"All the expense was borno and the work done almost entirely by members of the Itepubllcan Central Campaign Committee without nhy -assistance from the Administration whatever."

Points to Kendrlck's Record "It must be remembered that all previous tax collectors allowed long lines of taxpajcrs, both men nnd women, to stand for hours waiting tor an opportunity to pay tuxes during the busy season. Somo times these lines Would be a square long. This has not happened since Mr. Kendrlck took office.

LA FOLLETTE JOINS OHIOAN IN ATTACK ON RELIEF PLAN Ry tho Associated Press Washington; Aug. 10. Opposition to the Administration bill for funding about $500,000,000 for the rallronds developed openly today before the Sen ate Interstate Commerce Committee. Senator Ln Follette, Republican, Wisconsin, opened fire on the bill, while Democratic Senators characterized the proposal' as a loan to the rallronds. Sen ator Pomcrcne, of Ohio, referred to It n.s n "handout." Director Meyer, of the War Flnnnco Corporation, defended the bill vigorously as a measure fer general country-wide ns well bb railroad rehabilitation, and denied that It was a loan or n hand out. Senator La Follette Inquired deeply into the origin of the legislation. .Mr. Meyer snld he personally conceived tho plan, without suggestion from anybody. Ills plan, he said, was approved by President Harding, Secretary Mellon and Secretary Hoover. Mr. Meyer said he had not attended any conference of bankers with the President and did nor know that the legislation had been discussed at such a conference. "Did you know thnt Mr. Hoover was going to New York to confer with rnii way executives nbout it?" persisted .Senator La Follette. Mr. Mcjer dis claimed such knowledge. Senntor Ln Follette referred to loans by tile War Finance Corporation to the UrooUIyn Rnpid Transit Company nnd a New Orleans street railway company which lie said soon nfterward became bankrupt. The Senator said he did that to Indicate "how business was transacted. " Director Meyer replied that he re garded the 11. It. T. loan as "eventu ally good" and said the New Orleans loan had been' paid In full. Senator Ln Follette sought to show that the bill really would authorize the War Finance Corporation to fund, or sell more than .51.000,000,000 of rail road securities instead of onlv $."00. 000.000. Mr. Meyer declared that funding of the latter amount onlv wns contemplated or could be reasonnblv accomplished.
