cox WANTS HOOVER
IN HIS CABINET
If Named President-Governor Fa-
vors Abolition of War Tax As 1t
Now Stands-Speaks To Wo-
men At Friscos.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 49,
Governor Cox, in an address here
Saturday before a luncheon of
business men, referred to Herbert
Hoover as the type of trained mind
he would like to have in his cabinet
if elected.
"Mr. Hoovers efficient service in
the war was largely due to his thor
ough training as an engineer" he
said, and I can induce him, one of
the best engineers in the country
will sit in my cabinet"
The governor also favored in
this speech the abolishing of the tax
which, he said, was justified during
the war, but was no longer neces-
sary, but a substitution of tax of
one and one-half per cent on the
volume of business of a firm.
At luncheon by the San Fran
cisco Center "a women's organiza-
tion, he declared the county would
have had a much better idea of
basic conditions in Russia if a group
of women of the character of Jane
Adams or the heads of American
educational institutions had been
included in the Root mission to Rus
sia.
A fund by which the president
could buy up an entire sugar crop,
or in any other way to meet a food
crisis when congress was not in
session was proposed in both his
talks. He said the government
should have inventories of all food
supplies to forestall alarm over the
possibilities of food shortages.
