President's Farm Relief Bill Passes the House; Labor
Unions Oppose Unemployment Relief Bill;
Public Works Next on Program.
THE President's farm relief bill
passed the house with both Demo
crats and Republicans voting for and
against It. During the hours of ora
uiry, fiiiiiuicn niiin'm
exclusively to expla
nation on the pari of
members as to why
they would vote for or
against the hill, many
Interesting statements
were made.
?'In ordinary times
I wouldn't support a
measure of this kind,"
was the statement of
Marvin Jone. /?"<"
the agriculture com
mittee after a ballot had prohibited
amendments. "But we are at war.
And while this war is on I'm going to
follow the man at the other end of i
the avenue who has the flag In his
hand. I don't think this bill can make
things any worse. God knows we all
hope It will make things better."
"This Is a child of the jig-saw puzzle t
age," said Representative Clarke of
New York, the agriculture committee's
ranking Republican. "But filled with
horrors and helllshness as it Is I'm
going to follow the President."
Representative Hope (Rep., Kan.)
said he could not support it. "You are
putting into the hands of one man con
trol of the lives of 30,000.000 people
who live on farms," he said. "If you
vote for this bill, you're simply voting 1
for a bigger and better farm board."
In the senate the bill will not have
?uch clear sailing as It had in the
house, and It Is expected It will pass
only after being amended to take out
of It provisions many members of both
the senate and house object to. [t Is
not safe to predict what the bill will
provide for by the time It gets back
to the White House for the President's
signature.
CONGRESS now has before It the
final two, of three, steps In the
l- President's unemployment relief pro
gram. The first of these provides for
the Immediate enrollment of workers
I to the extent of approximately 250,000
for concentration In government es
' tabllshed camps, the men to be era
ployed In flood control, prevention of
soil erosion, building of roads In gov
ernment forest reserves. In forestry
and in any other work which the Pres
ident may direct.
The men congregated in these camps
are to be provided with housing, food,
clothing, medical attendance, and to be
paid a cash wage of not more than $1
per day. In the case of men with fam
ilies a portion of the cash wage is to be
allotted for the support of the families.
The recruiting of this "civilian con
servation force" Is to be on the basis
of the number of unemployed in the
diiTerent states in so far as that is
possible.
The expense, for the present at least.
Is to he met, by diverting from the
treasury unexpended balances of ap
propriations made by previous sessions
of ,congress for other purposes. It Is
said that about $40,000,000 is avail
able through such a source, and It Is
expected this sum will maintain this
plan for about ten weeks.
There is much opposition to this
proposed law on the part of labor*
unions because of the low wage of $1
per day. Representative C'onnery,
Idemocratic chairman of the house la
bor committee, refused to introduce
the hill because of the labor union
opposition.
The second step is an appropria
tion through which further grants for
unemployment relief may he made to
the states.
The third step, which the President
will submit later, "extends to a broad
public works labor creating program,"
including the operation of Muscle
Shoals, the development of other pow
er projects, vast reforestation plans,
and a public building program In
volving the expenditure of $250,000.
000. cost of carrying out the
"three steps" will be about two bil
lion dollars, and It is expected the
President will propose to cover half
of that amount with a bond Issue.
'jA IE passage of the economy bill
* puts the question of government
economies squarely up to the Presi
dent. That law and the one passed by
the last congress putting Into the
hands of the President the reorguniza
t ??n of government departments and
bureaus, K|ve to the President dicta
torial powers over government ex
?>FeiMf}tures for salaries up to the point
?f ? 15 per cent reduction, the num
ber of deimrtments and bureaus and
the employees needed to operate them,
and the amounts to be paid to fet
?rans, and to what veterans.
r
It is expected that such reductions
as are made in the salaries of govern
ment departments will be effective
April 1, but the savings made in the
payments to veterans cannot, under
the law, be effective until July 1. For
the nest fiscal year, beginning July
1. It is predicted the economies effect
ed by the President will amount to a
total of $508,052,000, divided as fol
lows :
1. Elimination of nonservice
connected disability al
lowances to World war
veterans $201,652,000
S. Reduction In pay of gov
ernment employees.... 125.000,000
3. Reduction of Spanish
American war pensions. 05,000,000
4. Establishment of uniform
schedules for disability
payments to veterans.. 40,000,000
5. Limitation on retroactive
payments 25,000,000
3. Miscellaneous 22,000,000
Total 1508,652.000
The plan for the reorganisation and
consolidation of government depart
ments and bureaus has not yet been
announced, but there will undoubted
ly be an additional saving of froni
$300,000,000 to half a billion dollars
effected in that way.
The entire matter of economies In
the administrative end of the govern
ment Is now In the hands of the Pres
ident.
CHARLES E. MITCHELL, former
chairman of the National City
bank of New York, was arrested at
his home charged with willfully evad

The warrant was ?
based on an affidavit x

Homer S.
Cumminge
The feturn filed by Mr. Mitchell for
1919 showed a purported loss of $48.
000, which, of course, resulted in his
paying no tax for that year.
In Washington, It was reported, At
torney General Homer Cummlngs had
conferred with President Itoosevelt,
and that Mr. Roosevelt "fully ap
proved of the action."
The Washington authorities have di
rected Mr. Medalie to present the case
to the federal grand Jury at once with
a view to an early trial.

State Cord el I Hull
asked the embassy in
Berlin to make a com
plete report on the
situation.
This action was tak
en as a result of the
representations made
to the State depart
ment by a delegation
from the American
Cordell Hud Jewlsn congress, head
ed by Rabbi Stephen
S. Wise of New York.
The department Issued the follow
ing statement:
"Following the visit of Rabbi Wise
the department has Informed the
American embassy In Berlin of the
press reports of mistreatment of Jews
in Germany.
"The department also Informed the
embassy of the deep concern these re
ports are causing In this country.
"The department has instructed the
embassy fo make, in collaboration with
the consuls, a complete report on the
situation."
BEF.lt of 3.2 per cent by weight and
4 per cent hy volume alcoholic
content will he on sale legally In 14
states on April 7. The house of rep
resentatives refused to accept the
senate amendment providing for 3.05
per cent, and the conference commit
tee decided to accept the house per
centage; the committee also killed the
Borah amendment providing that the
beverage could not be sold to children
under sixteen years of age.
As soon as the new law becomes op
erative and heer Is actually on sale
the "drys" plan to bring a test case
to be rushed through to the Supreme
court for the purpose of determining
the constitutionality of the law. and
they believe the court will Hnd that
32 beer la Intoxicating and that the
law la unconstitutional.
It was to minimize this possibility ;
that the senate reduced the alcoholic 1
| content to conform with a finding of j
a British commission which had de- '
cided the highest alcoholic content pos
sible in a non-intoxicating beverage
would be 3.05.
Under the new law the sale of the
beverage will be regulated by states,
counties or municipalities as was true
before the days of prohibition. There
is nothing in the law to prohibit the !
sale In saloons in states or counties or j
municipalities where saloons may bo
wanted, and where such method of
sale may be authorized.
The sale of beer has been legalized ;
in only 14 states effective on April 7. j
The prohibition laws have been re- 1
pealed In five other states, but the
repeal In these states does not become
effective until after April 7, and in
one state not until July 1. The other
29 states are dry either because of
legislation enacted after the adoption
of the Kighteentb amendment, or were
dry previous to that enactment. Some
of these states will possibly repeal
their dry laws before the present ses
sion of state legislatures adjourn.
GOVERN&IKNT by the people Is
dead In Germany. The relchstag
has abdicated in favor of a dictator
ship by the Hitler government, which
nu?lins fhnt A ??V?
Hitler, former A us- i
trlan painter, is In su- !
prerne power. The j
session of the reich- j
stag nt which this inn- \
mentous decision was j
ratified, was attended j
hy all the pomp and j
circumstance of mon- f
arch la I days. The j
former crown prince |
and other members of
the Hohenzollern fam
Adolph Hitler
uy were saluted with all the formality
of the pre-war court.
Von Hindenburg In his nddress
opening the session of the reichstag
sounded an appeal to the people "for a
national rebirth of the soul for the
weal of a unified, free and proud jGer
many."
Hitler, standing before a golden
reading desk, responded. He appealed
for foreign amity. He rejected the
charge of Gorman war guilt as a lie,
and asserted that neither the former
kaiser nor the government desired the
conflict. He promised to restore "true
unity to all Germany, all states, all
professions and classes.
"We want to be sincere friends to
the world at large," the chancellor
said, "and to possess a real peace
which will help heal the wounds from
which we are suffering. For years
heavy burdens have pressed upon our
people. After a period of proud re
vival, poverty and distress have visited
us once more.
"Millions of Germans seek their
i daily bread In vain. Our economy Is
desolated, our finances shattered. For
2,000 years this faith has clung to our
people; ever ngainst our ascent comes
our fall. The German?victim of in
ner disintegration, disunited In spirit,
and divided In will and thus helpless
in action?becomes powerless to main
tain his own existence."
The new order of things awoke Ger-.
many to a pitch of enthusiasm not
witnessed In many years. Bonfires
flared and torchlight processions were
held In every city and village. Eighty
thousand cheering persons paraded In
Berlin.

HOW THE GREVf FIGHT
ENDED
THK little people of the Old Or
chard still tell about the great fight
which happened up near the corner
by the dustj* road. Of course. Sammy
Jay saw the start of it because he
was rlgh* there. And of course It
wa.sn t long before every body in f tie
Old Orchard who could fly was right
where he could see nil that went on,
for Sammy's voice reached even to the
fur corner where roily Chuck was
So all the feathered folk3 forgot ev
erylhing else and hurried over to see
.'lie hgliL Such a racket a9 they
made! Theii tongues fairly Hew as
they shouted encouragement to John
ny Chink.
Johnny needed all the encourage
inent possible. To have fought Refldy
Cox alone would have been oo small
task hut to linve to light two at once
was more than twice as bad. But
lol'tiny Chuck is not only stout In
body, he i" stout In heart os well. He
is the kind that never soys die. There
was rio fear In him ? now. A great
rage filled Id in and drove out all fear
"Coward!" he snarled, as Buddy Fox
faced him. "Coward! Coward! You
didn't dare face me alone!"
And nil the birds took up the cry
and screamed "Coward! Coward!
Coward!" at Reddy Fox.
Now. Mrs. Beddy hat' no mind to
1 spoil' her beautiful * red coat if she
i could help it so she was quite willing
I to sit by at tirst and let Beddy do
' (lit. fighting. But Johnny Chuck knew
that all the time she was watching for
a chance to Jump at hiin from behind,
while Roddy held, him helpless, so as
he fought he tried to keep both Beddy
and Mrs Beddy In front of liltn. Aft
er a little he was aide to get his bark
to an apple tree and then he felt bet
ter. Beddy Fox tried his best to pull
him away from this, but be couldn't.
Johnny Chuck was too big and heavy.
Besides ho was giving Beddy all he
could do to keep from being torn by
those sharp teeth.
It soon became clear that Beddy was
getting a little the worse of It. John
ny's coat was tough. Underneath that
tough con! was a layer of fat and
Reddy's teeth had to go through both
the tough coat and the fat before they
could do any real harm to Johnny
.Chuck. Mrs. Beddy soon saw this and
that Beddy would have to have help.
So she watched. Jumping this way and
that way. for a chance to dodge In
ard seize Jrhnny where he wo (lid soon j
be made helpl ?3x. That this chance
was bound to come sooner or later
she was sure.
Now It happened that Bowser the
H^und took It Into his head to trot
down the dusty road early that morn
Ing. When he reached the corner
where Johnny Chuck's house was, of
I coufke, he heard the racket made by
the birds and knew right away that
something was going on. lie stopped
to listen. Mingled with cries of the
birds were snarls and growls. Bowser
scrambled up to the bank and looked
over the stone wall. One glance was
enough. There right before him were
Keddy and .Mrs. Foil With a roar
Bowser was over that wall and half
way to the fighters in the twinkling
of an eye.
At he sound of that voice Keddy
and Mra. Foi bad but one thought,
afid that was to get away as fast as
their legs would carry them. IJke a
red Hash .Mrs. lteddy lea pert and dart
ed down through the Old Orchard to
ward the Green Forest. Reddy tried
to do the same thing, but Johnny
Chrck had set his teeth In Keddy's
shoulder and not even the sound of
Bowser's voice made hlin let go. He
was beyond caring about Bowser.
Keddy struggled with all his might
and fear doubled his strength. Just
in the nick of time be shook himself
free and bounded away. Bowser mere
ly glanced at Johnny Chuck and start
ed after Keddy, his great voice wak
ing all the echoes in the Green Forest.
So ended tlie great fight of which
the little people of the Old Orchard'
tell to tills day. As for Johnny Chuck,
he marched back to his house growling
fiercely all the way and there on his
doorstep he set about licking his
wounds.
