One of these witnesses who COM
planned bitterly was Patrick j. Hurley,
secretary of war in the Hoover adj
ministration. He testified that he had
received 100000 from the Associated
Gas and Electric system in the last
three years, but insisted he was paid
for legal advice only and had done no
lobbying. Hurley was not permitted
to read a prepared statement, and

Joseph P. Tumulty, who was secre-
tary to President Wilson, also was put
on the stand and was not treated so
roughly. He. too, admitted receiving
considerable sums from utility con-

he had done any lobbying. Tumulty

was easily defeated.
AS passed by the house, the bill Is
not quite what the President asked
for. Briefly summarized, 1t increases
taxes on individual incomes over $5O,-
600, substitutes a graduated corpor-
ation-income tax for the present fiat
levy, puts new taxes on inheritances
and gifts in addition to those already
borne by estates and gifts, imposes
new taxes of 5 to 20 per cent on sex
cess" profits Of corporations.
1t is designed to raise revenue esti-
mated at between $250,000,OOO and
$270,000,000. Its warmest friends
couldn't explain how this would do
much in the way of bringing about
what the President calls "wider dis
tribution of wealth." or in the way Of
balancing the budget.
The measure was handed on to the
senate with dubious prospects. 1t was
expected the senate finance committee
would study it for about week, and
iE the meanwhile the conservative Re-
publicans and not few Democrats
were preparing to fight it. Senator
w. W. Barbour Of New Jersey, Repub-
lican, fired an opening gun with a
statement in which he said: "Votes,
and votes alone, are the objective OF
this half-baked measure"
Declaring the bill "has no relation
to making income meet outgo, but Is
intended to accomplish some weird
social objective" Barbour continued:
''What this bill actually attempts is
to climb upon that hard-ridden steed,
"Share-the-Wealth," and ride him away
while the demagogues who have
pressed him sorely in the past are look
ing in the other direction.
'The bill should be laid away until
the next session of congress when the
budget for the ensuing year will be
presented. Then, in the light Of care
fully appropriated federal moneys, we
can determine how much revenue will
be needed to operate.
"Taxes can be levied deliberately as
a true revenue measure. Any other
program is not go00 business ana Is
not good government"
One change made by the house
against the Presidents wishes involved
corporations gifts to charities. Mr..
Roosevelt was firmly against letting
corporations deduct from their taxable
income any gifts to charity. Just as
firmly the house voted to let them
deduct up to 5 per cent Of their in
comes.
MYTH some reluctance the senate
w began consideration of the Walsh
bill giving the President power to
require minimum wage and maxi
mum hour standards of all firms bid
ding for government contracts. That
measure has been added to the admin
istration's must" list. The Repub-
licans were preparing to fight the bill
as another government plan for regu-
lation of private industry. They point

that the Republicans hailed 1t as
clear indication that President Roose-
welt would be defeated for reelection
next year.
Representative B. III. Smell OF New
York, minority leader, made speech
about 1t In the house in which he said:
"This Is the first time the people OF
any part Of the country have had an
opportunity to pass on the reckless
and extravagant expenditures of the
administration. They have passed up
on 1t in a very decisive manner. The
election shows the people are begin
ming to think. The handwriting Is on
the wall. From now on we will wit
ness similar reflections by the citizenry
of the lew Deal program"
Other Republican congressman spoke
in similar vein, but John ]. O'Connor,
New York Tammany Democrat, coun-
tered with the assertion that there was
a split In the Democratic party in the
Rhode Island district; while Tom Blan-
ton of Texas shouted shame on Rhode
Island because it had asked more fed
eral aid than almost any other state.
Anti-New Deal Democratic senator's,
like Gerry, Byrd and Tydings, agreed
the election was significant, but from
the White House there was no COM
ment.
Former Senator Tess Of Ohio with
surprising frankness expressed the be-
lief that the G. o. P. would have to
wait until 1910 to elect President.
Voicing the opinion of many, the vet
eran campaigner said: II don't see
how the strongest Republican without
all that money next year can beat the
weakest Democrat with nearly $5,000,-

Find Many Obstacles
in African War.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
LONDON, July 31.-Edward w.
Beattie, Of the United Press, has
arrived in East Africa, first Ameri-
can press association correspondent
to reach the scene of the prospective
war between Italy and Ethiopia
Mr.. Beattie is en- -route to Adds
Ababa. where he will direct United
Press coverage on the Ethiopian side.
He will be assisted by local CORE
spondents in Ethiopia and staff cor
respondents on the Italian side Of
the line.
Adequate communications will
present a constant challenge to Mr..
Beattie and other correspondents
who may follow him to Ethiopia.
Direct wireless contact has been
established lately with London. but
it operates only at certain hours
and is always subject to interfer-
enCe.
There are four other possible
channels of communication from
Ethiopia to the outside world. One
is by telegraph and cable via Port
Sudan. but it passes through a few
miles Of Italian territory and is
likely to be avoided
The second route is the French
Railway Telegraph paralleling the
only railroad line, from Adds Ababa
to Djioouti, and thence by cable,
wireless or airplane to stable cable
head.
Another is from Adds Ababa to
Caro- via the Ethiopian government
wireless and thence by wireless to
London.
The fourth is from Adds Ababa
via Gambela in southern Ethiopia
to Khartoum and thence to Lon
don. The latter route, however, has
20-mile gaps amidst lion-infested
country where dispatches must be
carried by native runners.
The communications companies
are likely to reap one of the rich
profits of the war. They are largely
British controlled. When other for
eign correspondents flock to Ethi-
opia or it's outskirts, as they un-
doubtedly will, thousands of words
a day are likely to be filed.
