Chambers, Deni.. Newcis tie, to recall and kill the hill proposing limitation of taxation to $1.50 on the $1(;0 assessed valuation, was anticipated.

Also consideration was due in the house on the hill b\ Earl Rowdey, Rep , Laporte, to place a filing fee of 50 cents for every $100 of n.oitgage.

(Copyright, 1932, United Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 8, (UP)— Congressmen who cairy relatives on the government payroll jire being re-
tired at a rapid rate.
At least 23 have fallen by the wayside thus far. Fifteen were defeated | for nomination by their own parties. Eight saw the hand wiitine on the wall or for other reasons retired without attempting to come hack. Numerous others are due for retirement, as barely half of the -tales have held their congressional notnirt- • ating primtirie-. All survivors mu-t I inn the gauntlets of the voteis in the general elections in Novemla i. The casualty list spread over more than a dozen states. It rein es into [every section, including North DaIsrta, Illinois, Ten lessee, Indiana, Pennsylvania and several otiu i states. Minnesota turned up four c -
unities, Missouii three.
The issue arising from the widespread exist'nec of the family pay roll racket has figured in numerous congressional cont"sts since the house payroll records were thrown open to public inspection a- a result of United Press dispatches last spring reporting the fact that more than 10(1 members if congress were supporting on the government payroll, wives, daughters, ons and in-laws, some of whom never appeared in Washington. One of the hardest fights occurred in Tennessee. Rep ,1. Ridley Mitchell, Item., has just been renominated by a close vote. He introduced a bill in congress last spring to abolish nepotism and to pun i n it by dismissal.
