yEATH Toll of Dixie Tornado
F
Reachea 273." So read a re
cent headline In the news ' of the
day.
The vernal equinox Is past. Easter
U on the doorstep. The windows oi
the stores are full of new spring
clothes.
a But the sure and unmistakable
sign of spring is the beginning oi
the tornado season back in the East
and the South.
fOOD OLD OREGON! No torna
does. No cyclones. No sudden,
angry moods of nature in which hu
man life Is taken by wholesale while
they last. Not even earthquakes.
To find a better place to live than
Oregon, you must travel a long, long
way.
fTXISEA6E Stalks War-Torn China'
So reads another headline,
which continues: "Famine and pesti
lence strike at refugees."
Statesmen and big business men
make wars. It is the poor devils ot
common folk that pay for them, in
one way and another, with their
lives.
QTUDENTS at the University oi
Missouri stage a prank, kidnap
ing a pretty co-ed who waa to have
been crowned "queen" of some stu
dent functon or other. Pranks like
that have been going on ever since
students have been students.
But in the ensuing melee some
body loses his head, finds a gun
handy in his pockets and starts
hooting. One boy la shot through
" thfrBtotnfvorr-arw! -ls expected- fcr-ttierf'
Another la shot through both legs
and a third Is wounded In one leg.
1ITHEN people-w thout much brains
" find themselves with a gun In
their hands, trouble ensues In a
surprising number of cases.
lHAT happens with nations, as
well as with Individuals.
A little fuss started at Shanghai,
for example. Just as this prank got
under way at the University of Mis
souri, The Japanese military caste
found Itself with a big gun In its
hand.
You know what followed. The
news reel that are beginning to
how up In America are telling the
story graphically and rather hor
ribly. 1I7HAT are we golng to do about
" It? Do away with guns?
Doing away with guns furnishes
an attractive subject for oratory, but
doesn't promUe much In the way ot
results.
About the only hope, In the long
run, Is MORE PEOPLE WITH
BRAINS.

IT ERE Is another dispatch this
one from Lwow, in Poland:
"Emlltan Czhecowskl, chief of the

of a considerable school or

FIERCE DEBATE
IN REVENUE AC!
Both Parties Split Demo
cratic : Leaders in Open
' Dispute G. 0. P. Leaders
Hold Firm to Last
WASHINGTON, March 24.
(AP) Senator Robinson of Ar
kansas, Democratic lender, said
today he believed conpress would
be forced to return after the na
tional political conventions In
June to finish Its work because
he did not think It possible to
draft a satisfactory tax blU be
fore the party meetings.
WASHINGTON. March 24. (AP)
The sales tax waa rejected by the
house today after fierce debate which
split both parties and brought an
open dispute on the floor between
Democratic leaders. The vote on a
count by tellers, was 223 to 153. As
the house was In committee of the
whole, no roll call vote was taken.
In the closing momenta of debate
two of the Democratic leaders, both
bouse veterans Ralney of Illinois
and Byrns of Tennessee arrayed
themselves on opposing sides with
Ralney advocating and Byrns oppos
ing the tax. The Republican lead
ership held firmly for the -tax.
Necessities Ihitouched
The ways and means committee In
a final gesture to save the tax had
written Into the bill sweeping ex
emptions which covered food, Noth
ing and long list of necessities.
The action removes ahe 2.25 . per
cent levy that originally .was slated
to yield $595,000,000. The provision
formed the base of the measure de
signed to return sufficient revenue
to balance the 1033 federal budget.
Now another search for revenue to
balance the budeet will begin.
tj.f-JIluee Weeks ' 'Debate,, : 1
Action came after nearly three
weeks of bitter debate and spectacu
lar scenes In a strife torn house. Bi
partisan opponents ran rough shod
over their party leaders.
The vote was on the amendment
offered by Representative Doughton
(D., N. C.) a member of the ways
and means committee that drafted
the bill.
Opposition to the sales tax was led
by Doughton, Rankin of Mississippi,
Democrats, and LaQuardla of New
York, Republican independent lead
er. It was the first victory of its kind
in years. The leadership of the
house waa crushed. Speaker darner,
Ralney as the Democratic leader and
Representative Snell of New York,
Republican leader, were unable to
muster enough bi-partisan support
to put the controverted provision
over.
Must Seek New Levies
It means that if the house Is to
pass a bill to meet the deficit, addi
tional revenue amounting to $600,
000,000 will have to be raised through
other levies offered as substitutes.

NEW YORK, Mart.; 24. (AP) U.
S. Senator Burton K. Wfteeler of
Montana (Dem.) said today he In
tends to Introduce In congress a far
mers' refinance bill with provisions
parallel to those In the recently
adopted measure affecting financial
Institutions.
"It will provide," he said, "for
loans to farmers, so they can save
their farms, at the same Interest rate
now charged by the refinance corpo
ration to financial Institutions.
"I don't see how the administra
tion can very well fight It because
It contains for the farmers almost
Identically the earns provisions they
have made in their own bill for fin
ancial Institutions."
Senator Wheeler predicted the sales
tax would noV-bo passed By congress
"unless It Is applied only to luxur
ies."
Cant Take Any More
"You can't take any more away
from the worker and the farmer than
already has been taken," he ssld.
"The people of the middle west are
on the verge of revolt now. If you
want to add fuel to the flames, pass
the ssles tax.

congress have not been of any benefit
