The political bureau, it was learn-j

ei today, is considering tieuling tr.ej
maximum monthly income allowed
party members from three hundred
to nine hundred rubles (about $150
to $450.)
The iaise.3 are planned in accord
ance with the policy outlined by
Joseph Stalin nine months ago, when
ho decided on the abolition of the
system of "equal wages for all." Fac
tory workers heieTofcre have been
limited to the smalleat salaries in
order to set an example for the rct
o the proletariat.
Tlirae factors were said to be in
spiring the action. The fust is the
enormous los? of time and energy by
party members holding important
posts due to the nererssity for neck
ing out places where they may buy

Police Fatally
Wound Fugitive
in Omaha Store
Eelieve That Man Is C. E. Darling,
Sought for Bank Robbery
in Missouri.
Omaha. A-man believed to be C.
E. Darling, one of four men sought
in the" robbery of a bank at Repub
lic, Mo., March 7, was shot and fatal
ly wounded in a clothing store here
late Thursday by Police Sergeants
frank Haley and Harvey Haney. The
man collapsed after fleeing a block
from the store and died a half hour
later at a hospital.
An Omaha driver's license bear
ing the name of G. E. Darling was
found in the dead man's clothes.
Einar Berg, nephew of the store
ov.jner, aid the stranger, accompan
ied by another man, entered the store
and tendered an express order in
payment for a hat. Recalling warning.-;
rnt out against cashing ex
press orders stolen in the robbery at
Republic. lirrg took the order to the
credit department, where it was
found to bear the rame number as
that of the series stolen 'in the bank

Han's Gun Overlooked.
Returning downstairs, Berg passed
the police officers who were trying
on new uniforms. He told them of
the express order and Haley and
Haney went with him to question the
strangers. Haney rearched the tall
er of the two men and discovered
rr.ore express orders but did not find
tile man's gun.
The straiiRcrs were ordered to the
rear of the sto-e. As the; group
reached there, the tall man drew his
gun end fired upon the officers. He
missed and turned and fled toward a
side door. Just as he reached it
Haley fired three times and Haney
once. Tho man staggered, lurched
thru the door and fled into the street
with tho officers in pursuit. In the
meantime the shorter man had fled.
After a pursuit of a block .the of
ficers captured the wounded man and

Ohio Assembly
Meets to "Find
Way to Relief
Special Session Expected to Raise
23.500.0CO by Governor Geo.
White's Plan.
Columbus, Ohio. With their task
cut out for them by Gov. George
White, members of the Ohio General
Assembly went into special session
to enact relief legislation. The Gov
ernor issued the legislative call when
it became apparent that many muni
cipalities and other units could not
continue their relief work on local
funds.
His plan, which is ready for
joint session of Senate and House, he
believes will raise 523,500,000. It
include.", a one per cent increase in
the cxci;e tax on public utilities ever
a period of five years. This tax
would raise about $11,000,000. Car
riers and pipe lines would be ex
eluded. Tho money would be alio
cated to the counties for use. Other
principal items in his plan:
Issuance of relief bonds by coun
ties, subject to state tax commission
and state welfare department ap
proval.
Re-enactement of the law enabling
schco? boards to furnish clothes, food.
etc., to needy children.
Authorization of taxing sub-divi
sions to u.-.c their portions of gaso
line tax and automobile license tax
revenues for relief purposes.
Formation of a state relief com
mission of nine members to super
vice relief expenditures.
The Ohio Chamber of Commerce
opposes the increase in the utilities
excise tax and suggests instead that
all delinquent taxes be collected.
The O.no Farm Bureau opposes
diversion of ths gasoline and auto
mobile license tax moneys, and sug
gests that permission be given to
borrow on these funds for relief
work. Other less organized opposi
tion to various point3 in the Gov
ernor's program also has been voiced
from various sections of the State.
A wide variety of relief measures are
expected to be offered during the
short session.
A tax of $1 on after-dinner
speeches is suggested in Ontario. The
financial condition of the province
must be desperate. Rarely, in ordi
nary time3. is anything taxed at
200 per cent of its value.

Improvement in
Bank Situation
Turn for Better Believed Due to
Steps Taken by Congress Hoo
ver Tells of Loans. -
Washington. A definite improve
ment in the nation's banking situ
ation was seen by the federal re
serve board and was attributed to
action taken by congress to expand
credit. Tho board ascribed an up
ward trend to the law creating the
Reconstruction Finance corporation,
the organization of the corporation's
work and the enactment of the Glass
Steagall bill to increase the powers
of the federal reserve system. It
said the latter had increased the sys-
tern's power to co-operate in busi-
ness rocovery and had strengthened
the credit structure of the coun
try. "The improvement in conditions
is indicated bj' a pronounced decline
in the number of bank failures, by
a strengthening of the bond mar
ket and by a return flow of currency
from the public to the banks," the
board said. The board reviewed the
Glass-Steagall bill, explaining that
its provisions for increased powers
of the federal reserve system were
meant to be used in emergencies to
aid banks which found themselves
in difficulties.
Speaking of the broadening of the
eligibility provisions of the bill
which permits banks in difficulties
to get funds from federal reserve
banks on sound assets not eligible
heretofore, the board said:
"Provisions in the new bill, how
ever, do not deal with the question
of eligibility under ordinary circum
stances and do not contemplate any
enlargement in the definitions of
eligible paper. These sections are
intended to piovide for unusual and
temporary conditions where an in
dividual member bank, for example,
because of loss of deposits either thru
gradual withdrawals or thru a run.
finds itself under necessity of dis
posing of Fome of its sound but in
eligible assets or else closing its
doors and going into the hands of
a receiver, with the subsequent loss
to its depositors and bad effect on
the banking situation.

reserve banks in such circumstances
are in a position to make it possible
for the bank to continue in oper
ation if it has a sufficient amount
of good assets to Justify the desired
credit accommodation.
The board also hailed the provi
sions of the law broadening the se
curities which may be used to guar
antee circulation as an aid to the
federal reserve system in that it
would permit an increase in free
gold. Many banka had used gold,
above the legal 40 percent require
ment to back their currency issues
rather than use the then eliglbfe
paper. It pointed out that the amount
of currency had increased duo. to
gold exports and hoarding and that
tho new law in emergency would en
able the system to call upon its en
tire gold holdings above legal re
quirements If needed.
