SEEN and HEAR
around the
NATIONAL CAPITAL
By Carter Field
FAMOUS WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT
Washington.—Capitol Hill is Kim
ply amazed at the falling off In
nail from constituents lately. Mnny
offices of senators and representa
tives are right now receiving less
than 10 per cent of their normal
mall.
In the face of the fact that a
sweeping new tax hill Is being writ
ten, to be imposed on the country,
this situation is absolutely unique.
The answer, according to some
old-timers, is that the people back
home do not understand what Is go
ing on. For one thing, most people
who have been rending the newspa
pers about the new tax bill as
snme that the whole thing Is aimed
at the big rich corporations, par
ticularly the ones with big sur
pluses. One senator told the writer
that he had Inquired in his own
home town—he happens to come
from a very small city- and had
discovered that not a single busi
ness roan In town thought the new
tax bill would hit him!
“The only people who are Inter
ested," he continued, "are stock
holders Id some corporations, and
more of them are pleased than
alarmed. They think the new law
will force their corporations to
pay bigger dividends, and they are
all for that."
But the really amazing fuel ap
pears to be that owners of little
corporations are convinced, with
out knowing anything About It,
that they will be exempt—that only
the big fellows will bear the new
burden. And this does not make
them very angry.
Whereas, senators point out, the
committee program In the house
provides a whole schedule of new
taxes for corporations with Incomes
ranging from $10,000 a year down
ward as well as from $10,000 a year
upward.
Have Wrong View
Most of these owners of small
corporations rend the original press
•torles a (tout the new tax plan—
that President Roosevelt wanted to
eliminate the present corporation
Income tax, the present corporation
capital stock tax, and the present
excess profits tax, and substitute
this sliding scule tax on undis
tributed earnings for all of them.
They still hold that view, despite
the obvious fact that congress has
no Intention whatever of repealing
the corporation Income tnx, and may
even retain, In whole or In part, the
capital stock and excess profits
taxes.
In short, the effect of the new
bill, when completed, will be to
add the new taxes to the old, not
to substitute the new for the old,
as the President recommended.
Nor Is there any doubt that the
President will accept the changes.
Nothing else will provide the rev
enue the government must have,
especially as congress Is determined
to go as lightly as possible on ex
cise taxes.
With respect to little corporations
—those with "adjusted net Incomes"
of $10,000 or less—there Is a slid
ing scale tax In the house commit
tee plan which goes up to 20.7 per
cent on all undistributed earnings.
Quite a sizable slice out of earn
ings which a struggling little cor
poration might be anxious to use
In building itself up!
So the little corporation Is far
from exempt!
Sliding scale tnxes In the com
mittee plan for corporations with
Incomes from $10,000 a year up
end this Includes a very great
many corporations In small towns
which are not regarded, even af
home, as anything but little fel
lows—rise much more sharply.
These slide up to 42% per cent
on all undistributed earnings In ex
cess of 57% per cent of the net in
come.
It is true that there are several
classifications on which the burden
Is eased—railroads, banks, corpora
tions with debt obligations requir
ing the discharge of a certain part
of the debt every year, etc. Rut
the owners of the little corpora
tions who think that their small
ness Is going to prove an um
brella are due for a very rude
awakening.
Tariff on Textiles
Bearing in mind the important
part that the closing of so many
New England textile mills, duo
allegedly at least to a flood of im
ports of Japanese textiles, played
In the Rhode Island congressional
election last year (a sweeping Re
publican victory). Republican mem
bers of the house ways and means
committee will write a very po
litically minded minority report
against the new tax bill.
One of its features will be the
suggestion of new excise tariff
taxes, particularly on textiles.
These would follow the pattern of
the so-called excise, but really
tariff, taxes Imposed several years
ago on oil, copper, coal and lumber.
The minority report will stress,
of course, the thought that new
taxes would not be necessary if the
government would only curb its
spending, and devote Its attention
to finding ways to save money in
stead of searching for new meth
ods of extracting money from tax
payers. It will lay great stress
on the idea that every dollar so
taken from a taxpayer is a dollar
which otherwise would bp spent by
the taxpayer in some way or other,
and hence would play Its part in
providing employment.
The Idea of an Import excise tax
on textiles, Instead of a tax on cor
porations' undistributed earnings, Is
expected to make a big hit In New
England, New York arid New Jer
sey, and will be calculated to cause
a little discontent with the Demo
cratic program In the Southern tex
tile section, particularly In the Caro
llnns.
Incidentally, if any strength
should develop for It, the proposal
will be most embarrassing to Secre
tary of State Cordell Hull, who Is still
enthusiastic about Ills reciprocal
trade agreements, and Is gradually
hammering down the protective tar
iff wall by this system. Many cas
ual readers overlook the point that
every time Hull agrees to a reduc
tion In a duty on a given product
In a trenty with one country, that
reduction promptly applies also In
favdr of every other country with
which the United States has a
"most favored nation clause" treaty |
And that means most of them.
Appeal to Farmer*
For example, when In the re
cent treaty with Gannda the duty
on Imported liquor was reduced
from $5 to |2.50 a gallon, the same
reduction promptly applied to
Scotch and Irish whiskies.
With a view to appealing to the
farm belt, the Republican wuys
and means committee members will
recommend heavy excise tariff du
ties on agricultural products of
all sorts. This Is aimed at offset
ting the appeal of the New Deal’s
AAA farm benefits, now changed to
soli erosion payments.
This phase of the report—while
no attention will be pnld to It by
the Democratic majority—Is expect
ed to prove rather embarrassing to
Democratic house members. For
the majority members of the ways
and means committee have agreed
that there are to be no excise
taxes whatever In the bill, despite
the fact that President Roosevelt
and the Treasury department have
insisted there should be.
Of course the President and the
treasury contemplated very differ
ent excise taxes from those the Re
publican ways and means mem
bers will recommend. They were
thinking of something more like
the AAA processing taxes.
Quoddy Project
Pnssamaquoddy may get a new
dress und become not only respect
able, but an actual asset to the New
Deal,
Having pulled a couple of rab
bits out of the Mnine hat In the
last two weeks, Roosevelt and Far
ley would surprise nobody In Wash
ington If they adopted a sugges
tion from the Navy department. It
Is simply to abandon Quoddy as a
large electric producing plant, and
convert It Into a naval base!
Enough power could be pro
duced by the tides to Justify—In
political arguments, at any rate—
the original claims about harness
ing the tides. There Is plenty of
water there, It is pointed out, nnd
of sufficient depth to produce a
good harbor, providing a couple of
breakwaters are built.
But the big argument In favor of
It Is that such a naval base would
be at the nearest point In the Unit
ed States to Europe! It is almost
two days’ sail closer to Europe
than New York, and one day’s sail
closer than Boston.
Causes Some Worry
It 1ms been especially worrying
because the marching up the hill
and down again, with congress turn
ing thumbs down on a project the
President had started, with the
President fishing during the fu
neral, naturally attracted consider
able attention In Maine. The state
of Maine folks, politicos here think,
are n very hard-headed lot, with
strong objections to seeing their
money wasted. So If the project
could be turned Into something that
could be defended as useful—espe
cially If the Maine folks could be
convinced that the new naval base
would add materially to Maine's In
dustries—retreat could be turned
Into victory.
Quoddy then could actually be
made an asset In getting out a good
Democratic vote In September, with
resulting psychological benefit to
Democratic workers in other states,
as they labored for Roosevelt's elec
tion in November.
All of which is the more Inter
esting because a lot of sentiment
is developing on Capitol Illll
ngainst spending all the billion and
a half dollar relief appropriation j
the President has demanded for ]
boondoggling projects.

“Federal Triangle” In Washington.
Prepared by National Geographic Society.
Washington, D. C.—WNU Service.
HE annual spring rush of
tourists to Washington is on.
In the Nation’s Capital even
the perennial visitor is greeted
with something new to enjoy. This
year new buildings, recently opened,
In and near the great triangle be
tween the Capital and the Ellipse,
will be a feature of a tour of the
city.
(laze down upon the modern
Washington from an airplane. As
always, the simple grandeur of the
White House, the Capitol, the Lin
coln Memorial and the towering
Washington monument draw the eye
and make the heart beat faster. But
neur them new wonders have ap
peared.
Quietly and steadily, with so lit
tle fuss that residents were hard
ly aware of It, thousands of car
loads of stone and metal—whole
mountains in the aggregate—have
been hauled Into the city and reared
Into monumental buildings.
Acres and acres of old, unsightly
structures have been razed on Cap
itol Hill, around Its base, and along
broad, historic Pennsylvania ave
nue. In their place stretch parks,
wide boulevards, or long, handsome
houses of government.
In the angle formed by the In
tersection of Pennsylvania avenue
and the new Constitution avenue,
beautiful Champs Elysees or Rue
de Rlvoll of Washington, rises a
mighty wedge of masonry, the
famed “Federal Triangle," eight
blocks long.
In this single group Is the most
amazing collection of government
buildings that the world has seen.
Beneath the roofs of this Tri
angle work nearly 20,000 govern
ment employees, about as many ns
the entire population of Batavia,
N. Y., or Daytona Beach, Fla. Every
day dozens of people get lost In Its
20 miles of corridors.
Massive and Beautiful.
In sheer size the cluster of build
ings Is staggering. Even from high
above. It Is as If a dozen or more
of New York’s tallest skyscrapers
have been laid on their sides,
formed Into a blunted arrowhead,
and cut and twisted to make courts
and wings. One unit—the Com
merce department—Is longer than
the Chrysler building Is tall.
But It Is not merely an Impression
of bigness tjhat one has In the wan
dering plane. Long ranks of ma
jestic columns, graceful arcades, a
wide plaza, ^nd solid rock walls give
a beauty and simplicity that make
these enormous newcomers tit com
panions for the classic White House
and Capitol.
The uirplane turns, and far off
In the distance, beyond the Cap
itol dome, appears u gleaming white
marble temple, comparable in beauty
even to the noble Lincoln Memorial.
This Is the new United States Su
preme Court building, the only real
home of Its own that the nation’s
highest court has had.
For the flrst time In American
history a citizen now might gaze
upon the separate, permanent
abodes of the three branches of Ids
government — legislative, the Cap
itol; executive, the White House,
and now, for the judicial, long shel
tered In the old senate chamber, this
temple whose dignity and Impres
siveness match the majesty of the
law Itself.
Suspended in History.
As you cruise about, other splen
did white buildings appear, new
Jewels in the familiar setting along
the l’otomac.
Beyond the Lincoln shrine the
new Arlington Memorial bridge
links north and south. Down the
Virginia shore of the winding river
a wide Apptan way, the Mount Ver
non Memorial highway leads to the
home and tomb of the Father of Ilis
Country.
From the steps of the Capitol all
the way down to the river, two and
a third miles away, sweeps a broad
stretch of tree-dotted park land.
Gone is much of the mushroom
growth of temporary wartime struc
tures. Their removal gives new
beauty to this Mall, main feature of
the grand plan conceived by the
Revolutionary soldier-artist, Maj.
Pierre Charles L’Enfant, when he
laid out this city with broad, sweep
ing, prophetic strokes to be the cap
ltal of a vast country.
Hanging between earth and sky,
you seem suspended in history,
halfway between the past and the
unfathomable future. How would
the city look a hundred years hence,
or twenty, or a thousand?
For months now, returning trav
elers from Timbuktu or Teheran
and pilgrimaging citizens from
Dodge City or Dubuque have been
pausing on emergence from Wash
ington’s Union station and uttering
exclamations of admiration and sur
prise.
No wonder! Insteud of ugly brick
walls and tar-paper shacks of World
war vintage, a splendid park cut
by wide drives sweeps across to
the Capitol. In the midst of the
magnificent plaza, if It be summer,
a fountain plays, its water glowing
with subdued colored lights.
The Senate Office building, off
there at the left, has had its face
lifted—and a handsome face It now
is, with a long row of Roman Doric
columns. A street car line that once
marred the scene dips discreetly un
derground. Beneath a broad lawn
is a subterranean garage in which
270 senatorial cars can be parked.
Supreme Court Building.
But to look upon the latest crown
ing glory of Capitol hill one should
stand on the front steps of the Cap
itol, where Presidents are Inaugu
rated, and see the new Supreme
Court building. Its beauty height
ened by the green of trees and
grass.
It occupies a historic site. Early
patriots in powdered wigs foregath
ered at a famous old hotel run By
William TunnlclilT on this spot be
fore the War of 1812. After the
British burned the Capitol In 1814,
a building erected here housed con
gress until the marks of the torch
were erased. In Civil war times It
was used as a military prison.
Everything about the Supreme
court's home Is on a majestic scale.
Look at those blocks of marble,
one at each side of the steps. Each
block weighs 45 tons. They are
two of the heaviest marble blocks
ever brought into Washington.
The two bronze doors weigh 3,000
pounds apiece. The eight Corinthian
columns are 51*4 feet high. The
pediment above them catches the
eye, not alone for Its size, but for
its interesting sculptures In which
the features of historic or living
men are recognized.
Inside the massive bronze por
tals a main hall lined with 36 state
ly columns—each made from ona
solid piece of stone—leads to the
courtroom where the nine black
robed Justices sit. At their own re
quest the room was made only about
60 per cent larger In floor area than
the old Supreme court room In the
Capitol. Btchly colored marble col
umns and sculptured panels lend
beauty to the lofty chamber, 45 feet
from floor to celling.
Wonderful Libraries.
In the Folger Shakespeare library,
down the street, reposes a fine col
lection of books and Elizabethan
treasures, even the supposed corset
of Queen Elizabeth, solemnly stowed
away In a vault and showed only
to a chosen few.
Behind the Library of Congress
an annex almost to double its ca
pacity Is being built, although al
ready it Is the largest library in
the world, with more than 9,840,000
books, pamphlets, pieces of music,
and other items at the latest count.
Down from Capitol hill, past a
shining new House Office building
lately reared beside the first one,
the trail of t he new Washing
ton lends to Pennsylvania avenue.
In some of its now vanished build
ings—masses of rubble and ruined
walls then—the first bricks flew In
the “bonus army” riots of 1932.
Halfway along “The Avenue,” be
tween the Capitol and White House,
there stretched off to the left In the
early days of the city a dreary
swamp where Washingtonians were
wont to shoot “reedbirds.”
On this unlikely site now stands
a structure in many ways unique —
the National Archives building.
Here for the first time Is a
worthy, safe and permanent home
for the precious records of the na
tion, some scrawled In failed ink on
yellowed paper by early patriot
hands, others punched out on mod
ern typewriters, or even contained
In sound motion picture films which
will he preserved and shown here.
To guard against deterioration —
to keep Father Time at bay as long
as possible—both sunlight and nat
ural air are bnrred from the archive
storage sections, which are wiudow
leu.

T*ll<i About ©
Use of Thyroid Extract
WHEN the overweight in
dividual reads of the great
loss of weight that has been
accomplished by the use of
thyroid extract, he or she im
mediately seeks out the family
physician and suggests that he
prescribe thyroid extract.
If the physician knows the fam
ily well he knows whether or not
the thyroid extract will be of help
because it is only useful in cases
where the individual was always
fat or became fat when emerging
from the boy or girl into the man
or woman—at the age of puberty.
If thyroid extract Is given when
the overweight is due simply to
Dr. Barton
overeating or un
derexercising, it
may cause heart,
and even thyroid
trouble.
With the dlnl
trophenol there has
been a few deaths,
a number of cases
where a skin rash
appeared and oth
ers in which the
sensation of taste
was lost whilst
taking this drug.
The rash disappeared and the taste
came back when the dinitrophenol
was stopped.
Dr. D. M. Dunlop, in the Brit
ish Medical Journal, by direct ob
servation on overweight patients
under treatment, found that the ab
sorption of dinitrophenol was ex
ceedingly rapid, a noticeable effect
being produced on metabolism (the
working of the body processes) a
quarter of an hour after the patient
had taken a single dose, and the
greatest effect of the whole day oc
curred within one hour after the
drug was taken. This effect would
last for 24 hours, but in 4,8 hours
the rate at which the body proc
esses were working was about down
to normal again. Three days after
the patient stopped using this drug,
the body processes were exactly at
normal.
Difference in Effects.
This short time in taking effect,
and the short time the effect of the
dinitrophenol remains after its use
has stopped, is in direct contrast
to the slow onset of the effects of
the thyroid extract, and also the
long time before its effects have
worn off. Thyroid extract takes
three days before its effects are
felt, and its effects last for a whole
week after the patient stops us
ing it.
However, while dinitrophenol in
creases metabolism by as much as
50 per cent, it doesn’t raise the
pulse rates as much as ten beats,
whereas thyroid extract by raising
the rate at which the body works
by just 20 per cent, increases the
pulse rate by 24 beats.
While this would seem to give
dinitrophenol an advantage over thy
roid extract, Doctor Dunlop points
out that there is really no way the
physician can judge or gauge just
what is going on in the pntlent’s
body when dinitrophenol is used.
Further, Doctor Dunlop considers
the weight loss produced by dini
trophenol exceedingly disappointing
as compared with thyroid extract,
as thyroid extract separates the
water from the fat tissue better de
spite the profuse sweating pro
duced by dinitrophenol. Every
pound of fat holds over three
pounds of water, so getting rid of
fat gets rid of weight also.
May Be Discomfort.
Another point about dinitrophe
nol is that if the body processes
are not increased more than 30 per
cent, the patient doesn't feel any
particular symptoms, but if in
creased up to 50 per cent—the full
effect of a safe dose—there is much
discomfort and a feeling of ex
haustion.
However, despite all the points
in favor of using thyroid extract in
some cases, and dinitrophenol in
others, Doctor Dunlop points out
that neither dinitrophenol or thy
roid extract can compare with di
etetic restriction as a weight re
ducer.
Thus those who are wondering
whether or not they should be us
ing drugs to reduce weight, can
take comfort in knowing that cut
ting down gradually on the food
Intake is the safest and surest
method of reducing weight.

Fever Is Helpful.
“Isn’t science grand! After study
ing fever for only 4,000 years, sci
entists have learned that it helps
them cure things.” The above is
from “Isn't It the Truth” column of
the daily newspaper.
Unfortunately it must be admit
ted that mankind has been slow In
recognizing the value of heat to
the system. A rise in temperature
is a sign that something has gone
wrong inside that body of yours,
but it is likewise a sign or reminder
that your body processes are work
ing so hard that they are overheat
ed in their efforts to keep up with
the extra needs of the body as It
tries to tight off whatever it is that
is attacking you.

SLIPPERY M’GONIGAL was no
body’s fool around race tracks.
Occasionally it became necessary
for him to go away for long stretches
at a time until the race-track cops
forgot what they wanted him for,
then he’d show up with a new nume
and maybe some new clothes. His
greatest stroke of genius at a dis
guise was when he had all his snags
pulled and got himself a brand new
set of grinders. Not only a new set
of shining ivories, but a set with a
lot of gold teeth in front, too.
It was surprising how different
the gold teeth made him look. He’d
had the [dates for these made deep
er so that they stretched the skin
around his mouth, giving him the
appearance of a long faced, serious
looking youth.
Just to see what effect the gold
teeth had, Slippery went into a sa
loon one night, wearing Ills white
ones, and had a few drinks with the
bartender. Then he went back to
his room and changed to his gold
ones. He also changed Ills hat and
suit. When he came hack, he smiled
broadly at the bartender.
“Tell me that yarn again,” he
said. “The one about the widow."
"What story was that?" the bar
tender said. “I don't recollect."
“The one you told me half an hour
ago—when I was in here before."
The bartender shook his head.
“Guess it must have been Gus, the
bartender I relieve.”
The little old guy In the gray cap
Slippery spotted the next afternoon
interested him more than any pros
pect he had ever singled out. Once
the man had opened his wallet to
make a two dollar bet and Slippery
had been close enough to see what
the wallet contained. He caught
the flash of several C notes and his
pulse quickened.
The little old man In the gray cap
was leaning over the rail watch
ing Showgirl romp home In the
fourth race. Slippery with expert
fingers transferred It to his own
pocket. He looked around just In
time to see Captain Miles of the
guards pushing his way through the
crowd, making straight for him.
Slippery made the fringe of the
crowd In time to have a good start
on the policeman. Though Captain
Miles called upon the fleeing man
to halt, and threatened to shoot.
Slippery knew that no sane police
man would fire in that crowd. He
kept right on running. When he
reached his hotel he changed
clothes hurriedly. He also changed
back to his gold teeth.
Except for an occasional visit to
the restaurant downstairs he scarce
ly left the hotel for a week. Then
one day he put In his gold teeth,
had a few shots of whisky and set
out for the track. It would be a
cinch. No cop would recognize him
after a whole week, especially If he
kept laughing all the time and flash
ing those gold teeth.
As he left the saloon, be turned
back and asked permission to leave
his topcoat, lie remembered he had
worn it the day he helsted the wal
let.
“Sure,” the bartender said, “hang
It right over there. I’ll keep an eye
on It.” It was the same bartender
who had failed to recognize him the
other night when he had come back
wearing his gold teeth.
At the track he nosed around,
looking for dope on the horses. He
had money now and could lay a lit
tle bet.
Suddenly he felt a hand upon his
arm, then fingers gripped It hard.
He turned to face Captain Miles.
Though his heart was In his mouth
he managed to smile broadly, expos
ing his gold teeth.
“Well,” Miles said, “ye come back,
didja? I didn't think ye would. I
been waiting for yez, I have. Didn’t
think I’d forget that face, didja?
Or maybe ye thought it was my day
off, huh?"
Slippery tried to tell Captain
Miles that he was a stranger in
town and this was his first day at
the track.
‘‘Gwan, ye lunkhead! Don’t ye
think I got eyes in me head? Why.
ye lyin’ rat, I’ve a mind to—’’
“Ail right, you win.” Slippery
said.
All the way back to town he tried
to think where he had slipped this
time. He certainly had fooled that
bartender. Why hadn't those teeth
fooled the cops? He asked Captain
Miles to let him go by the saloon
for Ills topcoat.
The bartender didn't remember
about the coat.
“Hut I just left it with you less
than an hour ago.” Slippery insist
ed. “That's it hanging over there."
"Don’t ye remember this hlrd?”
Captain Miles asked suspiciously.
“What's he tryin’ to put over on yes
now?"
"I do remember he was in here
about a week ago." the bartender
said. "Remember, we had a couple
of drinks and I told you the story
about the widow?”
Slippery nodded. A great light was
: beginning to dawn upon him.
“It must be his coat all right,'*
the bartender went on. “If he left it
here an hour ago, be must have
left It with Al. I’m Gus. We
changed shifts about twenty min
utes ago. Pretty hard for some peo
ple to tell us apart, you know.
We’re twins and lots of times they
get us mixed up."

“Morning Sickness"
“Morning sickness” — is caused by an
acid condition. To avoid it, acid must be
offset by alkalis — such as magnesia.
Why Physicians Recommend
Milnesia Wafers
These mint-flavored, candy-like wafers are
pure milk of magnesia in solid form—
the most pleasant way to take it. Each
wafer is approximately equal to a full adult
dose of liquid milk of magnesia. Chewed
thoroughly, then swallowed, they correct
acidity in the mouth and throughout the
digestive system and insure Quick, com
plete elimination of the waste matters that
cause gas, headaches, bloated feelings and
a dozen other discomforts.
