HOROSCOPE

Benefic aspects dominate today.
1t Is a fortunate day for launch

cooperate. II is an suspicious date
for signing contracts.
HEART AND HOME: Women
will be more and more interested

that pertains to the home and es-
pecially to cooking. The prepsra-
ton Of food is to assume extraor-
binary Importance. Good news
may be expected regarding the
family. Young persons will find
employment, especially in the in
dustries. Writers will be plentiful
among college graduates this year.
American foreign correspondents
will add to their fame.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Astrolo-
gers foretell for next year great
financial change that will be felt
severely in the United States. The
whole system Of International
banking is to be readjusted and
there will be agitation regarding
the gold standard. The wise will

and will safeguard their property.
avoiding all debt burdens. Taxes
will rise II the stars are rightly
read.
NATIONAL ISSUES: The Phil
ippines will present new and seri-
Gus problems to the United States.
A sudden. surprising coup is to
arouse the concern OF the United
States government which is to dis
cover that in a world that Is slip
ping back into bsrbarism the
principles OF democracy are not
understood. Hawaii will command
unusual attention and its defenses
will be strengthened.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
After severe criticism and various
changes in the personnel of those
directing the British war tactics.
the autumn is to bring more favor
able conditions and new allies TO
the nation. World War history,

United States is concerned. is to
be repeated. Closer relations with
Canada will be precipitated by
events Of supreme Importance to
the nation.

itself is but little understood.
And real estate" taxes repre-
sent but a fraction of the taxes
paid, directly and indirectly, by
every citizen whether or not he
owns property or business of any
sort.
II is authoritatively estimated
that at the present time federal
taxes are about six billion dol
lars a year. and all other taxes
are approximately eight billion
dollars a year, total load Of the
various taxes of fourteen billion
dollars or S107 per capita. The
tax burden for a family of four

The yourg New Dealers would
like 70 maintain control over the
program - If congress ever
authorizes Through such es-
tablished agencies as the cCc,
the NYA and the pilot training
division of the CAA. Their hope
is TO keep it essentially non
militaristic But more expert
enced administration members
recognize that the army must be
given pretty free hand in direc-
ton If anything effective in the
way of defense is to be accom-
plished.
The chances are. according TO
those familiar with the rresi-
dents ideas on the subject,
that about $50, 900 to 100000 of
the million and a half young men
of service age will be induced
into the regular military forces.
The rest will be given apprentice
schooling for the non-combatant
jobs essential to the smooth
functioning of an army: training
as aviation pilots or mechanics
or as signal and communications
workers; service where needed in
industries producing war essen
tials. Sidney Hillman is expect
ed to direct the training pro-
gram for those outside the army
proper. But he'll do so in ac-
cordance with the requirements
which the generals set forth for
him.
One hope concerning the pro-
gram which the president and a
number of the New Dealers en-
terrain is likely to go glimmer-
ing. While service Of some sort
will be mandatory for all youth,
they'd like to make the selection
as to the type of service volun-
tary.
Army men openly scott at the
idea. They've had enough ex-
perience with recruiting on a
voluntary basis to know that as
long as peace prevails there isn't
much zest for getting into uni
forms. There'd be an overwhelm-
ing rush, they figure, for the
non-combatant jobs which would
afford training for some sort of
peacetime occupation.
Moreover, the question of
physical fitness plays an i'm
portant part in the determina-
ton of service. It's estimated by
experienced authorities that of

DEFENDS BRIDGES AS

Editor, The Times: G. Haro-
well, attacking Harry Bridges,
the lady from Vaughn and John
Coffee, June 81. writes like a
disgruntled scab or a master
of men who doesn't want to deal
fairly with labor.
He condemns Harry for lead
ing strikers into greener pas
lures and better treatment. He
said by this display of advance
ment, there came suffering to
women who had to live through
these strikes.
He doesn't reflect on how the
wives and children of the
strikers had to suffer continu-
ally when the master grinders
of labor treated labor as they
pleased before the strikes, led
by Harry, taught them de-
cency.
He enormously implied that
Harry Bridges refused to take
out citizenship papers and that
he brought nothing to our peo-
pie but misery and suffering.
This is a falsehood.

as well as low seem TO like

other vegetables. Like Dorsey
Bakers selected varieties of
wheat, the peas bloomed and
blossomed into product of ex-
tremely fine quality and large
quantity. Somebody discovered
that one variety was particularly
good for canning. One of the
large food processing companies
was induced to put up a small
pack. The next year there was
bigger demand for Walla
Walla canned peas.
That was seven years ago.
Yesterday In New York the
directors of the American Can
company authorized the con-
struction of q can manufac-
turing plant In Walla Walla to
supply the demand for con-
tanners for peas and other
small vegetables. The bust
ness that came In with the
depression had developed to
such a volume that IL was
more economical TO build
plant and manufacture the
cans on the ground than to
ship them.
From a limited district the
pea growing industry is spread
ing all over the Blue Noun
tain area. The first early crop
is planted in the valleys. A little
later there are other paintings
on higher attitudes. providing a
succession OF crops that pro-
duces fresh peas over a long
period. Even some of the wheat
land is being planted to peas.
The earlier wheat growers in
sisted that the land in the
Walls Walls area was good for
nothing but growing wheat.
The new development born of
the depression is proving that
they were wrong just as other
men who thought they were a
great deal smarter than wheat
farmers have been mistaken.
But the good earth. If given
half q chance, will continue to
produce and show men how puny
is their wisdom.

was starting the wheat business.
other pioneers were looking for
gold. II they could only find
the right spot they would be
rich in a hurry. Let the plod-
ders plant wheat If that was
what they wanted to do. AS far
as the record shows, the for
tunes that began in those days

the regular army. There's an
indication Of this prophecy in the
fact that so per cent OF the lads
who apply for citizens military
training camps are rejected on
physical grounds.
The general staff officers are
holding out, therefore, for selec-
tive service Consumption. They
want to take the cream Of the
crop. II the president wants to
give non-combatant training to
the balance of the nations youth
that's all right with them.
But as they see il, the army
must come first.
One of the strategems which
has earned Minority Leader Joe
Martin the reputation of being
one of the shrewest members Of
the house is his use of demo-
cratic members from poll tax
states to carry the ball on anti
administration measures. The
poll tax congressman don't have
to fear their constituents as do
the less privileged legislators.
Congressman Lee Geyer, who
is sponsoring an anti-poll tax
bill. has gathered data (previ-
ously reported here) to show the
undue influence in house COM
mittees of men elected and given
long tenure through poll taxes.
Now he's building a case to
show that anti-labor and anti
relief measures are pushed MAIN
ly by representatives in whose
districts the unemployed and
the low-income workers can't
afford to vote. Gene Cox of
Georgia, for example, together
with Graham Barden of North
Carolina led the fight to emascu-
late the wage-hour law. Howard
Smith of Virginia was largely
responsible for the attack on the
NLRB. Evidence of this kind is
calculated to bring organized
labor whooping for repeal of poll
tax requirements.
