LAWS FOR PRIVILEGED CLASS

Editor AskOv American:
| believe as some of your CORE
spondents, that we have too many
game wardens. This however is not
a reflection on the game wardens, as
do not know any of them, but we
have too much game laws. Our game
laws, as most of our laws, are for the
benefit of the privileged class.
No fair minded man can deny that
Minnesota is in the clutches of
political machine, originated by, and
controlled by the privileged class.
We have evidence of it all through
the statute. The game laws of Mime
sofa, are too unfair to command the
respect of the people. and too cum
bersOme to be enforced correctly The
law to force people to take out a Ii
cense to raise fur bearing animals,
is an imposition of the rights of Amer
lean citizenship. 1t was put on the
statute to create jobs for some of the
silk stocking gang on our civil serv-
ice list.
That we need some game laws is
admitted, but, let it be simplified. and
made honest, and practical, and it
will be respected, and enforced. The
state should issue hunting licenses to
hunt only on state forests. and each
county. to issue hunting licenses to
hunt within its borders, and the Ii
cense fees to remain in the county
treasury, and each county to have its
own officer to see that the law is
enforced. That would do away with

IN TUCSON CAMP

TUCSON, Ariz., June 18. U.R)--
The Southern California bonus
army stayed over for repairs to-
day, planning to leave for Douglas

Com. R. w. Robertson said the
plan to march on to Washington
had not been affected by the sem

The army" was quick to catch
the slogan passed on by the vet
Grams already at Washington, and
many banners today bore the
legend: Until 1945.'
Many of the obsolete automobiles
that make up the caravan were in
need Of repair, and the portable
repair shop of the army" was
working full force.
The veterans continued to fare

Legion and other organizations,
and expressed their thanks for
food and clothing.
Robertson said all malcontentS

WACNER'S RELIEF
BILL DEBATED IN
SENATE HEARING

WASHINGTON. June 19. U.P)-
Urging greatly stimulated conStruc-
ton programs as prudent economy
Senator Wagner (Dem0 New York,
today opened debate on emergency
unemployment relief.
He spoke in behalf of the bill
drafted by himself and four other
senate Democrats, providing for a
S1,500,0 900 expansion of the .bor-
rowing power of the ReconstruS
ton Finance Corporation for the
financing of self -liquidating con-
Struction and a S500,000,000 bond
issue for public works already au-
thoriZed.
Wagner argued that his measure
makes direct attack on the diff
ficulties of the depression by actu-
ally initiating and financing a con>
struction program which must OF
necessity, create demand for COM
modities and thus help to check
price declines, stimulate trade and
industry and bring about a resump-
ton of employment" q
He estimated that the plan in
full operation would give employ
ment on a 80 hour week basis to
100000 men directly engaged in
construction, manufacture an q

same liquidation in expenditures
which individuals and private en-
terprises have already affected.
Taxes must come down and this
must result primarily from reduced
governmental expenditures, nation
al. state and municipal. That is
essential to the full recovery of
business.
THE President pointed out the
other day that in the 10 years end
ing with 1880, the federal govern
ment decreased its Indebtedness by
nearly 81 per cent, whereas the
municipalities increased their in
debtedness by nearly 60 per cent.
We must remember that municipal
tiles present the greatest tax prob<
lem-great as the others are-and
that work for tax reduction will be
effective largely in proportion as it
has specific and local objectives.
Turning to the situation in his
own city, Dawes said:
The press of Chicago is stating
our own tax problem aggressively
and clearly. Nothing will contri-
butte more to business recovery here
than its solution
Upon his arrival here at 9 a. m.
Dawes Immediately took up the di-
rection of his private affairs, going
to the Central Republic Bank g.
Trust Of which he is honorary
chairman of the board. He was
accompanied here from Washington
by Mrs. Dawes.
The former president, who
recently turned down the demand
from many state delegations at the
Republican convention to again be-
come the vice presidential candi-
date, broke into a familiar God
damn it" as a crowd of newspaper
men grabbed for copies of his state
ment, which were already typewrit-

CENTRAL MEXICO SHAKEN HARD
BY THREE VIOLENT 'QUAKES

Colima and one of the most beau
tiful cities on the Pacific slope of
Mexico. 1t has a population of
around $4,000.
Tecoman is a smaller town 81
miles west of Colima City.
One message from Colima City,
possibly exaggerated during the ex-
citment following the successive
earth shocks, referred to many
casualties" and said the damage
might prove as extensive as that
caused by the earthquake of June 8.
All telephone communication
with Colima City was interrupted.
Communication was established
with Guadalaj lara, which is in the
earthquake zone, and it was
learned no damage was suffered
there.
Some light shocks were felt as
far east as Vera Cruz but they
were without damage. They were
felt in the state of Vera Cruz.
The first shock put the seismo-
graph at the local observatory out
of commission and prevented regis
tration of several shocks which fol-
lowed. Four more shocks were
registered after the instruments
were put in order.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 18. U.P)
Reports received by Mackay Ra-
dio here today from the fishing
boat, Chicken of the Sea, in the
vicinity of the Mexican earthquake
said:
"At 8 o'clock this morning, off
Manzanillo, Mex, we felt terrific
shock and thought we had struck
something. We made for Manza-
milo where we found that a two
minute quake had struck the town.
adobe houses had collapsed,
railroad tracks were twisted and
there were large cracks in the
street."
Contact with the fishing vessel
was broken before it could be deter
mined if there were any casualties.

BAY CITY PAPER
LINKS EGAN TO
rum RUNNERS

SAN FRANCISCO, June IS. U.1
Evidence that Frank J. Egan,
discharged public defender, might
have been connected with a rum
running gang was disclosed by the
San Francisco News today.
Since Egan'S arrest on a charge
of numbering Mrs. Jessie Scott
Hughes, his 67-year-old friend and
benefactreSS, authorities have at
tempted to link him with liquor
and narcotic rings.
The San Francisco News carried
story today in which it claimed
to have found the first link def
initely connecting Egan with a
liquor racket"
In 1926 The News said, federal
authorities ordered the release of
a speedy rum boat to the former
public defender. Six months later,
the vessel was beached near Santa
Cruz after q chase by the coast
guard cutter "Gaviota." Agents
found l84 sacks of liquor aboard. L"
Egan, it was said, had paid a
fine levied against the boat because
1t had been running in San Fran
cisco bay without lights.
The News quoted "an informant"
as saying Egan had aided rum rum
ners in retaining legal counsel and
'interceded in various ways for re-
turn of the boat after seizures at
least three times 4"
Meanwhile counsel for Egan won
a point when Superior Judge Frank
II. Dunno ordered District Attor-
ney Matthew Brady to show cause
why the defense should not be per-
mitted to examine the asserted con-
fession Of Verne Doran.
The matter will be argued Mon
day, a short time before Egan and
Albert Tinnin, also named in the
confession, appear before Judge
Dunn to plead to the murder
charge.
Doran's alleged confession de-
clared that Egan had ordered Doran
and Tinnin to kill Mrs. Hughes.
Police made light of the threat of
Egan to make revelations that will
tear the lid off this town."

violent shocks, shook Central Mex

including the cities of Colima and
Tecoman.
One message from Colima said
no house within the city escaped
damage but no confirmation could
be obtained from any official
source.
Full force of the temblor was
felt only 345 kilometers from the
capital, according to the local OBJ
.servatory, which, however, was un-
able to give the direction.
Reports would indicate the earth

But the thousands of ragged vet

The bonus will not be paid by this

The senate killed the bill by the
overwhelming majority of 81 and

lid by voting A to 26 to table a
motion to reconsider.
The senate's opposition to the
bonus had been clearly indicated.
Yet the veterans had seen the meas

the senate too would capitulate
and they tried to impress the legis-
