LITTLE ROCK. Ark, August 90
Senator Joseph T. Robinson, praising
New Deal revenue legislation, said last
night Gov. ALI M. Landon's Buffalo
speech showed "the Republicans are

to frighten the consumer"
"The G. O. p. always adopts these

the Senate majority leader asserted In

The Republican presidential nominee,
said Robinson, sought Ito alarm the
man of moderate means by limiting
that the country Is overburdened by q
huge public debt that must be paid by

Business and industry ''have gone

Judge Adams said he could surmise
the real facts, but on the evidence
before him he must fnd the young

The girl admitted meeting Davis

guard In his home today, but found II
lacked power to expel the one-time
Russian revolutionary leader until
another nation volunteers to admit
him.
Trotzky's two secretaries were de-
ported today, but it was learned
authorities had omitted to ascertain
that the former Soviet war minister
had a return visa when he arrived
here last Summer from France.
Consequently. authorities said,
Trotzky would have to remain in
Norway until another haven Is offered.
The secretaries, Erwin Wolf and
Jan Van Heinort, both said to be
French citizens, departed by rail for
the border, accompanied by police.
The Farmer party's leading news
paper, Nationen. alleged that Trotz-
Ky had refused to sign conditions per-
hitting him to remain that would
have been acceptable to the Labor
(government) party.
The Labor cabinet, the newspaper
stated, thus was provided with .
pretext for interning the exile to
free itself Of criticism for harboring
Trotzky, in view of the midi October
elections.
Trotzky and his wife were ordered
under guard after Q long conference
Of government officials.

early days Of the Russian Soviet adj
mitted sending letters to followers Of
several European countries. authorities
said, advising revolutionary activity.
He appeared on the balcony Of his
home for q breath of afr accompanied
by q policeman, but withdrew quickly
when he saw several onlookers nearby.
Trotzky told q crowded court room
yesterday he had sent letters to France
and other countries counseIing revo-
lutionary activity. His testimony was
heard at the trial Of i've Norwegian
Nazis accused OF raiding his home In
an unsuccessful attempt to obtain
subversive documents.
Trotzky's detention resulted after he
renounced terms Of his agreement to
refrain from political activity.

C. Of C. Discusses Taxes.
Along with its business review, which
cited the rise In excise tax receipts.
the Chamber Of Commerce Review,
discussing possible congressional activi-
ty in the next session, said:
rTaxation can not very well escape
attention, for by the end Of the first
seven months of 1887, there will expire
q whole list Of excise taxes, out of
which more than $300,000,000 was
realized in the last fiscal year which
closed on June go"
Saying the list includes taxes on
gasoline, radio sets, mechanical re-
frigerators, firearms and automobiles
and parts, 1t continued:
IF there Is added an attempt at
revision Of income taxes and the like,
the subject of taxation may again
assume large proportions in the con-
gressional session, thus continuing It's
recent annual role"
The Joint Congressional Committee
on Internal Revenue Legislation has
"a heavy schedule before it during tire
Autumn" the chamber said, if it is
to find inequities and unnecessary ad-
ministrative difficulties in present taxes
dnd to determine which levies have dis
advantages outweighing their revenue
yield.
1.-THE field which must be explored
for the purpose Of identifying ineqult-
able or undesirable aspects of Federal
taxation has become large" it said,
"and is probably much larger than is
yet realized by many taxpayers.

greatly In need Of general reconsidera-
ton before the revenue act Of 1896
was added to It."

They will never be able to handle
the dollar.
It is well for farm children to be
given such things as pigs and calves
or small field for the boys, and
chickens or a garden plot for the
girls. The results of their care and
labor and the money earned will de-
velop more business ability in them
than all the coaching you may do in
later life.
You Can't Be An "Escapist"
When you're through poking fun
at the city man, who is now your
closest neighbor farmer, and his
methods of operation, look and see
if there isn't something you can
learn from him.
No one enjoys more than I do
however, to see city man and hi:
family take an abandoned farm
raise their own radishes, cure theil
own beef, and make struggling eff
fort to live almost entirely on the
products of few acres. They should
be warned that such schemes might
work out for short time. They are
not practical for year-in, year-oui
existence in the country. Even you

or / do not attempt to live that way.
A kitchen garden and poultry yard
will help very appreciably with the
family table, but they will not pay
the taxes, run car or heat tie
house. To produce laboriously what,
by other methods, you might acquire
easily is to forfeit the leisure and
variety of experience which should
be the chief reasons for living in the
country.
The day of the lone and indepen-
dent farmer is passing. The young
city man who may be getting into
his stride today, who is not content
with the sort of business with which
he is growing into, but who is am
bilious to go to farming not as an es-
cape but an accomplishment, must
think not only of his own problem
but that of every neighbor he may
have in the country, and his motto
should be-"in union there is
strength"

John and little Abe have their rab-
bit traps all set, and this morning

safe him for. Every farm boy should
set rabbit boxes; every city boy
should beg to go to the farm for
just one rabbit season and get the
thrill of taking rabbit from box
he has set-nothing else will provide
one. This mornings experience made
me wish to be boy again. The
truth of the matter is, was one
again.
Use The Glorious Sunshine
With the days growing shorter and
the winter approaching, we are Civ
ing close attention to those factors
which are essential to health, COM
fort and egg production. One Of
these essentials is sunlight, which,
of course, is mighty hard to get into
the house in the colder climate.
Even when boy with my flock Of
forty hens, / observed that unless l
let the birds out in the glorious sun
light once each day production be-
came almost nil. Did I pay close at
tention to egg production in the fall
and winter? You may be assured I
did fer the only income had as
farm boy was lalf the income from
the sale of eggs produced by these
forty or fifty hens. Mother owned
the hens and managed to talk my
father out of enough corn and oats
to feed them. Mother bought with
her half of the income all the laying
mashes we used. I had good thing
of it, but how I loved those hens
and watched their every need.
