WATSON EXPRESSES
OPPOSITION TO ANY
INCREASE IN TAXES
Republican Leader Makes An.
nouncement After Confer.
once With Hoover

Washington, March 31.-R)-6ena-
tor Watson expressed unalterable OPP
position to an increase in taxes or q
federal bond issue to meet the trea-
sury deficit after a breakfast confer
ence Tuesday with President Hoover
at the white house.
The 1ndianan, Republican leader of
the senate, did not obtain the prcsi-
dents views on the federal financial
situation but disclosed his own to the
executive in an hour and a half talk
which embraced a field Of political
and governmental problems.
The two agreed there was no need
for an extra session Of congress to
deal with unemployment and farm
relief, and that an armiStice in p0-
htical debate would permit a more
rapid economic rehabilitation.
The craftsmanship Of the Republic
can national committee also was dis
cussed, but 1t was agreed, Watson
said, that there is no great rush
about reorganization of the commit
tee" now headed by Senator Fess Of
Ohio.
Our thought was" the senator
said, ito let the country rest from
politics, 60 ahead and attend to bus
mess and rehabilitate ourselves free
from the clamor of politics."
The Republican leader said he
would confer with Secretary Mellon
in q few days on the financial pro-
blems facing the government.
TOO many people are paying toe
much attention to the stock Market
he said. LAS q result the business
world instead Of keeping step to the
music of the union is keeping ster
to the click Of the ticker"
The farm board situation also was
discussed as was the legislative sit.
uation in a general way.
Senator Watson laid before thu
president the request of a group Of
private organizations for an extrs
session Of congress by May /. He
said, however, the executive has nc
notion about calling an extra ses.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. = Anger
rises to high pitches in Washing
ton. From President Hoover down
there is hardly a man who, from
time to time, does not feel his
temper arising. And they have
many ways of expressing 1t.
Senator George Norris, leader of
the insurgents in the senate. rises
to great heights. On the floor of
the senate his oratory flames. In
the solitude Of his office he has
been known to seize from his desk
a basket of unanswered letters and,
needless of their importance. drop
kick them all toward the fireplace.
Senator Charles McNary is an
other whose temper flames. Two
or three times a week the handsome
Oregonian. who is assistant Repub-
lican leader in the senate, turns
red with rage and lashes with a
singing sarcasm any and all who
fall within range.
1t is interesting to note that Sem
ator Watson of Indiana, floor leader
to whom McNary is assistant is one
of the most imperturbable men in
official life.
Secretary of State Stimson at one
time had the reputation of being Of
fiery temper. But of late he has
been increasingly calm. The other
day he lived through this
He was holding a regular press
conference and discussed with much
ardor and concentration the Man
churian situation, at the moment
particularly tense. He had answered
question after question. At last
he came to the end Of the discourse,
with the thoughts of all centered
on Manchuria.
Mr.. Secretary" suddenly spoke =
voice from among the reporters,
"have you given any thought to the
matter of mutton from Patagonia?'
Stimson simply threw up his
hands-the mental leap from Man
churia and soy beans to Patagonia
and mutton was too much, but his
exasperation didn't get the better
of him.
The reporter, it might be eX-
