New York, N. Y. March 23.-lR>-
Hopeful Of q real recovery in inter-

crs say that the degree Of improve
ment may depend mainly on what
sort Of moves President Roosevelt
makes.
They manifest much interest in his
tariff bargaining program and ex-
press the opinion that It may provo
to be the cornerstone for . revival
OF world business.
They see the era Of economic m.
tionalism drawing to . close and per-
haps its replacement by IN era oG

This Is shown by . far-flung sur
vey made by the Associated Press
through It's hundreds Of corresponds
ents in all parts Of the globe.
Government officials and trade ex.
perts in nearly every country were
asked to state an opinion On the pros.

possibilities for increased trade with

Almost without exception the re-
plies were emphatic on otie point
that President Roosevelt apparently
holds the key to q revival Of trade.
Would List Two Duties
Roosevelt has requested thst con-
gress grant him tariff bargaining
powers. With these powers he would
list two duties for each article o.
commerce and would grant the lower
OF the two duties to any country h

BENEFIT

FOR SENATE ACTION
House Refuses to Approve High
er Appropriations in
Votes Thursday

Washington. March 23.-(R)-In q
congressional game Of catch It was the
scnate's turn to receive the veterans
benefit ball Friday.
The house, after two surprise votes,
tossed the independent offices bill to-
ward the upper chamber again Thurs
day. The representatives, in the two
ballots, stuck by their decision In fav-
or Of veterans benefit amendment
costing $40 ,000. 900 and an amendment
to restore federal pay cuts estimated
at $l26, O00, 600.
The senate has voted for Sis, 900
and $3.50, 900 900, respectively.
On the sidelines was President
Roosevelt with q veto bat. ready to
knock the ball clear out Of the lot II he
doesn't like 1t when 1t gets to him. He
has said definitely that he would
veto the senate provisions. There
have been hints that he might veto
even the smaller house amendments.
Both are considerably above budget
estimates.
With this question off its hands.
the house turned Friday to another
perennial issue-the tariff.
Democratic leaders planned to hold
the house In session Friday night,
with another long round Of debate
Saturday In order to bring the reci-
procal tariff treaty bill, recommend
ed by President Roosevelt. to q vote
next week.
Already some Democratic as well
Is most Republican senator's have
been critical because the proposal per-
n1its the president to enter trade
pacts without senate sanction. Both
house and senate members have OBJ
jected also to its authority to raise or
lower any duty by 50 per cent.

as 6ootleggers Continue

Lack Of enforcement Of laws pro-
hibiting the sale Of intoxicating Ii
qIors by the national and state gov
ernments Is rapidly creating q situa-
ton worse than before national pro-
hibition went into effect and worse
than under national prohibition, Po-
lice Magistrate Edward s. Allen said
Friday.
In statement issued in pronounc-
Ing sentence on Lloyd Gosney. who
pleaded guilty to bootlegging, Allen
says that unless change In condt-
tons Is brought about in the near
future he believes the citizens Of the
state will vote for strict prohibition.
Allen has adopted policy Of re-
curing those brought before him to
tell where they purchased the liquor
and II they refuse he sentences them
to 80 days in the county jail. Chap
ter 81 Of the Session Laws Of 1921
gives him the authority to sentence
persons refusing to divulge their
source Of supply to from 10 to 80
days in Jail or by fine Of not less
than $50 nor more than 500. or by
both such fine and Imprisonment.

says. he will issue a warrant for the
arrest Of the bootlegger and will SEN
tence him to jail. II convicted, under
q city ordinance that provides that
no person may sell intoxicating LIQUOR
Within the city limits.
The judge, In his statement, said
that some mornings as many as q
dozen people have been brought be-
Tore him charged with drunkenness
and he has decided to call q halt.
being satisfied that the drunkenness
Is not caused by drinking beer. He
said he believed persons securing IL
censes to sell beer should be protected,
and that bootlegging Of hard LIQUOR
should be stamped out.
The promises made by advocates
OF the law permitting the sale Of beer
that the question Of the sale OF in
toxicating liquor would be solved has
not been kept, Allen said. He recon-
mends that the city commission enact
more strict ordinances to prohibit the
illegal sale Of liquor.
AS far as this court Is concerned"
Allen said, 1T will do all In its power
to stop the sales Of every kind OF
intoxicating liquor except, where the
seller has q license to sell same"
In his statement Allen said the lack
OF enforcement IS not due to negli-
gence on the part OF state, county or
city officials, but Is caused by the
Chaotic condition resulting since the
repeal OF the national prohibition
amendment, without and laws being
passed to regulate the LIQUOR traffic.

MASON RAPS FORMER
Chief IN OPENING
. DRIVE FOR SENATE
Says Frazier Had People on
Payroll Who Did no Work
for Their Money

Opening campaign for the Repub-
lican senatorial nomination In q
speech at Wimbledon Wednesday
night, Nelson A. Mason. Bismarck at
torney and former secretary to Unit
ed States Senator Lynn ]. Frazier
charged the incumbent with hamper
ing the work Of the Indian Affairs
committee. keeping his son on the
senate payroll at $500 q year. and in
other ways being derelict in hts du-
ties.
Among the things which Mason
charged against the senator were:
Keeping his son on the payroll OF
the Indian Affairs committee while
chairman at salary OF $500 year,
although the son performed little or
no service: keeping another friend
and namesake on the payroll at
$4,000 year. while the man spent his
time attending school in Washing
ton; putting q married woman,
whose husband receives q large sal
airy, on the payroll, for which she
received $367.42 although she only
visited the office twice. and that only
casually: continuing disbarred Mon
tana attorney, named A. A. Grorud,
as an employee Of the committee, who
was an associate Of CASTOR B. Means.
He charged Grorud was guilty Of UNI
ethical conduct and gross insubor.
dination to other members Of the COM
mittee.
Asked Means BE Barred
Mason said he had asked Frazier to
bar Means from his office, as he was
notorious as q corrupt lobbyist, with
out avail. Means, he said. recently
was sentenced for obtaining $4,000
under false pretenses in connection
with the Lindbergh kidnapping case.
He charged that Frazier had Gro
rud re-instated to practice law in
Montana upon his request to the SUI
preme court Of that state.
Frazier had never protested against
the mulcting Of money from Okla
homa Indians, Mason charged. though
as chairman Of the Indian Affairs
committee he had power to investi-
gate the charges. He cited the case
OF jackson Barnett. aged Greek In
dian Of Oklahoma, who was kidnap-
ed by an adventures and married

MINNESOTA INCOME
LEVY IS APPROVED
IN court DECISION
ConstitutionaIity Of Enactment
Is Upheld in BY Verdict
Of Seven Judges

st. Paul, March 23.-(RtThe state
graduated income tax, created by the
1888 legislature and now In effect
was held constitutional Friday by the
Minnesota supreme court.
The tax violates no provisions OF
either the state or federal constitu-
ton. according to the opinion written
by Associate Justice Charles Loring
which met with the approval Of the
other five associate justices and Chief
Justice John p. Dcvaney.
The decision was handed down on
q test case instituted by Sidney r.
Reed, Minneapolis taxpayer, chal-
longing the constitutionality Of the
graduated tax. He was represented
by q. A. Youngquist, Minneapolis
former state attorney general.
Attorney General Harry H. Peter
son handled the case in behalf Of the
state, being one Of the defendants
with the three members Of the state
tax commission and +. J. Pearlove
state comptroller.
The decision Of the supreme court
reverses the decision OF District Judge
Hugo o. Hanft OF st. Paul, who ruled
the income tax unconstitutional
forcing the state officials to carry
the appeal to the high court.
win Raise $2,0oo.0o0
As q result Of the decision Of the
highest court in the state, between
5000 and 100000 individuals and
corporations Of the state must file
income tax returns. II they have not
yet done 50, by April is, or be SUBJ
ject to penalty. Approximately a.
100000 will be raised this year
through this form Of taxation, &C.
cording to estimates.
The proceeds Of the income tax
under the law, must first be used t.
pay of indebtedness Of school dis
tricts Of the state before the money
goes into the state revenue fund COT
fers.
Although the decision Of the high
court Is final as far Is violation d
the state constitution Is concerned
the court pointed out that its views
concerning the federal constitution
are subject to possible correction b.
the United States supreme court, 4
tho case l. carried to that court on
appeal.
The principal objections against
the income tax raised BY Reed were
directed against the graduated ratel
ana exemptions permitted By the
law. The exemptions permitted were
earnings up to and including 9l.20o
for unmarried individuals. $4,000 fol
heads Of households. $3.50 for each
dependent. and $1,000 for corpora.
tions. The graduated rate r stepped
