Senator Would

(A. P, By Goal-dlan‘s Special Wire)

WASHINGTON. April 27——Whlle United States House of Represent- atives and Senate Republicans pre- pared to map lines of concerted at- tack on the $803,000,000 tax bill. Senator Lafolleite (P-Wis) served notice today he would seek to boost individual incomes tax rates and lower tax exemptions to bring in even more revenue.

Lafollette, saying he would offer three amendments in committee and on the floor. if necesary, pro- posed to lower individual income tax exemptions. probably from $2.- 500 to $1,500 for a. married person and from $1.000 to $800 for a. single one: increase the normal income ta x from four to‘ six per cent and raise surtaxes on net incomes up to $50,000. surtases on larger in- comes were boosted in last year's tax bill.

Stocks Lose On N.Y. Market

By Frank l\izI.clVllIien, Associated Press Financial Writer (By Guardian’: spacial Wire) NEW YORK, April 27. — Stocks leaped on the deep end in todays market for losses ranging from 1 to

around 10 points.

It was the worst break since July 26, 1934, the Associated Press aver- age of 80 issues ending with a. net decline of 2.3 points at 60.6. Volume picked up on the selling. transfers totalling 2,445,440 shares, the largest aggregate in more than six weeks. Brokers pointed to the swing to the left in the French elections. wlt.h the possibility of franc devalu- ation and a resultant flight home of foreign capital. ‘

In addition they cited the dislike of some financial quarters for the new corporation tax measure now before Congress.

Among the pleasing items of the day. coming. however, after the close of the market, was the first quarter statement of General Mot- ors disclosing earnings of 01.1’: against as cents in the cones, ‘ mg 1935 period.

Demoralization of the list was ex- empllfied by the fact that of 900 issues that changed hands there were ‘let declines. a record since the July collapse of 1934.

Outstanding casualticn among shares included J. 1.

LIBERAL CRITICISM

The Railway Minister made some blunt statements concerning the board of tl'ustees—Judgc Fullerton. chairman, J. E. Iabelle and F. K. Morrow.

Here are some of them:

The trustees “have made no real progress toward the improvement of our railway situation and they have failed to achieve any substantial cooperative economies to secure which was the principal object of their appointment."

“Illterllally there is much unrest among C. N. R. employees who ev- L‘l‘YWhcre appear to regard the trus- tee lnctllod oi direction and control with distrust. and suspicion. This is

pl’iillilX'lly due to the fact that in matters of actual management the chief operating officer with the tit- ular rank of President (Hunger- ford) is subordinated to a trustee board of three laymen inexperienced in railway problems and who know nothing f actual railway practice."

“As t lngs stand, the trustee board is responsible to no one, is apparently without ability and so far as public relations are concern- ed, is without even a, voice."

“The powers granted to the. chair- man (of the trustees) have endowed him with practically autocratic au- thority. the result of which is that while you have a. board of three trustees. it is really a one-man af- fair."

“In general, the man holding the tit'e of President ti-Iungerford)— admitted one of the ablest railway executives in North America, who in ills 45 years of service with Can- adian Railways has risen from the lowest to the highest rung in the railway lndciel-—has had his powers reduced to that of adviser to the chairman who has made himself the real operating head of the railway property."

Mr. Howe said it was the govern- ment's intention to appoint an out- standing representative of labor to the board. The government would have no direct representation on the board and will not return to the former practise of making the de- puty minister of railways a director. All contact between the railway and the govemmcnt will be through the chairman of the board and the min. ister or railways.

The new set-up will be different from that of Sir Henry Thornton, Mr. Howe said. Thomton had a direct contract with the government with the railway department repre- sented on the board by the deputy minister. The new board's contract will be continuous, not casual as before.

REVIEWS EVENTS

Mr. Bennett proceeded to a review of the events leading up to the Dun Commission's inquiry and read ex- tracts from the commission's report. No more competent commission had ever been appointed to make an in- vestigation, he said. The commis- sion's report had been somewhat misconstrued because a constant ef- fort had been made to make the people believe the Conservative gov- ernment was opposed to the Can- adian National.

There was a school of thought in Canada. which always sought to may politics with any serious problem and the Liberal opposition of a few years ago had joined that school with reference to the C. N. R... he stated. Mr. Bennett said he hoped the railway would be successful un- der the Liberal Government. He had hoped much more strontzly it would be successful under his own government. Every sensible Canad- ian did the same because the suc- cess of the Canadian National was essential to Canada.

"The Minister (Mr. Howe) omit- ted nll reference to one point." said Mr. Bennett. "He did not tell this House that railway difficulties could be solved by taking up thousands of miles of rail. by abandoning tracks. That is where politics come in. Neither the Minister nor m.V!L‘ll CHI lift this question out of politics he- eause it has been steeped in Pollilcl for 25 years."

Every time abandoning any mile- age was suggested In the last. five years the Liberal opposition l'l|l5‘-‘d a protest. They charged the stove?“- ment was seeking to destroy the railway.

"We cannot possibly justify the

LEAVES CHAMBER.

Jean Francois Pouliot, t.he tem- pestuous Liberal membe: for Tem- iscouata, provided the real high- light of the debate when he rushed from the chamber, waving papers high above his head, rather than withdraw a statement challenged by the Conservative leader and ruled out of order by speaker Cas- grain.

counted, there had been raids on

The story of Prince Edward Is- land's Militia Law of 1760 and the difficulty of enforcement it met in some quarters of the colony. known at that time as the Island of St. John's, was told yesterday by Ma- jor T. E. MacN.utt, at the Rotary Club luncheon meeting.

During the course of his address Major Mactiutt dealth with Gover- nor 1"anning’s “siege" of Malpeque which is not to be found in any history book.

The militia law which called up- on all male residents of the colony between the ages of 18 and 60 to “heart arms and duly attend all muster: and military exercises" was passed toward the close of the Am- erican l'-wvolutiorlary War for the (protection of inhabitants of the island and their property. on sev- eral occasions, Major Ma.cNutt re-

M.r. Bennett said this was not true and wanted it withdrawn.

The Temiscouata. member said the whole story came out before the House banking committee but unfortunately he did not have the‘ report so he could quote. it accur-I alcly. He was quite sure, ilo\vcve':, his facts were corrected.

The Speaker ruled he must with-i, draw the remark and Mr. Pallliotl sparred for time.

Finance Minister Dunning sug-1 scared to Mr. Poullot. he obey the‘ Speaker's ruling.

Mr. Bennett insisted on a, with- drawal.

The Speaker pressed again.

.But the triple appeal had no er- feet on Mr. Pouliot who rushed from the chamber, his speech un- dellvered. shouting "I will see the book before withdrawing."

CONDEMNS ‘BILL

In his condemnation of the ONE. bill. the Conservative leader asked: "How is this country to save itself if we continue to play p01- itics with the Canadian Nationzll?"

The report of the Duff Commis- sion. which led to the trustee sys- tem of management, was studded with warnings of the inevitable dis- asters following political interfer- ence with the innnngelltent. .\Ir. Bennett declared.

“After all, members of P:lrlia- ment are human. They are think-i lng of their constituencies and‘, their party fortunes. Their desire‘ to project. a. branch line here and‘ a branch line there. to extend fur-| ther this line and that line, reflects the inevitable disaster that. over. takes parliamentary effort. to deal with a. property owned by the people themselves," he warned.

Mr. Bennett could me ill zhe bill, a plan "to get back to the thin red thread of cxtravagallcc and worse, to complete subjugzution of this property to political colisideratinlis and control." He feared “:1. state of, mind on the part of those en-‘ trusted with responsibility at head-‘ office, unconscious if you like, that; expresses itself in a desire to please those who are in office." ‘
