resolution unanimously upholding the
basic tax rate on automobiles.
A new automobile costing $4,000
f. o. b. factory, is taxed $72 on the
basic rate of 2.4%. If that was cut
500 and the taxes generally on auto
mobiles cut likewise, it would greatly
hamper highway work and curtail
employment, also providing some tax
relief to those who need it the least.
During the two hours discussion on
the floor of the House, it was also
argued that if we do not create some
work for the unemployed by motor
vehicle taxes they will be fed through
the general property taxes.
Fighting for Income Tax.
The statutory state income tax was
favorably recommended out of the
committee on Taxes and Tax Laws,

the committee, as we'll as other men,
bers of the Legislature and interested
parties have been clamoring and
pressing so diligently and necessarily
for a public hearing on the bill,
which is H. F. 367, that members of
the committee decided to accede to
their wishes. At special committee
meeting Wednesday evening, it was
decided to have the public hearing
on this important revenue raising
measure Monday evening. Feb. goth,

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

No element of surprise or suspense
is involved in the verdict which the
League of Nations. broadcasts this
week in regard to the Japanese
Chinese conflict in Manchuria. All
the details have been known for days,
for they have been discussed time and
again by the League Council, by the
Assembly and by the special nineteen
power commission organized for the
purpose of looking into the matter.
In brief, the League announcement
will claim that Japan's military OPP
erations in Manchuria cannot be con-
sidered legitimate self-defense; that
the puppet state of Manchukuo should
not be recognized by member states,
and that Japanese armies must be
withdrawn from the contested terri
tory.
Japanese Defiance.
At a cost of about one million dol
lars diplomatic messages have been
wirelessed back and forth between
the Tokyo government and its ennis
saries in Geneva; instructions from
Tokyo based on reports and opinions
from Geneva, have been precise and
multitudinous, and the League dele
as to its attitude from hour to hour.
There has never been the slightest
indication of any wavering, any incon-
sistency in the Japanese negotiations.
There is none now.
Japan reiterates, finally and de-
cisively, that the League speaks in
vain, and completely rejects the find
! ings of the League. Japan will go on
and right now is beginning to unleash
her impatient troops for the big push
against Jehol and Mongolia.
All this Japan does because she
knows that there is no organization
capable of stopping her, no single
power anxious to ally itself with
China against Japanese aggression
To emphasize its utter disregard o.
the League, the Japanese government
has ceased all negotiations with tina
organization, and will most likely re
tire as a member; such withdrawal
| however, requires IWO years hUtISC
International Unrest.
In all fairness to Japan, it is con
ceded that her actions have some
measure of justification, for, by re
sorting to plain mathematics, any on
may calculate how soon the japanese
islands will reach the catastrophe
point of over-population. Space mus
be secured, somewhere. And as NJ
country shows any willingness t.
open its portals for Japanese immi
grafton; as it is impossible to Obtain
additional territory through peaceful
means, Japan knows at the presen
time only one way out of the diff
Guilty, and that is conquest of lam
needed for the expanding population
That fact, however, is not accepte,
in attenuation of militaristic policies
but it must be taken into considera
ton as a basic one.
Under the circumstances, a grea
deal of international nervousness ha
resulted, for there is no way of tellin
how far-reaching will be the ultimat

Mr.. Wolf was recently selected by
Mr. Farley as director of finance for

Mr.. Farley expects it to be just as

Hoover Back at Desk After Longest Vacation in

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. = Mem bers of Congress returned from the holiday recess today with the lead CTS hopeful that two major issues, legalizing beer and farm relief, will be disposed of before the calendar page is turned to February.
 Approval or disapproval by Presi- dent Hoover will be a factor in determining whether special ses- sion will be called after March 4.
 To Speed Up
 Democratic chieftains want to place both problems before the President as quickly as possible. Apparently rested by the longest vacation in several years, President Hoover returned to his desk today to resume work on problems which will fill the few remaining weeks of his administration.
 Farm Relief
 The House Agriculture Commit tee met today for final vote on the emergency plan designed to place millions of dollars in the pockets of farmers with favorable prospects the measure will be re- ported late today.
 A hearing on the constitutional ity of the beer bill will be held by the Senate Judiciary Committee this week.

BOND MARKET

 NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The bond market was pulled out of a state of almost complete demoralization in June of 1892, and ended the year at levels well above it's be- ginning
 In the aggregate, bonds slid backward substantially in the last three months of 1892, but there has been marked contrast be- tween the action of the gilt-edged issues, and the more speculative groups.
 With money rates sinking to. ex- tremely low levels call money having it's most protracted period at per cent since 1904Eit was small wonder that the very high est grade issues ended the year at levels above even those of 1929, when the country was so engrossed with stocks. But the more specula- tive groups reacted rather sub- stantially after September, evident ly reflecting the feeling that cor porate congratulations here and there would still be needed to re- duce unWieldy debt structures.

BANKER SEES MORE TROUBLE

Initiation Proposals May Be Chief Worries of Na-
 ton in l033
By FRANK A. VANDERBILT Former President, National City
 Rank

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-It obvious ly is difficult, in limited space, to make adequate comment on 2 years events when those events present such complexities as do the economic and financial affairs of 1882.
 Rather than undertake such a feat of condensation prefer to ac- cept the dangerous role of fore caster, because I can more easily put such forecasting within those limits.
 I will predict that the coming year will not be free from econ omic worries. Some of those wor- ries will be concerned with the social and fina cial conditions which will exist, but in far greater measure will worries be aroused by legislative and individual efforts to find remedies.
 Lockout for Radicalism
 We now know fairly well the ex- tent and character of this depres- sion. We will be most fearful, how ever, ito fly to evils we know not of," which will be typified by novel, radical and ill-considered plans designed to cure existing diff ficulties.
 The immediate outlook for busi- ness in 1883 is unhappy on two counts. There is at present shock ingly little business and what there is of it is being done on a distress ingly small margin of profit.
 There is solid ground for opti- mism, however, in the fact that there has been the most drastic pruning of overhead that we have known in two generations, with the
