Bv the Associated Press.

WILMINGTON, Del, July L.
President Roosevelt is not notary
public. 50 three of his White House
aides today had to wait until one could
be found before becoming full-hedged
presidential secretaries.
Stephen T. Early and Marvin H.
Mcintyre. assistant secretaries, and
James Roosevelt administrative as
sistant, at varying salaries, became
full secretaries at $4,000 year under
the independent offices appropriation
act.
They were to have taken the oath
last night on the Presidents special
train at the station near Wilmington,
but after the President and James ar
rived an hour late from the Du Pont
reception, it was explained the Presi-
dent, who was to have officiated, was
without authority to administer the
oath.
Hence, Mcintyre may try to find a
stray notary during the President s
stay at Hyde Park, N. Y.
Early and James probably will take
the oath in Washington. They did not
accompany the boss" to Hyde Park.
Mcintyre and Early are now assist
ant secretaries at $4,000 a year. James
receives around $4,000 as an admin
lstrative assistant.

Voice From Senate
By SEN. c.. ELMER JOHNSON,
From Pine and Chisago Counties

In previous sessions it has been
ture to adjourn over Saturdays and
Sundays. This year a new program
is being tried out. One week they
remain in session on Saturday, the
week following they adjourn from
Thursday until Monday. This being
a short session week, the ground COW
cred was limited
Committees Getting Busy.
The scrap is on in the committee
on appropriations. The house COM
mittee voted out bill for an emer-
gency allotment to take care of old
age assistance. The senate commit
tee on finance sent the bill back to
the house on the technical point that
no funds were available in the state
general revenue fund and charged
that no provisions had been provided
the inevitable pickering between the
two legislative bodies.
AS promised the house tax COM
mittee is submitting a proposal for
broadening and increasing the net in
come tax. 1t is claimed that this
bill will more than double the rev.
enue from that source.
Increased iron ore taxes are sought
and resolutions for and against are
pouring in.
Distribution of New Revenue.
Should these increases materialiZe.
the fight will center on how to USE
the new funds. The income tax has
gone entirely to schools on a per cap
tia basis. 1t is now proposed to pay
a part of the income tax returns on
the per capita basis and the balance
to the special school fund so that
school aid may be paid in full, also
for transportation aid. The special
school aid is now pro-rated according
to funds available and will possibly
be as low as 500 for the payment
now due. This increase in school
aid will be welcome to the local
school districts but, of course, would
not improve the finances of the state
general revenue fund.
Any increase in iron ore tax will
also go partly to the school fund. So
