GLASS DENOUNCES
TAXATION TYRANNY
Claims Patrick Henry Would
Have Opposed Present
u. S. Policies.
By the Associated Press.

ASHLAND, Va. July Ex-senator
Carter Glass. 78-year-old Virginia
Senator, said I'VE have government
of privilege and discrimination" in
an extemporaneous speech yesterday
at the Patrick Henry Bi-centennial
Celebration here.
1t is a government, he said, such
as Henry denounced in the House
of Burgesses when he made brief
speech that it was improper to take
money of taxpayers of Virginia and
appropriate it to pay off mortgages
that had been made by thriftless
and unwise individuals"
That is just what we are doing in
this country today" Glass said.
whether it be due to the miSman-
company managers or the miSman-
ayers of businesses or railroads. The
Governments nose is in all sorts
of business today"
Puts Blame on Congress.
1.-The President of the United States
has been bitterly criticized, but my
comment on his actions would be to
the effect that he made the mistake
of taking all the power that Congress
was willing to give him. the Sem
ator continued. 1T is the Congress
that should be blamed for abjectly
Surrendering its own constitutional
functions and delegating them to the
President of the United States and
to various minor executive officials" I"
81 expect to abide by my oath of
Office, and an oath is as sacred to me
as to the President or to anybody
else" he said at another point. And
if any measure is against my better
Judgment and conviction, am going
to vote against it every time.
Patrick Henry would go along with
me I would envy the power of our
great countryman in denouncing op-
pressive and unwise measures. If I
had his force of speech, We might have
accomplished something in the Senate
without putting the Supreme Court to
the trouble of deciding these matters"
Sees Wage Farmers Hit.
The veteran Senator said Henry was
opposed to tyranny Of all kinds, add
ing, And I submit that there Is no
Evening star., 1936-07-18

more damaging species of tyranny
than that of taxing the many for the
benefit OF the few"
Asserting Democrats had not writ
ten single line to repeal a single
line Of the Smoot- -Hawley tariff, he
said: I'VE will let industries continue
their species of robbery and let other
groups institute their species of rob-
berry. When 1t comes to wage earners,
clerks and stenographers, professional
men and large class of others, 56.-
100000 Of them, the exaction fee Is
from both pockets at the same time"
Answers Criticism.
Referring to criticism of his actions
and those of Senator Harry F. Byrd,
Virginia's Junior Senator, Glass said:
MY answer is that am proud that
the Supreme Court. in 10 out of II
cases, sustained me in every speech
that I made and every vote that I
cast and did not sustain the views of
my critics"
Last night the crowd turned its at
tention again to Hanover Courthouse
and the pageant. liberty or death"
A ball at Ashland afterwards brought
the three-day bi-centennial celebration
to a close.

UNCLE, GIVE US BREAD'---Meat Guarded

the bad were fascinating, deeply
interesting, and all far, far above
the ordinary.
If 1 were to write down all the
fantastic and dreadful tales of
suffering which nearly every per
son I met told me because they felt
me to be their friend, it would fill
many thick books.
Tragedies, narrowing, heart.
rending tragedies, were everyday
occurrences in Soviet Russia. All
had gone through utterly unbe-
lievable sufferings and sorrows.
We learned to love the Russians,
who mostly bore their misfortuneS
with calmness and patience that
time after time made us admire
and wonder at the great, clumsy,
pious children they all were.

IF this is socialism, then to hell
with socialism," I could only nod
silently.
One day Ivan told me that
there had been a dreadful rail
way accident not far from Povo-
rino on the Kharkov line. l asked !:
"How many we're killed."
"Oh! Many" he said, and
spread his arms out slowly. Next
day in my simplicity l bought the
newspaper in English. Not a word
about the accident! Evidently it
was not considered a subject Of
public concern.
Now and then rumors of dread
full happenings reached me, usually
quite by accident. They were al
ways told me with a dull indiffer-
ence which more than anything
else showed their probability. 1
myself lived amidst dreadful ex-
perienceS day in and day out.
would come home from my work
with a headache from the bad
food to find my wife and my boy
growing thinner and weaker day
by day. If I demanded to be sent
back to Denmark now, I should
probably have to bear the travel
ing expenses myself. My work had
gradually dwindled to nothing but
writing complaints all round, and
like the RuSSians-to the daily
fight for food, fight in the truest
sense of the word.
Every day l met the strangest
sights. Most of them were hid
eous. dirty and sickening, but also
I would meet people-lovely, beam
ing, spotleSsly clean children,
women and old folks-whom
could almost embrace. And
strange to say both the good and
