ECONOMIC HI GHLIGHTS Happenings That Affect the Dinner Pails, Dividend Cheeks and Tax Bills of tional and Internatio: Every Individual; Na- nal Problems Insep- arable From Local Welfare Up to a short time ago, it was ithe common belief that the pres- ent session of Congress would be short, sweet and snappy. This being a general election year, Congressmen were known to be chary of legisiative dramatics, sary business as soon as possible and go home for political fence-! building. Usual forecast was that Congress might adjourn in April,’ would certainly wind up its af- fairs early in May. i A delay in adjournment is now practically inevitable—and it is possible that “The Most Exclusive’ Gentlemen’s Club in the World” will still be in session when the bli: iz weather comes, First and most important of events to throw a monkey-wrench into the hitherto quiet running Congressional machine, was the’ President’s proposal for a tax on; | corporation reserves, designed to) made no | raise some $700,000,000 a year.) All informed observers know that new taxes are necessary—even, though the holders of lective, positions soft-peddle the fact when talking to the voters, and | speak vaguely of reductions in the| tax load. During recent years) only about 51 per cent of Fed-) eral expenditures have been paid commentators, who believe the; corporation j tax would endanger safety. General informed opinion is that a reserve tax will pass—but that its provisions will be soften-' |.wanted only to get through neces-|.ed, tenrpered and modified by Congress, Another event which is likely to cause an uproar in Congress, and; may result in long drawn out legal battles, lies in recent ac- tivities of the Comgnittee which is investigating lobbying activities! concerning the Public Utility Act] of 1935. This’Committee, headed by Senator Black of Alabama, se- cured from the telegraph com- panies copies of all wires sent by some 1,000 organizations and in- dividuals between February 1 and December 1. 1935. Whether these telegrams dealt with utility lob- bying or an invitation to dinner difference—everything the firms and persons involved sent over the wires was seized. It is estimated that the total num- ber of telegrams taken by the Committee runs past the 5,000,- 000 mark. Disclosure of this resulted in a terrifie wave of indignation, criticism and clenching of fists. Results is that suits are being | attractively beautiful sight. ‘BAND CONCERT j t ‘PROGRAM TO BE RENDERED AT BAYVIEW PARK BY HOSPITALITY BAND The program for the Key West Hospitality Band to be presented {Sunday afternoon at Bayview ; Park was announced today.
