Telegraphic summaries of yields from income tax returns which will be reported to the Treasury by next Tuesday will have much to do with shaping revenue legislation. Federal tax collectors will work their calculating machines at high speed so their bosses here will know how much the taxpayers will contribute for the^past calendar year. With thousands of political careers at stake, the legislative and administrative branches of the government are praying for a heavy crop of contributions. ^ The Shakespearian soothsayer who warned Julius Casear to beware of the "ides af March" has many followers ajnfong present-day political prophets. Concern over the back-fire from su£h drastic revision of tax laws as proposed by President Roosevelt. last week is apparent at Capitol Hili. Expediency requires legislation which will not figure unduly in the campaigns for re-election. The activ. ities of Senator Black's lobby commit, tee in grabbing private files of Administration critics and a tendency to regard the Roosevelt revenue suggestions as definitely anti-business *. ^ McHXNKT PLAINDEALEB Page Tsm two developments harassing veteran Democratic campaigners. They feel that the Republicans will eventually be handed deadly weapons. As a consequence, word has been passed that Congress, in its wisdom, will positive, ly cut a revenue garment differing from the designs sent up by the White House. It is hard to wield a tax axe on big corporations without hitting millions of stockholders and smaller business groups, who, collectively, represent an enormous voting strength. Political caution hints the need for postponing extensive alteration of income taxes until next year. Some Treasury experts are skeptical as to the estimated yield from increased taxes on liquors. It has been found that the consuming public \^hich paid bootleggers fabulous prices now manifest a change of heart and resent what they consider excessive taxes on liquor supplies. The resistance, to Canadian products was lowered when the reciprocity treaty eliminated the import taxes. ' Government tax officials realize the probebil. ity of a "buyers' strike," but they are desperately seeking additional sources of revenue. It is known that. 59 whiskey distillers, 38 rectifying plans and 7 genera! bonded warehouses are scheduled to begin . operations early this year, but this increased production may be kept from the market if taxes are boosted to unreasonable linjits. Pressure for adjournment immediately following enactment of tax legislation is growing. Therefore, spon. are • sors of other measures are working might and main in an effort to get their pet bills under the wire. Some solons make pilgrimages tk> the Whiter; House to plead f&r a Presidential favor „ to include their measures on "must" lists which are tantamount to a command. The anti-chain store bill in a modified form will probably pass without finding a place on the list. The bills to revive Federal control over wages and hours (outlined by the NRA decision last May) is a prospect. Hearings will be resumed March • j- •, 1®- 'dea back of this plan is to on individuals ^force compliance with NRA conditions on all government contracts, loans and grants. Just a sand-bagging stunt. No lead authority than W. H. Moran, chief of the United States Secret Service, says that criminality is increasing all along the line. It is estimated that counterfeiting and other crimes which are investigated by the Secret Service have increased fully forty per cent in the last four or five years. It is interesting to note that modern inventions such as photography have greatly increased the number of counterfeiting activities. Government secret agents are da|ly arresting amateur photographers with a Smattering knowledge of etch, ing ability and criminally inclined for their attempts to conterfeit currency or bonds. Check forgers have increased with the opportunities given through payment of relief njwxtey which keeps Federal agents on the jump to apprehend those who forge signatures. The percentage of fake coins minted is exceedingly low compared to the reproduction of paper bills. . Under the pressure of criticism, as to politics involved in the Works Progress Administration relief activities, this Federal agency is now pub. licizing data on the percentage of Federal money spent for highways, roads and buildings in various states. According to the publicity statements this type of project consumes about fifty percent while the otiier money is spent for houses, parks, playgrounds, flood control and other conservation. The official explanations of expenditures attempt to stress the fact that womenc, and white collar and professional and technical unemployed are not overlooked, although the bulk at the money is received by the laboring classes. Legislators seeking re-election are taking these figures and interpreting according to Uie political needs in their bailiwicks as a means of developing support from the voters.
