WEALTH TAX BILL
PRESENTSESSION
(Continued from Page One)
the "nuisance" tax resolution would
lead to indefinite delay, leaders have
urged against such action. Most ol
the new levle expire June 30 and
the leaders want them renewed be
fore that time.
Speaking for a sizeable group in
both parties, La Follette said he
would offer amendment to raise an
estimated 500.000,000 to 1 .000.000,
000 of revenue "unless we can get
a definite assurance that a separate
bill Is going to be passed."
La Follette was "encouraged" over
the outlook, especially since Borah,
Idaho Republican and often a critic
of the new deal, came out for the
president's recommendations for an
Inheritance tax, a nd higher levies
on large individual and corporation
Incomes.
In a formal statement last night,
Borah described the proposals as
"not only sound economically, but
sound In morals."
He did not aee them aa a "soak-the-rlch"
or "share-the-wealth" Idea,
but rather as & "share-the-burden-of-government
program."
There will be a large crop of tur
keys In Jackson county this season,
according to County Agent Robert G.
Fowler, who says there Is a lare
hatch in this section, as well as In the
entire Paclflct coast area. The local
turkey hatch la well distributed over
the entire county, according to Fow
ler. The young turkeys are now
scratching for themselves in the new
ly threshed grain fields. Conditions
this spring were good for the young
turkeys to survive.
The raspberry crop of the valley Is
ripening, and picking will start this
week. There will be a largo crop In
all sections of the county.
Canning of cherries will atari to
morrow at the Rogue River Canning
company. The crop this year la light,
the county agent saya.
The corn crop will be about the
same aa last year. In many fields, It
la now knee-high.
Harvesting of fall sown wheat ha
started in many sections of the valley.

Ground observera worried over a
toothache suffered by one of the
flying Keys today and wondered If
It would force a landing of the plane
"Ole Miss" Just three days short of
a world's endurance flying record.
'Al Key, who with his brother, Fred
Key, la seeking to set a new mark,
messaged shortly before midnight
that the pain was so severe that ha
wanted to Jump out of the plane,
even without a parachute.
His plea to tie a rope around a
dentist and lower him Into the Ole
Miss was laughted at yesterday, but
it wasn't taken aa a Joke today. Kny
has lanced his Jaw In an effort to
relieve the pain.
' The Keys went aloft on June 4,
20 days ago, and must remain In the
air until 13 minutes and 30 seconds
past 2:00 p. m., Thursday to set a
new record.
The present record of 563 hours,
