Great relief was expressed by Of

cars each brought the first fresh

PeOnage Trial to End
After Lawyers Argue

JONESBORO, Ark, Nov. 25.
GN.SO-With closing arguments
the case Of Paul D. Peacher, AZ
year-old town marshal of Earle,
Ark, charged with having violated
an anti-slavery law Of 1866, was
expected to rest with the jury late
today.
Peacher is charged by the Fed
eral Government with falsely ar
resting eight Negroes and holding
them in Servitude on land that he
was clearing under contract from
a special Earle school district.
Seven of the eight Negroes were
called to the stand by the prosecu-
tion yesterday. They all asserted
they had been arrested by Peacher
on a charge of vagrancy, although
most of them owned their own
homes, had work, or were looking
for work at the time Of their ar
rest.
Mayor Mitchell, testifying for
the Government, said tha
Peacher brought two Of the Ne.
groes before him to be tried. He
found them guilty and fined
them. Then Peacher brought
several Negroes, and wholesale
convictions followed.
Through the testimony given by
the arrested Negroes, the Govern
ment contends that Peacher used
his office as town marshal fol-
personal gain by arresting the
Negroes on spurious charges OF
vagrancy and having them com
mitted to his custody to work out
their fines, although no written

LESS SPENDING,
TAXCUT URGED
BY SEN. KING
International News Service


Declaring economy must be
the watchword on Capitol HILL
Senator william H. King CD OF
Utah today appealed to the new
Congress to abolish emergency
bureaus, reduce Federal expendi
lures and simplify Federal tai
laws.
King, who helped write a hall
dozen new tax laws during the first
Roosevelt administration, declared
scores Of inequities and complica
tionS should be removed.
Hits Surplus Tax
He urged revision of both the
capital-gain tax and the tax on un
distributed corporation income to
relieve, he said. hardship and in
justice. He said the tax on capital
gains was restricting ''the flow OF
capital and retarding Industrial
expansion" He added:
There must be no more
deficits. In my opinion, economy
must be the watchwOrd on Capt.
tOl Hill.
There are too many Federal
bureaus and agencies. Some Of
these emergency bureaus were
created to meet certain prob
lens during the depression. Now
that the need for these agencies
is gone, they should be abOl-
iShed.
REDUCE DEBT
"While we cannot materially
reduce taxes for some time to
come, we must reduce expendi-
lures and use the surplus to re-
duce the public debt"
King pressed for a revision OF
tax laws, without specifically in.
Guiding any reduction of taxes. He
pointed out that the U. s. Board
Of Tax Appeals, Federal courts
and even Treasury experts gave
conflicting opinions about differ
ent tax provisions. He added that
in some instances, taxpayers were
forced into lengthy and costly liti
cation because of conflicting de
cisionS about tax liabilities.

OLD WARRANT
HELD VOID

Warrants for minor traffic law
violations issued is days after the
offense are void.
That opinion, rendered yester-
day by Assistant Corporation
Counsel F.. Glenn Simmon, today
threw District officials into con-
fusion.
For the license tag applications
Of thousands of District motor
lists are being held up because Of
warrants against them. And, ac-
cording to Simmon, these war
rants are not valid.
He explained his ruling by
pointing to a custom dating back
to prohibition days, when isSu-
ance Of warrant was refused If
a liquor "buy" had occurred is
days previously.
The ruling was made yesterday
in the case Of Teunis F. Collier,
3001 Dent Pl. N. W., who de-
manded he be tried on a charge
Of illegal parking.
Simmon refused to go ahead
with the Collier case, declaring
the warrant was void and the
case closed.
