His name will mean little to anyone except the rather circle of wide y Swartyi" friends and busl-Stor- ness associates who admire his courage and thrift. Since there are hundreds of thousands like him in this country, I will Identify him by his nickname "Swarty." I have known him some ten or eleven years as a friend and a neighbor, a fellow who could be properly called the salt of the earth. Swsrty's story is most interesting because it illustrates a condition. He was the son of a country doctor. In his early twenties, he beHis came a traveling salesman. personality and his ability carried above the ranks of the average r-taker. He saved his money. He and his wife inherited a few thousand dollars each from their respective fathers. Swarty went into business for himself here in Washington. The business prospered to the extent that Swarty had built up a backlog of savings as a reserve and had bought his own home, a modest place. They are a happy little family and in that as well they are like hundreds id thousands of others in this country. There came the depression of seven years ago. Sales by Swartys little plant declined. He kept his ten employees on the rolls, however, as long as he could. The drain became too much and he had to reduce the payroll; indeed, he had to draw on the backlog. After nearly five years, things began to pick up. He started again to restore the reserve so that there could be something on which to draw again if business was slack. But almost simultaneously, Swarty found a lot of new taxes coming in the front door. One of them was the ridiculous levy that said in effect that he could not build up that backlog again because if he did he would have to share the excess with the federal government There had been some other taxes before that one, but it was the most disastrous in its effect There were other taxes after the surplus earnings tax. too. until lately he told me that he was paying nine different taxes each month, and each year he has to pay an Income tax on the salary that he allows him- self for managing the business and. besides all of these, he has the strictly local taxes of the District orde- Pattern 5676. less durability.

Swarty recounted the details of .tie own business to me about the time that the great Westinghouse :orporation of Pittsburgh made pub-ti- c its tax story. In substance and n brief, Westinghouse pointed out that its tax obligations had from around two million lollars eight years ago to something jver sixteen million dollars in federal payments in the last year. In die years 1335, 1936 and 1937, the axes paid by Westinghouse were leld tu have been sufficient to have maintained about 6,500 additional workers un the payroll I know that someone will retort that a great corporation like Westinghouse ought to pay big taxes. There can be no doubting the truth 3f' that assertion. But there is a much graver condition shown by exposition of the tax affairs of the aig business of Westinghouse and Swsrty's little business. The only difference between the problems of the two Is that Swarty, little fellow," is not aeing a slapped and cuffed and called crooked by the demagogues. Swsrty's government Is doing to him, however, exactly what is being done to Westinghouse by same authority.

Indeed, I feel more and more that If we have a ship of state, it is leaking so badly that half of the taxes collected flow into the ocean of ineffectiveness and economic waste. The condition obtains from the day-by-d- years the White House in Washington. We are into a new session of congress this week, the regular annual session. The extra Congreve session that met Back November 15 amidof a great deal ballyhoo as to what it would accomplish has gone into history. It left a record of which no one can be proud. But that's gone by and the new session is starting with a fine field waiting for cultivation except that 435 members of the house and senators face primaries some and elections. That fact alone provides the answer to many things you will see unfolded in the next four or five or six months. The boys will play politics aplenty. But before we go into that, let us examine the little game of politics which President Roosevelt has Initiated. I think it cannot be gainsaid that the President has tossed a very hot potato into the lap of congress. Some time ago, it will be recalled, the President said with emphasis that the budget must be balanced this year that spending of government money must not exceed the income as it has done now consistently for seven years. There much applause of that pro- nouncement at the capitol. It seems, however, they are laughing out of the other side of their mouth now because suddenly the politicians discovered that if the budget were brought into balance, great gobs of political pap, patronage and projects would have to be eliminated. There was a reaction to the President's statement Mr. Roosevelt very promptly said, in effect Well, boys, if we cut down spending we How have to start somewhere. about cutting off a couple of hundred millions from the federal contribution for road building," and a howl went up to the skies. Quit building roads, never! So the Presir dent tried again. Lately, he has sent a letter to Representative Cartwright Oklahoma Democrat saying that if Mr. Cartwright did not want his committee to act on the road fund curtailment congress and its individual members would have to take the responsibility when the budget shows up out of balance. I suppose there could be a slowing down in road building, but members of the house tell me there are hundreds of other places where spending could be reduced without harming a permanent national policy. There will be much hauling and filling but if congress really wants to curb spending, let it give a few minutes look at the things discovered by Senator Harry Byrd, the Virginia Democrat, and his investigating committee. That committee brought forth information, am informed, as to how half a billion dollars of New Deal experiments could be eliminated and our United States would never miss a single one of them. (I do not mean the patronage boys on the payrolls, Of course, they would miss their soft jobs.) To get back to the hot potato, however, the President has told congress in effect to sort out the things it would kill and pass the legislation that would eliminate the spending and bring a balanced budget By so doing, he has dodged ail of the backwash from local politicians of his own machine and has made the representatives and senators the goats in front of their own people. doubly stirring because we know it Is based on fact Joel McCrae and Frances Dee are the principals In the Interwoven romance, and Bob Burns steps out of character to play a stalwart of the early West Bet- of l 30-o- fuel, or causing any gas to escape into the basement.

Its very important to bear in mind where these dampers are located. The check damper should be between the chimney and the turn damper, the latter being between the check damper and the furnace.
