NEW REVENUE BILL IS URGED BY MILLS Secretary Announces Fulli Approval of Measure, In- cluding Sales Tax. (Continued From First Page.) excise taxes on certain industries, La | Guardia asked: “Would it nct be possible to have a | vote on that section and if the manu factures tax is voted out of the bill, the Committce on then will take the bil into committee and bring back a substitute?” Acting Chairman Crisp replied “T do not think it would be edvisable to vote on the propssition of eimn ing the manufacturers tax until pos- sibly it may have been perfected. It may be amended in such way that thé House may desire to retain it or the House may not desire to retain it. but I will say that it is my intention, shculd that tax be eliminated, to have the Ways and Means Committee consider & plan to offer in substitution for it. For Balanced Budget. “I will further say for myself, it is| fmmaterial to me what plan is adopted that will raise sufficient money to bal-| ance the budget. I firmly believe it, is essential to do that. | “I am supporting and will support to | the extent of my ability, the bill which | the committes has brought out, because we believe it is the most equitable, just and fair way to accomplish the pur- Representative Rainey of Illinois, the Democratic leader, said he intended to tell the House that if the manufac- tures sales tax was not accepted. big direct taxes on industries would be torcea through because the cpposition wruld be compelled by their stand to vote for them. “Whatever happens, the people of the country can be assured that this Con- gress is not going to adjourn until a revenue bill is passed that will balance the budget,” he affirmed. Snell Sees Passage, Rainey was skeptical about full Democratic support, indicating that only about 40 per cent of his party would hew to the line. However, Rep- resentative Snell of New York, the Re- publican leader, predicted that “A ma- Jority of the Republicans will support the bill,” which would be enough to assure passage of the legislation by & bi-partisan vote. Secretary Mills told Speaker Garner at a conference at the Capitol that the bill was “wholly acceptable” to the Treasury. He also discussed the sit- uation with Snell and Crisp and then told newspaper men that “balancing the budget is the most important mat- ter before the country,” and added, “it will balance the budget.” Secretary Cites Deficit. In his radio address Secretary Mills eaid the Treasury would end the fiscal year 1932 on June 30 with a deficit of about $2.500,000,000 and that the P tive deficit for next year was $1,241,000,000 unless Congress in-| creased taxes. | “Our private credit structure is in- extricably bound to the credit of the United States Government,” Mills said. “Our currency rests predominantly upon the credit of the United States. Impair that credit and every dollar you handle will be tainted with suspicion. “The foundation of our commer- cial credit system, the Federal Reserve banks and all other banks which de- pend upon them is tied into and de- pendent upon the credit of the United States Government. Impair that credit today and the day after thousands of | development projects—they are still oing on—will stop; thousands of iness men dependent upon credit renewals will get refusals from their bankers; thousands of mortgages that would otherwise be renewed or ex- tended will be foreclosed; merchants who would buy on credit will cancel orders; factories that would manufac- ture on part-time capacity at least will close down. W¥rges Unimpaired Credit. “Impair the credit of the United States’ Government and all that we have sought to accomplish in the course of the last few months is to 8 large extent nullified. The renewed | oourage and confidence that have re- | placed the fear and uncertainty which prevailed almost universally, will once | more grow weak and hesitant. . . . “You cannot climb a hill without effort. You cannot throw off the burden of depression without feeling some weight. The country’s Representatives in Congress are facing & most exacting duty. Let the united voice of the de- termined and courageous assure them of full co-operation and support in car- rying out this essential task.” Huddleston took his colleagues by surprise when he advocated the sales tax and the necessity for balancing the budget and warned of serious con- sequences unless the deficit is wiped out. “I suppose men will say, ‘Oh, we can repudiate the public deb he said. *“Yes, we can demolish the Constitution. We can have political revolution. We can play hell generally, but show me the man who is willing to contemplate the full consequences which I have pointed out without taking some toll. ““We have to balance the budget.

And when he had completed his ex- of the tax bill snipers the members rose and cheered him. Indeed, his address was declared by supporters of the bill to have been of great assist= ance in mustering votes and in pre- venting the loss of votes of members who have been “wobbling.” Cites Neoed of Balancing Budget. Mr. Huddleston based his support of the tax bill and the manufacturers’ tax on the vital need of balancing the Government's budget and restor- ing the credit of the Nation. “I suppose. he said, “men will s ‘Oh, we can repudiate the public debt.” Yes, we can demclish the Constitution, we can have political revolution.

They are levied upon a man's needs and not upon his ability to pay. They violate every fundamental of taxation, but there is nothing new in the proposal to levy a sales tax. We have had a sales tax ever since 1867; a sales tax on to- bacco, a necessary of life, a thing which even the commonest and most ignorant man uses. “In that choice selection of fine spirits that meets daily in the Demo- cratic cleak room, known in the ver- nacular as the Demagogues’ Club, of which I am one of the oldest and most consistent members, we have had fre- quent discussions in the last few days about this bill. Our slogan is ‘Safety | First,” and living up to that slogan we have no difficulty whatever in decid- ing what is the vote to cast on this | bill, particularly as to the sales tax feature of the bill. “We have several sections of that club. Here is our farm section. They | are willing to vote for anything as long | as it does not take anything from their | constituents, but which gives them something all the time.” | Assails Farm Group of Club. | Referring to the farm section of the | “club,” he said: | “You took $500,000,000 of the peo- | ple's money belonging to all the peo- | ple and you put it in the hands of a board and you commissioned that board to juggle the market, to buy, to sell, to organize, to incorporate and to manipulate the prices of farm prod- ucts for the sole purpose of raising the price to every man, woman and child in the United States and now you holler ‘I will not put on a sales tax,’ yet you levied a sales tax which failed. You did your best to levy a sales tax | for the benefit of the farmers, the pro- ducers of just a few farm products.” “Then we have our oil friends. They say, ‘For God's sake do not vote a sales tax on the people, but vote a guty. or an excise tax, which is the same thing, ‘and lift the price of ofl coming into this country, so that our wells can reopen and so we can go ahead and extort more out of the people of the country, the consumers.’ “Then we have our beer group. They ‘We are unalterably opposed to a sales tax on the necessaries of life. Then they turn around and say beer is a necessary of life, and we want you to put in this bill a provision which will levy a tax on beer. Of course, they want that done on the theory that they do not expect a poor man to drink any beer, but that the beer tax is going to come out of the rich. Soldiers’ Group Gets Wallop. “Here is our soldier group. They are one of the biggesi greups we have. Let me say in passing that some of us be- long-to all of these groups and some of us just demagogue generally on anything that happens to come along. But here is the soldier group of the Demagogue Club. They are not willing to vote for a sales tax, which will put | money into the Treasury, but they are willing to take money out of the Treas- ury and give it to the soldiers y | are not willing to take $600,000,000 from | all the people of the country, as pro- | vided by this raring to people’s mr the soldiers “Let me say 1 am going to pay the Republican country.

By the Associated Press Shifting March winds fluttered the ensigns of every political camp last | week. They swept Pranklin D.

The wet leaders were talking last night about having 175 votes or possibly 180 in the House tomorrow when the roll is called on the motion to discharge. A majority of the House is 223. But if there should be many absentees when the vote is taken 175 or 180 votes cast solidly for the motion might make the result a near thing, The wets are counting on having their full strength present for the test What they hope is that enough mem- bers “on the fence” will simply stay away, and thus increase the proportion of the wet vote—even if it is not pos- sible to have the motion prevail. Representative Linthicum of Mary- land, the Democratic wet leader, dis- cussing plans for the debate and vote tomorrow, said that he would call up the motion to discharge as soon as the House meets at noon. Only 10 minutes’ debate on a side are permitted under the rules gf the House. Mr. Linthicum will speak for the motion, and probably will yield time to Representative O'Con- nor of New York, Democrat. It is ex- | pected that the argument for the mo- tion will be concluded by Representa- tive Beck of Pennsylvania, former solici- tor general of the United States and the leader of the Republican wets, Drys Are Undecided. On the dry side plans for handling the debate were still in the making Representative Blanton of Texas, an ardent dry, said that the drys in the House have no such organization as the “wet bloc" with its leaders. He said that doubtless many drys would like to cpeak, and that he certainly would seek recognition to make a speech.

There have been attempts to enter an independent | against President Hoover. but all have | fajled thus far.

May Intensify Drive. If the Republicans show a big vote for the motion to discharge and bring the wet resolution before the House, the drive for a resubmission plank in the Republican national platform will be intensified. The wets, in forcing this vote at this | time, have no hope whatever of bring- | ing about the adoption of the Linthi- cura-Beck resolution, which requires a two-thirds vote, and only the dimmest hope of adopting the motion to dis- charge the committee from considera- tion of that resolution. Tkeir real in- | tention, however, is to force all the members of the House to g0 on record on this quostion of resubmission of the eighteenth amendment at the present session of Congress and before they come up for renomination and re-elec- tion later this vear.

C, MARCH 13, DIXIE DEMOCRATS PROVE APATHETIC Roosevelt Seems First Choice of Southern States, With Baker Second. I | BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Special Dispatch 10 The Star. | SPARTANBURG, S. C, March 12— | | Political currents are not running very | | deeply this year in the South, judging | from what one finds in this State, which doubtless is typical of the region. i The interest in the outcome of the jDemocrauc presidential race is just as much characterized by unbounded curi- osity as in pre-convention days of other campaigns, but somehow there is not | the abiding conviction about the merit of candidates, nor is there any fecling that the men mentioned for the Demo- cratic race possess the attributes of a | Moses in these days of bewilderment and depression. | If anybody's name stands out. it is that of Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, who in the last few days es- | pecially has come to be looked upon as a more likely winner than anybody else —particularly since th= rather casual | attitude toward the contest which Al| Smith has displayed thus far is reflected | in the results of the New Hampshire | primaries. Baker Also Stands Out. The only other man who is talked | about very much is Newton D. Baker There is a distinct admiration for him here, as this might be said to be one of the old Wilson States, and there is no | doubt that the former Secretary of War in the Wilson cabinet is regarded as the natural heir of Woodrow Wil- son's prestige. Among the business men the mention of Mr. Baker evokes considerable interest, but the truth is neither the Roosevelt nor Baker boom has excited very much real activity, though each has his admirers and ag- gressive supporters. The most amazing thing is the apathy which exists. Presidential poli- tics has always brought its vital issues and has stirred up enthusiasm for can- didates, but this year reveals a passive attitude on the part of the rank and file that may or may not be significant | of the kind of national campaign the country is to witness. One explanation, of course, is that the Hoover administration has lost so much ground that the organization leaders of the Democratic party are taking it for granted that any Demo- rlrat nominated is sure to win the elec- tion. See Democratic Victory. ‘There is no urge, for instance, to see nominated some man of unquestioned executive ability or some one who shall | have this or that qualification essential to the economic recovery of the country. The point of view is merely that this is a Democratic year and that Pranklin | D. Roosevelt has been twice elected Governor of New York State, that he is not as wet as Al Smith or Gov. Ritchie of Maryland and that he is far in the lead in other States. It's a sort of band-wagon psychology, which usu- ally comes at convention time, but which has come much earlier in this race of 1932, If anybody in the North thinks the Roosevelt movement can be blocked b the tactics pursued thus far, namely, the projection of former Gov. Smith in the race, it has, of course, had no de- terrent effect down here, but rather has strengthened the Roosevelt chances. Unconvinced by Garner.
