Worst Tragedy On Canadian
Pacific Lines Since 1906
Men Are Caught Be
tween Tender and Engine
REVEl, STOKE, B. C. March 2.
(AP) Crushed between a run
away tender and a locomotive
derailed by a tmowsllde, at lenst
15 men were killed, one Js miss
In; and rive were Injured near
Downle, 26 miles east of here on
the Canadian Pacific main line
early todav.
The answer to the mystery was
simple if they only knew It. For one
thing, Mr. Roosevelt's open strategy
was to stress the point that these
taxes were none of ( his doing. Con
' grees brought the bonus on Itself
over his veto. The supreme court
brought the processing tax deficit on
them both. He could afford to be
tree with the figures-. -', L "
Not only that, but the secret stra
tegy of Mr. Roosevelt all along has
been to over-estimate his needs and
under -est! mate his revenue. Thus,
he gets wide financial leeway from
congress.
This la an occasion when congress
must vote some taxes. He tried for
as much aa he could expect to get.
It Is a further hint of the new
attitude Inside the White House to
ward readjusting the budget situa
tion.
