Pity The Dog


To the Editor Of The Times:
I don't see how anybody with
a heart could have been so in.
human as to have caused that
puppy to suffer so much that
1 saw at the Union Station
last night.
1t was tied to a post in the
baggage room, with a regular
baggage check on its neck.
The baggage man told me it
had been there three hours and
had another hour to go before
the train would be leaving that
it's mistress was taking.
Evidently believing, as do,
that a pet is not just a stupid
beast and that anybody who
owns one should certainly
treat it partly as human, it
was Whlnlng-but I'd call 1t
Screaming-so loud that one
could hear it all over the
gigantic station waiting room.
But I suppose the woman
who owns it would contend she
is very humane to it. She
would cite the fact that it was
wearing a pretty pink ribbon.

Thoughts on Death
To the Editor of The Times:
Death is the saddest thing we
have to encounter in life as it
snatches away those we love
and leaves us all alone. Moth.
ing is harder than to see an
aged parent become daily more
frail and feeble and the realiza-
tion that nothing one can do
can prevent them from leaving
us and to see them fade like
a flower in spite of the best
medical care.
Only people who have had
this experience and lost an
aged parent can understand
how vain at such a time even
religion and it's consolation can
be. AS Christians we believe
eventually we shall be reunited
with that dear father and
mother, but in the meantime
the years are so long to the
person still young and life
seems to have lost much of
its flavor when the person who
was the heart Of the home is
gone. D. A. D.

They Work Hard

To the Editor of The Times:
Government employees are
grossly maligned. There is a
persistent rumor in Washington
that those who work for Uncle
Sam have an easy time of it.
This might apply to Cabinet
m e m berS and political ap-
pointees, but I can assure you
that the $35 a week clerk more
than earns his salary.
The qualifications for such a
job are necessarily high and
are kept up to standard by
rigid Civil Service examina.
tions. The work is dull and
uninteresting and there is
plenty of it.
To those who have nothing
else to do but to go around
spreading rumors of how little
a Government employe works
I would like to recommend a
midnight shift pune hing a
comptometer.

DisIikes New Tags

To the Editor of The Times:
Let us hope that included in
the New Year resolutions made
by Traffic Director William A.
Van Duzer is one that will re-
turn to the District next year
the old system of lettered auto
mobile license tags.
The 1885 system Of numeral
plates already has evidenced it's
confusion, not only in the sim
ilarity of District and Maryland
tags, but in that Washingto-
mans are not accustomed to
reading the large figures now
displayed. Other States are rap
idly turning to the letter system
as the most convenient and ef-
fective. CONFUSED.

LEGAL CELEBRATION

To the Editor of The Times:
I think it is tribute to the
sagacity of the lawmakers of
the District and to the efforts
Of The Washington Times that
the New Year celebration in
Washington was as free from
law violations and rowdyism
as it was.
The sane, though gay, cele-
bration of the passing of 1884
was a splendid example of the
value of the District liquor law.
In night clubs and hotels
throughout the city gay revelers
celebrated with legal liquor for
the first time in many years.
But the method of selling the
spirits was such that it was not
conducive to excessive drunk.
enneSS.
It is my recollection that, The
Times campaigned for the en-
actment of the liquor law as it
was passed, and think the
results have justified the
efforts.

Talk of aboliShing Christmas

Lauds School Board Action
To the Editor of The Times:
The action of the local Board
of Education in opening up its
heretofore secret meetings is
one of the best pieces of local
news in a long time.
1 represent several asSocia-
tions civic, parent-teacher,
etc.-and there have been fre-
quent occasions when certain of
our problems have come before
the board, have been decided
and put into operation before
we knew anything about them.
I understand that, in fact,
the Board of Education itself
was not responsible for this
state of affairs, but DR.. Frank
w. Ballou, the superintendent
of schools. For many years
now, he has done what he
wanted to with the board, and
am sure that the new set-up
will take the schools from under
his thumb.
Whatever results from this
action, I feel that DR.. Hayden
Johnson, the president of the
board, should be congratulated
for his forward looking step in
prohibiting the secret meetings.

MOONEY CAMP
Groups Advocating Release OF
Noted Prisoner Divided During
Mass Meeting

SAN FRANCISCO, July 30. (U.P)
Groups supporting Tom Moon
ey's fight for freedom turned their
attention today from internal dis
senSion to the state supreme court
which is expected to announce a
decision of Importance to the cause
of the former labor leader.
THE court may hand down dur
ing its sitting its ruling on the
plea of Mooney defense attorneys
that dispositions be taken immed-
lately from four witnesses, now in
the east, two of them in hospit-
ais. The state opposed the move.
Mooney forces split at a mass
meeting here yesterday whe n
Charles Wagner, Alameda, walked
off the platform without delivering
his scheduled speech. He objected
to remarks about the American
Federation of Labor made by Leo
Gallagher, attorney Wagner didn't
like Gallagher's reference to A. F.
of L. leaders as corrupt"
Casper Bauer, presiding at the
meeting, sought to soothe injured
feelings by interpreting Gallagher'S
remarks as referring to "big lead
ers of the organization, not the
rank and file"
Harry Bridges, left wing mari
time union leader, spoke at the
gathering Bridges advocated or
ganization of labor party to en-
ter the political field.
The meeting, sponsored by the
Mooney Molders' defense League
sought to organize sentiment for 6
political strike" to be called il
event the supreme courts rejects
the Mooney application for free
dom from life imprisonment, tt
which he was sentenced in 1917
following a bomb explosion which
killed 10 persons during patriotic
demonstration here.
The court has set September
for opening of hearings on the
writ. If defeated in the state
courts, the Mooney counsel intenc
to carry their fight into the U. S
supreme court which last yeal
recommended the writ procedure
now being followed.

NICKEL -IN-SLOT SCANDAL HAS
IOWA IN POLITICAL UPHEAVAL
Charges OF Statewide Graft Protection Threatens
To Rock Entire State Administration AS Double
Investigation Threatened

but the pay-off in political impli-
cations and public sensations has
more than compensated for a loss
of small-change.
Additional spectacular reVela-
tions are promised when the Wood
bury county grand jury resumes its
inquiry on August 10. Indications
that the name of Gov. Clyde L.
Herring will figure in the inquiry
have been given by Special Prose-
cutor H. M. Havner, who has sub
poenaed bank accounts of the state
executive, E. j. Feuling, former
Democratic committee chairman,
and 16 others, many of whom are
prominent in state politics.
Many Indictments Made
Previous inquiry by the grand
jury resulted in indictments against
Attorney General Edward L. o.
Connor, his first assistant, Walter
Maley, State Agents William Ar
thur and G. w. McNaughton and
Ralph Rippey, Plymouth county
sheriff.
More than a score of lesser poll
tical lights, small-fry gamblers,
brothel keepers and liquor violators
also have been indicted. Custer
proceedings have been instituted
against Mayor w. D. Hayes, of
Sioux City. In the background of
the far-flung inquiry, politicians
see prospects of return of Iowa to
its normal, stolid, Republican ira
dition.
Democrats, sensing such possibil-
tiles, have petitioned the governor
to investigate the investigators, y
including Prosecutor Havner, for
mer Republican attorney general
and rumored gubernatorial aspir-
ant.
The petitions, presented by Sioux
City taxpayers, charged that poll
tical motives underlie the ground
jury inquiry and that a needless
tax burden is being imposed upon
Woodbury. county.

CLARK URGES
QUICK ACTION
ON NEUTRALITY

WASHINGTON, July 20. UH -
Sen. Bennett Champ Clark, Dem.)
Missouri, one of the sponsors of the
neutrality legislation, served notice
today that proponents of the pend
ing bills to keep this country out
of future wars will press for their
enactment at this session of con-
greSS.
Clark's notice was issued in the
face of administration statements
the neutrality bills, now before the
senate foreign affairs committee,
should not be allowed to delay ad-
journment or impede the must"
program.
President Roosevelt has indicated
his sympathy with the intent of
the bills, but the state department
feels they need much revision.
"The interest manifested by the
President in the early enactment
of legislation on the subject of
neutrality, designed to keep the
United States from becoming en-
broiled in future wars between for
eign nations is extremely gratify-
ing" Clark said.
1T would be unfortunate, how
ever, and might well be calamitous
in the extreme if this session
should adjourn without taking pro-
per action upon this matter. 1t is
difficult to consider how any sub
ject could be considered as of any
more pressing urgency than this.
In comparison with it, the sub
jects of the so-called must pro-
gram for this session pale into in
significance" Clark said.
IF congress should adjourn
without taking action and a gen.
eral war should break out abroad
during the recess, our government
would be as helpless in keeping us
out of war as was President Wilson
after the sailing of the first NUM-
ton ship during the World war,
Our feet will then be irrevocably
set on the path which leads to war
THE proponents of such legisla-
ton intended to press for action at
this session."

Indians Object To
Proposed Merger

Protests are being prepared by
the Yuma Indians and residents
in the east end of the valley
against the consolidation of the
Yuma reservation with the Mojave
Indians at Parker with headquar-
ters for both reservations in the
Arizona City. A meeting was held
at the reservation yesterday and
resolutions denouncing the move
are to be sent to California repre-
sentatives in Congress and other
federal officials.
Not only are the Yuma Indians
interested in this action but it is
expected that chambers of COM
merce and other civic organizations
throughout the county will be
asked to prepare resolutions pro-
testing the removal of control over
the reservation from California to
Arizona, according to information
received here today.

Picking out 10 of the best slogans
to be used in urging visitors to the
San Diego Exposition to visit Ell

difficult task than The Press be-
lieved when request to send in
slogans was made by this publica-

The response was much greater
than anticipated and choosing the
IL deemed to be most suitable, from
the number received during the
week was a job that would be diff
ficult at any time of the year but
particularly at this season when the

of seeking it.

SAFE LANDING
DEVICE READY
FOR AV|ATORS
Instruments To Be Installed At
Los Angeles And Score OF
Other Airports

LOS ANGELES, July 90. U.P)-
Los Angeles municipal airport has
been selected as one of 81 in the
United States to be equipped with
the new "fool-proof" blind landing
device DEVELOPED for transport av-
iation by the bureau of air COM
merce, Mayor Frank L. Shaw an
nounced today.
Information to the mayor came
in a letter from Representative
Thomas F. Ford who said he had
been informed by Assistant Secre-
tary of Commerce Johnson of the
selection of the airport.
Only one other airport on the
Pacific coast, the Oakland airport,
will be given a similar landing
system.
The landing device will consist of
two radio beam broadcasting sta
tions, one located 1900 feet east Of
the airport, and one two miles
east of the intersection of Palm
and Prairie Avenues, it was said
Broadcasting a narrow beam OF
radio signals, the two stations will
| provide transport planes with an
accurate route leading straight to
! the flying field. AS incoming planes
cross the broadcasting station twC
miles from the field a radio warn
ing is flashed on the pilots instru-
ment board. The pilot is given
another warning as he crosses the
| nearest radio station to the field
at an altitude of 200 feet.
His line of straight established
/ the pilot glides directly onto the
| airport runway, guided the last few
hundred feet by a pathway of Neon
| beacons.
81 am elated; this means that all
major transport lines, coastwise as
we'll as tranScontinental probably
will use the municipal airport be-
cause of its safe approach in bad
weather." Mayor Shaw said
Airport officials expected the de-
vice would be in operation within
another 60 days.
Graders and paving mixers were
at work today laying the main
runway to which the transport
planes will be guided by the radio
beams.
1t was expected the device would
be used first by Transcontinental-
Western Air, Inc, which has an
nounced its intention of moving its
western terminal from Grand Gen.
tral airport at Glendale to the
municipal airport as soon as the
runways are completed.

REVISION of
LARGE INCOME
TAX PROGRAM
BY EDWARD w. LEWIS
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July 20 UD -
Drastic revision of personal income
tax rates on incomes of $4,000 or
more was agreed on by the house
ways and means committee today
when plans were shaped to rush the
taX-the-rich bill to house passage
this week.
Chairman Robert L. Doughton
said the bill was being explained to
Republican members of the COM
mittee today, and that he hoped 70
have the $275, 900, 900 measure favor
ably reported in its present form tc-
morrow and brought up in the
house by Thursday at the latest"
Under the revised income tax
rates, a total Of s45, 100000 to $780,
100000 would be raised. Tentative
decisions to increase taxes at the
$150000 minimum income level we're
swept aside, it was revealed, IN
order to put in a new graduated
surtax schedule starting at $4,000
of net income.
Under the new revision an In
dividual with $l50.OO0 to 100000 net
income would pay a surtax OF 60
per cent instead of 54 as previously
agreet on. The existing rate in this
bracket is SO per cent.
The sweeping new graduated
schedule for example would Yield
s641 900 from an individual with
c7Eo nnn 20 ef 0nn nnn mai faaofrso
instead Of S533000 as at present.

Largest Seizure
OF Opium Reported

SAN PEDRO, Calf, July 30 UP)-
The largest seizure of opium ever
made at Los Angeles harbor was
made today when customs agents
found 500 cans of the narcotic in a
cabin of the Nippon Yaser Kaisha
liner Asama Maru and arrested
Tong Get Wing, Chinese elevator
boy. The opium was valued at $70,-
900.
Tong aroused suspicion when he
was seen trying to force open a
portfolio, according to agents, who
said he evidently planned to drop
the contraband overheard and pick
it up later in a tender.
The opium was concealed in six
sea bags, which were tied, weighted
and equipped with a floating device.
Deputy Collector of Customs G. O..
Miller said Tong admitted bringing
the contraband aboard at Hong
Kong.

IN K|DNAP INC

TUCSON, Ariz., July 20 U.H "A
Tucson mechanics story that he

two men who have been under
suspicion in connection with the
