Guffey Coal Bill Undergoes Changes?Black's Probers Enrage Hurley. Bv EDWARD W. PICKARD ? Western New?n?n#r REPUBLICAN leaders throughout the country were Immensely heart ened?probably too much so?by the result of the by-election In the First district of Rhode Is ]anj Charles F. Risk, v| Republican and deter f m mined opponent of the New Deal, defeated I Wj* i Antonio Prince, Demo Si J crat, by nearly 13,000 l: .4, S rotes, capturing the B . -,,n J|| seat In congress which Francis R. Condon, Democrat, resigned to fr A 6? on the State Su preme court The re Chas. F. Risk versa] was s0 decisive that the Republicans hailed it as a clear indication that President Roose velt would be defeated for re-election nest year. Representative B. H. Snell of New York, minority leader, made a speech about it in the house in which he said: "This is the first time the people of any part of the country have had an opportunity to pass on the reckless and extravagant expenditures of the administration. They have passed up on it in a very decisive manner. The election shows the people are begin ning to think. The handwriting is on the wall. From now on we will wit ness similar rejections by the citizenry of the Hew Deal program." Other Republican congressmen spoke in similar vein, but John J. O'Connor, New York Tammany Democrat, coun tered with the assertion that there was a split in the Democratic party In the Rhode Island district; while Tom Blan ton of Texas shouted shame on Rhode Island because It had asked more fed eral aid than almost any other state. Anti-New Deal Democratic senators, like Gerry, Byrd and Tydings, agreed the election was significant, but from the White House there was no com ment Former Senator Fess of Ohio with surprising frankness expressed the be lief that the G. O. P. would have to wait until 1940 to elect a President. Voicing the opinion of many, the vet eran campaigner said: "I don't see how the strongest Republican without all that money next year can beat the weakest Democrat with nearly $5,000, 000,000 at his disposal." U EPUBLICANS of the ten Midwest era states that participated in the Grass Boots conference In Springfield, I1L, have made the Grass Roots' move ment a permanent auxiliary of the party. Harrison E. Spengler of Iowa is Its chairman, Mrs. Leslie Wheeler of Illinois the vice chairman, and Jo Ferguson of Oklahoma, the secretary. Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky, not rep resented at the Springfield meeting, have been Invited to loin in the move ment CEXATOR HUGO BLACK of Ala ^ bama may bring out a lot of facts in his inquiry Into lobbying, but his way of conducting the Investigation is not winning him any credit The house has all along felt that he was trying to bully an,) ous witnesses before ?he senate committee ^ with reason, that they p , Hurltv were being treated un fairly. One of these witnesses who com plained bitterly was Patrick J. Hurley, secretary of war in the Hoover ad ministration. He testified that he had received $100,000 from the Associated Gas and Electric system in the last three years, but Insisted he was paid for legal advice only and had done no lobbying. Hurley was not permitted ?o read a prepared statement, and Black's Interjections and questions so angered the witness that he rose to his feet and shouted: "Everyone knows all you gentlemen are good Prosecutors I Of course, you don't know what it Is to be fair or just Tou ?ry to put words into a witness' mouth, lour questions are all on the type of ?he 'Why don't you stop beating your wife?* query." Joseph P. Tumulty, who was secre tary to President Wilson, also was put ?u the stand and was not treated so ?oughly. He, too, admitted receiving considerable sums from utility con cerns, and like Hurley be denied that he had done any lobbying. Tumulty estified that he paid former Senator George n. Moses (Rep.), N. H? $5,000 and would pay another $2,500 to John Walsh, a brother of the late Senator Thomas J. Walsh (Dem.), Mont '?pllERE were strong Indications that the house ways and means committee would produce an entirely new measure to replace the Guflfey bituminous coal bill. Chairman Doughton revealed that the commutes had adopted a number of amendments designed to bring the measure within constitutional limits and to meet ob jections that It would discriminate against some coal districts. The com mittee still stood 14 to 11 against the bill, however. The President was said to have informed the Democratic mem bers that he was agreeable to any changes they might wish to make pro vided the main objectives of the meas ure were maintained. VTTOLENTLT attacked from all sides * and nowhere defended with en thusiasm, the President's new sliare the-wealth tax bill nevertheless was ? put through the house 'I because of the great administration major s' * Ity and also because 1. the congressmen are *r> u tlred ?ut aDd easer t? I go home. Represent It I atlve Treadway, Re f 'i-'tSr ? publican, of Massa ja f| chusetts, made a last effort against the measure with a reso lution to send it back Sen. Barbour {0 committe?i but this was easily defeated. As passed by the house, the bill is not quite what the President asked for. Briefly summarized, it increases taxes on Individual Incomes over $50, 000, substitutes a graduated corpor ation-income tax for the present flat levy, puts new taxes on Inheritances and gifts in addition to those already borne by estates and gifts, Imposes new taxes of 5 to 20 per cent on "ex cess" profits of corporations. It Is designed to raise revenue esti mated at between $250,000,000 and $270,000,000. Its warmest friends couldn't explain how this would do much In the way of bringing about what the President calls "wider dis tribution of wealth," or In the way of balancing the budget The measure was handed on to the senate with dubious prospects. It was expected the senate finance committee would study it for about a week, and in the meanwhile the conservative Re publicans and not a few Democrats were preparing to fight it Senator W. W. Barbour of New Jersey, Repub lican, fired an opening gun with a statement In which he said ? "V otes, and votes alone, are the objective of this half-baked measure." Declaring the bill "has no relation to making income meet outgo, but Is Intended to accomplish some weird social objective," Barbour continued: "What this bill actually attempts Is to climb upon that bard-ridden steed, "Share-the-Wenltb," and ride him away while the demagogues who have pressed him sorely in the past are look ing in the other direction. "The bill should be laid away until the next session of congress when the budget for the ensuing year will be presented. Then, In the light of care fully appropriated federal moneys, we can determine how much revenue will be needed to operate. "Taxes can be levied deliberately as a true revenue measure. Any other program is not good business and is not good government." One change made by the house against the President's wishes involved corporations' gifts to charities. Mr. Roosevelt was firmly against letting corporations deduct from their taxable income any gifts to charity. Just as firmly the house voted to let them deduct up to 5 per cent of their In comes. WITH gome reluctance the senate began consideration of the Walsh bill giving the President power to require minimum wage and maxi mum hour standards of all firms bid ding for government contracts. That measure has been added to the admin istration's "must" list The Repub licans were preparing to fight the bill as another government plan for regu lation of private Industry. They point out that It hits about every industry in the country, since It not only ap plies to corporations selling to the government but extends also to stare and local projects wholly or partly financed by federal funds. NOT to be dismayed by the death of NBA, Senator J. C. O'Ma honey of Wyoming thinks the objec tives of that contraption, high labor standards and fair competition, can be realized, and for that purpose he has drawn up a measure for the regulation of all national commerce by licensing business. The bill creates a licensing system for businesses engaged In commerce among the states and provides a na tional Incorporation law. The federal trade commission, the government's business policeman In the days before NRA and the agency to which the New Deal turned after NRA codes were outlawed, would be the key stone of the new plan. O'Mahoney's bill would Increase Its membership from five to nine, with three com missioners representing employees, three employers, and three the gen eral public. ]SJOTWITHSTANDING warnings by h v Dr. Hjalmar Schacht and other sane Germans, some of the Nazi lead ers Insist on pushing to further ex tremes the war on ^H|||I^G| Jews and Catholics. For Instance, Paul Jo seph Goebbels, minls I jgfcSP? ter of propaganda, In a speech at Essen an ; \jjB nounced drastic ac > 'S3*- ' /U tlon against all "en emies" of the Nazi f state?Jews, Catholics, ?k ' A/ I the foreign press and mtmJi the Stahlhelm war vet _ . ? . erans. He predicted Paul Goebbels these lmportant de. velopments: 1. Suppression of the Catholic press and Intensification of the Nazi cam paign against all Catholic opponents of the third reich. 2. Nationwide dissolution of the Stahlhelm. 3. An official ban In near future on marriages between Jews and Aryans. E*XGLAND and France were still try ^ ing to find the way to avert war between Italy and Ethiopia, but Pre mier Mussolini of Italy was so skep tical that he ordered 75,000 more men to the colors. By the first of October he will have about a million men in uniform. Haile Selassie, the Ethi opian emperor, was reported to have sanctioned the concentration of 60,000 of his troops on Italy's east Afrloan frontiers.

BURGESS DANNY'S HOME-COMING WHEN the first Jolly Sunbeams came stealing through the Green Forest, Danny Meadow Mouse began to be uneasy. He was thoroughly rest ed and the dangers of the dreadful night were already forgotten. Per haps I should not say that they were ; forgotten, for, of course, that Isn't quite true. But Danny had quite put them out of his mind. That is the ! way with the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows. Dan gers that are past are not worth think i ! ing about. They must keep their minds i clear for possible dangers to come. So Danny's thoughts were not of what he had been through, but were wholly of getting home. He thanked his cousin, Whitefoot, for all the latter had done for him and i then climbed out of the hollow stump and once more started for the Green , Meadows and home. As long as he I was in the Green Forest he was anx i ious. He didn't feel at home there. I He didn't know what to expect He i Imagined all sorts of dangers. But the ? Instant he reached the edge of the 1 Green Meadows his heart became light i He still had a long way to go and ? many things might happen before he I reached that snug little home and ! Nanny Meadow Mouse and the babies. 1 But Danny's heart was light for on 1 the Green Meadows he knew just what ' to do and where to go. He could see ' , Bedtall the Hawk sailing round and round, high In the blue, blue sky. He knew that Bedtall was watching with " those wonderful eyes of his for a fat ? Meadow Mouse, but that didn't worry ? Danny In the least You see, he knew ' Just how to keep out of sight 1 After a while he reached one of his 1 own private little paths. The brown ? grass hung over It making a regular * little tunnel of It Danny Scampered D along as fast as his short legs would " , take him and so presently he reached '? his snug, safely hidden little home. ' The half-grown children raced out to meet him to see If he had brought them something. Inside, the babies 1 were having an after-dinner nap. Of V Nanny Meadow Mouse there was no 3 sign. You see, Nanny was out getting f her own dinner. It was while he wait ' ed for her that Danny began to won 5 a ? ?= Know? : i * That Easter probably derives its name from Eastre, a Sax on goddess?

V der how ever he would he able to ex plain his long absence. He suspected that Nanny would be very cross, very cross, indeed. He suspected that he was due for a scolding, "such a scolding as only Nanny's sharp tongue could give. He knew that he deserved it He was glad, ever so glad, to be home, but he felt most uncomfortable. By and by, as he sat just outside his snug little home, he heard foot steps hurrying along one of the pri vate little paths. It was Nanny hur rying home to# her babies. When she saw Danny she stopped short and stared at him as if she thought her eyes were playing her tricks. Then, instead of the sharp words he expected and knew he richly deserved, Nanny rushed to him crying, "Oh, Danny, I'm so glad! I'm so glad! I thought you were dead !M And Danny Meadow Mouse knew then how great is love. ? T. W.
