LEGISLATURE IS IN DEADLOCK AT HALF-WAY MARK Politics Ruling All Relief Issues in House and in Senate. BY EDWARD C. H I KE Hopelessly tangled in - mass of issues, many of them foreign to tax relief, the legislature today reached the half-way mark of the special session. After twenty days' debate over problems ranging from Wright law repeal to farm product prices, legislators swung into the home stretch with Mr. Taxpayer gasping in confusion at the sidelines. To date, twelve bills directly affecting taxpayers of the state as a ■whole, have received seriously consideration in both houses. Os these, ten have been passed by the house ■nd two by the senate. Six other bills, indirectly affecting taxes by rearranging budgets and functions of state departments, have be<-n passed in the house. But, political difference of the two houses, one Democratic and the oi her Republican, may prevent any of the relief bills from becoming laws. Strife Forms Barrier Democratic strife in the house of representatives already has formed a barrier which may block passage of major relief bills, including income tax bilLs which, oddly enough, would raise taxes. Because all tax relief measures originate in the house, it appears that all bills must stand a political test before passing to the Republican senate, where death almost is certain. Probably the leading issue of the tax relief session is the bone-dry law repealer passed Monday by the house. It is classed as a tax relief measure because it would eliminate enforcement costs and would replenish state coffers by taxing medicinal whisky. Next in importance in special session business are bills pertaining to operating costs and personnel of state departments. Aside from abolishment of a few minor levies, It appears to date that none of the departments have been hampered seriously by loss of funds. Given More Funds Tn one instance, the state police department, threatened at first with abolishment, was given more funds and authority to hire 100 more persons. * Another issue which passed favorably in the house but appears certain of defeat in the senate, is the intangibles tax bill which would assess concealed property at 25 per cent of its cash value. It would draw millions on to tax duplicates and reduce tax levies, 'accordingly, its sponsors argue. Two senate tax relief bills, one placing a $1.50 maximum levy on property and another slashing budgets to two-thirds of the 1928 figure, are certain to be killed in the house. Probably the most significant measure passed in the house for relief of cities and towns is the gas tax and license fee redistribution bill, reducing the state's share in the $24,000,000 fund 25 per cent and increasing shares of cities. Passage of tliis bill was accompanied by bitter debate between representatives from rural district and population centers. Suspend State Levies Persons unable to pay taxes would be relieved by the Weiss delinquent tax' moratorium bill providing for payment in installments delinquent of taxes in 1929, 1930 and 1931, which was passed in the house and now awaits senate action. Among state levies which may be suspended by the assembly are the War Memorial 4 mills levy and the 2 cents educational improvement fund levy. These measures would save thousands of dollars annually. Five bills reducing salaries in individual counties have passed the house. If made laws, the measures will reduce levies only in the particular counties. Both houses, however. hesitate to deal further with problems of individual localities. Other minor levies abolished in the house include the mandatory county fair association levies and the mandatory cemetery road building law. Neither measure, if enacted, appreciably would reduce taxes. , Three Bills on Utilities The house has before it three bills dealing with public utilities. These, regulating rate-making and giving cities right to ownership, appear likely to receive favorable action, at least, in the house. Os the total of 330 bills introduced in both houses. 215 in the .lower house and 115 in the senate, nearly seventy-five have been acted on or face tests soon. Committees of both houses are struggling to "weed out" bills of lesser importance. In the house, four bills with political complications have been postponed indefinitely, four have been killed outright in committee, five have been withdrawn and two have failed to pass. The latter two are the blanket $1 poll tax on all persons between 21 and 50, and the Evans-Stein measure prohibiting sale of property for delinquent taxes.

T. R.’S’ MEMORY LIVES ON Thousands Think Hes A gain Candidate

BY HELEN WELSHIMER NI'.A Service Writer OYSTER BAY, L. 1., July 20 Across a comfortable, sprawling house there falls a shadow. It is the shadow of a man, dead these thirteen years, yet so great a man that thousands believe he still lives, because he lives with such vividness in their hearts. In this quiet house lives a woman, widow of the dead, yet living, man. She will be 71 years old Aug. 6. She is Edith Carow Roosevelt, and Theodore Roosevelt is her husband that was. Kirs. Roosevelt has received more than 800 messages from people in all parts of the country who believe that Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democratic nominee for the Presidency, and Theodore Roosevelt, one-time Republican leader, are the same. Thus powerfully does the shadow of a man persevere. And here at Oyster Bay, once the summer White House, the shadow is almost visible. Here, a few years ago, a whole nation would have sent gifts or greetings up the woodland drive, to the President's wife. Now there are just her children, grandchildren and intimate friends to help celebrate, although messages come from clear around the world. * * a DOWN in the village, the people still look up the winding road that leads to Sagamore Hill, as her home is called, and when t hey mention Mrs. Roosevelt, there is a note of awe, almost reverence, in their voices. It has been thirteen years since her husband died, but she still Is the “Colonels Lady” to Oyster Bay.

Sagamore Hill Since the death of the late President, Mrs. Roosevelt has lived quietly when at home, although she has traveled extensively. Her days follow a simple schedule. She keeps her hand on the household management of her home, plans for guests, and gives orders, every morning. Then she goes for a long walk over her estate. Rolling green lawns and meadows sweep away from the wide, spacious house, down to a forest that acts as a border for the estate. The first floor of the house itself is fashioned of red brick, the second from white wood, and the shutters are white. Entertaining guests takes much of Mrs. Roosevelt’s time. The house usually is filled. A large percentage of them are children, for her grandchildren spend much of their time there. She tells them stories and orders their favorite puddings and cakes just as any grandmother might do. At night she takes another walk. She has spent much time traveling in South America, Central

Her interests center in the American Legion work at Oyster Bay, the Christ Episcopal church at the edge of the village, and the National Needlework guild. Mrs, Roosevelt doesn’t want to be recognized when she travels. She put on deep mourning when her husband died and has never taken it off. She always is veiled when in public. Maybe that is why there Is a touch of reverence in the villagers’ tones when they mention her. U * tt “T USED to always mend her A shoes, before I gave up my cobbler shop,” one old man tells any one who is interested. ‘‘She wears black walking shoes, with Cuban heels.

her chauffeur gets the mail,” others will tell you. “She smiles and speaks to all of us. She’s a real lady!” Even the brakemen on the Long Island trains know her, and watch for her occasional trips to New York. “She always knits the whole way into the city,” they say. “She is quiet and friendly and every one likes her, but of course she is the widow of a President!” Mrs. Roosevelt was Edith Hermit Carow before her marriage. She had known Theodore Roosevelt when they were children. When he married another girl, he wrote to her in London, where she then lived, and told her.

'BANKS IN RUSH TO ‘GET IN ON' NEW CURRENCY Applications From Every Part of Nation Seeking R. F. C. Loans. By United Press WASHINGTON, July. 26.—National banks, states and cities jointed today in a ‘ gold rush” for n?w j currency and loans from the governj ment. National Banks in every’ section deluged the treasury with inquiries and informal applications for authority to issue new currency under the $1,000,000,00 expansion provision of the home loan act. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation received countless requests for loans from the $2,122,000,000 unemployment relief fund. Gardner Cowles, a director of the corporation, informed President Hoover that half the states were j seeking advances, adding that Illinois would be one of the first to receive aid. Treasury Raises Funds The treasury found not the slightest difficulty in raising funds to give the corporation a start on its new work. An offering of $60,000,000 in treasury notes put on sale Monday morning was over-subscribed before night. About $400,000,000 of the proceeds will be placed at the disposal of the Reconstruction corporation. t Applications for new currency came from powerful national banks j in industrial sections small instituj tions in the far west, and great banks in the national capital. The treasury declined to make public the exact amount of new j currency requested. But it was learned that approximately $4,000,000 will go to Washington <D. C.) banks alone. These orders were understood to be in the process of completion. Reduce Debts Volume Under terms of the law, any national bank may deposit eligible government bonds with the United States treasurer who will issue an equal amount of currency to the banks. The banks will continue to collect the interest on the bonds. The eligible bonds bear interest up to 3% per cent annually, representing a substantial net profit for the banks concerned. Some treasury officials hold that the new currency will not result in actual expansion of the volume of money in circulation. They believe the new money will be used largely to pay off national bank debts to the Federal Reserve banks. By reducing the volume of debts, an additional amoimt of working capital will be made available, leading to a possible expansion of commercial loans and helping break the credit jam. GROCERS MAP DRIVE Outline Campaign to Boost Patronage of Independent Stores. Campaign to encourage patronage of independent groceries was outlined by Indianapolis Retail Meat and Grocers’ Association Monday night. A special meeting of grocers is to be called by Fred Steinbarger, presi- i dent, to make further plans for the campaign which will start Aug, 15. Attempts to End Own Life Despondency over domestic troubles is said to have caused an at- j tempt at suicide Monday by Ralph Hill, 32, of 1425 English avenue, who swallowed poison. He was treated at city hospital.
