President Giues
 Senate Talk

President Hoover paid a sur prise visit to the Senate recently to call it's attention to three ma Ijor problems he said was con- fronting the nation and to re- commend for it's adoption a pro- gram which he advocated in or der to solve these difficulties.
 The President urged the broadening of the special sales taxes proposed in the Revenue bill by the Senate without a re- sort to a general tax on all sales. He declared the existing emer gency demanded quick action.
 Notes Much Apprehension
 He spoke of apprehension felt both at home and abroad that the Government might not be able to balance it's budget, and said: Tn order to solve the pro b]em and show the world We are ready to meet our emergencies at any price, I come to favor 3 more general manufacturers ex- else tax"
 { Continuing the President de- clared that three major problems are confronting the United States:
 l. Reduction of government expenses.
 2. Passage of revenue legisla : ton which will balance the bud get and stabilize the American dollar.
 3. Adequate relief measures for the destitute.
 He called for $400,0O0,000 ad-
 
 tditional economies. He said he favored allowing the Recon struction Finance Corporation to increase the issuance of securi- ties to $3,OOO,OOO,OOO.
 Senate Committee Balks
 Within one half-hour after the President had endorsed h 2 sales tax, the Senate Finance Committee rejected his plan by g vote of 12 to 8, but it substi- tuted other levies which it hop cd would fill the gap completely.
 It voted one cent per gallon tax on gasoline, five percent con- sumers' tax on domestic gas and electricity which the Senate has already turned down upon a former occasion; and the Senate boosted the Federal income taxes to the level of 1921.

 Retrenchment Policy
 The Indian Bureau in Alaska was perhaps harder hit than any other department. After taking heavy cut in appropria- tiOns from the Budget Commit tee, the House took a slash and then following that slash when tile Interior Department appro- priations bill came before the senate it took a general 10 per cent slash again. As a result cf this curtailment, the Kanaka- Eak School has been closed. The Eklutna school will take part of the pupils and the balance will TO doubt go to the Wrangell school which will operated th.s year in a limited way. Right now there are more applications for entrance in the Wrangell School than can be accommodated even with a full allowance by appro- priations. Teachers are being moved back and forth and re- alignments made in line with the appropriations and in some instances schools and teachers cropped.

New Drastic Restrictions
Put Into Effect.

By UHtted Press
OTTAWA, Ontario, Oct. 10
Drastic tariff changes expected to
eliminate from $75,OOO,OoO to $780,
100000 in sales by the United States
to this country went into effect to-
day.
They affect agricultural and man
ufactured product exports from all
sections of the United States. and
accordingly, all wage-earners de-
pendent upon such exports.
The business, it is intended, will
be transferred to members of the
British Commonwealth of Nations.
The new rates are the result of
agitation which became widespread
with passage of the Smoot- Hawley
tariff act in the United States more
than two years ago, which Cana
dams and others said reduced their
market.
More restrictions on United States
exports are to come, these from
Great Britain and other empire
units. Britain's changed schedules
Will be announced next week.
Two hundred sixty-tWo items
were changed, about one-fourth the
total number on the Canadian
