Mason City Globe-Gazette (Newspaper) - March 16, 1939, Mason City, Iowa t H 1ST 4 ART PET Of lOHti COUP MCINES I 4 NORTH IOWAS DAILY PAPER EDITED FOR THE HOME VOL XLV ASSOCIATED AND UNITED i P Corcoran Blamed for Confusion on Taxes adminis tration confusion in taxes is beine attributed ethereally to Tommy Corcoran It appears he recovered too soon from his recent ill ness that is too soon to le treasury Un der Secretary Hanes get away with the busi ness appease ment tax cor rections he ha fully planned The mentor is Paul Malion it would be fatal to his cause to backtrack on taxes or anything else important now While Tommy is behind the confusion Ben Cohen is behind Tommy Mr brain twin is supposed to have been alarmed for weeks by the adminis tration trend toward reforming its reformation but lie had to wait until Tommy who is the late half of the twin new deal propellers could get out of bed and talk They both swung Harry Hopkins somewhat around al though he had then freshly re turned from his Iowa business ap speech Mr Hopkins is reported to have been less ada mant than you would suppose as his Iowa speech failed to get the enthusiastic reception anticipated from business Hanes was lured to lunch in a downtown hotel last week by two of these three and there the con fusion started Hanes had a pro gram for repealing five business taxes in favor of a flat corpora tion tax of 20 or 21 per cent Among the taxes he would have repealed capital gains ex cess profits and undistributed profits In substance he was informed Ithe might not involuntarily However he appears to have lost the at least failed to convince his adversaries Congressmen on the senate and house fiscal committees have felt Hanes might resign in view of the very serious effort he put into his program with them and other authorities unless Mr Roosevelt inthe end swings to bis side Extracts Appropriations The system Mr Roosevelt has developed for extracting top re lief appropriations from congress is practically perfect Congress cannot make a cut No one can cut No one can find out enough about what is needed to question forcefully his requests His is first to let the cities decide what they need As any city would be considered mu nutty if it failed to take all the money it can get from the federal government the requests are wholly based on sane human nature This is the basis of need and no one can go behind it because no one can dispute it The WPA just adds up sees that the cities are not too much out and Mr Roosevelt asks congress for that amount of money If congress rebels as it did this year it cannot remain Mr Roosevelt comes back in a day or a month says one or two million people are going to have lo be thrown off relief and then sits back to let the mayors go to work on the congressmen The ciues do the lobbying job for him and never fail because no con gressman can stand up against home town screaming for federal as there is no way for a to know what need actually exists except as the cities compute it WPA adds it and Mr Roosevelt pre sents it Garner Cries Racket This time congress took a blind stab and reduced the emergency relief appropriation the WPA not to cut relief rolls more than 5 per cent a month in February and March The WPA did not cut them that much In fact its rolls were larg S1 March than in January it did abide by one phase of the law requiring it to cut off 30000 aliens but put on so many more needy from its waiting list that it now has more than before the aliens were eliminated If congress asks why Mr R just says the need prevented econ omy Maybe it did No one knows Deluding Mr Roosevelt who is taking the word of the cities eter nally hungry for federal dough Mr Gamer the V P once told the president this system was a
