Assume that a corporation bad Invested a large portion of Its surplus or reserves re-serves In tax-exempt bonds. The bill proposes first to limit the amount of income which that corporation cor-poration may receive and to tax half of the remainder. The result Is that Income from tax-exempt securities se-curities would be mingled with other oth-er forms of Income and the government govern-ment would dip Its band Into the total and take whatever amount the law prescribed. Another provision of the bill would result In government confiscation confis-cation In wartime of every dollar of Income that any official of any corporation, cor-poration, company or partnership received ln excess of $10,000 per year. It is to be remembered here that the above-mentioned $10,000 would not be tax-exempt Those drawing such salaries still would hare to pay the government $2,800 In taxes on the tlO.000 Income. In other words, since nearly every one receiving salaries ef this else serves In an official capacity with some commercial unit, the tax provision actually reaches nearly all of the individual Income tax payers. Certainly, the drastic rates affect all persons receiving sny Income of consequence because there Is a sharp reduction in the personal exemption ex-emption prescribed and the tax rates themselves are boosted higher than s kite. For Instance, s married man with an income of 13,000 a year would have to pay s minimum of $300 to the government Immediately Immedi-ately war was declared. The lethargy that continues among national Republican leaders Is beginning be-ginning to grow Criticiz Irksome upon ml-Leadera ml-Leadera Dor wheelborses and Individual Republicans Re-publicans of lesser consequence ln national affairs. Word is coming through to Washington from various vari-ous sections of the country Indicating Indicat-ing considerable dissatisfaction with the management of Republican party affairs by the present regime, headed by Henry P. Fletcher, national na-tional chairman. There Is likewise a growing volume of criticism of the work of Senator Hastings of Delaware, and Representative Bolton Bol-ton of Ohio, Joint chairmen of the Republican-senatorial-congressional committee. I don't believe anybody can forecast fore-cast at this time what the result Is going to be. It should be said ln favor of Mr. Fletcher and Co-Chalr-men Hastings and Bolton that they are In a tough spot They are crltN clsed If they do and criticised If they don't Tet the fact remains and I think It Is recognized everywhere that none of these three has taken a positive position nor has he initiated ini-tiated any constructive effort In behalf be-half of bla party's political future. From among Republicans who yet remain in congress, I have picked up much private discussion indicating indicat-ing fear on their part that the Republican Re-publican party management Is faced with an upheaval equivalent to the Roosevelt New Deal among the Democrats unless the party leaders awaken from their unperturbed aleep. The point made most frequently fre-quently is that President Roosevelt actually has Inaugurated his campaign cam-paign for re-election, and the Republicans Repub-licans are doing absolutely nothing about it It Is well to recall that Postmaster General Farley is planning plan-ning to retire Just when nobody knows to devote his attention to his other Job which is chairman of the Democratic Nattonal committee. This Information can be construed In only one way now that Mr. Fletcher Flet-cher is getting ready to take hla aeat again at the helm of the campaign cam-paign machine. Some of the smarter Republicans insist that this should be notice to the guiding lights of their own party to begin construction construc-tion of political trenches. Something may come of the Republican Re-publican sectional meetings now being be-ing planned. It Is Jdst possible that out of these group discussions may be evolved some national program, or the makings of a national policy. It Is likewise possible that from these group discussions some individual indi-vidual may arise who would be a worthwhile leader for the party against Mr. Roosevelt next year. To date, according to all of the Information Infor-mation I can obtain, that leader Is not In sight 8enator Arthur Tan denberg of Michigan, who wu reelected re-elected to the senate last year In the midst of a Democratic landslide, has been suggested.

It seems like the Middle West baa had a particular run c ' bad luck the last tew years. They Just went and plowed up so much of that country coun-try that should have been left to Buffalo Grass. But you cant blame em, for at that time things were high, and when yon first plow it up It did turn out some fine prairie grass. And a tunny thing, of all these seed companys, they Just eant seem to get the native peed that originally come from that place. It takes years to get an old plowed-over field back from anything but weeds. I Just got a kind of a hunch that things are going to pick up all around. Everybody hollers about all this big new batch of money that Is to be spent but (In spite of what the Republlcana and part of .the Democrats say) he must know certain cer-tain things by this Urns that will bring results. Tou cant possibly spent! that much money without giving giv-ing a lot of people work, and yon eant give a lot of people work without with-out them spending It They cant hold It they cant bury It they have to spend it The man they apend It with, the atorekeeper and butcher, he haa to spend it Its bound to have a benefltlal effect ail around, and the big ones that are hollering ao, Its bound to reach them, and fix them so they can pay higher taxes. I am like everybody else. I could sit down by tb.3 hour and tell of plans that has been tried ln the last couple of yeara that havent worked, that have maby not only looked foolish. but were foolish, but darn It all that criticism wouldent do any good. It would Just add to the yell of the pack. It would be Just another howl ln the wilderness. I could sit down from now till morning and tell yon what he ahould not have done, but If yon give me five minutes contln tons time, 1 couldent tell you what he ahould have done, and neither can any of the rest of em. Ttey can view with alarm by the hour, but they point with pride to something else for a minute. All they can say la "Let Business Alone." Well that all sounds fine, and It looks like a good thing to do, and It would be a good thing to do. but It waa done. It was already done. Mr. Hoover certainly let it alone, right during thlt same depression. There waa not one sign of a handicap put on it There waa no hollering about usurping the rights of the Constitution. Constitu-tion. The Constitution waa a-golng wide open, and business had the same leeway. Then what waa the holler? All yon hare to do la remember remem-ber back. . . But its no good going over old scores. The breaks have Just been against ns, the same aa I said earlier the breaks have been against those poor ranchers that lived ln the drouth and sand storm districts. We are ln a hole and we are Just running around ln there looking tor somebody some-body to lay It on. Big business wasent entirely responsible tor getting get-ting us in there, and they are not going to be entirely responsible for getting us out aa lota seem to think. They can help naturally, for they are a tremendous influence. I think this fellow Roosevelt, saw that there was a lot of ills connected with the way businesses were run. and he started ln with idealistic plans aa to how they ahould be remedied, and he has found that any business wont work with you whet its not paying. He has persuaded, he haa coaxed, he has tried, but you cant make you or I Invest our money If we are afraid, and he haa kept em afraid. But maby the minute min-ute that this glagantlc expenditure starts showing some results business busi-ness will join ln with him, and that will assure the whole plan's success. We can talk all the politics we want but business rises above politics poli-tics in this Country. The South haa gone Republican, and the North has gone Democratic. Why, both have done It because it looked like there was money in it Let Roosevelt start showing some results with this new money, and it will have a lot of outside out-side dough join it. Th-re is not a Country in the World that can change our outlook as quick as we can. Just a dollar ln our pocket makes a different man out of us. So lets dont thumbs dowu on this thing till we see. and tbe minute. any of that dough commences reaching reach-ing us, we are going to think Its a retty good plan. . 0 lJJ.
