GARNER BILL
DEBATED IN
HOUSE
Passage Near As Democrats
Voice Defiance of Hoover
Threat of Veto

The battle between Presi-
dent Hoover and Speaker
John N. Garner over the Gar
ner-Wagner relief program was
carried to the House floor TO-
day.
Defying the Presidents threat
of veto. Acting Chairman Crisp
CD of Georgia, of the Ways and
Means Committee, called UP the
conference report on the $2,122,-
100000 bill for debate and a vote.
With a clear-cut issue between
the President and the conference
committees-the President oppos.
ing and the conferees demanding
that the Reconstruction Finance
Corp, be given authority to make
private loanS-victory was claimed
by the Democratic leaders.
Speaker Garner, answering
President Hoover's criticism in
his press conference, defended the
proposal to give the corporation
broad authority.
Garner Raps Mills
The President, he said, seeks to
restrict loans to special interests.
He declared:
The statement of the Presi-
dent criticizing this proposal
has all the earmarks of having
been written by Secretary of
the Treasury Mills. Mills words
are used in 1t.
THE Secretary has set up q
straw man and has knocked
him down, in the definition of
what security shall be taken
for loans. We have copied the
present law"
Garner denied the Presidents
statement that loans would be
made on no security at all. The
bill directs the corporation to
demand adequate security, he
said.
Crisp Opens Debate
Crisp, opening debate for the
bill in it's present form, declared
that the Government must pro.
vide loans if banks will not. He
said:
"The situation In the cOun-
try is appalling. People who
have money are boarding It
and banks will not lend. Of

clared Congress had better act

Waters outburst came at the
conclusion of a turbulent mass
meeting near Camp Marks, Ana

to quell several fist fights.
"Out of Hand"
Waters warned that the hungry
veterans were getting out of hand
and told reporters:
"These men must be fed
now. We do not want any viO-
Ience. We intend to do every.
thing we can to prevent any
violence, but we have thousands
Of men here hungry. This Is
an emergency Of today, not to.
morrow, or next week.
''I told Vice President Curtis
that il there is any trouble

DISAPPEAR
WITHOUT
TRACE
Mattern and Griffin Missing
Since Departing Berlin;
22 Hours Overdue

MOSCOW, July 7 (I.N.S.)s
All the resources of the Soviet
government were called into
play tonight in an effort to
find some trace of Bennett
Griffin and James J. Mattsrn,
American fliers missing since
they left Berlin at 8 p. m.
(E. s. T.) yesterday for
Moscow on their. attempted
record-breaking flight around
the world.
BY radio and telephone, Gov
ernment officials and officers Of
Soviet civil flying organizations
spread a network Of inquiry over
the territory between Moscow ana
Berlin and as far east Of the
Soviet capital as Irkutsk and
Kasan.
20 Hours Overdue
No cheering message came out
Of the wilderness to reward them.
At 9 p. m. g p. m. E.S.T0, "a
hours had elapsed since the dar.
ing airmen started out from
Templehof Aerodrome, Berlin
after a record flight across the
Atlantic. ...
Soviet officials were inclined to
believe that the airmen either
never reached Russian territory
at all or possibly landed or
crashed in some uninhabited wild"
erness where there are no means
of communication.
It was pointed out. however,
that the French fliers, Marcel
Doret and Joseph Lebrix. who
crashed In the Ural Mountains
on a long distance flight from
Paris last September, were located
within three hours after their
descent. Osoviachim agents in the
region promptly communicated
with Moscow.
Weather UnfavOrable
Little hope was held out that
the fliers had passed over
Moscow and continued on, as it
was believed someone would have
been certain to sight the reds
white and blue plane and send
the news to the capital. Russia
maintains a regular aerial service
from Moscow to Siberian points.
The weather in the Moscow
region was cloudy and cold. Ur1p
favorable weather reports were
received from places east Of
Moscow as far as Siberia.
Although doing their best to
locate the fliers. Soviet officials
maintained their usual placid
fatalism. To frantic questions
they replied 'nitchevo" (dont
worry and "avos"-an expression
meaning perhaps fate will help"

HEAVIER 7 AXES
ON BIC INCOMES
HELD FUTILE

How COVER mental revenues suf-
fered during the depression Is re-
vealed in the report of internal
revenue collections for the fiscal
year 1882, made public today.
The Federal Government col
lected only $1,557,729.042.64 in
taxes during the fiscal year
which ended June 80, last. This
was 1910, O,499,71158 less than the
revenue returns of the previous
fiscal year. 1t was $1.353,5O2.
532.74 below collections of two
years ago.
Tax Fallacy Shown
When $8O,583, ,504.11 was de-
Quoted from the gross collections
on account of erroneous or il
legal collections which had to
be refunded, the net collections
of the Government were $1,477.-
145,538.53.
These figures, it was pointed
out, emphasized the fallacy of
the taxation theory of depending
for Federal revenue on higher
levics on large incomes and the
need of other sources Of revenue
such as the manufacturers sale
tax.
The report of Commissioner
David Burnet showed corporation
income tax collections of $685.
556,11555 and individual income
tax receipts of $427 190,581 SO
for the fiscal year 1882.
Heavy Drop in d. c.
In the District of Columbia
alone, income tax receipts amount
ed to $7,449,921 as compared with
$l2,716,156 in 1881 and $l4,784,-
495 in 1890.
Revenues from all other sources
fell off accordingly all down the
line. Receipts from estates
dropped $656,O13.89; distilled
spirits went down $1,728, %,
tobacco was $45, ,697 ,88406 less;
various stamp and admission
taxes dropped $18,042910.55 and
miscellaneous taxes were $1.091,-

year.

Rail Rate Drop Need
Seen With Wage Cut

Opposition to railway wage cut
ting is justified when there is no
guarantee of lower freight rates,
according to the current weekly
of the Alexander Hamilton InSti-
tute, which asserts that lower
wage rates without lower freight
rates means the further impover-
ishment of labor and the general
public.
Hailing the recent decision of
railroad executives to cut railway
wages again as laying the basis
for a further downward readjust-
ment of freight rates, which is
essential to traffic, and business
revival, the Institute says rail
officials still refuse to recognize
publicly the need for lower
freight-rates although this is the
goal toward which they must
move if they are to solve the
railroad problem.

WEEK
IN BOND TILT
STARTS
BY MUNkOE ROBERTS

NEW YORK, Aug. % Q.N.S0
The bond market started its
seventh consecutive week Of ad-
vancing prices today with the
railroad obligations showing the
way into new high territory for
the movement, and in some in
stances for the year.
b. & o. FavOrites
The Baltimore and Ohio obliga-
tionS were again the prime
favorites. The 41as due in
March of next year advanced
to a new high at 7412, the 6
per cent issue reached new
top at IS on top of a sharp
gain last week.
Hudson and Manhattan adjust
ment SIS gained about 112 points,
reaching new high for the
year, and up more than 80
points from their low touched
June, last.
other issues to show fair sized
gains were the obligations of the
Nickle Plate. Southern Pacific,
North Pacific, Illinois Central
and several others.
Government Liens Slow
United States Government
obligations were extremely slow
in opening and showed little
change. In the first half hour
of trading only three issues of
Liberty bonds were traded in.
The Liberty 3las sold down
slightly at 1OO21, the first 4As
were steady at 101.13, and the
fourth 414s were unchanged at

Foreign government issues were
steady and moderately active
with the German International

ADS GET CREDIT
FOR DRUG INC.
PROFITS

Net income of Drug, Inc, which
controls many Washington stores,
for the six months ended June
80, after all charges, totaled ST.
684,021, compared with $10,656,-
053 for the first six months of
1881, according to the Semian-
nual report sent to stockholders
today.
After the payment of small
amount of dividends in both years
on stock of a subsidiary company
outstanding. the earnings for the
first six months this lear are
equivalent to $2.19 per share.
This compares with $3.04 per
share on June 80. 1881.
Advertising Big Card
w. C. Watt, treasurer of Drug,
Inc, issued the following state
ment in connection with the re-
port to the stockholders of the
corporation:
"It is significant that earn
ingS for the first six months
of 1892 have covered the divi-
dend requirements by a sub
stantiaI margin. The stability
of the company has been indi-
Gated by the continuation
throughout the depression pc
riOd of the regular quarterly
dividend of 81 per share.
Possibly one of the most i'm
pOrtant factors accounting for
this favorable condition, in
addition to the character of
the products, has been the cor
pOration'S policy of maintain
ing a consistent expenditure in
national advertising for its
products. We are convinced
that advertising has been of
great Importance in maintain
ing a satisfactory sales volume"
ASSET RATIO HIGH
The company continues in a
strong financial position, Mr..
Watt further points out. Cur
rent assets on June 80 stood at
$58,830,145 with cash of $14,-
637, ,704 and marketable securities
of $11,842,359) as against current
liabilities of $8,35O,523, a ratio Of
7 to l. On December 81, 1881,
cash stood at $16,O85,311 and mar
ketable securities at $10,132,520.
Marketable securities in both
cases are stated at cost, but pro
vision has been made for a re-
serve to bring them to market
value as of June 80. OF the
total of marketable securities ap-
proximately $9,O00.00O is in U. S.
Government securities, municipal
bonds, call loans and certificates
of deposit.
