So determined was the senate to make enactment of the bill its answe> to all doubts and fears of the nation’s stability, that Vice President Curtis even named the men who will confer with members of the house on adjust- ing the bill. Senators Smoot, Watson and Reed, Republicans, Harrison and King Democrats, were given this task. Earlier Curtis had adopted “rail- yoading” tactics to rush the finish, cutting into debate to put the vote on proposed amendments, slamming down the gavel and announcing them de- feated before the members could get their breath. It fitted in completely with the mood of the chamber. Crowded galleries hung on to the ;|tions at as low long @ day as any, stayed up until midnight but then, certain it was al! over, retired for the night. CONGRESS MAY WIND UP WORK BY JUNE 10 ‘Washington, June 1—()—The ra- senate and house, and the result must be agreed to by both chambers. The $238,000,000 national economy bill reported only Tuesday night for senate action, must be by that branch and agreed to by the house. i Six or seven of the regular appro- priation bills, supplying government \department funds for the fiscal year beginning a month from Wednesday, | must be passed by the senate, and agreed to by the house. Two such bills are in conference now. Behind all these is waiting the still more controversial and dynamic is- sue of unemployment relief—univer- sally desired but burdened by a deep cleavage between the administration and a larger part of the membership in both houses over an expanded pro- gram Of public works, backed by new ‘bond issues. In ordinary times such a program would consume months. But many motives now assure fast action, with an outside chance the 10 days may MANY EXCISE TAXES Washington, June 1.—(?)—Besides the high income tax rate imposed iu the revenue bill as passed by the sen- ate, following are some of the new levies which may be expected to fail NEW TROUBLE LOOMS IN SPANISH STRIKE Toll of Casualties Continues to Mount as Result of Indus- trial Strife Madrid, June 1.—(7)—A threat, of lock-outs entered Spain's nation-wide strike Wednesday as the toll of cas- ualties continued to mount. The Employers’ and Proprietors association at Seville, one of the strike centers, threatened to close factories and shops if the workmen continue’ to refuse their contracts. At the same time, the Andalusian Economic Fed- eration cancelled all its contracts with the workers because of the strike. Syndicalist leaders at Ceuta called off the general strike there but it spread to 20 surrouding towns. Four persons were seriously wound- ed at Malaga in a clash between po- lice and @ group of 600 armed Syndi- calists. Among those wounded was directly on the average individual: Higher postage, beginning at three cents per letter. Excise taxes: Five per cent on radios, phonographs, mechanical re- frigerators. 10 per cent on cosmetics, Jewelry, sporting goods, cameras, fire- arms, and furs. Three per cent on automobiles, two per cent on acces- sories. Four cents a gallon on lubri- cating oil, one cent on gasoline. Two ber cent on candy, chewing gum and soft drinks, Miscellaneous: 10 per cent on all admission tickets costing more than 40 cents. Ten to 20 cents on tele- [phone messages over 50 cents, five per cent in telegrams, 10 cents on cablegrams. Two cents on all bank checks. Ten per cent on ‘safety de- posit box charges. Other charges, such as the three per cent on gross receipts of electric utilities, and tariffs on imported oil, coal, copper and lumber, may be Passed on indirectly. ‘The income tax rates are four per cent on the first $4,000; eight per cert above that with a graduated surtax beginning at one per cent above $6,- 000. Exemptions are $2,500 for mar- ried persons, $1,000 for single, in con- trast to the present $3,500 and $1,500 The married person exemption is re- duced to $2,000 for those making more than $5,000. The net effect is that a married Person with no dependents will pay $20 on the first $3,000; $60 on $4,000 and $100 on $5,000. The exemption for dependents stands as at present at $400 each. CONTINUED Pilots Are Given Medical Attention On Arrival in City the only factor that counts in the race, He said his balloon was traveling on the circumference of an imaginary circle whose center was at Omaha. Hill’s was the last of the six bal- loons to take off, getting away at 8:45 p.m. After a flight of 13 hours and 25 minutes, the pair ended their ef- | forts by landing at the Apple Creek ranch, owned by the Patterson Land company, 12 miles northwest of Ster- ling B- Stormed Most of Time The pilots said they. were in the storm during the whole of their trip, Pointing out that they expected that because a south wind almost always blows the balloon into storm territory. They maintained an altitude of about 6,000 feet for the most part, being just under the clouds most of the time. They had 23 bags of ballast, weigh- ing about 30 pounds each, when they took off and still had 16 when they landed. The 35,000 cubic foot balloon was filled with hydrogen. Shortly after taking off they dropped their drag-line, a heavy large rope. When jthe drag-line touches ground, the weight is taken from the balloon and it ascends. Hill said they must have “walked” 75 miles during the night on the drag-line. The pair carried with them a stata- scope, which shows the rate of climb; a barograph, which records altitude in relation to time; an altimeter, to show their height; and a compass, for de- termining direction. Carried Bare Essentials They carried heavy clothing, blan- kets, food, emergency kit and other essentials with them. Packed up for shipment, the balloox weighs about 750 pounds, Hill said Hill at present holds nine world and dozen American balloon records, in- cluding best marks for altitude, dis- tance and endurance. He has been & ballon enthusiast since 1914. He is married and has a son and daughter, living at Detroit. He is general manager of the Metal-Clad Airship corporation of Detroit. Conklin, who is a U. 8. internal revenue agent at Omaha, is married and has a daughter. He has been an air enthusiast for many years, start- ing out as a parachute jumper when @ boy at Jefferson, Iowa. Forks Commissioners Are Studying Budget Grand Forks, N.

Expresses Appreciation “As the class of 1932 goes forth to meet the problems of life,” he said in closing, “the members express the sincere hope that by faithfully and earnestly playing their new and great- er parts they may display their heart- felt appreciation of everything that has been done for them, and may con- tinue to merit the esteem of everyone who is interested in them.” me Lloyd Murphy declared his class 1s conscious of the obstacles and recon- struction work facing the graduates in this year of economic stress. “We have read enough and heard enough in recent months and years to know that present economic facts do not justify painting such a rosy picture,” he sajd. “We appreciate that we must face a world of sterner realities than our predecessors of even a few years ago. This fact, however, should not make us pessimistic. In fact, it should arouse in us an ambition to face pres- ent day problems with greater deter- mination.” Says Class Fortunate The salutatorian said it is fortunate that the class is leaving high school “not with the idea of falling into something easy but rather with a hope that each may get an opportu- nity to fit somewhere into the pic- ture.” “We believe that the training we have received in Bismarck high school has so developed our self-reliance that we will be able to contribute something worth while to the recon- struction problems facing our state and nation today,” he said. “We wish to emphasize that we are perfectly willing to serve anywhere in the ranks of the common people. We are not demanding positions of leadership. It seems to me that the country today needs more intelligent followers and team-workers rather than self-ap- pointed leaders.” Youth Is Sentenced For Drunken Driving Minot, N. D., June 1.—(?)—One youth is in a Minot hospital with se- rious injuries and another was fined, sentenced to jail and barred from driving an automobile for one year on a charge of drunken driving, as a result of an automobile collision in Minot Sunday. Stanley Stearns, 19, living near Mi- not, sustained seven fractured ribs, both collarbones were broken, one shoulder was fractured and he also suffered multiple cuts and bruises. Arthur Rapp, 21, of Minot, driver of the machine which collided with the automobile in which Stearns was riding, was sentenced by Police Mag- istrate Carl Cox to serve 10 days in jail, pay a fine of $30 and to serve an additional 10 days if the fine is not paid.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 1932 Presidential Campaign Promises to be Greatest Show on Earth—It Has Everything But Reason By RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer Washington.—This campaign year of 1932 presents the greatest show on earth. It has everything. Everything, that is, except rhyme, reason and common sense. The biggest nation in the world, in the trough of the worst depression in history, again piles into the two-ring circus of American politics, with the assurance that the clowns will be somewhat funnier, the tightrope walk- ers more numerous and agile, the barkers more hysterical and the ani- mals nearly all a little more moth- eaten and bedraggled. The Tweedledum party and the Tweedledee party are about to nomi- nate candidates for the presidency for whom there is hardly any enthusi- asm even within party ranks. At this date no one has been able to discover any essential difference between these parties except that one party has all the government jobs and the other party is out to get them or die in the attempt. Neither party will nominate its best man for the presidency. That wouldn't be good politics. Both, however, will write platforms designed to please everybody, which will be promptly for- gotten. * * * BOTH FOR PROSPERITY Fortunately, both parties are posi- tively guaranteed to bring back pros- perity. The politicians have been bringing it back for nearly three years, and although it's a hard task and the results are not yet apparent, they have had more experience on the job than anyone else. There is a quaint theory that the people of the country have something to do with nominating the two presi- dential candidates, and it is true in about the same sense that the people of New York city have something to do with each of Babe Ruth’s home ‘runs, They support the players, vo- cally and financially. * * *& THE ‘ISSUES’ In November, after a campaign which will cost plenty of money—but not as much as usual—the voters will ballot only indirectly for a president; they must indorse sets of electors, most of whom they have never heard of before. Meanwhile, thousands of politicians Doltical Folios G22 | will be running for various offices | solely on such issues as the Massie} case and the Lindbergh baby case, on | which they will be found to hold firm, | uncompromising opinions. IT'LL BE A GOOD SHOW But don't think it isn't going to be | a swell show. It is. Everybody in) Politics is going to be fighting like | the devil and a lot of tail feathers | are going to be pulled out before it is | over. | Large sections of the audience are more than a trifle sore, with rotten tomatoes and bad eggs stored up for good use. That's why thé perform- ers are going through their antics with much more than customary fer- vor. Never were so many jobs in dan- ger—and you know how jobs are these days. The white house, the senate and the house are all at stake. Prohibi- tion—which provides an issue strik- ing more popular chords than any within memory—may receive its real coup de'grace. And whether or not there is any hope of economic im- provement through political action, everyone is going to be whooping about it as the Tweedledee and Twee- diedum parties make mighty efforts to prove each other entirely to blame. * Oe FAR ENOUGH, NOT TOO FAR As for the Chicago conventions, which are almost upon us, one will have to depend for excitement among the Republicans largely on the fight! over the wet platform plank which the party is expected to adopt. Like so many skilled artists daub- ing on just the right amount of paint, the Republican politicians will try to go far enough without going too far. Then it ought to be a lot of fun watching the previously dry Mr. Hoo- ver balancing himself on the plank. ~ * # DEMS MORE SPECTACULAR The Democrats nearly always put on @ more spectacular program. They have not yet decided whether to nom- inate Governor Roosevelt on the con- vention floor or someone else in @ smoke-filled room. ‘The tussling with that problem may provide as exciting a political spec- tacle as has been seen since 1924. Melodrama may reach its heights. | Think of colorful, hard-hitting Al) Smith being allied with his old bitter | enemies Hearst and McAdoo against | his former pal Roosevelt! | And of the probable desperate.) canny maneuvering of the powerful eastern bosses as they clash with the more naive, but scrappy and more nu- merous Roosevelt supporters from the south and west. And dark horses prancing behind the scenes. Ring up the curtain!. The 1932 ex- travaganza ought to be a wow. Hill at Valley City Is Cause of Death Valley City, N. D., June 1—(P)—A man believed to be E. J. Nelson, about 155, was fatally injured Tuesday when his small truck ran “wild” down East hill leading into the city and crashed into a railway signal post. He was unable to turn the corner because of defective brakes, it-was believed. He |died of a fractured skull soon after reaching the hospital. Masonic Lodge Has 50th Anniversary, Grand Forks, N.
