Delay On Tax Revision By Congress
Washington notes the tax revision for business is stalled by drafting delays and legislative hurdles. Roosevelt aims for action, but Ways and Means expects two to four weeks to draft a bill, risking no action before Christmas as farm bills, housing, highway spending changes, and district court nominations unfold. Senate wage hour push requires signatures before next Saturday to reach Christmas consideration.

A F L Proposes Six Point Plan To Strengthen Purchasing Power
The American Federation of Labor urged Congress and the Roosevelt administration to enact a six point program to halt the recession by boosting mass purchasing power. It calls for maintaining wages, raising pay where feasible, boosting heavy industry, expediting unemployment benefits, boosting business confidence, and improving labor management relations to cut costs. The plan aligns with broader federal efforts to stimulate construction, utilities, and capital flows while warning that prolonged wage cuts threaten consumer demand.

Roosevelt vows veto if farm bill costs rise without tax help
President Roosevelt announced a balanced budget push for the next fiscal year and warned Congress he would veto any bill with substantial appropriations not paired with revenue measures. He signaled a veto on the Farm Bill unless farm costs stay under new limits, and he proposed cutting Federal Aid to State Highway systems by about 120 million dollars annually to aid budget balance. The move fits his broader program to aid business, housing plans, tax revision, and utilities spending.

Lorain County Stands Alone With Sales Tax Gain
Lorain County remains the only Ohio county out of eight in the state to show higher prepaid sales tax receipts for 1937 than 1936. Total so far is 623,744 versus 623,350 for the same date last year. State Treasurer Clarence H. Kinsley notes the margin is small and predicts Lorain may soon join others with declines as the tax on foods is exempted, influencing a statewide 9 percent gain excluding food and an overall drop of about 11 percent in food-exempted revenue.
