WOMAN FREED
Admitted Slayer Of Hus-

M. NJ. Redden, county attorney,
has given the board the opinion
that the new law provides for the
elimination of penalties for fail
ure to list property. as well as the
interest and penalties on delIn-
quent taxes and tax certificates.
when settlement is made as pro
vided by the law and the county
boards resolution.
T. L. Durham. chairman of the
board. pointed out that another
bill is pending in the Legislature
that would eliminate 1881 taxes
from the relief law Just passed,
and urged delinquent taxpayers
to make settlement at once IN or
der to receive all the benefits OF
the act now in force.
Each Of the notes given in set.
Element Of delinquent taxes Will
be in the amount of one-fifth OF
the total of delinquent taxes due,
less all accumulated interest and
penalties, and will bear 6 per cent
interest. AS previously stated, =
note that is paid before the ex-
piration of the year for which it
is given. will be subject to 10 per
cent discount. Thus it will be seen
that taxpayer who pays his 1882
taxes in cash and pays each Of the
five notes before maturity, Will
effect saving of 10 per cent on
taxes due for each year. and IN
addition will save all penalties
and interest accumulated on back
taxes.
County officials admitted that
the new law will work trench
dous hardship on them in their Of
forts to operate the county gov
eminent unless taxpayers enter
into the spirit of the tax relief
law and comply with its provisions
promptly by paying 1882 taxes in

PRESIDENT TO
STUDY LABOR
BILL SUNDAY
May Use "Big Stick" To
Force Shay Week
Legislation
CONTROVERSY Is
RAISED IN HOUSE
By THOMAS l.. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. April 8. (UP)
President RooSevclt's support APP
peared assured today for legisla-
ton to reduce working hours
along lines Of the Black five day
week. siX-hour day bill which has
passed the senate.
The chief executive, whose po-
sition on the bill has been in
doubt. has delegated Secretary OF
Labor Frances Perkins and Sccre-
tary Of Commerce Daniel c.
Roper TO cooperate with him IN
study of the measure over the
weekend.
Unless the president swings his
"big stick" behind the legislation
it became evident that it will fac"
long delay. 1t may actually perish
of inaction and controversy which
has developed already in the house
over the almost revolutionary
proposal.
As the measure was transferred
to the house. its senate sponsor,
Hugo Black. DEM, Ala. intro
duced a supplementary bill which
would apply the siX-hour day to
EMPLOYEES of railroads, steamships,
and airplanes. They were exempt
cd from the bill which the senate
passed Thursday by vote of 30
! to 30.
The president is expected to in
dictate his desires on the leglSla"
ton early next week to Speaker
of the House Henry T. Raincy,
The chief executive has been rep
resented as favoring the suhsti-
| tute Of Senate Majority Leader
Joseph T. Robinson, rejected by
the senate. This bill called for a
! 36-hour week, with no restriction
upon the number of days. but
with limit of eight hours in any
one day.
! Rainey said yesterday that the
! bill would not be considered until
after the entire emergency pro-
gram submitted by President
Roosevelt has been acted upon:
| The president. Of course, could
push it forward on the program.
The measure ran into contro-
vcrsy at the outset yesterday ovcc
a so-called tariff feature which It's
house sponsors desire to insert.
The senate defeated such an
amendment. The argument is that
the bill without this restriction
would handicap American fac
tories in competition with foreign
factories.
Black, stoutly opposing this re,
striction, said at would kill the
bill"
He explained that such a re-
striction against foreign nations
would interfere seriously with
President Roosevclt's plans to ne
gotiatc reciprocal tariff agree
mcnts. since it would create hos
tility.
