BY the Associated Press.
DENVER, August 4.-Top hands on
the great ranches of the West are
'gittin' along" for the rodeos of the
coming season.
Bulldogging. wild horse racing.
bronco busting and wild steer roping
are regular events of the rodeo, and
all were born during the days work
on the Western plains.
Cowboy tradition credits q colored
cowhand named Bill Pickett with the
invention Of steer wrestling.
Pickett, a Texas hand. was at
tempting to herd some longhorns into
q corral. One kept breaking away and
heading for freedom. Pickett be-
came annoyed, leaped athwart the
steers neck and flung it prone. Later
he was hired to do his stunt at
Fl2 g week, high pay for a cowhand.
Steer Given a Start.
Under today's rules in the bull
dogging event of a rodeo the cowboy
must give the steer q So-foot running
start. Then he and his "hazer," on a
second horse. overtake the steer. ana
when the hazer forces it close to the
wrestler he hurls himself out Of the
saddle and onto the spreading horns.
The steer can't be ''Sogged" on. the
run It must be stopped and then
wreStled esrthward until tossed on its
side with its head skyward.
Usually the closing event on q days
rodeo program is the wild horse race.
Unlike the horses used in the bucking
contests. these animals won't let
themselves even be Saddled without
hght. -Four TO seven men work on
each horse. generally hlindfolding him
until the saddle can be cinched. Then
the rider climbs aboard and does his
best to keep his maddened mount from
plunging through the fence.
Battles Last for Days.
These danger-charged battles be-
tween rnen and animals 90 on for
two to four or i've days, depending on
the Importance of the rodeo. Then
few score cowboys who are decared
winners in the entry field Of several
hundred are paid their purses OF q
few hundred to few thousand dollars.
And Primo Carnera," said q cow
hand, was paid something like $l22.-
600 for exchanging punches for a

Ex.-Gov. Morrow Charges
Rival, Ex-senator Robson,
Stole His Thunder.
SPEECH DROWNED OUT
BY BARKING SHEPHERD
Dramatic Coincident Features
Campaign in Mountain Section,
Where "0ld Ring" II Favorite.

By the Associated Press.
FRANKFORT. KY, August z.-The
question Of whether dogs should be
taxed or freed on their "shackles'
has become an issue in Kentucky's
current campaign for congressional
nominations.
The chief champion of free CANNES
is former Gov. Edwin p. Morrow, a
member of the United States Railway
Mediation Board, who is seeking the
Republican nomination from the
ninth congressional district In the
primary August 4.
He first raised the cry. Free Old
Dog Ring" when he was Governor IL
years ago. Claiming the State has nc
right TO tax dog, "the mountaineer'
best friend" Morrow sought TO have
that law repealed. But the Leeisla-
ture did not agree, and his appeal
came to naught.
Robson Is Opponent.
In regard TO dogs. Morrow has the
concurrence OF his Republican op-
ponent for the congressional nomina-
tion-John NJ. Robson, former United
States Senator.
Robsion and his campaign workers
claim he is Just as much In favor
OF freeing "Old Dog Ring" as Is Nor
row. In reply TO this. the Morrow
faction accuses the opposition of try
ing to steal his thunder.
They assert Morrow was the orig
inal champion Of free dogs, battling
IN their behalf long before Robson
interested himself in the plight of
"Old Ring" or any Of the other pups.
A dramatic coincidence took place
at q recent political rally for Morrow
In mountain town. At the climax
Of his impassioned plea for removing
license tags from the neck Of "Old
Ring" q big shepherd dog entered
the hall and drowned out the speaker
with loud barking.
Thunderous applause followed. The
Morrow faction denied pre-arrange-
inents and vowed the whole thing was
pure coincidence.
Strong Mountain Issue.
The dog issue is not one to be
regarded lightly in the ninth district.
The section is mountainous and largely
is populated by farmers. And the
traditional love of the rural noun
taineer for his dog involves no element
Of fiction. Practically ever family in
the hills has q hound, shepherd dog
or perhaps an ordinary mongrel.
Many never have become reconciled
to the Statewide dog tax, although
there is scarcely q man who would
fail to pay 1t at the expense of sac
rificing his dog.

DEMAND INCOME
TAX IN MARYLAND
Farmers Also Seek Heavier
Levy on Pari-MutueIs
and Inheritances.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BALTIMORE, August 4.-Mary-
land farmers, through a joint COM
mittee of the State Grange and the
Farm Bureau Federation, this week
brought into the open a demand for
a State income tax, increases in the
State inheritance tax and the levy on
pari-mutuel betting-and 20 per
cent cut in farm real estate assess
ments.
These and other recommendations
were announced by members of the
committee as being fair and equitable
for all parts of the State and that they
will work out to the advantage of the
entire tax-paying population, urban
as well as rural"
The recommendations Of the COM
mittee are:
Continued scrutiny of governmental
expenditures looking toward further
reduction and savings, where possible
and feasible, without impairment of
government.
Income Tax Urged.
Enactment by the Legislature Of
an income tax law on individuals as
a means of revenue, a portion of
which should be allocated to the
counties, thereby making it possible
to lower the local general property
tax
Modification Of the present Mary
land inheritance tax so as to tax
property transfers by gift or inherit
ance to both direct or Hneal descend
ants and more remote relatives.
Increase the tax on pari-mutuel
bets from per cent to 2 per cent.
Use of State liquor taxes and license
revenues in reduction of county school
tax rate to the extent. If possible, that
no county shall be required to levy
for school purposes more than 80
cents per 500 Of assessed valuation.
That the motor vehicles license
tax, which is now 80 cents per horse
power, be substantially reduced.
That the counties and Baltimore
City be required to provide their re-
spective relief costs, aside from the
contributions of the Federal Govern
ment, by some means other than a
general property tax.
Farm Decline Cited.
That, inasmuch as farm real estate
in Maryland has declined in value
approximately "a per cent since 1928
(the last general assessment), We
recommend that the farm real estate
assessment be lowered 20 per cent
by a uniform markdown. We are
opposed to a general reassessment of
farm real estate at the present time
because of the heavy expense it in
wolves.
That farm lands and buildings be
assessed as a unit and that the as
sessment of buildings should be based
upon their use for agricultural pur-
poses.
We recommend that there be uni
formity among the counties in re-
spect to tax collection; that tax bills
be so prepared that they will be in
the hands of taxpayers for payment
in the first month after the levy. or
the first month of the fiscal year;
that effort be made TO prevent the
accumulation of tax delinquencies.

STATES DO GOOD
 TRADE IN LIQUOR
Four States Own Their Own Stores and Four
 More Will Follow
(BY UNITED PTESs)

Led by successful venture of the state of Pennsylvania into the liquor business, three other states are operating their own liquor stores and four more others will soon follow suit.
 A United Press survey today showed that Pennsylvania, pioneer in the liquor selling field, sold $3,- 93O.000 worth of wines, whiskies and other beverages to it's residents in the first seven weeks of opera tion. The state treasury received an estimated profit of $9S2, ,500 from the operation of 237 stores. Plans call for the establishment of five more shops.
 Sales in stores operated by the state of Montana were estimated to average about $50,000 a month, the liquor control board announc ed. Members said the venture was showing q profit. but that some months would be required to re- turn the $10O,00O capital advanced by the legislature.
 Oregon, with stores in operation less than a month, and number of them unopened as yet, could make no definite estimate of sales.
 The liquor commission of Wash ingtin planned to begin selling le- galiZed beverages next week.

 Office Official

Washington, March S-(UP)- Paul H. Henderson, vice president of the United Aircraft and Trans sport Go, told senate investigators today that he lent. $10,OOO to a postoffice department official in the fall of 1930, several months after his company obtained transcon- tinental mail contract.
 Henderson testified before the airmail committee that the money went to Chace Cove, chief assistant to former Assistant Postmaster General w. Irving Glover to pro- tect Gove's losses in stock market transactions.
 Henderson's testimony about the Cove loan followed a question by Chairman Hugo L. Black, seeking information on the amount of gifts Henderson had made to gov ernment officials since 1926.
 ''If you exclude Christmas pres ents of boxes of cigars or bottles of wine, I have made no gifts" Hen derson said. However, I lent some money to Chace Gove.'
 He said he endorsed three notes for s1,000 each for Gove's account on. Oct 10, 1880, two more for $1,000 each on Nov 10, and paid all of them himself on Nov 24r On Dec 23, he lent Cove $5,000 and took Gove's notes for $10.000.
 "Havc those notes been paid ?' Black asked.
 "They have not" Henderson re- piled. II destroyed them within the last year or two in Gove's presence at the Willard Hotel here"

MRS PREUSSER WILL NOT ENTER
 LEVITT TANGLE
Local Member of COmmit= tee of Independents Pre-

Mrs Mabel T.

State Chairman J. Henry Rora- back and his organization, and Ma than B. Stone of New Haven. state chairman of the independent forces in Connecticut. In a letter given out to the public late yes terday, MT stone rapped Professor Levitt and repudiated statement issued from Washington, D.

 Mrs Preusser this morning stat ed that she will wait while be- fore takink sides and that she will finally align with the man who proves himself the best champion of the independents.
 The local woman stated that she realized that possibly Professor Levitt was wrong in stating that the independent party would put a full ticket in the field this year. Chairman Stone claims that this is not true at the present time and may not be decided upon until the late summer.
 For some months reports have been heard to the effect that all is not harmonious within the ranks of the independents and that there is considerable friction. The fact that Chairman tSone has seen fit to take Professor Levitt to task,

LawyerIn Wargo Case Makes Plea For Youth
Strong Argument Was Put Up To-day in Springfield; Last Effort to Save the Boy From the
 Electric Chair

.springneld, Mass, March s. UP)-A jury was asked today not to hold Paul Wargo, 21, of Wal lingford. Conn, responsible for the death of jail guard slain by his co-defendant, Alexander Kaminski, 24, of New Britain, Conn, when they escaped from Hampden coun- ty jail here last October.
 Tt is not question whether the two defendants were acting in common enterprise" Attorney Thomas c. Maher, counsel for Wargo, told the jury. "The strug- gle between the guard and Kamin- ski was not paft of the plan of escape that Wargo and Kaminski had agreed on."
 The fate of the two Connecticut convicts, facing mandatory death sentences if convicted, was to be placed in the jury's hands before nightfall.
 It was announced thSt the triaI of Kaminski's older brother, John also a residen of New Britain, would open tomorrow. John was indcited by the Hampden county grand jury yesterday on four SIoI III CoHueClloH WlIH I1G shooting of a sheriff when he at tempted to bomb the courtroom whefe his brother was on trial last week.
 Maher completed his summation just prior to the luncheon recess. This afternoon Edward l. .Fenton, Kaminski's attorney, was to make his final argument, after which District Attorney Thomas r. Mori- arty was to give the state's clos ing arguments, asking for the death penalty for both defendants.
 Maher told the jury that the es- cape plan on which the defendants agreed depended on no guards en- tering the jail shop. He pointed out that Wargo at the time of the guards approach went under a desk and stayed there until the struggle between Kaminski and the guard, Merritt W. Hayden, was over.

FIRE IN SLOCUM
 SCHOOL BEFORE
 PUPILSENTERED
Small Blaze Discovered in Cl0set-It Was Quickly
 Extinguished

Just a few minutes before 750 children were to enter the build ing this morning, a fire was dis covered in Slocum school, at the corner of Division and Walnut tsreets. The blaze, in closet at one end of the school gymnasium, had been extinguished by the au- tomatic sprinkler system when fire engines from the Walnut and Bur- ton street stations arrived.
 It was just a moment or two before the school bell was to sound for the beginning of morn ing classes that the school sprink- Ter alarm went off. The janitor, William Feest, was in the base ment of the building. He saw the smoke pouring from the closet and rang the school alarm. The alarm to the fire department was tele- phoned in by Miss Anna E. Pagan, principal.
 The closet was used for storage purposes. and in it was wooden box containing cotton used in dec orating the gymnasium. Spontan- eous combustion was responsible for the blaze, which soon had the box @ mass of flames.
 The schools sprinkler system. working in perfect order, began operation almost Immediately and an overhead sprinkler soon had the fire almost extingufshed: The janitor and several other men rushed to the closet with extin- guishers but the sprinkler had made their use unnecessary.
 When the fire companies ar rived the fire had been completely checked and they found it neces- sary only to make sure that there were no smoIdering embers to cause another blaze.
 With the schools 24 teachers and number of monitors returned to the building. but with the 750 children still in the school yard.
