income and gasoline taxes to finance
the public works program is the pres
ent decision of the house ways and
means committee: with q majority
also planning provision for suspen-
sion of the new levies in event Of pro-
hibition repeal,
AS revealed Saturday in interviews
with committeeman, an impost on
corporate stock dividends also will be
effected toward financing the s., 300,-
100000 public construction employ
ment bond issue.
Anti-prohibition house members, in
their private discussions, have dwelt
much on President Roosevelt's We'd
nesday message to congress, In which
he advocated provision for abandon
ing the new taxes upon repeal of the
amendment and the Volstead act.
"The prohibition revenue laws
would then automatically 60 into ef-
feet" he pointed out, land yield
enough wholly to eliminate these
temporary Unemployment taxes"
May Nullify New Taxes
In view Of this, 1t appears likely
either that formidable COMPRESSION
al group will press for automatic
dropping of the taxes under such
conditions or to empower the admin

The sales tax has been thrust aside
and no effort will be made to write
that controversial form of taxation
into the measure.
A total Of 1920, 100000 annually is
needed to pay the costs Of the bond
issue which will be used to finance
q stupendous construction program to
create employment.
The committee was ready Saturday
to end public hearings and spend the
weekend In drafting the taxation
sections of the bill which, leaders
said, would be reported by Tuesday
at the latest for house action.
The revenue program agreed upon
by a majority Of the committee Of
Is Is the number one" program SUBJ
mitted by Lewis w. Douglas, director
Of the budget. It calls for an in
crease from the present four per cent
to six In the normal income tax rates
on net incomes of $4,000, and an in
crease from eight per cent to 10 on
higher incomes, estimated to return
$40 100000. These rates are now at
the wartime levels.

Grand Rapids, Mich. May 2o.-(R-
Death has written finis to a diplo-
matte career that took Thomas j. O..
Brien to Denmark, Japan, Italy and
won for him recognition for keen in
sight into the intricacies Of interna.
tional affairs.
He was 80 years old and died at his
home here yesterday afternoon afte,
a long illness.
O'Brien had to his credit the nego-
tiations conducted at Tokyo for more
than two years which ended in the
famous "gentlemens agreement" re-
garding Japanese immigration.
It was said by his contemporaries
that it was his keen foresight and
wisdom which restrained the Cali
fornia legislature from adopting re-
strictive alien land laws that might
have precipitated serious complica-
tions between the United States and
Japan.
He was also down in the records as
having first preached the project OF
American acquisition Of the Danish
West Indies although it was ten years
after his ministry at Copenhagen be-
fore the Virgin Islands became terri
tory Of the United States.
AS Ambassador to Italy, O'Brien ex-
tended effective good offices in paving
the way for peace between Italy and
Turkey between whom war had brok-
en- out few weeks before his arrival
in Rome in November, 1911.
Despite his record In promoting
peace, Mr.. O'Brien was . firm be-
lever In preparedness.
Disarmament Of nations Is an
idealistic dream" he once said. THE
United States can maintain her posi-
ton of power and dignity among the
nations only by establishing national
defenseS commensurate with those OF
other countries, or at least sufficient
for national security"
However, he always considered q
trans Pacific conflict as most unlike
~. If this country had nothing more
serious to worry about than war with
Japan, 1t would be more light-heart-
ed nation" he remarked on his eighty
fifth birthday.

MILK STRIKE CHIEF
SAYS FARMERS WILL
SELL own PRODUCTS
Asserts Wisconsin Dairymen
Will Set Up Scheme to
Thwart Trusts

Shiocton. Wis, May 20.-(P)-Wal-
ter M. Singler, president of the Wis
consin Cooperative Milk pool who was
missing In the closing days of the
milk strike, returned to his farm
home here Saturday. TO the AS
sociated Press he said:
THE farmers have learned a bet
te1 way than the strike" 3
Then he disclosed a plan of the
milk pool to set up its own food prod
uctS manufacturing plants and de-
velop distributing agency which will
make direct contact with city con-
sumers.
Singler said that since Tuesday,
when he vanished from Milwaukee
hotel, he had been travelling there
and there" meeting pool leaders and
interviewing officials of existing dis
tributing organizations which are dis
posed to act with farmers on CO.
operative basis. The pool does not
wish to destroy or boycott the bust
ness of established organizati o S
which will work in sympathy, he said.
Singler said that, since Tuesday, he
had been in Wisconsin all the time
except on one occasion, when losing
his way on a highway, he drove into
northern Michigan.
He would not discuss the settlement
Of the milk strike, saying he had not
studied the terms under which it had
been called off, nor had he spoken to
his committeeman who negotiated the
settlement with Governor A. G.
Schmedeman.
Learned Valuable Lesson
But we came out of the strike with
valuable lesson" he said.
I'VE learned that there is a better
way than the strike. We have found
out that the trusts have the inside
track, and that when their selfish
interests are endangered they can ap-
peal to government and invoke the
power of the state-national guards
men, deputies, even city police leave
their beats on the pavement to go out
to fight the farmers.
80 we have learned that, to pro-
tect our interests, we must control
the machinery which takes products
from our farms and delivers them to
city consumers.
Definite plans to deliver and to
take over such machinery on large
scale basis have been worked out.
We are not quite ready to disclose
the details Of those plans
Friday at Madison the farmers
staged a peaceful demonstration and
waited throughout the afternoon for
Singler, after being informed that he
was en- route there to address them
They dispersed late in the evening.
Speeches were given by other lead
ers and Gov. Schmedeman said he
would do everything in his power to
make the farmer happy and prosper
Gus.
Peace and quiet returned to the
strike areas Saturday as milk flowed
to markets.

DEFINITE ACTION BY
AMERICA URGED AT
GENEVA CONFERENCE
Swiss Leader Raised Question
Of Probable U. S. Stand
in Event of War

Geneva, May 2o.-tF-The question
Of what the United States will dc
when there Is threat of war, or when
there is war itself, was put before
the world disarmament conference
Saturday by DR.. Giuseppe Motta,
former president of Switzerland.
1.-THE truth is" he declared, that
there must be solidarity of all con-
tinents.
Il wish. I hope and I expect that
the United States will bring us the
liberating word"
DR.. Motto, after paying tribute to
President Roosevelt'S world message
as the delegates of Holland, Finland
and Denmark had done, said the con-
ference was anxiously awaiting to
know to what extent the United States
would participate In a consultative
pact which would reinforce the KEEL
logg Pact.
I'VE want to know" he said III
that great nation Is ready to take ap-
proprtate measures If In the event OF
q conflict, it becomes necessary to de-
fine the aggressor nation and consider
what measures would be suitable to
put an end to aggression.
Written In Fire
1T Is written In letters Of fire across
history that the solution of our diff
culties can be found only in solidar-
ity."
The conference desire to know AM
erican intentions. as voiced by DR..
Motta, was not satisfied.
The American delegation postponed
the presentation Of its views, and Nor
man H. Davis, American ambassador
at-large, spent the day at his hotel
preparing a speech to be delivered
early next week.
Disarmament hopes have risen with
an agreement appearing nearer a
reality.
The flow of optimism was attributed
first to President Roosevelt's practical
recommendations in his world mes
sage, then to the conciliatory speech
Of Chancellor Hitler before the reich

Needy Will Resume
Road Work Monday

Needy men on the Burleigh
county emergency relief list, who
have been on strike four days for
cash as we'll as merchandise slips,
will resume work Monday improv-
Ing roads, 1t was announced Sat-
urday by Sam J.I Killing, represent
tative of the county relief COM
mittee.
The strikers have decided to re-
sumo work under the same ar
rangements as prevailed before the
strike.
The emergency committee point
ed out to strike leaders that 1t

which furnishes the relief funds,
expressly forbids cash payments.
The men will be paid 40 cents
an hour in merchandise slips for
their work.
