Good Evening, Everybody:- Secretary-of-the-Treasury Ogden ills asked "the Senate Finance Committee today to "fix up the tax bill and improve it somewhat. The Secretary claims that the bi I I produced by the House of Representatives has a. number of bad features. The Senate is considering the bill now, and will undoubtedly make some changes. The United Press in the New York Wor I d-Te I egram quotes Secretary iviills as declaring that you "can't distribute wealth by taxation." He declares that the bill, as it stands, won't provide enough money to balance the budget. He maintains that the bill includes taxes that wi I I discourage business. He be I ieves that the Corporat ion Income Tax rate is wrong, and that the Stock Transfer tax is too high n o O 1 i j II J ! ! icJt Page----- ^ Tonight's check-up on the returns of yesterday’s election in Wisconsin shows three definite things.

Health is the most important, the most neglected and carelessly treated of all human resources. Health is not the main end of life but it is an essential, even an indispensable means xX or condition for achieving some of the most highly valued ends or goals of I iv inn. Health is not the most interesting thing to think about, or to work for, except for those who have lost or endangered a serious part of health and are therefore compel led to become health seekers for a longer or sh )rt er per i od of time. Some people keep well a long time, a few live to a ripe old age without giving any particular attention to he a!th, but they are simply lucky anH they are fewer in number each year. As civilization develops with scientific discoveries and devices, many forms of protection, comfort and LQD - 2 Page__ b satisfaction increase, but at the same timp , in a any .ays, I ife and health b e e o n e more difficult. ms a physician, I confess that conscious attention to, or care of one's health is often very uninteresting and may even seem to be a nuisance.
