Show THE News Review of Current Events the World Over Senate Passes Its Revenue Bill, Rejecting Sales Tax After Hearing President Hoover Von Papen Becomes German Chancellor. By EDWARD W. PICKARD SPURRED Into action by warning that government credit wus endangered and foreign raids on the dollar were Imminent, the senate In a night session passed its tax bill designed to bring In a total revenue of$l,121,000,000.The Chief Executive unexpectedly appeared & i j Inthe person forbefore the senate, r' f. first time In bis adand ministration, read a statement of the serious condiPresident tion, lie urged the Hoover Inclusion of a sales tax and restated his position regarding relief measures and bis opposition to the huge public works program fostered by Speaker Garner. There was no chance for the sales tax, most of the Democratic senators 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 suldst of great confusion due to relief from the strain, the senators The vote adopted their measure. was 72 to 11. Having been Informed by Secretary of the Treasury Mills that their committee bill was still some $275,000,000 shy of the amount seeded to balance the budget, the senators provided for most of this by a gasoline tax of 1 cent a gallon, the restoration of Ineome tax rates to the 1922 level and a 3 per cent tax on sales of electricity by private power companies. It was believed the senate and house conferees would speedily the differences between the senate and house bills and then the measure would go to the President. One amendment to the bill adopted by the senate Is wortb especial mention. Proposed by Senator Glenn of Illinois, it puts a 100 per cent tax on incomes earned through violations of state or federal law, thus taking the government out of what has been called Its partnership with crime. fir ad-Ju- ECESSARY In balancing the budget, the national economy bill providing savings of $239,000,-00was reported favorably by the senate appropriations committee. Among Its features Is a flat 10 per cent cut In the salaries of all government workers except the enlisted personnel of the army, navy and marine corps, and those whose salaries are specifically protected by the Constitution, such as Judges. There is also a saving of $48,000.-00- 0 In the amount given to veterans. The economy bill passed by the bouse carried reductions In expenditures of only $52,000,000. Both measures authorize the President to reorganize the executive de0 partments. SPEAKER GARNER himself as a witness before the louse ways and means committee to advocate his $2,300,000,000 federal relief bill, which was assailed by the President as a pork barrel raid on the treasury because It listed 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 of c$2,000,000,000advance public works program recommended by the conference of governors In 1928.

They have Just appropriated and appropriated till they was so far In the red, that It dont look they will hardly get out by Xmas. Well I bad a fine time here a few days ago. I went out with our Govenor, Jimmy Rolph, and we, "We" accepted in behalf of the State of California, one of the most magnlflclent ranches you ever saw. It comprises about seven hundred acres. Course that dont sound so big, but thats land that is all piped and watered, and Irrigated, and Improved. It Is the largest Arabian horsa ranch In America. It has 87 bead of pure breed Arabian horses, the most wonderful up to date stables and equipment you ever saw. Its a marvelous place, about 40 miles out of Los Angeles, near Pomona. It was given to the State University Department of Animal Husbandry, and will be maintained by them. It was the gift of Mr W. K. Kellogg of Battle Creek. He has been coming out here for the winters for several years and built up this beautiful place. We had a big ceremony. Mr and Mrs Kellogg turned over the deeds to the Govenor. They are a mighty fine plain, wholesome folks, the Kelloggs. Now here Is the catch in It that makes the gift so marvelous. He also give $600,000 a3 a fund, that the Income from' It would be used to keep this place up. Thats where I got fooled, I went out th re to the ceremony Just thinkin0 that it was an event where a man was giving away a ranch. Well I have one in California, and one in Oklahoma, both mighty little ones, but still big enough to be noticed by the tax men. Well neither one of em have ever made their taxes, so if either state wants another Animal Husbandry Joint, why I will be more than glad to turn each state over some of the best tax infested land in both states, and I will give em some horses with em too. They may not be Arabians, and again they may be, for you cant look at em and tell what kind they are. They told us out there at this ceremony that the Arabian horse has one less vertabra in his back, and one less in his tail, and the bone from his knee down is shorter. Well this Arabian is short of vertabra, and that is giving It a nice name. I dont know about our shin bone being shorter. If It Is its because we have worn It out kicking at everything so much. We have wore out about an Inch of it Just kicking poor Hoover aloue. Maby he did need a few, but perhaps not as many as we aimed at him. Now I think we ought to commence wearing out, not the shin bone but the keel bone, by kicking ourselves a few times each day. Our kicks have always been aimed at the somebody else for our own troubles. And a few good ones directed at the proper source would find us getting em right where they are deserved. So these horses are really American and not Arabian. They also have Mary K.
