March r' For the seoond time, the senate today killed a house-approved resolution which would ask the voters to raise salaries of legislators. The measure would have submitted to a referendum a change In the constitution to boost legislators' salaries from $600 to $1,000 annually. The first rejected It after it had been amended to strike out a $6 a day additional salary for extended and special sessions.

The measure was reconsidered on motion of Senator Barnhart, Democrat, of Kanawha, who told the senate that members of the house "have been on my neck since we rejected the proposal." MOVE TO REPLACE (Continued From Page This might be handled In separate legislation such as the Kagner bill. Most of the existing codes would be dropped, and in their place voluntary codes for all businesses primarily of a local or intra-atafe nature would be provided for, to govern hours of labor, wages, and child labor. The only compulsory codes would be for the big basic industries of a definite interstate character. George said lie felt the functions of NRA should be transferred to the federal trade commission and the present recovery agency abolished.

ROOSEVELT SAYS PAIGES TOO LOW; MARKETS REACT (Continued From Page One) restB is that If a man borrows a dollar, when for instance a dolls i will buy one bushel of wheat, and repays It when the dollar wtl' buy two bushels of wheat he- has discharged the debt twice over, assuming of course that other prices are in proportion.

As the price of wheat and other commodities runs upward from that half-way point and approaches the level at which it stood when the dollar was borrowed the real value of the debt Is reduced in Proportion to that rise. Turning 1 the proposition around It has been especially applicable to the farmers throughout the depression, economists say. Debts contracted when the farmers products were bringing high have fallen due qt times when their value was low. Every increase in farm prices theoretically Increases the farmers income and makes his debt burden lighter. Where urban dwellers aro con cerned, the theory assumes that wages follow an upward trend in prices and thus tend to ease the debt load of factory workers and other wages earners.

Statistics covering the nation's emergence from a number of depression periods show, however, that prices increase much more rapidly than do wages. A cent NRA report showed this- to be true of the present situation.

GREATER ECQNOMYIN THE IOC SIZE From Page One) general revenue bill levying a gross sales tax on retail merchants. Tho measure proposed a reduction in the tax from 75 to 50 cents on each $100 of gross revenues and was amended to provide a greater cut to 25 cents on the $100. Delegate Thomas estimated the reduction in retail merchants' tax would be about $1,000,000 annually.

Thomas' declaration that "as compensation for collecting the consumers' sales tax we've decided In committee to give them a reduction of 33 1-3 percent" was drowned by boos from the gallery. Seven Amendments Seven amendments were written Into the revenue bill and nearly twice as many were voted down as the house worked until early in the evening on the revenue bill. Sales of liquor would he subject to the state's two percent consumers' sales tax under one of the amendments adopted on recommendation of the finance committee. Another slashed approximately $3,500,000 from revenues for the next two years by cutting in half the surtax, or additional tax levied on Industries on a basis of percentages of amounts they pay under the gross sales tax, The reduction In the surtax was attacked bitterly by Delegate Rairden, Republican, Mason, who asserted if reductions were made they should be made from the consumers' SRICS tax through exemption for necessities. His arguments were answered by Delegate Hlner with an assertion that "businesses are in a terrific financial condition and some of them are wobbling on their last legs.

We can't afford to tax them out of business." "When we cut the sales tax on business we're going to create dissension in the collection of the consumers' sales tax," declared Delegate Martin, Republican, Cabell, in opposing the reduction. Relieve Finns From Delegate Oldham came an assertion the reduction was recommended to relieve business flrniB from the tax on their gross turnover that he said "has been taking from industry not only their earnings but their capital. How long can business exist under such conditions?" Other amendments adopted would eliminate exemptions of telephone companies from the surtaxes; require tax on credit sales to be paid at the time of the sale or within 30 days and cut the penalty for failure to make prompt returns of the consumers' sales tax from ten percent to six percent of the tax. Amendments defeated Included a proposal by Delegate Rairden for exemption of milk and bread from the consumers' tax end a suggestion by Delegate Butcher, Democrat, Wood, that clothing costing less than $10 also be exempt. Chairman Jones of the senate finance committee said the amendments his committee recommended In the budget bill cut more than $1,000,000 from the administration figures.

"The proposed administration revenue bills are expected to raise $23,000,000 In 193B-'36. and $36,781,000 In 1938-'37," Jones explained. "After the reductions made by the senate finance committee the proposed appropriation to be paid out of the state general fund for each of the years of the blennium is $22,600,000. "For 1936-'3s. the expected tax yield will be $23,000,000.

The proposed appropriation after the senate flnance committee cuts will be $22,600,000." He added that for the year 1936'36, the appropriations would be $1,000,000 less than the expected yield from taxes. For the year 1936-'37, Jones estimated the tax yield at $25,731,000 and set the appropriation, after the senate flnance cuts, at $23,600,000, or $2,181,000 less than the expected tax yield. "No accurate check has been made on the reductions," he said. The Income tax bill passed by the house would provide a graduated scale based on a primary exemption of of for a Blngle person and $1,300 for the head of a family, with additional exemptions of $200 for each dependent. The rates, subject to deductions for business losses, rents for business porperty, other taxation, worthless debts and wear and tear on business property, would be: One percent on the first $1,000 or fraction; one and one-fourth percent on the second one and one- half percent on the third and How Easy!
