Democrats Sullen, Republicans Are
Critical Over Roosevelt Tax Plan
But Democrats View Add.

Inevitable

WASHINGTON, Mar. a.. (UP)
President Roosevelt's new tax
program brought criticism of fed
eral spending from Republicans
on Capitol Hill last night while
Democrats were generally accept
ed the thought that additional
levies were inevitable in sullen
silence.
Party leaders emphasized MIR.

A summary of comment:

mittee:
"The presidents tax message is
a complete answer to those who
have been continually shouting
about unbalanced budgets"
Chairman Robert Doughtan, d.,

suggestions are going to take

Senate Democratic Leader JOS

from existing taxes are rapidly in
creasing and therefore levios

the message will be of compare

Senate Republican Leader Char.

group which believes that the best
way to avoid taxes is to reduce
expenditures"
House Republican Leader Bert

congress raise the revenue as long
as he has the right to spend it."

appeal for a peaceful settlement
of the Italo-Ethiopian war today
arrived here and was forwarded
to Emperor Selassie at Dessye,

The appeal is suspected here to
be merely another attempt to de-

cast that the emperor would re-
ply in general terms pointing out
that he has always been ready to
make peace within the frame

We're at 1t Again

We're at it again!
Back to the job of killing and manning children.
ON THE FIRST DAY OF VACATION THREE
YOUNGSTERS WERE PICKED UP DEAD FROM
THE STREETS, VICTIMS OF STREET ACCIDENTS.
Several more were seriously injured and may die.
This is Just the start of the "happy" UacatiOn
season.
Our traffic toll for the year is now well above the
tWoscore mark.
When if ever will this needless killing be stopped?
It isn't question of whether the drivers of vehicles
are to blame or whether the needless children re-
sponsible for their own deaths.
It is now simple question Of whether want to stop
the Staying accidental otherwise and how far
willing to sacrifice few personal whims in order to
do it,
Every intelligent adult knows that for the next few
months there are going be of thousands of chill
dren playing and dartng into the Streets largely be-
cause Congress won't give the playground department
enough money to keep them off the Streets because
parents powerless to impress them the hazards
which they run.
Without blaming the drivers of automobiles it would
seem obvious that they have chance to keep down the
killing
If they IOiH remember the child, remember his
natural careIessness While plGying they can giUe
youngsters some assurance that they LUiU be in
school in the Fall and not in the cemetery.
It may that the driver will lose few minutes
On his trip.
It may mean that the driver will have to drive with
particular care while passing other automobiles parked
at the curbs.
But it would be worth it, not only to the children but
to the driver himself.
IF ANYBODY DRIVING AN AUTOMOBILE
DOUBTS THAT LET HIM SIT DOWN AND THINK
FOR FIVE MINUTES OF HOW HE WOULD FEEL
If HIS CAR KILLED A CHILD, EVEN IF THE
CHILD WERE AT FAULT.

the tangled stems of weeds. But
I was so close to them that they
seemed as huge and terrible as
any jungle.
Among those tunnels, monsters
rambled and coiled-great hairy
spotted beasts-fanged serpents-
winged carriers of death. Tiny
ants and spiders and inch worms
they were, in reality, but magni-
fled to horrible Importance by my
nearness.
For long, sleepy moments
stared at these horrors as another
bug might have stared. I had for
gotten my normal, man-Size world.
I had forgotten the power and
beauty Of freedom which were my
right as a man. I could see and
feel only the dark and dreadful
little world that lay beneath the
grass stem Sin which life
squirmed. trapped in darkness.
Later, toward evening, climbed
a mountain. Not an easy climb. A
narrow, steep trail, tangled in
chaparral. But presently I came
into the clear. Far below me the
land stretched out and out
tunbled hills-deep ravines- small
clearings set like golden tiles In

Journeys
ISLES OF GREECE

A trip that is different Is one
that embraces a visit to the south
ern part of Europe and a cruise
to the isles Of Greece. Ships that
are really large yachts make these
cruises that venture off the regu-
lar steamship lanes calling at
ports that bring one back to yes
teryear.
This traveller made one with a
large party that chartered small
boat and set out to see the tabled
isles Of Greece. We started from
Palermo, and after putting in at
various Sicilian ports, we set sail
for Corfu, one of the most beauti'
full of all the islands. At Corfu Is
the Achilleion, palace of the for
mer kaiser, as well as the museum.
RUINS OF DELOS
Andres and DeloS are the two
islands that bring us close to
Piraeus, the port Of Athens. DeloS
is interesting for its ruins of the
beautiful Temple Of Apollo. Mt.
Cynthus gives an enchanting view
of the islands. A short distance
away is Myconos, perhaps the
most typically Greek of all the
Ionian islands.
It is amazing to reflect on the
many travellers who have never
even thought of visiting Athens.
Maybe it doesn't TEEN with charm
and romance as we know it today
But one hasn't seen anything until
one comes within sight Of the
Acropolis. the Theater of Dionysos
or the stadium.
We leave Athens and sail on to
Nauplia, where we visit Mycenae
and TiyruS and Epidaurus, an
ancient health resort. Then we
steam away to our last port Of
call in the islands, Itea. Here
we visit ancient Delphi by motor
car, thinking of those who made
the pilgrimage afoot to consult
the famous Oracle.

cause IL relates TO war, peace ana
commerce. It therefore should
not be dele hted except in such
way and with such precautions as
will afford security. This our
Constitution does by giving this
power to the Executive and by
providing that it be balanced by
the Senate, a continuing body
with long, overlapping terms Of
office.
To gain the respect and conf
dence of foreign nations and the
ability to handle political rela-
tionS with them requires discern"
ment and stability, and an en-
lightened and constant policy.
Experience shows that Sena-
torial control has discouraged the
taste for foreign enterprises and
has thereby avoided entangling
alliances against which President
Washington cautioned us.

PORKER PRICES
DROP SHARPLY

An unexpected heavy flow of re-

supply was estimated at 1000.
Unfavorable weather conditions

latter part of the week was believed
responsible for heavy shipments to-
day, which we're the largest for a
Saturday session in several months.
Usually weekend receipts range
from 1000 to 1000.
Despite the light supply in re-
cent sessions, demand also showed
signs of weakness. The general
bulk of 100 to 225 pounds, brought
5000 to $1,000, with the latter act
ing as the top price. HeavyWeightS
from 26O pounds and upward, caShed
in at $3.50 to $500. Light slaughter
pigs, from 40 to 100 pounds, sold
at $40 to $1O25. Packing sows held
at SO to $8.75.
Trading was scarce and unchanged
in the cattle market. Compared with
week ago beef steers were steady
to Is cents higher, with COWS show
ing similar advance. Heifers were
stationary. Steers weighing around
1167 pounds, brought $13.25. Re-
ceipts were 100.
Vealers were largely so cents
lower than yesterdays opening. The
bulk of good and choice sold at $12
to S1250. Receipts numbered 100.
Lambs we're stationary, with three
