LANDON ON TAXATION
New YORK TImes

Governor Landon's address at
Buffalo is probably the most effective
he has made thus far in the cam
paign. His comments on the FEEDER
al Governments financial problem
were quiet in tone; they were put
forward In very simple, almost ele-
mentary terms, but they showed a
sound grasp of the problem, and
they attacked the Roosevelt admin
istration at admittedly its weakest
point.
Governor Landon cannot be accus-
ed Of ignoring the dimensions Of his
problem. "We have huge RESPONSE
bilities," he comedies, 'that we must
continue to meet" For that reason
he refuses to promise that he will
balance the budget overnight. But he
is convinced that as long as the Gov
ernment continues to pay "half Of
its bills with borrowed money
we are living in a FOOLS paradise"
What he does promise Is adherence
to principles that might rapidly
make q balanced budget possible.
Milford chronicle., 1936-10-09
SURE, SAYS LANDON

In the winter of 1928 a presi-
dent, defeated for reelection and
soon to step out, invited the man
who had beaten him, to confer on
policies to cope with depression.
The invitation was rejected.
President Roosevelt, candidate for
reelection, now asks Governor Ian
don, his rival for the presidency, to
confer with him on policies to cope
with the drought. This time the invi-
tatiOn is accepted.
The Kansas governors quick ac-
ccptance of the Roosevelt invitation
will, one believes, meet general ap-
proval. IF there is any meeting any
where at any time of benefit to Kan
sas," says Mr.. Landon, II will attend
as governor of Kansas"
Neither the machinery Of relief nor
the spirit which animates it bears
any party label. The president has
said that his forthcoming visit to the
region of long dry days has no re-
latiOn to his campaign for re-elec-
lion. His Republican opponent could
easily have found an excuse for not
attending this drought conference.

partially interesting TO Mr.. James
Derriekson who thought that all the
automobiles in the world were hold
ing a parade for his benefit. Mrs.
Ida did not miss an opportunity, long
sought by most women, she went
shopping at Macy's department store
the largest of its kind in the world,
and then also included a trip through
Saks & Company, and McCreery's
on Thirty-fOurth Street. On includ-
ing a trip to the Aquarium they then
had to view Broadway at night,
where the wonderful display of
lights turn night to day. This of
course took several days to cover,

panied home by Mr.. and Mrs. Magee
who will spend several days here
with relatives.

SABOTAGE USED
 IN DAIRY HERD

Washington, Feb. IT - (UP - Department of agriculture officials today investigated suspected sabot- age which they said was designed to ruin the high standing of the department's national research cen. ter in Maryland. Some officials said they were convinced that sabotage was responsible for the recent spread of tuberculosis in one of the prize dairy herds at the Beltsville. Md. center and for the slaughter of two young COWS by an apparently maniacal killer.
 The recent disclosure of tuber- culosis in the dairy herd caused wide comment because of the repu' tation of the departments research center, and officials were at a loss to explain the trouble until their inquiry indicated sabotage.
 It was emphasized that the tuber- culosis, which struck 82 cows almost simultaneously, involved no danger to the public because the center's milk supply was not retailed.
