Althoff Hdwe. Main Street West McHenry ed typical. t'.at Mr. Roosevelt has placed them in an untenable position for the existing law leaves no loop-hole. The allocation of 214 millions of Federal road fund? on January 1, is mandatory and the wailing crew insist the Chief Etfexutive knew from the outset that his economy measure was impracticable. However, the seemingly innocent proposal left the Congress, and not Mr. Roosevelt, o» the defensive in any explanation to the public for failure to economize in public expenditures. On the plea that the time is - too short to permit a practical revision of revenue laws, the House Ways and Means Committee will do nothing more j than continue its study at this session. Appeals for quick relief from j a few of the many taxes now burdenj ing business have so far fallen on deaf I ears. They say it is not that the solons are lacking* in sympathy or blind j to the needs of the situation, but claim ! time is required in the complicated j work of reform. Firm in their convic- [ tion that Congress could pass a resolu tion within a few days postponing the compilation of tax returns for 60 or 90 days (until the tax relief bill could be made to apply to the calendar year of 1937), certain groups at the Capitol advocate an emergency resolution. Unless the President supports it the proposal is nothing more than a wish. Flans of a Constitutional amendment to eliminate tax-exempt securities are not worth consideration. State, county and municipal authorities have a parsuaaive way to protect one means of public financing1. A general salei tax is not popular. The petition by which 218 House members circumvented the parliamentary blockade of the wage and hour bill by the Rules Committee did not ease the situation. Instead the action brought an avalanche of protests and suggestions for amendments, which has the Capitol Hill boys walking on red coals. The debate, which opens December 13, is expected to bring a cross-fire of section issues to the surface. Organized labor wants drastic changes, organized farmers and business groups want the bill modified or defeated; .Southern industrial groups are definitely on the warpath for the scalps of their legislators who vote for the measure and the sponsors are worried that signers of the petition to bring the bill to the House floor will backslide and nullify the whole scheme. With the Bureau of Labor Statistics showing that more than 48 percent of unskilled workers in the South receive less than the minimum pay of 40 cents per hour prescribed by the measure as against three percent in Northern states, colleagues from the North are obviously not in the eood graces of their militant Dixie brethern as they push the Administration wage and hour plan.r. Congressional cloak-room chit-chat of the week involves expressions of concern as to how far the Federal Securities Commission will go toward stringently regulating the stock exchange; sentiment within the Commission is for a system giving investors rather than professional speculators control over security exchanges; a chuckle over the President's comment irv. his road fund curtailment message that enough good roads have been built--When on the same day Mrs. Roosevelt was snagged in a boggy dirt road while on tour; what new policies could be developed to keep idle capital profitably employed when reports of 49 1-fiding life insurance companies show an increase in assets this year amounting to one- and one-third billion dollars; wonder as to how far labor unions will go to spread work at lower wage rates to make the proposed housing plan a success; astonishment that a survey showed 80 percent of trailers are now used as permanent homes instead of houses; and whether to vote a special allowance to themselves for mileage for the spe* cial session.
