Kansas, declared today in an address ba felt the small industries and small business men were "the forgotten people ot tne new deal" and asserted that some NRA codes appeared to bo written "in the interest ot big bus iness and against tha Interest of the, little business." "If the abrogation of tha anti trust laws for those who have signed the codes," he said, "means that big; business is going to grow stm bigger; that ownership and control, Instead ot being more scattered over the country, is going to be centralised still more then either congress made a terri ble mistake in repealing; the antitrust lawa for that purpose, or some on is making a mistake that amounts to an economic crime in administering the codes.

Capper aaid ha understood plans were practically complete to ex tend some credit, through the RFC and mortgage companies, organized for that purpose, to the small industries of the country. 'But I want; to eay right now," ha added, "that unless the little Industry, the little business man. ia also given protection against big business and monopoly, the exten sion of credit will do him more harm, than good.

Such a program, they fear, would arouse opposition to their renom- ination. it is doubtful if such a program could pass tha assembly at thla time. Hay Divert Gas Honey.

But legislators will also hesitate to oppose the wishes of school patrons. Efforts undoubtedly will be made to divert revenues received from the liquor taxes. It is also possible that some will seek to di vert a share ot the gasoline taxes. much of which has already bees diverted for unemployment relief. Counties and municipalities have already been authorized to divert their share ot tha gasoline taxes tor poor relief.

About tha only part of such taxes which can now ba diverted for purposes would be the one cent per gallon retained by the state. Another alternative would be a state bond issue. This, however, would have to be ratified by tha voters at a general election. If the assembly decided on such a course the state could issue tax anticipation notes to obtain funds tor immediate relief. Explain Rainbow Seen In Sky at Taylorville Taylorville, Feb.

Another explanation advanced by the weather bureau waa that of a solar halo. This, it was aaid, could be seen in an apparently cloudless sky and was caused by the sun shining through small ice particles high in the sky.
