NogaleS persons who take a pride
in having nice lawns and flowers
will pay a. lower water rate than
heretofore for irrigation purposes
during the months of April, May
and June as a result of steps taken
at Mondays meeting of The Mayor
and Board of Aldermen.

minimum rate of 81 will provide
for 5000 gallons of water. Hereto
fore the gallonage was 5000 This
rate applies only for irrigation ~por-
poses.

result of the city administration CO.

rate applies only for irrigation pur-
city.
Rural Water Rate
A committee of citizens residing
outside the city along the Pata-
gonia road appeared before the
meeting Monday and protested
against recent passage of an ordi
ance increasing rural water rate
from 81 to SO for the first 5000
gallons used. No change in rate
was promised.
It was announced that the rural
rate was increased as means of
raising funds to apply on water
pumping equipment and it was
pointed out that persons living OUT
side the city paid no city taxes.
There was a hint at the meeting
that the suburban area might be
annexed to the city in the near

town of their own to be known as
either "Nogalitos' or Northeast
NogaleS" "

against his fellow directers,
Harcourt A. Morgan and David

2. Charges that Chairman
Morgan had obstructed the work
Of the IVA had been substant-
lated by proof, and
5. Therefore, Chairman Nor
gan was guilty of contumacious
conduct, justifying his removal.
Pointing out that Chairman
Morgan had repeatedly asserted
he would answer questions only tt
a congressional committee, Mr.
Roosevelt added:
obviously, there can be no
objection to hearings before
such a committee. But the Con-
gress will, am sure, realize that
If any member of the executive
branch of the government, OF
high or low degree, is given the
right by precedent to refuse to
substantiate general charges
against other members Of the
executive branch of government
and to insist on disclosing speci-
fications only to a committee OF
the Congress, efficient admin
-istrative management of gov
eminent would be destroyed in
short order"
jackson, in his opinion, strongly
supported the right of the Execu
tive to remove Morgan, which Il
challenged by some Congressiona
authorities.
He cited the Myers ana Hum
phreys cases, which were decides
by the Supreme Court. Myers,
Portland (Ore.) postmaster, VIII
was removed by Woodrow Wilson
the Court upheld the President
power of removal. In the case o:
Humphreys, Federal Trade Com
missioner, who was removed by
President Roosevelt, the Court
held the President did not have
the power of removal because o1
the quasi-judicial nature Of the
Trade Commission.
These distinguishing factors
are not present in the case OF
the IVA" said Jackson. 1T does
not exercise quasi-legislatjve or
quasi.judicial functions. -"

Answering the accusation of sena-

nett. newspaper publisher, today
called for q vigorous citizens drive
on the Presidents reorganization
bill and to abolish Mintou's Sen

Speaking as chairman Of the
National Committee to Uphold
Constitutional Government, Can
nett reported in radio broadcast
that two investigators from the

And the investigators reported
that If the subpoena was not hon

Gannett asserted:
There can be no discussion
Of government, no free exercise
of religion if the home and Of

drive against the Senate COM
mittee and the reorganization bill,
Gannett asserted:
''Never in the history Of the
country has any President held
such dangerous powers to coerce
and dominate and destroy the
independence Of Congress as
those powers now being welded
by President Roosevelt"
Minton, in Washington, issued
a prepared statement, denying
Gannett's charges that the COM
mittee has been coercive and has
violated the private rights of
citizens.
"Mr. Gannett's loose talk about
legal procedure deserves little
attention." it said. However,
it may be stated that contrary
to the impression he attempts
to make, the Senate lobby in
veStigating committee has been
upheld in every court proceed
ing wherein it has been a party
itigant."

However, the gas has not been

War reserve requirements, In
Guiding planes, guns, ammunition

committee said.
1890 PLANES PLANNED
Reflecting the rapid change in
war tactics, the supply bill grants
1924, 900, 900. or % per cent Of the
total, for military aviation. BY
July /, 1910, a year ahead Of time
previously set for expansion. the
Army will have 1920 planes.
"There is evidence in the pos
session Of the. committee that
we greatly excel any power in
the world in naval aviation and
that, from the standpoint Of
project airplanes on hand, on
order, and remaining to be or
dered under funds heretofore
made available, both Army and
Navy, we are excelled only by
the British empire" said the
committee report.
The bill provides for continue

SALE OF HELIUM
TO GERMANY IS
HELD UP BY U. S.
.Ickes PonderS Pledge
Barring War Use

| G.NS0 More than 19,80O,0Oo
cubic feet of helium gas for in
flation Of Germany's new trans
oceanic Zeppelin awaited shipment
at Amarillo, Tex, today as Inte-
rior Department officials here
pondered q means of obtaining
definite assurance from Germany
that the gas was for commercial
purposes only.
A contract calling for the sale
of the gas, on which the United
States enjoys a monopoly, to the
German Zeppelin Company has
been prepared but not signed by
either party because Secretary Of
Interior Ickes has been unable
| to determine just how Germany
should prove that the gas is not
for military service.
EUROPEAN TENSION
The present European tension,
marked by Hitler's recent annexa-
ton of Austria, developed the
"stalemate" regarding the nom
inflammable, nonexplosive gas
which Germany has said will be
used only to initiate the new
LZ-3O, larger sister-ship Of the ILL
fated Hindenberg which exploded
and burned with'a loss Of SO lives
at Lakehurst, N. j., last May 6.
The Hindenburg was inflated with
hydrogen.
Congress recently passed legis-
lation enabling the Government
to sell its highly desirable gas to
any nation that could prove that
the gas would not be used for war
purposes. Any contract involving
sale of helium to q foreign nation
includes such a clause and makes
the Secretary Of Interior respon-
sible.

TERMS OF BILL

| TERMS OF BILL
The Connally bill would in war
time impose personal surtax rates
beginning at 6 per cent on the first
$1,000 of net income after $500
exemption, and rise to 80 per cent
on net incomes exceeding $4,000
annually.
For corporations there would be
stipulated a system of gradu-
ated taxes based on the theory Of
the undistributed profits tax. Cor.
porations retaining all of their
earnings would be taxed n per
cent, with lower rates depending
upon the amount Of earnings dis
tributed.
The proposed wartime schedule
for personal taxes would raise ST..
800 ,000,0 900 in revenue based on
1928 incomes, Treasury experts
figured. No estimates were made
on the proposed corporation tax.
PROGRAM IN PERIL
Meanwhile, the Administration
lined up its forces in the Senate
to prevent wrecking of the New
Deals taxation policies. A hostile
majority in the Senate Finance
Committee was expected to report
revisions in the HouSe-approved
revenue bill which are unaccept-
able to the President.
Like wildfire the cry for outright
repeal of the undistributed profits
tax and for drastic modification. If
not repeal, of the capital gains
levy was spreading through the
Senate wing of the Capitol.
SUPPORT SOUGHT
Virtually having given up hope
Of blocking the revolt in the
Finance Committee, Administra-
ton leaders were quietly campaign
ing among Democratic Senator'S
to stand by the President" The
revenue act of 1888 still has many
hurdles to Jump before it be-
comes law, one of which is the
secret conference at which man
ayers for the Senate and House
try to compose differences, it was
pointed out.
President Roosevelt was re-
ported by intimates to be prepar-
ing for a fight to prevent scuttling
of the corporate undistributed
earnings tax, and he also wants
to have imposed special taxes
upon closely-held or so-called
family corporations, it was said.
SECRET SESSIONS
Tomorrow the committee will
begin secret session to consider
amendments to the House-passed
bill. First to be decided is
whether it will reopen its public
hearings to receive testimony on
a proposed rider by Senator Pope
CD of Idaho, providing for about
$212,000,000 in revenue through
what he terms a tariff equaliza-
, ton tax on professors Of major
farm products.
This revenue is desired by the
farm bloc for distribution to
farmers who cooperate in the gen.
eral crop control program but
Chairman Pat Harrison contends
the Pope bill should be considered
separately and originate in the
House.
Committee sentiment appeared
to be backing away from the La
Toilette proposal to lower exemp-
tions on personal incomes of mar
ried persons from $4,000 to $4,000
and on single persons from $1,000
to $500. Such a change would
) yield $71,OOO,OO0 additional rev
enue.

DR.. Rumely once before defied
the committees authority to sub.
poena the constitutional groups

On advice Of counsel, Elisha
Hanson, who has had previous
experience with the lobby com
mittee, Rumely steadfastly refused
to turn over specific records and
correspondence dealing with the
committees admitted $4,000 cam
paign against the Government
reorganization bill, and other Ad-
ministration measures.
MINTON CHARGES CONTEMPT
Following brief hearing, Chair
man Minton CD of Indiana in
dicated strongly the committees
next move will be to consider
whether Rumely's refusal to com
ply with the committees request
constitutes contempt Of the
Senate.
Does this mean contempt Of
the Senate?" Minton was asked.
In my Judgment it does"
Minton replied.
Rumely was served with the
modified subpoena shortly after
Minton convened the committee.
Accompanied by Hanson, Rumely
went out into the hall to examine
it. After about five minutes they
came back into the committee
room and Rumely and Hanson an
nounced fatty that they would re-
fuse to comply.
It called upon Rumely to pro-
duce such records of his COM
mittee pertaining directly or in
