charges would be filed against all per-

alleged attempt to tamper with the
jury before which Mrs. Nellie Upton
Muench and three others were being
tried on conspiracy charges.
The prosecutors statement last
night was made efter Circuit Judge

Juror Charles Long testified that
Harry Spangler, Clark County en-
gineer, had approached him with an
offer of 500 to deadlock the jury
and quoted Spangler as saying he
represented Joseph L. Cutting, one OF
the defense attorneys.
Cutting, who asserted he had not
talked to Spangler about the case,
vehemently denied any attempt to
bribe. Spangler told Judge Higbee he
had talked to Long twice outside the
court room, but denied having ap-
preached the juror about the case or

Dy the Associated Press.
Some congressional leaders were be-
coming deeply concerned today over
delays in framing the tax bill and the
consequent threat of a prolonged ses-
sion of Congress.
Both the tax bill and the proposed
$1,5O0, 100000 relief appropriation
were still before subcommittee of the
House, although President Roosevelt
submitted his revenue recommends
tions six weeks ago and his relief es-
Inmates a month ago.
These two measures, still in the first
stage of their long congressional con-
slderation, hold the key to adjourn
ment of Congress.
With the June / adjournment goal
only six weeks of, leaders anxiously
watched the Ways and Means SUP
committee framing the $799, ,00O, ,00O
revenue bill, and speculated over how
long it would take to put the measure
through the Senate.

cause back Of the tax bill is the relief

BONUS BOOM

Disbursement of nearly two billion dollars in
bonuses to American veterans sets the stage Tor
an economic field day. Never has business faced
such a sudden avalanche of purchasing power as
that set off by the postmans knock. Spending the
federal checks will give trade a tremendous lift.
From mid-June on. those zig-zag lines across bust
ness charts may catapult into peaks unexpored
since predepression days.
Business will smile as broadly as those who are
doing the spending-so long as the spending lasts.
The value of this temporary spending is open to
question. Sometimes it is essential to prime the
pump, but it is well to consider where the money
comes from that is poured into the pump.
The two billion dollars distributed to the veter-
ans comes out of the federal treasury. What the
soldiers spent today, they and the people as whole
will have to pay tomorrow in the form of taxes.
Even business which this of purchasing pow
er is expected to stimulate must share the burden.
Payment of the soldiers bonus has not created
any new wealth or expanded the nations capacity
for productivity. The disbursement of this two
billion dollars is in effect redistribution of prop
erty In printing the pump, the country is apt to
get back no more than has been poured in. The
business boom caused by payment of the bonus is
likely to cost just about two billion dollars-The
Christian Science Monitor.

WHERE ECONOMY SHOULD RULE

: The State of New Jersey has recently gone back
to the local management method of administering
welfare and unemployment relief, and some of the
results have been actually staggering in their dis
closure of waste and extravaganza in very neces-
sary and commendable public enterprise. '''' 3D.
In the capital city of Trenton, for instance, al
ready there has been drop in relief cases from
1928 to 1902, with reduction of cost from
about hundred thousand dollars month to thirty
thousand 80. ..... ,,-y
The city manager of Trenton says: 1.-THE time
has come to put relief on business basis and
eliminate politics and sentiment Crack down on
the chiselers and keep politics out of relief and
the problem can be solved" s-,E,.,a.5 . --
That seems to have been done in Trenton, and
the city is saving two-thirds of the cost.
The Trenton situation would seem to indicate
that we have been squandering an unconsciorable
lot of public money in work where more than in
anything else we think of it ought to be made
to go as far and do as much good as possible

DISPENSING WITH CONGRESS

The House rules committee gave its approval
Tuesday to the Walsh-Healey bill requiring con-
tractors who sell to the government to comply with
certain requirements affecting hours and wages
and conditions of labor There is little likelihood
that the bill will get anywhere at the fag end OF
an election year session, and it occurs to US to
wonder what is the necessity anyhow for congress
to bother with it.
: Secretary of the Interior and Public Works Ad-
ministrator Ickes needs no such authorization or
commandment as the Walsh-Healey bill. If Mr..
Ickes sees some deficiency in the federal statutes
or some maladjustment in the economic structure,
he proceeds forthrightly on his own hook to apply
whatever remedy he considers suitable Conclud-
ing early in the administration that electric power
rates were too high, he began to lend relief money
for the construction of competing plants. Yester-
day, irked at steel company's alleged non-com-
pliance with the terms of federal act 1.-THE I'm
constitutionaty of which is good 10-to-1 bet),
he cancelled $4,000 order and gave the COM
pany the name of Terrorist
1t may be so, but the point is that it may not
be In either event. the real hazard is in having
bureaucrats serve as both trainers and enforcers
of the country's legislation. Even while congress
debates the merits and dement's of bill, Mr. Ickes
the most potent bureaucrat of them all, gives the
bill the force of law and the added feature of per
sonal indignation.-C Charlotte News. ': 80 .

achievements possible through ed
ucating mind, body and spirit to

usually be educated to assimilatc
tremendously any food if the goal
