UTAH -- News Review of Current Events the World Over Senate Passes Its Revenue Bill, Rejecting Sales Tax After Ilearing President Hoover Von Papen Becomes German Chancellor. By EDWARD W. PICKARD nil i President Hoover orURStED Into action by Presl- J dent Hoover's warning that government gov-ernment credit was endangered and foreign raids on the dollar were Imminent, Im-minent, the senate In a night session passed Its tax bill designed to bring In a total revenue of$l,121,O00,000.The Chief Executive unexpectedly un-expectedly appeared In person before the senate, for the first time In bis administration, ad-ministration, and read a statement of the serious condition. condi-tion. He urged the Inclusion of a sales tax and restated his position regarding re-garding relief measures and his opposition op-position to the huge public works program fostered by Speaker Garner. Gar-ner. There was no chance for the sales tax, most of the Democratic senators sena-tors having signed an agreement to defeat It. It was rejected by the finance committee, 12 to 8, and Just before the bill was voted on by the senate It was defeated by that body by a vote of 53 to 27. Then, in the midst of great confusion due to relief re-lief from the strain, the senators adopted their measure. The vote was 72 to 11. Having been Informed by Secretary of the Treasury Mills that their committee bill was still some 5275,000,000 shy of the amount needed to balance the budget, the senators provided for most of this by a gasoline tax of 1 cent a gallon, the restoration of income tax rates to the 1922 level and a 8 per cent tax on sales of electricity by private power companies. It was believed the senate and house conferees would speedily ad-Just ad-Just the differences between the senate sen-ate and bouse bills and then the measure would go to the President Presi-dent One amendment to the bill adopted adopt-ed by the senate is worth especial mention. Proposed by Senator Glenn of Illinois, It puts a 100 per cent tax on Incomes earned through violations of state or federal laws, thus taking -the government out of what has been called Its partner Chip with crime. NECESSARY in balancing the budget, the national economy bill providing savings of $230,000,-000 $230,000,-000 was reported favorably by the senate appropriations committee, Among its features is a flat 10 per cent cut in the salaries of all gov ernment workers except the enlisted enlist-ed personnel of the army, navy and marine corps, and those whose salaries sal-aries are specifically protected by the Constitution, such as Judges. There is also a saving of $48,000,-000 $48,000,-000 In the amount given to veterans, vet-erans, The economy bill passed by the house carried reductions in expenditures ex-penditures of only $52,000,000. Both measures authorize the President Presi-dent to reorganize the executive departments. SPEAKER GARNER himself appeared ap-peared as a witness before the house ways and means committee to advocate his $2,300,000,000 federal fed-eral relief bill, which was assailed by the President as a pork barrel raid on the treasury because It listed list-ed a multitude of post offices to be . built all over the country. Garner defended the measure and reminded the committee of Mr. Hoover's Indorsement In-dorsement of a $2,000,000,000 advance public works program recommended by the conference of governors In 1023. Both his bill and the program favored by the President increase the capitalization of the Reconstruct tioa Finance corporation and empower em-power It to make loans for nonfederal non-federal construction. HEINRICH BRUENINQ, chancellor chan-cellor of Germany, and his cabinet cab-inet were forced to resign by President Presi-dent ton Hlndenbcrg because the latter did not agree with his program to save the country from further financial finan-cial collapse and to provide work for the unemployed.

Garfield ity. Both of them were dismissed by the American government for "Improper activities.' Returning to Germany, Von Papen became a gen eral staff officer. He Is a Catholic Centrist, as is Bruenlng, and is ed itor and principal owner of the Catholic organ Germanla. Von Papen's government, largely rightists, is called a "feudal" cabinet by the Berlin press because it Is dominated by members of the old German nobility. The new chancellor chan-cellor is expected to be a stern ruler, for he has often demanded a "national dictatorship freed of parliamentary par-liamentary trimmings." He Is known to favor a Franco-German union against Russia. WRITING of the Republican national na-tional platform was Intrusted by President Hoover to James R. Garfield of Ohio, son of President Garfield and secre tary of the Interior under President Roosevelt He Is to be chairman of the resolutions committee commit-tee and has been busily gathering together to-gether the various planks proposed by party leaders and building the structure struc-ture on which Mr. Hoover and the party will stand. Some days ago be took a rough draft of the platform to the White house and It was edited by the President Pres-ident who deleted some portions and made several additions. So far nothing is known to the public of the manner in which the controversial questions will be handled. Mr. Garfield is not known to have made any statements concerning con-cerning prohibition, but he has already al-ready conferred with Senator Borah, an inveterate dry, who has drawn up a plank dealing with that subject. sub-ject. The senator had a talk with Mrs. Henry W. PeabRdy, chairman of the woman's national committee for law enforcement, who afterward said the senator "agreed with that the voice of the people is in congress and that other matters do not concern us deeply." Representative Bertrand H. Snell of New York, minority lender in the house, told newspaper men he Is cer tain the prohibition plank In the Republican platform will be "lib eral.' Snell said he was express ing his own opinion but that "if anybody tells you the plank won't be liberal, don't believe them." TJ ERBERT HOOVER having ex- pressed a desire to be placed In nomination by a man from California, Cali-fornia, the grateful Job has been given to Joseph Scott of Los Angeles. An-geles. Mr. Scott, who was . born in England, is one of the state's most eminent lawyers and also Is widely wide-ly known In Roman Catholic circles. He was awarded the Laetare medal by the University of Notre Dame in 1918 and was created a Knight of St Gregory by the pope In 1920 for work during the World war. It is not likely the Republican convention will last more than five days, and nominations probably will be made on Friday night The platform plat-form will be submitted on Thursday Thurs-day and there may be a day of open debate on prohibition and some other controversial questions. Democratic managers also are now hopeful that their convention will be short for they naturally wish It to have an appearance of harmony that would be ruined by a deadlock. Franklin D. Roosevelt probably will start in with more than a majority both of delegates and of states. At this writing he has 419 pledged votes from 27 states and territories. His camp claims be will have on the first ballot COS delegates to 4S8 for all others. And ha believes a few ballots will bring over enough votes to give him the 770 required for nomination under the two-thirds rule. Of course there will be n recurrence of the attempts to abrogate ab-rogate that ancient rule. iff ' N Joseph Scott 1 4 i Senator Lewis Premier Saito CE.

NICHOLAS JORGA, once tutor of King Carol of Rumania, has resigned as premier and may be succeeded by Nicholas Tltules-cu, Tltules-cu, now minister to London. Which means that the semi-dictatorship of the country has been found a failure. The resignation of the government govern-ment was the result of financial difficulties. Rumania is broke and the treasury is empty. WASHINGTON'S police force had a problem when the hitchhiking hitch-hiking army of 1,500 war veterans reached the capital city to present their demand for immediate payment of the soldiers' bonus. The men had been conveyed most of the way from the' Far West In trucks supplied by state authorities authori-ties eager to get rid of them, and Senator Costlgan of Colorado Introduced Intro-duced a bill calling for Immediate ap propriation of $75,000 to feed and house them. Senator J. Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, in a Memorial day address at the Washington Soldiers' home, declared that by adopting a course based on threat and coercion these veterans were causing their fellow countrymen in this time of national distress to wonder whether their soldiers served for patriotism or merely for pay. "I warn you as your fellow soldier sol-dier and friend," Senator Lewis continued, con-tinued, "that you risk the defeat of the relief measures you now have a right to hope for, by placing yourselves your-selves where the charge can be made that you have come here to terrorize the public servants and force their surrender through weakness or cowardice." JAPAN'S new coalition government govern-ment under the premiership of Admiral Viscount Makoto Saito is naturally finding its chief problems in China, and es pecially Manchuria. They planned early recognition of the new Manchurlan state of Manchou-kuo, Manchou-kuo, but surprisingly surprising-ly this is earnestly opposed by Count Uchlda, president of the South Manchurlan Man-churlan railroad and perhaps the most influential Japanese on the mainland. He says recognition should be delayed until the new state proves Its ability to stand alone, and that Manchouku'o with its tremendous natural resources will continue to exist even if no na tion is prepared to recognize it as an autonomous state. Uchlda, who may yet become foreign minister in Saito's government, feels that Japan Ja-pan should continue to pour money into Manchoukuo and that other nations na-tions should be given equal opportunity oppor-tunity of commercial and financial penetration. Japanese military forces continued con-tinued their drive against the rebels In Manchoukuo, forcing them toward to-ward the Siberian border, nallun was bombarded from the air and set on fire. Isvestla. organ of the Soviet Russian Rus-sian government charges certain Japanese elements with seeking an Invasion of eastern Siberia to "facilitate "fa-cilitate Japan's preparations for war against the United States by making available for the Japanese military machine the rich natural resources of Asiatic Russia." In a sharp warning to Japan not to try to lay ber hands on Siberia, the vigorous editorial pronouncement pronounce-ment called attention to "recent demands de-mands In certain sections of the Japanese press for war against Soviet Russia." It Is true that Fascist newspapers of Japan have been demanding that Siberia be conquered now to preserve pre-serve the future of Manchoukuo. MM. NEELY, Democratic sena- tor from West Virginia, seldom sel-dom speaks In that august body, but the other day, after listening to his colleagues, he raised his voice and for fifteen minutes told them in scathing language what he thought of them and their verbosity which, he said, was losing the government govern-ment more than SS3.000 an hour. He quoted the Bible and lambasted the Congressional Record, Rec-ord, and in conclu sion he read into the record a 34-line 34-line poem on the value of terse speech. If. as he maintains, sena torial speech costs nearly $200 per neart beat the rhyme be recited must have set Uncle Sam back about twenty-five hundred bucks. And the whole speech, based on his estimate of $S3.000 per hour, cost $20.00a . However, the lay citizen will sympathize with Mr. Neely's Indignation, Indig-nation, though with no hope that the senators can be persuaded to talk less and do more. (A 111. Wttten Nmppr Oaloa. M. M.
