DADE COUNTY TIMES: MAY 9, 1935
The plan as outlined by Mr. Mnrgen-
thau is to impose graduated Inheritance
taxes on estates, with rates following
those of the present income tax rates,
which approximate GO per cent on in¬
comes of a million dollars or more.
The present estate taxes have a max¬
imum of GO per cent over ten million
dollars.
Thus there would first be a tai of
60 per cent upon the estate or gift,
and then another tax of 00 per cent
to be paid by those inheriting or re¬
ceiving it. This would amount to a
combined rate of 85 per cent on an
esiate of one hundred million dollars.
If all this money were handed out
to the poorer people, even Huey Long
might be satisfied.
pLANS for spending the $4,880,000-
* 000 work relief fund are being made
rapidly, parts of the general scheme
being revealed to tiie public almost
every day. The Presi¬
dent will be the final
arbiter but practically
all the federal agen¬
cies will participate
and three new ones
have been announced
by Mr. Roosevelt These
will handle rural re¬
habilitation, rural elec¬
trification and grade
crossing elimination.
Standing at the Frank Walker
President’s right hand
Is Frank C. Walker, former treas-
urer of the Democratic party. He has
replaced Donald Richberg a4 chairman
of the National Emergency council and
is the head of a new division In that
body known as the division of applica¬
tion and information. Under his direc¬
tion all proposals will be sorted out
and data on them from various gov¬
ernment units will be co-ordinated.
Then they will be handed on, with
Mr. Walker’s recommendations, to a
new works allotment board which Is
headed by Secretary Harold Ickes.
These two additions to the alphabet
groups in Washington are known as
DAI and WAR.
Mr. Roosevelt also announced tiie
appointment of Federal Relief Admin¬
istrator Harry L. Hopkins as chief of
a works progress division. He will
pick workers, fix wages, purchase ma¬
terials and generally supervise proj¬
ects.
In a press conference the President
named these eight types of work which
will be undertaken, with the amount
of money to be spent on each:
1. Highways, roads, streets, grade
crossing elimination, and express High¬
ways, $800,000,(KK).
2. Rural rehabilitation, relief In
stricken agricultural areas, water con¬
servation, water diversion, Irrigation,
reclamation, rural industrial communi¬
ties, and subsistence homesteads, $500,-
000.000.
3. Rural electrification, $100,000,000.
4 Housing, low cost housing in rural
and urban areas, reconditioning, and
remodeling, $450,000,000.
5. Assistance for educational, pro¬
fessional, and clerical persons and
other “white collar” unemployed, $300,-
000 , 000 .
6. Citizen Conservation corups, $600,-
000.000.
7. Sanitation, soil erosion, stream
pollution, reforestation, flood control,
rivers and harbors, $350,000,000.
8. Loans, grants, or both, to cities,
counties, states, and oilier political
subdivisions for public works, $900,-
000 , 000 .
The rural rehabilitation work will
he directed by Rexford G. Tugwell, un-
der-secretnry of agriculture, and he
will not be responsible to Secretary
Wallace but will have a free hand to
carry out his schemes for moving fam¬
ilies from marginal lands, shifting
stHhuied rural communities and build¬
ing cities outside of large urban cen¬
ters to relieve slum congestion.
Appointment of Mr. Walker leaves
Mr. Richberg free, ns tiie President
said, to devote his time to the NRA
during tiie period of pending legisla¬
tion In congress and litigation in the
Supreme* court
FT A VINO listened to Senator Long

who do not like the administration and
Its New Deal and also have little love
for the G. O. P., the
National Farmers’ Hol¬
iday association, in
session at Dos Moines,
Iowa, decided that a
third national political
party should b c
formed.
Miio Reno, national
president of the asso¬
A rt ' elation, had a lively
encounter with a group
“• pf a iieged Communists
Milo Reno during a business ses¬
sion. They sought adoption of a reso¬
lution calling for legislation for “re¬
lief without debts,” “production credit
without strings,” and immediate re¬
peal of the AAA. Reno denounced
them as Wall Street racketeers and
henchmen of Soviet Russia.
“You can’t talk. You can’t argue.
Don’t try to get the floor. I’m running
this meeting,” Reno said. “Sit down
and shut up. Get out before we get
really mad.”
D KPUBLICANS of nine midwestern
states who met at Excelsior
Springs, Mo., decided that the “grass
roots" conference of leaders of the
party should be held in Springfield. Ill,
the date to be fixed later, though it
probably will be early in June. The
purpose of tills gathering will be the
rejuvenation of the party and the
launching of a campaign to restore
popular government. The nine states
participating, which will name dele¬
gates, are Illinois, Iowa. Indiana, Min
nesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri,
Wisconsin and Oklahoma.

ROOSEVELT’S RADIO CHAT IS OP-
TIMISTIC—VIEWS OF BUSI-
NESS LEADERS.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
e Western Newspaper Union.
f TIGH optimism marked (be "fireside
*1 chat” which President Roosevelt
delivered over the radio to tlie people
of America, which people, he said, are.
as a whole, “feeling a
lot better—a lot more
cheerful than for
many, many years.”
He asserted we are
already on the unmis¬
takable march toward
recovery, and told how
he means to promote
the return to normal
conditions with his
works relief program.
President He promised to put to
work three and a half
Roosevelt million persons now
on the relief rolls, and to press for en¬
actment of legislation he considers nec¬
essary for carrying on the New Heal.
Only once did Mr. Roosevelt allude
to such critics of his administration as
Senator Long, Father Coughlin and
Governor Talmadge. He said:
“The overwhelming majority of peo¬
ple in this country know how to sift
the wheat from the chaff in what they
hear and what they read. They know
that the process of the constructive re¬
building of America cannot he done in
a day or a year, but that it is being
done in spite of a few who seek to con¬
fuse them and to profit by their con¬
fusion.”
These six “fundamental principles,”
said tiie President, must guide the
work relief program: Projects must
be useful, most of the money must go
for tabor, “a considerable proportion of
the costs” must he returned to the
treasury, only those projects which can
employ persons on relief will be ap¬
proved, and projects will be approved
in a given area in proportion to the
unemployed in that area.
Admitting that graft will creep Into
such vast arid speedy spending as his
program calls for, the President asked
citizens to help him make tikis “the
most efficient and cleanest example of
public enterprise the world has ever
seen” and thus to give “a smashing an¬
swer for those cynical men who say
that a democracy cannot be honest and
efficient.”
| •L* EOISLATION which the President
said, in his radio talk* should be
enacted by congress immediately in¬
cluded the old age ami unemployment
insurance bill, the NRA extension bill,
the public utility holding company bill,
the transportation control bill, and the
banking bill.
Here be comes into conflict again
with the views of business leaders of
the country. The National Association
of Manufacturers has Just Issued its
economic analysis of conditions, which
says recovery is “within our grasp”
ami that tiie nation is closer to break¬
ing the back of the depression than
at any time for years, but a-hs that,
in order to stimulate business, tlie ad¬
ministration and congress temporarily
shelve as “disturbing" such legislation
ns unemployment Insurance, the omni¬
bus banking bill, tiie utility holding
company bill, the .'{0-hour work week,
the Wagner labor disputes hill, the Guf¬
fey bituminous coal measure and pro¬
posed changes in railroad laws.
Of tled-up capital, the analysis said
tliis:
"Surveys indicate that close to $20,-
000,000,000 in expenditures, which
would give employment to 4,000,000
men for two years, is pent up in tin*
field of factory expansion, renovation
and rehabilitation alone.
“The release of tins flow of private
capital by removing political uncer¬
tainties would dwarf tiie billions ap¬
propriated by congress for relief and
make unnecessary fhe expenditure of
much of the taxpayers’ money."
This document was given out as the
members of the United States Cham¬
ber of Commerce were gathering in
Washington for their twenty third an
uual convention, and naturally their
speakers endorsed it and attacked
much of tin* proposed legislation men¬
tioned as unwarranted intrusion of the
government into business.
Henry I. Hurrimun, who has been
president of tiie organization for three
years, retired from that office in favor
©f Harper Sibley of Rochester, N. Y.
Tiie new president is banker and a
farmer on a big scale.
f T OW the New Dealers propose to
“• •* redistribute wealth by double tax¬
ation of large estates is revealed by
Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthair
In a letter to Senator
Pat Harrison, chair¬
man of the senate fi
nance committee. Mr
Morgenthau outlines a
plan of imposing in
heritance taxes and
also retaining the ex¬
isting estate taxes, as
serting this Is in line
with "our fundamental
objectives.” That this
would result In the Secretary
dissolution ot large Morgenthau
properties, the secre¬
tary recognizes, for he says:
“To prevent the necessity of hasty
liquidation of large properties in order
lo pay the tax, it might be provided
that inheritance taxes be payable in
a convenient number of installments.”
fXRGANIZED labor opened Its at-
tempt to obtain recognition In the
automobile Industry with a strike of
workers in the Toledo plant of the
Chevrolet Motor company. The fac¬
tory was closed down immediately,
though only a part of the force Joined
in the strike. Union pickets were
placed about it, but city police and
deputy sheriffs were on hand to see
that there was no disorder.
President Sloan of General Motors
corporation Issued this statement in
New York:
"The vital question involved is
whether General Motors corporation is
willing to sign an agreement for a
closed shop recognizing tiie local union
as the exclusive representative of all
the employees of the Toledo plant.
This General Motors will not do.”
The union, in a lengthy statement,
said its committee "has done every¬
thing in its power to meet with the
management and to secure an amicable
ami fair adjustment of the matter of
wages, hours and uniun recognition
and various other grievances.
“The management refused to sign a
contract of any kind and flatly refused
every section of the proposed contract
with the exception of two minor points.”
The company offered to make wage
readjustments and give a 5 per cent
general wage increase, show no dis¬
crimination against union men, and
agreed to lespect seniority rights as
provided by the automobile labor board.
Leo C. Wollman, chairman of the
National Automobile Labor board, re¬
ported that that body had completed
a canvass of 163,150 workers in Amer¬
ican automobile plants and found
that 68.6 per cent of them showed no
affiliation with any labor organization.
The various employees’ associations
grouped together ranked second with
21,774 members, equal to 13.3 per cent
of tiie total. The American Federation
of Labor was third with 14,057, or 8.6
per cent, while the Associated Automo¬
bile Workers of America were fourth
with 6,083, or 3.7 per cent.
p i ;n. W. W. ATTERBURY, veteran
v_J official of the Pennsylvania rail¬
road, has retired as president of the
company eight months before that
would have been nec¬
essary under its regu¬
lations, because of ill
health. The directors
unanimouly e 1 ected
Martin W. Clement to
succeed him. The new
president of the great
system was born 53
years ago in Sun bury,
Pa., and entered the
service of the road in
1901 as a rodman. His
M. W. Clement promotion was steady
and nine years ago he became the vice
president.
General Atterbury had this to say
of his successor:
“Since he became vice president,
Clement has been intimately associated
with me in conducting the company’s
affairs and in our relations with tiie
other railroads and with the govern¬
ment.
“The remarkable results achieved
by the company last year, one of the
most difficult periods the railroad has
ever experienced, were largely due to
Clement’s leadership. His manifest
capabilities have commended him not
only to his associate directors and offi¬
cers, but also to the executives of
other railroads with whom he has been
working in recent years in the interest |
of tiie railroad industry as a whole. I
“Moreover, he enjoys the confidence, I
respect and co-operation of the entire
Pennsylvania railroad organization.” !

GERMANY’S latest breach of the !
vJ treaty of Versailles, the building
of submarines, is stirring up a lot of -|
angry talk In Great Britain, France
and Italy. The English are especially
disturbed, for they remember only too
vividly how near the Germans came
to starving them during the war by
the destruction of shipping by the un¬
dersea boats. Anglo-German conversa¬
tions on navai restriction were to
have been held In London the second
week in May, and these may now be
called off or at least postponed.
The French are less vexed because
they think the development may force
a showdown on the whole status of the
German navy and Hitler’s demand for
at least 35 per cent of the British ton¬
nage and approximate parity with
that of France. Naval experts in
Paris said the disclosure might “well
prove of Inestimable benefit for mili¬
tary France in awakening naval Bri¬
tain to the dangers of Hitler's arma¬
ments policy.”
Information obtained by the powers |
was that Germany already had under ;
construction a number of 250-ton sub¬ 1
marines and planned a large fleet of ■
them. Spokesmen for the German gov¬ |
ernment denied that any were being
built yet, but at the same time ad¬
mitted that submarines were being 1
“considered” in connection with plans
for rebuilding the navy. 1
The League of Nations council ap¬
pointed a committee to study what
action should be taken if Germany vio¬
lated the peace treaty ngain, so ob¬
servers are interestedly waiting to see
If the matter will be taken up at the
council meeting on Slay 20. i

A MBASSADORS of the United

delivered to the Brazilian government
a collective note asking Brazil to par¬
ticipate iu efforts to end the Paraguay-
Bolivia war In tiie Chaco by mediation.
Brazil rejected such an invitation
some time ago because she had been
unintentionally excluded from a pro¬
jected Chaco economic conference.
The two warring nations were en¬
gaged in a long and very bloody bat¬
tle. the outcome of which was still
undecided.
National Topics Interpreted
by William Bruckart
National Pres* Building Washington, D. C.
Washington.—In the last two weeks
the National Capital has been under
the tent of a three-
Three-Ring ring circus, if ever
Circus f ' ne existed ' A * the
» Capitol building,
there has been utter confusion as Dem¬
fougiit among themselves and
Republicans and Independents sat on
the sidelines and said “sic ’em.” At
the other end of Pennsylvania avenue,
business activity has been amazing.
President was beginning to start
to commence to spend five billion dol¬
lars. In between has been the largest
hangover of Easter visitors the Capi¬
tal city has known In recent years.
Mr. Roosevelt, having complete con¬
trol of the largest sum of money ever
turned over to one man, has been run¬
ning his brain at lightning speed to
make good on his promise that actual
spending will begin in two months. He
has announced that some sixty agents
of the government will participate in
the spending function but roosting on
top of the various spending groups are
to be three newly created boards, each
responsible to his direction and each
enjoined to bear down in order that
the public works and relief funds In
his charge may flow freely.
I hear general commendation of the
President for selecting Frank C. Walk¬
er of Montana and New York to head
up the spending operations. Mr. Walk¬
er, a lawyer, is experienced in a big
business way and is accepted every¬
where as a man with capacity to do
the job. The fly that is floating around
and threatens to get into the ointment,
however, Is tiie existence of two
schools of thought in the administra¬
tion. This condition may undo the good
work which .Mr. Walker is regarded as
capable of doing.
* • •
Tiie hve-billion-dollar spending ma¬
chine will be guided first by the Presi¬
dent, second by Mr.
President Walker and third by
Will Guide the various agencies
now in existence.
They are supposed to present plans
and Mr. Walker will he expected to
analyze and determine their values.
Prof. Rexford Guy Tugwell, under¬
secretary of agriculture, will have
something like nine hundred million
dollars to spend in remaking the rural
districts of the nation in a job vari¬
ously described as "rural resettlement”
and other similar short titles. This
program contemplates expansion and
Intensification of work now being done
by the Agricultural Adjustment admin¬
istration and the Federal Emergency
Relief administration, including attacks
on the problem of dust storms and
other types of soil erosion. Although
Professor Tugwell has no plans
complete, he is working in the direc¬
tion of transplanting many farmers
from poor land where living is hard
to more fertile fields. Under his juris¬
diction also will he reforestation and
a general examination of land. uses.
A second agency that is new in the
current set-up provides for develop-
ment of rural electrification. The third
new spending movement is directed at
dangerous railroad grade crossings.
The funds that will be set aside for
these latter two, however, will total
only about one-fourth as much as Pro-
fessor Tugwell will spend in his orgy.
Other scheduled programs for ex-
penditure include:
Assistance to clerical and profes¬
sional workers—the white collar folks.
Loans and grants to states, cities
and counties.
Development of new housing con¬
struction in cities and rural districts
and general reconditioning and remod¬
eling of homes already existing.
Extension and expansion of the
Civilian Conservation corps to a max¬
imum of six hundred thousand work¬
ers.
Further public building construction
but In a less extensive manner than
previously was attempted.
* * *
Although the President assured con¬
gress that he himself would administer
the five-billlon-dollar
Ickes a fund, and succeeded
Target ,n quieting criticism
to some extent by the
Statement, official announcement of
the allotment hoard shows the name
of Secretary Ickes as chairman. Many
caustic darts were fired at Mr. Ickes
during the two months while the pub-
lie works bill was held up in congress,
because members did not like the Ickes
policy as public works administrator.
Of course, as the set-up now stands
Mr. Walker will determine the char-
acter of spending and Mr. Ickes and
his allotment board will determine
how much money each may have. That
would seem to eliminate the causes of
trouble experienced heretofore by the
members of congress and the Ickes
organization. Nevertheless, critics of
the secretary have begun to suspect
something.
Mr. Roosevelt has said in White
House press conferences several times
lately that he would permit no delay
in getting the spending machinery in
motion. He assured the country in his
radio speech the other night that his
policy was to be speed and assistance
where the money will do the most
good. The President certainly has made
clear that he is anxious to get things
going.

KILL ALL FLIES
l cS^-eftSoUmr
Capital news had a good laugh the
other day at the at-
A muses tempt of the Demo-
the Press cratie national con¬
gressional committee
to satisfy all sections of the country
In an announcement made by the com¬
mittee respecting its organization. I
can conceive of no better way to tell
the story than to quote opening para¬
graphs from four statements issued
simultaneously by the committee on
the subject mentioned. The paragraphs
which follow are taken from state¬
ments which were delivered to my of¬
fice in one envelope:
1— “The West will play an impor¬
tant part in the direction of the cam¬
paign of the Democratic national con¬
gressional committee, now being or¬
ganized by Chairman P. H. Drewry of
Virginia. Representative Abe Murdock
of Beaver, Utah, has been selected as
a vice chairman of this committee, and,
under plans proposed, will have gen¬
eral supervision over the campaign in
the West.”
2— “In the organization on for the
corning campaign of the Democratic na¬
tional congressional committee the
South will play a very important part.
Not only is Congressman P. H. Drew¬
ry of Virginia chairman of this com¬
mittee, but he has selected other south¬
ern congressmen to aid him. Repre¬
sentative Virgil Chapman of the Sixth
Kentucky district has been chosen as
chairman of the very important execu¬
tive committee. His is what is histo¬
rically known as the Henry Clay dis¬
trict. and has been a political battle
ground of the nation for considerably
more than one hundred years.”
3— “Unless all signs fail, the Middle
West will be an important battle
ground in the congressional elections
of next year. Representative P. H.
Drewry of Virginia has recognized this
when, as chairman of the Democratic
national congressional committee, he
aided in tiie selection of Congressman
Eugene R. Crowe of the Ninth Indiana
district, as first vice chairman of the
Democratic national congressional
committee. Representative Crowe will
have general supervision over Demo¬
cratic campaign activities of congres¬
sional candidates throughout the cen¬
tra) part of the country. His jurisdic¬
tion will extend from the Ohio to the
Great Lakes. Practically every nation¬
al election for the last one-half cen¬
tury or more has been won or lost in
the states comprising this district.”
4— “In the reorganization of the
Democratic national congressional
committee Chairman P. H. Drewry of
Virginia has sought to give additional
prominence to members from the East.
Representative William J. Granfield of
Massachusetts has been selected as one
of the vice chairmen and will have
general supervision over campaign ac¬
tivities throughout the North and
East. Associated with him will be Rep¬
resentative William N. Rogers of New
Hampshire, who has been named a
member of the executive committee.
Congressman Rogers represents the
district which boasts of Daniel Web¬
ster, the great orator of one hundred
years ago.”
Of course, it was intended that the
statements should be distributed to
correspondents from the various sec¬
tions of the country so that western
newspapers would have been told how
important their section was and east¬
ern newspapers would have had infor¬
mation to the effect that the eastern
section was all important. It was not
an unusual procedure but It happened
that the statements were distributed
together and that afforded the butt of
the joke.
» • »
Senator Bankhead (Dem., Ala.), of
cotton production control fame, has
another idea for leg-
Bankhead s islation. This time
Idea the senator is seek¬
ing to make It pos¬
sible, he says, for every tenant farmer
to become a land owner. He has leg¬
islation pending in congress to carry
out his program and it appears now
that It may go through.
It is proposed to create another gov¬
ernment-owned corporation which would
have power to issue one and a half
billion dollars’ worth of government-
guaranteed bonds. These bonds could
be sold by the corporation and the
proceeds used to buy land for present
landless farmers. They would become
owners in name and would have the
millstone of that debt around their
necks for twenty years If they suc¬
ceeded in earning enough income to
pay off the debt in that time. It is
true the measure would open the way
for land ownership and would make
the terms of ownership about as easy
as is possible when on e borrows an¬
other's money. Those facts, however,
do not remove the conditions which a
good many observers hold are bad.
For instance, it is difficult to see
how the tenant can make a living and
sufficient profit to pay off the debt to
the government If he has been unable
to accomplish that same purpose with
money borrowed commercially. It is
being said freely that such legislation
will serve only the purpose of reliev¬
ing present owners of land which
they do not want by its transfer
through the government to others who
may not be able to pay for it. In oth¬
er words, it Is another bill to put
more people In debt.
