ROOSEVELT LENT -ONBINUS ATTTUDE ‘win Take No Part in Argument Until Bill Reaches Him for Consideration Washington, March 12.—(#)—Word that President Roosevelt intends to take no part in the $2,000,000,000 ‘bonus dispute until a bill is enacted and lald on his desk was carried Tuesday to Capitol Hill. The news-bearer was Rep. Sabath of Tilinois, chairman of the house Democratic steering committee, who had gone to the White House to talk to the president. “My understanding,” Sabath re- ported, “is that the president will say or do nothing about the bonus pay- ment until congress acts. That is in line with his general attitude of hav- ing nothing to do with things upon which congress is legislating. “When, and ‘f, congress passes a bill for cash payment of the bonus, then I understand the president will ex- press his views.” ‘Asked what those views might be, Sabath said he could “not speak for the president, but my guess ts that he might suggest either that we limit payment to the needy or that some method other than outright, immedi- ate cash payment be enacted.” Twice the treasury has directly de- elined opportunities to present the administration attitude toward bonus payment. : Unless there 1s a change, therefore, the house next week will vote upon— and pass, leaders say—a bill for im- mediate redemption of the adjusted compensation certificates without any recent expression from the president or high adrnistration officials.

By DR. E. P. QUAIN February 10th (Sunday): More rain and cool winds. Never theless sightseeing had to be done. ‘Started at 9:30 a. m., for Petropolis, arriving there near noon. Petropolis, a city of 60,000 inhabitants, is fa- mous for its palace, the summer home of Dom Pedro II. It is about 60 miles from Rio. The highway is the pride of all Brazil because it is the longest paved road in the coun- try. It wound around the canyons and mountains, zig-zagging in many places, until Petropolis was reached, some 3,000 feet above sea level. Good views of the sea and of the city of foes were defeated by the clouds and logs. There was a great “fiesta” in the city, the occasion being “Hydrangea Day.” A grand parade had been planned but the rain evidently dis- couraged the expected crowds. How- ever, many pretty floats decorated with the light blue flower appeared. Chauffeur Great Hunter After a visit to the Emperor's pal- ace, now used as a@ college, we slid down the paved road in slimy mud— down to sea level and Rio. On the trip it was discovered that our chauf- feur is a hunter. Whenever he is out of work—and a hunter can get him- {self into that predicament so easily— he goes hunting. He pointed out places along the road where he had shot cotia, wild boar, and tigers. Tentative plans to return here next hunting season to go with him were promptly discontinued when it was learned that this jungle conceals boa constrictors, several kinds of very jPoisonous snakes and every water puddle harbors one or more croco- diles. February 11th (Monday): Herewith profound and sincere apologies for the calumnies cast in previous paragraphs and postal cards about the vertical rays of the sun and their effect on a fellow from the sub-arctic zone. After the rains yes- terday, today has been as cool and refreshing as a September day in North Dakota. The overcast sky and occasional showers have helped to make it so.

Drive Overlooks City ‘The ride this afternoon took us out of the city and up to several heights in the vicinity from which could be seen streets, buildings, beaches, har- bor, and islands in the chasms below. The road: led over numerous hairpin turns, sometimes with sheer drop-offs on one side and overhanging cliffs on the other, and sometimes through jungles with trees intertwined over- head. We stopped at the caves where Agassiz, in 1858, spent ® year studying the vegetation and writing his book “Lex Flora.” The road gradually meandered down to the seashore where tremend- ous waves broke over the rocks after yesterday's storm, demonstrating for the hundred billionth time that the power of Neptune is greater than that of Acolius, Borealis, and Jupiter himself. We point with pride to our filial relationship, recently acquired. The people in Rio, in general, are very dark complexioned. When Euro- peans first came to live in Brazil, the Indians were either killed or en- slaved. Importation of more labor became necessary and Africa sup- Plied it. The landowners became rich and powerful but the Emperor Dom Pedro II, who was a very wise and humane monarch, saw fit to abolish all slavery with a proclama- tion in 1889. This act cost him his throne. A republic, the United States of Brazil, was established. (A Brazil- jan demands it specified which United States of America you are talking about!) Since all in Brazil became “citizens,” no color lines were considered. Hence the dark color, crinkly hair and flat nose Points east, while straight hair and other distinct Indian features show the native strains which have dark- ened the Portuguese invasion during the past three or four centuries. In the life of Rio color does not seem |¢, to count much one way or the other. It is noticeable, however, that the People in the stores and business offices have a much lighter hue than the crews of laborers on the streets. On a football field, where two or through the usual excitement at soc- cer, all shades of skin, from soot to linen, were represented about equally. Every male Brazilian, at the age of 21, must serve a year in the army or navy. He cannot vote unless his military record is clean. A woman also may vote at the age of 21 if she can read and write; and in the cities and larger communities they all may. This military training shows itself clearly in the straight posture and polite manners encountered every- where—even among the “darky” toil- year-round residence. In time the “Let's Go Down and Look at the New Electric Refrigerators” A good idea — and let us suggest that you keep in mind that there are 3 New Savings you can make with an Electric Refrigerator. FIRST—Saves food from spoiling. A temperature always below 50 degrees keeps all foods perfectly. SECOND—You can save left-overs for future use. No need to throw them away because an electric refrig- erator keeps them wholesome until used. THIRD—You save quantities at money-saving money by buying foods in prices — knowing that none of it will spoil in your Electric Refrigerator. VISIT THE DISPLAYS AT THESE DEALERS Bowman Furniture Co.

Expect Governor To Slash Deeply Into N. D. Budget Although the purpose of the confer- ence was not dicussed by the governor, it was expected the institution heads would be informed that a cut would be necessary to balance the budget and that in making slashes the gov- ernor desired the institution heads to decide where such cuts could most judiciously be made. Late Monday Governor Welford signed house bill seven, providnig for state grading and weighing of livestock at certain packing plants. It was the cause of bitter debate dur- ing the session. Effective July 1, the board of rail- road commissioners is directed by the measure to appoint weighers and graders at all packing plants, slaught- ering houses or concentration points where the average daily number of livestock handled is more than 250 head. Hits Plant at Fargo Principally affected by the new law is the Armour & Co, plant at West Fargo. A similar proposal was passed by the legislature two years ago but was vetoed by former Gov. William Lan- ger. Earlier in the day, the chief execu- tive approved the two-per-cent re- tail sales tax bill, senate bill 313, under which approximately $4,000,000 in revenue is anticipated during the next biennium. An emergency clause puts the plan into effect May 1. Provision is made for transfer of $700,000 from the sales tax fund to) the state equalization fund in 1935 and $1,950,000 in 1936, for school aid and $600,000 annually for relief pur- poses. After these transfers, any funds remaining will be used for re- placement and reduction of taxes levied for general state purposes. Provision for scaling down and can- cellation of unpaid personal property taxes for 1934 and prior years upon payment of a percentage of the orig- inal tax was completed with signing by Welford of house bill 48. Welford also signed house bill 64, fixing bag and limits on protected game birds, a five-bird limit on upland game birds, 10 on ducks, and four on geese and brant combined.
