PAY ROLL UTILITIES PROTEST SEEN IN FARM PLAN Domestic Allotment Proposal Hits Wage Earners as Well, Says Miller. By the Associated Press. FRENCH LICK, Ind., September 20.— Measures which he said would help maintain a balance between agricul- | ture and industry were named here today by Sydney Anderson, Minneap- olis miller, in opposing the voluntary domestic allotment plan, newest form of farm relief. Mr. Anderson was a| speaker at the convention of the Grain and Feed Dealers’ Natlonal Association here. “If agriculture is producing more | than can be sold and consumed at a fair return to agriculture, substantially equal to retu obtained for similar employment cepital and labor in industry, cne or more of the following measures seems indicated,” Mr. Ander- son sald. “First, reducing production to an amount which can be purchased and consumed at a profitable price. Second, expanding foreign markets. “Third, increasing industrial purchasing power through increased wages and in- comes. Fourth, continuance of the trend from the farm into industrial employment, thus decreasing the num- ber of producers and increasing the number of consumers of agricultural | Pproducts.” Methods Have Been Tried. These measures have been employed in’the past and have served in general to maintain a balance between agri- cultare and industry, Mr. Anderson de- clared. “They involve general adjust- ments in both organization and in- dustry,” he explained. “They are some- times slow, but they work. They leave the door open to individual opportunity and enterprise. They permit and en- courage economic adjustments in con- sequence of free play and economic laws and forces. They involve no Gov- ernment interference, direction or con- trol of private enterprise. “Interference with these natural mces through Government control of ces by attempts to equalize condi- $lons by ‘robbing Peter to pay Paul’ only serves to hold out false hope and to retard the normal forces which regu- larly move toward recovery and recup- | eration.” An enormous bureaucracy and an in- creased army of Federal pay-rollers was predicted by Mr. Anderscn if the domestic allotment plan becores law. He named many objections to the plan, some of them being: “It levies a tax on all' the consumers for the sole bene- fit of the producers of wheat, cotton | and live stock. It is an attempt to | find a legal method of ‘robbing Peter to pay Paul' and to set up the ma- chinery for doing it in such a way that Peter will not know he is being held | up The acceptance of the proceeds of the tax on the part of the farmer is voluntary. The payment of the tax by the consumer is involuntary. Cuts Wage Earner Down. “The bill establishes equality for agriculture by tearing down the pur- | chasing power of the wage earner to | iucrease the purchasing power of the producer of wheat, cotton and live stock. It is justified by its proponents 2s a measure to make the tariff effec- tive on agricultural products and yet it opplies to cotton on which there is | nov and never has been & tariff, | “In principle and objective the do- | mestic allotment plan is exactly the s:me 2s the McNary-Haugen bill and subject to all the objections. It dif- fers only in the method of making the ello nts to the producers and in ad- ministrative Getail. The McNary-Haugen bill was an indirect subsidy. The domes- tic allotment plan is a direct subsidy. It creates no new wealth and no new purchasing power. It opens no new merkets. It promotes no new consump- tion or use. “It simply accomplishes a transfer.of purchasing power from consumers to the agricultural producers of commodities covered by the bill. This transfer of purchasing power is particularly unjus- tifiable now when the indexes of indus- trial wages are at the lowest point in many years and have suffered a decline approximately equal to the decline in gross farm income.” Sees no Prosperity Aid. Industrial, consuming and purchas- ing power is even more necessary to agricultural prosperity than isss agri- cultural consuming and purchasing Fower to industrial prosperity, Mr. An- | derson argued. | “The domestic allotment plan,” he | said, “will contribute nothing to the Teturn of general prosperity.” i Charles Quinn, secretary of the | National Association, in his annual re- port yesterday at the opening of the convention, questioned the legality and efficacy of the domestic aliotment plan, which he said loomed as the next con- gressional move to aid agriculture. Cotton Complaint Made. J. W. Garrow of Houston, who is chairman of the Economics Committee of the American Cotton Shippers’ Asso- ciation, declared the cotton trade is ‘willing to stand or fall on the capacity to serve and to meet changing condi- tions, but is unwilling to have the Gov- ernment used against it in an effort to force these changes. Mr. Garrow charged that there is a | hook-up between the Department of Agriculture, the Farm Board and the | co-operatives to force all cotton pl'O<| duced under seed loans into the co-op- erative organizations. Individuals wWho build new houses in Irish Free State cities will receive a government grant of $300 for each | house. | \ SPECIAL_NOTICES. { WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FROM THIS date.

An snonymous telephone messege re- vealed the suicide. A woman called the Central police station in Los Angeles and said: “I was hiking on Hollywood Moun- tain and near the Hollywood land s'gn I found a woman's shoe, jacket and purse. In the purse I found a suicide note. I looked down the mountain and saw a body. I don't want any pub- licity in this, so I wrapped up tte purse, shoe and jacket and laid the bundle on the steps of the Hollywood police station.” The woman refused to identify her- self and hung up. Police went to the scene and found the body, which lay the county at o morgue unidentified unti] yesterday wken Entwistle said it was that of his niece. Came Here Year Ago. The girl came here more than a year ago, but movie success seemed just out of her gresp. First she was engaged for a leading role in support of Buillie Burke in “The Mad Hopes,” and Miss Entwistle depended upon this part to draw the favorable attention of Holly- wood movie producers, but nothing came of her efforts. She played the role in a brief run here and the play She got screen bits here and there and finally was given a part in “Thir- teen Women,” an R-K-O picture. Friends said this part would have “made” her in Hollywood, but the pic- ture was not releaced, being held up by the studio for later showing and change. She was divorced in May, 1929, frcm Robert Lee Keith. She charged Keith with cruelty, alleging he tore hair from her head and did not tell her before their marriage that he had been mar- ried previously and was the father of a 6-year-old son.

More attention to recreational needs of the small boat or yacht owner, un- affiliated with any club, is recommended by Roland M. Brennan, chairman of the District’s Whar! Committee, in the annual report of the committee. “It is the opinion of the Wharf Com- mittee,” he wrote, “that the usc of the splendid water recreational facilities afforded by the Potomac River and its tributaries should be encouraged by providing adequate facilities in the har- bor for yachts and small boats.

When the economy act caught him he was serving the first year of an extension granted him beyond the 70-year span. Praised by Leaders. Many years ago he started work on the catalcg, which was destined to bring him fame in the scientific world. Dr. Hall today pointed to the tributes paid him by leading scientists—including Yorke, Maplestone, Baylis and Daubney. The chief of the zoological division, after citing paragraphs from scientific works Jauding Dr. Hassall's work, said: “Many such quotations could be given and all of them would illustrate the fact that without this comprehensive guide to the literature, complete and mono- graphic studies, especially on the parasitic worms, but also on other para- sites to a large extent, could not be written with anything approaching completeness.” Dr. Hall explained that with Dr. Hassall's catalog a scientist can work ten times faster. The chief places his associate’s catalog as worth $1,000,000 a year. Dr. Hassall inaugurated his catalog about 1890, when Dr. Charles Wardell‘[ Stiles was chief of the zoological di- vision. Part of it was published jointly by Stiles and Hassall. For his distinguished service in vet- erinary medicine, the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons of London, Eng- land, awarded Dr. Hassall the Steele Medal, given for pre-eminent work. At the time the catalog was published, the buying individual numbers as they ap- | peared, for $3.30. The latest quotation |on a complete set of this work, which | has long been out of print, is $150, Hall said. “a complete set could be purchased, by COMMISSION MOVE on Valuation Methods Hit by Five Companies.
