Several more or less regional issues may form such 'as the processing tax In New Eng- JsjHl ana inflation in the west smd south. Indeed, the question of currency inflation may be paramount one. But thnt is not clear yet. However, a third question is slow- floating to the top.

The "Sailing of NBA put an end to the oodes. But now an effort is being to revive these codes through the Federal Trade Commission. This 'fe not new.

Many such codes were under President Coolidge. TVhat Is new is that a Democratic should be trying to do the same thing. As a result we see many old codes banging on. Or at least we see evi- 'Cences of the code agreements. The code is dead.

But oil prices continue to rise and oil production continues to be controlled. The steel code is supposed to be dead, but. the steel Industry is still jjperating under the price structure set up by that code. It is talking about continuance of the Pittsburgh plus or basing point system of phantom freight revived by the code. The clothins men hove finished their new code and declare it is a mode.

Scores of industries are preparing- new cede? or. in reality, adapting the old codes to the new set-up. Another group af activities centers about the principle of the Guf- iey bill.

The dead: Andy Dixon of Monroe, pilot. Herbert Buckley, Dallas, co-pilot. J. W. Thompson, Atlanta, passen- £er.

P. A. Ivy, Birmingham, pas- The bodies, burned beyond recognition, were pulled from the ship by Guy Wheldon and Herbert Mc- Wlwrtcr. farmers who heard the plane circle over McWhorter's cotton field shortly before the smashup. Weldon said he heard the roar of the motor and looked up to see the plane drop several fiares.

It circled over the level cotton patch as if to land, and then crashed at about a 20-dcgrpp angle with a laud explosion. Weldon and McWhorter raced to the scene, but were unable to approach the blazing ship. The two farmers attempted to kill the fire with sand, but were forced to wait until the flames had subsided sufficiently to allow them to pull the charred bodies from the wreckage. Some mail from the passengor- mail plane, which left Dallas last night for Atlanta, was retrieved before being burned, but much of the cargo was lost. The cause of the accident was not learned immediately.

Officials of the airline: Charles A. Rowe, superintendent of the United States department of commerce in Dallas, and Alva Sole, superintendent of air mails at Port Worth, went to the scene to investigate.

Commissioner O'Connell cited the provisions ol the Barnes law and advised Mr. Evans to -work ior a change In the law as a way for relief.

Commissioner Reece Richards said that the county levy would be about the same as last year if it were not for the Barnes levy. To the suggestion that the county commissioners should revolt against making a levy of $1,200 for every high school teacher, Commissioner O'Connell replied, "We have quite a little excitement'around the courthouse now." It was also pointed out that Emporia schools got the lion's share of the Barnes fund. It is distributed on the basis of average daily enrollment in high school rather than the number of teachers in each high school in the county. When the county commissioners neglected to levy the full amount possible for the Barnes school last year, the Emporia city schools are said to have run $19,000 short in the general fund. Deadline Is August 25.

The county commissioners had reported no action on approving or modifying the proposed budget late today. They are required to certify the adopted budget to the county clerk by August 25. The proposed new levy of 6.54 mills, which is 1 mill higher than last year, may have to be- increased if the Barnes levy of $91,400 should stand.
