by Fred w. Sargent. president Of the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway Co..
who described the trade program as
"altruistic" and linked it up with the
decline in farm prosperity, pointing
out that food product imports into
this country last year were nearly
half billion dollars in excess Of eX-
ports. This. he emphasized, cuts farm
buying power.
At the outset of his speech. Secre-
tary Hull. who thanked the chamber
for supporting the reciprocal principle,
declared that the disturbance of
worldwide economic conditions. in
evidence since the war as the various
nations fought for commercial supre-
macy, has been intensified in the
past six years. This country. he con-
tinued, through the medium of the
"ill-starred' Smoot -Hawley tariff act,
had contributed its part to the condi-
tion.
Attacks Politicians.
The afternoon session of the cham
Der heard bitter attack on political
officeholders by Fitzgerald Hall, presi-
dent of the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis Railway, who asserted
that "the real menace to free America
Is its office holding oligarchy"
I'VE have many excellent men
local as well as national-in the pub
lie service" Hall said, but as a
whole the Office e-holding class is in
efficient, selfish. ambitious and
cowardly."

to an orderly program looking to a
balance of the Federal budget just as
soon as the needs and abilities of our
people make that possible, and there
after upon a steady reduction in the
public debt"
Additional Money Needed.
Then recalling events which had cut
holes in the Presidents budget-the
bonus and the Supreme Courts A. A. A.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT said they re-
quired additional permanent revenue
of $500, 900 1000 year and $5l7 ,0O0. 900
of temporary taxes to recoup for this
years lost processing tax revenue.
He noted President Roosevelt,s three
recommendations for taxes to raise
this amount of revenue and said the
House bill gave effect to only two of
them.
The bill thus fully provides the
$500, 900 900 needed to take care of the
permanent agricultural program and
the annual financing of the payment
of the soldiers bonus" he said 1T
also provides for the first year of a
three-year program for recouping the
loss of s5l7, 100000 of processing taxes
lost during the fiscal year 1886. How
ever, it does not provide any temporary
revenues for the two succeeding years
to make up the balance Of the $751;
100000 of temporary revenues de-
sired"
Calling to the committees attention

for processing taxes on a broader
base, but with lower rates than under
the A. A. A.-Morgenthau said. Il

revenue to your attention again"

should have no place in the legisla-
tion of a period of economic recovery
This bill has been brought forward
without consideration of the reduc-
tions which should be made in ex-
penditureS. There would not be the
revenues which have been indicated.
The chief features are not designed as
means Of taxation but are attempts to
regulate the management of American
corporations at time when in the in
terests of recovery and unemployment
business enterprise should be free from
arbitrary imposition"
Other Resolutions.
Other resolutions to go before the
chamber included the following:
Opposition to any curb on the courts.
Opposition to Government compe-
tition with private industry.
Calling for an investigation of the
effects of trade agreements in general
izing concessions to other countries
with particular reference to their ef-
feet on American agriculture, and ac-
ton to halt any prejudicial operation
Encouragement of housing pro-
gram by private industry and the ter
mination of emergency measures"
Rehabilitation of the merchant

Trade Revival Necessary.
A revival of world trade through
lowering of trade barriers is necessary
to halt the ''virulent disease" of eco
nomic distress. social unrest, dictator
ships and war, Hull declared in his
address.
The principal insurance against such
catastrophe. he continued, is the policy
Of reciprocal trade agreements which
this country is seeking to spread
"The firm determination on the part
of the Government of the United
States to reaSsert the rule of equality

greatest single hope that the world
may still be spared the tragedy of

COURT MEASURE
HEARINGS PUSHED
House Group Plans Action
Next Week in Effort to
Expedite Bill.

Moving swiftly at the request Of
Chairman Norton of the House Dis
trict Committee, special subcom-
mittee, headed by Representative
Nichols, Democrat of Oklahoma, made
preparations today to begin public
hearings early next week on a bill
to modernize Juvenile Court procedure.
Slated, at one time, for the con-
ereSsional graveyard, the measure has
suddenly taken a new lease on life
as a result Mrs. Norton's ministra-
tions, and indications are now it
may reach the House calendar in time
for consideration before adjournment
OF Congress.
For several months, the bill was
held in the Judiciary Subcommittee
of which Representative Palmisano
Democrat of Maryland, is chairman.
He refused to hold hearings on it
until the Commissioners reported
whether they approved contemplated
far reaching changes.
When the Commissioners approved
the bill with a score or more of
amendments, PalmiSano referred it
back to the full committee without
recommendations. together with an
explanation that the Democratic pri-
mary in Baltimore May 4 would pre-
vert him from giving it any attention.
Hopeful of saving the measure, Mrs.
Norton appointed the special commit
tee, and urged it to begin hearings
as soon as possible. She said she re-
guarded the bill as one of the most
important pending in her committee,
because it would modernize the present
'ante-deluvian" procedure in Juvenile
Court
Serving with Nichols on the special
subcommittee will be Representative
Randolph Of West Virginia, Schultz
OF Indiana, Democrats; and Dirksen
OF Illinois, and Brewster of Maine,
Republicans.

LOST LAWSUIT
FATAL T014

IsTANBUL G.N.sJ. A mass
murder of IA people, including
seven children, has been charged
to a Turkish peasant and his
nephew, of the village Aksum.
The two men considered they
had been wronged in a law suit
they lost and swore to be re-
venged.
They waited until the whole
village was collected at a we'd
ding ceremony, entered the house,
mercilessly slew six people with
guns and knives and escaped.
On the day of their victims
funeral they reappeared, shot
dead two more villagers and a
child and again made a success
full getaway. While escaping they
wounded two men and a woman.
Several days later they re.
turned and slaughtered another
villager, his wife and their three
children.
A large force of armed police
was at once dispatched to bring
them back dead or alive.
They brought them back dead,
for they put up a desperate re-
sistance.

According to recent statistics
released by the department Of Var,
which is the most heavily-wooded
region of this section, more than
100000 acres Of forest have have

WIFE TO JOIN
GOV: LAND0N
INST. LOUIS

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 80 Q.N.sO.
Mrs. Theo Cobb Landon, wife Of
the Republican nominee for presi-
dent, has been deluged with con-
gratulations on her decision to
leave here today to join her hus-
band in st. Louis for his closing
campaign address.
It will be her first participation
in the presidential campaign. On
her way East she will be joined
at Lawrence, Kan, by Peggy
Anne Landon, the governors
19-year-old daughter, who is q
student at Kansas University.
Peggy will go along to st. Louis
to greet her father and it will
mark her first appearance in the
campaign. Both Mrs. Landon and
Peggy, however, attended the mott
fication exercises here last July.
One Of Mrs. Landon's closest
friends revealed today that it was
her insistence which kept her out
Of the political limelight until now.
Her attitude was:
"PeOple know I have two small
children at home to look after.
What kind of mother would
be with them in Topeka while 1
was riding on the back end Of
train?"
This informant decl~ red Mrs.
Landon communicated practically
every night with the Governor by
telephone.
In the public eye at Cleveland
where her father was nominated
for the presidency in June and on
his subsequent vacation trips in
Colorado, Peggy Landon returned
to the University Of Kansas in
September and has followed the
same life as any other 19-year-old
coed.
Curiosity seekers among the
4,000-odd university students have
been few and as a whole the stu
dent body has allowed Miss Ian
don to enjoy college life as other
girls and not as one whose father
may enter the White House next
January.
She dates several different boys
in the university. Last weekend
she attended a fraternity masquer-
ade ball attired as Bohemian
girl and her costume was men
toned in the society column of
the university paper as one of the
most attractive there.
