HILL of Washington and his subcommittee of the house ways and means committee took up the heavy task of determining how the new revenue o f $1,137,000, (XX) called for by Presi- dent Roosevelt should be raised. officials Treasury recommended that an average tax of 33 W. calif. Beverly hills per cent should be levied on divided cor- o o n profits a r tl p and s tax of (X) per cent on all refunded or unpaid AAA processing taxes. .In this the fiscal experts followed, the suggestions of Mr. RooseveltT They told the subcommittee that the proposed corporation surplus tax would yield the government $G20, 000,000 annually. The President baa estimated that this amount will be needed to finance the new farm program and the soldier bonus. The windfall" tax on processors who successfully challenged the AAA In the courts, It was believed, would yield another 1200,000,000. This will be used to reimburse the treasury for losses suffered as a result of the Supreme courts Invalidation of AAA. There remains an additional (317,000,000 which It Is proposed to raise through excise taxes on a wide range of farm processors. Chairman II111 said the experts snd the members of the subcommittee were agreed that the tax on undivided surplus should not apply to banks and life Insurance companies. There was wide divergence of opinion concerning this tax among leaders In congress. Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois. Democrat, for Instance, declared himself against It as an unnecessary additional burden on business, and Indicated he would support. Instead, plan to tax the Income from federal securities now exempt Senator Borah, Republican, said that in principle he endorsed the plan f taxing undistributed earnings, while Senator Hastings of Delaware, also Republican, denounced It as "confiscatory." Senator King of Utah. Democrat, and Representative Knntson of Minnesota, Republican, were moved by the program to demand Immediate rutting down of federal expenditures, and In this Mr. Rorah concurred. Speaker Joseph W. Rryns and Majority Leader W. R. Rankhead professed to see no difficulties in the way of the proposed mensure. One thing that boosted the chances of the Iresident8 tax program was a report from Secretary of Commerce Roper that corporation Income in 1035 was 300 per cent higher than in 1932. so-call- course of his probe Into INtheT11E affairs of enemies of the New Deal, Senator Rlack of Alabama, chairman of the lobby committee, assumed the right to seize and ex amine their private telegrams, ant! thus his Investigation was carried Into the courts. Siius Strawn, Chi engo attorney, learned the commit tee was about to subpoena his telegrams and he obtained a temporary Injunction blocking such action. He has asked the District of Columbia Supreme court to make this Injunction permanent. The wholesale examination of telegrams was attacked by Representative Wadsworth of New York, and defended by Senator Rlack. It strike me," Wadsworth said, that we have reached a strange stage In the development of democracy when private correspondence can be seized without court procedure or search warrant." Back said: Repeatedly It has been held that the senate can call for what It pleases. There appears to have been a concerted effort by those who seek to Influence legislation behind . the scenes, through subterranean channels, to prevent us from getting evidence." It was reliably reported In Washington that the federal communications commission, which has jurisdiction over telegraph - ha- - eelmH millions'-o- f companies. telegrams from the Western Union and UoRt-Telegraph companies and tnmd them over to Jthe Black committee. -- TnE third anniversary of his Inauguration President Roosevelt pushed an electric key In the White Honse which act in motion . machinery that closed the slulco gates of the Norris dam In the Tennessee Valley project' This algnal--tze- d the completion of that part ett the vast work on the Clinch river.

The nation has come to realize that national resources must not be wasted and the Norris dam is evidence that our program for conservation of these resources la going forward." SENATOR RORAH and Senator of Indiana, the latter a Democrat, Introduced a bill directed against certain practices of the chain stores. The measure would make it unlawful for any person engaged In commerce to grant any discount, rebate, allowance or advertising service charge to a purchaser over that available to the purchasers competitors. It also would prohibit sales at prices lower than those exacted by said person elsewhere In the United States for the purpose of destroying competition or eliminating a competitor." associations would be exempted from provisions of the measure. Violators would be subr ject to a $3,000 fine and a sentence. jail The ao called Robinson Patman antimonopoly Mil, also aimed at chain atorea, will be passed by the senate before very long, according to a promise made by Senator Robinson to a mass meeting of l,.rXX) Independent merchants who went to Washington to lobby for the measure. This bill legislates against special prices, rebates, advertising allowances and brokerage fees giving sales advantage to chain stores. one-yea- Italo-Kthlopla- n peace.

Rack of the league's appeal was the standing threat of extension of sanctions to Include an embargo on oil This suddenly brougnt about a situation rather disconcerting for the league. Dr. Giuseppe Motta, Swiss foreign minister, gave a warning that If the oil embargo was applied his country might feel It necessary to leave the league In order to prfr serve Its neutrality If the consequent threatened war In Europe resulted. Motta pointed out that If Italy quit the league and hostilities ensued, Switzerland, through her membership In the league, would appear In Italian eyes as a party to a hostile coalition, and would be subject to invasion, by Italy on one side and perhaps by Germany on the'other: BRITAIN'S government evidently another war Is coming, and Intends to be well prepared.
