scarce as a needle in haystack, the choice

main three types of farms. The
state farm which takes in about 5
per cent, ranging in size from just
a few hundred acres to giant farms
upwards to 100000 acres or more.
On these farms the workers are
paid according to the type of work
they do, and all the crop goes to
the state. The majority Of the
farms, about IS per cent, are col
lective farms, ranging in size from
several thousand acres to several
hundred thousand acres. On these
farms the workers form a sort of
cooperative organization wherein
each gets a share of the crop ac-
cording to his or her total work
done on the farm during the year.
Thus a good worker would receive
a larger share than the worker
who was not so ambitious or well
trained.
The remaining 25 per cent or
so of the farms are individual
farms, consisting of only as much
land as the farmer and his fam
lily can farm by themselves, since
they are not allowed to hire any
, one to work for them and thus
have the possibility of making a
profit on that workers labor
, These individual farmers, as well
as the collectives, pay small pei
cent of the crop, usually about {
or 10 per cent, to the state foI
, the use of the land. Individual
4 farmers may stay on their land as
/ long as they wish to continue tt
' farm it themselves, providing il
! would not be needed in some col
! lective or state farm. They car
: not buy or sell the land.

AGREEMENT NEAR
ON TAX BILL RATES
Doughton Hopes Measure
Will Be Reported by
End of Week.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Indications of a near agreement on
important rates in the ADMINISTRATION
tax bill emerged last night from the
House Ways and Means Committee.
Leaving the conference of commit
tee Democrats, Chairman Doughton,
Democrat of North Carolina said a
tentative bill probably would be ready
for the full committee Tuesday or
Wednesday, and the measure reported
out before the end Of this week.
He said the President was as anx-
ious as Congress for adjournment and
that every effort would be made to
expedite the tax measure, the major
barrier.
we are doing our best to get out
the bill and We feel certain We can
do it this week" he asserted. We
realize that Congress is nervous and
restless and want to reassure the
country that there will be no undue
delay"
Committee sources asserted outright
that no decision had been reached,
even tentatively. on how far the taxes
should dip into inheritances and the
larger incomes. The full committee
is to meet Monday to discuss some
points of divergent opinions.
Doughton emphasized the tentative
draft would be of little significance,
merely providing something tangible
from which to start writing the bill
in final form.
Some committeeman were speaking
Of a bill to raise as much as $780,
100000, but others talked of a top
of $3.50, 000,000
Talk circulated Of tying up CAPT.
tai stock tax with an excess profits
tax. One member said the former
not only would be a source Of revenue,
but a method of preventing evasions
of excess profits levies.
A number of committeeman, includ-
ing Doughton, are looking with some
favor on substituting excess profits
taxes for the graduated taxes on cor
porate incomes sought by the Presi-
dent.
Doughton disclosed that several
committeeman were at odds on Inherit
ances at yesterdays session of Demo-
Gratis, but another source said only
minor differences were discussed. One
was the point that blood relatives
should be given a greater exemption
than noh-relatives.

pALO ALTO, Calf, July 20.-Whils
political observers pondered today the
significance of coincidental visits of
prominent Republicans to the home
Of Herbert Hoover, the former Presi-
dent and a group of friends spent the
week end at q Northern California
resort section.
He will return here tomorrow, his
secretary, Paul Sexson. said. prepared
to greet Gov. Harry w. Nice Of Mary
land. Other visitors scheduled to call
later in the week are Patrick j. Hurley,
former Secretary of War; James M.
Beck, former solicitor general, and Col.
Frank M. Knox. Chicago publisher.
Mr.. Hoover's departure late yesterday
for the annual Bohemian Grove con-
clsve came three days earlier than
expected.
Political Import Denied.
Season today reiterated the absence
OF political import In the arrival OF the
Hoover guests, declaring it was Just a
coincidence and that the visits will be
purely social.
However, the Republican County
Central Committee Of San Francisco,
in announcing Gov. Nice's address
there Monday, said he would arrive
fresh from q political conference with
(former) President Hoover at his
Stanford University home"
Since Mr.. Hoover has thus far de-
clined to commit himself on the 1885
political situation, some observers were
Of the opinion the visits might be
preludes to a definite announcement
on the subject. But there were no
oficial indications in that respect.
Gradually Expressing Views.
Following his FIRST utterance since
the 1882 campaign, on "the challenge
to liberty" Mr.. Hoover has gradually
returned to public expression OF
opinion.
Several months ago he came out
for q return to the gold standard.
Later he spoke against public trends
allegedly inimical to individual liberty
The later pronouncement was made
at q Fourth OF July celebration at
Grass Valley. There, among the hardy
men with whom he once worked as =
student mining engineer. the. former
President called for a revival of the
early American spirit of freedom.

NEW OIL SCANDAL
THREAT HURLED
Fate of Two Big California
Deposits Rests With
Gov. Merriam.
By the Associated Press.

SACRAMENTO, Calf, July 90
The fate Of two great California oil
deposits rested in the balance of law
and politics tonight, with partisans
in one instance limiting OF q possible
scandal greater than Teapot Dome. "
Before Gov. Frank r Merriam was
q bill permitting the State to lease
rich oil-bearing tidelands to private
companies for development on a
royalty basis by "whipStock" drilling,
that is, sinking of wells at sharp
angle into adjacent pools.
With some independents contend
ing the measure would give the
Standard Oil Co. monopoly on the
great Huntingdon Beach field. the issue
was whether the Governor would sign
it before midnight tonight or permit
1t to die by pocket veto.
Elk Hills Suit Being Drawn.
At the same time. ii Los Angeles.
John w. Preston, associate justice of
the State Supreme Court. was work.
ing on a suit to be filed by the Gov
eminent seeking recovery of title to
two sections of land in the equally
rich Elk Hills field from the Standard
Oil and General Petroleum compa-
MES. The value Of the land was esti-
mated at $4,000, 900 10 $4,000, 900.
The bill before Gov. Merriam would
lift a ban against drilling on the
State tidelands. The Standard Oil
Co. OF California owns the nttoral
area there.
William j. Kemnitzer, representing
independent companies, recently told
the Governor the bill was loaded with
a potential scandal greater than
Teapot Dome" He said the signing
of 1t might invite a referendum
movement and a recall against Mer-
RAM.
Three Committees 10 Probe.
In formulating his decision the
Governor reputedly considered not
only the political possibilities. but also
the fact that three State legislative
committees are to investigate tide
land drilling and report on the stu
alton to the 1887 Legislature.
The Governments Elk Hills case.
1t was said, will be based on the con-
tention that the land was granted to
the State by the National Govern
ment in 1888 and passed into private
ownership illegally because the grant
was made on the condition that the
land was not of mineral character.

Giacomo, 3 miles from here.
Two Of the nine passengers killed
were Gerard and Virginia Phillips,
whose address and nationality could

A police investigation showed that
the plane. which apparently was seek

The ship, en- route from Frankfort
on-Main to Milan. appeared out OF
clouds Of fog, apparently having motor
trouble, and tried to land in the mar
row valley at San Giacomo. There
was no suitable field, however, and it
struck trees.
Police found Miss or Mrs. Phillips
still living. but she died Just as they
pulled her clear Of the wreckage.
A squad of gendarmes was detailed
to guard the debris. The bodies were
taken to q nearby chalet.
The airline announced service over
the Amsterdam Frankfort Milan route
would be operated temporarily by

After several days Of search the
burned hulk Of the plane. which had
taken the handicap in the England

fore, was found 10 miles south of
