VOTE EXPECTED
TO-DAY ON The
SALES TAX BILL
Each Side Is Claiming VIC
tory, But the Battle Will
Rage Right Up to the
Voting Hour
BY PAUL r.. MALLON
United Press stan Correspondent.


Washington, March 24.--(UP)--
House opposition to the Ia per
cent sales tax which comes up for
decisive vote to-day claims to
have it licked, although the
leader Of the battle for the tax
predicts adoption before night"
Democratic Floor Leader Rainey,
white haired veteran of many a
house battle, is the one who pre-
dicted adoption of the sales levy
heart of the billion dollar rev.
enue bill which has torn party lines
asunder and overthrow leadership
in both parties.
1--WE have the tax licked" said
Rep La Guardia. repn, N. Y, a
leader Of the opposition.
The most that unbiased observ-
ers of the house could say was
that vote probably would be one
of the closest of the session. Adj
mittedly, some members who
helped put over the ''soak-the-
rich" program Of high income and
estate taxes will return to the fold
and support the sales levy. Others
have been won over by the lead
ers' agreement to exempt food,
clothing and medicine.
Before the sales tax vote, comes
a skirmish over ais per cent beer.
Rep Cullen, dem, N. r., leader Of
the Tammany delegation, has an
amendment proposing a tax of
three cents a pint of beer, lager
beer, ale, porter and other non-fn-
toxicating fermented liquor con-
tanning one-half of one per cent
and not more than 2.75 per cent of
alcohol by weight"
Cullen and his friends have little
hope the amendment will lbe adopt
ed. Nor will 1t serve to place
members on record for or against
beer, as the poll will be taken in
committee of the whole where
there are no roll calls.
The dry leader, Rep Blanton,
dem, Texas, announced he would
enter a point Of order against the
amendment on the ground that 1t
is unconstitutional A ruling on
this question must be made by
Rep Bankhead,, dem, Ala, who Is
chairman of the committee of the
whole.
The sales tax vote will come on a
motion by Rep Doughton. dem, IN.
c., to strike out the first para
graph of that section of the bill.
If he wins, the entire tax program
of the leaders viii be wrecked.
The bill then will probably be taxi
en- from the floor and returned to
the ways and means committee for
remodeling.
If the tax Is sustained, 1t will
be about the first victory for the
harassed leaders since they pre-
scented their bill. The house ran
away from their leadership in
adopting the following amend
ments:

Hartford, March 24--Properly
humidified atmosphere in the home
is the secret of common cold pre-
vention, according to DIR Albert s.
Gray, director of the Bureau of
Occupational Diseases OF the state
department of health, In the lat
ter's weekly broadcast to-day.
Moreover, proper humidity is-al-
most impossible to attain, DR. Gray
declared, except with the use of
certain devices now on the market,
which can be applied to the heat
ing system and with comparative
~ little expense made to furnish
the correct amount of moisture.
In discussing the relationship of
proper ventilation and proper rel
alive humidity to god health, DR.
Gray stated that the majority of
people suffer three to four colds q
year and that colds cause almost
SO per cent of the absences from
work, costing workers and industry
millions of dollars annually. That
colds are definitely related to at
mospheric conditions Is empha-
sized by the fact that most of
them come in October, the month
in which peope first close their
windows, start their heating sys-
TENS and begin to breathe dry air.
This dry air removes the mois-
ture from the body by evaporation
causing chilly sensation which in
turn makes 1t necessary to keep
the home too warm in order to
feel comfortable. This condition
undu1y dries the mucous men,
brane OF thenose and the upper re-
spiratory passage, thus setting the
scene for the entrance of common
cold germs. When there Is suffi-
cient moisture in the air, it be-
comes possible to be comfortable
at lower temperatures, because the
chilliness due to evaporation Is not
present.
Correct temperature for health
and comfort should be from sew
enty to seventy-two degrees with
forty to forty-five per cent relative

Washington, D. c. September 81
The principal question which is being
asked in political circles is: What does
the result of the Maine election mean2'
1t is an old saying, as Maine goes
SO goes the Union
The democrats are jubilant because
they say that it means that Roosevelt
will carry Maine and a lot Of other
republican states Republican man
ayers are downhearted, but are try
ing their best to prove to themselves
or to others that the Maine election
means nothing of the sort
The election u governor in Maine
has always been held in September,
because by the time November comes
around good deal Of the state is usu-
ally showed in and it is difficult for
the voters to get to the polls.
Maine elected a democratic gov
ernor and three democratic congress
men out Of four, at the election or
September IL. Maine being the oldest
prohibition state, having gone dry
way back in the 1905, good many
commentators interpret the democratic
success as meaning that the people of
Maine have tired of prohibition. But IN
answer to that the drys point out that
the only republican congressman elect

LINCOLN LOSES TO FLATHEAD.

Last Saturday the Lincoln County
High School boys lost the football game
to Kalispell by score of 1870. Those
who accompanied the team were
pleased with the way they held a team
which outweighed and out-numbered
them in reserve strength. The team
fought hard and gave the best they
had and that is real football. The 10
cal boys showed superiority in tack
ling but were bit ragged in their
blocking although this weeks prac-
tice will remedy that weakness.
The team this year is green, built
around a nucleus of two lettermen.
They have much to learn and accord
ing to the coach their stock is ris-
ing fast and should reach its high
est point by the time it plays Libby
at Libby. They next game is October
9th with Whitefish at Whitefish.

THE COST OF LIVING.

The cost of living has been steadily
declining in the United States for ten
years. Today it is nearer to what it was
before the war than it has reached
since 1918, according to government
statistics which have just been is
sued.
The war sent the prices of all COM
modities up until in 1920, it cost the
average city dweller just about twice
as much in rents, fuel, food clothing
and the other essentials of life, 10
say nothing of luxuries, as it had cost
for the same things seven years before.
In ten years two-thirds of this in
creased cost has been Topped off, SO
that today the general average of liv-
ing costs is only about third create
than it was in 1913
The period Of high commodity costs
was, however, the period of our high
est national prosperity. From 1922 to
1929 prices maintained fairly even
level of about 70 percent more. than in
1913. Everybody was busy everybody
was earning more money than we had
ever earned before, more goods were
being produced and sold at profitable
prices than ever before, and the peo-
pie Of the United States We're in a
happy and contented frame of mind
Then the sudden drop in commodity
prices began and we have had hard
times, business depression and unem-
ployment ever since.
1t seems to us that here is conclu-
sive PROOF that prosperity is depen-
dent upon high prices. All of the
statesmen, economists and financiers
of the world agree that is true. An in
tensive and widespread effort is being
made to find way of restoring and
increasing commodity prices. An in
ternational committee is to meet short
ly in Geneva to prepare the plans and
piobl all ioi WUiid-Wiue conference
of governments in the effort to find
some way to solve this problem. In the
meantime, the upward trend has be-
gun in many commodity lines, and the
whole outlook seems to be toward bet
ter prices, which means, in the long
run, the resumption Of production and
the restoration Of prosperity

THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY.

State Horticulturalist George t.
knight, at the meeting of cherry grow
ers Sunday, emphasized the Importance
OF passing laws to prevent the dumping
of products of other states in Mon
tana. During July and August, he said
over 272 railroad car loads of fruit
and vegetables were brought into this
state by truckers residing in other
states.
We believe he is right in saying
something should be done about this.
Just how it could be regulated it Is
hard to say, but it is subject to
which the next legislature could well
give a good deal of attention.
It is not only a question of com
peting with Montana farmers and
fruit growers, but also with the rail-
roads, which are paying very heavy
taxes and have some right 10 pro-
lection. Not only this but truck oper-
