Oh, other lead ers will riKe, Those puny and lit tle leaders who now control will not control always." Chairman Green of the commit tee, paid his respects to Florida, which has barred the Inheritance tax through amendment of Its con stitution, declaring to the people of Florida "you never can make really. great state through col onies of tax dodgers and money grabbers, parasites and coupon cutters, jazz trippers and booze hunters.

A Htorm of proteHt asalnut the Italian deht settlement hroke in the Henate today a Chairman Smoot, of the finance committee sought to ob tain consideration of debt agree ments negotiated during the con gressional recess. Finally Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, objected to a unanimous comient arrangement to take up the settlements and the bills of rati fication went over. -. Meanwhile notice had been served by a number of senators that considerable discussion would precede a vote. House to Act First 1 "While the debate was in pro gress in the senate. Chairman Green of the house ways and means committee, informed the house. that since the debt settlements were revenue legislation they must originate in the house and that, if the Benate acted first, he would ask the house to ignore such ac senator Smoot who is a mem ber of the debt commission which negotiated the agreements, bore the brunt of the senate fire, but Senator Reed. Republican. Penn sylvania, frequently came to hlsJ assistance, rne utan senator 'in sisted that the Italian agreement was the best that Could be ob tained and that he had doubt of the ability of Italy to carry it out. Th?.t raised the question of f 100, 000.000 loan which New York bankers made to Italy immediately atter the agreement was signed, Senator Harrison, Democrat, Mis sissippi, called attention to the fact that the interest rate on this -loan was ,sQven".j)er , cent. Senator Howell, Republican, Ne braska, asserted that Raly would pay none of the principal of its debt; that all it agreed to pay is 1.8 per cent Interest on tho prin cipal over a period of 62 years, and that this arrangement ultima tely would cost American tax pay ers ?&.uuu,uyu,uuy. French Arc Criticised The Italian settlement as well as the British settlement, was char acterized by Senator Reed of Missouri as a process of "white washing" to enable , international bankers to make loans at 6 and 7 per cent. The French debt was brought into the discussion and Senator Smoot warned that unless the French government settled with this country and England, the franc would follow the same course the German mark did. He also dis closed that when the first French commission came here, it bluntly told the American commission that France did not owe this country anything. Senator Reed, Missouri, con trasted France's failure to settle its debt with its military onera tfbns, declaring it waa conducting war in Northern Africa ln an effort to "steal" Jand and liberty or a tree people. 0.

Sub. mission to congress of an amend ment to the reclamation act. per mitting the reclamation service to purchase the land of delinquent settlers and giving! to the rail roads affected by the success of projects the selling agency for land so acquired, was agreed upon at a conference of railway and reclamation bureau officials at the Interior department today. Details ot the proposed legisla tion are still ln a formative stage but in general the suggestions agreed upon provide that the re- lamatlon service may recapture land on which settlers are delin quent in .payment, of dues and taxes. Railway representatives agreed that if the right to sell such land were given them they would un dertake work without any commis sion or other charge to the government. The proposed legislation was characterized by Reclamation Com missioner Kiwood Mead as the most constructive result of the reclamation conference of which the meeting today was an infor mal sequel. It is intended to be of general application ln the reclama tion service but at present such authority, if given by congress, will be applied principally in those projects where the percentage ox delinquent sentlers is greatest. - Advisers arc u anted There was general agreement on suggestion, embodied in this year's appropriation bill that men be niaced on reclamation projects to advise and assist new settlers until they have become used to their new surroundings and have brought their land to. a profitable state of cultivation. Representatives of great railway systems traversing or aajaceni 10 reclamation projects attended the conference ana problems oi eacn nroiect were discussed in turn. narticular attention being paid, to those at present not on a prom able basis. - Mead said latest advices irora some of these "sick kittens" as he termed them, showed a marked turn for the better ' during the nrpspnt season. He' received dur ing, the session a telegram from thft Run River nroiect In Montana, stating that final returns from the entire project showed a per acre return of more than double that of 1924. . . ."
