While the governor has hinted that he favored some form of em- ergency taxation his statement to- day that he favored a form of sales tax" is the first definite pub lie utterance that this proposed tax is being worked out. That State Tax Commissioner William H. Dlodgett and Professor Fred R. Fairchild. of Yale, are at work on a scientific bill was also revealed by Governor Cross who took the stand that if the tax was enacted 1t would exclude food, clothing and the nec- essities of life. The governor fur ther declared that the tax would be emergency in character.
 In his statement the governor said he was prepared to pledge his unrequitting effort to a successful prosecution of the program if elected.
 ''The ability of society is al stake in this election" said Cover nor Cross Tt is not question of the outs trying to get in. During the two years that I have been Gov ernor have not linked partisan ship to any policy of mine. 1t Is destiny which decreed that the Democratic party to which I owe allegiance has been called upon to go forward with humane and pro- gressive legislation."

 Art Design EmbOdying Symbols of Both Orders

symbols of both organizations. The text expresses briefly the date of the presentation of the flag and the sincere thanks of the Veterans of Foreign Wars for the gift. The entire design Is in full color from the eagle rampant on shield at the top, to the seals of the four major branches of the nations defences, the army, navy, marine corp and coast guard, in lower horizontal panel and the Roman fasces.
 The central attraction Is a color copy of the famous bronze by Hen ry Herring, Pro Patria, which stands in front of the Indiana State War Memorial, at Indian apolis. It depicts a symbolical male figure with unfurled Ameri- can flag grasped in the right hand sheathed sword at girdle and the left hand raised in salute. Three small panels in the lower larger panel contains the names of the foreign countries where the Veterans of Foreign Wars fought for the flag, since the founding of the organization in 1899.
 The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is a great organiza- ton and is to be commended for it's unselfish patriotic custom of presenting Q flag annually to some worthy organization.

The Relief Bill.

President Hoover. commenting upon
the relief bill" which passed Congress
Saturday, expressed his appreciation for
the leadership in both political parties
which finally whipped the bill into a
sound measure. The country will have
cause also to be appreciative of these
efforts. The bill as it stands, soon to
become law when the President signs
1t, provides fund of 100000 900 which
may be loaned to the States which are
unable to finance relief within their own
borders. 1t also increases the field Of
operation for the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation. making it possible to loan
UP to $500, 600, 900 for reproductive
construction work Of public character
and further aid Is provided for agricul-
ture. With this measure in operation, as
the President pointed out. there should
be no danger whatever that any person
will suffer from hunger and cold in this
country.
Wisely the Congress, meeting the
views of the President, refrained from
including in the relief bill provisions
advocated by Speaker Garner and the
Democratic House, among them the
100000, 900 public charity or Govern
ment dole proposed IS substitute for
thet Government loans to States. 1t
elipinated entirely the 'porl barrel"
features Of the Garner bill, 10, and
Evening star., 1932-07-18

turned down the proposal that loans be
made to private individuals by the Gov
ernment agency. The President re-
ferred to that amendment especially as
"the provisions for the establishment
of a gigantic centralized banking busi-
ness" 1t was this proposal, known as
the Garner amendment. which brought
a sharp veto of the relief bill when 1t
was first sent to the White House more
than a week ago.
The relief bill is calculated to aid in
the reconstruction of business and in
the increase Of employment. The two
go hand in hand. The country is to
be congratulated that the Congress has
finally passed this measure. II 1t has
been unduly delayed the country will
know where to place the blame for that
delay.
