G. J. Adam, " Under the Montana Moon Montana, they have had sense enough to balk application of a new law which requires all applicants for marriage licenses to have a doc- tor’s certificate as to their physical fitness. : The statute was enacted by the last legis- lature but was referred to the people by peti- tion of an outraged citizenry which saw no sense in an attempt to interfere with the operations of human nature when subjected to propin- iquity among the sexes and the influence of the Montana moon. In theory, of course, the people are wrong. In every way except that of practical applica- | tion such eugenics codes are beautiful things. They envision a society in which, eventually, / there will be no more mental and physical mis- fits, in which every citizen will be strong, sturdy and mentally alert. The “unfit” would be condemned to a life of celibacy, legally if not actually. The trouble with it, of course, is that it hasn’t worked out in practice. North Dakota ~whas such a law and it has not been noticeably successful. Doctor’s certificates are required here, but no one seems to have trouble in ob- taining them. her in the third grade at school until she was 16 years old is getting married and bearing children just as readily as her more brilliant sister who graduated from high school at 16. In fact, the former usually enters into the bonds of hymen at an earlier age than the latter. The theory is that physicians will act as fudges of the fitness of individuals for mar- riage. Actually, they do no such thing. It is asking a lot of a doctor to assume the role of Solomon in such cases. Most of them are much q too tender hearted to blight love’s young dream by pointing out the disabilities of the contract- ing parties, | Besides, a man takes a lot of responsibility q when he assumes to halt a process as natural es the rising of the sun or the coming of the i seasons. In addition, he knows that if he doesn’t grant a certificate some other less con- ecientious practitioner will. So what’s the use? The legislature of Montana believed what it heard. It saw the bright picture painted by the * eugenists, heard of the horrible examples which ere called upon to justify such restrictions. And so it acted. But the people were subjected to no auch influence. They looked into their own minds and hearts and found there the conviction that the legislature was attempting to monkey with i something which law could not really control. ; Sometimes the snap judgment of the people is better than the concentrated if confused study of their appointed lawmakers. $500,000 for a Book!

After all, shipbuilders beat the drum for a big navy and it’s a case of noblesse oblige when the navy—accord- ing to the senate munitions committee, at least—fails to use the low navy yard cost of battleship building as a yardstick to force lower bids—sends its ships abroad as sales samples to oblige shipbuilders, despite state de- partment protests; helps prevent competition by discour- aging new private shipyards; doesn’t find out anything about profits and costs; and gives up its right to reject The latest congressional committee to pan the navy is the house labor subcommittee, which investigated the New York Shipbuilding company strike at Camden, N. J. Its members claim naval officials favored the employer at all turns. eee SNUBS FOR NAVY MEN Assistant Secretary of the Navy Henry L, Roose- velt seemed to feel his Job was to take the company’s Proposals and insist that the strikers adopt them. When he seemed to be ducking an appearance before the sub- committee, members publicly offered a $5 reward for him. When he appeared finally, they snubbed him and said they had all the information they needed. Capt. William DuBose tried to explain that, though the contract required the company to live up to NRA principles, the navy didn’t object to cancellation of an agreement with the workers, “because NRA is uncon- stitutional.” The committee jumped on him asking how the Sche- chter decision could affect completed navy contracts. Captain DuBose said he hadn’t thought of that. Eventually, with no help from the navy, President Roosevelt was persuaded to appoint an arbitration board with stipulation that the union must be recognized, with no discrimination against strikers. He turned the a union down on its demand for a preferential shop. eee BOUQUETS WITH THORNS Senator Black of Alabama, in the ship subsidy de- bate: “I am sorry I cannot make the senator see it. I presume it is my inability to express myself clearly, be- cause I know the senator's keen and logical mind, and I therefore attribute all that to myself. However, know- ing what I do about it,.I know he is wrong.” Senator Bailey of North Carolina: “I am very grateful for the senator’s kindly suggestion. I know that all my shortcomings and those of everyone else may be attributed to him because he has such a great excess v4 virtue that he could spare a little for the others of us.” Senator Black: “I am sorry the senator does not need any of it, He has a halo, 4 glorious halo, around his head. It has been there for many years. Far be it from me to attempt to snatch one star from that diadem of holy and honest virtue. Therefore, I return his compliment. That being concluded, I shall now return to the discussion of issues before the senate.” cee IF YOU LIKE “POETRY” Representatives Randolph of West Virginia and Mc- Farlane of Texas showed how the cruel, dictatorial ad- ministration kept congress here all summer and indicat- ed the level which congressional poetry reaches in August, during debate on the bill to investigate food dis- tribution: Mr. Randolph (saying that he quoted certain lines. during the Guffey bill debate and, since no one cried him down, will now quote them again, as they again seem apropos): “The doctor heals and the lawyer pleads, “And the miner follows precious leads; “But this or that, whate’er befall, “The farmer, he must feed them all.” Mr. McFarlane (begging permission to submit an- other poem “in keeping with thought and subject”): “Princes and lords may flourish and may fade: “A breath can break them, as a breath hath made. “But a bold yeomanry, the country pride, “When once destroyed can ne'er be supplied.” Mr. Randolph: “I thank the gentleman; and in this connection may I add that perhaps the deliberations of this body might be a little more pleasant for members here and the readers of the Congressional Record if in the very seriousness of the debates we interspersed these gems—” Well, mayhap.

We may or may agree The Treasury’s Financing (New York Herald-Tribune) In announcing the exchange offer of either 2% per cent bonds or 1% per cent notes for outstanding fourth 4% Liberty bonds the treasury is initiating the fourth and concluding step in an operation which was begun in the fall of 1933 and which, when completed, will have replaced $6,268,000,000 high-coupon war-time bonds with issues bearing substantially lower interest rates. é The first step in this gigantic conversion program was taken in October, 1933, under the late Secretary of the ‘Treasury William H. Woodin. At that time the treasury called $1,900,000,000 of the fourths as of April 15, 1934, and offered at the same time an immediate ex- change in the form of a bond bearing 4% per cent the first year and 3% per cent thereafter until its maturity in 1936. The immediate exchange offer was accepted by holders of some $900,000,000 Libertys, and the remain- ing $1,000,000,000 were turned in in April for straight twelve-year 3% per cent obligations. The second step came in October a year ago, when anether $1,250,000,000 of the war loan was called, holders being given their choice of four-year 2% per cent notes or twelve-year 3% per cent bonds. Six months later, on April 15 of this year, another block of bonds—this time $1,850,000,000— was called. On this occasion the interest rate on the con- version issue in exchange was reduced to 2% per cent and the maturity lengthened to twenty-five years. The present and concluding offer calls for the emis- sion of a bond bearing the lowest interest rate on record except for those issues which carried the privilege of note issue, the consols and the Panama Canal 2s. It thus continues the trend that has marked this conversion op- at first glance to be. It has been by cutting down the length of the new bond to twelve years, as compared with the Reade maturity of the not, perhaps, quite the accomplishment that it appears achieved largely OLITICS * NATION'S CAPITOL By HERBERT PLUMMER Washington — Democratic® senators up for re-election in 1936—and there are 19 of them—already are concern- ing themselves with the problem of who shall be chosen chairman of the senate campaigns committee. Senator “Jim Ham” Lewis holds the post at present, but since he is up for re-election next year his suc- cessor must be selected. Custom and the fact that an incumbent senator has his hands full with his own af- fairs make it imperative that he be Teplaced. The choice probably won't be made until the senate reassembles in January, but Democratic leaders are looking over the field now for the best man. The name of Senator Barkley of | Kentucky is among those most fre- quently mentioned. The keynoter of the Democratic national convention in 1936, elected by a majority of more than 160,000 votes in 1932, and acting majority leader of the senate in the absence of Robinson of Arkansas, the broad-shouldered Kentuckian is fa- vored by many for the post. Only the fact that he'll be needed more in the presidential campaign keeps him from being an almost ere aay choice. 2 Tydings Also Mentioned The youthful Senator Tydings Maryland also is mentioned. ings ability for electing Democratic sen- ators.
