DETAILED J0BLESS
CENSUS PLANNED
President Reported Favor
able to Linking It With
Population Count.

BACKGROUND
Lack OF reasonably erdct figures
on unemployment has been COM
mented on frequently OF late and
udrious estimates offered Senator
Vandenberg has said eristing fig
ures eraggerate conditions by
5000 .000 Labor Secretary Perkins
also belieues current estimates err
roneouS, uhile w. P. A. Admins
traitor Hopkins thinks much un-
employment is permanent and due
to chronological causes.
An elaborately detailed plan for the
enumeration Of the unemployed in
connection with the next decennial
census has been submitted to Presi-
dent Roosevelt by the Commerce and
Labor Departments.
Ordinarily the next census would be
taken in 1910, but the Commerce De-
partment. which has charge Of the
Census Bureau. has recommended
that the regular enumeration be
taken in 1898 or 1899.
The President. it was learned, looks
with favor on the idea of linking the
unemployment count with the regu-
lar census, but as yet he has given
the census officials no hint as to how
he feels about moving up the regu-
lar population enumerations.
Favor Early Census.
The Commerce and Labor Depart
nents and the Central Statistical
Board, the principal statistics-gather-
ing agencies of the Government, all
favor taking the census sooner than
it ordinarily would be taken, as early
rs 1898, if possible. AS the Govern
ment statSticians see it, the whole
social and economic pattern Of the
Nation has been so greatly altered in
the last few years that the basic
figures Of 1880 census are no longer
to be relied on. Moreover, they be-
lieve that the new census should be
more comprehensive than any hitherto
made.
Not only is the Government in the
dark as to employment and unem-
ployment, but no one knows what

This rider. it was freely admitted,

The rider is contained in the pro-

confuse every activity in the schools

aghast at its possibilities.
Under it teachers may not be per-

A sales tax on all forms of tobacco
is expected to be recommended by the
Commissioners when they 90 before the
Special Tax Subcommittee of the
House District Committee Tuesday To
submit their own program for raising
additional revenue to offset an antjci-
pated s6,0o0,00o deficit in the coming
fiscal year.
The Commissioners, 1t is reported,
also will propose an increase of / cent

insurance companies and a weight tax
on motor vehicles.
sales tax on tobacco is understood
TO nave been suggested to the Commits
sloners by special committee of Dis
trict officials appointed some months
ago to study plans for raising addi-
tional revenue. 1t has been estimated
such a tax might yield about $500 900

turn of about 81 year per capita from

Gas Tax Increase.
An increase in the gasoline tax,
weight tax on motor vehicles and a tax
on insurance companies is provided in
the series Of nine Collins tax bills now
before the tax subcommittee. The
Commissioners, however, plan to urge
certain notifications in these meas
ures.

one set up in the Collins motor vehicle
weight tax bill is to be suggested, but,
coupled with this, the Commissioners
are planning to urge continuation
of the present personal property tax
on automobiles. The Collins weight
tax measure would remove the per.
sonal property tax, but the Commits
sioners are said to favor retention Of
this tax primarily to prevent the
owner of used car from paying the
same tax as the owner of new car
of the same type.

the gasoline tax is provided in another

missioners are said to take the position

LONDON, April 24.-Belgium will
serve as listening post" to help ward
off aerial invasion Of Great Britain in
time of war, it was disclosed tonight
as the foreign Office published the
text Of the Anglo-French note to
Brussels releasing the Belgium gov
ernment from it's Locarno obligations,
but binding it to defend its frontiers
against aggression by air, land or
sea.
Perhaps even more significant than
the note itself is the news that Pierre
Cot, the French Air Minister, is fly
ing to London Wednesday. He is
coming to address a peace demonstra-
ton in Albert Hall, but is expected
to pass much of his time at the
British air ministry, perfecting plans
for joint action by the British and
French flying forces in case Germany
moves westward, as in 1914.
In addition to conferring with gov
ernment officials, Cot will meet
Winston Churchill, who has repeat
edly warned against the menace of
the rapidly-growing German air force.
Cots visit, coming on the heels of
that of Frances Defense Minister,
Eduord Daladier, is another sign that
the staff talks between Britain and
France are about to be renewed and
intensified. Belgium originally par
tlcipated in these staff talks which
began after Hitler remilitarized the
Rhineland. Now that Belgium is
withdrawing from it's defensive al
lance with Britain and France, there
is all the more reason for these two
countries to coordinate their defense
strategy.

to Spokane to play Gonzaga in a night
game.
1t was a foggy night, with the flood
lights lot doing their best in an illumi-
nation way. Visibility on the field and
stands was sub-normal. It wa like
playing in candlelight.
The Bobcats won the toss, electing
to kickoff. Max Krause, Gonzaga full
back, now with the New York Giant
pro team, raced to a touchdown after
he picked the ball off the ground in
the end zone. 1t was a case of Button,

Chance Tackle Ruined Both
Gonzaga then kicked off. Fred Keen
an, Bobcat back, got the ball and set
off or his long journey to match the
run and touchdown of Krause. Fred
had easy sailing tearing, off yardage
he was downed by Krause. Max had
already tackled n Bobcat. Observing
that the first tackled Bobcat did not
have the ball, he was intent to keep on
tackling. He saw someone running
along the sideline.
Krause hotfooted after the runner,
making a grand tackle. Both men went
down, and stayed down. Coaches and
trainers ruShed onto the 1leld to ad-
minister first aid. Krause was able to
get up. keenan,. the tackled Bobcat,
had to be carried from the field. He
was through for the day.
No Lights, No Touchdown
Not for 10 minutes was Keenan, able
to come out Of his coma. When he did
stir and open his eyes, he saw Coach
Schubert Dyche working over him.
Still somewhat groggy from the hard
tackle. Keenan, apoiogetically told his
coach something, then slipped back to
another fadeout.
Coach, if the lights hadn't gone out
entirely, I would have made a touch
down."

There may be easier ways to earn
$50 than to stand up for 81 rounds Of
fighting. but in 1883. Jasper Sorrenson
and E. Grenier were satisfied to pocket
so bucks, when they exchanged punches
at the Butte gymnasium. Because Gren-
Ter was unable to get up in the saith
round after being knocked down with
a right to the neck. the referee raised
the hand of Sorrenson.
According to a newspaper report of
the bout, an effort was made to sell
pools on the result, but it was mo CO."
The fight wa to be for a $50 side
