CHICAGO, April 13. (R-While newly elected directors of the Fed eral Farmboards grain stabiliza- tion corporation considered behind closed doors a way of disposing of 200 million bushels of wheat by June 30, James Murray, president of the Chicago Board of Trade told the Chicago Association of Commerce four ways in which the exchange offered to restore normal grain trading.
 He urged the United States to cease trying to merchandise grain and to turn over the existing sur plus over to the regular dealers to market along with the coming crop.
 Government funds should be de voted to cooperative marketing, he said, but should not be used at lower rates of interest in merchan- dlsing agricultural commodities in competition with established trade,

TARIFF UNION |S ANSWER 10 CRY 0F
 HUNGRY MILLIONS
SUPPORTERS IN FRANCE AND ENGLAND RALLYlNG TO
 THE IDEA

PARIS, April 13. (P)-Word from Berlin announced that experts ot Germany and Austria plan to pro- ceed to settle technical details ot their tariff union shortly and un- less the Chancellories of Germany and Austria are unexpectedly con- fronted by diplomatic restraint IL is proposed t nat the customs agreement shall be converted into a formal treaty at the earliest pos sible date
 With these developments in sight the suggestion has arisen among the European powers that the Austro-German pact must be fore stalled by a comprehensive Euro pean agreement. In many quar- ters it appears that such a plan if taken up and pushed without delay would have great chances
 
 of success.
 Influential supporters in England and France are understood to be rallying to the idea.
 Meanwhile, all four Austrian parties have declared in favor of the proposed customs union with Germany, thus ending fears that the proposal might encounter pow erful opposition at home.
 Foreign Minister Schober made a concilitory speech, however, declar- ing that Austria would welcome the creation of similar economic agreements in Europe. Referring to reasons for bringing the treaty to a continuation, Minister Schober said. it was in reply to "dispalrlng cry of hungry millions that Dr. Curtius and I thought it the best way out of need"

THE LEGISLATURE

JUNEAU, April 13. Especial to The Gateway)-Donnelly introduc- ed a bill Saturday seeking to in- itiate new system of taxing fish taken in traps, putting into oper- ation a graduated scale ranging from g to $8 per 1000 depending on the quality taken by any trap.
 The measure proposes to reduce the present license tax from $200 to $10O to which would be added the following graduations:
 $2 per 1000 for all over 25 and under 1000; $4 per 1000 to 150,OO0; $6 for 15O,0OO to 100000, and $8 above 100000 fish taken in sin gle trap.
 After the Senate voted 6 to 1 to indefinitely postpone the Hess general sales tax measure, Dimond gave notice that he would move on Monday for a reconsideration of the vote. It is understood the Senate plans to lay the bill on the table until after the final deci- sion has been reached on opprO- priationS and revenues. The Senate finance committee is considering the Hess gasoline tax bill and it is unofficially said they will probably report it out shortly with an amendment which will strike out everything except gas used by automobiles.
 Donnelly introduced measure asking for s1O,OOO for stream inn proyement of the Iditarod river where change in the current has left the town of Iditarod iso- lated on a slough.

MAYOR CERMAk STARTS CLEAN UP CITY HALL
 POLITICAL IMMERSION

CHICAGO, April 13, R--Anton Cermak became Mayor of Chicago Thursday and within short time had presided over his first coun- ell meeting and made his first inaugural address.
 He said. "I am going to give Chicago the best administration they ever had" Hours before he made this promise to Chicago, Mayor Cermak's political broom had been sweeping out the city hall with the result that 2,200 appointees of the former mayor, William Hale Thompson, had been dropped from the payrolls. About 88 more are going making 5000 in all.
 The orders were given also by Mayor Cermak that none should be paid until it was shown that he had worked for his pay in the municipal office and was not merely a political hanger on.

Help For Home Owners

Following close on the heels of the an nouncemcnt of Mayor Ougey of New Brit ain that he had asked Governor Cross to call conference of state bankers to lower interest rates on first mortgages comes welcome news from Hartford that this action has already been taken. Effective July l. number of Hartford banks will lower their interest rates on first mortgages from to l-2 per cent. Savings banks are making the initial move and it is hoped that others will follow the example Bank Commissioner Shppee re- marked that it was an action for the indvd- ual banks themselves to consider.
 Most of us are aware of the fact that many home owners are to-day minus the property that was theirs and which they were enjoying for many years In number of instances banks have been forced to foreclose when property owners could not pay of something on their mortgage let alone keep up their n- terest payments. To protect themselves and their depostors the banks had to act. As result the real estate market today IS glutted with many pieces of property. many of them excellent bargains if more people only had enough ready cash to make down payments. Others are obtainable at the price of the hrst mortgage.
 Recognizing this situation Mayor Qulgley hoped that statewide conference might pro- vide some means of relief for home owners who haven't yet lost their property. but are threatened with it. Such a meeting will prob ably still be we'll attended. Although the ac- ton of Hartford bankers may extend to other cities as it should, some public movement fostered by the state and civic authorities would do much to facilitate the relief work as we'll as aequaint the public with what IS going on. It is genuine relief movement and one worthy of the greatest praise. The men who are making it possible for us to keep our homes intact are real citizens.

Hoover Finally Scores

In asking for years moratorium of all war debts President Herbert Hoover has taken the most impressive step of his entire admin istration. Regardless of the acceptance or refusal of the offer by all the European coun- tries involved his name and fame is now as- surred of definite place in history. To for get absolutely for one entire period of twelve months the S246,00O,OOO in principle and interest that would be due us requires con- siderable courage and shows great amount of altruism. With our national deficit rapidly nearing the billion dollar mark the sacrifice IS that in every sense of the word.
 It really was up to the United States to lead the way in this world debt holiday. We have shown the way to the world in great splurge of spending. rather reckless at times, in the last decade in what might be termed postwar indulgence in uxuries. It IS time for retrenchment. We should have realized that almost two years ago when the bottom dropped out of the stock market with its false and inflated values. That the country was waiting for some such move the President made was evident in the brighter tone of the market yesterday.
 Germany, of course, will derive the greatest benefit from the moratorium. that is speaking in dollars and cents. Germany happens to be the country that does all the paying. All of the rest are collecting on their debts, although they may have some to pay off at the same time. The United States holds the bag being indebted to no European country for her par ticipation in the World war. That made it more necessary that we speak first for mora torium. If other countries fail to follow our example it can't be said that we didn't make t.e first plea for stabiization. France seems to be bit backward. She hates to sacrifice the millions she would by a moratorium. Per haps too, there is still germ of the old hstred that has existed between France and Germany for centuries
 From political viewpoint the success of Mir Hoover at the republican convention next year is made. No other republican could possibly oppose him and hope to be successful. That same feeling will carry over to the national election in November, lo32, too. The democrats with victory in sight are checkmated by events that they cannot turn aside. In fact. they will have to throw in their support with the President If there's going to be holiday, the whole world should enjoy 1t.

Burglar Traps

Traps for burglars will be less popular here- after in Doylestown Pa. since Dr Raley H. Bell, nature writer, was killed by. his own trap. Living alone and fearing burglars. Dr Bell had rigged up shotgun in closet SO that an intruder would set it off. He seems to have acted absent -mindedly as an intruder himself and got the load of buekshot in his chest.
 Burglar devices that go beyond the mere sounding of an alarm are usually more peril ous to the inmates of a house than they are to burglars Merely locking doors and win dows accompishes about as much as anything A burglar who wants to get into the house can generally get in somehow. The best burglar protection, as a rule. is to keep very little money or jewelry in the house, and to have that fact known in the neighbor hood. -.... ..

Brazil Coffee Party

A recent incident at Rio de Janeiro resembles the Boston Tea Party. Only this was eof- fee party. and the eelebrants were destroying their own property. They calmly dumped 100000 pounds into the sea. The purpose was quite in line with some of the recent economics. which holds it justifiable, and even admirable, to destroy food when it is too plentiful in order to raise the price of what is left It has been done often in this country. The doctrine. however. seems rather oddly to be applied only to food rather than other kinds of products. If the principle is sound, why not dump coal, copper, radio sets. auto mobiles and clothing into the sea' Valuable materials and labor have gone into their pro- ducton, but So have they into the production of foodstuffs.
 Here is one of the ridiculous and cruel ab surdit;es of modern business. There are mil lions of people in the world who would like to have that coffee. just as there are millions hungry for the wheat that gluts our granaries and elevators and for the commodities and services of countless kinds that glut our mar kets And somehow our system of produc- tion and distribution is failing to get those things to the people who want them, in re- turn for products and services they could give in exchange.

came divided. There were those who objected to any in the party drinking while there were others who thought it nobody's busi- ness but their own whether they drank or didn't in the course of the many banquets.
 We rather incline to the latter view. Our mayors were in France as representatives of their cities to be sure, but not on official bus mess of nation, state or city. As such they were not bound by the laws of this nation to abstain from intoxicating liquors if offered any. They were bound, however, by certain laws of courtesy to break bread and drink wine when offered by their hosts. Temper ance men could go through the formality of touching the wine to their lips without of lending the host nor breaking any pledges made with themselves or their organizations. But each man should not have constituted himself the arbiter of his fellow executives
 There was too much wrangling among our mayors. That should be left for the halls of their respective councils, not foreign country where they were guests. The tour IS we'll ended, we think. If there are any more of them. let's hope it will be decided before departure whether they are to be wet, dry or according to the individuals liking We in- cline to the latter. as it is an American tenet personal liberty.

Restoring Wooded Lands

The first task of American pioneers taking the country as whole, was to deforest the land for food crops. The work was overdone More farm land was cleared and broken to the blow than was needed. Likewise on the treeless plains and prairies an excessive area of sod was turned to cultivation. In semi-ard regions, irrigation was carried to excess Now much good land has been exhausted. Land on the edge of cultivation has deterorated so that it is worthless Almost every state in the Union has considerable land which. as matters stand, seems good for nothing except raising trees
 New York state has undertaken notable reforestation program of this kind. It has raised $20.000.00 with which it proposes to replant 100000 acres in the next ten years, Thus the land may be made profitable by the production of timber, the stabilization of moisture, drainage and climate and the development of new resources for recreation It would be a fine thing if similar use could be made of the other 99,000000 acres of worthless land in this country which has come back into public ownership again in recent years because the owners could not make a living on II.
