ence" In the country today, Repre-
sentative Berger Isl Of Wisconsin,

bill to create q national super
power system under Government
ownership and control.
Under the terms Of the bill Fed
eral aid would be given States,
cities, counties, districts and other
POLITICAL subdivisions in the de-
velopment Of super-power systems
with service at cost. The bill also
provides for conservation OF the
country's natural b resources, Coz.

and expansion Of the Reclamation
Service as an aid to agriculture,

tory and farm dependent on 1t.
II this power be wisely con-
trolled," he said, ut will become
the slave of humanity and make
all slavery unnecessary. If it is not
publicly controlled, but left In the
hands Of a few overlords to be
used for their own greed and
profit, that power is bound to en-.
slave humanity"
Berger declared that five COM

ny InBSEuAUlOHA1 MOVIE SeEV4CG
PONTIAC, Mich, April 30.-The
first definite clue in the supposed
kidnapping Of 4-year-old Norman
Monson was obtained today by
Pontiac police from a 17-year-old
girl, Ethel Weber.
A well-laid plot, conceived by
three men whom the girl over
heard talking a week ago in front
Of the Monson home, is indicated by
her story, police believe. Motive for
the kidnapping, however, remains a
nystery-it may be revenge or
ransom.
Chubby Norman was seen last
at 4:30 p. m. Friday in the vicinity
Of his home.
The plotting of the three men
was overheard by Ethel as she
walked home with her mother, Mrs.
Joseph Weber, from the Temple
Beth Jacob.
The girl was greatly excited when
she distinctly heard one of the
lettering trio say: cts your lob
to get Monson." He was addressing
the smallest of the three, she said.
Mother didn't hear what the
man said, but I told her, and sug.
gested that we warn the Monsons, -
Ethel said. "At that moment the
men separated, and two Of them
followed us, so we became fright
ened and hurried away. We decided
to telephone to the MonsAns but
we couldn't reach them.

STARTS
FIGHT ON TAX
SLASH

The big economic battle Of the
year, over the question of tax reduc-
ton, with far-reaching effects on
business, finance. arnusenents and
the general public. was to set under
way today IN the Senate.
Two rival tax-reduction bills, pro.
posed BY the Administration forces
and by the Democratic opposition,
were to be. filed In the Senate today,
with debate probably postponed
until tomorrow.
Leaders Of both factions. how
ever, planned to rush b final vote
on the measure In the hope Of send
ing It to the White House within
two weeks.
The Administration bin, drafted
along the lines OF Treasury recon-
naendations, would slash taxes $685..
900 900, while the Democrats would
take the financial bit in their teeth
and wipe out $685.. 0O0, 900 Of taxes.
Many of the Democratic sugges-
lions for tax reduction viii be en-.
acted into law IL the Senate APP
proves them, az the House already
has endorsed q slash OF $3.50. OOO, 900.
Three Major Differences
The greatest differences between
the Republican and Democratic
plans in the Senate lay In the cor.
poration, amusement. club dues and
stamp taxes.
The Democrats proposed far
greater. reductions for corporations
than did the Administration forces.
The Democrats asked for slash
of the normal corporation tax from
1914 to liz per cent, at saving o.
$164 500, 900 to corporations. The
Administration bill held the tax to
12h per cent, . slash OF only
$82.00O.OOO.
In addition, the Senate Demo
Gratis proposed 9 sliding scale Ior
CORPORATIONS with incomes under
$15. 1000, beginning with an initial
tax of onIv per cent. This would
be a slsgh Of $24, 100000 which the
Administration plan did not con-
tain.
nIans however. proposed greGter
reductions than the House bill on
two taxes. Both Democrats and
Republicans would slash surtaxes
by sos. 900 whereas the House bill
allowed present rates to stand. On
amusement taxes the Demo.
Gratis repealed all at q slash OF
SIS, SOC, 900 while the administration
plan retained the 10 per cent tax,
but raised exemptions to ~. Inc
House plan retained the tax with
exemptions raised to 81, a reduction
Of only $S,000,00O.
The repeal Of all automooiIe
taxes, a reduction OF $66,OOO,OOO
was contained in both Senate plans
and likewise was approved by the
House. This action will be written
into the law, unless the Senate
rejects the bipartisan recommen'
dalton Of its finance committee.
A final vote on the bill probably
win be reached early next week.

VOTE IN CALF

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3d.
California democracy will go to the
polls tomorrow and decide which OF
three contesting delegations shall
carry the California donkey banner
into the Houston convention.
Political wiseacres over the coun.
try reason that the verdict of Cali.
fornia's Democrats may have an i'm
portant bearing upon final results
at the Houston powwow.
The State organization, for the
greater part, has taken up the can.
didacy of Gov. AL Smith, OF New
York. Strong independent groups
are supporting Senator James A.
Reed and Senator Thomas J.
Walsh.
The William Gibbs McAdoo wing
of the Democratic party has backed
Senator Walsh. The ticket is led
by McAdoo and composed Of men
and women that followed him in the
Democratic factfonal fight Of 1925.
An important angle is the can
didacy Of Senator James A. Reed of
Missouri. Senator Reed came into
California on tour Of the country.
He has taken the position that the
chief issue il elimination Of cor
ruption in Government and restora-
ton Of the Democratic party to its
fundamentals. Senator Reed has
made a nationwide campaign.
With the close Of the hotly con.
tested primary campaign at hand
the several groups are working for
the last roundup of votes.
The Smith organization remains
confident of carrying the State, in
so far as formal expressions from
headquarters are concerned.
Justice Wardell A. Smith, leader,
sent forth a statement today that
he "believes Smith will carry the
State by $4,000"
