In all of the plans for taking the profit out of war there appear suggestions for a 90-per- gent tax of all profits above the level estab- Hshed in peace time. IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS NOT A PRO- POSAL TO TAKE ALL OF THE PROFIT OUT OF WAR, BUT MERELY A PART OF IT. That provision should have no support from the fathers and mothers of lads who would be galled upon to fight in the event of another war. If we are to deal fairly with both the living and our cherished dead we should take ALL the profit out of war. If our congressmen are sincere in their pro- testations, they should enact a law that, upon the declaration of war, income taxes should| | absorb all but a very modest sum of the total] | income of every citizen. When the nation is fighting for its life is no time to think of indi- vidual profits. It would be sound national defense, too. If the professional patrioteers back home found their pocketbooks pinched at the same time our sons were spilling their blood at the front, the urge to get the war over with would be uni- versal, No one would have the right to complain about such a system, least of all the profiteers of the last war who even yet are trying to jus- tify the profits built upon the blood and tears of a nation. Counter Barrage Reference recently was made is this column to the barrage of propoganda loosed by utilities interests against the proposed federal law to abolish holding com- Danies from this field. It ts continuing, but offsetting it now is counter barrage from Washington, The opening gun was the President's message to congress in which he assailed the @ampaign then under way by the bill’s enemies, Gupplementing the president’s broadside comes a 34-page document from the National Power Policy com- By HERBERT PLUMMER Washington—Talk of @ third party in 1936, while still more or less nebulous, has taken on a new meaning in view of recent developments in Washington, Politicians and political analysts point to several things which they believe is indicative of the trend in this direction. While they are quick to say it is highly improbable the opposition to President Roosevelt will become formidable enough to endanger his leadership or chances for re-election, should the economic situa- tion grow worse anything might happen. They point to the following as sign posts: The incessant hammering of the administration by Huey Long. ‘The new insurgent movement in the house promoted by Progressives from the northwest. Dissatisfaction among Progessives in the senate over the contest to unseat Bronson Cutting of New Mexico, which they believe has administration support, eee M’CARL-SWANSON FEUD President Roosevelt's decision to support Secretary Swanson of the navy in his squabble with Comptroller General McCari over traveling expenses of dependents of naval officers ordered home for retirement is the most recent cause of discord. McCarl is a protege of Senator Norris of Nebraska, leader of the Progressives in the senate, Norris already has come to bat for McCarl and is prepared to go even | |further for him. The amount of money involved in the Swanson-McCarl feud is insignificant, but Norris and other Progressives contend the comptroller is an agent of congress whose function it is to “check” on the ex- penditures of the executive branches of the government. | | They fear a breakdown of the whole system if McCarl is not sustained. ‘These are instances that congress is becoming rest- less and is not so unitedly behind the administration as in the last session. It is in such an atmosphere talk | | of a third party usually flourishes, ees REPUBLICANS WATCHING ‘The Republicans have assumed an attitude of watch- ful waiting. They are doing everything they can to hinder the administration without being openly charged with obstruction tactics. G. O. P. leaders admit privately their strategy is to lie low and wait for a break, Continued assaults on the administration by the radicals, such as Long, and failure of recovery policies may, in their estimation, lead to a three-cornered contest in 1936 similar to that in 1912, with the Democrats on the losing end this time. ‘There have been rumors, impossible of verification, that the Louisiana “kingfish” and Governor Olson, Farmer-Labor chief executive of Minnesota, have been discussing the third party idea. Gossip is to the effect these two would set themselves up as centers around whom could be combined all the dissatisfied elements into a new party in 1936, ° = | Brtind the Scenes | | in Washington | — span | ®: ee Washington, March 20.—The factors behind the ex- pected appropriation of a billion dollars to maintain the army and the navy through the next fiscal year are never discussed here—publicly, Privately, of course, one hears plenty. As far as the navy goes, all the whispers about its expansion are concerned with Japan. But while con- gress was debating approval of an increase of the army by 47,000 men, the word went around that this was a measure of preparation against possible domestic trouble, meaning riots and strikes. Even the most wistful army officer hardly hopes ever to land his troops on Japanese soil. But for years the war department has harbored @ quaint notion that the country is on the verge of some violent uprising such as is invisible to most civilians, Naval officers, on the other hand, usually talk as if they were sure to bombard Japanese shores sooner or later. They really know better, since no navy now within the range of contemplation can cross the Pacific and mop up. The distance is too great. eee A GAME OF BLUFF ‘You have to have friends in the state department to really get the point. Then realization begins to dawn that a large hunk of our foreign policy is just a game of bluff with Japan, This year's navy maneuvers in the direction Japan will be part of the game.

WE DO NOT OBJECT TO A FAIR AND CONSTRUCTIVE BILL.” ‘Mr. Ickes introduces not only a new note but a brand new idea and new language. In his comment on the concentration of economic power in the hands of a few persons who control these holding companies, even though little of their own money is invested, we find this choice bit: “Such intensification of economic power beyond the point of proved economies not only is suscepti- ble of grave abuse but is @ form of PRIVATE SO- CIALISM inimical to the functioning of democratic institutions and the welfare of a free people.” grimmer the administration girded for its second test on the “pre- vailing wage” amendment to the works bill. Huey Long complained that his friends, Coarey and Overton, who were ill, couldn't get pairs at all. But the plight of Jim Davis of Pennsylvania, who favored “prevailing wage,” was worse. He had left a pair with Logan of Kentucky, administration Democrat, and went off for an operation at the Mayo clinic in Rochester, Minn. While he lay on his back recovering, Logan wired $3,700,000 MAY BE DISTRIBUTED AMONG SCHOOLS UNDER LAW Bill Passed by Legislature Transfers Monies From Hail Surplus Fund Editor's note: This is one of a series of stories explaining laws passed by the 1933 state legisla- ture.) More than $3,700,000 may be dis- tributed to schools of the state for the biennium through the recently re- established state equalization fund. Two important changes are made in the new bill which was passed by the last legislature. Under the old law disposition of funds were 50 per ent on the basis of need and 50 per cent on the basis of census enumera- tion in the school district. Only a direct appropriation of $200,- 000 was made for the fund.
