WISCONSIN REVIVES FARM RELIEF PLAN| State Senate Considers Raising $5,000,000 by Income Taxes to Repay Cost of Crops. By the Associated Press. MADISON, Wis., January 23—A farm relief bill, with provisions to raise $5,000,000 in surtaxes on incomes and dividends to guarantee Wisconsin farm- ers something toward the cost of pro- duction, was revived and engrossed in the Senate today by a vote of 15 to 12. The bill was a substitute amend- ment by Senator John Cashman, Den- | mark, to the Nixon general eight-hour- day bill. The Senate previously had defeated - & farm subsidy plan which was passed by the Assembly without {any financing provisions, The substitute guarantees to remu- | nerate the farmers to the extent of 10 cents an hour if the proceeds of their products fail to bring in the cost of pro- duction which would be determined by the department of agriculture and mar- kets. The bill would be effective until December 31, 1933 The department is given until April 1 to determine the average cost of pro- duction per unit of each of the princi- pal farm products of the State. Then pay at the rate of 10 cents an hour and a return on capital of 2 per cent on the assessed valuation on the farm property are to be used in determining the average cost of production The surtax for financing would be levied against individual incomes onl. including dividends, and with no a! Jowance for capital gains or losses. Further action on the bill was put over until next week. UNFAIRNESS CHARGED TO MUZZEY HISTORY Bias Against South Complaint of Sons of Confederate Veterans' Historian. By the Assoclated Press. RICHMOND, Va. January 23— Charges that Muzzey's “History of the American People.” & text book being taught in Virginia public schools, is unfair to the South, were brought today by Sterling Boisseau, historian, and R. E. Lee Camp, No. 1, Sons of Con- federate Veterans The author was charged with being biased in his presentation of leading incidents concerning the attitude of the South in the war between the States Mr. Boisseau particularly complained that the only reference to an invasion was made concerning Lee's Gettysburg campaign. He sald that campaigns into the South by Federal armies were other- wise designated. The text book was adopted March 26, 1931, on the recommendation of the Text Book Committee of the State Board of Education. Mr. Boisseau urged that if the con- tract for the book cannot be cancelled, some means should be found to “counteract its effect.” BICENTENNIAL PLANS ANNOUNCED BY MOOSE By the Associated Press PHILADELPHIA, January, 23 Supreme Council of the Loyal Order of Moose, in its annual Midw T CON- ference here, today announced the order will celebrate the Washington Bicentennial in Cleveland, Ohio, in connection with the national conven- tion here The celebration will take the form of a music festival in which choirs from the United States and several foreign countries will compete for prizes dur- ing the week of August 321.

Dedicated to Virgin. The present cathedral is dedicated to “the mother of God of Kazan." It Was intended, in part at least, as an_offer- ing of love and gratitude to the Virgin Necessarily, such an offering was in- tended to be as noble and beautiful as possible. The outside walls were decorated with religious texts inscribed in large letters of gilded bronze, some of the symbols welghing as much as 540 pounds each. Over the doors were verses from the Psalms The whole circuit of the exterior was decorated with beautiful —bas-rellefs, representing scenes from the life of the Savior. Over the apse, containing the chief altar, Christ’s entry into Jeru- salem was carved by sculpiors. Figures of John the Baptist, St. Andrew, St. Vladimir and St. Alexander Nevski were | set_in niches. The cathedral gates are an exact copy of the noble gates of the Cathedral of | Florence. | All these splendid products of artistic genius were, in the estimation of the people, tributes to the mother of God Had Patriotic Aspect. | The nterior of the church in pre- revolutionary times had a distinctly | patriotic aspect. The cathedral’s history was closely linked with the Napoleonic | invasion. In the year 1812, the Don | Cossack troops in the imperial service took from the retreating French Army a great treasure of silver which the in- vaders had taken from the churches of Germany, The Cossacks debated the destiny of this consecrated wealth. At last it was decided that the whole treasure should be sent to the Motro- | po'itan at St. Petorsburg. The soldiers | felt they “were thereby returning to | [God ~what had “been stolen from | sanctuaries devoted to Him.” This silver eventually was used in the con- struction of the magnificent ikonistas, the screen which divides the sanctuary from the body of the church. The total treasure weighed about 27 tons. The ikonistas furnished a frame for the miraculous portrait of the Virgin and Child. With the passing of years, pious pilgrims brought to the shrine jewels and gems of great value in token of their gratitude. Held Many Treasures. Under the imperial regime the cathedral was a natural receptacle for | treasures and_ trophies of patriotic nificance. Flags and standards of v description stood ‘round the walls The keys of eight great fortresses and of 17 towns were displayed as relics of | conquest. The tomb of that famous old Prince Koutousov-Smolenski, hero of the Napoleonic struggle, was an especial object of reverence to the descendants f his Cossack followers Probably many of the cathedral's ancient glories will be permitted to sur- vive under the Soviet scheme of rationalistic_reform. but these will be “interpreted” according to the Marxian doctrine that religion is “opium for the people.” JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.
