almply that he
comes from Kan

Democratic con
gressmen from
Kansas City are
Immune from
the ordinary pol
itical hazards
which affect pub
lic men. As all
well In-formed
PAUL MALLON polltlcos know,
local boss Pendergast Is extremely
Influential In electing public offic
ials In that city. If he likes you. It
Is Immaterial what the Townsendltes
think of you. He likes Mr. Bell.
Thus Mr. Bell will be able to play
a strong David to Dr. Townscnd's
political Goliath. Trembling ' con
gressmen generally are cheering him
on from a safe distance In the back
ground. Elimination of the Town
send Influence would cause them all
to breathe easier.
Note Bell is a capable lawyer, a
former circuit judge and a thorough
ly competent congressman. He will
do a good Job.
The comparable courage of rules
chairman O'Connof In almost taking
on the politically powerful Father
Coughlln has a slightly different ex

tually every congressman, Republican
and Democratic, arose to applaud
O'Connor's official answer to the
politico-churchman. They all stood
by him, although, only a few days
earlier, only four of them voted In
favor of his vetoed claims bill, and
many of them have signed the Fraa-.Jer-Lemke
petition.
One Inside answer to such trans
cending non-partisan loyalty la that
both the house and the senate have
much of the family aplrlt. They have
often been called exclusive clubs,
but they sre more than that. The
legislators will call each other every
thing they can think of, but If any
outsider tries to call any of them
anything, they will rally to the per
sonal defense of the oppressed mem
ber. That Is where Coughlln made his
mistake and hurt the Frazier-Lemke
bill he was sponsoring.
Some of Fatner Couglln's strate
gists sppear to be well pleased by
the result. He has not been getting
his name In the papers much re
cently. Expenses of his promotional
campaigns have increased, while re

TAXESSPEING
Sharp Increase in Number
On WPA Rolls Seen by
Liberals As Argument
Against Relief Fund Slash
(Copyright 1936. by the A&soclated
Press)
WASHINGTON. Feb. 30. (AP) A
hammer-and -tongs fight over taxes
and government spending waa In the
making In congress today despite the
strenuous efforts of campaign-conscious
leaders to keep the session
fairly tranquil and end It quickly.
These two developments threatened
the congressional peace:
1. Sharp Increases In the number
of persons on work relief were re
ported by WPA, which set the cur
rent figures at 3,797,770. This is
nearly 300,000 more than the 3,600,
000 goal originally set for the 94,000.
000,000 relief drive. Powerful "liberal"
senators, fighting any deep slashes
in next year's relief funds, are ex
pected to seize upon the new figures
to back their argument that huge
expenditures must continue.
For Higher Income Tax
2. Senate liberals disclosed they
would demand a broader and higher
Income tax structure. Among them
is Senator La, Follette (Prog., Wis.)

IN APPLEGATE REGION
ASKED By STOCKMEN
Stockmen of the upper Applegate
district and the forest service, have
taken steps to petition the county
court for a general roundup of In
digent horses, ranging wild between
Sterling creek and the Oregon-California
state line, and lying within
the Rogue River national forest. The
stockmen agree to pay the expenses
of the roundup and aak the county
court only for authority to con
duct It.
Stockmen estimate there are be
tween 78 and 100 horses in the ter.
rltory, that are abandoned, neglected,
and etarvlng. They run wild, and do
considerable damage by destroying
grarlng range. raiding alfalfa
patches and eating up the salt Left
by stockmen for their herds. The
wild horsea have a penchant for
trampling and are handy with their
heels In kicking down rail fence
or killing tame stock. They sr able
to protect themselves agalnat man or
predatory beast.
The wild horses have a precarious
time during the winter and the
stockmen claim It would be humane
to dispose of them se well aa abate
a nuisance.
The Little Applegate band la led by
six stallions, described by stockmen
aa the "wildest things on four feet,"
and It Is further declared It will take
a real cowboy to capture one.
