Thomas To Keep
Up Filibustering

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. UP
One avowed filibusterer remained
today of the senate group which
undertook a fortnight ago to de-
lay the Glass bank bill.
Senator Thomas, Dem, Okla,
told the United Press he would de-
lay the measure somewhat longer
in order to get before the senate
his arguments for currency infla-
ton to raise commodity prices.
The branch bank compromise
voted Saturday appeared to have
removed the major obstacles to
senate action on the bank bill.
Thomas said he did not expect he
would be able to block action for
more than a short time. Senators
hoped for a final vote by mid
week.
Senator Long, Democrat, Louisi-
ana, processes to be reasonably con-
tent with the amended bill but has
informed the senate he has some
additional changes to offer.

ACTIVITIES OF FARM BUREAU
OFFICIALS UPHELD BY BOARD

/ attorney, were indulging in polit.
| ical activities, and using the farm
bureau as office for Hewes' cam.
paign.
Beginning in an orderly enough
/ fashion, the meeting soon develop
ed into a series of accusations anc
counter-accusations in which the
names of Mark Rose, Southern ST.
erraS Power Co., and also the issue
of free water were banded about
In the discussion it was pointed
out that before publicly announc-
ing his candidacy as irrigation dis
trist director to succeed John l.
Dubois, Hewes asked and received
permission of the farm bureau di-
rectors to run, and offered his re-
signation as president, which the
directors refused to accept. 1t was
also brought out that Dubois, for
merly president, was asked to re-
sign from that office not because
he was engaged in political activi-
ties, but because the policies of the
district board were directly oppo-
site to those advocated by the farm
bureau.
Halliday Defended
c. F.. Kamm of Holtville then
demanded to know why a dona-
ton of $25 was accepted from the
Southern Sierras Power Co., say
ing he did not believe that the
farm bureau should accept dona-
tions from public utilities. Foulds
reminded him that according to
action taken by the directors at a
previous meeting, he (Foulds) was
instructed to conduct a campaign
among various business firms OF
the city for sustaining member
ships in the farm bureau and that
he had done so and had received
no instructions to omit the power
company.
When the attack was made upon
Halliday a number of directors
rose to his defense, stating that as
attorney for the farm bureau and
without pay, he had advised them
and in many instances enabled
them to secure returns due them
from shippers.
During the course of the meet
ing, Earl v. G. Northrop offered a
motion that the discussion be laid
on the table until after the elec-
tions, but the motion was voted
down, Hewes and Foulds stating
that they wanted to be either vim
d;notaJ or pOpdeoonpd
After continued stormy discus
sion, the motion was made by
Northrop and seconded by John
Fiala that Hewes and the other
officers be exonerated and that the
board give them vote of conf
dence.
The motion was carried with only
one dissenting vote, that of Bailey,
although several directors present,
including the officers under fire,
refused to vote.

compromise school support amendk
ment was proposed on the floor
of the senate today as a means of
balancing the state budget.
The measure, designed to effect
less drastic economics in constitu-
tional guarantees for school sup
port, would reduce the state pay
ments from $50 to $27 per pupil,
saving the state approximately So

It would also set a maximum of
$24 and SAB for the basis of county
assessments for elementary and
high schools instead of the $50 and
$50 in the amendment of r. r.
Ingels, Potter Valley, which has re-
ceived committee approval. The
