FARMER RELIEF
NOW AT DOORS
OF THE SENATE
cBy Dispatch A. p. Wirel

WASHINGTON, May 22.--Friends Of
farm relief. legislation today turned
their eyes toward the senate as offer
ing the chief hope for salvage of any
of the wreckage, wrought in the house
yesterday by defeat of the Haugen
price stabilization measure.
Western senators said the houes ac-
tion would not deter their efforts for
a farm relief bill at this session and
that steps would be taken to bring
some order out of the present legis-
lative chaos The western senatorial
group plans to center efforts on shap-
ing a bill to compose wide differ
ences of opinion in the hope it will
pass the senate and be approved by
the house.
Meanwhile in the house, friends of
the Haugen bill conferred with repre-
sentatives of western farm organiza.
tions. in an attempt to frame a bill
embodying some and eliminating an
others of the price alabilization fea-
lures.
In this connection Representative
AsWell today introduced Il bill de-
signed to carry ont essential features
of the Curtis-Aswell bill and the
Tincher credit plan. Both these meas
ures were before the house yesterday
but were withdrawn by their authors
before these could be voted upon. The
revised Aswell bill proposed a loan
fund of $140,00O,OO0 and would pro-
vide new machinery for the market
irg of basic agricultural commodities
House administration leaders, how
ever, were of the opinion that the de,
feat of the Haugen bill PIP to 1877 and
the defeat two years ago of the Nc.
Nary Haugen bill 224 to 154 placed
the house on record as once and for al
definitely disapproving Of such legis'
lation.

today by Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Andrews under authority
granted by President Coolidge.

violators. He said no considera ation

TAXING AUTOS

PHOENIX, May, 22,--a pill re-
pealing license fees and state and
county taxes on automobiles and
substituting for them collection of q
tax based on the weight of an auto
mobile and truck is to be initiated
by James II. Kerby, secretary of
state.
The measure, drafted by Kerby, will
be placed on the ballot this fall as
an initiative measure. Petitions arc
being circulated for signatures of
registered voters. The bill would
abolish fees based on horsepower. 1t
provides that one-third of the tax
based on the weight of the car would
go to the counties and the other
two thirds to road maintenance by
the state.
A state automobile department
would be created headed by an auto
mobile commissioner which would
handle all matters pertaining to auto
mobile taxes and fees. Such a de-
partment, Kerby explained today
would save the counties the cost of
Issuing license plates ana collecting

s. LONDON, May 22.-Through his sec
retary, Premier Baldwin a2as sent
communications of equally stern re-
buke to both the miners and mine
owners for the impossible attitude
they are adopting which prevents the
governments earnest attempt to ef-
feet settlement of the coal mining
dispute.
The communications are in answer
to the notice of the miners repre-
sentatives that the governments
latest proposals could not be ac-
cepted the men objecting to the clause
providing for reduction of wages,
and lengthening of the work day,
and the declination of the owners,
who contended that the premier's
compromise suggestions would limit
freedom of administration and would
not increase the efficiency of the in
dustry
The premier at this stage gives no
intimation of what further, if ANY
steps, the state intends to adopt and
as it is matters will simmer for the
next few days, over the Whftsuntde
holidays. He states quite clearly,
however, that since both sides have
rejected the coal commissions re-
port, the government no, longer con-
siders itself bound by the commits
sion's recommendations. He gives the
miners warning that at the end of
the present month his own proposals
for a settlement, embracing subsidy
of 100000 pounds will also lapse
But the premier announces that he
still holds himself ready to any new
practical proposals for a settlement
from either side.
