BILL MAY HTJET AMERICA
London The government's anti
dumping, measure passed thru Its
"first stages in the house of commons
ly a vote of 396 to 51 and is expected
to be adopted by Friday. If the gov
ernment takes advantage of its full
scope the bill may be used to curtail
American imports to Great Britain.
The class it affects is made up prin
cipally of many hundreds of manu
factured articles received from the
United States and their price here
would probably become prohibitive
if the maximum tariff increase of 100
percent was levied. '
However, considerable doubt ex
ists a.H to how the government and
the board of trade would use their
emergency powers. There 1s a feel

ing-In some quarters that the as
sumption of authority to halt dump
ing by tariffs is designed primarily
to hold off the large conservative ele
ment which is howling for protection
on everything. The measure contains
the proviso that excessive imports
must be shown before the emergency
tariffs can be applied and there is
considerable question as to whether
there were many types of imports
in the affected class on which actual
dumping can be proved.

Tax Equality
to Help Farmers
Taber Outlines Policies to Be Placed
Before Coming Congress 65th
Annual Convention
Madison, Wis. Declarations for
extensive revision of the nation's tax
ation systehi in the interest of equal
ity for the farmer and tor a rural
credit financing program we're 'key
notes in the address of Mr Louis J.
Taber, master of the National
Orange, opening- its sixty-fifth an
nual convention here.
Speaking to delegates from more
than 30 states, he voiced the de
mands of a large cross-section of
American agriculture, with Imme
diate political significance in the
fact that they come on the eve of
a Congressional, session at which
farm legislation promises to be one
of the most Important problems.
The Orange is meeting in the Mis
sissippi Valley region for the first
time in 12 years.
Mr. Taber reiterated the stand of
the Grange for the export deben
ture or downward revision of the
tariff with removal of restrictive
kgilation as an alternative demand
upon the coming Congress. He rec
ommended that Congress adopt Pres
ident Hoover's plan for unemploy
ment relief and for financial and in
dustrial stabilization.
Dry Stand Eeaffinned
He restated tlve Grange position
in behalf of respect for law, war up
on crime and enforcement of the pro
hibition amendment and in behalf of
j world peace, the reduction of arma
! nitnts and adherence to the World
! Court.
Describing taxation as "the great
est single hurden" resting upon the
farmer, Mr. Taber outlined a pro
gram embodying (1 a broader base
of taxation, compelling privi'ege, in
come and luxury to help real es
tate support the government; (-)
periodic adjustment of puMic sala
ries cu the basis cf service rendered
and the purchasing power of the dol
lar; (3) a sound. budget law and an
adequate debt control lew; (4) an
Equitable, graduated state income
tax, with low exemptions and low
rates, and no reduction In federal in
come taxes except a lowering in ex
emptions; (5) vigorous opposition to
a general salea'tax; (6) increased In
heritance taxe, allowing states to
retain a greater', portion of amounts
collected; (7) tdistribution -of a por
tion of the federal Income tax tp the
states for schoqj purposes.
Restriction of Acreage
Mr. Taber urged a long time land
utilization .' policy, with repeal or
amendment f "the . homestead ' law
and wilhdrawUlv of remaining lands
in the public ,dcmaa4n from entry, in
the interest of . .assuring that no
more land be brought under culti
vation while farm prices-are low.
He commended the federal farm
loan system which "has withstood
the greatest financial storm that can
come to an industry" and urged fur
ther trial for the federal marketing
act which, he said, will not be re
pealed, but when amended will be
changed by its ; friends and not its
enemies.
The Grange master served notice
that the Grange will oppose any
coercive methods of surplus control,
which, he insisted, must be handled
voluntarily by farmers on the basis
of organization and correct infor
mation. He opposed the suggested
moratorium on farm debts.
Mr. Taber offered definite sugges
tions for rural credit financing, in
cluding formation of a pool or re
volving fund to handle distressed
real estate and a federal appropria
tion to increase the capital struc
ture of banks in the, farm loan sys
tem. COAL INDUSTRY DEPRESSED
Pittsburgh The third interna
tional conference on bituminous coal
took its initial ,step Monday night
toward evolving. a plan for rescuing
the giant industry from the depressed
economic state into which it has fal
len. A resolution was introduced and
passed In the closing minutes of the
session instructing Dr. Thomas b.
Baker, president of Carnegie Insti
tute of Technology and chairman of
the conference, to name a committee
"which will receive recommendations
as to means cf securing an agency
for bringing about the economic co
ordination of the coal industry.
From the trend of the day's confer
ence discussions, during which a
dozen speakers described the effects
of the 45 percent decrease in bitu
minous coal production during the
past twelve yeargthere appeared to
be little doubt that the recommenda
tions to be presented to the com mi
tee will be both numerous and wide
ly divergent in their scope

Change of
Venue in Powers
Case is Asked
Attorney fcr Alleged "Bluebeard
Fears Client Unable to Get
a Fair Trial.
Clarksburg. W. Va. Contending
that his client could not possibly get
a fair trial here because the minds
of Harrison county people are "poi
soned" against him, counsel for
Harry F. Powers, accused of being
the killer of Quiet Dell, asked for
a change of venue. A few hours later,
the Harrison county court designated
the Moore opera house as the site of
the trial, which Is to begin Dec. 7.
J. Ed Law, the portly "mail order
Romeo's" attorney, in asking for a
change of venue, protested against
holding the trial in a theater because
the present court house "is not large
enough to accommodate the large
crowd of spectators, and excitement
seekers." Such a place, he said, will
"rob the trial of dignity of a court
procfeding and all the sanctity that
should prevail in a court of justice..
Law cited numerous reasons to
bear out his contention that an im
partial trial would be impossible for
Powers here. Circulation of a pnmph
let. entitled "Love Secrets of Blue
beard," containing the "famous un
printable letter," articles in maga
zines of the detettive class and
song, titled "The Crime of Quiet
Dell," tended to prejudice the en
tire community against Powers, Law
said.
He referred to the "vicious mob
which threatened Powers when he
was eon fined to the county jail here
and said prejudicial matter circulated
thruout the county had made the resi
dents hate Powers and view him in
the light of a fiend. Law charged
that after-Powers' arrest for the slay
ing of Mrs. Dorothy Pressler Lemke
Northboro, Mass., and Mrs. 'Asta
Buick Eicher, Park Ridge, III.; widow
and her three children, he was beat
en and mauled by police until he
signed a confession ."the contents of
, which, he did not fully comprehend
the confession. State Journal.'
EDUCATION PLAN DEBATED
Washington The recommendation
to President Hoover by his advisory
committee on education for creation
of a department of education revived
agitation over that long discussed
project. Announcement by Chairman
Reed, of the last house education
committee, that he would reintro
duce his bill to create such a depart
ment was followed by a statement
from Senator Bingham, former mem
ber cf the senate education commit
tee, opposing it.
Bingham at the same time praised
that part of the report recommend
ing that the federal governmen
maintain a hands-off policy in state
educational affairs. He contended
department would "constantly reach
out for more and more power and in
terfere more and more with the sa
cred rights of communities to say
what kind of education they wanted
their children to have." A bound
copy of the report was transmitted
formally to the president by Charles
R. Mann, chairman of the commit
tee thru Dr. Mann and commended
the work. A -
TILS0N STILL SEES HOPE
Washington The house republi
can speakership nomination was
claimed by Representative Tilson of
Connecticut. The republican floor
leader in the last three congresses
also served notice that if his party
failed to organize the house he ex
pects to be the minority chieftain
He expressed confidence in the par
ty's unity. In a formal statement
Tilson said that though the republi
cans are in the minority, "control of
the house is not yet in the-hands of
the opposition" and that, "we shall
fight to the last ditch. The political
balance of power in the house, has
changed once since last March a7id
may change again before congress
