Christians Blamed.

In early Christian times the Roman
rabble blamed the Christians for
every untoward event that happened,
even that Christians dominate the
state and that they are everywhere.
For every damage done, the Christians
were blamed. When the Tiber over
flowed its banks, drought came. an
earthquake, a famine, the cry always
arose: Throw the Christians to the
lions"

Her income tax payments totaled

Against this, $30,333,o45.12 was

This disparity that exists in fed

sent to the senate.
Final house action, by vote of
7S for and 26 against, not includ-

mediately to the senate finance

Senate leaders expect a further

Watchman will shortly inaugurate

by The Carolinas, Inc, with view

Present plans contemplate

day by the house, and, as the path
opened, plans crystalized rapidly
for spending the huge fund.
Most active in the plan-shaping
was Harry L. Hopkins, the relief
administrator. Strong indications
appeared that he would have a
heavy hand in the new system,
either as member or chairman of
an administrative board composed
of others now prominent in the

velt-opposed amendments attached
to the bill by the senate. By a
crushing 263-to-10s vote it sub
dued a silver bloc attempt to force
acceptance Of all amendments by
the other branch.
Thus the bill was sent to con-
ference with the senate, with con-
ftfees from both sides cunning
particularly for the Thomas silver
Imitation rider.
Almost simultaneously there was
activity in half dozen different
quarters for throwing the big
