Whether it is strong enough to resist the attacks which will be made on it remains to be seen for, in the ordinary sense of the term, some of his proposals are hardly good politics. The plan to abolish many local political subdivisions in order to effect savings is a case in point. The Tribune has mentioned this as a subject deserving consideration whenever search was being made for ways to reduce expenses but no other candidate has been so brash as to espouse anything which would markedly reduce the number of public officeholders in the state. All of these folks vote and have influence and it is not to be expected that many of them will feel so inefficient as to warrant them in supporting the abolition scheme. It just isn’t human nature for them to do so. The unicameral legislature is another innovation which draws Mr. Moses’ whole-hearted support. It probably is a good idea—at least it has some strong points to recommend it—but here again one encounters the unwillingness of legislators to give up places of honor and emolument. The fact that our leg- islators do not, on the average, last very long doesn’t change their view. Each man elected usually hopes for reelection. The proposal to use part of the revenue from the state sales tax for general revenue, thereby permitting a tax exemption on homesteads, is not new and should have the general support of the public no matter who is elected. These proposals, of course, all come from the candidate. They are not yet pronunciamentos of the party in the sense that the rank and file have adopted a platform. Nevertheless, they are straws in the wind which show what the Democrats will have to offer and the fact remains that they will offer them regardless of whom the Republicans nominate as their candi- date for governor. Shock to North Dakota Decision by the supreme court that New York’s law pro- viding minimum wages for women and children is unconstitu- tional was something of a shock to North Dakotans. This state has had such a statute for so long that it has come to be regarded as a conservative action of government. To learn now that it has been unconstitutional all along will cause some scratching of heads. The ultimate result of this and other decisions by the court will be to make the issue of constitutional amendment an im- portant one, sooner or later. Too many people feel that laws such as these are sound and in the interest of the people gen- erally to shy away from the issue if and when it is formally raised. This situation is further enhanced by the fact that so many of these decisions have been by narrow margins. If a citizen can quote from one or more supreme court justices in support : of his stand, there is always room for argument, as there ; apparently already has been within the court proper. Curiously enough, the thing which will hasten this devel- opment is the fact that Chief Justice Hughes has been, at times, one of the dissenters. There is no question but that he ranks ~head and shoulders above any other member of the court or that he has been one of America’s greatest statesmen for nearly a generation. The fact that he dissents will lead many to the view that a change may be in order. And the curious thing about it is that Justice Hughes would be the last to want such a thing to happen. He well knows the danger of tinkering with the basic law of the land. One Never Knows The death of young George Bolton, struck by a railroad train, serves to prove how little interested the world is in any- thing except results. Throughout his boyhood the youth was inclined to be sickly and the climax of his unfortunate experiences was a severe attack of rheumatic fever which left him bent and incapable of walking in a normal manner. Interested in baseball, he gladly served the Bismarck team in any capacity he could and thus his handicap came to the notice of more people than normally would be the case. The natural result, because of the youth’s slow movements, was that he was dubbed “Lightnin’” after a motion picture charac- ter. It is probable that many more people knew him by that than by his real name. It was not cruelty on the part of baseball fans which caused them to give young Bolton this queer title. It just seemed to fit and for that reason it became popular. Nevertheless, there might have been less joking about the youth’s mannerisms had the baseball-going public fully under- stood that his handicaps were such as might come to any other lad who had the same unfortunate experiences. It goes to show that one never knows what caused the conditions which often draw our attention. CAE rE SPE ETE NRO ESATA CRP Err Hit by bullet several years ago, Matawan, N.

Al Smith Expected to Shun Conven- tion... Early May Leave White House Job ... Hitler Draws Hisses «.. Smedley Butler Is Doing a Dry | Spellbinding Act. | By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent). Washington, June 2.—One of the maxims every Washingtonian knows is that when you pass a lawethe job has only begun. Whether the law is going to mean anything depends on how it’s administered. About a year ago, congress passed amendments to the national bank- ruptcy act which provided, among other things, that federal district courts should direct trustees of bank- rupt railroads to investigate the causes of bankruptcy and report whether there were grounds for suits by security holders against directors . | or the management. The provision was put over despite opposition of Chairman Jesse Jones of RFC. To date, although numerous charges have been made against manage- ments of roads now in receivership, only one federal district judge has acted—Judge Charles B. Davis of St. Louis, in the case of the Cotton Belt road. There are several conspicuous in- stances of omission to act, say critics, citing Judge James H. Wilkerson of Chicago, for instance, who has both the St. Paul and Rock Island railroads within his jurisdiction. ee % Al May Shun Convention Reports from New York that ex- Gov. Al Smith will avoid the Demo-) cratic national convention and allow an alternate to sit in his place with the Tammany delegates, although un- confirmed, are readily credited in Washington. Politicians do not see anything Al could do at Philadelphia except ac- centuate by his presence his isolation in the face of a convention almost unanimously supporting Roosevelt, to whom he is bitterly opposed. delegates against the president, he might easily tempt a large mass of delegates to ridicule. And Al knows as well as any insider here that con- trolling politicians in the party are all set to rig the galleries for a boo- ing party in case he plans to attack the New Deal from the platform or the convention floor. ek ® New Job for Early? Stephen Early, Roosevelt's publicity secretary, is expected by the end of the year to join the long procession of White House secretaries who have marched into the ranks of private in- dustry. Early, according to report, will join up with a latge motion picture con- cern. * % Hisses for Hitler Adolf Hitler was thoroughly hissed the other night by part of a Washing- ton audience which included a large number of government officials and members of congress. The Resettlement Administration and the Museum of Modern Art Film Library—of which Mrs. John D. Rock- efeller, Jr., is vice president —pre- sented a motion picture show of gov- ernmental “documentary films” in a large hotel ballroom. The films were British, German, Russian, French and, as a climax, a Stirring movie produced by the RA itself, called “The Plow That Broke the Plains.” The German film showed Nazi youth in training and was greeted in silence until Hitler appeared on the screen to make a speech. First there was scattered applause, which quick- ly subsided under a chorus of hissing from all parts of the hall. The German film was the only one which was not applauded at the end. * *e * Smedley Butler's Found In case anyone ever wonders what became of Gen, Smedley Butler, fa- mous battler of the marine corps— Last winter Butler wrote a series of anti-militarist articles for the mag- azine Common Sense. Now he lectures against war and on behalf of prohibition, predicting that in 25 years there will be another and permanent prohibition amend- ment. In a speech at a church in Wash- ington the other night, he urged drys to seek one objective at a time and suggested that they begin with cam- paigns against drunken drivers. “Make it practical,” he said. “No- body believes in drunken drivers. Don’t talk about prohibition; talk about human lives. It won't be pos- sible to get another prohibition amendment right away.” (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)

Borah’s radio speech will rank as the most important utterance made by any- body on the Republican or Democratic side during this pre-convention cam- paign. Those who are accustomed to look for personalities and not principles, those who expected Mr. Borah to de- nounce Governor Landon or to an- nounce a bolt from the ticket if the Kansas governor were nominated, missed the whole point of the Idaho senator's extraordinary effort to shape the destinies of his party at the most critical moment of its history. What Senator Borah said, in effect, was this: First, platforms are important, but candidates are more important. Second, conventions and whom they nominate are important, but what the candidates themselves say after they are nominated is more important. This means merely that, when the Cleveland convention is over, Senator Borah will reserve the right to ex- amine the speeches of the nominee and determine for himself whether the issues are being made in con- formity with the principles believed by the Idaho senator to be paramount. If they are not, Mr. Borah will not support—because he cannot in consci- ence support—such a nominee. Nei- ther will he support Mr. Roosevelt, whose policies are diametrically op- Posed to what Senator Borah believes. In other words, if the next Repub- lican nominee wants Mr. Borah to campaign for him, he must adopt the basic idea for which the Idaho sen- ator stands. And Mr. Borah, more- over, believes as he did in 1932—when, in the same manner, he refrained anybody who deviates from the anti- monopoly doctrine in 1936 is doomed to defeat and that likewise the Repub- lican party may be doomed to ex- tinction. Now, what is this anti-monopoly doctrine and who disagrees with Mr. Borah about it? Unfortunately, in the short space of a 30-minute ad- dress over the radio, it was not pos- sible to furnish all the background of the controversy nor to outline its implications, But, in a nutshell, Mr. Borah feels that concentrated econ- omic power is just as bad as concen- trated governmental power and he might have added, a merger of the two means the destruction of all lib- erty of opportunity and brings Fascism. It is true that Mr. Borah made gen- eral accusations as to the existence of monopoly which would have to be proved in court. Mere bigness is not monopoly. Price-fixing is a basic fea- ture of monopoly, and when big and little units in business get together to fix prices—or to “stabilize” them, as the more fashionable phrase has it —there is danger to the system of in- dividualism which Mr. Borah regards as essential to economic recovery. Will Mr. Landon recognize the im- plications of this issue and make them his creed? A brief platform plank denouncing monopoly is far from ade- quate. What Mr. Borah demands is that the anti-monopoly doctrine be made the central theme of the whole campaign in order that the independ- ent and the man of small business may have his opportunities to grow and make a profit increased instead of diminished. It will be recalled that Mr. Borah Patternless Puzzle HORIZONTAL 7To swerve. Answer to Previous Puzzle 1 Human beings. (DIESE IRION CIR IN| ICOlOMMA|| ISILIERMA L ITIATLIOINESIUIR ID} 15 Rodent.

There are price-fixing advocates in the oil industry. To agree with your com- petition is often easier than to fight your competition. The Roosevelt ad- ministration, which has virtually abandoned the Sherman anti-trust laws, has shown signs of developing the Cartel or monopoly system along the lines of the Hitler and Mussolini economic policies.

He regards it as so important that, if the Republican nominee pussy- foots or straddles or submerges the issue and tries to carry water on both shoulders, Mr. Borah will not have his heart in the campaign nor his voice. But can a man like Gov. Landan espouse the Borah doctrine? As an independent oil man, he knows what it is to fight larger units. Also he speeches pletely consistent wil opoly doctrine of the Idaho senator. In fact, they constituted perhaps a more detailed explanation of honest competition’s advantages to the masses of consumers than was pos- sible in Mr. Borah’s discussion of the subject, which was largely from the viewpoint governmental policy in- stead of economic evolution. GAIL EVERETT, winner of the Larne costume design it of ‘This correspondent has always dis- becomes interested in you or your work there isn’t a thing she won't do for you.” “Oh, I may never meet her again. It isn’t likely I'll be join- vy.’ (Copyright, 1936, John F. Dille Co.) agreed with Mr. Borah on his foreign policy and believes that the senator is overlooking the fact that Fascism and monopoly and price-fixing all arise out of the consequences of do- mestic isolation or self-containment, which makes regimentation and ra- tioning of production and employ- ment inevitable. International co- operation, on the other hand, whether through the League of Nations or any other device of diplomatic usefulness than can insure us against war, means enlargement of trade and markets ‘and gives stimulus to the competitive system. Notwithsthanding this paradox in Mr. Borah’s reasoning, the speech is @ challenge on the monopoly issue which the Democratic as well as the Republican party must meet, and on the exposition of the problem during the campaign, the translation of what it means to the average man by way of future opportunity and future jobs, will depend victory or defeat in No- vember for the nominee of either the Cleveland or the Philadelphia con- vention. any good at all as a designer you'll make a fortune.
