NEW LEGION DEAD (Continued from page 1) heads shall give renewed study1 looking to the elimination of every i expenditure not absolutely essen tial to these times. End Seen to Emergency Construction Work "I have asked the director of the budget to make every effort to secure a reduction of at least $500,600,000 ln the estimates of appropriations for the next year below the appropriations made for thetiurrent year, and the coopera tion of the responsible administra tive officers is necessary to achieve this end. A part of this; can be accomplished ln redaction of construction activities which i have been so greatly speeded up during the. past few years as an : aid to employment. I believe we; can reasonably predicate our bud-: get in the confidence that such ex penditures will be less necessary; for employment purposes after; June of next year. "Moreover, these works by vir tue of the enormous outlay since 1930 as a means of employment will be in many particulars in ad vance of the country's immediate need. Other activities can well be further curtailed during the per iod of recovery. Obviously nothing will more contribute to that re covery than a relief from taxation. "While the executives can bud get various activities upon the lowest possible basis, still a large part of the government activities . are fixed by law and they must be ' budgeted for expenditure. In some of these cases the whole or part of the activities can only with the approval of congress be suspend ed. I desire that such possibilities! be fully developed with the direc- tor of the budget with view to pre-i paring a detailed recommendation to the congress for authority toi take such action." ance became known were mis- phone building, arrested him on tn. a charge of possession of intoxl- Local acquaintances of Ray- eating liquor and confiscated over mona KODins wno naa coniirmea 50 quarts of alleged beer. wnn mm wnne ne was in &aiem Constable S.

Work of resur facing this block-long street was started. (Continued front pax 1) the' suggestions made frequently to the executives. Cattlemen Held to Be Paying Interest . "Borrowers who are paying In terest with proceeds from cattle are not complaining." Allen said. "Insurance companies are trying to work out some way of saving farms for farmers." Some farmers still have money, be said, adding "their condition is not as bad as has been paint ed." Directors of the Holiday asso ciation, presented a four-point program to the conference, which suggested an embargo on farm commodities, effective September 20; a moratorium on farm and chattel mortgages; and a special session of congress to enact the Fraxier bill. Failure to adopt such a pro gram, the statement concluded, leaves the farmers no course "ex cept to continue the withholding of farm commodities from the market." Governor Turner Kays Embargo Impossible The request for an embargo drew a statement from Governor Dan Turner of Iowa that the as sociation was asking "the impos slble." "We ean help you by lending moral support to stave off farm foreclosures," Turner said, "we can help you ln the matter of ex tending feed and seed loads. We can lend our moral support In presenting the claims of agrl culture to congress. 'You are asking us to lend our support to a movement that might mean bloodshed and don't believe you want that. I am peaking only for Turner of Io wa, but I think that you are ask ing the Impossible when you in sist on as lending support to an embargo." Mllo Reno, national president of the association, ln the associa tion's closing plea, said the Holi day association would throw up an embargo wall around the mid dle west which would prevent the importation of eastern manufac tured goods as well as the mar keting of farm produce at low prices. "We are going to get wbat is Justly due ns, so help ns God," he shouted.

BOARD TELE NEW ACT FOB BIG CIRCUS TOT DIES OF BURNS EUGENE. Ore., Sept. 10 (AP)-; Two-year-old Anna Marie Morris ef Canary, Ore., died In a hospital here last night from burns. The child fell into a tub of hot water at the family home Wednesday. She was the daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Morris. t (Continued from pace 1) from vacation and has started preparing the dizzy figures for the next biennium, figures which are selcom read save by the .chosen few in the ways and means eem mittee of the legislature. Hanzen has a hard finesse to make with the cards in his hand; he is ter ribly short on state Income re ceipts while retrenchments beyond 15 toO per cent, strike so many people amidships that the kick back Is harsh. Hoss Out on Range; Repairs Hi Feares Hal E. Hoss has left his Taft retreat and last week was in east ern Oregon, probably to "build political fences" although it Is the usual Impression that eakt of the Cascades the country is free and open and unfenced. Hoss has kept as still as Roosevelt on the bonus, over his vote ln the Hol- man-Einzig scrap. It is fully ex pected that the secretary of state. only eight w?ks from election Ltlme, will play amateur role and estrange as little as possible Hol- maa and Meier who each could hurt Hoss considerably, by. optaly urging his defeat. Candidate Maloney of Pendle ton Is campaigning quietly, hut will have to move rapidly to beat the better-known, noisier, more loquacious Holman. Senator Willard Marks is still debating whether to take a ted eral refereeship in bankruptcy for the southern Oregon district and give up his senate job or whether to hold that and lose a $3000 fee annually for his Albany law firm The senator wants the law job bnt he hates like mischief to re sign as senator. Especially is this true since his friends have urged him to be a candidate for re-elec- " tlon as president. They point oat tnat Fred E. Kiddle of LaCrande is not a certainty as the choice of the senate and that he would ' lack the experience of Marks In presiaing over tnat body or act ing as governor during the ab sence of the incumbent. So the political show proceeds and ln four more months the five rings will all be ln full swing. Lion Tamer Bennett will not be down again from Portland but the Great Peter, the fanner from Tamhlil county, will be here to snarl like a tiger and explode like a rhinoceros. From other parts of the state similarly ferocious leg islative animals are coming and even the circus king himself and his ringmasters don't know what will happen. 'Ma9 Fails to Get Courfs Approval AUSTIN. Tex.. Spt. 10 (AP) Mrs. Miriam A.
