Howe's friendship with the man
he affectionately called the boss"
began in Albany, when Mr.. Roosevelt
was a State Senator and Howe q
newspaper correspondent.
Through success, failure and near
tragedy, they we're inseparable. Howe
was with Mr.. Roosevelt when the lat
ter was Assistant Secretary Of the
Navy in the Wilson administration;
advised him in the unsuccessful drive
for the vice presidency in 1920, en-
couraged him through the attack OF
infantile paralysis and was in the
inner counsel during the 1882 cam
paign.
Victory Credited to Howe.
! After the presidency was won. Mr..
Roosevelt said Howe and James A.
Farley were responsible. above all
others, for the great victory"
Howes death came after more than
a years fight-much of it under an
oxygen tent-against heart and chest
complications.
Expressions of regret came from
leaders in public life who since early
World War days had known Howe.
Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War
while Mr.. Roosevelt was q member
of the little cabinet" said Of Howe:
His devotion to his country was his
outstanding characteristic. His death
is a great loss"
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, former N.
R. A. chieftain, telephoned the fol-
lowing comment from New York:
Gospel Hymn No. has been for
gotten-'Only an Armor Bearer'-l

Roosevelt has lost more than that"
Since 1892. Howe was constantly
close to Mr.. Roosevelt's ONCE, living
at the White House, with an office
only a few steps removed from that
Of the President.
More than q year ago his Illness
was so critical that hope was aband-
oned, but the veteran political strait
gist surprised physicians by his
stamina and apparent recovery.
Last August when White House re-
pairs necessitated cutting OF Of
electricity and plumbing, Howe was
removed to Naval Hospital. The
President made many trips to the
hospital to visit his friend, the last
only q few days ago.
Although q native Of Indiana-he
was born in Indianapolis January IA.

up observation of New York politics
that equipped him for the role he was
to play.
He grew up in Saratoga, then as
now visited frequently by politicians.
His father ran paper and the son,
naturally enough. drifted into the
newspaper business and became cor
respondent for New York dailies.
More than 80 years ago he went to
Albany as correspondent for the old
New York Herald. This post led to
q friendship such as has rarely been
been known In American political

BLACK STUDYING
LIBERTY LEAGUE
Lobby Committee Preparing
for Duel With ShouSe and
Associates.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Lobby Committee con-
centrated today on gathering data
about the American Liberty League
preparatory to calling the league s
officials to testify.
The public hearings on the league,
which is an arch foe of many New
Deal policies and has been denouncing
the Lobby Committee for its actions
In subpoenaing kilograms. are ex-
pected to be held soon.
The Capital expected notable duel
when Jouett Shouse, league president,
and other officials. face Chairman
Black across the committee table.
There we're indications that soon
after the league hearings, the commit
tee might wind up its work, especially
since both House and Senate have now
passed bills requiring lobbyists to reg
lister and disclose their financial af-
fairs. Since the bills passed the two
Houses in somewhat different form, a
conference is expected to be held this
week in an effort to reach agreement.
The committee still is studying ways
and means of raising money to pay
counsel in the fight against William
Randolph Hearst, who is seeking to
enjoin the committee from examining
his kilograms. The District Supreme
Court ruled against Hearst, but he
plans an appeal.
With the House refusing to grant
the committee $4,000 to employ a
lawyer, committee members said the
idea of asking the public to contribute
funds to carry on the fight is under
consideration.
They also said that several lawyers
who were not named, have volun-
teered to serve without pay. Col
Champion Harris of Birmingham, Ala
who was legal counsel for the COM
mittee in the District Court fight, is
still serving without compensation, il
was said, though he draws expense
money.
The resolution to appropriate s10,-
600 was introduced and passed by the
Senate because the present law limits
compensation for committee employees
to $500 q year.

This business of trying to be comic

on distress. A fat man falling down

PUBLISHERS LAUD
GAIN BY BUSINESS
Improvement Over 1885 Is
Noted With Varying De-
grees of Optimism.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 20.-Newspaper
publishers, arriving today for their
annual conventions, answered the
question "how's business?" with vary
ing degrees Of optimism.
Here for the annual meetings Of
the Associated Press and the American
Newspaper Publishers Association.
they agreed generally that business Is
better than last year.
Among those commenting on busi-
ness in their respective sections were
the following:
Joseph r. Knowland, publisher, the
Oakland, Calf, Conditions
generally in California show quite
a little improvement. We have had
good rains. more than usual. auguring
well for agriculture. Peaches, april
cots and other deciduous fruits have
been hurt by frosts. The only diff
Guilty in the general business situa-
ton is the uncertainty as to the future.
Confidence is still somewhat lacking
as to whether improvement will con-
tinue and this has a retarding in
fluence on business"
Stuart H. Perry, publisher. the
Adrian, Mich, Business
in the southern part of Michigan is
pretty well back to normal. Prospects
are pretty good for 1867 and busi-
ness generally this year should be 10
per cent better than last year, and
perhaps even better than that. Some

Minnesota. and the Dakotas have had

The farm industry is 200 to 300 per
cent better than last year. Farmers
have more money to spend and this
is reflected in the automobile sales in
Minnesota, the Dakotas and Wis
c0nSin."

last year"

in the upper peninsula and We expect
substantial increase in shipments.
which is the best barometer of busi-
ness conditions in our section"
Oscar S. Stauffer. publisher. the
Arkansas City, Kans., Traveler-"Busi-
ness is very good, considering every
thing. Kansas has been short in
moisture and consequently the crop
prospects are fair. but better than
the last three years. Industry is pick
ing up and is reflected in the in
crease in railroad travel which has
been marked"
Clark Howell. sr.. publisher, the
Atlanta nstitution-"Georgia Is en-
Joying the best business since 1880.
Retail trade the past three months
Is larger than at any time since 1880
The farmers are better fixed than
any time in the last seven years. They
are getting twice as much for their
cotton, tobacco and other farm prod
ucts than they were getting four years
ago. They are paying up their debts
with the banks and raising more OF
their own products for the home and
barn than at any time in the last 20
years"

TAXES AND RELIEF
PYCONCRESS
Few Other Measures Ex.
pected to Secure Action
of This Session.

BACKGROUND
Much to distress of most members
OF Congress, President Roosevelt In
February asked tor new tar lepis-
ldtion. Proposal was for repision OF
corporate tar system, Dith leuy on
undiStributed profits replacing er-
cess profits. corporate income and
capital stock tdreS.
House Ways and Means Commit
tee has had legislation under con-
siderdtton nearly ttDo months, orig
indl plan being modified.
Ranking NTH tdIes as obstacle
to adjournment is relief bill calling
for 81 SOC, 900, 900: noto before House
Appropriations Committee.
BY the Associated Press.
Taxes and relief still were barring
the way TO congressional adjournment
today, but virtually every other legis-
latiye proposal on the books was sched-
uled for painless death through
neglect.
First Of the big issues to reach open
debate will be the revenue measure,
now receiving final polishing from the
House Ways and Means Committee.
Speaker Byrns said at his press con-
ference today the House will start
consideration OF the bill either We'd
nesday or Thursday. probably Thurs
day"
After a conference with House lead
ers, Chairman Doughton, Democrat. of
North Carolina, and other members OF
the Ways and Means Committee, the
Speaker said debate on the measure
probably will be limited to Is hours,
hours TO side.
Bryns said the committee is ready to
introduce the bill tomorrow and may
file report on it by Tuesday night.
He added he did not expect the House
to reach vote until the first of next
week.
The Senate Finance Committee is
scheduled to hold its hearings while
House consideration is in progress.
AS finally written by the House sub
committee, the bill provides for a tax
on corporation net income graduated
according to sums withheld from dis
tribution to stockholders, temporary
extension of the existing capital stock
and excess profits taxes, levies on
foreign stockholders in domestic in
dustries and a windfall tax designed
to recapture from professors a part
Of unpaid or refunded A. A. A. proc
esslng levies.
No estimate Of the actual revenue
the bill would produce was available
today. but the committee was aiming
at S799,000,000. President Roosevelt
had recommended program that
would finance the new farm subsidy
and bonus prepayment acts, in addi-
ton to recovering losses from the out
lawing of the A. A. A. A House AD-
preparations Subcommittee will con-
tinue efforts today to complete q de-
ficiency bill carrying the 81 500 000, 600
the President asked for W. P A. next
year.
This request also faces rocky
road in the Senate, where Republicans
and some Democrats will seek a
change in the present system Of ad-
mlnistering relief expenditures.
The Navy appropriation bill will re-
main the only major supply proposal
to come out of the House committee
after the relief fund Is approved. AL
other annual appropriation bills are
either through the House. or both
Houses and awaiting conference
action.
