Legislative Inquiry in Joliet Is Extended in
 Scope

JOLIET, Illinois, Mare h B. Charges by both Protestant and Catholic chaplair1s of the State Penitentiaries here that the unrest among the inmates is due to the attitude of the Parole Board inter rupted the Legislative inquiry while the committees wired summons to the Parole Board Chairman and two members.
 Due to disclosures by Father E1i- gius Weir, the committee extended the scope of the investigation to in- clude the Southern Illinois Peni- tentiary at Chester and the Re- formatory at Pontica.
 e. Father Weir testified that boys '16 years of age were imprisoned with hardened criminals at the ! Reformatory which was built for wayward. youths. There are men 30 years old in the Reformatory, he said.
 , He also said there are insane prisoners at Joliet who should be in the asylum for the criminal in- sane at Menard.
 "Neither the parole law nor the parole regulations are at fault but the Pardon Board and the attitude of the members caused the present Joliet trouble" Father Weir said.

fees for each is definitely fixed. Generally. according to attorneys in the House, the fees so listed are higher than those now prevailing.
 It is also provided in the bill that "other documents may be charged for at the same valuation as near as may be-" and that fees so paid to the Judge of Probate shall constitute part of the attorneys fees authorized by law, and must be accounted for by the executor or administrator as such"
 Fixes Attorneys Fees
 A second measure by MT. Me Cutcheon defines what fees for legal services may be incurred by the administrators or executors of estates. The maximum for at- torney's services is set at 50 per cent of the fees allowed the admin istrator or executor and provides further, that no attorneys fees shall be allowed when the ad- ministrator or executor is himself an attorney" except by advance permission of the court and the principal heirs CT beneficiaries.
 The Judiciary Committee today reported two measures for passage. One is by MT. Brosius to provide for sale by City Councils of muni- cipal property now needed for mu- nicipal purposes. The second, by MT. Foster, Is a technical re-enact- ment of a law passed in 1927 said to be invalid because 1t was not signed by the Governor until after the legislature had adjourned with out day. It provides for the recovery of public money, funds or other property illegally paid or di- verted.

the latest passed, is in the section dealing with levies on mining op- erations.
 Almost Doubles Rates
 The new rates proposed by Mir Johnson virtually double the exist ing schedules on net incomes from mining operations. Under the pres ent revenue act, one per cent levy is assessed against net incomes from $10,O0o to S500,00o; one and one-half per cent on incomes be- tween $500,0O0 and $l,000,000; and on all net incomes in excess of Sl,O0,00O one and three-quarters per cent.
 MT. Johnston's bill revised this section entirely, creating one new classification and raising rates in each one except the first. Under it, on net incomes from $10,000 to $l00,000 the rate would be one per cent; from slOO,Ooo to s5oO,OoO, two per cent, which is 100 per cent higher than the present levy; be- tween s500,000 and sl,000,000, two and one-half per cent, raise of 66 2f3 per cent; and over $1,000,0 three per cent, an increase of slightly more than II per cent.
 Wipe Out Primary Laws
 MT. Boyle's two measures would wipe off the statute books all laws relating to party elections. One of them seeks to repeal all existing laws relating to primaries, and the ether repeals the statute which prescribes the manner and method of electing national committeeman for the Republican and Democratic parties, and of party delegates 10 national conventions.
 Nothing is set up in the bills to replace the old primary system. A repeal of the laws would leave both parties free to conduct party elec- tions or conventions as each deem- ed best for party interests.
 Lists Many Fees
 Representative McCutcheon, Sew ard, is the author of the two meas ures relating to probate courts and fees therein. In one, is listed 19 documents which may be prepared by the Judge of Probate and the

 Mayor Walker.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Mayor Walker returns from his vacation to New York in serious and chastened mood He warns his aids that they must testify lose their jobs. He will he says, defend and will tolerate no evasions. He wants no sacrifices" He will permit no innocent men to be used as peace offerings" He speaks confidently of his vindcation will rely on his record of notable civic achievemnt
 It is not likely that even his enemies would honestly insist that Mayor Walker personally is in any sense properly to be accused of moral culpab- ity The raised question of his official honesty is equally absurd. But it cannot be denied that his Tammany utilization will make his fight harder contest.
 Mr. Walkers present announcements are those or confident courageous man. ready and willing to meet his accusers. But the Mayor is an incident only in the revolution for municipal renovation and rehabilitation which grafyngly appears to be gain ing headway throughout the country in cities both great and small. Should he attempt, through mis- taken sense of party loyalty, to defend Tammanys tottering system he will be playing into the hands Of his enemies It now is his opportunity to adopt the attitude toward Tammany that has made Gov ernor Roosevelt and Former Governor Smith dis tinguished throughout the Nation as men strong enough and courageous enough to defy the threats power and antagonistic effort of the great political organization which for so long has ruled New York City and imposed a malign influence over the Democratic Party in the Nation.

Gold.
(Boston News Bureau.

(BoSton News Bureau) By virtue of an increase of S8O0O0O0 in the gold holdings of the United States in the week ended Wednesday, this country now has a total of monetary gold holdings of s4685 0O0000 the largest total ever held by any country. The supply exceeds by $1oo0000 the previous high record made by this country May A. 1927. Despite all the efforts of the Federal Reserve to prevent it. gold has kept pouring into this try, until we now hold over 42 per cent. of the world supply of approximately $11 100000. We have more than twice much gold as France, the next largest holder, with of 56094 900 900 francs (on March 13 has slightly over 20 per cent of the world supply.
 We have nearly seven times much gold as England. We have gold reserve enough to supply dollar gold for every dollar of currency in circu- lation in this country which amounts to about s4,6o0,o00,00o. This not true when the supply reached its previous peak in 1927 and is not true of any other country
 In the past year the supply of monetary gold in the United States has been increased by some s2800oo0O0. Our supply from Argentina, Brazil, Japan and other countries and only heavy purchases by the Federal Reserve in support of sterling exchange have prevented our drawing gold from England as well.
 The "easy money" policy of the Federal Reserve in 1921 succeeded in turning the tide, and dmin- ishing our excessive gold stocks This year, des- pite unprecedented money ease, the supply con- tinueS to increase. And there is yet no sign that the flood can be stemmed.
 The remedy is not, as J. F. Darling, Director of the great English Midland Bank suggested the remonetizaton of silver Perhaps the most effective remedy would be renewal of foreign borrowing in the United States, which would involve export of gold
 Foreign borrowing in the United States last year totalled s1,OS8 100000, an increase of $780, 100000 from 1929 But significant point is that foreign borrowing in the last six months of 1880 totalled only s280000000 against $808 900 in the first six months. Unsettlement in the bond mar ket here combined with political unsettlement abroad, made it impossible for foreign countries in need of new financing to borrow reasonable terms
 With current low money rates a better bond market and political stabilization approaching abroad perhaps the renewal of foreign borrowing in the United States a large scale is not far dis tant Probably not until that time will the country be relieved of it's burdensome oversupply of gold

NEW BUDGET BILL.

Senator Dimond's bill providing for real Terri torial budget ought to become law If the affairs of the Territory to be placed firmly on sound base the Legislature ought to have at hand when it meets comprehensive and authentic estimate of the revenue needs of the various Territorial depart ments and the probable income that would be avail able to meet those needs. Under such circumstances 1t would be easier for the Legislature to make appro- prprations balance with treasury expectations The budget system, long in in Great Britain and elsewhere is the approved method of making in- come and outgo balance. Experts in government ev- erywhere favor it. Wherever it has been accepted improved conditions have followed.
 This system would not prevent the Legislature from cutting down increasing any item in the budget or from adding taking away items
 The budget system has been recommended by Gov Parks and other chief executives of the Terri tory and is the only thing that we know Of that would give the Legislature chance to work tntelli- gently and do it's best for the Territory and nll concerned

APPEALING THE BONE DRY LAW.

The passage of the bill repeating the Alaska Bone Dry Law by the House of Representatives was timely and sensible It in accordance with the demands of justice The act of the House has no connection with the enforcement of the Gigh teenth Amendment or the Volstead Act They will be in effect in Alaska whether the repeal bill be- comes part of the statutes of the Territory or not and they will be enforced by the officers who have had charge of Prohibition enforcement in the past.
 The situation is not at all similar to that in those States which have State enforcement laws. The State enforcement laws authorize State police authorities and courts to enforce the Vostead Act just if the latter State law. When those laws repealed the effect is to make the Federal Government the sole Prohibition enforcement author ity. In Alaska both the Volstead Law and the Alaska Bone Dry Law enforced by Federal authority We have no Territorial police court. The repeal of the Alaska Bone Dry Law simply that in this Territory in most of the Volstead Act.
 It is true that the Vostead Act is liberal than the Alaska Bone Dry Law. That is good for the repeal of the latter The Vostead Act among other things permits physicians to prescribe liquor medicine when it's need is indicated That cannot be done in Alaska without violating the law conspirng to have it violated. Repeal would of the mockeries of Prohibition enforcement here
