JESS BLEDSOE ANNOUNCES FOR
SHARE-THEsWEALTH PROGRAM

Jess Bledsoe, who last fall an.
nounced q campaign platform entitl-
ing every high school graduate to a
car and an unlimited supply of gaso-
line now comes out in favor of Huey
Longs share-the-wealth program. Mr..
Bledsoe wants to divide up the
wealth every six months. He would
be for dividing it every three months,
but that would take such big office
force that the profits would be cut
down.
After the wealth has been distribut-
ed according to this plan, Mr.. Bled-
soc is in favor of starting Share
the Brains program although he has
not settled on how often this distri-
button should be made.

The social security act gives the bu-
reau an option in connection with this
tax, specifying that it might ad-
minister the tax through returns If
desired.
This levy, imposed on wages paid
by employers and income of employees,
begins on January, 1887. with the rate
set at ! per cent on each group for
the first three years and increasing by
one-half of l per cent for each three
years until each classification is pay
ing 3 per cent after l948.
Basing their calculations on the
1880 census, officials have estimated
that there will be slightly more than
100000 gainful workers in the
United States in 1887. Subtracting
about 1200000O owners, operators
and professional persons, and about
100000 workers in exempted oc-
cupations, it is estimated that about
25,000000 employees will be called on
to pay this tax. In addition, it is
figured some 100000 employers will
be taxed.
S560.200,OO0 First Year.
The total revenue thus expected
under title 8 is calculated at $780,
100000 for the first full fiscal year,
that ending on June 80, 1888, in
which the tax is applied. With the
rates increasing as noted above, this
revenue is expected to reach $1,877,-
100000 in the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1850, first full year under
the maximum rate Of 6 per cent.
In its direct relation to the pension
paying provisions of the Federal old
age insurance program, this tax Sec
ton will require the keeping of rec
ords for the 26 or 27 million persons
noted, with age, income, tax contri-
buttons and similar statistics all care
fully tabulated as guide to comput-
ing the pension to be paid when the
person reaches the age of 65. With
both the Society Security Board and
the Internal Revenue Bureau requir-
ing access to these records, the re-
sponsibility for their maintenance is
one of the factors yet to be settled
in administration of this part of the
act.

HARAR, September % (by airmaiD
Regardless of the Italo- Ethiopian
dispute, only the science Of Western
powers may eliminate the four great
scourges Of Ethiopia, diseases which
are deeply rooted in the populace.
Typhus Is such q common disease
as common as whooping cough-that
any attempt to eradicate 1t by cleanli-
ness is beyond the farthest conjecture,
the native Ethiopian peasant being, in
his general husbandry, as insanitary
man as inhabits the globe.
Emperor Halle Selassie, who is a
modernist, believed that typhus innoc-
ulation among 100000 soldiers might
be the opening plan in a campaign
against this disease. Accordingly, fol-
lowing successful innoculations for
typhus by Polish doctors in China, he
corresponded with laboratories at Lem
berg, and received the reply that three
months were required to develop serum
sufficient for $50 innoculations.
Louise Carries Disease.
The carrier Of typhus is small,
blackish louise, and contact with ma
tives inevitably finds the intruder en-
dowed with several Of these little
creatures. They are SO prevalent that
yesterday, while the governor of this
province was hearing a state case,
the correspondent observed a coun-
cilor's friendly action in plucking a
louise from a fellow statesman. He
f1icked the little pest on to the carpet
with the utmost politeness, his COL
league barely inclining his head in
thanks.
Natives dip their clothing in rancid
butter, which sometimes is fairly ef-
fective as defense against the lice.
Fleas. however. which do not carry
typhus, are hardly considered pests.
One correspondent feas himself
nightly, though the inconvenience
caused by flea powder in a fresh bite
is considerable Fleas in a reasonable
quantity, as David Harum observed,

from brooding on being dog" In

Informed sources said the League
action in declaring Italy had resorted
to war in violation of Article XII of
the covenant, making Article XVI and
its sanctions operative, would have
another answer from Italy soon in
further advances by Fascist troops into
Ethiopia.
The general opinion here was that
after the positions around Aduwa had
been consolidated a new objective to
the southeast would be designated and
promptly taken.

Italy exports tons of rice, which
could be limited, and has corn in
abundance. The Fascist reforestation
schemes give her thousands of po-
tential tons of wood.
Acts Against Sanctions.
Financially and industrially, Mus
solini has taken a step against pos
sible sanctions with these measures:
A 10000, 900 000-lire war loan, forced
conversion of rental deposits into
government bonds, elevation of the
price of gasoline to more than it
costs the government in the world
market, obligatory conversion of all
foreign credits into government bonds,
10 per cent tax on all company
dividends. creation of a general COM

terials and creation of monopoly

valuable raw products imports to be

not only be paid out of purely Italian
resources, but that the measures now
afoot would enable Italy to wipe out

BY the Associated Press.
The neutrality program proclaimed
by President Roosevelt won praise
today from several Senators ana a
man who had charge of enforcing
Americas neutrality policy before she
entered the World War.
The opinion was expressed that the
new policy should be applied literally
even if it meant loss of a $5o,0o0,0O0
export trade with Italy.
You can't compare commercial
transactions with the loss of human
lives" commented Senator Norris,
Republican, of Nebraska. Others took
a similar position, including Senators
Donahey Democrat, of Ohio, and
Pope. Democrat, of Idaho, and
Charles Warren of Dedham, Mass.
who was Assistant Attorney General
from 1914 to 1918 and as such had
charge of the enforcement of matters
connected with Americas neutrality.
The new policy on which they COM
mented embraces an embargo on arms
shipments to Italy and Ethiopia. and
presidential warnings that Americans
who travel on ships of either country,
or carry on any transactions WIN
them, do so at their own risk.
S44,OOO,000 Trade in Eight Months.
The United States exported $4,000
600 worth of goods to Italy in the
first eight months of 1895, as COM
thnncond
worth to Ethiopia.
Concerning this point, Norris said:
"You can't trade human lives for any
commercial benefits. We could afford
to lose that trade with Italy"
The fact the President went beyond
the wording of the neutrality act In
declaring ANY transactions with the
belligerents would be at the risk of the
participant and without governmental
protection drew praise from Donahey.
I'D rather he would 60 beyond the
law than underneath it," said the
Ohioan. THE American people have
got fixed ideas about neutrality, at
least they have in my State. I'd like
to see the Presidents policy carried
out literally. I'm back of his mani
festo 100 per cent"
The legislator said peace would be
"cheap if we lost all our trade with
Italy"
"Other nations can trade with us"
he added.
Policies Of Past Secuted.
Asked if the stand taken by Con-
eress and the President did not repre-
sent an epochal change in the old
freedom of the seas" motto, Donahey
tilted back in his seat and asserted:
IF policies of the past get us into
war, let's change the policies"
Senator Pope, just returned from
an unofficial survey of conditions
abroad, was very much pleased" with
the Presidents position and thought
it would prove very helpful"
He said loss of trade would be
small price to pay for neutrality
preservation.
AT the same time, We would be
cooperating with other nations In
their program" he said. Pope will
speak on neutrality in Minneapolis
tonight and in ST. Paul tomorrow
night.
Warren, who maintains an Office
here, characterized the Presidents
warning about ANY transactions" as
the "boldest, most important and most
effective step toward keeping this
country out of war ever taken by
the United States. 1t recognizes that
the right of the United States to
keep out of war is greater than the
right of a citizen to engage in trade
which might implicate the United
States in war"

DESERTIONS REPORTED.

Natives Said to Be Quitting Italian

Adds ABABA, October 8.-An
Ethiopian official said today the Ital-
ian Army on the northern front was
suffering wholesale desertions of its
native soldiers.
Information received from the
north shows that Ethiopians serving
in the Italian Army are deserting en-
masse." the official asserted.
Fifty armed Eritreans under the
command of an important chief, ar
rived at Makale, south of Aduwa, with
italian machine guns. In the Agame
region, 200 armed Eritreans surren-
dered to authorities"
Warriors Mass in Hills.
Ethiopian warriors, meanwhile,
massed in the hills south of Aduwa,
confronting the northern Fascist force.
Whether the great concentration
augured the first major pitched battle
of the six-day campaign or whether
the Ethiopians would decide upon
marrying tactics was unknown.
Wild scenes occurred at the Adds
Ababa railroad station when American
women and children and other foreign
ers attempted to board the train today
for Djibouti, French Somailand.
The exodus was so great that crowds
bidding farewell to their friends be-
came unmanageable.
Hundreds of persons, fearing Italian
air raids on the capital. cluttered the
