record opposing the act and the
association was expected to take
action at its meeting next Monday
knights briefly outlined objections
to the act, attacked provisions set
ting up "a new and independent
agency of government that amounts
to a dictatorship over state fin
ances" and assailed a state banking
setup free from regulation by state
banking laws.
Among the most dangerous fea-
lures of the act is that requiring
all political sub divisions to accept
warrants at face value. The war
rants, however, will not be useful
for paying city or county interest
on bonded indebtedness nor will the
cities and counties be able to buy
supplies outside the state with any
thing but cash.
"Quite soon the governments
would be stripped of cash." knights
said.
Furthermore, there is a provi-
sion that all new contracts of
political subdivisions will carry a
clause providing payment for half
in warrants"
knights also found fault with pro-
visions in the act which. he said,
tended to prevent interference from
state courts by means of injunc-
ton.

Supervisors Move
ToCut Aid Cost

AS part of plan TO cut down
the cost of relief, supervisors Mon
day approved addition of another
case Investigator to the county well
fare department.
Phil Hoffman, welfare director
said the cost of relief could be cut
down materially if another inves-
tigator could be placed in the field
to check on recipients of orphan
aid and other types of relief.
"In years past" Holman told the
board. "the cost increased about
100000 a year while last year the
increase was only $4,000. This cut
in the increase resulted from more
thorough and more frequent in
vestingation.
The board transferred 81 $3.50 to
the welfare salary fund to be used
as Holman thought advisable.

French troops have repulsed
a night attack, preceded by

mounted on big railroad flat cars,
which had been brought up to posi-

NEW YORK, Sept. 10. CUP)-
The Italian line refused today to
permit holders of German, Czech
or Slovak passports to sail on the
liner Rex. Passengers with these
credentials were put ashore as the

Officials declined to comment on

Since the British blockade of the

Il want to restore mutual con-

But while it seemed to offer
peace, Hitler's speech also carried
the threat of war of redoubled vigor
and horror. He threatened, in ef-
feet, to loose the German air force
against France and Great Britain
and he complained of Polish atroc-
tiles.
II have ordered the German air
force to be humane" Hitler said.
IF the democratic countries want
it differently, they may have it..
In this respect, too, my patience
is not unlimited"
Hitler denounced what he called
false propaganda abroad concern
ing the ''inferiority" of German
arms. The western democracies told
Poland of this purported inferior
ity. he said, and thus misled her

the 20Oth ton of grasshopper poison
to valley farmers who are waging
a war against the heaviest summer
infestation of hoppers in history.
Less than 100 tons of poison was

Harrigan warned all valley far

bait is furnished to farmers free of

ut is this crop of hoppers which
will leave eggs to bring on spring
infestations, Harrigan said. Failure
to spread poison now will cause an
