The Temporary National Economic Committee is conducting hearings on barriers to trade between states. Reports have been received from various government agencies studying the problem. State governments in competition for revenue have levied all sorts of taxes on merchandise produced in other commonwealths particularly those borne by highway transport. Interstate trade agreements have not solved the issue. A report from the Interstate Commerce Commission on the question of transportation subsidies has created much furore in undercover channels. The study required the services of many experts and will cover four printed volumes. It is said that an effort will be made to delay publication until the vexing transportation bill now in conference has been passed by the Senate and House. Meanwhile, the railroads, the railway unions, shippers and investors are on their toes as to the possible effect the official report will have on Federal policy- making. Endorsement of a suggestion of the: National Resources Committee by the American Federation of Labor for a ten billion increase in purchasing power has provoked widespread comment among economists and politicians. The A. F. of L. is interested because the plan, if adopted, would require an average six per cent increase in the yearly income of all employed. To reach the average it would probably be necessary to make a wage increase of much more than six per cent and the creation of approximately 2,- 700,000 new jobs. According to the Federation's economists "with the %ix per cent wage increase these jobs would yield an average income of ' $1,882 per year, or a total increase in workers' income of $3,730,000,000. A six per cent wage increase to workers already employed would raise their total income by $2,570,000,000. These two items together add to make a total increase in workers' income of $6,300,000,000." The trade union says, "we may assume that a $6,300,000,000 rise in workers' incomes will be accompanied by a $3,800,000 rise in all other in-1 comes, making a total increase of slightly oyer $10,000,000,000 in our! national income, arising from the pro-: duction increases outlined above." It' is their contention that an agreement i to increase production by the neces-' sary amounts could bp made by JJer-1 sons authorized to represent workeTHyj business rxecutives and consumers in the industries concerned. Such an) agreement would have to safetnnrd i against price increases and establish j measures to assure compliance. The ! idea is traced hack to a study by the i National Resources Committer show-1 ing what coyld be done if our national j income was raised to eighty billions. SUFFERS BROKEN HIP After returning from church last Thursday night, Mrs. Fred P. Freund slipped and fell on the slope leading to her home at Johnsburg and suffered a broken hip as a result.

Their brief visits to the galler ies during the sessions leaves them as befuddled as the lawmakers them selves who are struggling through a stormy session with an eye on the elections. Many solons realizing the effect of the youngsters' word pic tures to the folks back home are bending over backwards to be nice to youthful delegations from their dis tricts. The boys and eirls leaving high school this year will be voters of tomorrow ?o cultivation of their friendship is essential to those making politics a career. r The touring parties heard many speeches this week 'about purity in politics, the need for economy in government exenditures and ottf?^ high political ideals. The next day"or two the visitors learned that much of the talk was idle for in actual voting the majority of legislators put crimps in attempts to reach these laudable objectives. The Hatch Act revision has boereed down through inclusion of amendments which may make it dif ficult for the House to accept the Sen ate version. The policy of thrift in «"wernmf»nt expenditures has been discarded for ea°ier soendinir ostensibly to help the farmer and. of cours effectively wreck the budget-balancing promised earlier in the season. The American Congress is never consistent. While making a great show at saving the taxpayer's money through curtailed appropriations for other government departments, the House and Senate are mighty free in allotting money for the legislative establishment. The House voted for a legislative expenditure of $23,907,744 for the next fiscal year, a figure which does not include special investigations and other costly excisions. They did r>ot he'ieve economy preaching applied to themselves for they voted an increase of $626 000 over the present year. In an attempt to justify their [ own lavishness, the House contended j that based on total expenditures for | the next fiscal year of eight billions the twenty-four million Congress soends on its own affairs was only Jthree-tenths of one per cent. The House "saved" by eliminating neces- | sary repairs to the many buildings | about*tb? Capitol grounds, but at the s»>me time authorized hundreds of thousands for extra clerk hire.
