In municipal and township elec

Republican dtrongholds, taking
Cicero, Chicago suburb and one-time

Milwaukee re-elected the Socialist
mayor since 1916. Daniel W. Hoan, in

The New York and Wisconsin pri

Georgia convention today will boost
It to 338. There will be 1164 dele

X-RAY
PORTIONS OF
.REVENUE BILL
ARE OPPOSED
(Continued From Page One)
45 per cent estate tax, and the taxes
on stock and bond transfers.
Assails Certain Levies
Several times Mills departed from
hie statement and raised his voice
to assail particular levies. ,
"How can the railroads, prostrate
on their back," he asked, "get the
capital' they must have while these
punitive business taxes prevail?"
Replying to questions. Mills said
the treasury complaints were not
directed so much at the high rates
but rather at new levies "imposing
double taxation on business."
Senator Harrison, of Mississippi,
ranking Democrat, asked Mills for his
specific program.
The treasury head said he felt the
committee could take the treasury's
original recommendations to supple
ment revenue lost by elimination of
provisions against which he com
plained. Harrison proposed Mills submit a
new and specific program. . . .
"Frankly," replied Mills, "I much
prefer the treasury's original pro
gram. I think the bill proposed by
the ways and means committee was
all right but I prefer our first pro
gram." Chairman Smoot and Harrison
asked Mills to submit in detailed
form Just what he would cut out of
the bill and substitute.
Opposes Retroactive Tax
Replying to Senator Connally, (D.,
Texas) the secretary opposed, any at
tempt now to Impose a retroactive
increase in the Income tax on last
year's income payable this year.
"The treasury believes the time is
now past for levying a retroactive
tax Increase," replied Mills. "The
lncomo taxes were paid on March 15.
It Is out of the question In our mind.
It is Impracticable and you do the
taxpayer an injustice. We favored
such a move prior to tho first tax
payments on March 15."
Sales Tux Dlsciuwed
The discussion turned to the gen
eral sales tax which wns stricken from
tho bill by the house.
"Let us got It straight," said Sen
ator Gore (D., Okla.) "In view of
the decisive house vote against the
sales tax we aren't going to waste
time and try and revive It?"
"The treasury," replied Mills firm
ly, "will make no recommendation for
the manufacturers sales tax now."
Harrison argued the Increased In
come and inheritance taxes would
bring In more than (250,000,000 In
1034 than Is estimated, for 1033.
"I don't know how much," said
Mills, "but more would be collected
In 1934. But bear in mind we con
template that. We want to balance
the budget In 1033 without meeting
the sinking fund requirement. We
want a real balanced budget In 1934,
meeting the sinking fund obliga
tion." Mills declined to express an opin
ion on the policy of putting tariff
rates in the revenue bill as was done
by the house In levying Import duties
on coal and oil.
Democrats pressed him closely for
a committment on these rates, but
he flatly declined to go on records
, The 'committee then adjourned un
til two o'clock when Mills will re
sume.
President Win
Veto Philippine
Bill, Is Belief
WASHINGTON, Apr. 0 P) A veto
apparently waits at tho White House
for legislation to grant independence
to tho Philippine Islands.
By on astonishing margin 306
to 47 the Hare bill under which in
dependence would come after eight
or ten years, passed tho house Mon
day. Later this session, perhaps in a
month, this bill or a substitute for
it will be taken up In the senate, with
fair chances of passage. It may(1thero
fore. be up to the president to meet
this long-standing issue. The two
members of his cabinet most con
cerned in the question, are definitely
and sharply opposed.
Secretary Hurley, following Tues
day's cabinet meeting, said the pass
age of the bill was ill-advised and
did not meet the essential require
ments for withdrawal of American
sovereignty from th0 islands.
Raising the time limit for indepen
dence from five years, as originally
propi-scd In the house, to eight, the
war secretary said does not remove
his own fundamental objections to
the bill.
He his said that much ground
work icmalns to be completed, before
the Philippines are ready for self gov
ernmi nt.

Dogfiih U Curie
The curse of the rod flslierm;in Is
the dogfish. These voracious croa
lures will savng!lv attjick a hooked
I salmon and literally ent him alive,
j and seem to be possessed of Increcl
jlhle cunning. Muny a fisherman
! will vouch for It that a dogfish will
sever a line with his teeth In or
tier to free another caught on the
hook. If there nre many dogjlsh,
which happens periodically, it makes
no difference how many salmon there
ore, the fisherman mny as well go
back to camp.

The . Island of Martha's Vineyard
was a center of interest again yes
terday. Not many miles offshore five
coastguard vessels hovered, while an
amphibian like the one fisherman
said they saw Lindbergh piloting
Sunday flew over Nashawena Island.
Later a dragger, believed to be the

boarded this craft Sunday, and this
was linked with the visit of the plane.

circumstances In the nursery and
there aro no circumstances of any
significance In this connection." He
ignored a question which asked veri
fication or denial of a report the baby

to Gormany's unrestricted submarine

Wisconsin Insurgent shouted: "The
poor who are called to rot In tho ;
trenches have now no organized
mouthpiece; thoy havo no press, but
tho day Is coming when they will bo
heard."
And later with dramatic Intensity
ho cried: "Tho man who says I nm
unpatriotic lies in his throat."
Said Senator Norrts of Nebraska:
"I am most emphatically opposed to

(Continued from Page One)
mob, shouting demands for Increased
doles for the Jobless, attacked and
roughly handled the premier. - '
Tho disturbance yesterday, which!
b tar ted at tho colonial house but
quickly spread over the city, resulted
from a charge that Sir Richard fal
sified council minutes to facilitate
transfor of publlo money to a po- ,
litical fund.
' Ten thousand strong, the citizens
numbering many unemployed, march
ed to the colonial building crying for
a "proper investigation." The mob
grew sullen and then clamorous as
Its deputation encountered delay In
gaining admittance. : . .
"Mountles" tried to push the crowd
back. A ragged man tore a police-;
man's capo off. Drawing batons, the;
officers belabored the crowd, and In
a trice tumult roared. Flinging,
sticks and stones, the mob forced po
ll co to retreat. They smashed almost'
evory window In the building, crashed
down doors and tossed every rnov-?
able object out of the basement, even;
a piano. . .!'! ,
Official documents, ' tattered, llt-t
tored the street. Tho librarian, Mlsss
Morris, was hit ' by a' stone. Tho1
crowd's rush was so violent It
knocked a policeman's horse off Its
feet. ' 1 - -' v !- jj
Penned inside the. building, with:
tho police, the prime minister was;
rescued by two ministers and a priest,-
who escorted him through the crowd-?
lng throng to a private house. Later,'
ho left the hoiise by a rear door. One
of his rescuers, the Rev. W. A. God-1;
frey, had sponsored tho resolution
demanding that the charges against
Sir Richard bo investigated. v
