' ».’• At the other end of the Avenue, however, the boys on Ckpitol Hill just don’t wanL,tp_vote any kind of new taxes in an election year. That is the reason for the renewal of loud in flationary talk. ' A year ago it would have been quite possible, given similax circumstances, for a greenback mea sure, to'have got through both Houses of CongrCs.s even over Presidential veto. The prospect of inflation has been so widely' <iiscu.ssed, .since then, and the general pubn$__rea.c.tion against it has become so evident, that it is not now likely that anything of the kind will be attempted. Hurling, criticism at Japanese pol icy in a speech on the senate floor, the prominent administration, man spoke of treaties openly and ruth lessly violated. He referred to what he called Japanese “threats, pro paganda, and arrofirance.” “China is still an independent, sov- exeigm government at peace with, the world and desirous of trading with us, And there is nothing in the cir- cumsta^es that can legally, or long physically interfere with such trade.” Because of his high position at the head of Jhe senate committee deal ing with international affaix«„.v-hi8 speech was regarded as certain to at tract world-wide attention. He called upon' Congress to take cognizance of the island empire's policy toward China xirid “its inteirded effect upon the United States.” People Of State Escape Disease sales the following described proper ty to wit: “All that certain piece, parcel or lot of land, together with the im provements thereon, lying, being and situate in the corporate lim its of the Tbwn of Clinton, Coun ty and State aforesaid, contain ing five eights (5-8) of an acre, more or less, and bounded and de scribed as follows, to wit: On. the North by lands now or formerly belonging to the estate of.B.

Much more talk i.s heard of a general/manu facturer’s sales tax, and that is en tirely possible. One of the best plans being serM ously discussed is'for a^law to legal ize lotteries and put a heavy tax- on them. That appeals to a good many of the city members, but the rural districts are supposed to be against it. On the other hand, many members from—fhe^ West-and-Stmt h creasing the Ii<|Uor taxes, the city repre.sentatives are opposed. Somewhere along the line, how ever, a billion dollars more than has been provided for must be found, and the Administration definitely does not want to have to do any mofe im portant borrowing. Federal Retterve Board The personnel of the new Federal Reserve Board is generally regarded ■as being .satisfactory even to such critics as Senator Glass, who has bur ied the hatchet fn his feud with Chair man Eccles. Mr. Eccles’ influence at the White House is steadrily increasing. The President relies upon him in finan cial matters almost as much as he does upon Secretary Morgenthau, and both Mr. Ecclc>s and Mr. Morjrenthau are detemtined that there shall be no inflationary movement.s so far as the Treasury and the Federal Reserve System can control the monetary situation. Politically, the ..current discussion is about the calm, analytical and lib eral tone of the speech made by Gov ernor Ijandon, of Kansas, which con trasts sharply with some of -the more abusive and l^lligerent utterances on both sides x)f the political fence.

A strongly-worded opinion read by Justice Sutherland held the levy—im posed onTy on large publications—-was a “deliberate and calculated device” to restrict the “circulation of infor mation.” Citing the nation’s constitutional guarantee of A free press, the court added that the Louisiana tax was suspicious” in form, and levied with the “plain purpose qf penalizing pub lishers.” The tax law — passed in 1934 at Long’s request — required publishers, both newspaper and magazine, with a circulation of 20,000 or more weekly to pay the state 2 per cent of gross receipts from their advertising. ’S STORE No. 12 Broad Street Clinton^S.
