Wilson had noticed, however, that
Walters put more STUFF on . throw
from third TO FIRST than some Of his
so-called pitchers. So he suggested
pitching. At first Bucky didn't think

That was in 1894. Walters pitched
every day in batting practice. He
did look pretty crude, but had fine

was over he had responded to treat
ment and had developed good fast

He had no won and lost record In
1894. In 1885 he won nine and lost
nine with the Phillies. The next
season he won IL, but lost II. In
1887 he scored IA decisions while
losing Is. The next year he bettered
the 500 mark, winning Is and los
ing IA.
Cincinnati purchased him in June
of 1898 for $55, 900 and two players,
Catcher Virgil Davis and Al Hol-
lingsworth. This past season, his
most successful by far, saw Bucky
winning q games, balanced against
II losses. He led the league in VIC

and in complete games with 81.
He struck out 1856 men, walking 100.

Roosevelt Is Opposed
To Processing Taxes
For Farm Benefits
Such Levies, He Says, Are
Consumer Hondieops
And Depressing

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt made 1t plain
yesterday that he was against reviv-
ing processing taxes to finance farm
benefits.
The President told reporters at his
press conference that processing
levies were consumers taxes and
undoubtedly would be depressing
He reminded newsmen that in his
budget message to Congress he had
opposed taxes which might depress
public consuming power.
Some observers expressed the
belief that Mr.. Roosevelt's stand
would head off any attempt by ad-
ministration supporters to write
processing taxes into farm legisla-
ton at the present session Of Con-
gress. Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace has advocated such taxes as a
means Of financing farm payments
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau employed similar reasoning
Monday in announcing that he was
against processing taxes.
Processing taxes were outlaWed by
the Supreme Court. One of the
criticisms was that they were added
to the selling price of food products
and thus actually paid by the public.

Economy Bloc Plans
Fight on 'Quoddy,'
Ship Canal
Congress Foes Line Up
Against Projects in
Maine, Florida

The economy bloc in Congress was
lining up today against President
Roosevelt's request yesterday that
the Florida ship canal and the Pas
samaquoddy 'Me) tidal-power pro-
ject be revived.
Leading advocates of govern
mental retrenchment indicated they
would fight the proposal to finish.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan said the request was
final proof that the President had
"ioined the bootstrap lifters who be-
lieve in spending themselves out of
debt"
Chairman Bailey of the Senate
Commerce Committee, to whom. to-
gether with Chairman Mansfield of
the House Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee, the President wrote, sug-
gested both projects be referred back
to the War Department for further
study.
Chief Reversed Board.
Senator Bailey recalled that the
ship canal had been reported un-
favorably by the War Department s
Rivers and Harbors Board in 1887
At that time, however, Maj. Gen
Edward M. Markham, then chief OF
engineers, reversed the board and
urged completion of the canal.
Representative Mansfield saio
hearings on two projects probably
would be demanded by his commit
tee, but he would try to put then
through.
Representative Brewster, Repub-
lican of Maine, said he would intro
duce bill to authorize revival OF
the Passamaquoddy.
Senator Pepper, Democra. OF
Florida. said of the ship canal that
"few other projects have tne value
to the whole nation which will flow
from the construction of this canal
from the Gulf to the Atlantic
Maine Enthusiastic.
Meanwhile an Associated Press
dispatch from Eastport, Me, re-
ported enthusiasm there at the pros
pect of completing the $37,OOO,OO
enterprise to produce power from
nearby Passamaquoddy Bay. Lead
ers of the community said the
project would revive business in
the region and means much to the
whole state.
A statement issued by H. H. Buck
man, chief engineer of the Florida
Ship Canal Authority, pointed tc
the importance of this waterway to
national defense.
THE canal" he said, will pro-
vide completely protected sea
route between the Atlantic Coast
on the one hand, and the Gulf OF
Mexico and Mississippi River system
or the other. In time of war, vital
trade transportation lanes would
escape the Florida Straits, where
they would be easy prey to an
enemy"
Both the canal end the "Quoddy'
project were stopped in 1896 for lack
of further appropriations. The esti-
mated cost of the canal is close to
5000, 100000.

| Physician Eases Pain
As Firemen Work
| To Free Him

A man pinned in one Of two heavy
trucks which crashed head-on on
Lee highway near Falls Church, Va,
early today was extricated after a
physician administered an opiate
and f1remen labored for 40 minutes
to spring apart the folded cab of the
truck.
DR.. Frank B. Schultz of Falls
Church, working in the snow, dark
ness and amid the fumes of escaping
gasoline. reached the imprisoned
man and eased his pain while mem
bers of the Fairfax County Volunteer
Fire Department released him. The
imprisoned man was one of three
seriously hurt in the crash.
The accident occurred before day

500 More Women

Howorth Says
Star Staff Photo.

Ross HaWorth, deputy admins
traitor of the District Works Prog
ress Administration, announced
yesterday that 500 women will be
dropped from local w. P. A. rolls in
the near future because they are
eligible to receive d-to-dependent-
childrln grants
This new slash will bring the
total dismissed since January / to
more than LOO. Under a recent
order from the national w. P. A.
headquarters, local officials have
dismissed $40 workers who are eligi-
BILE for old-age assistance or aid-to-
Observation-Disclosures benefits.
Mr.. Haworth said it is necessary
to reduce the local personnel be-
cause of the scarcity of funds to
meet pay rolls. Workers with the
best chance of finding help through
social security benefits or else
where are being dropped first, he
declared.
However, he said, If these en-
ployes fail to prove eligible for old
age assistance or aid-to-dependent-
children funds. they will be given
preference in seeking reinstatement
on w. P. A. rolls.
At the same time. the deputy ad-
ministrator declared that if the
Senate supports the action of the
House in slashing s15O,O00.OO from
the $875 100000 requested by Presi-
dent Roosevelt for works projects
an additional 1000 employees would
have to be dismissed from the

O'Daniel, inaugurated governor in
solemn. splendid ceremonies un-
matched in Texas history. faced the
legislature today, and no amount
of showmanship could dismiss the
question. Where will you get money
for old age pensions?'
To joint session of the Senate

vaulted in one astonishing leap
from the obscuritv of a flour sales
man to the prominence of a
governor.
To them-who will mold the

Only one day in Office, Gov
ODaniel met what might be termed
crisis. In the parlance of those
who elected him. he had made
his sale. Now he had to deliver
the goods.

The O'Daniel family-the Govern
or, his wife, and their three child
rem, Molly, Pat and Mike-showed
little excitement over the change
from private to public life.
Mike didn't show up promptly
for the inaugural dinner at the
Governors mansion, and his father
remarked "he probably doesn't
know we live here now. He's
probably downtown at some ham,

premium as do the individuals in

remaining excess benefit must be
paid by the general taxpayer. who
is called upon to make up the deficit
in revenue Neither of the burdened
groups is as able to bear the ad-
ditional load as are the individuals
in the higher income brackets who
receive the benefits
Discussing his contention that the
tax exemptions are discouraging en-
terprise capital, Mr.. Hanes remarked
on the growing nstitutionalization
of investment, conservative in ma
ture, as a condition which makes it
increasingly necessary and desirable
to attract individual investment into
more venturesome fields.
Savings which are committed to
the care of institutions such as
banks or insurance companies tend
to be removed from the enterprise
capital market" he said, land COM
mitted to senior capital investments.
Hence, it is more important than
formerly that an adequate propor-
ton Of investment by individuals be
directed to the enterprise capital
market If we are to give full en-
ployment to labor and increase the
level of national well-being.
This, Of course, is not to imply
that there is anything Objectionable
about purchasing Government
bonds or high grade corporate Sc
curities. What it does imply is
that this type of investment needs
no encouragement at present"
A table submitted by Mr.. Hanes
showed about SOS 900 ,0OO,0 900 in tax
exempt securities outstanding on
June 30, 1887, with $l9, 100000, 900

of individuals, l7,700 900 900 in the
hands of banks, SIS, 90 ,0O0,0 900 held
by Government agencies and the
rest miscellaneously held.
Although of substantial impor-
tance from the point Of view of tax
justice, Mr.. Hanes said the question
of taxing public salaries is "of less
economic and fiscal significance. -
Federal employees already are subject
to Federal income taxes, and State
and local workers often are taxed by
their State governments.
With only Is per cent of all State
and local employees earning more
than the $2,500 annual exemption

estimated.
Because of variation in State in

ployes is more difficult.
Summarizing his position, the
Undersecretary pointed out:
Fiscal relations of Federal, State

gone important changes. Federal
