SHANGHAI.—A dispatch telling
of heavy casualties inflicted by the
United States gunboat Oahu on Chi-
nese soldiers who were attacking two
British steamers in the upper Yang-
tze River, was published Tuesday by
the Exchange Telegraph Agency.
The gunfire, the dispatch said, was
for the purpose of protecting
steamers Wanliu and Kiawo.
Wanliu, which had $110,000 in cash
aboard; ran aground forty miles be-
low the town of Chungking, and
when the Kiawo came alongside to
take off the money, cargo and pas-
sengers, a considerable force of Chi-
nese soldiers intervened.
The Exchange Telegraph Agency
said the soldiers were men of the reg-
ular army. Their demands for the
money were refused and gunfire re-
sulted. Thereupon the master of the
Kiawo signaled for assistance.
WASHINGTON.--Pertinent facts
about the new tax law:
Income tax rates, restoring 1’
high 1921 levies, go into effect on
incomes for the 1932 calendar year
with first payments due next March
15.
Excise taxes on articles including
electric power, cosmetics, automo-
biles, and candy are effective June
21.
Here are some of the rates: Auto-
mobiles, three per cent; candy, two;
electrical energy, three per cent on
sales for domestic and commercial
purposes; gasoline, one cent a gallon;
checks two cents each.
First class postage increased
three cents, effective in 30 days.
Tariff levies are imposed on oil,
coal, lumber and copper.
Method of collecting the new
duties will be announced soon by the
Internal Revenue Bureau.
HOUSTON.—The Chronicle says
the Federal Government, particular-
ly the United States marshal’s office,
as paymaster “is in the red.”
In consequence, the paper adds,
Judge T. M. Kennerly at noon today
was holding in abeyance the June
term of Federal Court at Galveston,
pending approval by the Attorney
General at Washington of additional
expense money necessary to operate
the court,
“In addition, the marshal had no
money with which to pay a number
of witnesses. The court bailiffs, like-
wise, were looking for their pay but
thought it would not be forthcoming
before July 15, the beginning of the
fiscal year,” says the newspaper.
“An additional $600 was allotted
the United States attorney’s office in
order that it could carry on the term
of court at Corpus Christi two weeks
ago. But this amount has been spent
and no more additional funds are in
sight before July 15.
“Telegrams were sent to the At-
torney General at Washington, seek-
ing additional expense funds for the
Galveston terms. At noon, however,
the Attorney General’s office had
not replied.
“The United States marshal’s of-
fice said it was without money. How
it would hold out until July 15 was a
matter of conjecture.”

that during the first called session of
the legislature last summer, hun-
dreds of independent oil operators
and citizens appeared to
complaints charging the
panies with forcing the
of the legislature. The school age
was lowered from seven to six years
by legislative enactment three years
ago, effective with the 1930-31
school session. Under the seven-
year minimum age law, a child had
to be seven years old before Sept. 1
to be entitled to free school privi-
leges, and parents of children whose
birthdays came on or after Sept. 1
were compelled to pay tuition for
them, and they received no free
schooling until they were eight years
old. If the legislature raises the
school age to seven years again, it
should make provision for free school
privileges for children who attain
their seventh birthday during the
school year, for it is unjust to pen-
alize parents of children born in
September, October or November in-
stead of in August.

Last yeai’ life insurance companies
in this country paid to beneficiaries
and holders of matured policies, and
in dividends to policyholders, a total
of- $3,050,000,000. At a time when
investments of every other kind had
depreciated alarmingly, legal reserve
life insurance was and still is worth
a hundred cents on the dollar. In
1931, in spite of the depression, some
of the larger life insurance com-
panies issued more new insurance
than any previous year in history, in-
dicating that many people who in
good times believed they could prof-
itably carry thir own insurance, had
at last seen the light.

We may be wrong, but our idea as
to why congress is having so much
difficulty in cutting governmental
expenses in the budget balancing
program is because the congressmen
and senators figure they’ll cut short
their own tenure in office by cutting
government payrolls and otherwise
removing pie from the government
pie-counter. It is true that there are
a lot of folks who benefit from gov-
ernmental extravagance, but there
are still greater numbers who are
giving everything to and receiving
nothing from the government, and
these folks also have votes,
fact the congressmen and :
picker is being exhibited in Chicago, may have overlooked.

A group of Sherman merchants
bought a page of space in a Sherman
newspaper to invite Whitewright
people to “buy it in Sherman,” if they
couldn’t buy it in Whitewright. For
the benefit of these merchants, who
may be disappointed in results from
the advertisement, The Sun informs
them that Whitewright people can
buy it in Whitewright, and most of
them will do so. For their further
edification, somebody ought to tell
these merchants that the way to
reach Whitewright people with ad-
vertising is through The Sun, which
is read by Whitewright people.

A political bee stung Sun editor
Monday and before he recovered
from the “sting” he had filed with
the county Democratic chairman as a
candidate for the Legislature, place
two. He is now a bona fide candidate
for this important office, and will
soon be out in the field seeking
votes. Within the next few days he
will issue a statement to the voters
giving an outline of his views on
important matters now confronting
the people. But we want it understood
in advance that we are not going to
promise to relieve the people of all
their ills nor promise to correct all
defects in state government, if we
are elected. That’s too big a job for
one man. We know that expenses of
state government need to be reduced
in order to reduce taxes, and if
elected, we will do everything in our
power to bring this about. Many
things need to be done to cut ex-
penses, but we will talk about these
later. The coming session of the
Texas Legislature is going to have to
face many big problems. The people
want relief from high taxes. They
want expenses of state government
reduced. We want to have the privi-
lege of helping to do it.

Grayson County has gix candidates

from that bunch—one that will not

comes to trial.—Whitewright Sun.
It does so look, and we hope the
voters will be good pickers this year.
The suspended sentence and chick-
en-hearted jurors are the greatest
menace to the criminal department
of Texas, as we see it. We have al-
ways been against the suspended
sentence law, and always will be.
But at that, after a good prosecuting
attorney and the sheriff and the
court have tracked the law and
made a success of the prosecution of
criminals, it is up to the juries to do
their duty. Too many chicken
thieves and too many wild automobile
drivers are let off with light sen-
tences for the good of the country,
to say nothing of other criminals that
are virtually turned loose on the
country.—Ernest Parker in Sherman

JAMES V. ALLRED ASKS
FOR SECOND TERM AS
ATTORNEY GENERAL
James V. Allred has announced his
candidacy for re-election as Attorney
General of Texas, second term, sub-
mitting his record during the eight-
een months he has been in office as
his platform.
Mr. Allred has issued a
statement in which he reviews the
activities of his department, citing
hundreds of cases he has successful-
ly defended and prosecuted for the
State, including suits against the new
law regulating the size and weight of
vehicles using the highways.
Commenting on anti-trust suits
brought by the State against the ma-
jor oil companies, Mr. Allred says
i

and if it proves to be a success, it
will add to the unemployment prob-
lem of the South. Many thousands
of people depend to a certain extent
upon their earnings in the cotton
field for the necessities of life, and
with mechanical cotton pickers re-
placing them, some of them would go
hungry. The so-called machine age
is largely responsible for the present
state of unemployment throughout
the nation, and any further labor-
saving machinery that may be de-
veloped will serve to make the condi-
tion more acute. During the period
of inflation it was impossible to sup-
ply the demand in practically all lines
by old hand production methods, and
machines were devised to speed up
production. Because there were jobs
for everybody, labor did not object
to the new machines, and capital did
not foresee the effect the machine
age would eventually have on the
country. Now, industry is equipped
with machinery sufficient to supply
twice the normal demand, and hu-
manity is paying the bill with priva-
tion and suffering.

John D. Rockefeller Jr., a life-
long prohibitionist and teetotaler, has
changed his mind about the prohibi-
tion amendment and now wants it
repealed. In announeng his decision,
he said that neither he, his father
nor his grandfather had ever tasted
a drop of intoxicating liquor, and
that he and his father had contrib-
uted $350,000 to the Anti-Saloon
League to support prohibition legis-
lation. Declaring prohibition to be a
failure, he said he found that “drink-
ing generally has increased; the
speakeasy has replaced the saloon,
not only unit for unit, but probably
two-fold if not three-fold; that a
vast army of law-breakers has been
recruited and financed on a colossal
scale; that many of our best citizens,
piqued at what they regarded as an
infringement of their private rights,
have openly and unabashed disre-
garded the eighteenth amendment;
that as an inevitable result respect
for all law has been greatly lessened;
that crime has increased to an un-
precedented degree.” Mr. Rockefel-
ler expressed hope that both major
political parties would adopt repeal
planks and remove the question from
partisan strife. Mr. Rockefeller, like
millions of other good citizens, be-
lieves that intoxicating liquor is harm-
ful, and did everything in his power
to suppress the liquor traffic, but is
now convinced that prohibition will
not prohibit. He may be correct, but
there are still millions of people who
will do everything possible to -pre-
vent the amendment’s repeal.

Raising of the free school
from six to seven years as
register
oil com-
price of
crude oil down to ten cents a barrel
as the result of combinations and
conspiracies.
The legislature, after hearing these
complaints, as well as explanations
by heads of some of the large oil cor-
porations, and upon being requested
to do so, passed a bill appropriating
a special fund for the Attorney Gen-
eral’s department for use in investi-
gating the alleged violation of anti-
trust laws on the part of the oil com-
panies. As a result of this investiga-
tion, the Attorney General filed suit
against certain major oil companies
for penalties which the law says may
be imposed upon them.
“I made my race for Attorney
General upon a platform of rigid en-
forcement of all the laws of this
State, especially the anti-trust laws,”
Mr. Allred said, “and I meant what I
said. The people evidently approved
of that platform for they honored me
with one of the biggest majorities
ever accorded a candidate. Upon my
record, I am asking the people to
honor me with a second term in this
most important office.”
