raisers of other crops to be included in
its benefits. Accompanying this pres
sure was the threat, direct or tacit, TO
oppose the bill unless dairy products
potatoes, rice, peanuts and other crops
are included. One crop, rice, has been
added, presumably to guarantee for the
bill sufficient number of votes in Con-
gress to pass it.
The outstanding quality of the at
mosphere in which the bill is pressed
is recognition of the distress of agri-
culture, coupled with recognition of the
effect OF depressed farming on the coun-
trys whole business structure. This
condition Is universally admitted, uni
versally dep,ored. AS a result there is
spirit OF we must do something. 3"
This spirit is shared by some heads
OF manufacturing industries. There is
more pressure for this bill BY business
interests than for any other farm bill
ever considered. Their theory is that
the depression is a vicious circle, and
that 1t may be broken by deliberately
putting into the pockets of farmers an
increased purchasing power. which.
when spent by the farmers. NAV start
the business spiral upward. A metaphor
frequently used by business advocates
OF the measure IS that the machinery
OF business is halted on dead center !"
From this it is argued that some hun
dredS OF millions of dollars added tn
the purchasing power of farmers NAV
act as a primer" to start the whole
national mechanism of business going
again.

HORNER BECOMES
ILLINOIS GOVERNOR
Former Probate Judge Urges
State Sales Tax and Simpli-
fication of Government.
By the Associated Press.

SPRINGFIELD, H., January g.
Henry Horner became Governor az
Illinois today with plea for a common
'front.' in the war against economic un-
happiness and suffering"
In his inaugural address the former
probate judge declared restoration of
economic prosperity to be the greatest
problem in the States history and urged
upon the Legislature immediate enact
ment of State sales tax, calling of a
constitutional convention to simplify
and improve government and reduction
of taxes.
Working together" he said, 81 be-
lieve we can place Illinois in the leader
ship of our American commemorative,
the home again of happy, contented,
prosperous and united citizenship"
Repeal of the State search and seizure
act, correlation Of the work of unem-
ployment relief agencies. reapporticn-
ment of the State, simplification of the
election system, regulation of banking
and protection of the public from in
vestment failures were some of the
measures he favors
All of them, he said, would work
either toward betterment of government
or the return of prosperity-and in
most cases both.
The States usual grand inaugural re-
ception was abandoned in the interests
of economy
Regarding taxation, Gov. Horner said
he believed a sales tax was essential,
but admonished the State officials to
neglect no opportunity for reducing ex-
penditures.

FARM PARITY BILL
FACING DIFFICULTY
Passage Likely Despite Mis-
givings, but TWo-thirds
Support Doubtful.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

A fsir summary of the debate In the
House on the emergency farm parity"
bill would say that the opponents have
the appearance of winning the argument,
in the sense of creating an atmosphere
in which the bill is on the defensive.
There was some truth in the asser-
ton made by Representative Kitchener
of Michigan. that Il have not talked
with member of the House, but who
has misgivings about the efficacy OF
this z cular bill"
VIII : this statement comes from an
opponent Ct the bill, it depicts accurate
ly the mood in which the bill is being
urged. Nevertheless, fair summary
of the parliamentary prospects of the
measure would say it is likely to pass
the House this week and to pass the
Senate whenever the latter body con-
siders it. 1t is likely to pass, however
only by majorities. 1t will hardly have
in either branch the two-thirds support
which would be necessary to enact the
bill over veto by the President in the
event that Mr.. Hoover should disap-
prove It.
If the bill should come to end as
respects the present session. in a veto
by the President and failure of the
bills supporters to overcome the Veto
it is assumed the Democrats will again
press it in the special session of the
new Congress which it is now taken for
granted must be called soon after
March 4. Since the new Congress will
be heavily Democratic, since this bill
is Democratic party measure, and
since farm relief in this general spirit
was promised by Mr.. Roosevelt during
the campaign, it is widely accepted
that the measure will be enacted during
the Spring.
Subject to Qualifications.
While all this remains the prospect
as of today, it is subject to qualification.
The advocates of the measure are in
creasingly disturbed by difficulties and
objections, which have emerged as the
bill has come under the scrutiny of
debate and of opposition from interests
adversely affected. Also, the present
form OF the bill, after changes through
which it has gone, is not identical with
the form IN which Mr.. Roosevelt and
other early supporters originally en-
dorsed it. 1t is possible the measure
may be materially modified, or even
that some other form of farm relief NAV
be brought forward to fulfill the deter
mlnat1on OF the Democrats to do some
thing about the farm situation.
The bill, described roughly, takes the
1914 pre-war prices of farm crops as
a base and as an aspiration 1t under
takes to insure these prices to raisers
of five crops to the extent that these
crops are sold in America, which is
estimated at about 10 per cent of the
total crops This is accomplished by
laying a tax on the American pur-
chasers. the millers of wheat, the spin
ners of cotton and the other process
Sors." The tax thus raised is to be
paid by the Government to farmers
raising these crops. The subsidy is only
paid to farmers who reduce their acre
age by 20 per cent
The bill in its original form applied
to wheat, cotton, tobacco and hogs
One of the consequences of the intro
duction of the bill was pressure from

Fire Chiefs Strategy
Wards Off Blast
Of Gasoline Car
POurs Water Into Tank,
Cutting Off Flow of Fuel
in Leaky Valve.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY. January because
Fire Chief Michael Mahoney knew
water is heavier than gasoline, a
threatening oil blaze in the fashionable
country club apartment district here
was extinguished with slight loss today.
A railway tank car containing $4,000
gallons of gasoline was enveloped in
flames after two garage workers started
draining the contents into a storage
tank The valve at the bottom of the
car struck, allowing gasoline to flow
along the ground to embers of a fire
started by night Waterman.
Fire spread along the tricklc of gaso-
line. Chemicals and hoses failed to
halt the blaze.
Then the chief arrived and noticed
the manhole at the top of the tank car
was open. He instructed firemen to
climb atop the nearby garage and aim
about $50 gallons Of water from their
hose into the hole.
The water soon sank below the gaso-
line in the tank and water instead of
gasoline sprayed from the defective
valve. The gasoline previously freed
soon burned out.
Then the valve was closed Damage
was estimated by Chief Mahoney as ap-
proXimately $1,000.

if the appropriations vital to them are
reduced or eliminated.
Thus, for example, the ex-service
men constitute very powerful political
force. So Congress and the President
elect will find they have to make a
choice between political groups, and
that is why it was a matter of great
surprise here to find the Democratic
leaders coming back from their confer
ence with Mr. Roosevelt with a plan to
tax people with small income. This has
been advocated as logical step by stu
dents of taxation, but it has been vigor-
ously opposed as bad politics by mem
bers of Congress for a decade.
Within the next 10 days the Demo-
Gratis will be compelled to come to some
agreement among themselves on their
tax plan, for the Nation now waits upon
the Democrats to balance the budget
and cut it down, as they promised in
the last election.
