48-Year-Old Farm Hand
Had Killed 17-Year-
Old Girls Father

ELGIN, Ill.,, May 8.-(UP).-
A farmland killed his employer
near here Sunday, then forced q
17-year-old girl to kill him.
The three principals were:
John Schmitz, Sc, farmer, shot
to death by his employee.
Oliver Day. az, the farmland,
who killed Schmitz.
Loretta Schmitz. II, the farm
cr's daughter, whom Day forced
to kill him with shotgun under
threat Of "wiping out" the
Schmitz family if she refused.
A posse, formed by Schmitzs
wife, reached the farmyard few
minutes too late to prevent the
second shooting. They found
Schmitz dead on one bedroom
floor and Day dying on another.
Day had worked Is years on
the 1GO-acrc Schmitz farm in the
rich, fiat cornlands eight miles
west of here. He had seen Loretta
grow from two-ycar-old baby
into pretty girl Of II.
When sober, Day was such a
hard worker that Schmitz always
forgavc him for going on periodic
"sprees." The laborer started one
of these sprecs a week ago.
Early Sunday Schmitz heard
Dav prowling on the porch and
told the farmland to go to bed.
An hour later. Day opened the
door of Schmitz' bedroom and
flashed on a light.

TEXTBOOKS IN
n. c. TO CAUSE
new SQUABBLE
Bitter Battle Looked for at
Raleigh Tonight; Two
Bills Are up
ONE MEASURE WOULD
DISBAND COMMISSION
The TimeS-NcwS Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH. May S. Another
fight is expected to develop in
the senate when the two text
book bills come up for discus
siOns, probably Monday night.
The ACKNOWLEDGMENT bill, al
ready passed by the house attet
a bitter battle there in which the
textbook publishers and distrlbu-
tors, assisted by the North Caro-
lima Education association lobby
tried in val ntO kill it, Is on the
senate calendar with favorable
report from the senate education
committee. The Martin textbook
bill, for which the Cameron
Thompson bill was substituted IN
the house, is also on the calendar
with a minority report. An effort
will be made by the textbook and
school forces to get the Martin
bill adopted in the senate rather
than the acknowledgement bill.
The principal differences be-
tween these two bills in that the
Cameron bill provides for the
complete abolition of the two
present textbook commission
the elementary and high school
and for the creation of a single
new commission, composed Of
four business men and three
school men, with the state super
intendent of public instruction
and the governor as cX-otficlo
members. This new commission
would not only select the books
as suitable for adoption, but
would also call for bids on the
books selected and award the
contracts to the lowest bidders.
The Martin bill would perpetuatc
the present system, which has
been in effect for more than 20
years, under which the books are
selected by the two textbook
commissions, composed entirely Of
school superintcndcnts and school
teachers, with the actual adoption
and awarding Of contracts done
the state board of education.
The Cameron-ThompSOn bill
would thus abolish three separate
agencies, which now select and
adopt textbooks, and merge all
three into one, on which there
would be business men as well as
school men. The Martin bill re-
tain the three separate agencies,
two of which are composed en-
tirely of school people.
Representative Cameron o.
Moore and Thompson of Column
bus, authors of the bill that has
already passed the house, main
tain that the changes made in the
system of adopting and distribut-
ing textbooks. especially the pro-
vision requiring all supplement
tary books to be adopted under
state contracts, will save the par
ents of state from 100000 to
100000 a year. They also main
tain that the provision in the bill
giving the new commission power
to change the method of distribu-
ton whenever deemed advisable,
will save about another 100000
a year.
The Cameron-Thompson bill is
being fought bitterly by several
different groups. 1t is being
fought by Acknowledgement Den

President Roosevelts gold and

The newspaper editorially laud-

such a move than she could pos

VIII Be Used as Necessary
To Raise Commodity
Prices, Says F. D. r.
Bv ARTHUR F. DcGREVE
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. May 3. (UP).
President Roosevelt last night
promised the nation he would use
the imitation powers granted by
congress 'when. as, and if neceS-
sarv to raise commodity prices
and stabilize the dollar at a lower
level.
In statement to the public
and which was broadcast review
ing his first two months in office,
Mr.. Roosevelt said his adminiStra-
ton definitely was pledged to
raise commodity prices.
They should be raised. ne said,
'to such an extent that those who
have borrowed money will, on the
average, be able to repay that
money in the same kind of a dol
lar which they borrowed"
However. the president added,
eve do not seek to get such q
cheap dollar that they will be able
to pay back great deal less than
they borrowed"
The chief executive also an
nounced definitely that he would
propose "well considered and con-
scrvativc measures" to give to
the industrial workers of the
country a more fair wage return,
prevent cut-throat competition,
and unduly long hours of labor,
and at the same time to CncOur-
age each industry to prevent over
production"
Replying to criticism that the
powers being vested in him by
congress constituted a virtual die
tatorship. the president pointed
out that there had been no actual
surrender of power by the gov
eminent and said, "No one had
the slightest desire to change the
balance Of these powers"
The president, he said, simply
has been designated as the agency
to carry out certain Of the pur-
poses of congress.
He decricd the use Of the words
government control" over indus
try. farming. and transportation.
and preferred instead that it
should be referred to as a part
rcrship. The government, he said,
would not share in the profits OF
such an arrangement as they
would still 20 to the citizens.
Elaborating on the Industrial
cooperation plan, the president
added:
"The government ought to have
the right and will have the right
after surveying and planning for
an industry to prevent. with the
assistance Of the overwhelming
majority of that industry, unfair
practice and to enforce this agree
ment by the authority of govern
ment."
Although there are evidences OF
: business revival, Mr.. Roosevelt
said he was not going to indulge
in issuing proclamations of over
enthusiastic assurance. He warn
ed against unjust optimism which
would increase crop and factory
production and added:
owe cannot bally-hoo ourselves
back to prosperity"
Mr.. Roosevelt paid tribute to
the cooperation given him by
members of both parties in con-
rress. He listed as legislation
rassed or in the process of enact
ment which he considers part Of a
"well grounded PLAN the follow
