EAU CLAIRE, WISCONSIN. THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 22, 1933. THE EAU CLAIRE LEADER. QUOTES PRESIDENT ON "TEAM WORK" Congressman DiscussesLegislation Passed at Session (From James A. Frear, M.

WASHINGTON, D. June "Before adjournment, I want to convey to the members of the House of Representatives an expression of my thanks for making possible a more sincere and whole hearted cooperation between the legislative and the executive branches of the United States government than has been witnessed by the American people in many a long year. This spirit of teamwork has in most cases transcended party lines." I have quoted from a presidential message to Congress. Never before has a president given expression to such generous appreciation of cooperation in seeking to meet the business emergency and in this act as in others President Roosevelt recognizes a whole heartedness in Congress that made possible a great relief program. Lower Interest Rate.

With others, I believe a real reduction in interest rates should have been extended to distressed farmers as well as to other interests specifically aided but in the effort to get cost of farm production by currency inflation and reduction of acreage by processing taxes, a forward step was taken for agriculture. Alleged frauds in veterans relief warranted investigation of questionable cases. Gross injustice by wholeand refusal to relieve portage cases, however, works cruel distress in many cases that were laid before every member. That course was opposed in an effort to prevent throwing back on localities needed aid heretofore extended by the government to veterans and their dependents. Responsibility is with those who refused to modify the cuts.

Threatened cancellation or drastic modification foreign war debts were disturbing in closing days of the session. Although Congress alone has power to act, European debtors claim they have assurances of debt cuts that will place heavy tax burdens on our own people if we assume payment of Liberty bonds, which were to be cared for by tions to whom the money was loaned during the war and on that con- dition. New Laws Passed Among laws passed on the president's program were the industrial recovery, public works, farm relief, economy, money and banking railroads, conservation camps, Muscle Shoals, expansion of currency and other bills discussed briefly in these letters. Some of these laws were questioned in congress, some were amended and other bills discussed briefly in these letters. Some of these laws were questioned in congress, some were amended and others are of uncertain effect but congress supported efforts of the Ident meet the emergency.

Civil service laws, set aside by political patronage and numerous jobs are both an asset and a liability but responsibility asked for supported by heavy majorities in both house and senate has been granted in the hope it will bring back normalcy. As an optimist and believer in the certain swinging back of posterity pendulum, these laws may give the needed stimulus. Everybody hopes that will be their effect. Frear on Committee The house directed the ways and means committee to prepare a tax bill for congress next session and that committee of 25 members by resolution appointed a sub-committee of seven to conduct hearings and prepare a tax program that will prevent Morgan, Mitchell and like income tax scandals. Immediately following committee action, Chairman Doughton asked the writer to be one of this sub-committee which will conduct hearings and prepare a tentative tax bill for consideration by congress prior to next session.

The appointment and prospective work involves responsibility of equally general scope to chairmanship of the investigation of aircraft war waste at the instance of the house several years ago. It is an unsought duty to be threshed out with government tax experts and others in an effort to provide better tax laws. The service will require attendance in Washington for study and work on behalf of the only committee that has al jurisdiction of federal revenues relating to taxes. Editor Keating of the great" publication "Labor" in a letter says "I appreciate your broadcast of the sales tax. You have given it the right name 'sweat More power to you." Similar comments from others give approval of tax work.

Political Baseball On Saturday prior to, adjournment the house was in session thirteen and a half hours The Republican baseball team against the Democratic played that day before 7,000 people for charity. Roll calls were arranged to permit players so engaged to be recorded and although I was kept at the capitol throughout the session, it was learned that the Republican team won by a score of 18 to 16 with three baseball veterans, Peavy, Withrow, and Blanchard on the Republican team. Wisconsin thus furnished one third of the team that won a large silver cup or vase over two feet in height, presented by Clark Griffith, manager of the Washington "Senators team "Gene Tunney, world champion heavy weight served as umpire, None of his decisions were questioned by either side. On that same Saturday the Philadelphia "Athleties" defeated the "Yankees" last year's champions in a double header. The following day on the same Washington ball grounds the "Senators" defeated the "Athletes." The American Game Tears ago, like the average boy, Chippewa Falls Dept.

Phone Chippewa 610. County's Financial Condition Held Good CHIPPEWA FALLS -District Attorney Robert Wiley Wednesday declared that Chippewa county is in excellent financial condition and expressed the opinion that unless the state imposed new burdens on the taxpayers, the county board in November would be able to make a further reduction in property taxes. Mr. Wiley went into considerable detail about county finances, plaining how they were collected and how spent. He said state, auditors now making a check on county books told him this county was in better financial condition than most.

The new burden he had particularly in mind was the imposition of the proposed old age pension law. This law becomes effective this July and would mean from $60,000 to $70,000 additional taxes in Chippewa county, he said. The law is now mandatory. There has been talk at Madiof making old age pensions optional with counties but far as he knows, Mr. Wiley said, this change has not been made Kiwanians will hold a joint meeting with Eau Claire Kiwanians at the Hotel Northern here next Monday evening with dinner about 7 o'clock.

Obituary JOHN FLAHERY John Flaherty, 67 years old, who for 40 years operated a farm in the town of Anson, near Jim Falls, died at the hospital here Wednesday after a brief illness. He is survived by his wife and one daughter, Mrs. Eugene Plante of this city.

He lives in Fairfield County, Connecticut, and a house that was in 1789.

Behind it is a broad expanse of lawn, curving and rising a natural amphitheater. SokoMiff tried the accoustics and found them good. He named the spot Music Hill, went about discussing his concert idea with the artists and writers and musicians who populatethe region, found them receptive. He adso consulted the few remaining natives, people of old families which have been scratching a living from the rocky soil since Colonial days. Most of them thought as did Old Man Andrews, an octogenarian who, incidentally, still does his haying with a team of oxen and a twowheeled cart.

Andrews figured the music would not bother him much; he always goes to bed with the chickens anyway, and is a powerful sound sleeper. Entered U. S. at 13 The conductor himself knows more of such independent enterprises than any other musician. Sokoloff had nothing but a violin when he came to this country from Russia at the age of 13.

At 14 he had won a scholership in the Yale School of Music; at 17 he was among the Boston Symphony's first violins. He was leading the San Philharmonic when the World War came, then he went to France. In 1918 he began to build up, from nothing, the Cleveland Orchestra, and remained its conductor for 15 years, during which time he has appeared on tours or as a guest leader 158 cities. He now is conductor of the New York orchestra, made up of highranking musicians who, unemployed banded together and invited Soko- the writer played on the Lawrence university team, and later the Army helped organize the Departmental league still running in Washington. These experiences and others gave some understanding of the great American game but were not comparable to a well remembered game played on the grounds north of the old St.

Fitzgerald the umpire was knocked down by a Buckeye who resented his decision and it was then a free for all with eighteen lusty boys using fists for bats where they would do most good. hat was long ago, but the great American game still goes on in every hamlet in the land.

It will be a welcome rest after a strenuous session but I will be glad to meet constituents back in the district wherever possible to A. F.
