POLICE, RIOT
GUNS GUARD
CAPITOL
Expected March by 400 Reds
Fails to Occur; Visitors
Carefully Scanned

Fears of a Communist in
vasion of the Capitol Grounds
were apparently dissipated
this afternoon when the heavy
guard about the Capitol Build
ing had failed to discover any
trace of the radicals, and in
vestigation at their two pro-
jected meeting places showed
both deserted.
The announced plans for the
demonstration had caused consid-
cradle alarm, since it was expect
ed that a Communist delegation
Gof some 400 would make an at
tempt to present a petition to the
Supreme Court.
Expected Court Decision
The occasion for the demonstra-
tion was the expectation that the
court would hand down today a
decision in the case of eight Ala
bama colored boys sentenced to
death by State courts for alleged
attacks on two white girls.
The Communists, asserting that
the boys were framed" intended
to demand that the Supreme
Court order their release.
Never has the high court been
more carefully guarded than to-
day. More than 100 Capitol and
city police were on duty, under
direction OF Inspector Albert
Headley, Capt. S. ]. Gnash and
the House sergeant-at-arms.
All Visitors Watched
Agents of the Department of
Justice scanned those who passed
the Supreme Court door. Riot
guns, tear gas bombs and other
arms were furnished the police.
Those who entered the court
room were not permitted to carry
any articles inside.
However, the Communists did
not show up, nor were they visi-

SENATE PUTS
UP TAX ON
INCOMES
Votes 86 to 3 to Restore High
Levies of 1922; Mills Plea
For Sales Tax Heard

In a desperate effort to OBJ
tain money with which to bal
ance the budget, the Senate
today wrote the 1922 income
tax rates into the billion
dollar revenue bill.
These rates, beginning at per
cent on the first $4,000. 8 per
cent on the second $4,000, and
rising to a maximum Of SIS per
cent on surtaxes. are expected to
bring $225. 100000 in revenue.
Sponsored by Senator Connally
CD of Texas, the high income
tax rates were adopted by q
vote of Sc to 8.
Mills For Sales Tar
Two Republicans and one Dem
ocrat voted against the increased
rates. The Republicans were
Hatfield of West Virginia and
Howell of Nebraska. The Demo
crat was Bailey of North Car
olina.
The Administration threw its
full influence behind a moderate
manufacturers sales tax today
when Secretary of the Treasury
Mills recommended adoption Of
the Walsh sales tax plan as
means of balancing the budget.
Mills told the Senate Finance
Committee the modest. broadly
distributed production excise tax
was the Administrators first
choice for raising enough money
to balance Uncle Sans books. He
set the tax bill deficit at $685.
600, 900.
Would Raise Gas Tax
In the event the sales tax is
rejected, Mills recommended an
increased gasoline tax to bring in

tions under the theater tax from
As to 10 cents to bring in $685.
OOO, 900 more, and the 1922 in
come tax rates to raise another
$4,000, 600. This alternate plan
would bring in $275, 5,O0O,O 900.
Senator Couzens (R.) of Michi-
gan told the Senate that Mills
had recommended the sales tax
strongly, but gave no estimates as
to what revenue might be eX-
pected from it,"
Couzens said the Secretary did
not suggest what taxes might be
eliminated if the sales tax were
adopted, with its 1895, ,0OO, 900 of
expected revenue, since only $685.
100000 must be raised to balance
the budget.
Mills appeared before the Senate
committee following a conference
at the White House last night be-
tween the President, his financial
advisers, and all the Democratic
members of the Senate Finance
and Economy committees.
Oppose Sales Tax
At the conference, the Demo
Gratis announced their opposition
to the sales tax, but agreed to
adopt any other recommended
tions of the Treasury for raising
sufficient revenue to balance the
budget.
Mills told the committee:
Assuming that the expendi-
ture figures are reduced below
those submitted in the budget
message by not less than $780,
100000, $2S5, 100000 of addi.
tiOnal revenue is needed today i.
to balance the budget. In order
to bridge this gap, i unquah.
fiedly recommend turning to
the manufacturers excise tax
along the lines of Senator
\ Walsh's pending amendment.
'While the Treasury Depart
ment has hitherto refrained
from recommending this tax,
had occasion to give It close
study, and I unhesitatingly in-
dOrSe it today as the most ef-
fective means of balancing the
budget, and giving assurance Of

By GEORGE r. HOLMES

In an atmosphere reminis-

Hoover went before the Sem
ate in person today with a
plea for the speedy enactment
of a budget-balancing tax bill
and the adoption of economy
measures.
Mr.. Hoover presented a
three-point program:

2. Stabilize the dollar.
3. Enact unemployment re-

bill the President said, has re-

But, he added, the country has
the resources and the ability to
weather the crisis, and he pre-
dicted that it will be weathered.
Sales Tax Stand Surprise
The President said he was not
in favor of general sales tax,
which brought a few gaSpS Of
surprise from the crowded floors,
as earlier Mr.. Hoover had spoken
favorably of it to a number of
Senators.
He did, however, declare that
there was merit in the Walsh
plan, which would impose a linn
tied sales tax of 14 per cent.
He said:
81 have not and do not favor
a general sales tax, but in or.

Excerpts from President Hoo
Der'S message to the Senate todG1
follotU:
The ong-continued delays in
the passage of legislation pro-
viding for such reduction in
expenses and such addition to
revenues as would balance the
budget, together with proposals
of projects which would greatly
increase governmental expendi-
lures, have given rise to doubt
and anxiety as to the ability of
our Government to meet it's re-
sponsibilitieS.
The time has come when we
must all make sacrifice of some
parts of our particular views
and bring these dangers and de-
generations to halt by expedi-
tious action.
It is essential that when we
ask our citizens to undertake
the burdens of increased taxa
ton, We must give to them evi-
dence OF reduction of every ex-
pe11diture not absolutely vital
to the immediate conduct of
the Government.
/ have not and do not favor
a general sales tax. 1t has not
been proposed by the Treasury.
This is not, however, to be con-
fused with an extension of the
special manufacturers excise
tax with exemptions of food
and clothing.
This is an entirely different
tax from a so-called sales tax
and cannot be pyramided. Even
this general manufacturers ex-
else tax has not been proposed
by the Treasury, although at
the time such a tax was unani-
mously recommended by the
Ways and Means Committee,
representing both political par
ties and their leaders in the
House of Representatives.
The Secretary of the Treas
ury accepted it in the hope
that immediate passage of the
bill would result.

Bismarck, N. D.,
February is, 1892.
Editor, Tribune:
Recently your newspaper carried an
Associated Press dispatch from Lem
mon, S. D.. telling of an alleged acct
dent in which was involved. The
facts regarding this matter have been
given In a statement by Wallace E.
Peterson, chief of police at Lennon
and need not be repeated here ex-
cept to point out that the news story
was so grossly exaggerated as TO be
untrue.
After reading the story as sent out
from Lennon, it is not hard to fig
ure out why aviation is being held
back in our country, why more people
do not use it and why more young
people do not learn it.
Only thoce who follow it know it's un-
comparable value, which has no COM
petitor to accomplish it's useful pur-
poses and stands in class by Itself
in reaching these accomplishments.
1t is hard for an airplane pilot to un-
derstand why airplanes are so quick
ly condemned. Why so many people
are so frightened, others are SO
skeptical, when an automobile can
and does have so many accidents.
Some people asked my wife if she
was going to make her husband quit
flying. after reading about the acct
dent at Lennon. The answer from
both OF us, is, if that were necessary
then all men who have had accidents
with their automobiles should also be
requested to refrain from driving any
more. and l am sure there would be
a large percent of our citizens in
the United States who would not be
driving an automobile.
I drive both the automobile and
the airplane and I can honestly say
that I prefer the airplane in many
more ways than one. My friends will

Flying has been hard game, espe-

planes were slow and would not get
off the ground unless the air was
good. There were no flying fields, no
factories or factory branches all over
the country to furnish repairs when
they were needed. You know how
helpless you are when you are q long

aviators stayed with it. Why? Be-

APPROVES ACTION OF COMMITS
SIONERS
Editor, Tribune:

Editor, Tribune:
The action which was taken during
the recent convention held by our
county commissioners relative to
state-owned lands. deserves the APP
prevail of every citizen of our state.
The commissioners recommended that
lands taken over by the state by fore
closure be rented for cash and only
for hay and pasturage purposes.
They also recommended that money
received through this rental should be
turned over to the counties in which
said lands are situated. This prece-
dure would kill two birds with one
stone. It would prevent these lands
being cropped and it would aid the
farmers owning lands in counties
wherein state lands are located AS
it is, state lands are tax free and pay
nothing toward the general upkeep
Of the county. They are big burden
to real land owners who must pay
higher taxes to make up for the loss
accrued from no tax being paid by
them.
Even small rental would bring in
enough to make up for this loss. More
and more farmers are being foreclos-
ed upon. Scarcely any paper in the
state but has its share Of these fore
closures. 1t is well to take time by
the forelock and arrange to take care
Of this additional burden before 1t
descends upon the people. The ac-
ton Of the commissioners deserves
more than passing notice.
Personally, would favor law de-
manding the early sale Of all such
lands. Not for fancy price but just
sufficient to recompense the state
for the amount it has against them.
I would rather see well populated
community than one in which farm
after farm lies uncared for and va
cant. But, II we cannot have this,
then by all means let us compel the
state to pay something toward the
upk4ep Of the counties In which these
lands are situated.

Perhaps past administrations have

ture Is concerned. Both business and
labor know what they want and they
demand 1t. They do not change their
minds with every wind that blows or

suade them. If they did, their voices
would be as two frogs croaking in the
