PLAN FOR TAX

Flax growers and rancherS in gen.
eral have received good news in the
assurance that the Bailey amend
ment to the revenue bill, including
a tax on perilla, has been passed by
the house senate conference COM
mittee. This, it is believed, means
that passage of the amendment Is
assured.
The amendment provides for eX-
else and processing taxes on oils

made from flaXseed and includes
perilla, which is the most important
as far as the valley is concerned and
which was excluded from the or.
iginal bill, as we'll as whale, fish

Coughlin Gives His
Support; Factions
To Join

WASHINGTON, June 20.
(UP)-A third party ticket,
h a d e d by Rep. William
Lemke, n. D., author of an
inflationary farm mortgage
bill, entered the 1886 presidential
sweepstakes today and will oppose
President Roosevelt and Gov. Ali
M Landon, the Republican nomi-
nee, in all states in November.
Supporting it was the Rev.
Charles f. Coughlin and his ma
tional union for social justice
Expected to endorse it within the
next two weeks was DR. Francis
E. Townsend and his Townsend
old age pension clubs, and the
remnants of the late Huey P.
Longs share the wealth club
Many political observers also eX-
pected it to obtain support from
smaller organizations advocating
inflationary and other radical leg
islation.
A few hours after Lemke an
nounced his candidacy and made
public a platform in Washington,
Coughlin announced his whole
hearted endorsement. Coughlin has
been a fervent supporter of the
Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage bill.
Many believed he was the direct
inspirer of the new party.
Leaders of the old line parties
were guarded in their comment,
but Republicans privately express
ed the belief that Lemke's candl-
dacy would aid them in their fight
to elect Gov. Landon by shaving

old girl will be made by defense at

superior court verdict, they indicat-
ed late Friday in a notation OF
grounds for appeal.
On behalf of Riddle, now serving
an indeterminate sentence in San
quentin prison, Attorneys A. G. Fin
ney and Ray d. johnson charged
that the trial was shot through with
legal errors.
Among other grounds cited for the
appeal were alleged admission of
improper evidence, irregularities in
conduct of the jury, error by the
court in giving instructions to the
jury and further error in supple.
menting the instructions after the
jury had been given the case. Other
grounds followed the usual lines

shape.
we have enough money to pay
all our bills" he added, "and we
expect to spend somewhere around
100000 on the campaign. That is
about the same amount we spent
in 1882, but about 100000 of that
went to the payment of debts
which we inherited from the pre-
vious national committee"
Democrats go into their conyen-
tion with the threat that a third
party, headed by Congressman Will
liam Lenke, may cut seriously into
their popular vote, particularly in
the radical northwest where there
is sentiment for initiation as a
means of easing the farmers debt
burden.
Farley was cautious today in his
comment on the Lemke uprising,
but indicated he might have a
statement on it later.
The platform is completely in the
hands of Sen. Robert F. Wagner Of
New York, Farley said. He expects
the planks which Wagner will bring
to Philadelphia tomorrow to be
adopted without opposition.
Democrats will go into the cam
paign in complete harmony, Farley
said, and he expects such rebels as
Gov. Eugene Tahmadge of Georgia
to support the president.
