, I'VE propose to say to the presi-
F, dent that there shall be no more class
legislation" Garner roared as the
packed galleries and the silent men,
bers listened attentively.
/, II can say now and have the
presidents authority for it, that this
country is in worse shape now than
it has been in its history" Garner
continued.
For when I asked the president
he replied that the appropriation of
$500 100000 might lead to a panic.
Looks for Good Times
Ellis policy has been so uncertain
that if he looks for panic. around
the corner. maybe we can look for
good times"
Garner said he held out for the
principle of broadening the base of
the reconstruction corporation SO
that all persons could benefit from
it instead of any one class.
Garner said there is no place
where an individual can borrow
money in this country any more"
adding that banks that had borrowed
from the reconstruction corporation
were refusing to lend money for the
restoration of industry or develop
ment.
/. Urging the house to stick by his
principle of broadening the base of
the reconstruction corporation and
not to surrender on the direct relief
proposition, Garner said in conclud-
ing:
II make that suggestion because
believe we have got to have some
reservoir of relief or we will have
riots. We might as well be plain
about it,"

Two American filters on do or die

through clammy fog over the Al.

set by Harold Gatty and Wiley Post.
Behind schedule, they Stak e d

skill in combating the elements.
They carried no boat, parachutes or
other safety device.
Escaping disaster by narrow mar
gin, they roared into this port Tues
day at 2:38 p. M, eastern Standard
Time) after being lost In fog for
about four hours. They hastily re-
fuelled, ate, checked their craft and
started the ocean flight at 4:59 p. m.
Watch for landau
Their first landfall would be Ire
land, they hoped, but If all went well
they planned to zoom along without
stopping until they reached Berlin.
They had time to make up. for they
consumed 10 hours, 81 minutes in the
flight from New York to Harbor
Grace. whereas Gatty and Post did it
in 8 hours. So minutes.
Their schedule called for them to
reach the Irish coast about a. m.
Wednesday.
A "pea soup" fog which they could
neither climb over or squeeze under
nearly sent them to their deaths be-
fore they landed here. Near Cape
Freels they dropped note, asking
startled residents to point the way
toward Harbor Grace.
Even with this assistance, however,
the fog forced them to overly their
destination 100 miles before they
turned back.
Their gasoline supply was dwind-
ling and If they had continued on
I toward the Arctic wastes they as
suredly would have been lost.
Sandwiches, chocolate, oranges and
water were slowed away in the plane.
After Berlin, the filters plan to dash
across Europe to Siberia, over Asia
to the Pacific and home by way Of
Alaska. OF this itinerary, the 3,400-
mile nonstop flight across the Siber-
ian wastes and Boring Strait to Nome

Washington, July 6.-(P)-The 20
litical talk went on across the land
Wednesday. stimulated by charges
from administration Republicans in
Washington that Governor Franklin
D. Roosevelt had surrendered to
Tammany hall and that his reforest-
alton program is utterly visionary

But one of his most ardent sup
porters. William G. McAdoo, in a
New York speech summarized:

Bishop James Cannon. Jr.. insisted
at indianapolis he had not forecast a
Republican victory in his July 1

the 18th amendment would not be

The administration criticism came
from Secretary Hyde Of agriculture
and Senator Moses of New Hamp-
shire.
Hyde said OF the Roosevelt reforest-
acknowledgement program:
This grand project is worthy of
the economic foresight of the gov
ernor."
He estimated that a million men
could plant a billion trees each day

lion trees in "all the nurseries in
America"

Berlin, July 6.-(P)-James Mattern
and Bennett Griffin, American round
the-world filters, landed at Tempelhof
Airdrome at $40 p. m. dl:40 a. m. E.
s. To Wednesday.
They brought their red, white and
blue ship down on the field little
more than 10 hours after leaving
Harbor Grace, New Foundland.
More than two hours before they
landed they had been sighted over
Hanover. Usually the flight from that
city is a matter of less than an hour
and when they did not appear at
Tempelhof within that time those who
awaited them at the field began to
worry
It developed. however, that there
was some bad weather between here
and Hanover and the globe girdlers
had been obliged to go out of their
way.
The Mattern-Griffin ship was the
first flown by Americans to reach
Berlin on a nonstop flight from the
western hemisphere, and officials at
Tempelhof Airdrome took note of the
extraordinary occasion by raising the
stars and stripes as the Century of
Progress" TAXED across the field.
A band played the Star Spangled
Banner.
The crowd on hand was not very
large because the time of the landing
generally was unknown and an In
termediate stop had been expected be-
cause of storm conditions in north
Germany.
Ambassador Frederick M. Sackett,
who had come to the field when in
formed the filters had been sighted at
Hanover, had left IS minutes before
the landing.
The filters here had bettered by two
hours, IS minutes the Post Gatty time
to this point in their world flight.
The elapsed time for Mattern and
Griffin for the approximately 1000
miles from New York was 81 hours
AZ minutes and the flying time 70
hours 18 minutes. The average speed
was about 1873 miles an hour.

funds. there is no exact limitation for
total levies. The above table does
show, however. that the city's levies
were under the limitations allowed.

total valuation remains the same this
year as last. the taxable valuation
will be reduced from $20.954.820 to

City and County to
Cut Their Expenses
Strict Economy is Made Neces'
sary by Change in Law,
Enacted at Election
TAXABLE VALUATION PARED
City and County Fathers Par.
ing Budgets in Accord
ance With Mandate

Burleigh county and the city of
Bismarck will keep their budgets for
the new fiscal year within the legal
limitations set by the new assessment
valuation law and no special elections
for raising the legal levy limitations
are contemplated. it was announced
Wednesday by George F. Will, chair
man of the county commission, and
Myron H. Atkinson. city auditor.
This means that retrenchment in
both county and city expenditures
will be necessary in view of the fact
that the new assessment law passed
by the states voters last Wednesday
reduces by one-third the taxable val
uations of real estate and personal
property.
Both the county and city commits
sions at present are preparing their
preliminary budgets for the new fiscal
year. Will said the county's prelim-
mary budget should be completed in
the next day or two while Atkinson
said the city commission expects to
complete its preliminary budget be-
fore July Is.
The preliminary budgets must be
published and public hearings for
their consideration arranged. The
county budget must be adopted on or
before July 26, 1t is provided by sta
tute, while the citys must be adopted
on or before July q.
Both Under Limitations
For the last fiscal year, neither the
county nor city levied up to the max
imum allowed but under the new law,
even if they did levy up to the maxi
mum. they could not raise as much
money as they spent last year.
Last year Burleigh county levied
7.49 mills for general purposes, where
as the law allows an 8-mill levy. It
also levied 1888 mills for roads and
bridges. compared to the maximum
limitation for this item of $50 mills.
There is no statutory limitation to
the levies that can be made for in
terest and sinking funds.
For the fiscal year just ended a to-
tai of $5l3,687 was appropriated for
the county government. This total
was distributed as follows.
