STATE DID NOT
$2,OOO,-
900 ROAD fund

PHOENIX, July 3.-Goyernor Hunt
has turned the 3earchlight of truth
on the little discrepancy of $2,000,-
600 federal aid money which Arizona
was supposed to have lost, and as a
result former State Engineer ThoS.
Maddox will have some more ex-
planning to do.
Maddox has broadcasted the state
ment about the state that the demo-
cratic administration had allowed
some $2,000,000. of federal aid to re-
vert to the government on account of
inaction of the highway department.
That no federal aid funds will re-
vert to the federal government is the
plain statement of E. S. Wheeler, dis
trict engineer of the bureau of public
roads in letter to Governor Hunt,
which reads as follows:
I'm reply to your inquir y of June
30th, as to whether the state high
way department has permitted any
funds to revert which might have
been made available for Arizona high
ways from federal aid act up to and
including the fiscal year ending June
30, 1924, will state that the state high
way department has submitted prof.
ects and requests for transfers suffic-
lent to cover the 1922 funds and that
no funds will revert to the federal
government.
when projects are forwarded from
this office, recommendations are made
as to the respective funds, from which
the federal aid is to be obligated, by
the Washington office.
approval of the plans, specifica-
tions and estimates and preparation
of the project agreement which actu-
ally obligates the federal aid, is for
obvious reasons not made by the re-
viewing officers in the same order in
which they are forwarded from this
office and as number of project
| agreements are now in process of
preparation we are unable to state
the exact status of such obligations at
this time, however, our records show
the unobligated balances of the re-
spective funds to be as follows:
1922 funds (Which must
be under agreement before
June 80, 1924 ..................-$ 1,269.42
1923 funds (Which must
be under agreement before
June 80, 1920 ..................... 39,938-29
1924 funds (Which must
be under agreement before
June 80. 1925 ...................... 379, 9,S92.5S
as we'll as the appropriation of some
thing over a million dollars of 1925
funds now available.
ANY unobligated balance in the
1922 funds will be absorbed by trans
fer of obligations now made from 1928
or 1924 funds"

Hoover Opposed To
Publishing Secrets
OF Corporations
ny The Federated Press)

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-Herbert
Hoover, defender of the Chicago meat
packers during and after the war, is
now trying to head off the adoption
of income tax returns in the confer
ence report on the revenue bill. The
Senate voted overwhelmingly for
because it realized that La
Toilette would make that an issue in
the presidential campaign. The House
conferees were expected to agree to
this Senate amendment to the House
bill
Hoover argues that big business cor
porations will learn the financial Sc
crets of their small competitors, and
will be able to crush them by the use
of that information. On the other
hand, he fears that fake concerns, de-
string to fleece the public into buy
ing their stock, will make inflated re-
turns and pay taxes not really due,
in order to put up convincing
front"
He claims that publicity of tax re-
turns was required from 1857 to 1872,
and that it added to the industrial and
financial chaos of the time.
However, Congress is not much
frightened; it is familiar with the cor
poration twist in Hoover's brain.

FRENCH
AGAIN HIT S
The CHUTES.
Financial Kings Fear
For the Future

PARIS, May 2o.-The franc
sold today on the opening of the
exchange at 1880 to the dollar
and BOSS to the pound sterling.
Nervousness on the part of
the financial magnates over the
fall of their pet Poincare and the
probability that ]. P. Morgan
would not open his purse any
wider after the debacle that
overlook the reactionary ele-
ments which supported the gov
eminent about to pass out in a
few weeks.
Reports that Poincare used the Nor
gan millions to fix the elections, were
made by the official organ of the Her
riot group, but denied by both Poin-
care and Morgan.
The charge was that Poincare used
several million dollars to beat down
the dollar and pound sterling and only
halted when called by Morgan.
The American banker denies that
he was in on the plot. He does not
deny, however, that his French friend
was innocent of the charge.

JESS SMITH
WAS BOSS OF
SPY BUREAU
Daugherty's Graft Pard
Could Hire and Fire
Especial to The Daily workerl

WASHINGTON, May 20
How Jess Smith virtually iran"
the bureau of investigation of
the department of justice was
told to the senate Daugherty
investigating committee today
by L. J. Bailey, formerly chief of
the bureau.
'Smith was recognized as the
most powerful man in the de-
partment of justice outside the
attorney general himself" Bal
ley said.
Agents of the bureau were
"hired and fred by Smith with
Daugherty's knowledge, the wit
ness said in relating specific in
stances of dismissals at Smiths
direction.
Pierce Miller, former newspaper
correspondent covering" the depart
ment, related how A. Mitchell Palmer,
formerly attorney general, had been
sent for" by Daugherty in connection
with the Bosch magnetic case. After
Palmer left the office Daugherty told
him in answer to direct question,
Miller said, that he (Daugherty)
would not indict Palmer unless he
was forced to-"
Daugherty said Palmer had had a
lot Of trouble and he did not wish to
indict him, Miller testified.
Bailey told him Smith took an in
terest in almost everything in the
bureau" and came into his office for
daily conferences.
When Daugherty became attorney
general, Bailey said that he sought
his views on the policies of his bu-
reau. Daugherty told him, he said,
that he was "a very busy man" and
said that Smith would give directions
of what he wanted done in the bureau
of investigation.
When Smith wanted an agent dis
charged, Bailey said, he would tell
him that "the attorney general wants
this man dismissed" Bailey said the
attorney general would approve it.
Asked If Smith had access to the
confidential files of the department of
justice, Bailey said "he got anything
he wanted in the department"
Were Smiths orders carried out
by other employees of the depart
ment?" Senator Wheeler asked.
HE was recognized as second in
command; they knew that they could
look for other employment if they
didn't obey his orders" Bailey said.

COOLIDGE HAS
vETOES ENOUGH
FOR PRESENT

WASHINGTON May 20.-President
Coolidge will not veto the tax bill,
despite passage of the $4,000, 600, 900
soldiers bonus bill over his veto, ac-
cording to word reaching the capital
today.
With the bonus actually law, adj
ministration leaders showed a ten
dency to drop talk of veto Of the tax
measure because of the added drain
imposed on the treasury by the meas
ure. Their view is that Mr. Coolidge
should approve any tax bill that Con-
gress sends him and get the tax ques-
ton out Of the way as a campaign is
sue.
II more revenues are needed later
to meet the added annual charge of
about $152,00O,O0O imposed on the
treasury by the bonus, special taxes
can be levied, rather than to try to re-
vamp the present tax measure, lead
ers say.
The bill, however, must be made ac-
ceptable to Mr.. Coolidge by elimina-
tion Of the tax return publicity pro-
vision and modification of the gradual
corporation levy, leaders say. This,
according to word leaking from con-
ferees, is about to be done, thru
trading" between Republicans and
Democrats, the latter to get their sur
tax schedules approved in return for
elimination Of the publicity provision.

Would Be Disastrous.
Acceptance of Farrington's propo-
sails for the cheapening of production
of coal in order to extend the market
and create more work for the coal
miners" would be disastrous for the
miners union and be the beginning
Of its complete humiliation. The UNI
employment situation, however, is a
real problem which demands a con-
crete solution. On the first day Of
this month, according to Farrington's
report, $50 Illinois mines were com
pletely closed, leaving fully 10000
mine workers out of jobs, with very
few Of the mines now in operation
working more than half time and the
great majority of them not even that
much.
Shorten the Work-Day.
Yet, what is needed is an adjust
ment of the hours of worker with no
reduction of the days wagec so as
to afford employment for all, with
compensation at regular union rates
for any eventual unemployment and
actual steps toward the nationalist
ton of the coal mines. That, how
ever, would mean real fight with the
bosses, for which the rank and file
mine workers are ready, but which is
feared by Frank Harrington.
