Show I i UTAH LEHI FREE PRESS. LKHU TAMEK LION A TAME HOW TO SEEN and HEARD arouncftie r-- "Marry Him!' Savs Mr, Clyde NATIOMAI fAPITAlA-- L By WASHINGTON Washington. Capitol Hill U simply aniaied at the falling off In tuall from Constituent lately. Many office of senators and representatives are right now receiving less than li er cent of their rioninil mall. Id the face of the fact that a sweeping new tax hill Is being written, to be lniHsed on the country, this situation I absolutely unique. The answer, according to some Is that the eople back home do not understand what Is going on. For one thing, most people who have been reading the newspapers about the new tax bill assume that the whole thing Is aimed at the big rich corporations, particularly the ones wiih big surpluses. One senator told the writer t tin t be bad inquired In bis own home town he happens to come from a very small city and had discovered that not a single business man In town thought the new tax bill would hit him! "The only people who are Interested," he continued, 'are In some corporations, and more of them are pleased than alarmed. They think the new law will force their corporations to pay bigger dividends, and they are all for that." Rut the really amazing f;ict aprieara to be that owners of little corporations are convinced, without knowing anything about It, that they will be exempt that only the big fellows will bear the new burden. And this does not make them very angry. Whereas, senators point out, the committee program In the house provides a whole schedule of new taxes for corporations with Incomes ranging from $10,(I0 a year downward, as well as from $10,000 year upward. Have Wrong View Most of these owners of small corporations rend the original press stories about the new tax plan that President Roosevelt wanted to eliminate the present corporation Income tax, the present corporation capital Btock tax, and the present excess profit tax, and substitute this sliding scale tax on undistributed earnings for all of them. They still hold that view, despite the obvious fact that congress has no Intention whatever of repealing the corporation Income tax. and may even retain. In whole or In part, the capital stock and excess profits taxes. In abort, the effect of the new bill, when completed, will be to add the new tuxes to the; old, not to substitute the new for the old, as the President recommended. Nor Is there any doubt that the President will accept the changes. Nothing else will provide the revenue the government must have, especially as congress Is determined to go ns lightly as possible on excise taxes. With respect to little corporations those with "adjusted net Incomes" of $10,000 or less there Is a sliding scale tax In the house committee plan which goes up to 20.7 per cent on all undistributed earnings. Quite a Sizable slice out of earnings which a struggling little corporation might he anxious to use In building Itself Tip! So the little corporation Is exempt ! Sliding scale taxes In the tee plan for corporations with from $10,000 a year up and far from commit- Incomes this Includes a very great many corporations In small towns which are not regarded, even at home, as anything but little fellows rise much more sharply. These slide up to 42 per cent on all undistributed earnings In excess of per cent of the net Income. It Is true that there are several classifications on which the burden is eased railroads, banks, corporations with debt obligations requiring the discharge of a certain part of the debt every years, etc. Hut the owners of little corporations who think that their snuillness Is going to prove an umbrella are due for a very rude awaken-Inst- . Tariff on Textiles WILLIAM The Idea of an import excise tax on textiles. Instead of a tax on corporations' undistributed earnings. Is expected to make a big hit In New Kngland, New York and New Jersey, and will be calculated to eaue a little discontent with the Democratic program In the Southern textile particularly lu the Carolina. Incidentally. If any strength should develop for It. the proiiaI will be to Secretary of most embarrassing State Cordell Hull, who Is still enthusiastic about his reciprocal trade agreements, and is gradually hammering down the protective tariff wall by this system. Many casual readers overlook the point that every time Hull agrees to a reduction In a duty on a given product In a treaty with one country, that reduction promptly also in favor of every other country with which the 1' til ted States has a "most favored nation clause" treaty. And that means most of them. s Appeal to Farmert For example, when In the recent treaty with Canada the duty on Imported liquor was reduced from $." to $2..r0 a gallon, the same reduction promptly applied to Scotch and Irish whiskies. With a view to appealing to the farm belt, the Republican ways and means committee members will recommend heavy excise tariff duties on agricultural products of all sorts. This Is aimed at offsetting the appeal of the New Deal's AAA farm benefits, now changed to soil erosion payments. This phase of the report while no attention will be paid to It by the Democratic majority Is expected to prove rather embarrassing to Democratic house members. For the majority members of the ways and mejins committee have agreed that there are to be no excise taxes whatever In the bill, despite the fact that President Roosevelt and the Treasury department have Insisted there should . u.1.1..-, no.e it. - UTLEY (jl!

Enough power could be produced by the tides to Justify In political arguments, at any rate the original claims about harnessing the tides. There Is plenty of water there, It Is pointed out, nnd of sufficient depth to produce a good harbor, providing a couple of breakwaters are built.
