The Weather Forecast: Fair tonight nd Sat urday; moderate temperature, temperature. f Highest yesterday , ? Lowest this monilnj 43 Thirtieth Year By PACL MAiXON Copyright, IU35, By Paul Maltoo WASHINGTON, Aug 18 The fast eat backward political flip-flop on record, bar none, -was that of Presi dent Roosevelt's tax leaders Is the senate. One day they were forth 1a Foliette bill to soak every -body and the next they voted lor tfaa opposite scheme, which, would hardly dampen anyone. The charge is being made that Mr. Roosevelt en glnesred the switch. Also that the moms and PWL MAU.ON Ac groans of Senators Borah and Norrls caused the 1 Foliette plan to be dropptd. The suspicions are plausible. There may be something in them. Sut what actually happened was this: A gentleman who happened to ha peeking in the window at tha secret" session of the finance committee no ticed that the La Folletta plan was approved by a suspiciously Informal method. Senators did not vote offi cially as they usually do, but merely raised their hands in approval or dis approval, thus leaving no r5ord of how they voted. f But far more amazing was the fact that the chairman counted nineteen hands voting, whereas the window peekar could plainly see only about a d B5n senators were present and w none of them voted with both hands. The explanation apparently is that Chairman Pet Harrison had proxies for several absent hands in his pock et, and he counted them. The absent ees authorized Mr. Harrison to vote them, but when they read in the newspapers what had been done they began to get cold feet. Especially chilling was the editorial comment. Two or three of them complained ta effect, that, gosh, it was all right to pull a little strategy like that to keep Senator Ij&Follette quiet, but. after all, the 1a Fallette plan was terrible and they would not like to get caught voting for It. even with absent hands. Therefore it was arranged that new deal's faithful friend Senator Barkley who also may have heard the White House) would move a re consideration. Four senators conveni ently absented themselves, permitting 1a FoHett to lose by the narrow margin of 8 to 7. On this occasion the vote was legitimately recorded by names, not hands, snd irretrievably announced. The moral, deer children, is that machine work Is always done by hand (Continued on Page Five) HARRY LYMAN RITES SATURDAY Funeral services for Harry Ster ling Lyman, who died st Talent Wednesdsy sftr sn illness of only a few days, will be held from the Stock -Li twtHer funeral parlors tn Ashland Saturday afternoon at 2:30, it was announced today.
