WASHINGTON. - Although the
w national social security pro-
gram calls for no tax collections
until next year, racketeers are
starting early. Both employers
and emrloyes already are being
victimized through misrepresenta-
tions Of its requirements. %:
One racket is the persuasion of
employers that reports required
from them are so complicated and
difficult as to call for installation
of special accounting systems-and
even for special business machines.
Some agents arc selling systems

Board, whereas there actually
aren't any special authorized or
approved systems.
At social security Headquarters
it is insisted that no more account.
ing is required for federal unem-
ployment tax records than the ordi-
nary employer goes through in
compiling his payroll. The facts
required are Chiefly the number of
employees, names, amouri of mon.

worked.

We should use the intelligence

Wyoming Senator Asserts
Army Could Relieve
Drought Crisis.
By the Associated Press.

CAREYHURST, Wyo., July Is
Senator Robert D. Carey. Republican
wyoming, said yesterday he had asked
President Roosevelt to authorize pur-
chase of wyoming horses for the
Army to relieve the drought-dried
range of their grazing.
The Senator said he also had sug-
sested to the President that the Fed
eral Government transfer live stock
from Wyoming drought areas to green
pastures in other States.
Carey said his recommendations
we're made a week ago, but so far
he has received no reply.
Northeastern Wyoming stockmen
will have to have some aid quickly in
this crisis" said the sun-bronzed Sen
stor, himself rancher.
Most of them have no money to
buy feed or to ship stock to pastures.
It would be better for the Government
to ship the animals to pasture than
to try to bring in feed.
BY being shipped to pasture the
animals would have chance to fat
ten and the stockmen would thus OBJ
tain better prices. Cattle will lose $50
pounds or more each If kept in the
drought area. Heavy shipment Of
cattle to market, because of the
drought, would demoralize the market.
That is what many stockmen have
been forced to do and others will do
within a few days"

Heavy Butcher Glasses 10

Lights Higher.

A two-way trading range devel-
oped in the pork market today at
the indianapolis Union Stockyards.
Heavy butcher classes were largely
10 to Is cents lower, while light
weights advanced 10 cents.
Initial trading was slow despite
an extremely light supply of receipts
on hand. The total supply was esti-
mated at only 1000, compared with
5000 yesterday. Interest centered
mostly in the medium and light
weight divisions which resulted in
the moderate advance, carrying the
top price to SLOTS. Holdovers num-
bered 1876.
The general bulk of 160 to 225
pounds, cashed in at $10.65 to $1075.
Others, scaling from 225 to 260
pounds, brought 5000 to $1,000.
Extreme heavies we're salable at $40
to 5000. Light slaughter pigs, from
1870 to 100 pounds, sold at $9.75 to
$10.25. Packing soWs held at $3.50
to 1925.
The cattle market was scarce and
unchanged. Compared with week
ago beef steers and heifers were
weak to largely 25 cents lower. Cows
were off 25 to 35 cents and bulls
weak to slightly lower. The top
price of steers held at $40. Receipts
