fered by the committee itself. The
only amendment to be permitted will
be for a general manufacturers ex-
else tax. The bill will be rushed thru
as quickly as possible
BY refusing to prosecute Mooney
The $500, 100000 excise tax was
passed last year and was to expire
July /, 1881. The Committee recon-
mends that they be extended for one
year to June 30, 1885. This means
another $500, 100000 to be extracted
from the people in addition to the
1921 100000 taxes proposed.
To Protect Bondhoiders.
There would have been plenty Of
time to extend these taxes in the next
session.
However, it was said that Roose-
velt's advisors thought it best to eX-
tend these taxes in order to retain
the confidence OF the investors who
own. and who are expected to buy
government bonds. The money COL
lected will be used to pay off in
tsrest on federal bonds
With the extension Of the S5OO000,-
600 excise taxes, the people viii have
to pay additional taxes of from
s700OO000O to s800,O0O,O0O year;
s46000.Oo0 from increased taxes,
mainly on small incomes, and S92,-
100000 in gasoline taxes which fall
directly on the consumer. The brunt
of the S700.0o0.0 900 taxes provided for
in the present Roosevelt public works
bill will fail heaviest on the workers
and lower income sections of the
people.
The Public Works Bill now pro-
vides for taxes on gasoline and lower
incomes. The committee also sug-
gests that the dividend income be
liable to income taxes. At present,
dividend income is liable only to sur
tax levies.
The committee refused to raise the
taxes on the incomes of large cor
porations. They also did not consider
any increases in the surtaxes on large
incomes.

HOPKINS, FEDERAL
RELIEF HEAD, TO
CUT JOBLESS AID

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Harry l.
Hopkins, recent Roosevelt appointee
as Federal Emergency Relief admin
istrator in a statement yesterday gave
notice that the intention Of Roose-
welt in the so-called 500 million dollar
relief bill was not meant to aid the
unemployed. Taking away all pre-
tense that the funds we're meant for
relief, he said, Certainly it was not
the intent Of congress or the presi-
dent that the government is going to
hold the bag"
Estimating that is million are on
relief lists, Hopkins said, 1T Will not
be my business to perpetuate in the
United States a policy which viii keep
any such number on the relief rolls.
We will begin with the premise that
direct relief is bad thing
This is in line with the nation wide
relief cuts that have been instituted.
In New York thousands of families
are cut off relief and eyictions have
risen considerably. These reports
also come from other cities In its
place wholesale drafting Of unem-
ployed on forced labor projects is in
stituted
Originally the so-called $500, 1000
Wagner relief bill was divided in two
parts Half to be used for states in
need of the money for relief purposes.
The balance of $3.50 900 900 was con-
ditional, to be given to states only
if they can raise So to each dollar
given by the government.
According to Hopkins this is now
changed. Only the first $250,OO0, 600
will be given TO states on the basis
of 81 for every So that the state had
raised in the previous quarter. The
balance is reserved for some future
need" According to Hopkins adj
mission even the whole sum is insig-
nificant for relief needed for the I'M
employed
On the pretense Of giving immedi-
ate attention to an emergency"
Rooscyelt's relief head designated
sums of money for eight states
The Daily Worker on May 10 wher
the Roosevelt Wagner relief measure
was passed in Congress thoroughly
exposed it as a fraud against the in
terests of the unemployed. It'showed
that even if the full sum was allotted
it would be insignificant. Now Roose-
velts. appointee to distribute this
money admits as soon as he takes Of

Did you sign the day return?"
Il don't know"
Then Pecora, the attorney for the
Senate Committee, asked the follow
ing question, WAS any statement of
condition made for the calendar year
of 1892"
Morgan-"Yes."
At this point John w. Davis, Nor
CANS attorney. who was sitting dir
ectly behind Morgan throughout the
examination, whispered hurriedly to
Morgan.
Morgan then answered the next
question, Have you copy Of it?"
By retracting what he had a moment
ago said Il am wrong, it was not
done. he said
Morgan was then asked how would
a statement Of condition as of De-
cember 81 and of January compare.

with spectators as the out

State Maneuyer
BY refusing to prosecute Mooney
the state hoped to create a situation
where the judge would have to di.
rect a verdict Of not guilty. Il
this way the prosecution hope t.
prevent entirely-and certainly limi
testimony BY Mooney and defense
witnesses.
After he had characterized the tria
which he himself had authorized a!
meaningless, the judge said
Before we proceed / want TO

only be of advantage in a plea at

made TO try this action.

The two Bad Chaps sneaked out

knowing nothing of the two Bad
Chaps following him in the rain,
Uncle Wiggily hoped to the mo-
lasses store and, putting down his
umbrella, left it outside SO he
wouldn't make puddles on the floor.
Quickly the Fox and Bob Cat
sneaked up and, with their knives,
they cut holes and Slashes in the
bunny's umbrella. They then hid
behind some boxes and barrels at
the side of the store to wait for
Uncle Wiggily to hop out and get
rain water in. his eyes so they
could catch him.
Out came the bunny with the
molasses. He picked up his umbrel-
la and raised it over his head. But
in a moment he saw that it was
full of holes through which the
rain SplaShed.
"Oh, dear!" said poor Uncle Wig
gily How am I to get home with
a leaky umbrella? What shall L
do?"
Just then, down the street came
walking an old dog tinker with a
lot of old umbrellas. The dog tink-
err was calling:
Umbrellas to mend! Umbrellas

mend!"
"Herel Quick Mend my umbrel-

"Sure!" barked the tinker dog,
and in a little while he had sewed
up the holes. Then, with the mo-
lasses in his pocket, Uncle Wiggily
put up his umbrella and started Tor
his bungalow.
Come on; now we'll get him! "
barked the Fox But Uncle Wig
gily didn't get any rain water in his

had no holes in it. He saw the Bad

assigned to the department that
they were of a certainty distinguish

Bad Chap. ....- ~,
The two chums were sitting in
the den of the Fox looking out at
the rain which was falling heavily.
They were hungry and they were
sore. The tail of the Fox was sore
and the ears of the Bob Cat were
aching.
I'VE might have known it would

YES! Uncle Wiggily was too
smart for u.s." parked the Fox.
The two Bad Chaps had tried to
catch Uncle Wiggily when he was
helping Sammie Littletail fly a
kite. But the kite took a nose dive
and banged the Fox and Bob Cat
so hard that they were glad enough
to run away, taking their tails with
them. =
The Bob Cats tail was a very
silly, little one, but he took it away
with him just the same.
All of a sudden the Bob Cat felt
