It would make it a felony to advocate overthrow of government and prescribe oaths of allegiance to be taken by teachers, professors and college students. Gov. Fitzgerald never has lost an opportunity to voice opposition to new tax levies and to Insist that the State can provide Adequate service with present revenues, but has not said definitely whether he would veto an income tax.

Representatives sought Tuesday to justify their action. In face of already mounting criticism, with vague hints of compensating reductions in the sales tax. There is little reason to believe, however, that serious consideration will be given to the exemption of food from the sales exaction. Chairman Vernon J. Brown, of the House Taxation Committee, already has expressed opposition to such relief.

Rep. Philup Rahoi, leader of the "soak Wayne" influence supporting the bill, declared himself again under right of personal privilege Tuesday. "I voted for this bill because I believe 80 per cent of the farmers and working classes will be exempt," he told the House. The Senate move in sending the bill to the judiciary committee so that its constitutional status may be inquired into, is believed preliminary to more serious discussion and perhaps reference to the Taxation Committee. It would surprise no one if the Holbeck Bill is kept in a committee, either Judiciary, Finance and Appropriations or Taxation, until the closing days of the session.

Match 19-The problem facing the United States Tariff Commission in its efforts to negotiate a new trade agreement with Canada was complicated further today when retail mer chants along the northern border demanded even stronger tariff re strictions on American tourists visiting the Dominion. The Reciprocity Information Committee of the Tariff Commission has started to obtain data upon which to draft a treaty. No trade pact has existed between the two countries since 1857.

Canadian purchases of American goods have decreased approximate ly 65 per cent from 1829 to 1933. Charles E. Boyd, secretary of the Detroit Retail Merchants Association, was among the protestants today. His objection was voiced chiefly against the present regulation which permits American tour ists to bring $100 worth of mer chandise free Into the United States when returning from a trip to Canada, Annual Import Boyd informed the committee that goods admitted free from Canada approximated $4,460,000 an nually. He listed figures for 11 ports of entry for 1929 and said that a recent check of them showed that the situation remained unchanged in 1934.

Merchandise ad mitted at Detroit was valued at $485,502. Ogdcnsburg, N. led with imports valued at $1,942,000, with Buffalo reporting $577,000. Boyd said that In addition, free entries declared orally amounted to $2,900,000 at Ogdensburg and $450,000 at Buffalo. "When it is considered that prac tically every automobile returning from Canada has in it some article purchased in Canada, and that the above figures only include declared purchases, it is easy fo understand that the volume of business lost by American merchants and manufacturers is enormous," Boyd said.

They Appreciate It Canadian merchants and manufacturers encourage American tour ists to buy goods, pointing out to them that they may return to the United States with $100 worth of merchandise duty free, Boyd said The Detroiter quoted from a circu lar sent out by the Canadian Mer chants Association, which read "The privilege (of the $100 exemp tion) should be of very great value to every merchant in Canada selling goods of a character to appeal to visitors, and the American Government must certainly be credited with manifesting a degree of neigh-borliness that should be warmly appreciated." In the Senate today, Senator Millard A. Tydings, of Maryland, urged that every effort be put forth to increase foreign trade. He said that this Country has lost its foreign trade with Canada and South America and that recovery is not possible until this trade is revived.

SENATOR TYDINUS Governor Asks Assembly to Act Urges Legislature to Avert Crisis Continued from rage One the people, by a situation as grave as the one we now face.

"The measures In question constitute the backbone of a legislative program that has for its chief object the reorganization of the State Government, on a basis that would bar the imposition of additional taxes and prevent an increase of the public debt. By processes of simplification and centralization it promises, at the same time, to give more efficient public service at much lower cost to the taxpayer. "To date, I do not know of any one in either branch of the Legislature who has quarrelled with these objectives. Not one of us, I dare say, went before the people who elected us last autumn without promising these much-needed benefits in one form or another. "The question now is, shall we abandon the principles underlying this proposed legislation, because of petty differences that are entirely foreign to the issue or shall we stand by them, judging them only in the light of what they mean to the people? Would Keep Faith "Stand by them, we must.

If you do not, you condemn this session of the Legislature to unforget-able failure. Failure to enact constructive legislation at such a time as this Is plainly and clearly a breach of faith with our citizens who placed their trust in you. Failure now would mean that the lonpr hours already devoted to this session would be wasted. A disappointed and discouraged people would have good reason to demand immediate adjournment to prevent further waste of your time and their money. "Every one of you Is gravely concerned in the future of our schools.

Every one of you likewise realizes that our public institutions must be maintained and that the essential departments of our Government must continue to function. "Gentlemen, I submit, we cannot mane appropriations for iirauuLiuns ana departments of the State Government until we have effected the rigid economies that are assured by the reorganization plan set forth in these and other bills. Without these economies, your appropriations will be just so many marks on pieces of paper. You may stipulate sums that are desired or needed, but you have no assurance that the money is forth coming from the State Treasury, I unless you perpetrate what amounts i to an imposition upon the people by 1 saaaiing tnem with new taxes or plunging them deeper into debt.
