An exchange of campaign blows, in which Secretary Ickes called Gov. Landon a former “State Socialist” and | the Kansas Governor replied that the | New Deal was like a losing team | “throwing the ball around wildly at- | tempting to score,” added warmth to | the presidential battling today. Questioning Landon’s “sincerity,” | the Interior Secretary declared in & | radio address last night that in 1934 and 1935 Landon was a State Socialist advocating State-owned telephone and natural gas distribution systems, but that recently he became a ‘“rugged individualist” over night. Landon came back with a statement that New Dealers had been charging he was a “puppet of big business,” but now say he is “a Socialist and the enemy of big business.” Landon de- clared this was “typical of the confu- sion” of the Roosevelt administration. On FPebruary 7, 1935, Ickes said, Landon wrote to him suggesting loans to States for “public State-wide tele- phone systems.” He added that in | December, 1934, William Allen White, Kansas editor, was sent to Washington with a Landon proposal for the con- struction of a natural gas pipe line as a State enterprise. “Enjoining great secrecy because | the Governor of Kansas did not want his colleagues in the oil business to get wind of it,” Ickes said, “Mr. White unfolded & plan by which Kansas, as a State enterprise, would build a pipe line to the natural gas fields in South- western Kansas and market that nat- ural gas in competition with private industry. “It also developed later that Gov. Landon did not propose to take the people of his State into his confidence his ambitieus plan. * * * The cost of Mr. Landon's little pipe dream would be $35,000,000.” until it was too late for them to block | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

But we were finally able {0 obtain the lower rates, with a large saving to the gas consumers of Kansas., with- out resorting to the last weapon that should be resorted to—public owner- ship. Very much the same situation existed in our attempt to get fairer tel- ephone rates. I was exploring our possible recourses. But when the Federal investigation of the telephone rate structure was begun, nothing further was done in Kansas pending the outcome of the investigation. But the public ownership on a local and State basis is entirely different from public ownership on a Federal basis. In the first case you are using the money of the locality or the State for its own service. The Federal Gov- ernment 1s using the money of all the States for the benedt of one. Differences in Plans. Our utilities in Kansas in recent years have recognized their obliga- tions to the public and very generally have been making rate adjustments. 1 believe the best interest of the public is served in bringing about a recogni- tion of this principle nationally. The difference between my plan and the haphazard system of the present administration is that this administra- tion believes in getting into business and apologizing later. I believe in getting private interests to recognize their obligations to the public and then letting private business alone. That is just what I did in Kansas. I got lower rates for the people of Kan- sas on gas and other utilities, and pri- vate business continues to operate. I might add that whatever I do in the matter of utility and power projects, when elected President, I will not use the money of the people to attempt to harness the tides!
