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

; brought the body to Mcdford last
night. Mrs. Mclnnis lived alone at
the service station, but there are
several homes in the district.

j found the body. j
