The city commissioners knew months ago that a night schedule was contemplated by the Northwest Airways. They knew that it could not be put into effect until our airport was properly equipped. If Bismarck was to keep her place in the air transportation picture we should have to make this improvement. So the commission went ahead and did the job. It expects to pay the cost with little, if any, additional taxation. A saving in the gen- eral budget was imperative if this aim were to be realized. One saving possible was to combine the offices of fire chief and police captain. Under e4aeme Or Useree of $100 a month and an allowance of $10 for the use of his automobile. The police captain received $138 a month and $10 for his car, the cost of the two jobs being $258 a month. Under the new system the salary for the combined offices is $170 a month. The saving per month is $88, which will just about take care of the increased operating cost of the air- port. The idea is one which deserves commenda- tion. If the city can find other opportunities to apply it the taxpayer may have cause to ‘cheer. In that direction lies the goal of real tivic economy. An Important Development ‘Not the least important thing which has happened fm Bismarek recently is the addition to our park system, Ghrough by @ group of local citizens, of the old gountry club property.

Hugh 8. Johnson went before the Senate finance committee to urge congress not to toss NRA down the drain-pipe. Everybody, including the general himself, was sur- prised and disappointed at that. But the explanation is simple: Even at the end of their investigation, senators were too ignorant or too Poorly grounded as to the NRA and its operation to give the general a battle. Earlier in the hearings some of the NRA’s enemies on the committee had launched attacks which clearly demonstrated their ignorance and the NRA boys had brought in facts or facts which made them feel silly. They were thoroughly cowed by the time Johnson took the stand. Later he asked Senator Bennett Clark: alee didn't you question me and give me @ good pan- 6?” Johnson's 30,000-word statement had been worked out with the NRA legal and research and planning sec- tions, which supplied facts, charts, and exhibits for him on Provided @ rosy picture, with numerous admissions of error. eee SIGNALS GET CROSSED There are those who accuse the general of fuzsy- mindedness and this impression was not entirely moved. He explained that when he had said “NRA is as dead as the dodo,” he had meant the NRA adminis- tration. But at the time he made the remark, the chairman of the NRA board was 8. Clay Williams, whom me describes as “the best man who ever came to He admitted that during his work on the statement. with NRA officials he had found the NRA board had done a much better job than he supposed. But he still cannot imagine a successful NRA operated by a board. His ideal of an NRA is one with Johnson again in one-man command—and Donald Richberg back practic- ing law in Chicago, see EYES ON SENATE BERTH Johnson, according to certain Oklahomans, would like to run for the senate next year to replace Tom Gore. But he won't announce for the Democratic nomina- tion unless he is convinced he has a good chance to win. Thus far he isn’t very hopeful, Gore is a member of the finance committee. He had asked many questions about NRA which were nasty and cock-eyed at the same time. But he made no effort to take the general over the jumps, NOW LISTEN TO WALLACE ‘Today you find Wallace with consumers to stand on “common ground” with farmers. Instead of asking cynically, “Who is the consumer?” and insisting as he once did that the “middleman’s spread” is an in- consequential factor, he is saying: “The farmer and the consumer have common in- terests which far outweigh any temporary diversity of objectives, Each has to protect the other to protect him- self... . One-third of the consumer's dollar is spent for food. But only about 13 per cent of the consumer's cost of living goes to the farmer. The joint interest of farm- ers and consumers is to see that the share of the cost which they pay to processors and distributors is reason- |#nd able. ... The exploiters .. . are making desperate efforts to prejudice farmers against consumers, and consumers against farmers, so as to destroy their new-found sense of unity...” It is easy to imagine Mr. Howe, and Mr. Frank yawning in unison: eee THIS IS GRATITUDE The Roosevelt program is jammed largely because a of congress members who were elected on Roosevelt Platforms last November—often by bare majorities—are now kicking the platform over. ‘There are many instances, but for example one may cite the case of Congressman Samuel B. Pettengill, who sits on the house interstate commerce committee, now considering the Rayburn holding company bill—one of the few measures Roosevelt has personally urged on con- begun to take the lead in the fight against the bill in committee, cooperating with Repub- can members such as Cooper of Ohio and Wolverton of Michigan. It was Pettengill who, after Wendell Willkie of In- diana—and of the Commonwealth & Southern Corpora- tion—came here to lead the fight against the bill, offered & substitute which would have killed the administration measure. Other Democratic members of the committee are especially sore because Pettengill’s last-election majority | him was so slim as to be obviously attributable to the admin- istration’s popularity at that time.

It was a major setback for the administration. Promises. Some one said to a brainy but verbose demagogue who was applauded by crowds that he was making prom- ises that he could not keep. He replied, “What I said were not really promises. They were expressions of hope and that is how people take them.” There is something in that, although it is illogical. A publicist should know his ground and weigh his words. But if he did, his crowd would leave him. Free to Be Foolish .|such New Deal opponents as Huey a eo ere LITICS + at the - NATION'S CAPITOL By HERBERT PLUMMER Wi i—Some administration leaders are frankly skeptical of the wisdom of employing such tactics as those being used by Secretary Ickes Harry Hopkins, FERA adminis- trator, in withholding relief funds from certain states. ‘They are afraid “cracking down” on Long of Louisiana and Governor ‘Talmadge of Georgia may in the end cause more harm than good.

Ickes’ contention is that the “kingfish” wants to use the federal work-relief funds to strengthen hig own political domination of Louisi- ana. Aside from the merits of the argu- ment, the danger, in the ppinion of many, lies in the fact that President Roosevelt is being accused of build- ing himself up for the campaign next year by use of relief money.
