VETERAN WITH AK
STAYS KIND WIFE
Insane Patient Released on
Her Plea Says He Had
Disgraced Her.
By the Associated Press.

WORCESTER, Mass, October a.
A childhood romance that began in
England was at an end here today,
with Mrs. Mary Ellis Crosbie, 40, dead
and her husband, Frank, 81, she'll
shocked war veteran and an insane
hospital patient, held for her murder.
Crosbie. Police Inspector James F.
Sheahan said, hacked his wife to
death a few hours after. with fearful
pleading, she induced young inferno
to grant him a day Of liberty from
Worcester State Hospital yesterday.
II killed her because I had dis
graced her." Sheahan quoted the hus-
band as saying. after he had been re-
manded to Worcester jail pending
formal hearing on q murder charge
Tuesday morning.
The husband declined to amplify
that statement, the inspector added.
Sheahan reconstructed the crime as
follows: Mrs. Crosbie pleaded for sew
eral minutes yesterday to have her
husband granted liberty until
o'clock last night. An inferno, un-
mindful Of Crosbie's hospital record,
which said, dangerous, do not re-
lease" granted the liberty.
The couple greeted each other with
outward signs Of deep affection as
they left the hospital.
Later, at home, Mrs. Crosbie went
to. the cellar to inspect her preserve
closet. Crosbie went down after her.
As she leaned over to look at the pre-
serves, the husband seized an axe and

tended to cast discredit on the once
Of premier.
The Dominion government has made
no move against Aberhart, despite the
fact that it has sole power over inter-
est rates on provincial bonds. The
correspondent was told in WELL
informed quarters in both Alberta and
Ottawa that the government has
adopted an attitude Of hands-o1 and
watchful waiting, for the time being
at least.
1t Is stated that this is due to ad-
vice from political leaders who said
the masses in Alberta are in such q
state Of ferment that interference
with Aberhart might produce q revo-
luton. To reports that he is ambi-
tious to become prime minister Of all
Canada, Aberhart has given the de-
nial.
But the skipper Of the social credit
ship continues to poke the nose Of his
craft out into unchartered waters and
holds doggedly to the course which he
believes will lead to the harbor OF
Utopia.

EDMONTON, Alberta, October Ia
Albertas strong -jawed premier, Will
liam Aberhart. an amazing personality
who almost overnight has sprung from
near oblivion to become the most
talked-of individual In Canada, be-
cause Of his tradition -shattering social
credit experiment, will begin to meet
his real test about November /, ii
present plans materialize.
Near that date, 1t is announced, the
provincial government will start deal
ing out its history-making monthly
basic dividends" that is. credit which
will be the equivalent of cash within
the province.
This means gratuitous income
from the state for every adult citizen,
rich or poor, employed or involuntarily
idle, who has covenanted to support
the movement.
1t means that the province, under
plan which never before has been
tried by any government, would in
effect be turned into a profit sharing
corporation. In this, every Albertan
would ipso facto be q "stockholder," !"
If he or she agrees TO play the game
that way.
The amount Of the initial dividend
has not yet been determined, but .
sum between S. and $40 per month
has been mentioned. Twenty-Five dol
lars was the sum tentatively suggested
by Aberhart in the early days Of his
campaign.
Later he announced that he saw no
reason why the figure should not be
SIS. This was just before the election
Of August, last year, and it created q
furor of approval that swept him into
power with Sc of the 63 members of
Parliament behind him.
1t was the first political job Of this

preacher Of the Gospel
1t Is written on the social credit wall
that there will be cold, dire DAYS
ahead for non-participants-a the
temperature in Alberta sometimes
drops to so below zero.
The first outstanding move Of the
Aberhart Legislature was to make an
arbitrary cut of about so per cent in
the average interest rates on provin-
cial bonds, with the exception Of one
small group.
The total funded and unfunded debt
Of the Province is s160, ,0O0. 900, some
IS per cent of which is held in the
United States. The average rate of
interest on bonds had been 4.89 per
cent; it was slashed to 22.,
A roar of rage, coupled with threats,
went up from bankers and bondhold
ers throughout Canada. Breach of
contract was charged. But Aberhart,
who had been handed Mother Hub
bard's cupboard in place of State
treasury by his predecessors, merely
protuded that fighting jaw and gave
his opponents a 80 what" look.
Then the Legislature passed q bill
for reduction of all private debts. The
measure provided that on all private
debts contracted prior to July l, 1882,
the interest should be wiped out up
to July /, 1886. All interest already
paid between these dates was to be

WHERE POLITICS
GETS ITS NOSE DIRTY
NSy3s.ssSrtR

We in Imperial Valley have just cause
to thank God for fall. Fall means the
reblrth OF waning confidence in the fu-
Jure. means reSurgence of vitality
in individual and community. and II
means as well resurrection of business
and social life. But it means, besides
all this, return of energy to the perpe-
tual pessimists and a renewed activity
among professional deplorers.
For instance, decidedly pessimist;c
report from a source which shall be
nameless here recently took occasion to
attack Imperial Valleys tax structure.
in part and in whole. Now, the tax
structure is always a likely subject for
attack, whether political or economic.
No one denies that it could be patterned
more perfectly, and there are precious
few who would not like to see a more
perfect pattern. In Utopia, no taxes
would exist. That is not the point here
The point is that even the business of
tax criticism can be carried too far. The
report under question cited an alleged
incident IN which house in one valley
city rented for $40 month, and the
home next to it-a home supposedly of
the same type of construction and same
size-cost its owner S25 a month in tax
es That might conceivably be true in
one isolated instance, but anyone who
thinks the landlords of Imperial Valley
are taking anything like a S5-a-month
loss on their houses, does not know the
landlords of Imperial Valley.
We need more homes here. We need
more people living in their own homes,
and we need more homes to rent. There
is a woeful shortage in housing facili-
ties. The person who tries to give the
impression that home building is not
a practical, and even a profitable busi-
ness, should have no place in commuri-
ty life. His inference is wrong-it has
been proved so time and again. His
words, nine times out of ten, will have
no effect, but that makes them none the
less wrong.
Political tax batting to the contrary,
home building is good business in I'M
perial Valley. 1t is one that will con-
tinue to prosper. The sooner we accept
that fact, the faster will we forge ahead

WHERE THIS NEWSPAPER
STANDS IN THE CAMPAIGN

This newspaper will not advocate the
candidacy of either President Roose-
welt or Governor Landon in the current
presidential campaign. nor of other par
tisan candidates for other offices. 1t
WILL instead, confine itself to an effort
to give a true, unbiased picture of the
campaign and the contentious of various
partisans. A we'll defined program will
be followed in so doing.
AS the outstanding representative of
the diversified interests of great I'M
perial Valley, this paper feels its duty
is to inform the public, not to dictate
to its readers their political actions.
Knowing the facts, the people can be
counted upon to- make wise decisions
without being exhorted by one party
or the other.
An impartial straw ballot, already an
nounced and under way, will show the
trend of preference. Party spokesmen
will be given their opportunity in an
other way.
Partisan viewpoints will be published
as a regular feature in a double column,
one space devoted to Democratic argu-
ments and the space alongside it to Re-
publican claims. The column will make
its appearance this week and remain as
a regular feature of this paper until
the election Party spokesmen, candi-
dates and partisan editors from other
parts of the country will contribute.
This paper will do its utmost to pre-
sent the campaign impartially. It's read
ers must reach their own decisions.

LATEST TYPE
EQUIPMENT IN
TRUCK BRANCHES

Owners of International Motor
trucks operating in more than one
section or state have become used
to uniform after-sales service pol
icy, according to Ford Smith, local
truck manager of the Internation-
al Harvester company.
He states that all of the 230 COM
pany-oWner branches and service
stations located in strategic cen
ters of the United States and Can
ada have the lates ype equipment
and experienced engineers and me-
chanics. and that the same stand
ardi2ed service methods are used in
every branch.
"These branches all carry large
supplies of replacement parts stored
in neat and efficiently arranged
steel bins" said Smith. I'm the
parts department and the roomy
service quarters owners find in each
branch the same modern methods,
tools, and equipment; the same
type of work benches; the same
orderly operations; even the same
apparel for the Well-trained me-
chanics.
Not only are these branches pro-
viding a superior standardized SER
vice to all International owners, but
they are backing up the numerous
sub-branches and thousands of
dealers who are selling Internation-
al trucks IN ever increasing num-
bers.
MANY fleet owners are now us
ing this exception service, and as
a result more and more large users
are standardizing on International
trucks BY utilizing International
Harvester service facilities to the
full, they cut down their invest
ment in parts to a minimum and
avoid the expense of operating sta
tions of their own.
