signed under the new government
farm benefit plan—the soil conser-
vation program.
The number represents about 30
per cent of the county’s farms, but
considerably over 50 per cent of the
farm acreage. County Agent G R.
Warren estimated.
Letters outlining rules of compli-
ance with the soil conservation pro-
gram were mailed this week to the
applying farmers Warren said.
One question frequently asked of
the county agent and committee-
men is what crop can be planted
after green oats are plowed under,
Warren added. Any soil conserving
crop can be planted in-such case,
the agent said, and no restriction
is placed on its use—it may be
grazed or harvested in any manner
However, no soil depleting crop can
be planted, if the farmer is to re-
ceive the Federal benefit. Also, if
he wishes not to plant after plow-
ing under the green oats, the farm-
er is not required to plant any-
thing.

Although none of the legislators
would make public data on the
agreement. It was known that it
was reached after discussion of a
new promise proposal including:
A graduated normal tax on cor-
porate income, the levy ranging
from 8 to 15 per cent.
A levy ranging from 0 or 7 per
cent to 37 per cent on undistribut-
ed corporation income.
Normal Corporate Income Levy
It was disclosed by conferees that
the House delegation had yielded
to the Senate and agreed to Impose
a normal tax on corporate income.
Previously, the House bad called
for repeal of the present normal
tax, now ranging from 12 1-2 to 15
per cent, and the substitution of a
new graduated levy on net income,
ranging up to 42 1-2 per cent and
depending on the percentage of in-
come withheld from distribution to
stockholders.
The Senate had voted only a 6
per cent tax on undistributed prof-
its, while calling for a normal levy
of 15 1-2 to 18 per cent on net cor-
porate income.
The latest compromise made pub-
lic. With its graduated tax of 6 or
7 per cent to 27 per cent on undis-
tributed profits, was closer to the
House bill than most recent com-
promise proposals.
The compromise laid before the
conferees for discussion last night
would lay a comparatively light tax
on small corporations which distrib-
ute their earnings, but would im-
pose much stiffer levies on big con-
cerns retaining their income.
Graduated Tax
The normal tax on net corporate
income would be graduated as fol-
lows: 8 per cent on the first 83.000;
11 per cent on the next 813,000; 13
per cent on the next *25,000. 15
per cent on all over 840,000
On this would be superimposed
a graduated tax on undistributed
income running as follows: 6 or 7
per cent (still undetermined) on
the first 10 per cent; 13 per cent
on the next 10 per cent; 17 per
cent on the next 30 per cent; 33
per cent on the next 20 per cent;
27 per cent on all over 60 per cent.

WASHINGTON, June 18,—(—
Senator Carter Glass of Virginia
appeared headed today for a new
position of Influence over the na-
■ tion’s monetary and banking policy
' almost on the eve of a Democratic
convention which will re-define the
party’s attitude toward such ques-
tions.
The sudden death yesterday of
the vetedan Senator Duncan U
Fletcher of Florida, chairman at
the Eenate Banking and Currency
Committee, placed Glass in line
for this chairmanship, in some ways
the most important on capital hill
it still was uncertain today
whether Glass would accept the
position, but in view of his life
long interest in banking and fiscal
affairs most observers believed he
would.
The expected increase in his pow-
er added interest to recent spec-
list ion as to whether he would
plunge into the councils of the
Democratic convention in Philadel-
phia next week determined to
fight for platform planks repre-
senting his views on money and
banking.
Although he has emphasized
that he will support President
Roosevelt and the Democratic tick-
ei. he has not hesitated to differ
sharply from the New Deal in sev-
eral respects so marked was his
dissent at times that President
Roosevelt once smilingly dubbed him
the "unreconstructed rebel,*
The Virginian, who was offered
the post of Secretary of Treasury
at the beginning of the Roosevelt
Administration and turned it
down, has attacked especially the
New Deal monetary policies, with
such wry observations as "r you
have any gold they’ll put you to
Jail."
They said, however, they expect-
ed to seal a tentative understand-
ing on the vital measure this after-
noon or tonight.
Lacking treasury calculations on
a new plan for a graduated tax
both on normal corporation income
and undistributed corporation
earnings, the conferees spent the
morning working out minor details
of the involved measure.
Exact details were withheld
pending a final drawing up today
of a compromise in a Senate-
House conference but it was
revealed that the conferees had
tentatively agreed on the most con-
troversial angle of the proposed rev-
enue bill.
