BASED ON 1924 LAW

Washington, D.C., 18-14
The administration laid before Congress today the ordinance to increase the creature program in history, a program to value by name taxes nearly one-fifth of all income.
Practically no one, rich or poo would escape.
President Hoover and Secretary a Treasury Mellon joined fiercely in an effort to impose international burden courageously, as a necessary sacrifice, imposed by the depress-
Secretary Mallon forecast business
impact on the economy, but emphasized
that depression would not be a sign of
government to run behind billions of
dollars, making emergency measures
Follows Former Law
The administration plan, based roughly on the 1924 tax law, recommends these taxes:
Checks and drafts—2 cent stamp tax on each.
Telephone, telegraph, cable an-
 radio messages -5 cents on charges
between 14 cents and 50 cents; 10 on
charges in excess of 50 cents.
Admissions—extension of present 10 per cent tax by 'educing present ex-cepitation from $3 to 10 cents.
Radio and phonograph equipment and accessories-5 per cent on manufacturers sales.
Automobiles—passenger cars, 5 per cent; trucks, 2 per cent; accessories 21% per cent, on manufactures sales. Increase of one-eighth on cigarettes and tobacco.
Increase of one cent in existing stamp tax on sales of transfers of capital stock.
Convexances of reality—50 cents or each $500 or value in excess of $100.
Individual income tax, normal rates
— first 4,000, 2 per cent, now 1½ per cent; next 4,000, 4 per cent, now 3 per cent; remainder, 6 per cent, now 3 per cent.
Exemptions — single, noaa, nos
$1.500; marries to $3.000; new $3.000;
changes to benefits; change recommended in 25 percent
reduction on earned income up to $20;
Postal Rates Would Go Up
Surtaxes—Beginning with 1 per cent on incomes of $0,000, graduated to 3 per cent on incomes between $100,000 and $200,000, reaching 40 per cent or in excess of $500,000, compayed on incomes exceeding $100,000.
Postal rates, increased rates for a minimum of $150,000,000 a year additional. (Note—postmaster general notes that a proposed 3-e-mail letter rate, except local, and increases in parcel post, registered, insured and C.O. D., mail.)
Estate tax: 5 per cent supertax to be added to existing graduated tax which reaches 20 per cent on estates of $10,000,000. Amounts paid in state taxes totaling $8,000,000 up to 80 per cent of normal federal inheritance tax, same as now.
It is not easy for anyone to determine to assume a large additional tax burden on businesses, because they are depleted through business depression, but in the long run they will best be represented by government, whatever is required to maintain the finances of their government on a sound basis.
Mellon Advocates Change
Motion Advocate Change
In advocating a return to the taxation tax, but asking "The country knows the burdens to be expected under such a law. I paid taxes under that law and, notwithstanding the higher rates and broader scope of taxation, I think that we should constitute an unbelievable burden nor prevent increased prosperity. Instead of embarking on new and untrived ventures in taxation, it is wiser to utilize existing laws and structures where changes as may be appropriate in the light of altered conditions."
Cuts Down City Ordinances
Wichita—Modern Wichita needs not more than 300 ordnances. Miss Elise Hall, statistician in the city clerk's office, said that she was working through all the ordnances on the city's books, with a view to cutting out all unnecessary regulations. The ordnance regulate "steam driven street cars." Miss Hall said she supposed that she would get her department's 'link' between horse and electric car

Professor Nash Discusses Merits and Defects of Practice
"Intelligence tests in themselves are not fatalistic things that condemn a child to a given level of intelligence. The faculty associate professor of education at the University of Kansas in a radio talk over station KPCU "Kpeu" in rather exaggerated terms indicates a given chronological age indicates that learning of particular things may be more difficult, and that school admissions through greater motivation and effort."
Mental Tests Not Final Level of Achievement
TAXI 25c
"In the second place," Professor Nash continued, "there is no intelligence test. A single measure of a single metric measure cannot possibly adequate picture of a person. At least three different tests should be used to assess an image as a true picture and index of mental ability."
Mental Tests Only One Approach
"A third milestone of intelligent test scores is to assume that they can be assessed by the student as school success, teacher evaluation, social adaptation, etc. After all, a mental measure is only one approach to assessing student achievement but be studied if we get a true picture of the child's potentialities. It is for this reason that a thorough clinical examination must be made of all our problems and misunderstandings."
However, the important thing is that you get a correct notion as to the part of the tests play in education through a proper interpretation of the scores.
Mental Age Over-Emphasized
"Undoubtedly too much emphasis has been put on mental development in education in some places and over zealous exponents of mental treatment in the movement. Those who see in mental therapy the solution of all educational problems, appointed, for there are many types of difficulties or a graver nature than usual."
