PARTY LEADERS
SEEK DIVISION IN
MARYLAND RACE
New Deal Issue in
Senate Fight
BY THEODORE HUNTLEY

A clear cleavage between sena.
torial and gubernatorial cam.
paigns in Maryland appeared to
be the wish of party leaders on
both sides today as it's most hectic
week so far came to close.
Governor Nice made only a
single passing reference to the
New Deal and national issues in
his speech of Thursday night say
ing he would run for reelection.
This was a back-handed slap at
spending. He cracked down on
Democratic antagonists in Mary.
land, but stuck closely to State
questions s-obviously in the hope
that the governorship contest cau
be fought out on that basis.
Democratic comment in the
wake of The speech and the cam.
paign statements of the several
Democratic candidates as they
toured the State revealed Simt.
lar purpose to keep the campaigns
separate. The gubernatorial
aspirantS, both in public express
sions and in Wariness about tie-
ups with senatorial Contenders,
left no doubt as to their desire not
to mix State and national issues.
NEW DEAL THE ISSUE
In the Tydings-Lewis skirmish-
ing it was equally clear that the
issue will be the New Deal-the
hundred percenters against the in
and-out philosophy of Democratic
performance. Although there
were cynical predictions that Sen
ator Tydings will be invited to
the White House for lunch if he
comes through winner, and that
the President will be glad in that
event to kiss and make up," as
he did in the case of Senator
Gillette in Iowa, following his
smashing success there, it was
plain enough that he has fight
on his hands to win the Demo
cratic nomination.
TROUBLE FOR TYDINGS
Montgomery county and prob-
ably Prince Georges as we'll, hot
beds of New Deal strength, are
expected to give the Senator some
of his worst moments. There is
plenty of hostile sentiment in
both counties. His opposition to
the President on the Supreme
Court, reorganization and other
issues is deeply resented by the
younger element, particularly in
Montgomery county, soundings
show. The jobholders are divided
there as in Prince Georges-those
which owe their allegiance to him,
or to Senators Tydings and Rad
cliffe together, being inclined to
back him, the others being largely
against him.

'BROPHY ASSAILS.
p POLICE IN ROW.
IN new ORLEANS.
Charge Of Anarchists
Hurled by Clio Leader

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 2
GN.SO The CIO replied today
to charges it is a Communist
inspired organization with the
claim that New Orleans police
who have been fighting CIO
directed strikes, have become
anarchists, tearing down the
temple of human rights"
The label anarchist was flung
at the police department by
John Brophy, national executive
director of the CIO, who rushed
here to head union forces after
police began arresting unionists
by the hundreds and escorting
many of them out of town.
Addressing a meeting of ap,
proXimately 1000 striking truck
drivers and taximen last night
Brophy said the police were act
ing as "the tools of tappers and
miners of constitutional rights" "
CHARGES ABUSE
TT is going to take more
than an abuse of power to stop
the growth of labor organization
in New Orleans, which is just
beginning" he said.
The meeting was addressed by
a dozen CIO leaders, all of whom
were cheered as they declared the
strikes of truckmen and cab
drivers would be continued until
their demands were met, regard
less of police interference.
Meanwhile, the city looked for
a possible spread of sympathy
walkouts. Last night $50 drivers
for the Yellow Cab Company
struck for increased pay. There
was no violence and not even the
main garage of the company was
picketed.
AS Brophy worked to coordinate
the CIO forces, reaction was
awaited to the action at Baton
Rouge, where the State legislature
unanimously adopted a resolution
urging that Communism in the
State be quickly uprooted.
STRIKE AT ALIENS
The legislatures resolution did
rot name the CIO, but struck at
"alien emissaries and agitators. ~
A tie-up between the resolution
and the CIO activities here was
given, however, by Representative
James c. Buie, of Franklin, who
attacked Brophy as communist
"fresh from the Soviet" Buie, q
co-author of the anticommunist
resolution, expressed surprise that
Erophy was permitted to speak
here.
Il am surprised" Buie de-
clared, that the people of New
Orleans will allow such a man
to speak and possibly incite a
not and possibly cause blood
she'd"
Buie's declaration came before
the meeting addessed by Brophy
which passed off quietly and with
cnly three policemen present.
Brophy also vas attacked as a
communist by Representative
James McCurnin, who said the
CIO leader was a director of the
communist party in this country
McCurnin charged also that Sid
ney Hillman. president of the
CLOS Amalgamated Clothing
Workers Union, was pro Soviet.

Profits Tax
Raise Drive
May Die
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM

1.N.SD Possibility the Admins
tratlon may abandon efforts to
bring about Congressional reenact,
ment of heavier penalty taxes on
undlstributed corporate earnings
and restoration of high gradu-
ated tax on capital gains was seen
today in Treasury quarters.
Although President Roosevelt
refused to sign the Revenue Act
of 1888, which modified drastically
both these controversial tax pro-
visions, and in a militant speech
at Arthurdale, w. Va, declared
his intention of recommending
another tax measure in January,
fiscal officials were of the opin-
ion that if business improves no
such proposal will be made.
NO REVENUE STUDIES
No new revenue studies have
been initiated by the Treasury
since passage of the new tax bill.
Secretary Morgenthau earlier this
week revealed the President had
made no recommendations to the
fiscal experts and that no tax
conference is scheduled until
September.
This delay is interpreted as in
dicating the Administration will
await business developments dur
ing the intervening months. If
economic conditions show suffi.
cient improvement to assure con.
tinuation of healthy Federal rev.
enues in 1899, there is a strong
likelihood the present tax struc-
ture will not be disturbed.
SENATE OPPOSED
Another factor that may lead
to abandonment of the fight for
restoration of many of the old
features of the undistributed prof.
its and capital gains tax is the
intense congressional opposition,
particularly in the Senate.
The selection of John w. Hanes
as Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury to succeed Undersecre.

ury's tax chief also portends
maintenance of existing scales

PROFITS
NEAR LAST YEAR
NET EARNINGS TO STATE FOR
NOVEMBER $142,Ss5, STATE AID
MNISTRATOR REPORTS

Net profits of the Montana
liquor monopoly reached their
highest peak of the year during
November and came within about
4 percent of the earnings for the
corresponding month of 1887, L.
M. A. WaSs, administrator of the
state liquor control system, re-
ported.
He said net earnings Of the depart
ment for November were SAP 1852,
compared with $130,488.23 for October
1888 and S145,746.37 for November,
1887.
The administrators report pointed
out there has been a gradual increase
in the earnings of the system as the
1888 calendar year progressed and that
reductions of operating expenses, and
other savings, had resulted in an in
crease in the percentage of net profits
to sales despite the drop in gross bust
ness during the two periods.
November, 1888, liquor sales totaled
1862 ZOO but the merchandise cost
S374,545.60, leaving q gross profit OF
$l88, 581. From that sum was deducted
various operating expenses, leaving a
net profit for the month Of $l42, 1852.
That total is 81 percent, or $3,35O.8 IS
less than the net for the same month
year earlier.
Inc AQItAlASbIdbJl ANROAk oAoN
showed total net earnings from oper-
alton of the LIQUOR and beer depart
ments Of $2,2S6,e46.65 for the first IL
months of the year.
Using that figure and estimating De-
cember income, Administrator WasS
predicted the earnings Of the system
for the first two years under the new
state law enacted by the 1887 legisla-
ture would be "in excess of $5.OO0,OO
The states income from the liquor
source was $2,870, 900 in 1887.
The liquor department has account
ed for 81 Dol ,15l.O1 of this years IL
month earnings, while the remainder,
S485, 1854 came from beer licenses ana
taxes. The net profit from liquor sales
has amounted TO S1,151, 1885 and
revenue derived from sale Of liquor
licenses is $277, ESQ, while the 50-cent-

PUMP IRRIGATION
SHOWS INCREASE
FIVE PROJECTS COMPLETED IN
ROSEBUD COUNTY DURING
LAST YEAR

With five projects completed
this year and two surveyed that
will be ready for operation next
spring. interest in pump irrigation
in Rosebud county is increasing,
according to Frank Barnum, county
extension agent.
OF the projects completed this year,
two are furnishing water for alfalfa
fields, two supply water for sugar beets,
and one furnishes water for corn, oats
and a farm garden. The largest prof.
ect involves the irrigation of so acres,
and the smallest IS acres.
Several of the pumps used on these
projects are made of metal and pat
termed after the homemade wooden
pump developed by the Montana ag-
ricultural experiment station. Under
low lifts these have proved to be ef-
ficient in operation.
Probably the greatest possibilities Of
any project yet surveyed in the county
is one laid out this fall for Walter
Luhman. When completed this will
cover more than 200 acres Of good river
bottom land This is all good beet land,
Barnum said, and with a nominal
amount of leveling it will have an ideal
slope for irrigation. Since the lift will
vary between 4 and IL feet. depending
upon the stage of the river, ample
water will be assured at very low cost
for both installation and power.
