MURRAY TO REFER
PROBLEMS TO VOTE
Legislative Proposals Include
Acreage Reductions and
Drastic Tax Cuts.
BY the Associated Press.

OKLAHOMA CITY. October a.
Gov. w. H. Murray announced yester-
day legislative program including cur
tailment Of wheat and cotton acreage
and proposals for drastic tax reduction
which he said he would submit to pop
ular vote by initiative petition this Fall
Free textbooks limitation OF time for
corporation land holdings, and unem-
ployment relief also are included in
the program.
Perhaps the most far-reaching Of the
proposals is a projected constitutional
amendment to abolish all ad valorem
taxes for State purposes and to limit
such taxes for city and county purposes
| to IS mills. The present limit, includ-
ing extra levies for schools is 49,
mills
To Ring the Firebells."
Since the Legislature last Winter,
when some of his reforms fell on deaf
ears, the picturesque Governor has
promised to ring the flrebells" in Okla
homas cities and hamlets and rally the
people to his support.
The Governor indicated he would an
| nounce the election date as soon as he
solves the problem of raising needed
funds. Observers thought it would be
early November.
Cotton planting would be curtaned
for the next two years, as was au-
thorized recently in Texas-through
law preventing planting Of mere than
80 per cent of total cultivated acreage
A commission would be created with
power to determine wheat acreage, and
after 1888, cotton acreage.
Income Tax Reductions.
! Another bill would reduce lower
bracket income taxes from to a
minimum Of l per cent and increase
/ higher bracket leVies on persons and
/ corporations upward to 10 per cent
! This will pass in a whoop," said
! Alfalfa Bill
There would be a $4,000 900 appro-
| priation for free text books and the
1 State might print them if they can't
/ be bought satisfactorily.
4 One cent Of a scent per gallon gaso-
line tax would relieve the jobless
+ Corporations holding land more than
10 years would escheat to the State.
This. said Murray, vitalizes constitu-
tional provisions.
There may be another bill, the Gov
ernor said. if he can get around GER
tain constitutional provisions of the
Federal Constitution"

DINO CRANDI AND
 WIFE WILL LEAVE
 AMERICA TO-DAY
Will Sail on Augustus at }
 O'Clock - His Las {
 Words Were for Dis= armament of Nations

New York, Nov z7-~5-Dino Grandi and Signofa> GTandi' wtu sail for tIaly on the Augustus at 3 D. m., to-day, ending their 10- day American visit. 7
 One of Grandi's last acts was f0 ask clemency for the man who threatened him in Philadelphia and who was sentenced to two years in prison. The foreign minister tele- graphed to Governor Pinchot mak- ing a personal appeal for clemency.
 The man, Orlando Spartaco, 26 jumped on the running board of the Grandi car, waving a red hand kerchief and shouting:
 Down with Mussolini. down with Grandi. You are murdering the Italian youth"
 Grandi explained his plea was not made in his official capacity, but "as a friend of the American nation"
 Pinchot said he would forward the appeal to the proper authori- ties for action, explaining that he was not empowered to act on such a plea, since recommendations for pardons must come from the Penn sylvania board of pardons. Also. he added, before Spartaco's case could come before the board, it first must be appealed in the higher courts.
 The visiting statesman made his farewell address to America in u speech before the Foreign Policy association yesterday. Grandi avowed Italy's desire to see the peace of Europe based upon dis armament and arbitration instead of upon the insecurity and mistrust arising from the partial disarm- ament of some nations and the unrestricted armament of others.
 Mentioning no country, except the United States and Italy by name, he repudiated on the part of Italy the French thesis that se- curity must precede disarmament. He said he believed disarmament would relieve political tension the world over and tend to re-establish economic confidence.
 "Our hopes," he said, fin the disarmament conference find much encouragement in the attitude of the American government and American public opinion" Grandi pledged Italy's full-hearted sup port in getting the problem out of "a nebulous state into the realm of practical possibilities"

Heretofore, objections to artifi- cial conventions have been ad- vanced on the ground that those who do not use them may not un- derstand them, but, by making the two-club convention an integral part of the Official System and an optional variation from the game demand bid of three, the bid IS standardized in this and other books. It is explained so that all will have the opportunity to under stand every detail.
 Whether or not an individual player wishes to use this conven- ton, he should study it, so that when his opponents are using 1t, he will have a general idea of the bid ding technique. If he elects to use it with a partner who is familiar with it, he will find it very fasci- hating bid with great possibilities.
 The fact that the bid makes cer- tain definite guarantees and the re- sponse of the partner indicates cer- tain definite holdings or the lack of them, enables both the two-club bidder and his partner to appraise the two hands most accurately and estimate slam possibilities more dependably than is the case with any other demand bid.
 Another interesting development of this convention is that the re- quirements for the bid, in the open ing hand, are less than those in the Official System three-demand bid, the reason being that while the re- spending hand must positively keep the bidding open until game is reached, the opening bidder has the privilege and opportunity of terminating the bidding short of game.
 The artificial two-club conven- ton, when used by experienced players. opens up wonderful possi. bilities for precise partnership bid- ding and. as developed In the Offi- cial System, it is a scientific bid. perfected by many months of care- full and painstaking research by many of the best bridge minds in the country. Only those who have never tried it are skeptical. For expert tournament play the Arvis- ory Council strongly recommends q study and development of this bid.
 The artificial two-club bid is used only as an original bid. In

BOY SOLD MONEY FOR ANY PRICE
 UNTIL STOPPED

Chicago, Nov 27-CUP)-Jackie Becker, 8, had brisk business while it lasted. He found whole bundle of crisp bright banknotes in an old stove, put them under his arm and went out selling them. His price was reasonable. What ever a customer offered, nickel, dime, or penny, he took and counted the profit good. Then his mother heard of Jackie's business and put 1t into receivership by talk ing away the remaining banknotes $3,900. She put them in a safe deposit vault.
 But Mrs Martha Preuss heard also of the bargain sale. The bank notes were found in the old stove that she was about to sell for junk. She believed the money was put there by her husband before his recent death. A plea by her attorney to be allowed to open the deposit box and recover the re- maining notes will be heard to-day in probate court.
