neutral in primary campaign
The few exceptions are as follows:
The Glendale News and Miami Silver-Belt are sup
porting Zander.
Mesa ournal-Tribune is for Jones.
Arizona Fax the Arizona Plaindealer, and Phoenix
Messenger are supporting Kerby.
Dunbar's Weekly and The Young Democrat Of
Phoenix are boosting Osborn.
Such papers as the Bisbee Review, Prescott Cour-

editorial columns about the governors race.

CONGRESS MAKES
LITTLE PROGRESS
Night Sessions to Start To.
morrow in Effort to
End FiIibuSter.
By G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The weeks are slipping away, and
neither the House nor the Senate has
tackled single piece of major legis-
lation on the administra tions pro-
gram. The fourth week of the session
begins tomorrow.
The Senate has been tied in knot
over the anti-lynching bill. and no
let-up in the fight against it is in
sight. After caucus yesterday
Southern Senators announced the
battle would continue. and they were
sure that in the end the measure
would be laid aside.
The House has plowed ahead with
the regular annual appropriation bills
and passed three. the independent
ofaces. the Treasury and Post Office
and the Navy bills. 1t beat down the
effort the supporters. of the Ludlow
resolution for a referendum on war
by a narrow margin. and has agreed
to the conference report on the ad-
ministration's new housing bill.
OF the two measures which the
President particularly mentioned in
his annual message on the opening
day OF the session-the crop control
and the wage and hour bills-the first
is still in the conference stage and
nothing has been done about the
second.
Hope for Early Report.
The conferees on the crop-control
bill hope to be able to report this
week. The House Committee on
Labor. before which the wage and
hour bill is resting. has agreed to pro-
ceed with new bill, probably very
similar to that which was rejected
by the House at the special session.
Representative Norton of New Jersey,
chairman of the committee, has been
ill, and another week or two may
elapse before any further step is
taken.
While the President continues his
discussions with leaders of industry
and labor, legislation relating to busi-
ness and monopolies Is held in abey-
ance. The President maintains that
his conferences are having a bene-
ficial effect. Whether any attempt
will be made to bring in business
legislation, for a time at least, may
depend upon how these conferences
go. The President in his annual
message promised a special message
on monopolies and business practices
Business has been particularly de-
sirous that the administration reveal
its program. But so far, outside of
the Presidents discussions at his con-
ferences, both with business leaders

END THEATERTA TAX
Brady Says It's Poorhouse
Unless Levy Is Lifted
From Legitimates.
picture on Pace A. J

Veterans of the theater told the
House Ways and Means Committee
yesterday it was either tax relief or
the poorhouse for them.
They asked for repeal of the 10 per
cent admissions tax as it applies to
tickets to the legitimate theater.
William A. Brady. who said he was
the second oldest man in the theater
business. and Frank Gilmore, for 80
years an actor, said removal Of the
tax might mean the difference be-
tween life and death for the theaters.
Testifying at hearings on a tax re-
vision program, Mr.. Brady pleaded:
I'VE don't want to go to the poor
house. Please, please. help or try to
help save an institution whose record
Is magnificent--finda flaw in it-from
bankruptcy and the sheriff"
Hits Metropolitan Exemption.
Mr.. Brady aroused the interest of
the committeeman when he questioned
why the Metropolitan Opera House in
New York has been relieved of the tax
by the Treasury Department.
do you know" he continued, that
the Metropolitan Opera is foreign
institution? Once in a while, an
American singer appears, but 80 per
cent of the artists are foreigners.
This opera house pays no admis-
sion tax. because the Treasury De-
partment has ruled that it Is a cul-
tural institution. But so are the
legitimate theaters, and the Metro
politan Opera House is real estate
company with sl0.0O0.000 of property
owned by millionaires"
Representative Doughton. Democrat,
Of North Carolina. committee chair
man, interrupted to ask: DO I un-
derstand you to say that the Metro
politan Opera House is relieved by
Treasury regulations Of a tax i'm
posed by law?"
Yes, sir" Mr.. Brady replied. "The
Treasury's ruling was made 10 years
ago, and 1t has stood since"
Spectators "Greatest Evil"
Mr.. Gilmore, now president Of the
Associated Actors and Artists Of
America, called ticket spectators "the
greatest evil" of the theater busi-
ness. He suggested the admission tax
be wiped out and heavy tax placed
on all tickets sold at more than the
box Office price.
On behalf of the movie exhibitors,
Walter Vincent of New York request
ed that admissions costing up to so
cents be exempt from the admission
tax. There Is no levy now on tickets
selling for 40 cents or less.
