JOHNSON BACK,
PLANS To VOTE
. BIPARTISAN

The working Senate majority
which President-elect Franklin D.
Roosevelt can count upon was
boosted today with the return Of
Senator Hiram Johnson (R) of
California.
At the same time, the problem
of reorganizing the Republican
party took on added difficulties.
johnson pledged himself to d
program of bipartisan coopera-
ton with the Democrats to carry
out progressive policies.
An implacable foe of President
Hoover, he jumped the Republi-
can traces and worked actively
for the Democratic presidential
nominee in the general election.
Like Senator Norris (R0 of
Nebraska, who also bolted Mr..
Hoover, johnson waved aside the
prospect of retaining an import
ant committee Craftsmanship after
the Democrats take control.
Norris is chairman of the

Following is the explanation of
Ripley's Believe 1t or Not" which
appeared in Wednesdays Times:
The Writing WOnder-Ramon
Lull, beautified under the name
of San Raimundo LUllio, was born
in Mallorca about 1885. He led q
worldly life until the age of 80.
Presently, after nine years Of So
journing in a monastery, he en-
barked on the life that stamped
him as one of the most extraor-
binary characters in history.
Travelling from place to place,
this polygraphiSt, theologian and
philosopher, developed an amaz-
ing industry and production. For
fifty years there issued from his
pen steady stream of books. He
wrote encyclopedias, biographies,
dialogs, grafton and t1eatises, at
a never interrupted pace.
His average yearly production
was eighty books, and total output
for the last fifty years of his life
is the incredible number of 1000
books.
Withal, he was active as mis-
sionary in Tunis and was SEN
fenced to death repeatedly, only
to escape martyrdonl by miracle.
During my sojuorn in Palma de
Mallorca, his last resting place
within the Church OF San Fran
cisco was pointed out to me with
pride.
The Growing Glory of Nal
lOrca-The Cathedral of Palma
was begun in 1880 and was not
completed until 371 years later,
in 1901. For nobility, spacious
ness, and the singular beauty of
its conception, it yields only to
one other edifice in the world
the Cathedral of Seville-in
Gothic grandeur.
1t is more spacious than any
other Gothic cathedral, its aisles
are as wide as the naveS of most
cathedrals, it's choir is of an I'M
earthly beauty, and is referred to
as rhythmic MUSIC in stone" No
other church in Spain, except the
Seville cathedral, equals its in
grandeur and size, and neither
does any in South or North
America. -
Gall Nuts-The abnormal vege-
tative growth produced in various
plants through introduction of the
eggs of the gall insects, was dis
covered in the Balearic islands,
when the Romans first settled
them about twenty-one centuries
ago. Gall nuts first were used
as a chemical reagent to discover
the presence of iron sulphate in
sulphate of copper, by means Of
chemical action.

WHEAT VALUES
CONTINUE UP IN
STEADY TRADE
Buying Holds All Grains
Firm During Early
Profit Taking.
BY HAROLD f. RAINVILLE
United Press StaH Correspondent

CHICAGO. July 28.-Failure Of
Liverpool to make a full response to
the strength in North America
Wednesday halted the upturn in
wheat on the Board of Trade to-
day, although the market held
steady. There was fair buying and
scattered profit-taking. Liverpool
made sharp upturn in sympathy
with the rise here, but demand les
sened on the rise.
Corn was steady with wheat Oats
and rye were dull and steady.
At the opening wheat was I'M
changed to a cent higher, corn was
unchanged to Il cent higher, oats
unchanged and rye unchanged to
X cent higher. Provisions were
slow.
Liverpool was not as strong as
expected and at midafternoon had
gained only rs to Ia cents with
the exchange rate up points.
Weather reports are mostly bear
ish for corn, but the strength in
wheat is keeping the market firm.
Export buying is attracting some
attention, scattered sales of white
corn to France being reported
lately.
The cash demand for oats has
broadened out and Wednesday 265,-
900 bushels were sold, the largest
in some time. Fair sales of Mani
TOBIAS and Texas red to exporters
are claimed.

Strength again was felt in hogs
at the city yards this morning.
Prices ruled steady to cents high

One unusual feature was the lack
of inquiry for heavy butchers over
300 pounds, this class, today and
for some time recently, hardly NOV

sold for $3.50 to S.; early top hold

at 5000; holdovers were 685.
In the cattle market fed classes
were steady with other kinds dull
Receipts we're 800. Vealers were
steady most sales at $3.50 down.
Top price was $500. Calf receipts
were 500.
Lambs tended lower with a few
early sales up to $3.50. Later bids
were mostly around $500. Receipts
were 1000.
At Chicago the market in hogs
was slow with practically no early
bids or sales. Askin generally was
steady to strong with Wednesdays
average. Buyers talking weak to
lower. Best light weights $50 and
above; $50 to 100 pounds sold for
$3.50. Receipts were 10000, lnclud-

ID ACKETEERING is nothing new
IN under the sun, but fresh
twist has been given it by the state
wide demand for equalization of the
tax burden and relief for the small
home owner and farmer.
This new racket takes the form
Of taxpayers associations, groups,
and leagues. Not that all the Or
ganizers of such groups are acting
in bad faith-on the contrary, hun
dreds of members are sincere and
earnest in oneir efforts to obtain
relief, and no one denies the need
for it.
But it is a peculiar state of affairs
when man who has been actively
engaged in urging the legislature
to adopt his program of govern
mental economy, and has been
fighting efforts to assess large cor
poration earnings, is permitted to
take the rostrum of the senate and
plead for adoption of his program,
And for this, they tell me, he is re-
ceiving handsome salary.
| This was done in spite of the re-
monStrances of senators who de-
clared that never in the history of
the state had lobbyist been per-
mitted to take the floor of either
house.
Former Judge John H Aiken of
Ft. Wayne, who sprung into promi-
nence last session in a peculiar
manner, was the person given this
privilege.
Last session Lee j. Hartzell, also
of FIT. Wayne, Republican floor
leader of the senate, urged that
body to adopt his recommendation
to hire Aiken as an expert tax adj
wiser at $4,000, to be paid by APP
preparation.
The senate, promptly and prop
erly, rejected the proposal.
Investigation by curious senators
revealed that Aiken has for years
been engaged in organizing move
mentS for construction of drain
bitches, the cost of which is one of
the greatest causes of burdensome
taxes in those rural sections where
he was active.
When the demand for tax re-
form swept the state, Aiken ana
Hartzeu travelled through north
eastern Indiana, organizing the
HooSier Taxpayers Union, Inc,
membership in which cost ST.. And
Aiken is the president.
Thew tell me that ont of the
money raised in this manner, Aiken
is to receive pay for his services
during this session.
The lobbyists register, on file
with the secretary of state, does not
reveal that Aiken is listed.
If he is accorded the privilege of
addressing a house of the legiSla-
ture, as he did on motion of his
close friend and associate, Hartzell,
then it may be supposed that in the
future the lobbyists representing
public utilities, road material cor
porations, Office holders, and other
private interests will be. accorded
the same opportunity.
What's fair for one should be fair
for all-but perhaps other lobbyists
won't be able to get away with it
unless associated in enterprises with
floor leader.

rate of $3.50 on each 500 of as

every form of rubber tired vehicle
from baby carriages to motor
hearSes.
Even bicycles, invalids' wheel
chairs and children's rubber-tired
toys are not exempt.
The tax on parts and accessories
covers ANY article, either useful or
ornamental, to be attached to the
car"
1t includes spark plugs, storage
batteries, leaf springs, coils, timers,
tire chains, radiator ornaments, etc.
The tax on motorcycles is the
same as on autos. There is no tax
on tractors.
