BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 20.
Father Joseph L. Lucas, S. j., who
recently returned here for a few
months vacation from the Philip
pine Islands, where he has been
engaged in missionary duties for
10 years, is spending part of his
time completing a dictionary Of
the Visayan dialect.
The Visayan-EngliSh dictionary
lists $4,000 words with an example
for each word. Visayan is the

of Mindanao and in a modified

SPECULATORS
ROUTED

California's fruit growers, playing Da-
vid to eastern spectators Goliath, have
won great victory for this states thou
sands of producers
A few weeks ago, before spectators
started their "bearish" campaign. the
trade in the east was eager to make pur-
chases and was n c i p a t in price
increase for California dried fruits of
II to ID per cent over 1886. Then came a
buying slump. California growers believ-
ed it was planned deliberately by the spe-
culators who hoped to reap profits by
bear raid on one of CALIFORNIA; most
important agricultural industries by a
bear raid on one of California's most i'm
portant agricultural industries. Ware
housing contracts under which fruit
crops are contracted for in advance, but
with the price fixed only on the date that
delivery is demanded, supplied specu-
lators with an easy means of manipulate
ing prices-or so they thought.
But growers banded together as the
California Dried Fruit Sterilization COM
mlttee some two weeks ago. They were
determined to hold the states S75,000,000
fruit crop off the market entirely rather
than let it be depressed to starvation
levels by speculative middlemen.
In short order, farmers achieved
resounding victory. Apricot growers, to
mention but one group, last week had
profited more than S250,OO0 in three days
as result of price increases offered by
the tradei Peaches and all other dried
fruits are soon expected to follow suit.
Farm leaders are saying that never in
the agricultural history of this state
has growers campaign for improved
economic conditions accomplished so
much in so short a time as the move
successfully carried through by the Cali
fornia Dried Fruit Sterilization COM
mittee. Spectators, take warming!

to the due process clause to the commerce clause
and to the general welfare clause. Nearly all OF
the spurious constitutional obstructons to the
New Deal program have been removed
As for the rest of the New Deal program
it is not accurate to say that this session OF
the Congress has been failure. 1he housing
legislation and the tax-loophole legislation have
been passed.
The wages and hours bnl has been passed
by the Senate and has been delayed in the House
only through a usurpation of authority that is
generally deplored and cannot possibly be per-
sisted in when the Congress reconvenes. The
reorganization plan has been reported out of
committee in both Houses. The farm program
and the regional development program have
undergone discussion that will vastly simplify
next sessions work by the committees to which
they have been referred.
But over and above these specific measures
the Democratic party has succeeded in the even
broader task of beating off attempts to divide
the party against itself by those who went down
to defeat in 1886 and hope by this means to
regain their old powers and their old privileges.
The Democratic party realizes that politically
and economically the welfare of north and
south east and west, city and country are mex
tricably bound together, are interdependent, each
upon ALL
The advance of the New Deal has not been
halted. There may be some who have not the
courage of their faith. But honest difference
of opinion as to the most effective ways and
means of accomplishing New Deal objectives must
not be mistaken for opposition to New Deal OBJ
jectives. The onward march of New Deal de-
mocracy will not be stopped by those whose
cries of split and failure wishful thinking

Treasury officials indicate that taxa
tion of investment profits will be one of
the principal questions studied in their
general tax survey. Representatives Gel
Ter, Democrat of New York, has made
public a letter asking Secretary Morgen-
thau's opinion of outright repeal of the
capital gains and losses section of the
income tax law.
A general overhauling of the Federal
tax structure at the next session of Con-
gress, has been proposed by President
Roosevelt. The treasury, in its prepar-
atory study, is giving especial attention
to two points, the undistributed earnings
tax on corporations and the capital gains
and losses section of the income tax law
Representative Celler urges ten points
against the capital gains and losses sec
tion of the income tax law. They are: l,
1t fails to distinguish between capital
and income; 2, 1t gives insufficient al
lowance for net capital losses; 3, 1t ac-
centuates business cycles; 4, 1t deters
financing of new enterprises; 5, 1t i'm
pedes the fluidity OF capital; 6, 1t penal
ICES simplifieation of corporate struc-
lures; Z, 1t taxes price level fluctuations;
8, 1t soaks the poor who have to liquidate;
9, 1t stimulates tax avoidance; TO- 1t
fails to produce much revenue.
Representative Celler's letter to Secre-
tary Morgenthau said: 81 do indeed hope
you and the officials of your department
have now realized the impotency of the
capital gains and losses tax as a revenue
producer and the Encouragement it has
been to economic recovery. We have had
the present rate since 1884. Sufficient
time has elapsed to judge its effects. I
have consulted scores of experts, manu-
facturers, merchants and other taxpay-
ers. There seems to be universal con-
demnation. Officials high in your de-
partment and in other branches of the
administration feel the time has come at
least to revalue and regauge the efficacy
of this form of tax. Your judgment is
invaluable. / do hope your conclusions

NEW YORK, Sept. 7. = Perhaps
no one in the business of writing
had such a skyrocxety upshoot and
fell with such a dull pink as the
wildly coiffed Joan Lowell. Whether
or not Joan's widely discussed and
doubted book "Cradie of the Deep"
was authentic makes little differ
ence now.
1t was a lively liver-shaker in
day when publishing books SEEM
ed bit moribund. And Joan be-
came one of the surefire head
turner's in the cafes and at first
nights, as much so indeed as the
enormously publicized Libby Hol-
man, whom she resembled, is at
the moment.
Joan married and was divorced
from the playwright, Thompson
Buchanan. And she embarked on
another voyage around the world
in a leaky tub that got no further
than Sandy Hook. Then somehow
her star of destiny slid into eclipse
and she was heard from only at
intervals.
Now 1t develops Joan has not only
said goodbye to literature forever,
but also to America in general and
New York in particular. She is in
Guarajua. Brazil, running a health
station for the government and is
tanned to the coppery bronze of

lished works, chiefly poetry, are
less than a half dozen thin volumes,
and her articles in Vanity Fair and
The New Yorker were always scan

true, came from her wiSe-cracks,
any number of which were not
really hers. But she was a good
peg to hang them on. Anyway

Farley is the No. 1 Human Enigma

smoke, use profanity, and no one
hears him tell an off-color story,
even in relaxing moments with in
Inmates. And he is about the most
devoted family man anywhere.
Farley has perhaps the greatest
capacity extant for remembering
faces and names. He never misses
fire, no matter how much time has
elapsed between meetings. There
are, of course, any number who
have nothing but jeers for his rec
ord as a boxing official and for
certain tricks in politics, but usually
even his detractors wind up tossing

Named as one of Georgia's mas
ter farmers of 1897, Norman owns
1000 acres near Hartwell and he
has no tenant problem, although
there are 90 share choppers and six
renting tenants on his land. All of
Norman's tenants agree to a pro-
gram which he has mapped out
after years of experimenting, but
which would not be difficult for
any land holder to follow.
Each share-cropper must plant
small portions of his plot in clover
and peas and the remainder is divi-
ded between cotton, corn, oats,
wheat, sorghum and one acre of
garden. The diversification insures
the tenants of at least some crops
in case unfavorable weather con-
dition or pests destroy the others.
His generous garden space assures
him of food for himself and his
family almost the year around. BY
