As to what has transpired at these meetings we do not exactly know. No statements have been made either by members of the committee or the treasury which would give us any definite inâ€" sight into the proceedings and the plans. They have been strictly priâ€" vate conferences between the treasâ€" ury officials and the committee memâ€" bership. ‘The recent decline in business acâ€" tivity has focused public attention on the New Deal financing policies. The existing revenue laws are beâ€" ing subjected to a great deal of inâ€" creasing criticism. In the last few weeks there has been a growing deâ€" mand that something be done, We may be "on our way," but the peoâ€" ple are not so sure it is the "right way" when they experience a rising cost of living, slowing up of proâ€" duction, loss of jobs and increased rather than decreased unemployment There is, happily, a growing publc regognition of the relationship beâ€" tween Federal financial policies and the individual citizen, however poor or rich and whatever his occupation. A. "In breathless silence they stood before me, unable to utter a word, but with countenances beamâ€" ing with expression, which no words could expression, which no words could convey and no language can now describe." A. Phillips and Browne were known to be proâ€"slavery, Coles was obviously antiâ€"slavery, while Moore‘s sentiments were undeclared. Q. What was Coles‘ description of the freed Negroes‘ reaction to their emancipation ? Q. How did Coles provides for the future of the freed Negroes? Q. Who opposed Coles as candiâ€" date for Governor in 18227 THIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON by Ralph E. Church Illinois Representative in Congress It is not too much to hope that the public demand will become sufâ€" ficiently strong to force the Adminâ€" istration to discard some of its pet theories and take cognizance of the existing tax burdenâ€"Federal, State and local. The burden has been beâ€" coming so great and the inequities so pronounced, with the overlappings and ‘duplications, that it is becomâ€" ing almost impossible for our eco, nomic system to function normally. Q What humane act marked Coles‘ jouney into Iilinois? A. He freed his slaves as they proceeded down past Pittsburg on two flat boats. A. He gave each head of family 160 acres of land. Q. What position did Coles first hold in IMinois? A. He was appointed register of the land office by President Monroe at Edwardsville. A. Supreme Court Chief Justice Joseph Phillips, Associate Justice Thomas C. Browne,* and General James B. Moore. + s Q. How did the candidates stand on the slavery question? A. Coles, 2,854; Phillips, 2,687; Browne, 2,443, and Moore, 622. Q. What was the gubernatorial vote in 1822? What recommendations, if any, the treasury has made to the comâ€" mittee for revising our tax strucâ€" ture will probably not be known unâ€" til public hearings are held on the subject. In fact, we do not even know whether the ‘conferences will result in public hearings, It is simâ€" ply a matter of personal conjecture as to whether the Administration intends tosponsor amendatory tax legislation at the special or even the regular session of this Congress. Not altogether unrelated to these sessions of the House Ways and Means committee is the convening last week of the Social Security Adâ€" vistory Council to consider ible amendments to the Social mrlty Act to be taken up at the regular session of Congress next January. Officially they are separate and inâ€" dependent conferences. They are being held in different parts of the city. Yet they cannot be entirely disassociated on the theory that they are dealing with distinet subâ€" Nor is it too much to hope that the Ways and Means committee will study the whole subject and not simply present to the Congress anâ€" other bill which would represent nothing more than another "patch" in the "patchâ€"quilt" affair our taxâ€" ing system has gradually become. There is a relationship. ‘The Soâ€" cial Security taxes constitute a very substantial item in Federal revenue. It is estimated that by the end of the present fiscal year the Governâ€" ment will have obtained 1 billion 263 million from these sources. Out of each pay more than 25 million workers, in cooperation with their employers, pay the levy. If the present plans are carried out, withâ€" in the next few years the cash sent to Washington from these sources will approximate 3 billion a year. It is no small sum. Farâ€"sighted workers and progresâ€" sive employers believe in social seâ€" curity. They have no objection to making regular contributions to proâ€" vide for oldâ€"age pensions and unemâ€" ployment insurance. _ ‘Thoughtful men in a free country look to the future and cooperatively prepare for the future. But there is one phase ‘of the Social Security proâ€" gram as now being followed to which every worker should loudly object. I have no doubt that he will once he appreciates the fact that the money he sends to Washâ€" ington is being used daily to finance the Government spending spree. The awakening will give every worker a livelier interest in the condition of the Federal Budget. P THE GRADE "A" MILK OF SUPERIOR& ELlavor BOWMAN °A‘"*" €*EB PRESs This is what is happening: the soâ€" cial uurl?hnony flows into the treasury. Administration then issues notes against the fund and spends the money. By this means the New Deal has stopped borrowâ€" ing by ordinary bondâ€"issues to meet the budgetary deficit and uses inâ€" stead the social security fund. Thus the savings of the workers are being used to build battleships, pay the thousands of Government employees and take care of the numerous New Deal expenditures. * When the youngsters come. home from school or play, these delicious bars will quickly appease their apâ€" petites and renew their energy. Served with hot coffee or chocolate, the bars provide a delightful late evening refreshment after cards or conversation. It follows, therefore, that the Fedâ€" eral Government is becoming more and more in debt to every worker, The pathetic thing is that this same debt will be discharged by taxes in another form and the workers themâ€" selves will be paying off the debt owed them by their Government. It will amount to a doubleâ€"levy. With‘ crisp, cold winter days makâ€" ing hot drinks and spicy cookies most appealing, Walnut Molasses Bars become a special treat. Few cookies can equal their Tfragrance and flavor as they come freshly baked, right out of the oven. One of the favorable points about these bars is that the dough can be made up ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator to be baked on short notice. A This happens to be one of the feaâ€" tures of the Administration finaneâ€" ing policies to which the Ways and Means committee could well give atâ€" tention. It would make both for a sounder social security law and a sounder financial policy.
