BONUS BILL IS
GIVEN SENATE
Harrison Plan Introduced;
Believed to Have Support
of Roosevelt.
Ru United Press

ID y CHttfU ftco
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE
compromise bonus plan worked out
by Senator Pat Harrison Cd, Miss &,
an Administration leader in the Sem
ate, was introduced in Congress this
afternoon.
President Roosevelt withheld
comment on the bill, but it was be-
lieved he would accept it if passed.
Some representatives of veterans at
once opposed it, but it was believed
they may later accept it in view of
the Presidents determination to
veto more expensive plans.
Mr.. Harrison would make bonus
certificates mature in 1888 instead
of 1945. They could be converted
Immediately into 3 per cent bonds.
Veterans who wanted cash right
away could sell the bonds, losing
only the interest they otherwise
could obtain until 1898. Mr.. Har-
riSon said this would cost $500 000,-
600 more than the present bonus
law, but far less than the Patman
bill, passed by the House, to pay the
bonus with $2,5OO,OOO,OOO in new
money.
In the House, the battle of the
1ownsendies to substitute their
plan for the comparatively small
old-age pensions TO the Administra-
ton social security bill approached
a decision. Speaker Joseph w.
Byrns predicted they would muster
mot more than 81 or 55 votes" De-
bate should end tomorrow, with vot-
ing then beginning on amendments.

GARDEN CITY, Kas., April IT.
Reports of a dust storm raging at
$4,000 feet, almost in the strato-

through the West today.
Miss Laura ingalls,, aviator, said
that dust was so thick at high alti-

properly. Her experience indicated
to dust-wearied and dust-victim-
lied people the terrific strength of
the storms that have laid waste
thousands of farms in eastern Colo

2. Public Works Administrator
Harold L. Ickes ridiculed the
Senator's share the-wealth" cam
paign and threatened to rescind
Louisiana construction allotments.
Long, entrenched in the state
capitol at Baton Rouge, answered
with characteristic attacks on the

"BIast Back His Ears"
He asserted he would return to
the Senate Monday to "blast back

Mr.. Hopkins made Frank Peter
man, anti-Long factionist, his
Louisiana relief director. Federal
funds will go direct to him for ex-
penditure and not to Gov. o. K
Allen, the customary procedure.
The appointment of Mr.. Peterman
who, as state Senator, voiced oppo-
sition to Long some time ago, will
prevent the Kingfsh from playing
any part in caring for Louisiana S
needy.
Mr.. IckeS' barbed invectives came
after he had been advised that Long
was pushing bill through the
assembly creating a board to direct
expenditure of all Federal money
loaned or granted municipalities for
construction projects.

''No PWA money is going to be
used to build up any share the

Legislature is going to dictate to
us how We'll run our program in

Long, he said, evidently is going
to share the wealth by keeping
people from Notwithstanding it a
new and profound economic theory -
Belief that Mr.. Ickes' words were
approved by President Roosevelt was
strengthened when the PWA d.
rector, after a Commute conference
with the chief executive, matched
Long in swearing.
Il Simply was following a damned
good precedent in threatening to
rescind Louisianas allotments," he
said. II know it is damned good

Refers to Old Action
He referred to his action two
years ago when Gov. Joseph Ely
asked him to make Massachusetts a
lump PWA ALLEGATION and allow a
state board to administer it's ex-
penditure. Mr.. Ickes refused.

FROST DRIVES
FRUIT CROP TO
VERGE OF RUIN
FoodStuff Prices to Rise,
Is Fear Following
Severe Freeze.

Indiana growers and housewives
took another staggering loss last
night as heavy, extensive frcsts in
creased the damage caused by the
late spring blizzard of the night
before.
The crops already were crippled
by the driving gales and sub
freezing temperature, but last
nights severe frost struck another
terrific blow that is expected to
cause foodstuff prices to rise.
The losses were counted greatest
among the 100000 peach crop, the
large apple crop, spring flowers and
shrubs, early vegetables, plums and
pears. Oats, wheat and hay were
reported badly retarded.
Housewives with some knowledge
of economics of food supply could
see many ways in which the freeze
would result in high prices when
the equalizing process sets in.
Milk Prices May Increase
Aside from fruit and vegetables,
the price Of milk may increase,
dairy farmers felt, because hay was
affected seriously by the cold. The
eight counties surrounding Indian
apolis that form the local milk shed
annually average 724,276 tons of hay
production. This is fed to dairy
cattle.
Warm spring rains coming in
from the southwest are expected to
aid the retarded crops materially.
Although sunshine is badly needed
to ripen the crops, there is no in
mediate prospect of sunshine, the
United states Weather Bureau here
said.
Back of the normally warm wave
gradually drifting in from the
Southwest, which brought the tenn
perature here up to Al at noon, is
a cold area on the Pacific Coast that
may follow through to the East,
forecasterS said
Much Seed Is Killed
Beets, canning cabbage, radishes,
alfalfa, young clover, peaches, pears,
apples, plums, shrubs, oats and
wheat all felt the devastating effect
of first the lashing winds, freezing
temperatures and finally the frost.
Much terminated seed was reported
killed last night.
The frost hit all sections of the
state except some portions OF the
Southwest section. The large peach
growing counties, Knox, Daviess,
Lawrence, Jackson, Monroe, Jeffer-
son, Sullivan, Gibson and Warrick,
with an annual total of 1921
bushels of peaches, felt the frost
with varying intensity.
Apple Crop Hard Hit
The apple crop, which had es-
capped heavy damage from the wind
and cold, was reported as attacked
severely by the frost. Many apples
are grown in Morgan, johnson and
Marion counties.
indianapolis, Terre Haute, Paoli,
Columbus, Cambridge City, FIT.
Wayne and Marion had the most
damaging frosts, the Weather Bu-
reau reported.
The beautiful spring flora will be
particularly damaged, because little
effort was made to save it from
frost and cold. The blossoms on
unguarded fruit trees near Indian
apolis were wilted and fallen off
today. Many early spring flowers
planted by householderS were killed.

in his real estate taxes for three OF
the four years he has been in office.
The unpaid taxes on IA Center
Township lots and on Mr.. GrOs-
sart's residence on N. Meridian-st

the auditors office, and include 1882
and 1884
The total sum delinquent is in
excess of $4,000. Mr.. Grossart's SAL
airy as auditor is $500 a month.
The 1888 taxes on these properties
we're paid, the records show. The
payment was made in November,

the 1888 General Assembly provided
shat 1882 taxes payable in 1889
must be paid before prior delinquent
cies could be Jumped and satisfied

provision by paying taxes in 1888,
accepted the moratorium arrange
ment for the 1880 and 1881 delin-
quencies.

show, though the 1894 delinquencieS
are so entered.
Law Is Cited

1T shall be the duty Of the
treasurer of each q. county to de-
duct from any money due from such
county to any person whose name

of such delinquent taxes
The next section of the law deal
ing with the failure of the treasurer
to perform this duty reads:
ANY officer who shall fail to per-
form the duties imposed by the two
preceding sections of this act shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor and on
conviction thereof shall be fined in
any sum not less than 10 nor more
than 100 dollars"
