Mr.. and Mrs. E. L. Osborne to-
day were awarded $4,000 damages

BEVERAGE TAX UP

WASHINGTON, April %. up
The 100000, 900 Democratic econo-
my bill already has dwindied TO
$l36, 100000 and several large and
controversial items remain to be
acted upon by a house which Is
working its own will over the pro-
testations of its leaders.
The house last night by 1873 to
"a reaffirmed its approval of an
II per cent reduction in all gov
ernment salaries over $500. But
this will save only sl2,000,o0 The
economy committee and the Demo-
cratic leaders had wanted to cut
all salaries above $1,000 to save
S67 100000.
Before approving the pay cut,
the house by 176 to 159 rejected
President Hoover's "furlough" plan
designed to place the government
service on the equivalent of a five
day week. This had been estimated
to save S80,000,000 a year.
The house also rejected the COM
mittee plan to eliminate Saturday
half holidays. This cut $9,000,000
more from the total savings in the
bill. Consolidation of the war and
navy departments to save S50,000,-

reduction in veterans benefits.
WASHINGTON, April 80. lU.nN-
Substantial revenue increases in
the 1882 revenue bill resulted today
from action of the senate finance
committee in raising beverage
taxes almost universally, including
the levies on brewers wort and
malt
The tax on wort was raised from
the house rate of 5 cents a gallon
to 10 cents. The malt syrup tax
was changed from 35 cents a gal
Ion to 4 cents pound. Treasury
officials who collaborated with the
committee estimated this tax would
amount to 46 cents gallon.
The committee broadened the
exemptions in this category to in
clude products sold for the manu-
facture of food or textiles
Grape concentrates were put on
a gallon basis instead of the ad
valorem base agreed upon in the
house. The tax was made A cents
gallon where the house levy was
40 per cent.
The tax on legal cereal beverages
was lowered from 2 cents to Ia
cents a gallon, at an estimated
revenue loss of $1,000,000.
1t was agreed that the commit
tee would recommend an IL cents
a gallon tag on unfermented grape
juice, 9 cents above the house level.
Carbonated waters were made sub
ject to five cents gallon tax, an
increase of three cents, and distilled
water was retained at cents
gallon.

DISTRICT BOARD
TAKES ADVANTAGE
OF FEDERAL AID

Imperial Irrigation district di-
rectors recently availed themselves
Of benefits created when the con-
gress of the United States April l.,
1882, passed an act for the TEN
porary relief of water users on irrl-
CATION projects constructed and op-
Grated under the reclamation law
and approved resolution calling
for the transfer of monies in the
United States contract fund for
payment of the Laguna dam con-
tract to the cashier and payroll
account, according to records on
file at headquarters here.
Monies held in the United States
contract fund for payment on the
Laguna dam contract fund would
amount to $4,000 this year and in
stead OF being held for the annual
payment to the government, by per-
mission of the interior department
is being used to maintain the dis
trict during the present depression
period.
The transfer thus far made from
the contract fund to the general
fund approXimates $4,000 which al
ready had accumulated, it is re-
vealed by district records.
In addition to benefits derived
from permission of the government
to postpone the payment, one-half
of the sum paid last year will, &C
cording to provisions of the act, be
applied to the amount due next
year.
The resolution passed by the
board to create the special account
under section 15-E of the California
irrigation district act, read in part
as follows:
mo payment shall be made from
special account except upon the
written order of L. w. Allen or R.
B. Brissenden who are hereby des-
ignated for the purpose of drawing
orders upon said special account
and no such order shall be honored
unless and until the same is ap-
proved in writing by r. H. Maddux
and M. j. Dowd, persons hereby
designated for the purpose"
The treasurer of the district was
designated to have custody of the
account, according to the resolution
The next payment on the Laguna
dam contract was to have been paid
December 81, this year and was de-
clared to come under the provi-
sions of the moratorium.

HERO OF WORLD
WAR LAUNCHES
BONUS ATTACK
CongressiO n al M e d a l
Holder Declares Bill To
Be Class Legislation.

WASHINGTON, April 90. U.P)-
The $2,000,000,000 Patman bonus
bill was attacked before the house
ways and means committee today
as "class legislation" discriminatory
to the rank and file of the unem-
ployed
Richard ONeill, who at 20 re-
ceived the congressional medal of
honor for heroism in the World war,
made the assertion.
There are thousands of veterans
like myself who do not need such
aid" ONeill said. "On the other
hand there are thousands of un-
employed not veterans who deserve
such aid"
O'Neill, however, said he dis
agreed with other opponents of the
bill, that cash payment would ruin
the currency of the country"
The bill provides for issuance of
$4,000, 900, 900 in new currency. The
witness, New Yorker, said he was
not representing any organization
only myself"
Professor Irving Fisher, the Yale
university economist, told the COM
mittee the bill would "pay what is
not due" to the veterans and might
further impair confidence"
Touching on the currency aspects
of the measure he said the country
is suffering from deflation, but
Justified initiation can best be Sc
cured by controlled credit expan-
sion."
Fisher said two things are needed
to "get us out of the depression =
to raise the price level and to stab
ilize the price level"
He blamed 80 per cent of the de
preston ION two economic diseases
debts and dollars"
by the debt disease I mean that
in 1929 we had accumulated a ire
mendous observation-disclosures, from
stock market speculation, repara-
tions and internal obligations
amounting to 100000, 100000.
THE dollar disease from which
we are now suffering is a result
of the debt disease and is caused
by contraction of the currency"

STATE BOARD OF
EDUCATION DRAWS
FIRE OF P. 7. A.

FRESNO, Calf, April 29.-U.P)-
Mrs. William j. Hayes of Burlin-
game will head the California Con-
greSs of Parents and Teachers for
the next two years, the result of
elections at the convention here
that determined all but one of the
officers for the next biennium.
The Lindbergh kidnapping and
politics in the state board of edu-
cation came under fire at conven-
tion today.
One of five products of the reso-
lutions committee inferentially
blamed the famous kidnapping on
the public and law officers alike.
1t said: kidnapping and other
Icruelties" result from lack of Wig
orous prosecutions of minor
crimes and public apathy toward
conditions which lead to them.
Another resolution ironically
enough followed by only two days
the appearance of Vierling Kersey,
head of the state department of
public instruction, on the conven-
ton platform.
The resolution attacked the state
board of education and most par
ticularly the head of the board,
for playing politics. 1t asks the
delegates to work toward "remov-
ing the office of state superintend-
ent of public instruction and the
whole board of education from pol
itics," and would authorize a COM
mittee to work toward that end
The first of the five resolutions
was a brief re-pledging of the or
ganization to prohibition enforce
ment and support of the Wright
act.
