PEONIEs CULTURE

Peonies respond abupdantly 10
good care and punishment and do
not require a great deal OF care
after they are established. Pre-
paration OF the soil is one Of the
biggest factors in growing healthy
plants. They are heavy feeders
and require a deeply prepared soil.
The best soil is a heavy loan, one
which is not too heavy with sand.
The best time to divide and
transplant peonies is during Sept.
or October. This is true because
peonies produce their feeding roots
in the spring. Spring transplant
ing is bad In that these essential
roots are destroyed
Set the plants only two or three
inches below the surface Of the
soil. Too shallow planting will
cause them to be heaved out
through the winter. 500 deep
planting results in the roots rot
ting or in small or no flowers.
Each plant should be given a
space OF three feet in diameter for
development The soil should be
retentive of moisture. yet well
drained for the plants rot if the
ground is 50 low that the water
will stand around the plant dur
ing the winter.
Manure should not be mixed
among the roots, but clean soil
should be next TO the roots ana
then the manure.

KELLY PLANS
MORE RELIEF

SACRAMENTO, Nov. ID. U.P) -
State participation in new fed
eral relief program was planned by
Earl Lee Kelly, director of public
works, today as he instructed dis
trict engineers to list six or eight
public construction projects in each
county for submission to the Uni
ted States bureau Of public roads
by Nov. 20.
Additional work on highway pro-
jects will be made possible by new
$9O,O00,O 900 program designed to pro-
vide jobs for 100000 men before
January l. Individual projects may
cost $5 900 or less and may include
drainage facilities, widening of
shoulders and curves, fencing rights
of way, cleaning streets and trim
ming trees.
Men would be taken from relief
rolls to fill the jobs. The expense
would be shared by federal road
funds, 35 per cent, and local fed
eral unemployment relief agencies,
IS per cent.
Because the plan was in its for
mulative stages, Kelly did not know
how much would be allotted Cali
fornia. but predicted It would be
approximately $2,000,000.

NRA DEFENDED
BY JOHN NSON

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. Ia. U.P)
The NRA aims at fair competi-
ton in industry and not at any
curb of individualism, Gen. Hugh
johnson told 10000 persons in his
final address of a mid-WeStern
speaking tour here.
'SSelf regulation under govern
ment supervision need not inter-
fere in the slightest degree with
such dearly held American institu-
tions as individualism, competition
and liberty of speech and action, y

Gen. johnson boarded a train to-
day to return to Washington to re-
port to President Roosevelt the
middle west, is almost unanimous in
its support of his recovery program.
The NRA, johnson said, has no
fear of "such windy resistance" as
shown by its critics. $50 far as the
MIRA is concerned, our organiza-
ton is fairly proud of what has
been accomplished" he said.
The recovery administration aims
only at such supervision as will aid
industry, not hamper it, johnson
said. He compared NRA codes to
rules and regulations in sports
when we cut eye-gouging and
groin-kicking out of boxing, we
didn't interfere with Jack Demp-
seys rugged individualism to any
such extent that he couldn't get
knocked over the ropes onto the
typewriters and come back to put
the Wild Bull of the Pampas down
on the canvas four times in sc
seconds" he said.
For the same reason" he con-
tinued, competition will be no less
keen because we all agree that we
don't need sweat labor, to work
children and lie in advertising and
cheat by every mean, sneaking and
unfair advantage ever invented"

Of Canal. Up
BEFORE BOARD

Members of the irrigation district
board of directors again discussed
construction of the All-American
canal at their meeting yesterday af-
ternoon. The chief phase of this
topic considered was whether the
district ought to bid for the con-
struction contract, working by force
account under the reclamation SER
vice or allow the work to be done
! by private contracting concerns un-
der competitive bidding.
Directors Rose and Aten' were
strongly in favor of the district do
ing the work while Directors Hewes
and Young were not in sympathy
with this idea, stating that in their
opinion the district was not in po-
sition to assume this responsibility
due principally to lack of proper
equipment to do the work.
M j. Dowd, chief engineer, be-
ieved that the district is as well
equipped in this regard as outside
contractors would be and that in
any event, no matter to whom the
contract would ultimately be given
new equipment would of necessity
have to be purchased for the work
Dowd was asked by the board tc
draw up an estimate for the con-
tract to be used by the board foi
their own information upon which
should the board finally agree tt
enter a bid, their figures could bt

/ Meantime the board members are
awaiting the arrival in Los Angeles

reclamation service, who was con-
/ tacted in Washington, D. c., by
Hewes and Dowd on their recent
visit to the national capital rela-
tive to the canal project. 1t is ex-
pected that the board will meet with

PARIS, Nov IA U.P)-French
wine men hoped today that an
American proposal to impose a 100
per cent tax on wines from coun-
tries that do not pay their war

News of the proposal came when
the head of the Mumm champagne

United States to prepare the way
for entry of his product, and while
Prince Guy de Palignac, of another
important champagne house, pre-
pared to sail tomorrow.
There was great shock among all

should even have been conceived
and they were not inclined to COM

WASHINGTON Nov. a. U.P)-
A complete embargo on imports Of
liquor and wine from countries
which have failed to meet their war
debt payments to the United States
was urged today by Rep. Britten,
Repn., Ill.
Britten said he believed the Pre-
sidenG s)lould continue the pre-
sent embargo until congress can
act on the matter early next year.
A recent White House conference
decided to relax somewhat the pre-
sent import restrictions and per-
NIT entry of several thousand gal
Ions of medicinal spirits prior to
Dec. 5, the effective date of re-
peal.
Rep. Fiesenger, Dem, Ohio, has
proposed a 100 per cent duty on
wines from war debt defaulters
such as France.
Britten favored an absolute en-

and brandies, but also on whiskies
from England which has made only
partial payments on recent debt in

ROLPH URGES

LIQUOR LAWS
Says Present Provisions Sew
Gritty Would Result In Spread
OF Speakeasies.

SACRAMENTO, Nov. IA U.P)-A
special election may be called early
in 1884 to liberalize California IS
liquor control laws, Governor James
Rolph said today.
Expressing the opinion that pres
ent rules, prohibiting public serv-
ing or drinking of any liquor eX-
cept beer and wine, would cause
speakeasies to flourish, the eXecu-
tive said regulatory laws should be
changed to permit hotels and res
taurants to serve liquor. There
should be greater local control and
possible schedule of taxes, he be-
lieves.
Under the present constitutional
provision, approved by the voters
in regular election last November
only beer and wine may be served
publicly; hard liquor may be pur-
chased only by the bottle, and must
be consumed in the privacy of home
or club, the state has the sole pow
er to enforce and administer the
laws, local option measures being
superseded by the constitution; the
only tax provided is two cents a
gallon levy on beer and wine, which
the board of equalization plans TO
extend to all types of liquor.
Rolph said he considered submit
ting to the voters program repeal
ing sections of the present amend
ment. This could be accomplished
through circulation of initiative pc
titions, requiring 10000 signatures,
or proposal of constitutional
amendment by special session of
| the legislature.
Rolph favors the initiative plan.
He does not wish to call the legis-
lature into session unless absolute
ly necessary, and he feels the liquor
situation could be handled directly
by the people.
"The liquor act isn't right as it
ISL he said. cts too severe. 1t
appears to be neither satisfactory
nor enforceable, and it will en-
courage the speakeasy. 1 believe
the people would vote for liberaliz-
ed control.
"When the liquor act was drawn
it's authors did not anticipate repeal
so soon. They could not foresee
such a universal trend of opinion
against prohibition, and they made
the regulatory laws too severe" "

NEW system

Mussolini Abolishes Parliament

BY THOMAS MORGAN

ROME, Nov. 14.-Premier Benito
Mussolini, abolishing at one stroke
the ancient Italian parliamentary
system. today announced dissolu-
tion Of the chamber of deputies, and
the turning over of national legis-
lative powers to system of trade
and commercial guilds.
The guilds, through their central
council, and embracing industry
labor and commerce, will replace
the chamber in the new corpora
tive state" evolved by Mussolini on
the foundations of Fascism.
Mussolinis historic pronounce
ment which had been forecast when
he issued his call for today's mo-
mentous meeting of the national
guild council, confirmed the setting
up of a new political system, and
left few of its details undisclosed.
After reviewing the History" OF
capitalism, which, he said, embrac-
ed three phases, the dynamic, the
static and the decadent," and de-
claring that the rise of the cartel
and trust from 1870 on marked the
decline of the old system, Mussoli-
nj turned to modern life.

Advisors Of Administration To

Program To Fullest.
WOODIN NOT RESICNINC
Dollars Value Being Carefully
Watched To Avoid Endanger-
ing Credit.
WOODIN NOT RESIGNINC
BY RICHARD L. GRIDLEY
UP Financial CORRESPONDENT

Washington, Nov 14-Monetary
differences between Preside n
Roosevelt and conservative treasury
officials apparently have been IRON
ed out.
Whole-hearted support pledged
to the President in his managed
currency program by Secretary
Woodin was interpreted as an ad-
ministration answer to recurring re-
ports of impending designations in
the treasury department.
Some treasury officials have fear
ed the Presidents plan of deliber-
ate dollar depreciation in an effort
to boost domestic commodity pri-
ces endangered financing of the re-
covery program. Depreciating the
currency usually Is deterrent to
the sale of bonds.
But treasury officials now profess
satisfaction with the state of the
governments credit despite sharp
break in the prices of United States
government bonds last week which
carried many of them below par
for the first time in months. The
decline in the bonds was ascribed
to absence of buyers rather than to
any increase in selling pressure.
From now on it was believed like
ly that the government would pur-
sue its dollar depreciation program
with caution to guard against touch
ing off a selling movement in bonds
that might shut it off from this
means of government financing.
Secretary Woodin expressed salts
faction with the current rate of re-
funding $1,875, 100000 of the fourth
Az per cent Liberty loan bonds IN
the face of monetary uncertainties
Meanwhile, the government has
more than $4,000, 100000 in resour-
ces of the federal reserve banks vir-
tually at its command as poten-
tial buying power for government
bonds. Reserve banks are buying the
bonds at the rate of $4,000 ,00C
weekly and any sudden drop in the
price of the bonds might be ar
rested with an increase in this buy
ing rate. In addition President
Roosevelt has power under the Tho
mas amendment to purchase So ,00o,-
100000 in government bonds with
new greenback money.
