New Suggestions For
Tax Revision Should
Help Business Cycle
Newly-completed tax revision
recommendations should stimulate
business substantially without
lowering ihe government’s Income,
a House tax sub-committee de-
clared this week.
It handed to the full House ways
and means committee 63 recom-'
mendations for tax changes, in-;
eluding proposals for extensive i
modification of the two levies I
which business men have criticiz-
ed most—those on capital gains
and undistributed corporate prof- j
The full committee arranged to j
begin public hearings on them
immediately.
The sub-committee contended
the principle of the Undistributed
profits tax was sound and should
be- retained, that complaints al>out
hardships resulting from it were 1
exaggerated, and that the sever- !
ity of normal Income and undls- I
tributed profits taxes on corpora-
ti ns “has often been overstated."
But it suggested a multiplicity
of changes in corporate taxes!
which it said should eliminate
some causes of hardships and in-
equity and ease the tax load of i
small companies.
The subcommittee contended,
t- o, that the application of income
taxes to income derived from cap-
ital gains was “Justifiable on eco-
nomic, equitable and practical
grounds."
It said “the underlying business
situation and the related specula-
tive temper 'of the times are pri-
marily responsible for st ck-mar-
ket and real-estate booms and1
collapses.”

Tattle Receipts Show
Increase On Market
Many South Texas communities are now working
toward building a new warm springs center for crip-
pled children near Gonzales, where the Gonzales Warm
Springs Foundation has acquired 4«» acres of land ad-
joining a 360-acre state park to i*e used as a recrea-
tional and playground area. Shown in picture No. 1 is
the master plan for the new Texas Foundation, where
it is hoped that many of Texas’ more than 36.000 crip-
pled children may soon be going to be cured of their
disabilities.
Many communities are planning balls and various
other forms of benefits to raise money to help in build-
ing the center for crippled children that will be very
similar, but on a larger scale, to the Georgia Warm
Springs Foundation, which has become widely known
through President Roosevelt’s interest. The Foundation

eral market very uneven but weak
with early bifls and some sales
lower on practically all classes,
others including light weight
calves and stockers about steady
with late last week.
Most plain and medium short-
fed steers and yearlings $5.35 to
$6 25. with good 1013-lb. fed steers
to $6.79. and goefd light weight
yearlings also t.. $6 75. Thin light

every facility for their welfare, comfort and happiness.
2. Architect's drawing of a cross section of an out-
door pool, where convalescing children may take pres-
cribed exercises in warm water <>nt of doors.
3. and 6. There are now more than 36,000 crippled
children in the state of Texas like these shown here
who are in need of a place to go for treatment. The Gon-
zales Foundation, which has a guiding board of 38 men
and women in all parts of South Texas, would provide
the way for many of Texas’ little cripples to be made
well again.
4. Development of the Foundation for crippled chil-
dren near Gonzales centers around an artesian spring
that flows more than 200,000 gallons of warm, health-
at a temperature of 106 degrees, is free from offensive1
odor and is good to drink. The water from this spring
as shown in picture 4 is to be used in the therapeutic
pools.
5. One of the many spring-fed pools in the Pal-
metto park area, which is noted for its wide range
and numerous varieties of flowers and plant life.
7. Physiotherapy building, where indoor pools, dor-
mitories, kitchens and school faculties are to be pro-
vided for crippled children. The architect has taken
care in planning the Foumjatioa to keep the whole from,
taking on an “institutional” atmosphere, striving ra-
ther for the atmosphere of a large country estate.
8. Recreation building where entertainment and
social meetings of the Foundation’s patients and visit-
ors will be held.
