter. Not enough projects -hay e yet been approved to take care of more than a trifling fraction of those now on relief. Most interesting Washington gos sip of the week ; (1) The report, generally credit ed, that Mr. Hoover will shortly announce publicly and positively that he will not be a candidate for president in 1936. iZ) The disclosure that 37 mem bers of the House of Representa tives have their wives, sons, daugh ters, nephews and nieces upon the Government payrolls.

I can't see why tliey want whisky stores when whisky causes so much harm. What good is there in whis ky? How many souls has it saved? It ruins the health and morals ot the people who drink it. Why do they want it loose ? They say they want to stop the bootleggers. How can they, wnen they don't stop them from making it? If there was a law to stop making it in our land and country and to not allow any brought to our country, then it would stop. Whisky has ruined more homes than any one thing. The time has come that our young mothers and girls have gone to drinking the poison stuff. They think the men will love them better. They are so weak; and they have gone to smok ing, too. They should want to be like their grandmothers of old. They don't stay at home like their grandmothers did and make" every body happy and train their children up right and to serve the Lord Jesus Christ. Their grandmothers did not get ' drunk and ruin their homes; they could say, "Get behind me, Satan." When we no longer can resist temptation, then we must turn to God for a helping hand. i A- Mother. WE THANK YOU July the 4th has come and gone. It was a pity that the prevalence of whooping cough made it neces sary to cancel the baby parade in ihe morning and that rain rather spoiled the parade of the after noon. At the same time it was a joy to us that we were able to car y out to the full the remainder of the schedule. It is the hope of the Franklin Troop of Boy. Scouts that all had a good day. We have gained experience in the venture and we hope that, should we be able to repeat the event another year, we may make a fuller pro gram and one which will be of even greater interest. The boys and girls athletic events should be utilized by a far greater number and another time we hope to or ganize those features a little before hand. The thanks of the entire Troop are due to the Rotary Club, to business houses and to a whole host of individual citizens who help ed finance the day. The Troop funds have been materially helped by the proceeds of our booth an the square and the part proceeds which we received from the musi cal show in the courthouse that night. Among the casualties of the day were the loss of a Schaeffer pencil by the director and a pock et knife by his assistant and it would be much appreciated if the finders of these articles would re turn them at omce.
