Says Official Election to Have Only Two Real Candidates Byt when you come to think about it this method of disposing of public men does not make much sense There are going to be two real candidates for election next November That is to say two candidates who hope to be elected This leaves out Mr Thomas who will also be on the ballot For Mr Thomas is not a candidate He is conducting an eloquent and amiable Chautauqua lecture campaign Now about everyone who votes is going to vote for one of the two candidates And that means that anyone who votes for either of them is going to be voting with a whole lot of voters whose views he does not in the least admire There Is no escape from it Under a system practically every voter la bound to find himself In the company of sorts of people of whom he deeply disapproves There are going tobe millions of us who vote as Dr Tqwnsend votes millions of us who'yote as" Mr Hearst votes millionS' who vote as Mr Hoover votes millions who vote as Tammany Hall

preferred not to be quote directly told the United Press that "the rule of reason” would be applied in im posing the proposed 90 per cent ‘windfall" tax on unpaid or re funded processing levies under the Invalidated AAA His observation came after a group of small packers paraded before the house ways and means committee considering the administration’s new tax bill all chanting the same doleful cry— “Kill this tax or you kill us” Full Tax Group For the most part they faced the powerful tax group figuratively with their hats in their hands plead' ing for' a chance to continue in business Each witness was assured that the government had no intention of trying deliberately to ruin him and that he need Only show that he absorbed the amount of the tax to escape the new levy completely It also was made clear to the witnesses however that where it is obvious that the amount of the processing tax has been passed on to the consumer the government proposes to get its share of the refunded or unpaid levies Even in these instances jt was stated the government Is not disposed to insist upon its "pound uf flesh” if in so doing individual enterprises will be crushed "Ruination of business—big or little — isn’t part of our program” the federal official said "The ‘rule of reason' will be applied” Submits Figures As proof he pointed to the fact that processors withheld through court action or were refunded nearly $250000000 when the supreme court scuttled AAA but the most liberal estimates of the amount the government expects to recapture place this figure at $100000000 "'Does that look like we expect to put processors in a vise and squeeze them?” the official asked Statistics of the department of agriculture show that processors of wheat "hogs and cotton profited the most on Invalidation of A A A Processing taxes withheld by court action include: Hogv$79 258 79553 wheat $6644419721 cotton rice $332243024 corn in Temple Square to Hear Broadcast of Services Belief that
