 Some of these, 1t was admitted might be passed in drastically re- viaed form, carrying comparatively small appropriations.
 A proposed schedule for legisla- tion has reached the point at which certain house leaders are prepared if necessary, to expedite the su- prerne court program by resorting to house petition. Tn addition they are working to complete ac- ton on all appropriation bills, in cluding the $500, 100000 work re- lief bill by May 15.
 Reorganization Plans
 The joint House Senate commit tee on government reorganization was being prodded to hurry its drafting bill. Leaders are work ing for complete measure which can be pushed toward passage be- fore summer.

SIX STEPS TO RUIN

Unless the constantly widening gap
between government income and out
go is closed. writes Roger w. Babson,
one of the outstanding American
economists, six financially ruinous
consequences will result:
First, continued deficits ultimate
Iy lead to fear of government credit.
Second, unsound public credit
means unwillingness to lend the gov
ernment money to pay its bills.
Third, the treasury is forced to
print paper money to pay its deficits.
Fourth. the paper money falls like
a meteor in value as prices shoot
sky-high.
Fifth, the buying power of sala-
ries, wages, savings accounts, insur-
ance policies, and bonds drop to
practically nothing.
Sixth, the ruined, starving mid
dle-class take the reins of govern
ment by force to bring order out of
chaos" ~
Mr.. Babson does not think 1t too
late to put the governments finan-
cial house in order but quick action
Is essential. On a per-person basis
Federal expenses since 1860 have in
creased from 50 to s55 year. The
average American family of five has
IN income of s1.700. 1t owes as its
share of the soaring national debt,
1875. In addition to owing this
iebt it must pay 1915 annually in
Federal taxes alone. Only an ag-
yressive public demand for re-
and a balanced budget
an save us from the "six steps to
'uin" Mr. Babson describes. a

REPEAL A TAX, AND In
CREASE TAX REVENUES

Repeal of the capital gains section
of the income tax law (under which
profit on sales of securities or other
capital assets must be included as
ineome) would increase the Federal
governments revenue by approxi-
mately $250.00O,000 annually.
This rather startling opinion
comes from a high informed source.
Morris S. Tremaine. comptroller of
New York State.
The higher governmental revenues
that would follow repeal of the cap
ital gains levy. Mr.. Tremaine believes
would be caused directly by increases
in the turnover tax on securities,
which is now discouraged because
security holders refuse to sell and be
taxed excessively on capital gains;
and indirectly as a result of wide
spread business pickup and reem-
ployment. if capital gain could be
taken without penalty and used for
new developments. Repeal of the
levy would put stop to the heavy
current exodus of American capital
into foreign markets. 1t is authori-
tatively estimated that American
money is going into Canada alone
at the rate of S1.000.000 a day-be-
cause investors find it necessary to
escape the capital gains tax. which
becomes excessively burdensome in
the upper brackets.
1t is reported that there is a strong
under way in Congress to
repeal the levy. and bill to this end |
will come up for consideration. The |
great bulk of economists are of the !
opinion that the levy has almost no |
that it does have long |
list of serious vices. Its repeal would
Lhaw out millions of dollars of in |
active capital, cause a major up
urn in construction, increase gov
income. and help solve the
grave unemployment problem by en-
private activity. Con-
,ressmen who will lead the move
nent to repeal or amend this dan
,erous levy are rendering a distinct
lublic service.

AUNT AGATHA TRAVELS IN
SAFETY

II Is with decided feeling of re-
lief and gratitude that one may turn
from considering the horrifying
slaughter of the nations highways
to the almost unbelievable safety
record achieved by the American
railroads. The automobile measures
its victims in the tens of thousands.
but the railroads operate day after
day, year in and year out. and pass
enger fatalities could be counted on
the fingers of one hand.
Robert S. Henry of the Association
of American Railroads recently
pointed out just how safe ,he lines
have become: "On the basis of the
average record for the past seven
years, passenger could have tray-
eled more than 2,560,0O0.G0O miles
without meeting death in a train
accident. Even at the accelerated
speed of the latest passenger trains
in operation today, that would mean
continuous movement, day ard night,
for nearly 5000 years.
What has made this miracle poss-
ible? The answer is simple. untiring.
relentless, scientific research, coup
led with an able, aggressive manage
ment quick to adopt new innovations
as soon as proven practical. In the
old days there were fifty-six sizes
and kinds of axles for freight cars
now there is one standard design. |
Not so long ago there were twenty
different kinds of brake shoes-now
there is one standard design. Once |
there were twenty-six kinds of car !
couplers-now there is one standard |
design. And so it goes. Hardly day |
passes but that some little change |
occurs making for greater dependa-
bility, passenger comfort and safety. |
The next time you hurry to the |
depot to meet Aunt Agatha, |
Or are disturbed in your slumbers by
the lonely but familiar waiting toot
Of the midnight express, remember
hat railroads are the safest, as we'll
as the most efficient and economical
Iorm of transportation ever devised
by man.

Among the sweetest words that
man has heard must be placed the
utterance of the Risen Christ to His
faithful Apostle at the time of His
greatest distress. "My Grace is suffi-
cient for YOU"
1t is happy day when the Spirit
of God respeaks these words into the
soul of a believer.
And God is speaking them to you.
But my case is EXCEPTIONAL" ex-
claims Mrs. Littlefaith.
"Your life is indeed exceptional,
Mrs. Littlefaith. You do seem TO have
had more than your share of trou-
BILE, financial loss, sickness and sor-
rev, but there can be no exceptional
cases with God"
There can be no cases beyond the
sufficiency of His Grace!
And why is this? Simply because
of the fact that as ones need arises,
the Grace of God for us will also in
crease to help us meet that larger
need and the grace that God gives
us will always be sufficient, however
great our need might be.
1t is true that God does not give
us grace in advance of our need. He
does not give us grace today to meet
tomorrow's needs. But tomorrow He
will give us grace sufficient for to-
needs.
Read the blessed promise: And
God is able to make all grace
lbound toward you; that We, always
having all sufficiency in all things.
nay abound to every good work.
o soul, distressed and burdened,
ealize this blessed fact and believe !
with all your heart. that Gods !
race is all sufficient TO Keep ycu
nd to sustain you.
Your exceptional case" will bring /
ou exceptional grace"

method OF checking plant disease

year by year.
More than $4,000 pounds OF sur

price-dressed markets in order to in

distributed In Delaware during 1885
to needy and unemployed persons

state the Federal Surplus Commodi-
ties Corporation announced.
The surplus products were re-
moved from the markets by the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administration
and the Federal Surplus Commodities

various state relief agencies, In con-
nection with programs designed to
improve returns to producers, en-
courage domestic consumption OF

The commodities distributed in
Delaware included the following:
beef, 60,017 pounds; evap-

Crop rotation is a simple way to
keep plant diseases under control
but one of the best, according to
United States Department of Agricul-
ture crop specialists.
Rotating a wilt resistant variety
of fax with small grains and corn
is one example. Flax, although
grown like small grain crop, be-
longs to family of plants widely
separated from the grass family to
which wheat, oats. barley, rye and
corn belong, and is not attacked by
the same diseases that iRjure grains.
Flax has it's own diseases such as
rust. wilt and leaf spot, but these in
turn do not attack small grains. A
variety of fax susceptible to wilt,
however, must be grown on clean
land. as ordinary rotations do not
destroy the wilt organism in fax
sick soil.
Many diseases of cotton are check
ed by growing other crops. In cot
ton fields in Texas where root rot
is serious. losses may be reduced
by rotating with grain crops and
by deep tillage. Cotton wilt is one
disease, however, which has not been
successfully checked by changing
crops though rotation with soil build
ing crops is an important supple
factor in decreasing wilt dam /,
age and increasing yields. Wilt has |
been found in cotton in a field that |
had not been in cotton for several |
years.
Root knot of tobacco is checked |
by rotating with peanuts, crotalaria,
pats or a natural weed fallow. Gran
Vile wilt of tobacco is controlled |
by growing corn, cotton, or sweet
potatoes. Department men have
iound that a 4-year rotation with
ordinary field crops checks black
shank of tobacco in western North
CAROLINA. This rotation does not
work in Florida. however.
Disease specialists say that the
'ery simplicity of rotations often
ause them to be overlooked as a
