Reed Salary Cut Not Applic able to All Would Not Hit Long Term Officials.. According to Attorney Gen eral Sorensen. Attorney General Sorensen said he i3 of the opinion that the constitu tional provision prohibiting the in crease or decrease in the salary of any public officer during his term applies to initiative laws as well as to laws passed by the legislature. Under this construction the initia tive law proposed by Senator Perry Reed to cut the salaries of state of ficials and legislators, altho it be comes effective in name immediately after adoption by voters of the state and proclamation of the governor and not subject to veto of the gov ernor, would become effective in fact Jan 5 next and then only agai state officials elected to the new- term of office beginning Jan. 5. would not apply to six Judges of the supreme court, two members ot the railway 'commission, two mem bers of the board of control whose terms of office are six years, nor to State Superintendent Taylor whose term of four years does not end un til January, 1S35. Attorney General Sorensen said the initiative, reserved by the peo pie to propose laws, in effect takes the place of legislative power to pass laws. Initiative laws are to become effective upon adoption of voters of the state but he believes the ban on changes of public oddices salaries ap plies to both initiative and legisla tive laws. The section cf the con stitution prohibiting changes of sal aries during terms, he believes, is not confined to legislative acts. In fact the section does not say the legislature shall not make such changes. It is a general declaration in an independent clause that such chances in salaries shall not be made by any power. The section in ejuestion reads: "The legislature shall never grant any extra compensation to any pub lie officer, agent or servant after the services have been rendered not to any contractor after the contract has been entered into, nor shall the com nensation of any public officer, in eluding any officer whose compen nation is fixed by the legislature subsequent to the adoption thereof be increased or diminished during his term of office. HONOR DONE MRS. PUTNAM Washington. Amelia Putnam neared an honor never before accord ed a woman as congress moved to award her the distinguished flying cros3 for her record-breaking sole flight across the Atlantic. The sen ate adopted a resolution to author ize President Hoover to confer upon her the coveted medal, heretofore worn only by men. The resolution was introduced by Senator Walcott and was immediate ly approved with the unanimous con sent of the state. A similar resolu tion was introduced in the house by Ren. Florence P. Kahn. "Walcott said she was the third woman to get a transport license, the first to pilot a plane in solo flight across the con tinent and return, the first to cross the Atlantic by air, the first to estab iish a woman's altitude record and the first holder of the woman e maximum rpeed record. VETERANS THUMB NEW RIDE Washington. Ind. The "bonus brigade" has thumbed another ride. Governor Leslie acted to provide In diana national guard motor trucks for three hundred World war vet- cans cn oute to the national capital to ask cash payment of their adjust ed servica certhTcates. Twenty-six trucks were brought here and are expected to move out Thursday for the Ohio ftate line with the "bri gade" aboard.

Garner's Relief Bill is Ready for the House Includes Appropriations for Work on Missouri River Already Under Way. Washington, May 26. Bearing the approval of house democrats, the $2,100,000,000 Garner relief bill was completed tonight almost coincident ally with the enunciation of a state ment from administration quarters that a public works program would be a "shock to puTTlic confidence." The Garner bill carries a $1,047,- 000,000 public works provision. It also would provide 100 million dol lars to be administered by President Hoover for direct relief and would add one billion dollars to the capital of the Reconstruction corporation for lran3 to (states, cities, counties, individuals and corporations that could furnish proper security. For rivers and harbors work the bill carries 220 million dol lars, including $20,070,000 for the Missouri river from Kansas City, to Sioux City, and $11, 290,000 from Kansa3 City to the mouth. These projects are already under way. The expression of administration opposition to a public works pro gram came from Secretary Mills in a statement dealing specifically with the program advanced severaT nights ago by Alfred E. Smith of New York. He said "public work3 mean public borrowing, an unbalanced budget and a shock to public confidence." Mills urged a balanced budget as the first necessity for business re covery. Says Authorization Ready. The Garner measure does not specifically provide for a bond Is sue but Speaker Garner explained to his colleagues in a two-hour session behind closed doors that the treas ury already was authorized to issue bonds up to 2S billion dollars and to issue treasury bills, certificates and notes up to 10 billion dollars and that authority for a bond issue to cover the building projects was un necessary. The Garner measure provides for a tax of one-fourth of a cent a gal lon on gasoline to meet the interest and sinking fund requirements on the bonds issued by the treasury for the program. Garner estimated that the gasoline tax would return approximately $42,500,000 a year and declared that with the tax we are undertaking this program on an absolutely sound principle, for we are taxing the peo Movie (Magnate I f -?y .oV f h V V . yyX i; ft ' 'I J ' m h JVf: ' i r If) . , ' i f Henry Warner (center), executive of the Warner Brothers Motion Pic-i ture Company, is shown with Joseph Bernhardt, a colleague, as he arrived, at the Senate Banking and Curre&cy investigation of stock selling.; Testimony presented at the hearing revealed that the Warner brother i took, net profits of oyer $3,000,000 in alleged ui&aipulatioxu of their own I company's stock. .. . ple to take care of the sinking fund." "The hcuse will pass this bill, or something like it, long before it ever talks about adjournment," Garner said. "Afer it is reported out by the ways and mean3 committee, prob ably next week, we democrats will caucus and we hope the democrats will vote to support the bill." Lifts Restrictions. The measure removes restrictions on the Reconstruction Finance cor poration and gives it broad latitude in order that loans may be made to "aid in financing agriculture, com merce and industry and other prod ucts and to assist in the relief of unemployment." The 91 -page bill has seven parts and 3C1 sections, but most of ft is occupied with the specific authori zations for public works. It author izes $DCS,782,000 in new construc tion anel reauthorizes ? 47$, 092. 4 68 in previously approved public works which have not been appropriated for. Among other big items in the mearurew hicii affect every section of the country are: Federal highway aid, $233,400, 000. Flood coiitrcd, ?1S0,C92, 1GS. Public buildings. $411,772,000. Total. $1,047.
