Cogs Again Turn
With Impeachment Sidetracked
Senate Considers Erickson's
Proposal for Constitution
al Amendment
WOULD TAX GROSS INCOMES
intended to Replace Levy on
Public Utilities Held Tn.
constitutional

Designed as a step toward placing
q IL per cent gross income tax on
public utility corporations. a propoS-
ed constitutional amendment was in
troduced in the state senate Monday
by Senator o. e. Erickson Of Kidder
county.
The proposal, Erickson said, is in
tended to pave the way for re-intro-
duction of the measure passed last
session, but subsequently found un-
constitutional by the courts to tax
utilities IL per cent of gross earn
ings.
Modelled after South Dakota con-
stitutional amendment sustained by
the supreme court Of that state. the
proposal would give the state the
right to tax gross incomes of corpor-
atoms and make 1t possible to intro
duce the IL per cent gross tax law.
Passage Of the concurrent resolu-
ton by the state legislature would
make way for its submission to vote
at the next statewide election.
Amends Section 179, Article IL
Amending section ITO Of article IL
Of the state constitution, Erickson's
resolution would empower the legisla-
ture to divide all property. both real
and personal, and including fran
chise privileges and licenses to do
business in this state, into classes,
what property for taxa
ton purposes belongs to each class.
The legislature may provide by law
for the levy and assessment by the
state board OF equalization, in lieu
Of all other state or local taxes there

Of tho gross earnings or net incomes, -
the resolution reads, Of the corpora
ton using or owning the property be-
longing to any of the classes. but
such per centum shall be uniform for
each class"
Further provision is made that the
legislature may impose taxes upon
incomes and occupations and taxes
upon incomes and occupations may
be graduated and progressive and
reasonable exemptions may be pro-
vided.

BANKHEAD LAW TARGET

The Bankhead cotton curtailment law, the most powerful weapon in the hands of AAA is expected to come in for some attack.
 The opposition takes the view that the law has led to increased foreign production and to decreased American cotton consumption. To this Chester Davis, AAA admins trator, has replied:
 "The expansion of foreign cotton acreage occurred before the AAA program was devised. Further, this expansion came when supplies of American cotton were at the record level of 100000 bales. It came when the price was low.
 "Our exports are declining not primarily because of American price or production policies. The principal reasons are foreign ex- change restrictions. the low level of foreign purchasing power and increased nationalism. There still is an abundance of cotton, certain ly, for export, and the price is not high in terms of gold"

Critics of AAA May Fire A,oay Any Old Time-What's the Use? Solid Backing Behind Agency
By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-- Critics of the Agricultural Adjustment Ad- ministration in the present Con- gress quietly have been given to un- derstand that they may fire away whenever and as frequently as they desire.
 Other alphabetical agencies of the new deal" may be suffering from the jitters, but nerves at AAA head quarters are as peaceful as can be. AAA officials feel they have noth- ing to fear because:
 They have the support of the White House.
 They have the backing of the American farm bureau federation.
 Their cause is championed by Secretary Wallace of the depart ment of agriculture.
 The cOrn-hog farmers have voted two to one for continuation of their voluntary control plan ,.-.
 And the south balloted over- whelmingly in favor of continued government control of cotton pro- duction and marketing.

JUNEAU AID IS
 ASKED BY B. C.
 TOWN ON ROAD
Stewards Board of Trade Requests Chamber
 to Give Help

Asking the support of Juneau in the matter of the proposed route of the Alaska Yukon International Highway, a letter from the Stew art, B. O., Board of Trade proved the feature of the weekly luncheon meeting of Juneau's Chamber of Commerce, held at noon today at Bailey's Cafe. ie
 The letter substantiated an inter- view granted The Empire Monday by Joe Green, Territorial Represen- tative from the First Division and resident of Hyder, nearest Alaska city to Stewart.
 In the interview, Green had said that pressure was being brought to swing the Highway from Hazelton, B. O., it's present farthest north terminus, up through the interior of Canada instead of to a more western course. bringing it nearer the Southwest Alaska coastline.
 Green also spoke at today's Chamber of Commerce meeting after Secretary Curtis Shattuck read the communication fir om Stewart. Green again explained the two courses open and urged uni fled action by British Columbia Boards of Trade and Alaskan Chambers of Commerce, on the west route.
 President R. E.. Robertson an- nounced that the matter would be discussed at the next meeting of the Executive Board of the Cham Der, scheduled for Tuesday noon at Bailey's Cafe. The complete text of the; Stew art letter follows:
 we wish to bring to your
 attention a matter in which
 we are all vitally concerned.
 As you will doubtless agree C pressure of public opinion will
 soon force the Canadian Gov
 ernment to take action on the
 Alaska Yukon Highway. Such
 action will certainly be in con-
 cert with the United States
 Government. It Is obvious that
 the nearer to the Coast this
 road is built. the easier and
 cheaper it will be for such
 communities as ours to be con-
 nected with this Highway. We
 have already pointed out to
 our Governments Dominion
 and ProvinciaD that more com
 munities will be served and

CROSS EXAMINATION

PENNINGTON. N. J., Jan. b. As court convened this morning in the trial of Bruno Richard Haupt- mann, charged with killing baby Lindbergh, cross examination duel between Dr. John F. Condon, known as Jafsie, and Edward J. Reilly, chief defense counsel, was taken up where it left off yesterday after noon.
 It became known that Jafsie, in an interview, said he waited for five hours to tell the public he had come to the end of his hunt for the ransom collector because he wanted to be fair.
 In Police Lineup
 Jafsie said he knew the search was over when he confronted d Hauptmann in the police lineup the day after Hauptmann's arrest.
 When the police gave out the information that Jafsie partly identified the prisoner" pr. Con- don let it go at that. . T knew Hauptmann the first time I saw him in the police sta- tion but refused to identify him because it was not fair in the confusion that existed and to do so without making further tests. His accent, manner and features gave him away.
 How could I forget after sitting with him for an hour on bench at the cemetery?"
 No Disclosures
 Chief Defense Attorney Reilly said he does not intend to disclose to- day the names of the four persons whom the defense contends did the actual Kidnapping, as he promised last Sunday.
 The defense today sought to trap Dr. Condon on details of his story in which he named Hauptmann as the mysterious John" who nego- tiated and collected the ransom.
 Ransom Note
 Reilly suddenly switched to the ransom note which led Condon to the woodland cemetery tryst with John"
 pr. Condon acknowledged the note did not bear the kidnap symbol
 Reilly continued to stick minute details to the witness trying to confuse Dr. Condon and mix him up with his previous testimony.
 Receives Ransom Note
 Dr. Condon said he stood in front of a frankfurter stand when told where to go to receive the ransom note. He said he saw one auto, with one person in 1t, his head out of the window, followed by another auto.
 Under questioning. Dr. Condon admitted he did not take the license numbers.
