Inflation appeared to have a majority of house and senate. The legislators were ready for a fight, and wished they were in session. Senator Thomas, a leader of the inflation bloc, met Wallace's challenge today with a demand for a 40 cent dollar. "Some of us last 60 cents dollar winter thought Pay $25 In Addition to 60 Day Term Warren Templeton, taxicab driver was fined $25 and the costs, sen- allowance has been 7.1 per cent tenced tc sixty days in jail and his Based was revoked by trick," Press. enough.

The inflation fight will continue. You may depend on'that." Congressional inflationists feel that the President's "honest dollar" policy has not been carried out sufficiently.

Thomas declared that in his belief President Roosevelt hasn't "done all he has dared do" toward inflation without adopting th.e radical proposals of the congresV bloc. On May 7, the President said "the administration has the definite objective of raising commodity prices i an "extent that those who borrowed money "will, the average, be able to repay that money in the same kind of dollar which they borrowed." Challenge to Democrats Up to now, Thomas asserted, all that has been done in that direction is to start open marketm-j purchases of government bonds, press for credit expansion and push reopening of banks. The gist of Wallace's pronouncement that inflation has gone far enough for the time being and that the country inust find its immediate salvation in increased payrolls and decreased favm production was a direct challenge to aroused majorities in both houses. The speech, nevertheless, was considered by capital observers as second in importance only to President Roosevelt's inaugural address in which he outlined the broad scope of his recovery plans. Wallace promised higher agricultural prices in a few months, specifically in January, and said they might be achieved in a few weeks.

That program scarcely meets the demands of such party leaders as Chairman Harrison of the senate finance committee who publicly stated after a conference with Mr. that the administration inflate while crops still are i hands of producers or accept mandatory inflation by congress next winter. Market reaction to the Wallace speech infuriated congressional in- flationists. For whatever cause, commodity and stock markets sagged after the secretary spoke in Chicago. Cotton went off $2 a bale at the moment a disgruntled cotton conference was adjourning here without having obtained administration acceptance of its inflation proposals.

Greenbackers on Edge Close observers of the money dis- pute believed the issue had shifted from mere inflation, which already has been sanctioned by the administration to the extent that the dollar today is worth but 60 cents in foreign markets. The argument now is over the quantity of money as well as the value of the dollar. The quantitative money theory embrac- 1 es the so-called greenbacks. Some congressional inflationists who refuse To discuss greenbacks for publication, agree privately that the printing press money is what thev now are after. A $3,000,000,000 greenback issue, with provision for Hjgrtization, was included in the Kwslled Thomas inflation plan approved by congress last session.

The woman whose name was not ascertained called the police after Templeton had brought his car to a stop against a light posf after a zigzag course which took him from street to sidewalk and back again. The machine was damaged but the passenger escaped injury. Templeton'was the first taxi driver to the-teeth place'd iri the law to regulate taxi drivers' and require them to obtain licenses to drive.

Judge Leslie indicated taxi drivers driving a cab while drunk might expect drastic penalties in addition to the revocation of their licenses to drive.

The company was ordered to file a.

new schedule of rates with the commission by October 12, which will make the reduction, to become effective November 1. Fixes "Fair Value" The commission fixed the tentative "fair value" of the company which may be increased or decreased, pending a final decision at $39,062,000 on which the company will be permitted to earn 6.5 per cent. This is a reduction of $11 790,00 in the rate base. The majority opinion, ordering the reduction, was written by John C. Collet, chairman, was concurred in by Commissioners J.

Fred Hull and W. N. Anderson. Commissioners William Stoecker and George English dissented. "It apparently is the contention of the city that the return of the utility should have been reduced to the same extent as the decline in the cost of living," Collet said in his opinion.

"The company has furnished no evidence on this point," the majority opinion continues. "We deem it proper to point out however, that utility rates are not subject to all of the many chaining influences that govern the prices of other commodities, and are not forced up or down by speculation surpluses or shortages, or by other causes which may have no relation to the actual cost or value of serv- Federal Job Ends Legislative Term Acceptance of a federal appointment automatically disqualifies a state representative from continuing to represent his county in the state legislature, the Attorney General's department ruled today.

The opinion, by Assistant Attorney General O. W. Nolen, held that Fordyce could accept the appointment, but that in doing so tie would automatically vacate his office as state representative.

Anti-American sentiment was expressed in a demonstration by a small group of Cubans who assembled before the home of James Ward Stickney. The demonstrators! shouted "Down with the Amcr-i leans!" but left peacefully after a short time. Prisoners brought in from cam- aguey province, where Captain Juan Bias Hernandez is leading a revolt against the Grau government, reported that the insurgents totaled 2,000 men. Previous reports have said that there were qjily a few hundred in the field with Captain Bias. Tension High WASHINGTON, Sept.

"And in periods of low prices utility rates cannot be expected to keep pace with the general price level, unless in periods of inflation they are permitted to rise correspondingly with general prices" The Majority Opinion The majority opinion pointed out that its findings "May very well be subject to modification either upward or downward upon the complete investigation of all facts which we are now making." "The rate base (excluding capital and going value, for which separate allowances were made) so found by the majority, is reduced by 4.Q per cent upon the ground that 4.9 pel- cent of the capacity of the entire gas property will not be used and useful in the public service during the year ended May 31, 1934, English said in his dissenting opinion, which was concurred in by Stoecker "This reduction," English said, "is based upon a comparison of the estimated sales (in therms) during the year ended May 31, 1934, with the actual sales (in therms) during the year 1929, which was the peak year in sates in the history of the company." This departure from former principles of regulation applied by the commission, English said, "docs not Mrs. Linnie Odell, of Eldon, is at assume that any of the property in Mary's hospital for treatment rate base is wholly unused but an ha of the pl operty is in its former capacity." "It is not upon this ground that we cannot agree with the reasoning cf our colleagues," English said. "It is because we do not believe that the record in this case justified the application of such a principle. The fluctuation in demand is readily accounted for by the existence an economic depression. It is to us, that this decrease in consumption is anything but temporary." In concluding his dissenting opinion, English said application of the principle applied by the majority opinion would "Encourage equally oorps unwarranted applications for in- this state-related the story of the i creased rates by "the utilities when work being done by the young re- i present depression is over, which emits of that.

U.S. 15 GENTS II FOR DIXIEJGTTON Cfll WASHINGTON, Sept. 21-- (AP) -A special committee from the cotton belt states urged President Roosevelt today to order government purchase of half of the present cotton crop at 15 cents a pound as a means of raising prices and controlling production. The committee, headed by Senator Bankhead, (D-AIa), informed the President the recent southern states cotton convention favored inflation of the currency, but this point was not pressed or discussed at the White House. Asked if inflation had been dropped, Senator Bankhead said "no" and explained the committee was sent to the White House only on tlie cotton plan.

Some of the group indicated the President gave the impression he was doing all he could to push expansion of credit and that he was holding off meantime on currency inflation.

BULLETIN! OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 21 (AP)-- in a statement presented by the prosecution this afternoon in the Urschel kidnap- ing trial, Mrs. R. G. Shannon, one of the defendants, was quoted as telling officers that Harvey Bailey, another defendant, was at the Shannon farm near Paradies, while the wealthy oil man was held there.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. first direct admission cnat Geoigc (Machine Gun) Kelly and Albeit Bates had brought the kidnaped Charles P. Urschel to the R. G. Shannon farm in Texas cami- 111 the federal court trial here today when District Attorney Herbert Hyde read to trie jury a statement, to that effect signed by Shannon's son, Armon.

"Kelly and Bates brought a man to my house and we kept him there several days," read the statement Kelly had a machine gun." "The man had his eyes taped. Kelly handcuffed him and later chained him to my baby's high chair." Young Shannon, who is 22 sniS that a few days before Urschel was brought to the farm shack Kelly and Bates told him he some by just keeping his, mouth shut and doing as they told I me." "I told them I didn't want to get into trouble, and they told me they'd look out for me," the statement said. Kelly isi the absent machine gunner who has written a letter to Urschel threatening malignant reprisals telling the story of tlv abduction. Bates is on trial with Shannon, his wife Ora, and his son in the conspiracy case. Federal Men Testify The statement was introduced as the government continued presentation of evidence by the federal officers who "made the case." E.

J. Dowd, department of justice agent, testified Armon Shannon's wife told him a man had been held at the farm. The agent was among the group of officers which raided the farm and arrested the Shannons and Harvey J. Bailey, notorious outlaw and alleged "brains" of the kidnap- ing plot. Dowd said $1,200 was taken from Bailey's pockets and part of the money was identified as that paid for ransom.

Dowd testified he obtained Armon Shannon's signed statement. Similar signed accounts of the happenings at the farm as told by the elder Shannon and by his wife were submitted. A point for the defense was scored in the statement signed by the elder Shannon, who said Kelly had threatened to kill him unless he aided in holding Urschel prisoner. The Shannon defense is based almost wholly on the contention of coercion. The elder Shannon's statement explained that Kathryn Thome Kelly was his step-daughter by marriage, and that she and George Kelly lived "in the north somewhere." The statement related that Shannon had seen "Kelly and Bates drive in" to a garage on his farm on Sunday, July 24.

The next day, about dusk, he said he saw them take a blindfolded man from his house to a roadster in front. "Bates told me I had to help guard Urschel," Hyde read from the statement, "it was the first time I knew who he was." Link Bailey to K. C. Killing. OKLAHOMA CITY, T.

Jones, agent in charge of the Bureau of Investigation for the San Antonio district, called as a witness in the Urschel kidnaping trial here today, revealed that Harvey Bailey, one of the defendants, told him the machine gun found by Bailey's said when captured had been used by Kansas City gangsters in the "Ginger" murder of Ferris Antone. "I've only had th 1 gun four days," Jones quoted Bailey as saying. When found by his side it was partly dismantled. The revelation linked Bniiey and the Keliys anew with Kansas City gangsters, as the prosecution has submitted testimony seeking to prove that the gun originally was purchased from Port Worth firearms dealer by Kathryn Thome Kelly, daughter of Mrs. Shannon and wife of the machine gunman, George Kelly.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21--(UP)-Attorney General Cummings today study of finger ACohtinuea on Paglfzl ST. LOUIS, Sept. 21-(AP)-Led by Mrs. Nelle G.

Burger, president of the Missouri W. C. T. prohibitionists, today assailed the report of Gov, Guy B. Park's liquor control and advisory commission which does not provide for local option.

"The report Is not worth the paper it is written on," said Mrs Burger. Dr. Walter Williams, president of (he 'University of Missouri and chairman of the commission, in making public the report here last night, said it was not the work of any one member, but a "Plan to which we all had agreed." While not recommending local option as it was known in pro-prohibition days, the report suggests that no permit to sell whisky or other ardent spirits be issued in counties or cities where the county court or the mayor and city council file a formal protest. Saying that the recommendations would permit the return of the saloon, Mrs. Burger, in Sertalia to attend the annual W.

C. T. U. convention, asserted: "Undoubtedly, the united dry council of Missouri will make a demand to the legislature for local option. The legislature will pay no attention to the recommendations.

It never listens to commissions." The report, which recommends legislation permitting the consumption of hard liquor on the premises of legitimate hotels, cafes, clubs and restaurants established more than year, will be submitted to a special session of the general assembly by Governor Park. Repeal of the state "bone dry" law and enactment of liquor control regulations are contingent upon repeal of the 18lh amendment. "We have conducted hearings and given all parties an opportunity to be heard," Dr. Williams said. "These recommendations are the result of proposals which have been made to us orally and through the submission of many written documents.

We now submit them to the governor for any use which he may see fit to make of them." The commission recommends the separation of the sale of whisky and other ardent spirits from the sale of beer and wine, saying: "Beer containing no more alcohol than 3.2 per cent by weight and naturally (Continued on Page 2 HILEI POST HURT Winnie Mae Needs New Repairs; Flyer Cut in Head QUINCY, Sept.
