BOSTON-The tall, angular fig
ure of Gov. Leverett Saltonstall
of Massachusetts casts long
shadow across the New England
political landscape. ut also serves
to mark the spot where a reform
governors dependence on forces
outside of his control was demon
strated in cold figures.
Governor Saltonstall came into
office after two extremely bad
state nistrations-those of ex-
Governor James M. Curley and
Charles F.. Hurley. A serious-mind-
ed, conservative chap who looks the
part of a typical Yankee, Governor
Saltonstall set himself to put the
states house in order.
Today, however the governor has
this melancholy fact to mediate
on: Although he cut the states
biennial budget more heavily than
any Massachusetts budget was ever
cut before, the budget, as finally
enacted, is the largest in the states
history-$153,34O,126 for two years
"Our job" remarks Governor
Saltanstall. "has been to cut people
off of their jobs. We had to droT
900 people from public works, fol
instance. We have eliminated al
new road building for the two years
except for roads constructed with
federal help.
We've undertaken no new con.
struction of state buildings, ane
we've cut the maintenance and op.
Grating costs Of existing buildings.
Then why is the budget the
highest in the states history? Be
cause of relief costs; because debts
incurred earlier in the depression
have to be retired; because tn,
Massachusetts relief situation l
complicated by the utter insolvenc!
of some of the states cities ant
towns.

We must spare no pains in build

The reciprocal trade treaty with
Argentina, for example, should be
pushed through to signature in such
a way that both countries will be

closer our bonds with Canada. a

These are tasks that call for all

To these tasks the United States

way of life, doctors should subscribe
to it in fairly large numbers. They
certainly, if anybody, should have
the necessary knowledge and the
experience to decide whether it is
good for the health. And they have
a normal desire to live as long as
possible. So I instituted a poll to
find out what was the average num-
Der Of vegetarians among doctors.
I did it in my own way, not employ
ing an expert like Mr.. Gallup. But I
made what I think is an average
cross-section of the doctors of Cana
da and the United States. 1t in
cluded professors Of physiology, of
pathology, surgeons, general practi-
TONERS, children's specialists, those
in small towns and those living in
various important metropoli.
The results of my poll are very
easy to remember, much easier than
any Of the Gallup poll results, be-
cause Mr.. Gallup probably never

when he would hit the bottom and
wouldn't come up. And it's worth
noting, think, that he wasn't at
all afraid, but fascinatingly inter-
ested IN the experience.
Testing Hemoglobin
The doctor was doing what no
other doctor had done for him,
which was testing his blood her1o-
globin. It was a third what it
should be. which showed that he was
suffering from internal hemorrhage
and had been for weeks. 1t came,
as was afterwards discovered, from
a silent stomach ulcer, and be-
cause Mr.. Cobb did not complain of
the usual discoiAforts of an ulcer,
the other doctors he saw put it down
to the neurotic idiosyncrasies of a
literary man, patted Mr.. Cobb on
the back and asked for a compli-
mentary seat to his lecture.
1 Fhe lesson is q very serious one
because what Mr.. Cobb described is
the syndfome Of internal concealed
henaofrhage. A. medical graduate
came up to nae once several years
after he had heard me tell this
story in class, and said, "You know,
the first patient ever saw after I
graduated had chat trouble of Mr..
Cobb's, and not another doctor in
the hospital recognized it."

of the story yesterday while was
writing the account of hemorrhage
from a stomach ulcer. I said that
anybody could tell when that was
happening, but there are exceptions
and Mr.. Cobb's story illustrates at
least one of them.
On Lecture Tour
He relates that on one occasion
he was on a lecture tour. He made
one night stands and he made only
cities of some size. That last item
is important because in every city
he visited he called up doctor for
advice, and the point is, he did not
get only country doctors, who are
so often-all too often-sneered at,
but he got the best doctors in the
biggest cities in the country.
What was the matter with Mr..
Cobb was that every evening as he
was getting ready for his lecture,
dressing in his hotel room, he would
feel faint. He would also be a little
and he would have to lie

hit on such simple question. Ex-

questioned said they ate meat.
One of them, aged Is, said that
as time went on he found he pre-.
ferred meat and ate more and more
of it and excluded more and more
vegetables from his diet.
I realize that this is dreadfully
unorthodox state of affairs, but one

bed. But the feeling did not pass
off; instead he passed off. The next
thing he knew he was in bed with
his manager and a doctor and a
nurse in the room.
What 1t Was Like
And then he said he began to feel
what it was like to die. He felt, he
said, like a sphere that sank down
under the surface of the ocean and
through more and more dark and
cool depths, until finally it hit the
bottom. Then gradually it began to
rise, and it rose up through the
same layers, getting warmer and
warmer and lighter and lighter all
the time until it reached the sur
face, and then he heaved a deep
sigh.
He kept waiting for the time,
which he knew was going TO happen.

FEDERAL WAGES
 ]. WILL BE TAXED
28 States Prepare to Col- lect Taxes From Fed- ] eral Employees

Twenty-eight of the 32 states with laws taxing personal incomes will collect taxes on salaries of several hundred thousand federal employees under the new Public Salary Tax Act effective this year, information from the Federation of Tax Admin istrators showed today.
 Seventeen states, the Federation noted, amended their statutes this year either before or after Con- grsS acted to remove reciprocal im- raunity,. of public salaries from in- come taxation. They were: Ala banna, Arkansas, California, Colo rado, Delaware, Iowa, Kansas, Min neSota, Montana, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Vermont, West vir- ginia and Wisconsin.
 Nine states could claim previous laws automatically providing for taxation of federal employe incomes whenever the federal exemption was removed. These included: Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Maryland, Massa- chusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Ore- gon and South Dakota. Wisconsin, which also had had such a law, amended 1t to define the removal of immunity.
 Laws of two other states-Arizona and Kentucky-made no mention of the immunity of federal salaries from income taxation. Up to now, neither state, of course, attempted to tax federal employees because of federal constitutional limitations. Louisiana, West Virginia, North Dakota and Utah are the only states with income levies which specifically exempt salaries of federal employees living within their boundaries. The first. two states held no legislative session this year and the last two adjourned before the proposal was passed by Congress.
 Although Congress did not act on the Presidents recommendation to remove tax immunity of interest on government obligations, six states revised their laws during 1889 ses- sionssS to make. such taxation pos- sible Oh their part immediately if immunity is removed. Twelve other states, the Federation said, will be able to tax income from such in- terest without further legislative &C., tioh. In 18 states the statutes still provide specific tax exemption from interest on federal obligations.

FARM SALES FOR
 CASH POSSIBLE
Litchfield County Gets Limited Funds for Farm
 Tenant Loans

Thomaston, Aug. 29.-A few own- CTS in Litchfield county will have an opportunity to sell their farms for cash, it is announced by Earle w. Prout, Jr., county supervisor of the Farm Security Administration in Thomaston.
 This has been made possible, MT. Prout said, thrugoh the allocation of a limited amount of funds to Litch- field county by the FSA for loans to worthy farm tenants, Sharecrop- pers and farm laborers for the cash purchase of farms of their own This is in accordance with the pro- visions of the Bankhead-J Jones Farm Tenant Act, now entering its third year of operation.
 Naturally these purchasers will have to repay their loans from the farm earnings" MT. Prout stated. 'This means that they will desire family size farms in good state of fertility. Buildings should be ade- quate for farm operations, and very | little expense should be needed for repairs. No farms will be purchased in excess of a reasonable appraisal value placed by Farm Security ap- praisers.
 "In order that the farmer may have access to his community and his markets throughout the year." he explained further, "the farm should be located on or adjacent to an improved road. School and church should be within reach of the farrn."
 MT. Prout stated that since ap- plications for these tenant purchase loans are to be received in his of- |fice, owners may also list their farms with him for consideration of the borrowers, at the following address:
 Earle w. Prout. Jr.,
 Rural Rehabilitation Supervisor
 Farm Security Administration.
 Town Hall,
 Thomaston, Connecticut.
 Anyone having farms for sale should list them at the earliest pos sible moment if they are to be considered for purchase with the present allotment, MT. Prout cau- 
 toned.
 "It should be clearly understood" MT. Prout said, "that listing of these farms in my office will in no way bind the Farm Security Ad- ministration, or the seller. If sold as result of this listing, no com- mission will be charged"
 The final selection of farms will be made by the borrower and by the Litchfield County Tenant Pur- chase Committe.
 Special blanks for listing of farms for sale may be obtained at the office of Earle w. Prout, Jr., Rural Rehabilitation Supervisor, Farm &c., curity Administration, Town Hall, Thomaston, Conn.
