Lucas By EDWARD i ERADICATION of "IS Vj Senator George ff I W. Norris from the I Ronubllcan party Is demanded by Robert I Lucas, executive director of the Republican Re-publican national committee com-mittee in a scathing statement which is said to have the tacit approval of the White House. In return, the indenendent . Republl- jr. H. Lucas t ' Insist that the national C M e oust Mr. Lucas. Chairman 'C o the committee has declared for hands-off policy, but a showdown ;1S demanded by Senator Howell of Nebraska Ne-braska and others, and there U In fprospect a lively party quarrel that imav very well embarrass the Repub-! Repub-! Scans greatly. All this is the outcome of the discover by the Nye campaign Ifund committee that Lucas financed a campaign against the rejection of Norris Lucas has freely admitted the I facts and defends his action by the j assertion that the Nebraska senator Is ! not really a Republican and has no I right to be classed as such. I To accept office at the hands of this party and then viciously oppose Its policies, principles and leadership, brings an intolerable situation and one which must be eradicated, If the party Is to live," says Mr. Lucas. "Such conduct by Senator Norrla has been revolting and until the leaders lead-ers of the Republican party not only fall to support but give their active opposition to men like Senator Norris. Nor-ris. thev are not doing their full duty I to the party which has come down to w from Lincoln." , After telling how he privately contributed con-tributed three pieces of literature to the antl-Norris campaign, Lucas goes en to relate In detail the many ways In which Norris has displayed his "party treachery" and "ingratitude" by opposing the administrations and policies of Presidents Coolidge and Hoover, all of which is a part of history his-tory though heretofore officially Ignored Ig-nored by Republican party chieftains. Convened by an emergency call by Chairman Nye, the senate committee discovered further that the $4,000 which Lucas borrowed to pay for the antl-Norris propaganda and for which he gave his personal note was guaranteed guar-anteed by a $40,000 special account of the Republican national committee In the Commercial National bank In Washington." This was la the nature of a counter attack against Lucas and was reinforced by statements made by Norris and Senator Cutting of New Mexico. ' The Nebraskan openly charged that Lucas had sworn to a falsehood when he testified before the committee that the money he paid was bis own private fund. Cutting defended defend-ed Norris and attacked the national committee. Then up stepped Representative Wood of Indiana on behalf of Lucas and 'eaved a 'arf a brick at Senator Norris; whereupon Senator Brookhart of Iowa, finding it wasn't a private fight, shied a dornlck at Secretary Mellon and called Lucas "an Insignificant Insig-nificant wart" There were Indications that President Presi-dent Hoover and the other party leaders lead-ers would ignore, officially, the entire loarrel, which would perhaps be the ,afest course If not the bravest.

The result will be that a great program of public works will be pushed forward into production produc-tion and Jobs created to help meet the present emergency." Colonel Woods Issued another warning warn-ing to unemployed men to stay In their home communities and not wander about aimlessly seeking work. Jobless transients, lie said, are causing serious problems In many communities which, while organized to tare for their own destitute, cannot be taxed by outsiders, Woods also culled on fanners throughout through-out the country to co-operate in giving whatever work possible to unemployed men. Senator Wagner of New York says that as soon as congress convenes after aft-er the holiday recess he will Introduce a resolution calling for a study of the public and private unemployment systems sys-tems here and ahroud, and also a bill proposing federul and state co-operation in the maintenance of such a system.

In the closing hours before congress recessed for the holidays Mr. Borah led other senators in a hot attack on the federal farm board's wheat operations. opera-tions. Chairman Alexander Legge of the board, being asked what he thought of Borah's charge that the board In buying wheat Is merely postponing post-poning "the day of reckoning" that will come when it sells, replied : "Please don't 'ask me to discuss cyclones. cy-clones. You know the definition of a cyclone something made of hot air which runs amuck and usually Is destructive." de-structive." He went on, however, to defend the board's policy ln some detail. de-tail. ? Mr. Legge" also paid his respects to John Simpson of Oklahoma City, new president of the Farmers' union, who was quoted as asserting the board is "deliberately" holding down wheat and cotton prices, and citing a senator sena-tor as authority. "You can say to Mr. Simpson that any man making that statement, whether In public office or not Is an unmitigated liar, and say It with my compliments," the chairman said. "Such a statement has never been made by any member of the board or anyone else In authority. The absurdity absurd-ity of It Is proved by the fact that wheat still Is sinking ln the world market Today' Chicago wheat Is some 16 cents above the Liverpool close, and, adding a similar amount for transportation, our wheat Is 30 to 32 cents above the world parity." VERMONT will hold a special election elec-tion on March 31 to choose a successor suc-cessor to the late United States Senator Sen-ator Frank L. Greene. Until then the seat will be filled by Frank CL Partridge Part-ridge of Proctor, who has been appointed ap-pointed by Gov. John E. Weeks. Mr. Partridge, who Is sixty-five years old, is a Republican and a business man and lawyer. CAMERON M O R rison, the new senator from 'North Carolina, was scarce ly tn his seat before he totally wrecked an ancient tradition of the upper house by arising and making a speech. Of course he should have sat silent for at least a few weeks, but the attack u made b, Senator McNmch Walsh of Montana on Frank R. Mc-Nincb Mc-Nincb of North Carolina, one of the President's nominees for the. federal power comijiission. was more than he could endure without retort. He spoke eloquently and warmly for twenty min ntes. starting out with the declaration: declara-tion: "I would scorn to stand In this body and hear this noble man traduced tra-duced by anybody," and when he was all through he mildly expressed his regret that he "had to trespass upon ; J (V. the attentloo of thbj body In almost iuw uour or my entrance." Mr. McNlnch, the speaker explained, never received nor handled a nickel of any power company's money. True enough, he was an antl-Smlth Democrat Demo-crat In 1923, and he, Morrison, as a regular, took the stump against htm, but that did not make him a Republican. Re-publican. FAILURES of relatively small banks of tne country were rather numerous, numer-ous, and on Tuesday the Chelsea Bank and Trust company of New Tork city was closed after runs on its main office and six branches. The bank had more than 40,000 depositors and gross deposits de-posits as of November 14 of $23,923,-000. $23,923,-000. The deposits had shrunk In the last few weeks to around $10,000,000, It was said. The runs were attributed by officials of the bank to unfounded and malicious ma-licious rumors for which Communists, among others, were held responsible. Investigation of the rumors were begun be-gun by the state's attorney general, llstrlct Attorney Crane and the police department, and two men were arrested ar-rested charged with circulating false rumors. THERE was considerable con-siderable surprise in Great Britain when It was announced the other day that Viscount Vis-count Willingdon, now governor general of Canada, had been appointed ap-pointed viceroy of la dia to succeed Lord Irwin when the latter retires In March, 193L j,u-- . There had been much LordW.ll.nodon tak to effect that Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald probably would be given the rich plum. Lord Willingdon, who la sixty-four sixty-four years of age, was governor of Bombay from 1913 to 1919 and of Madras from 1919 to 1924, earning a name for a conciliatory attitude. He has been governor-general of Canada since 1926. OF GREAT importance ln the economic eco-nomic affairs of northern Europe was the signing by six nations of a convention binding them not to raise existing tariff rates or Introduce new ones without consulting one another. This was done at a conference in Oslo, Norway, called to enforce "liberal principles In commercial policy." The six nations are Norway, Sweden, Holland, Hol-land, Belgium, Denmark and Luxemburg. Luxem-burg. The signatories also agreed to con sider' the application of the principle which was the basis of the treaty to "other arrangements likewise calculated calculat-ed to favor international trade." DICTATOR Stalin, ln the process of "cleaning house" ln the Soviet regime, has now got rid of Alexis Rykov. Recently that gentleman was re moved from his high position as president of the council of people's commissars, which corresponds to premier in other governments. gov-ernments. The other Alexis Rykov day by action of the central committee commit-tee and central control commission of the Communist party he was deprived of membership In the Important political po-litical bureau. It was a part of Stalin's Sta-lin's plan to get rid of all the right-wing right-wing leaders and was followed Immediately Imme-diately by the dismissal of Tomsky as vice chairman af the supreme economic econom-ic council. Both Rykov and Tomsky had long opposed Stalin's industrialization industriali-zation program, and though they recanted re-canted publicly last summer during the party congress, this did not save them. Rykov was absent from recent Soviet celebrations In Moscow, and it was explained that he had gone South "for his health." That was the way Trotzky went. Only one right winger of prominence promi-nence remains in a high post He is Nicholas Bucharin, a member of the central committee and also of the su preme economic council. The general expectation Is that he, too, will be dropped eventually, thus leaving Stalin's Stal-in's Ideas supreme. PRESIDENT HOOVER'S Christmas present to Warren T. McCray, for mer governor of Indiana, was a full pardon restoring him to full civil rights. McCray served three years and four months of a ten year sentence to Atlanta penitentiary for use of the malls to defraud In connection wit! the sale of worthless cattle paper.

According to a report Just issued by the Mantl national forest, for-est, 117,000 fish were planted In streams within or adjacent to the forest during 1930, 50,000 of which were seven inches or more In length. In addition to these, 60,000 fish were planted in the Schofield reservoir. Additional Ad-ditional fish would have been planted had it not been for unfavorable road and weather conditions during September Sep-tember and October on the higher elevations. With the completion of the Ferron reservoir next year, that body of water will be heavily stocked with fish, so that Sanpete, Emery and Carbon Car-bon county sportsmen should find better bet-ter fishing than ln past seasons. SALT LAKE. "The floods in Davis county (in 1923 and 1930) are a severe indictment of abuse of range lands that leads not only to floods, but to the deletion of the forage supply as well. Such depletion is uneconomical to the livestock producer. The livestock live-stock Industry itself should cooperate in the correction of bad situations wherever they occur." Such is the opinion op-inion of a subcommittee of the governor's govern-or's flood commission, which opinion has been indorsed in general by the entire commission. The subcommittee's report is now being worked over for presentation with the reports of other committees of the commission to Governor Gov-ernor George II. Dern. It is believed that the whole subject of flood control will come up before the 1931 legislature legislat-ure for consideration.

Messina Rightly Claims Most Wonderful Clock Messina, one of the most important towns In Sicily, Is regaining the glories it lost In the appalling earthquake some 22 years ago. One of the most striking of its new buildings Is a tower which contains the most wonderful clock ln the world. The tower Is surmounted by a bronze Hon holding the city flag In Us front paws. At midday the lion lashes its tall, waves the flag, and roars. A bronze cock placed below the lion crows a greeting to sunrise, noon, and sunset Two arched recesses contain the bells upon which the hours are struck by figures of Diana and Clar-enza, Clar-enza, the heroines who save the city from being sacked by the French after the Sicilian Vespers In 1282. On each of the four sides of the tower is a luminous dial eight feet in diameter upon which are displayed the phases of the moon, a perpetual calendar, and the movements of the planets round the sun. Below the clock face is a stage upon which mechanical figures enact scenes appropriate to the great feasts of the church. London Tit-Bits. Ola Almost Deserved to Get Away With It One night Just before closing up time, Ole Olsen came running into the general store, hatless, coatless and breathless, and dropping on his knees yelled: "Yon, Ion, hide me, hide met Ye sheriff's after me l" "Pve no place to hide ye here, Ole," Yon Yonson, the proprietor, said. "You moost, you moost," screamed Ole. "Crawl into that gunny-sack, then," said Yon, lie had no sooner gotten hid than In ran the sheriff. "Seen Ole?" he asked. "Don't see Urn here," said Yon, without lying. Then the sheriff went nosing around and pretty soon he spotted the gunny sack over in the corner. "What's la Sere?" he asked. "Oh, Joost some old harness and slelghbells," said Yon, With that the sheriff gave the sack an awful boot "Ylngle, ylngle, ylngle 1" moaned Ole.

Examples of this early work were Palmer Cox's "The Brownies" and the sketches of A. B. Frost It was ln the "90s that the comic serial found Its way into the newspapers. The Yellow Kid," a creation of that decade, contributed to the coinage of the terra "yellow Journalism." "The Yellow Kid" is generally credited to R. F.

HEHAQER'S BUSINESS COLLEGE f SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH T Willing to Rest Fame on One Great Success) That the composition of music can be profitable when the work ef the composer is popular Is undeniable, but the few fortunes thnj have been made by composers generally have been started rather than built up by the profits of their music. Roslnl is generally gen-erally supposed to have made a large fortune out of his operas, but he himself him-self admitted that while he had nothing noth-ing to complain about In this respect his wealth came rather from a number num-ber of successful speculations to which he was introduced by one of the Rothschild family. It Is probable, too, that ln his speculations, as in his music, he knew when to stop. When he had finished "William,. Tell" and seen that it was a great success he never attempted another opera, though he lived nearly forty years longer. When asked by an admirer why he did not try to repeat this success, knowing his own limitations (the chief of which was laziness), he replied, "Why hunt the hare when you have I killed the elephant?" English Town Proud of Ancient Parish Church The one hundredth anniversary of the Parish church of Manchester, England, Eng-land, was celebrated recently when the bishop of Coventry preached a special thanksgiving sermon. The church, which is one of the oldest ln the country, coun-try, stands on the same foundations of a Saxon church which was bul'.t In 930 A. D. Beautiful antique stained glass windows decorate the east walL A peal of five bells, dntlng from 13J50, still call the villagers to church. Five hooks, including Fox's "Book of Martyrs" Mar-tyrs" are among the church's treasured treas-ured possessions. Two of the more recent re-cent English martyrs, Robert Glover and Mrs. Joyce Lewis, worshiped at the shrine. Glover was burned at the stake at Coventry In 1555, and Mrs.; Lewis met a similar fate at Lichfield I two years later. The old church is iaj a wonderful state of preservation con' sldering her ten centuries of life.
