Complaining this thrust from tho

General su's chief lieutenant.

Price-Pe gging Scheme
Proposed by HalvOfsOn
North Dakota Democrat Would
Put Excise Tax on All
Purchases Of Wheat

Minot, N. D., Nov. 2.-(P)-A pro-
posal for farm relief, in which an ex-
else tax to be paid by the purchaser
would be made effective to peg the
price of wheat to fair figure, Is ad-
vanced by Attorney Halvor L. Halvor-
son of Minot, Democrat.
For example, under Halvorson's
proposal, if the price of wheat was SO
cents, and the fair" price set at 81
an excise tax of so cents for every
bushel grown or imported into the
United States, would be levied. The
purchaser either could pay the tax
to the government, or could pay 81
per bushel to the seller, and Halvor-
son believes the purchaser would pre-
fer to do the latter.
In explanation of this plan, Attor-
ney Halvorson says:
Il believe the Democratic party, II
placed In power nationally, will enact
simple revenue measure affecting
let us say. wheat and cotton, the two
barometers, providing for an excise
tax on every bushel of wheat sold in
the United States, either grown in
the United States or imported, in such
sum as the purchase price shall be
less than a fair price. say 81 per BUSH
ell, to be recovered into the treasury
of the United States, as other excise
taxes are collected.
No New Machinery
"This would entail no new machin-
cry, no going into business on the part
of the government, through boards or
bureaus, and no added expense. The
grain dealer OF miller, If he purchas-
ed bushel of wheat for consumption
in the United States from the farmer
for IS. cents a bushel, would have to
remit rs cents to the government, the
same as the theater manager, who
sells a theater ticket, now RENTS the
tax in that regard. Cotton would be
similarly handled.
ut is my opinion that such law
would Immediately peg the price at
the figure mentioned in the law. but
If it did not, it would enrich the trea-
sury of the United States. The fair
price provided could be fixed or it
could be based upon the average COM
modify index, whichever congress
might believe the most equitable.
Such burdens as would 60 with the
pegging of cotton and wheat would
be spread over the entire consuming
public, and since there is no appre-
ciable difference in the price Of bread
now when wheat Is IS cents bushel
as compared with wheat at 81 BUSH
ell. no great hardship would be felt by
the general public.
Plan. Is Scientific
This method of rehabilitating
agriculture is scientific, constitutional
and inexpensive from governmental
standpoint. It makes the tariff effec-
tive. It will build a purchasing pow
err where business and industry must
look for that power If they are to
themselves be rehabilitated or survive
It would be the application of good
common sense to the present situa-
ton. And I believe the promise made
in the Democratic platform of aiding
agriculture would be carried out, II
that party is put in power Nov. 8, and

Boobies SUCCEED IN

OF LONDON JOBLESS
More Than 100 Seriously lnjur.
ed in Four Outbursts BY
Unemployed

London, Nov. 2.-(P)-The pre-
cincts Of historic Parliament Square
were in the hands Of London police
Wednesday after a mass attack by
thousands of jobless had precipitated
the bloodiest of four recent riots.
The disorders began at dusk in the
heart of the capital and quiet was
not completely restored until nearly
midnight. Scores suffered minor in
juries.
Thus was brought to climax q
series of disturbances that began in
a march on parliament to protest
against the governments application
OF the dole system.
The first disorder came Oct. 81
when parliament reconvened. The
national hunger armys" arrival in
London last Thursday was the signal
for the second, and the third came
Sunday night in Trafalgar Square
when rush was made for Bucking-
ham Palace, the residence of the
king.
All told, the seriously injured in
these four outburStS have numbered
more than 100, including Is taken to
hospitals Tuesday night and released
after treatment.
Despite Leaders Arrest
Despite the arrest Tuesday of W.
A. L. Harrington, the Communist
leader of the hunger army" who
was to have led deputation toward
parliament, the jobless marshaled
their strength Tuesday night as they
had threatened.
And. likewise, the police responded
with strong-arm methods. The po-
lice won in q series of battles that
ragged along Victoria Embankment
Pail Mall. the Strand, Trafalgar
Square and Whitehall.
The police got the jump on the
demonstrators when the jobless drift
ed toward Parliament Square in
small groups from many directions
just after dark. Their thousands
were augmented by thrill-seeking
spectators.
BY 8 p. m. the huge press of spec
tatorS had Overlooked into the streets
and pushed near the massive iron
gates leading into parliament. At
that point mounted police converged
toward parliament building from
three directions.
There were boos and cat-calls as
the Boobies on foot pushed back the
throngs into Whitehall toward Ira
falgar Square and away from the
mouse OF commons. One. charge was
made at the Cenotaph, Britain's most
sacred monument. when the crowd
attempted to grab up wreaths.
Resistance Accelerates
The steady retreat continued, un.
til the throngs were backed into
Trafalgar Square, tempers mounting
IN the process. Gradually there arose
resistance, and within half an hour
bitter street battle was In full
swing. with mounted police backing
up foot officers In the front line
against the demonstrators.
The police advanced into q bar
rage OF bricks, stones and lumps OF
coal. There was much window

Ing out Of Charing Cross. Isolated
instances Of looting occurred.
The mounted police finally turned
the tide, breaking the throng up into
small groups, then dispensing each
one, until at midnight an was quiet
IN the heart Of London.
Meanwhile Harrington remained
IN custody, and was Joined In I'M 81

charge against him was "attemptine
