Winter Feed For
Cattle In Valley

Indications that the valley will
feed more stock. cattle and sheep.
this winter than it has for a num-
Der of years. are being evidenced
according to B. A. Harrigan. agri-
cultural commissioner.
AT present there are more cattle
and sheep in the valley than are
usually found at this time of the
year and heavy shipments from
the Northwest states are expected
Due to the fact that large ac-
reage formerly devoted TO alfalfa
has been turned over to flax. there
is a tendency for lesSening of
feed in the valley which should
stimulate the price of hay. 1t is
not too late to plant oats to be
used as a supplemental feed, Har-

maintains. there is nothing the
women Of California cannot accom-
plish.
OF course no social program can
be devised that will meet with the
unanimous approval of all the
clubs in the state because of the
diversity Of the various organiza-
tions. she said. But the majority
OF women viii be absolutely solid
on certain subjects ana the diver

viii keep the organization from
running amok.

the speaker, are well informed

juniors to membership in the state
federation.
Local Clab Aims
Aims for the locai clubs were
suggested III studies OF the spend
ing of the people s tax money.
Women should determine whether
they are getting q good bargain,
value received, or even fair play
for the money they pay in taxes.
Civic protection, civic discipline and
civic development were the three
heads under which she grouped
subjects for possible study In
view of the fact that motion pic
lures had previously been stressed
in the afternoon s program, Miss
Seaman took occasion to state the
federation policy, which is to work
with producers and distributors to
secure q better sort of motion pic
ture, particularly for Saturday
showings to young children. The
state president declared herself as
to any attempt at legisla-
ting good taste into the public,
that the slow but
sure process OF education is the
more desirable way to handle the
problem
That every woman of the COM
munity has a right to belong TO the
s club if she needs it was
the concluding message of the
speaker, who sees in the closer

Future of Senator Bingham

From the Dsnbury News-Times.
The proposition is to nominatJ
United States Senator Hiram Bingham
for one Of the congressional places tw(
years hence. This seems to be part Of
a program by which the so-called Rel
publican Old Guard intends to strivl
for the retention of its leadership.
A number of difficulties are in th(
way. Our Government from the beginI
ming has been set up so as to reuuir{
Senator or a Representative to hav{
his own district as condition of getI
ting into Congress.
Almost the situation is that a candiI
date must be able to carry his owr|
ward as condition of going the resi-
OF the way. This method puts pref
MUM upon parochial craftsmanship
The Senator looks after his own district
first.
In Great Britain. from which our in
stitution is derived. an opposite polic1
is pursued. A political leader trying
for Parliament may run from any con
stituency that wishes to receive HIM
This makes statesmen with larger ey(
for the needs of the country. Each
plan has its advantages.
Our system is jealous system. 1t Il
traditional that the candidate defeated
while holding higher Office must moi
seek a lower one This deprives th{
country of much valuable experienced
seeing that such defeats are alway{
locality defeats.
Under the British system former Cow
Smith would have become the leader
in his party, would have been seated
in Parliament and would have been arj
important official figure. No good
reason why Senator Bingham should
not run for Representative. He would

A 100 Per Cent Tax.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Milwaukee's Common Council has
distinguished itself by an Endorsement
Of the socialistic measure imposing a
100 per cent tax on all incomes over
$4,000.
That the Socialists in the Council
would favor such q measure IS readily
understandable. Action Of the two
non-partisan aldermen whose votes car
ried the proposal for Endorsement, how
ever, is not so easy to understand, de-
spite their frequent alliance with the
comrades In the Council.
1t Is hardly to be expected that the
Wisconsin Legislature would pass such
measure. Probably the action of the
Common Council Is merely propaganda.
It illustrates, however, the extreme to
which the fallacy of extortionate taxa
ton can be carried.
Imposing tax Of 100 per cent on
incomes over $4,000 would simply mean
that there wouldn't be any more in
comes In excess Of that figure. It Is
pleasant fancy, Of course, that men en-
1oy1ng large incomes would cheerfully
turn over the excess to the State to help
US over the crisis. Human nature,
however, does not operate that way.
The average human being would see to
1t that his salary was cut to a point
below the confiscatory tax figure, rath-
er than to donate it to the State in the
form Of taxes. There are other less
drastic ways by which he could escape
the tax.
In these days, of course, we are
bound to have lot Of wild theories and
schemes. And squeezing the last penny
out of those who still have earning
power is a favorite notion. However,
we trust the Legislature will continue
intelligently to attack the other side of
the problem, that Of cutting the waste
ful and unnecessary expenses to Q
point where . reasonable revenue viii
meet than.

perhaps with the assent, II not active
cooperation, of M. Venizelos, pro-
claimed q military dictatorship.
The nation got its news Of that dra-
matte development in ultra modern
fashion. The newspapers had been con-
f1scated. So Gen. Plastiras' airplanes
suddenly zoomed aloft and dropped
bulletins from the skies-literally bolts
from the blue-which informed the
populace that neither TSal-
daris nor Venizelos had carried the
election. Instead the election results"
took the form of a manifesto In which
Greece learned that until further notice
Hellenic destinies will be nodded by a
dictatorship, with Nicholas
Plastiras. dethroner of monarchs, at
its head.
It was determined last night at a
presidential palace conference between
M. Venizelos. M. Tsaldaris, Gen. Plas-
tiras and Gen. Othoneos, who pre-
olOCQ ONCl tllC COul l.IIldl tldl WHICH or
dered the execution of King Constan-
tines ministers, that the dictatorship
should continue until at least March
81. Then Parliament will be convened
The situation would thus seem to be
evolving toward the restoration Of con-
stitutional government; but If Gen.
Plastiras and the armed forces retain
command, it can only be government
that definitely bars the Gluecksburg
monarchy or any other royalist regime
from Athens.
Current events supply yet another
colorful chapter In the kaleidoscope
career Of Greece's grand old man, Eleu,
therios Venizelos. whom President VIII
son at Paris termed the foremost
statesman in Europe and under whose
wise direction postwar Greece has
fought her way through many vicissi-
tudes. His ultimate retention in office
would be welcomed in regions far re-
moved from the Acropolis.

lie Petit Marseillais, Marseilles. -
One Of the most remarkable cases
yet aired before the local civil
court is that relating to a certain An
tonic Magliatti, who, 1t has been es-
tabl1Shed, owns two houses in this city.
The detachment Of police engaged in
the suppression of public begging ar
rested Magliattf yesterday in the Rue
Puvls-de-Chavannes, where he was sta
toned with his hand extended for aims.
AL ul'coliedtloN promptly mace INTO
all his affairs disclosed that he was
the owner Of two pieces of improved
real estate, with present value of not
less than 100000 francs (s3,92O).
Remarkable as this development was,
1t scarcely equaled in its sensational
qualities the excuse given by Magliatti
for exercising the simulations Of pow
erty. He needed the money to pay his
taxes! The money he infrequently re-
ceived for rentals was all required
either to support his own wretched ex-
iStence and that of his family, or for
immediate repairs to the premises.
The quaintness of this apology has
so startled the commissioners that they
are still meditating what to do with
Magliatti; whether, in fact, he should
be exonerated or penalized There ap-
pears to be no little philosophy in his
methods.

Greece Under Dictatorship.

Dictatorship in Europe is on the
march. Yesterday, twenty-four hours
after Adolf Hitler intrenched hipself
as autocrat of Germany, Greece came
under military dictatorship pro-
claimed by Gen. Nicholas Plastiras, or
ganizer of the army coup d'etat which
overthrow King Constantine and exc
cuted five of his ministers in 1922.
The rule of the bayonet and ma
chine gun has been established at
Athens avowedly on the ruins of demo-
cratic government, just as the 'Nazi''
dictatorship at Berlin is. Gen. Plas-
tiras' manifesto declares that two cleo
lions in five months proved that the
parliamentary regime is disadvantageous
to Greece, since it failed to establish
stable government. The parallel to
Germany is thus complete, for the Hit
lerites are about to abolish the Reich
stag on the ground that the July and
November elections of 1882 did moth
ing to stabilize political conditions.
Having in this weeks elections estab-
lished their political supremacy, Hitler
and his Nationalist allies now propose
to scrap all remaining vestiges OF par
iiamentarism, in the style of Mussolini.
The Greek dictorship differs from its
Teutonic counterpart in one notable re-
spect. Its primary purpose is to pre-
vent return of the monarchy. The
Hitler dictatorship gives plenty OF In
dication that its object Is to restore
the monarchy. The Greeks, like the
Germans, held national election on
March S. To the surprise of the coun-
try, it resulted in substantial victory
for the Royalist party led by former
Premier Panayoti Tsaldaris and the de-
feat of the government party captaned
by the venerable and renowned Premier
Eleutherios Venizelos Thereupon Gen.
Plastiras, obviously In pursuance OF
thorough understanding with army,
