Bntisli labor is socialistic,

Imagine the panic in dear old

and socialism controlled the
government of this country.
But the British will manage.
They "muddle through" be

Soon there will be a woman

"Seest th.ou a man diligent in

it, and Wall .Street brokers can
prove it.
Financial gentlemen, diligent
in their 'business, have arrang

That little charge, dearly be

professor C'opeland of Cor
nell, after a careful investiga
tion, figures the income of the
United States at ninety billion
a year.
About a year ago Mr. Ecker
gave the same figures. His work
as president of the Metropoli
tan Life Insurance Company
gives him accurate information.
The important fact supplied
by Mr. Ecker is that wages and
salaries equal sixty billion a
year.
Living expenses equal forty
five billion, leaving fifteen bil
lion over, as a "backlog" for
national prosperity, luxuries,
investments, etc.
For those who talc golf seri

have a low matioii moving pic

it ; you will lie surprised.

WASHINGTON. June 1.
Democratic support of the program
to dispose of the. tariff bill before
the regular Houston begins In De
cember eased up the congressional
situation today and set Republican
lenders to planning anew on a re
cess over the hot summer months.
This threat of Washington's sum
mer hcut also appears to be giving
President Hoover a whip hand on
his extra session program lending
force for the drive to dispose of
the farm, relief controversy at an
early date.
If farm relief and the census re
apiwrtionment bills are enacted
and definit assurance given of a
final vote on the tariff measure
before December. Mr. Hoover will
sanction a recess until September.
Senator Simmons of North Caro
lina, the ranking Democrat en (Ik1
finance committee, annoum-cd to
day after a conference of the mi
nority members of the committee,
that the Democrats would agree
that a date -be fixed .assuring final
distiosition of the tariff before the
regular session in llecember.
Senator Simmons said he did not
want a definite date on which the
tariff bill would be voted upon hut
that the Democrats would endorso
an agreement stipulating that the
measure should bo voted upon not
later than a date before the De
cember session. With the conferees
of the senate nnd house on farm
relief about ready to abandon the
controversial ' export dnbeuntut
provision .of the senate hill to
which the president Is so strongly
opposed. Senator Watsi of In
diana, the Republican leader, look-i
ahead to a recess beginning about
the middle of the month and carry
ing over until Soptrmher.
Before that can come about, the
senate must recede from Its export
debenture provision in the farm
measure anil get this piece of leg
islation to the White House: the
house must approve tho senate bill
for census reapportionment and a
vote must bo taken in the senate
on the recommendation of Presi
dent Hoover for repeal of the na
tional origins Immigration quot-i
basis which goes into effect. July 1.
Ily just what method the recess
is to come about Is still In doubt.
Ordinarily unanimous consent
would be required to bind the sen
ate to an agreement assuring a
fin.il vote-on the Inrlfi bill.
That is not in prospect, however.
Senator Borah and Senator Jones
of Washington, the assistant He-,
publican leader, are both against
the vacation and want the senate
to stay here, hot or cold, until the
tarirf bill Is enacted.
Senator Smoot, the chairman of
the finance comniltlee. says it is
going to take two months to get
the house tariff bill in shape for
senate consideration.

A careful check of the senate

of Oregon, chairman of the confer

had hoped to complete their work
today but found It impossible to do
so.

are borne out the few remaining

One Gubernatorial Candi-
date Speaks Up.
RICHUPOND, Va., June 1. A')
Democratic party leaders of Vir
ginia, with one or.ception, read
without common today the advice
given Virginia anti-Smith Demo
crats by Bishop James Cannon, Jr.,
of the Methodist Kplscopal church,
South, who endorsed an anti-Smilli
ticket for state officers and called
for vigorous opposition to state
Democratic leaders who supported
Alfred K. Smith for the presidency.
Roswell Page, one of three candi
dates for the Democratic nomina
tion for governor, however, said
the Cannon statement would "llh.
erate friends of mine who thought
they had to vote for the friend or
the opponent of James Cannon,
Jr." Bishop Cannon was charged
with misleading Democrats Into be
lieving he was a Democrat while
6UUHrting the Republican nominee
last year, in a statement issued by
Mr. Page.
KJovernor Harry F. Byrtl, Demo
cratic national committeeman for

the Democratic nomination he had
In mind in making the assertion
"If I were shut tip to a choice
among the three candidates for the

there would be no question In my
own mind for which candidate I
would vole."
"I do not wish lo supplement
my letter," Bishop Cannon told re
liorters, adding he was aorry if hla
meaning was not clear to every
one familiar with the present po
litical situation in Virginia.

A proposal to assess a cent a

"Justice Ifoyt," added the com
mittee statement, "goes directly to
tho heart of tho problom of mnklng
possible the return of light wines
nnd beers under stale control nnd
retaining federal prohibition of dis
tilled spirits under a workable defi
nition of the words 'Intoxicating liq
uor' as contained lu the eighteenth
amendment."
Justice lloyt based his plun on
the premise thnt the repeal of tho
eighteenth amendment la neither
! Iiosslblo nor practicable at this
nine; mat ine proposal to permit
the states at the option to dispose
liquor will never prove acceptable
nnd that a imsslblo modification of
the Volstead act aa to the alcoholic
content of bevornges offora no real
solution nf the problem.
I lo contended, howover, that Iho
repeal of the Volstead act and "an
Intelligent definition" of the terina
"Intoxicating liquors" and "alco
holic beverages" would offer a so-
llullon which would promote tem
perance and unite all sections ot
.the country In support of the law.
Justice lloyt minted out that "Hi"
eighteenth amendment prohibits
the manufacture, sale and trans-
' Mortatlon of Intoxicating liquor for
! beverage purposes.' nspllo pop,,.
"T belle.,' he continues, "I doea
f f .Hroho hoverages.'"
, "Intoxicating llqu-
ors," and If these two words could
bo defined Intelligently It would
''olvo Ihe .whole problem. Ho Bllg-
' treulnH lent Him wnrilu "lulnv ten I.
Ing liquora" In the Volstead act b
changed In "alt alcoholic products
of distillation."
The word "liquor" was In the past
applied to distilled spirits such as
whiskey, gin and brandy, the Jus
tice asserted, and was distluriiisbed
from beer and wines.
