FARM RELIEF DUE
TO GET FIRST CALL
Watson Makes Emphatic
Declaration on Scope of
Agriculture Bill.
BY the. Associated Press.

BY the. Associated Press.
An emphatic declaration as to the
scope OF the new farm relief bill, cou-
pied with an announcement that relief
legislation will receive first call at the
special session Of Congress, was made
yesterday by Senator Watson of In
diana. the new Republican leader.
This announcement, made during the
day while both the Senate and House
agricultural committees again were in
session, received the immediate atten-
ton of those interested in farm legis-
lation. This interest was heightened as
a number Of this group all along have
viewed the hearings largely as a matter
Of form and have not expected them to
be productive OF any new ideas.
Senator Watson fatty declared that
the new bill would not have an equaliza-
ton fee and that 1t would be modelled
closely along the lines laid down by the
President Hoover In his speeches at
West Branch, Iowa, and Elizabethton,
Tenn. during the campaign. At that
time Mr.. Hoover recommended Fed
erai farm board with authority to help
cooperative marketing associations, and
to build up STERILIZATION agencies with
initial capital from the Government.
He also frowned upon any proposal
looking to a subsidy or fee or tax upon
the farmer.
Senator Watson, who has been q fire.
Guent visitor at the farm hearings, said
these announcements of the President
seemed to him to be "a sufficient an
swer" to any one who complained that
Mr.. Hoover has not formulated the ac-
tual terms OF the bill and also to those
who argued he might be induced to
favor the equalization fee.
From the first there has been but
little belief that the new bill would
have an equalization fee. At present
the. chief points under consideration are
the extent Of authority to be given
the Federal Farm Board and whether
specific provisions should be made for
restraint of production in times when
surpluses Of crops prevail.
Yesterday committees ground away
upon the farm problem, with the House
committee ordering night session to
speed It's work.
The testimony before both to large
extent duplicated that presented in
previous years.

TRACTION employees
GET NINE.HOUR DAY
Agreement, Affecting 1000 Work
ers Here, Is Signed by Com
pany and Union.

An agreement affecting approximate
ly 1000 employees of the Capital Trae-
ton Co. has been worked out and
signed between John H. Hanna, presi-
dent Of the company, and John H.
Goodman, representative of the ANAL
gamated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees of America.
Although there Is no change in the
wage scale in the agreement, substitu-
ton of nine-hour basic work day for
the 10-hour day is included.
According to Mr. Hanna, although
the old schedule called for 10-hour
day, the employees have been working
on a riine-hour scale, and the signing
Of the new arrangement simply specifies
nine hours.
The scale of wages has been left un-
changed and calls for So cents an hour
for the first three months of employ
ment, IS cents an hour for the next
nine months, and So cents an hour
thereafter. Some minor changes were
made in the old working agreement de-
signed to make for better working con-
ditions, but union and company officials
agreed that there was nothing radically
different from the old In the new agree
ment.

TAX COLLECTIONS
BREAKING RECORD
Midnight Deadline for Second
Payments of Current
Year.

Midnight tonight being the official
deadline for the payment of the second
half Of taxes Of the current fiscal year,
c. NJ. Towers, District tax collector, was
doing record business today. For the
last three days the payments have been
averaging $500, 900 daily, and today's
counter receipts and checks received by
mail were expected to exceed that aver
age.
Since tomorrow, the last day Of the
month. is legal holiday, all taxpayers
who do not mail their checks before
midnight tonight will be subject to the
l per cent penalty prescribed by law
Payment may be made in person at the
District Building today. but any pay
ments made at the counter Monday will
be subject to penalty.
In explaining the requirements, Mr..
Towers said that check, TO be &C.
ceptable. must be mailed In time to bear
the post office mark showing it had
been received before midnight. Persons
who drop their checks into the mail
box a few minutes before midnight will
find themselves out of luck.
approximately $4,000 real estate and
personal property returns will have
been received before the tax assessors
Office closes this afternoon. The clerks
will be on duty until o'clock to re-
ceive personal returns and until 5
O'Clock to receive returns on real estate.
Today's returns are expected to be
the heaviest, owing to the fact that
most banks and trust companies post
pone filing returns until the last day.
Rules governing the payment of real
estate and personal property taxes,
however, do not apply to the mailing of
real estate and personal property re-
turns. William p. Richards, District
tax assessor, is not taking advantage of
the legal holiday and consequently tax
payers may fill out their returns.

the QUESTIONABLE affair, which resulted
in dismissal of three university in

Rumanian Prince Meets

Lauds Good Weather.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS. March so.-Prince Carol OF
Rumania returned to Paris yesterday
from Normandy, where he met his
mother, TOwager Queen Marie, who Is
now on a visit In Spain. He said that
he was enjoying splendid health and
absolutely refused to discuss reports
that Mihail Manoilescu and Prince
Stirbey were coming to Paris to escort
him back to the throne of his father.
Beautiful weather we're having in
France Just now" said the prince.
The Rumanian legation AYERS that,
while Manoilescu Is In Paris at pres
ent, he has no appointment to meet
Prince Carol and has no intention of
making one. The Rumanian colony
here, aware Of the circumstances pre-
ceding Carols departure from Ru-
mania, which are generally known to
have involved an alteration with the
prince nearly resulting in flsticuffs, ex-
pressed disbelief that the prince would
move a finger to assist Carol back to
the throne.
