Pledges, He Says
Washington (IP) The western
etates, whose senators are re-writing
the republican tariff bill, "have
n't any chips In the game at all,"
because they pay only a little more
than two per cent of the Income
taxes, Joseph R. Grundy, legisla
tive agent and raiser of republican
campaign funds, told the senate
lobby investigating committee Tues
day. If It was not for the provision
of the constitution that gives every
atate two senators, these states would
never be heard of." Grundy said.
The income tax figures show the
relationship of the states.
'We find these representatives
of so little not are obstructing
and destroying the great reserves of
tazation to such an extent that it
Is a national tragedy and I think It
cuaht to be pointed out to the
country by some on."
The senate adjourned without

ducing his censure resolution

HEART ATTACK
CAUSES DEATH
GF MINISTER
Clifton Springs, N. Y. m The
Rev. Dr. John Roach Straton, noted
militant fundamentalist Baptist
preacher, died at a sanitarium here
early Tuesday. He was 54 years old.
Although seriously ill with a ner
vous breakdown for the last month,
death came unexpectedly after a
heart attack. His wife was -at his
bedside when he died.
He suffered a slight paralytic
stroke last April and immediately
after went to a sanitarium at At
lanta, Oa., for a rest. He returned
to his home a month ago, but soon
suffered from a nervous break
down and entered the sanitarium
here.
Dr. Straton was pastor of Calvary
Baptist church In New York but
by his aggressive campaigns against
modernism, and especially evolution,
he gained nation-wide prominence.
During the last presidential cam
paign he took an active part
against the candidacy of Alfred E.
Smith, attacking him from his pul
