FLOOD DEATH
TOLL MOUNTS
so Feared Dead in East
and Canada; 10000 Are
Reported Homeless.

By United Press
BOSTON, March 14.-Forecasts of
rain carried a threat today of still
worse floods in northeastern states
and parts of Canada. The death
toll was reported approaching so
and 10000 persons have been driven
from their homes.
Property damage is estimated in
the millions.
New England rivers. particularly
the Merrimack, which isolated Con-
cord, N. H., and forced 5000 families
to seek higher ground, receded
slightly this morning. Floods also
were abating in the Hudson Valley
in New York.
The forecast of rain tonight and
tomorrow caused new apprehension,
however. Officials in New England
considered appealing for Army
bombing planes to break ice jams
which backed up the flood waters.
Three Coast Guard amphibians were
ready at Salem, Mass, for emer-
gency rescue work.
1t was estimated that $4,000 New
Englanders were left jobless by IN
uadatiOn of mills.

SURPRISE!

There was never a man more
surprised than Felix Perkins,
>Martinsville, Negro, when he
awoke the other night and
found that some meanie had
cached so gallons of whisky in
his auto.
Taking the story with a grain
of salt, Federal Judge Robert
c. Baltzell today gave Perkins
a six months suspended SEN
tence of violating Federal liquor
laws.
Perkins said he had Just left
the Indiana State Farm after
a six-months term and was
driving to Martinsville when he
became sleepy and stopped his
auto along the road.
He was awakened by sus-
picious authorities who we're
inclined to be skeptical about
the so gallons that had walked
into the car.

Bill Exempting Public
Owned Utilities Brought
Before Lower Chamber.
ACTION SETS PRECEDENT
Proposed Law Only One Not
of Welfare Nature to
Be Reported Out.

A coalition of Democrats
and the Republican minority
succeeded today in defeating
an attempt to recommit a bill
exempting municipality owned
utilities from taxation, after
the bill had been reported by
the House Committee on
Cities and Towns.
This is the first measure not of a
social security nature, other than
the routine bill appropriating ex-
penses for the session, to be re-
ported out at the special session in
either House.
Democratic leaders, fearful lest
the precedent would touch off a re-
volt that might lead to a battle to
gain consideration for other highly
controversial subjects, were report
ed greatly concerned and in an
angry mood.
Such an attempt, it was pointed
out, might prolong the session be-
yond Tuesday or Wednesday when
it had been held practically certain
that the Legislature would wind up
its business and go home.
House Meets Briefly
Following recess, the House met
briefly while Gov McNutt signed
the bill appropriating expenses of
the session. The body adjourned
shortly before noon until Monday.
The public utility tax exemption
bill has the backing of the Indiana
Municipal League and affects 235
towns and cities having municipal
utility plants. 1t first was reported
without serious opposition and ad-
vanced to second reading on mo-
ton by Rep. Carl Woodland
Cd, Michigan City,.
A fight developed however, when
Rep. Fred E. Barrett 3D., Indian
apolis) moved the bill be recon-
mitted. A roll call was demanded
and the motion to recommit was
lost, 80 voting aye and 43 no.
Republicans File Protests

l. What is the "easy money policy?
This policy is one of controlling bank credit
by government action, usually through "open
market operations" or direct control over bank
loans and investments. It is designed to force
money rates" down and maintain them at a
low level.
The purpose Or intent is probably an essen
tial part of the definition. This may be (1) to
stimulate business by forcing savers to spend
and by encouraging. borrowing, (2) to enable
the government to run on the basis of borrow
ing and deficits, and (3) to eliminate private
saving and weaken private capital.
