Long and loud have been the wails in some sources at the National Industrial Recovery Act since its inception under the present Administration but definite indication that it has done in large measure what it proposed to do—stabilize and revitalize industry—is’ seen in the request of Presi- dent Roosevelt that it be re-enacted by the present Congress for one or two years more. Doubtless the NRA had its shortcomings as any legislation for the whole people rarely gives entire satisfaction to all. None can deny, however, that it has had an energizing effect on business gen- erally and helped bring the nation out of a sea of depression and stagnation which was virtual chaos. Government interference in private business has been its most vulnerable point but carried out as the Chief Exec e planned, with industry and business gradually putting its own house in order, eliminating cut-throat competition and maintaining a schedule of fair pr the NRA need no! be a burden nor an interference with private industry but rather the bulkwark of Government aid. The President’s request for its continuance at least another year after next June scheduled to expire is evidence the Administration is satisfied of the plan’s soundness but still feels that it is essential to help the road complete recovery. The man the broken does not throw his crutches aw fter the se day, but rather ne takes it slowly. He knows it takes time to mend and if he gained every day the time will when he well as ever. Business revival in this country is _going through such a stage. As the President well sees it is not yet time to abandon the crutches | although the patient is responding excellently treatment. Given a little more time to mend, with the crutches in the form of the National Industrial Recovery Act there to encourage and help, business will walk under its own power and with the zip and ginger of pufecl health, for smooth with i leg come Hawaii Wants Statehood. (Tacoma Ledger.) Samuel Wilder King, Territorial Delegate in Con- gress, is making a strenuous effort to have Hawaii admitted to Statehood and to confer upon the archipelago the honor of being the 49th sovereign | State of the Union instead of being, as the Delegate complains, “treated like a stepchild.” Hawaii has a population of in excess of 300,000, much greater than has been the populations of sev- eral of the Territories which have in the past been admitted to Statehood. During the past 35 years the islands have contributed to the Federal treasury approximately $150,000,000, much more than has been the rule with other Territories and larger than the contributions to the national good of several of the States long a member of the sister- hood of the Union. There are many reasons why Hawaii has a right to ask, even demand, Statehood and not many why it should be excluded from full participation in national affairs. To be sure Hawali is remote from our shores, but then it is an important army and naval station with national protection far superior to that accorded to many points upon the coast of continental United States, the Puget Sound re- glon as one example. The chief objection to the admission of Hawaii to the Union is its large alien, or Asiatic population. ‘That presupposes that the Asiatics in the islands are in advance, | cans — manner when it is g ,s/ment on the p to| indeed | | Japanese and other Asiatics in Hawaili—the Mexi- i Those States have found it possible to as- (similate this Mexican element of their populations |and there would seem to be no reason why Hawaii would not solve its citizenship problems in a similar A cardinal principie of Americanism is home rule | and the Territorial idea is not in consonance wlm‘ (true Americanism once the growth of populaton | jand demonstration of ability to tunport a Stahc, |Government have been given. ¥ ! Hawail and Alaska clearly have a right to rep- rpresentation in a full measure in the nation just as much as have several of the commonwealths now in full possession of the rights and privileges of Statehood. A FINE STAND. seneral Hugh S. Johnson earned a reputation for a lot of talking while he was the head of the NRA. Very often the loquacious General talked too much but everybody recognized he had a picturesque method of expression. Recently General Johnson was asked if he was going to accept a large job with some big bLusiness concern. While he admitted that he had been offered some jobs, General Johnson said that all wanted “to rest on NRA publicity and some idea of a pull in Washington.” The General revealed his character when he said that such offers “give me | a faint nausea.” | Tax Reforms. (New York Times.) A committee of the United States Chamber Commerce nas recommended certain changes Federal taxation which deserve the attention of| Congress. One is a restoration of the right of| closely affiliated companies to file consolidated ta: returns. The abolition of this privilege was opposed by the Treasury a year ago, on the ground that such | returns accurately reflect the true income position | of a corporation. The Chamber of Commerce com mittee reaffirms this argument, insistnig that a| group of affiliated concerns “is in substantially the ame position as is a single corporation with dif- |ferent deparmaents”—the variation being “one of | |fcrm and not of principle.” | The committee also urges repeal of the pro- |vision now requiring publicity for summary state- | ments of all income-tax payments. This requirement | a late addition to the present tax law, no| mmendation for publicity having been made in| » main report of the committee appointed by Con-‘ 5 to study ways of preventing “tax avoidance.” The publicity provision is of doubtful value as a| means of increa g tax receipts. An earlier iment with the same method, made by the re nue act of 1924, provoked such widespread resent art of those who believed that this| lent itself to exploitation that Con- | section of the law in 1926 | .ommendation in the present report ('q\ ly worthy of consideraticn. This is the 'prblm‘ull for a constitutional amendment whic [M.uld permit “non-discriminatory taxaticn recip- rocally between the Federal Government and |States on income derived from future issues of ‘,Lunu«-' made by public authority.” This pro-| posal to discon e the issuance of tax-exempt |securities is not new. It was recommended to XCOnflress nearly fourteen years ago by Secretary |Mclien. In a letter to the Chairman of the House Committee on Banking and Currency, he asserted |that “the ever-increasing volume of tax-exempt se-| curities represents a grave economic evil” In sup-| port of this opinion he cited three arguments. Such | | securities “encourage the growth of public indebt- |edness,” by making it easier for governments to borrow. They tend “to divert capital from productive | enterprise.” They also tend to make Federal sur-| taxes unproductive, by enabling “a very large class| of capital invesiments to escape their just share of taxation.” Each of these arguments is as pertinent today as it was when Mr. Mellon addressed it to a then | indifferent Congress. device merely |is If you don't believe in Providence, watch persons | on the highway and try to figure out what else 'saves them.—(Buffalo News.)
