DEFEAT LOOMS

PARIS, Nov. s Q.N.S).-What
is feared to be the death-knell Of
the recently-formed ministry Of
Premier Andre Tardieu was
sounded today, when the Radical
Socialist party voted unanimously
in refusal to support the new gov

The party threatened in1me-

This new setback, however.

laid his declaration of policy be-

SCHOOLF|GHT

A long fight waged by the Park
View Citizens Association bore
tangible fruit yesterday when the
District Commissioners awarded
contract calling for the erection
OF two eight-room additions to
Park View School.
The contract was given to Skin
ker & Garrett, constructors, and
calls for expenditure of $257 ,949.
The Park View School. under
plans urged by the Bureau of Eff
ficiency, will become a model ex-
perimental school. The additions
in the form Of two wings will re-
suit in the abolition of five port
able schools and eight part-time
classes in Park View.
The citizens association had
vainly sought to have the Board
of Education include their school
in its expansion program. Finally,
they switched their fight to Con-
gresS and Intervention Of that
body over the heads of school Of
ficialS and without recommenda-
ton from the Commissioners re-
suited in the new appropriations.

SLEASE TELLS SENATORS TARIFF is WASTING THEIR TIM
FLORIDA ST A I {
CAVE LOBBY
$4,000

The Florida legislature, various
municipalities and counties in the
State and between $50 and 200
Texas banks responded to a "high
pressure subscription campaign
Of the Southern Tariff Association
and the American Taxpayers
League last year, the Senate Lob
by Committee learned this after
noon.
From the files of the two or
ganizations and testimony Of j. A.
Arnold, manager of both, the
committee learned that workers OF
the organization got the money
from Florida and that sight drafts
drawn on Texas banks yielded
the rest.
More than $4,000 came out of
Florida, the inquiry revealed. OF
the Florida contributors a $4,000
lump subscription was made by
the State legislature,
Lorenzo wilson, OF MlhLul, cLd',
chairman of the tariff asSocia-
ton, with Vance Muse, $600-a-
month field worker for the two
organizations, got the $4,000 from
the legislature, Arnold told the
committee.
Muse, through 'local com
mitteeS" and with the aid Of
Wilson, succeeded in getting the
remainder of Florida's contr1bu-
ton Of $4,000 Of public moneys.
Manchester county gace $1,000;
Dale county, $500; Hardy county,
$3.50, and a small municipality
another $3.50.
Arnold termed the sight-draft'
campaign in Texas banks an
educational campaign" He said
he didn't expect all 1,700 of the
banks sent drafts to honor them,
but added they called the atten-
ton Of the bankers to the work
Of the two organizations. He said
similar "Sight-draft campaigns"
were carried on in Georgia and
Alabama, but offered no figures
to show the results.

slider the proposed extension of

nounced today by Robert j. Cot

While Cottrell did not state
what action would be taken by

indicated that the matter may
be brought to, the attention Of
the Federal Government. The
board of directors is actively op-
posing the proposed change on
the grounds that it would cause

it is felt that the recent expendi-

wasted were the street to be
closed.

WILL
PASS, He
SAYS

Declaring that the Senate is
wasting time on a tariff bill that
will never become law, Senator
Cole Blease CD of South Caro-
lima today promised to demand
action on his resolution to shunt
the bill aside until after Decem-
Der 3, thus bringing the special
session to an abrupt close.
-, The resolution apparently was
doomed to overwhelming defeat
If it reaches a vote, but it was
received with sympathetic interest
by the "old guard" Republicans
who would rather have no tariff
than one written by the Demo
cratic-progressive Republican Goa
htion.
Amendment Acceptable
The South Carolina Senator'S
proposal comedies in large degree
with the views expressed by sucn
regular Republicans as Senators
Reed (R.) of Pennsylvania and
Edge (R.) of New Jersey. BleaSe
vehemently denied that he intro
duced the resolution as a result
of conferences with other Sena'
tors.
Admitting that the resolution
in its present form cannot be
forced to vote, he promised TO
change it if necessary to bring it
within the parliamentary rule de-
manded by the Senate.
Meantime, Senator Smoot R.1
of Utah, chairman Of the Finance
Committee, was doing his best 70
drive the Senate forward to the
laborious task of dispoSing OF
individual tariff items, peace ne
gotiations were being carried for
ward and "old guard" Republi-
cans were seeking support for an
adjournment over the Thanks
giving weekend.
Debate Limit Effected
Senator Smoot had succeeded
In upsetting the unlimited de-
bate rule of the Senate by con-
filming Senators to 10-minute
speeches in the close of pottery
schedule debates, but the objec-
ton Of Senator Dill CD of
washington prevented an agree
ment to exclude all business but
tariff from the Senate floor, ex-
cept for an hour a day.
The efforts of leaders Of the
three major factions in the tariff
fight to reach partial compro-
mise found FORMIDABLE objection in
the demands of individual Sena-
tors for extensive consideration
of amendments dealing with prod
ucts of their home States. Never
the less, Senator Simmons CD
of North Carolina insisted that
progress is being made.
AS a concession to the regulars
who have advocated adjournment
of the special session on Novem-
Der Is to take the bill up in the
regular session convening in De-
cember, a plan was evolved to
quit just before Thanksgiving.
This would give a weeks inter
val before the regular session.

This was disclosed by a COM
parison today between Earnings
of Factory Workers." an exhaus-
tive monograph issued by the
Census Bureau, and Statistics of
Income" published by the Treas
ury Department.
These two documents, showing
the wages of two classes of the
population, give the average sal
ary of those of Sufficient means
to pay Federal income taxes at
s., ,493, and of factory workers
at $1,373 for 1927. These are
the latest available figures.
There are about $1,000, 900 gain
fully employed persons in the
United States, including business
and professional lnen, factory,
agricultural, transportation, min
ing workers, clerks and others.
A total of 3.35t,247 factory
workers in 1927 earned wages of
10,S48, ,782, 900, while the income
of the other class, numbering
2,440,941 individuals, amounted to
$26, ,545, ,000, 900. There may be
some overlapping Of the two
groups, although it would be
negligible, according to experts.
The Census Bureau showed
that in 1927 the average factory
workers wage would have been
$1,612 if he had been employed
full time. The actual earning
per worker, however, $1,373 on
the basis of the increased cost
Of living and measured by the
1914 dollar, amounted to 1904.

fruitless. Early Monday shipments
remedied the shortage, but the
mystery remained.
Yesterday afternoon a youth
hurried into store on Amsterdam

"Give me 10 lemons" he said.
With the secret Of the lemon
shortage in his grasp, the shop
keeper proceeded cautiously, unde-
cided whether to call the police or
follow the youth with the lemons:
What do you want them for?"
he inquired suSpiciously.
"Oh, nothing" was the reply.

The run on lemons started in
nocently enough on Friday. BY
Saturday afternoon it began to
perplex grocery dealers and annoy
hundreds of housewives in the
vicinity who could not procure
lemons. Amsterdam Avenue for six
blocks on both sides of Columbia
could not produce a lemon.
With the continued demands
from exasperated shoppers, the
vegetable dealers became frantic
as nightfall approached and good
customers stamped from their
shops in annoyance. They tele-
phoned emergency orders to the

ira boxes.

While calm seems to prevail in

ence in viewpoint. Then there is
the proposed power initiative
sponsored by the state grange, to
be disposed of. ALI of these ques-
tons are important to the people
OF the state and should have def
mite action on them.
In the main, the men and women
who represent the people of Wash
ington at the legislature want to
do what the people, who sent them
there, want them to. 1t is essential
that all voters keep themselves in
formed on proposed bills to be pre-
sented to the legislature. These
bills will be sent direct to the local
library from time to time during
the season, through the courtesy
of Knute Hill, representative from
Benton county.
If a voter or group of voters
has definite opinion, which is
worth consideration, on any of the
proposed bills, it is our belief that
the legislators from this section
would be desired to be informed
of such.
On the other hand, often times
the persons who are in immediate
contact with the situations under
stand all of the details of them
far better than those who are re-
moved. 1t is imperative to trust, to
a certain extent, our legislators to
concern themselves with our in
terests.

WHY ARE SOME FARM
INCOMES so LOW?

A careful consideration of the
above question almost invariably
leads to the conclusion that what
ever the causes for low incomes
are, the only present solution lies
in factors which the individual
farmer may largely control. Be-
nefits which may come from re-
duced taxation, National Farm Aid
and legislation, and other such
measures which eventually will
come, can be overshadowed by
changes in enterprises and opera
tions on the farm. This has been
shown many times as the result
of economical surveys and follow
up work, the benefits being receiv.
ed, being several times what most
any one expects will come from
general or specific legislation tc
help agriculture.
What is the actual situation or
many farms? Many can not an.
swer this in definite way even In
their own mind. A farm account
book will answer this question. In
answering the question, the found
alton is laid for the working out
of a program which will improve
the income and in many cases
bring about a much better balanc-
ed labor program so that the labor
on the farm may take care of the
entire labor situation there. Farm
