THE CHARLESTON DAILY MAIL, SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 26, 1938 PAGE NINE HOUSE EXPECTED TO APPROVE TAX BILL AND SENATE TO REWRITE IT JS NEW DEAL'S TACTICAL PLAN Administration Also Had Reasons for Hearings Before Drafting Act AIDS BUREAUCRACY Policy as Written Would Require Expansion of Collecting Agency By DAVID LAWRENCE For The Charleston Daily Mail WASHINGTON, April body who has a realistic attitude to- ward the present plight of the fed- eral government in running huge deficits will agree that some kind of a tax bill is essential. What the house of representatives has before it is an unworkable measure which will be passed nevertheless with al- most all of the 436 members of the house well aware that the bill will be rewritten in the United States senate. On its face this might appear to be a confession that there is some sort of wisdom or intelligence in the senate superior to that in the State College To Give Music Week Recitals, Contest Plans for the observance of Na- tional Music week. May 3 to 10. at West Virginia Stale college have been completed.

The programs are to be presented under the direction ol Theodore D. Phillips, director of music at the college. The first program of the week will be given during the Thursday chapel period, May 5 at 10 a. by the Charleston high school band, with J. Henry Francis as director.

On Wednesday evening "Unfin- ished Symphony," a movie depicting certain phases in the life of Franz Peter Schubert, will be shown. A talk concerning recent achievements of the Negro in the realm of music will follow at the Thursday chapel period. May 7. One of the special features of the week will be the appearance of Bernard Lee Mason, violinist who distinguished himself recently as orchestra. The recital is scheduled for Thursday evening.

May 7. at 7:30. On Friday at the regular chapel period a program of piano music will be played by Joseph W. Grider. of the music faculty.

The climax of the week's activities will be the i a a West Vir- ginia high school music contest.

-'t Complies With Strategy The senate is going to write the new tax bill for a reason that is im- portant to record because it has to do with tactics and strategy in a campaign year. For reasons best known to the New Deal, hearings were held before any draft of the bill was made public. This means school John W.

who are familiar with tax problems. But will they have a chance to get the bill amended? Hardly. The measure is open to amendment, but the orders from the administration are to jam it through and hurry the bill over to the senate. Meanwhile the country will be studying the draft of the bill. Suggestions and criticisms will be forthcoming from all persons and corporations affected.

The senate finance committee will be obliged not only to hold hearings but to con- sider a mass of written memoranda. It is a safe prediction that all the material cannot be digested by the senate committee in 30 days or con- Vera Ford Powell. Charleston: Mr. A. Kinney.

For an ill-considered. 1 unworkable tax bill may retard the progress of the country toward re- covery. If ever a piece of legisla- tion needed time for consideration, it is the proposed measure which is completely to the tax system of the United States. From an economic standpoint it would be better to spend six months in. working out a new tax bill then.

to do the jobs in haste. And the more the tax bill is studied the less enthusiastic will be the proponents of a tax on undistributed earnings. In principle there is much to be said for this form of tax. but administra- tively speaking, it probably will present so many obstacles as to run up the expense of administering it far beyond any present records of cost. One reading of the tax bill shows that the bureau of i a revenue will have to undergo considerable expansion.

This will please the bu- reaucrats. Tax lawyers and experts will be in demand. The layman can hardly understand the bill as writ- ten by the house committee and it comes to a i out a tax return the trouble only begins. Take the case of a debt-ridden corpora- tion.
