I am sure that no one, who has
read my writings or heard me
talk, will accuse me of being
Roosevelt partisan. I have no
sympathy with the Presidents OFT

great mass of the people in this
country, or, in fact, good for any
body except parasites and a hand
full of ultra rich. l want to stop
patching a decayed capitalism and
start changing it to a Production

REPUBLICANS HOLD
GENERAL MOTORS
NOT LIABLE FOR
IS MILLION TAX

WASHINGTON - (FP) - Re-
the decision of the Inter-
nal Revenue Bureau, the United
States Board of Tax Appeals, in
a 90 decision, held that the Cen
eral Motors corporation does not
owe the government $15,342, ,369 in
back taxes.
Previously the Internal Revenue
Bureau ruled that the corporation
made a profit of over $1O6,OOO,OCO
on a stock deal in 1926 by which
the Fisher Body Co. was acquired
and that the corporation owes the
government over $15,OOO,O0O in
taxes. Of the nine persons voting
to overrule the Internal Revenue
Bureau, all but one were appointed
by either Coolidge or Hoover. The
six dissenters were Roosevelt ap-
pointees.
The deal took place in June,
1926, when the General Motors
Corporation purchased the Fisher
Body Co. for 10000 shares Of
General Motors stock. To make the
purchase G. M. borrowed" 935,2oO
shares from General Securities, a
holding company owned by Gene
raj Motors.
The stock paid Fisher Body was
distributed to shareholders and
General Motors, as owner of $3.50
of Fisher Body stock, received
935,28O shares of its own stock
with which it wiped out its debt
to General Securities. When bor-
rowed, the 935,28O shares of stock
were worth $137,6O3, 900 but wher
they were returned to General Sc
curities they were worth $31,254,-
825.
Attorneys for General Motors
and the majority of the Board Of
Tax Appeals held that the trans
action was a routine business re
organization and that the profit
was not taxable. In two vigorous
dissents the six minority member
on the board contended that haC
the deal been in cash it would hav,
resulted in a profit on the book
of the corporation and thus beer
taxable.
The minority also claimed tha
borrowing of the stock from Gen
eral Securities was not an integra
part of the transaction, as con
tended by the majority and G. N
attorneys. Fisher Body, which car
ried the sale on a cash basis, rec
ognized a profit and paid the cor
poration income tax on it, the mi
nority pointed out. Just becaus
General Motors made the deal i
terms of stock did not exemp
them from taxation, it was con
tended.

tutional" has come to he the re-
dictionary password that blocks
welfare legislation and execu-
tive plans, until social progress
is coming to standstill.
Courageously and definitely Mr..
Roosevelt sponsors a plan to curb
this power. Very properly he has
taken the lead in a task that must
be done. Whether he has. or has
not, selected the best method OF
doing this job is now a secondary
consideration. The vital point is
that he has proposed one way Of
doing it, and, on his proposal, the
fight has been opened and the bat
tie lines are forming.
Of course, thousands Of curb
stone statesmen, county seat
constitutional and other Eek
perts" will argue the matter
from now until ten years after
/ it is settled. This will do no
harm. In the meantime, members
of Congress who really want to
curb the Court will line up with
the President. Those who don't

bers of the Congress. If Dame
RumOr is to be credited, the
Senator VIII be a candidate for
Presiden. on thc democratic
ticket in 1910. To carry a win
ming public vote he must run as
an outstanding liberal, while, to
have the backing of Big Busi-
ness, so necessary in the con-
vention, he must be rated as
"safe." Both conditions can be
met by publicly standing for a
curb of The Supreme Court and
then having ga better way" to

bright yellow to deep violet If you
find brown seeds among these, they
are the dead ones and should be re-
moved.
Obtaining strong, sturdy seeds has
been found to be a problem. The
best ones are raised in America, and
it is these you must try to get in
order to have a fine stand of clover.
The ones brought from Europe are
likely to have weed pests, and, in some
cases, insect foes.
Where cattle are to be fed on large
farms, red clover is the accepted crop
for them. The first crop is cut for
hay, portion of the second crop re-
served for seeds.
Ii estimating a good seed crop of
red clover, you judge by the number
Of seeds to be found on the plant
If you find from 25 to 80 seeds to the

THERE Is an ancient and profit
able partnership between the
bees and clover In fact, the
clover cannot get along with
out the bees, for the long -tongued
nectar seekers bring along with them
the vital pollen collected from other
flowers. So the happy hum, heard
even for some distance away in the
fields of clover, means prosperity for
the bees, food for cattle and added
richness to the soil
AS far as reliable records can be
found. this valuable plant was first
recorded in 1747 by a plant specialist
by the name of Jared Eliot Men,
ton was made of the fact that the
plant was being successfully grown in
the New England States Since then
red clover has shown its ability to
adapt itself to the soil of nearly all
of the States. Its special need is
sufficient rainfall. In the West, where
lands have been irrigated, red clover
is replacing alfalfa. Even in the
can be managed, this plant is prov
ing a very valuable crop for animal
and soil
Red clover makes an excellent ro-
tation crop. In fact, it is most sue
ceSsful when used in this fashion:
First cultivated crop after that
small grain one, then clover has been
found to be one way to outwit the root
borers, insects and fungus-all foes
to red clover.
BY sowing timothy and red clover
together a satisfactory crop of both
can be obtained. The first year clover
leads as a crop and the second one
timothy; the tEird year there is very
little Of the clover to be seen.
The clover plant is very attractive,
with its flowers of roSe-pink, dark
green leaves and a white area in the
center. The flower head is made up
Of hundred or more floretS, resem-
bling somewhat the blossom of the
pea. The nectar is SeCreted at the
base of the f1oret and is found only
by the long -tongued Slippers.
The second crop of the clover is
permitted to mature for the seed.
