MISHONGNOVI, Ariz., August "a
The Hopi Indians felt they had
pleased their gods yesterday with their
nine-day prayer for rain.
Hardly had the antelope dance, first
public rites Of the ancient ceremonies
started, than rain fell and drenched
the parched fields of the tribesmen.
The ceremonies end tonight with
the weird snake dance for which hun
dreds of reptiles have been gathered
by the Indians. With a snake be-
tween his teeth, each snake priest will
circle the village plaza four times.
The reptiles then are placed in a
circle of holy meal and released to
carry the prayers for rain to the I'M
derground gods. Hundreds Of specta-

Tongue Slip Blamed.

A certain senatorial leader Deld-
bored newsmen en- masse for print
ing the surrender story. He denied
it ardently, adding something like
this:
at uould be all right il the
House surrendered and the Presi-
dent accepted the bill. but it
irould neuer do to say publicly
that the President surrendered"
That was all the newsmen wanted
to know They laughed of denial,
reprinted the surrender story.
Tricky Compromise. D..
The final compromise on the hold
ing companies bill was the trickiest
piece of legislation of the session. On
its face, it appeared to provide mod
crate regulation, but lawyers found
one little word, and" placed in
way to change the whole legal mean.
ing Of the legislation. Also a new
phrase, single integrated public util-
ity system" was coined and an am
biguouS definition Of it written into
the bill.
The result is that the severity Of
the new law will depend entirely on
the personnel of the Securities Elk
change Commission which will inter-
pref it. That means 1t looks bad for
the holding companies.
Back Talk TO President.
Congressman generally speak to the
President in private as demurely as
an office boy talks to the boss. 1t
was an unusual scene therefore when
nine congressman (six Democrats, two
Republicans, one Progressive) romped
all over Mr.. Roosevelt the other day
at a White House gab-fest on the
neutrality bill.
Democrat Sission OF Whitesboro,
N. Y, holly informed the boss
that if the neutrality bill failed
the President alone, OF oil people
In the Nation, would be respon-
able.
Democrat Maverick of San Antonio,
Tex, answered the Presidents re-
quest for broader discretionary power
by saying, in effect, you amt a-going
to get it."
1t isn't the heat, it's the humidity.
Tax Estimate Low.
The story is going around that the
New Dealers purposely ulderesti-
mated revenues expected from the
new tax bill so Congress would not
realize how drastic the bill is.
1t is true that the estimates are
ultra conservative, but not for the
reason mentioned. Tar experts
really held dotDn their estimates
because they do not believe that
large corporations, large incomes
and large estates will meekly sub
init to the ne1D rates. They be-

substantially avoided one tDay or

Therein you will find a secret de-
feet of the whole existing income tax
system. Rates on the rich have al
ways been high, but the rich do not
pay them. The rich have opportuni-
ties for tax avoidance not available to
men on salaries or to professional
people like doctors and lawyers. The
incomes OF people who earn their
money always get soaked.
Buck Passing Slip.
