Show BRISBANE One Thing Important , Paid for Not Doing $40 a Month What Do We Want of Japan? One piece of news In the world Is Important to the United States. If .Washington doesnt know it, the governments of Europe and Asia do know It That news is Amelia Earharts flight, nonstop in eighteen hours, across 2,400 miles of the Pacific ocean, from Hawaii to the United States. All American citizens, especially those on the coast, and elderly, gentlemen who are supposed to provide for the defense of this country, should jask themselves: If a young woman, entirely alone, without sleep, no assistant to help with navigation, can fly, unseen, across the Pacific ocean and land in California to receive a bunch of roses, eighteen hours from Hawaii, what do you think .five or ten thousand powerful bombing and swift pursuit planes could do, coming from Asia or from Europe? Pa-'cif- ic out-of-da- Pennsylvania is an important tobacco State. The government is paying farm-er- s not to grow tobacco, just as it ;pays them elsewhere not to grow cot-,o- n or wheat and not to raise pigs. After you have spent your whole life driven by necessitys lash to produce the utmost possible, this brings sweet peace to have the government .pay you for not doing it, even if you cant quite understand it. Nobody has yet arranged to pay newspaper publishers for not writing editorials, but that may come, in the glorious new era, and, here and there, It might be a great blessing. . Washington reports that President Roosevelt's message to congress about pensions for the old will suggest only $ 40. a month. , . The Washington correspondent who says only does not know what $40 ia month would mean to millions of old people whose lives are made bitter not by deprivation, not by poverty, hunger or cold, but by the fact that they depend upon the cold charity of others, particularly on the charity of relatives. Give $40 a month to the old that are dependent and you will bring happiness Into the last years of millions of lives, and that would be worthy of a great nation. The honorable Japanese chief of Information In the foreign office says the United States is planning an attack on Japan. Any Japanese who believes It lacks the usual Intelligence for which you give all Japanese credit Nations start wars because they want something. What does the United States want from Japan? Uncle Sam, in a mild fit of idiocy, is now giving away the Philippines, Asiatic islands richer in resources than the Japanese islands. We got those islands from the Spanish war. Should we start another war, spend billions, kill many of our Japanese friends and burn up their country by fire bombardment from airplanes merely to get more Asiatic Islands, to be given away later? The thirst of the people means profit to the government. Uncle Sam during 1934 collected an average of more than $1,000,000 a day In liquor taxes, a total amount of $374,506,232. Beer alone yielded $200,000,000 ; spirits distilled in America, $121,000,000; imported spirits, $15,000,000; imported wines, $6,000,000. It is easy to understand why tens of millions follow the trial of Bruno Hauptmann for the kidnaping and killing of the Lindbergh baby with such Intense Interest The trial is a mystery in itself. Gradually unwound In court like the chapters in a detective story, It holds public attention, the horrible nature of the crime increasing the interest tenfold. Eighty-nin- e Russian fishermen, living on the edge of the Caspian sea, ought to be grateful to the American Wright brothers that invented the airplane. With their boats they had drifted ten days on an Ice floe and were starving. Along came a big Russian plane, flying low, to drop tiny parachutes that brought food, tobacco and alcohol. Then the fishermen, hopelessly lost, out of sight of land, got in their boats and the airplane guided them to the shortest route to shore.

She said I fly a little, and I write a little. Europe continues edging along toward war. The Associated Press reports Italian troops being concentrated along the Austrian border. Italy fears that Germany may start an attack on Austria, aiming at absorption, now the Saar voting is over. Italy calls this movement of troops Winter along the Austrian border maneuvers, but Europe knows what it really is. France probably will not be surprised. Mussolini for Italy and Laval for France recently had a very affectionate conversation, of which the substance was Keep Germany under cob troL WNU Service. Utah legislature, convening for the twenty-firs- t session, was the recipient of an elaborate message from Governor Henry II. Blood. A varied and comprehensive program of intense public interest was mapped out in the message. Utah citizens from one end of the state to the other are discussing the bill introduced in the legislature providing for state liquor stores. One of the strong points of the bill is the provision forbidding the sale of liquor by the drink, even in eating houses or clubs. Purchases of liquor can only he made at slate stores and in sealed containers according to the terms of this bill. A senate bill is expected to furnish a substitute plan for the one as outlined above and will provide a different way of taking care of the liquor sales. The senate bill would provide for the private sale of liquor under strict supervision. It throws up protections against a recurrence of many of the evils of the preprohibition days and tries to keep the liquor traffic within well controlled and orderly channels. It does not restrict the sale of liquor by the drink in eating ree sorts, but it outlaws the bar. It would prohibit retail sales on any election day. or on Sundays, except by local ordinance. The liquor traffic of the state would lie under the supervision of a liquor control commission of three members, appointed by the governor. The bill would give local option and vest in cities and great authority counties in setting up regulations .of their own not in conflict with those of the state. The state fees for licenses would be as follows: To manufacture alcohol and spirits, $2500; to manufacture wine and beer, $500: to import alcoholic beverages, $230; to distribute, $100; to sell at retail, $50; and to sell on trains, $25. In addition to these occupational taxes the bill would impose a tax on the privilege of engaging in business as a manufacturer or as an importing distributor at the rate of two cents per gallon on all beer of 3.2 per cent or less and 4 cents on all beer over that percentage of alcohol ; 32 cents per gallon for wine containing 24 per cent or less of alcohol by volume ; SO cents per gallon on alcohol and spirits below 110 proof and 50 per cent additional on alcohol and spirits over 110 proof. Among sennte bills of interest are two by Sen. W. C. Holbrook, proposing higher individual and corporate income taxes. Resolutions appeared in both houses calling for a constitutional amendment permitting an increase in the tax exemption on homesteads to $2000. Sen. Holbrook also introduced bills amending the election machinery. One of them would bar elective or appointive officials from holding any other public office, and would bar employes or appointive officials from participating in political primaries. The object of the bill is to prevent the buliding up of political machines by public of- -, ficials. A bill In the house would make amendments to the state industrial act. Under it a workman would receive compensation for occupational diseases, as well as injuries, and other benefits to workers and their dependents would be increased. The measure provides that compensation insurance would have to be handled by the state and private would be Insurance companies barred. A bill to allow county commissioners to lease tax-sal-e property where there is no sale for the land has been sponsored by Rep. Twitch-el- l.

GETS MORE LISTENERS The Utah Legislature old-styl- A bill to make the payment of old age pensions mandatory and divide the costs equally between the counties and the state has been introduced. This bill would also Increase the maximum pension to $35 a month. At present, the payment of pensions to the aged is optional with the counties and they must bear the entire cost. The house adopted a resolution fixing definitely the compensation of senate and house efnployes and eliminating the bonus system. Both branches adopted a measure appropriating $50,000 for the expenses of the legislature. Sen. Neslen, from Salt Lake, has offered three measures which plan to increase the taxes paid by insurance companies, reciprocal insurance exchanges and fraternal benefit societies that use a legal reserve basis. A senate measure by Mrs. Mus-se- r, proposes that Utah ratify the amendment to the federal constitution concerned with child labor. Senator Holbrook has offered a bill to regulate tobacco sales. Some of the problems, concerning which legislation is expected from the present Utah body, are taxation, taking schools and the courts out of politics, a substitute for the present law licensing produce dealers and for the motor transport act, of state, county, reorganization school and municipal governments, public utilities regulation, underground waters and mines.

Roosevelts Out of President is developing Budget Starts real budget a very controversy runs to the heart of the New Deal. True, this controversy like nearly all of the others will not result in changing the Presidents plans, but It seems to me to be a matter which justifies consideration even though the Roosevelt will in the end must prevail Included In the budget was provision for an appropriation, of four billion dollars and, as stated by the President, to be supplied in one sum, subject to allocation by the Executive principally for giving work to those unemployed on the relief rolls. Beyond that, there was no exposition of its Intended use nor has there been any detailed statement of the plan. As a result, there is a considerable body of opinion in the halls of congress which is saying in effect that Mr. Roosevelt ought to define his work relief program. He has not done so, and the best information I can obtain is that no explanation may be expected in the near future; he intends to proceed as he has in the past by developing a' program piece-mea- l and using the funds as the occasion requires. In the critical days of 1933 when Mr. Roosevelt took office, I believe it was generally conceded that the emergency was so serious as to warrant delegation by congress of almost any power even remotely desired by the President. He used that power during 1933 and 1934. Now, many members of the house and senate believe that the time has arrived for congress to become more inquisitive about the expenditure of taxpayers' money and to avoid following in blind trust however the President may direct While it is probable that congress will not be told how the President intends to use the money and while it is also probable that the requested appropriation of four billion be rubber stamped, the dollars fact remains that at no time during the New Deal has there been such a buzz of discontent in the Presidents own list of wheel-horseSenator Byrnes, the South Carolina Democrat who has been looked upon consistently as Mr. Roosevelts spokesman on financial affairs in the senate, has informed that body that it is impossible to be more specific at this time on the work relief program. Senator Byrnes will go no further. lie has given no interviews respecting his own thoughts on the matter and apparently has elected to wait at bat until the President tosses him the ball Nevertheless, there are some senators who think they detect just a trace of concern in the attitude of this administration spokesman and they are wondering how long he will continue to repress his known energies. Controversy which Presentation of. the .budget was expected in many quarters to disclose the means by which Critics Chide the President hoped President to get employment going again in private industry. It showed nothing tangible In this direction. Consequently, critics of the administration who have had opportunity to speak In the house and senate have begun to chide the administration on its third experiment in three years. Representative Snell of New York,. Republican leader in the house, has called attention to the situation something in this manner: The President tried out one plan in 1933; he tried out a second plan In 1934, and now he Is trying a third experiment The first two were found to be all wet, and the Republicans, it seems, are convinced that the current effort has two strikes on it before It gets started. They are predicting failure for it in every way except the success that is. assured in getting rid of money which the treasury is borrowing. Their conversations all have the same theme song, namely that the country Is seeing activity, but they are not predicting bow long this action can continue until the nation goes broke. Whether the business leaders who met at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., a month ago were right or wrong In proposing the use of a dole instead of the more expensive work relief plan, or whether they were correct In any of the other recommendations they made, the truth is the administration has rejected without comment every single one of the recommendations made by that group. Mr. Roosevelt made no mention in his budget message or in his annual message to congress of plans for balancing the budget, and this fact at last has sunk in. The result is additional fear on the part of many business leaders who can see In the future only inflation and economic chaos for the country. .Privately, I have heard many expressions indicating that men of wealth are putting their money into tangible that will not dry np and blow away. That is always the refuge of individuals who fear that the currency which their government controls is losing its worth. These men will be criticized for that course, naturally enough, by blind followers of inflation plans. From all of the signs now visible and from the undercurrent of mumbling that I hear, it certainly is made to appear that Mr. Roosevelt is con , property-s- omething fronted with a necessity for some definite outline of his plans and an assurance that he will adhere to those asplans. Without such, the situation the have not will he Is that suredly confidence of the business structure. It seems illogical even to suppose that of busihe can gain the ness in expanding its activities, thereworkers, unless he by takes a different tack than his pronouncements thus far indicate. At least, such is the conclusion of a vast number of thinking people. I heard a visitor to Washington say the other day that he would like to but ride airplanes, the confounded things Night of their most Ay Flying schedules at night The individual is a man of great wealth and his time is of great value. He insisted he was sincere in his statement that he would much rather save time by flying if the planes were on schedule. The statement aroused my curiosity to the extent that I conducted some inquiry Into the situation. I found the night schedules of the air' lines to be due to the fact that they are fixed by the Post Office department. If a line desires to carry mail it has to subject itself to the dictates of Big Jim Farley, the postmaster general. His office can and does say to an air line that It will fly a ship leaving New York at 9 p. m. or else it does not get the mail contract. The result is that the plane leaves New York at 9 p. m. or it leftves Chicago or Washington or any other city on a time stated by the Post Office day-lig- department Many persons feel that such a policy is taking undue advantage of private industry. It is true that the Post Office department Is paying for carrying the mails at a rate probably well above the rate it receives in postage on that mail. It is,' therefore, a subsidy. But this 'government has for years maintained a policy of subsidizing new industries and that course is responsible for the success attained by the development of the transportation systems of this country. The Presidents special commission named to study the airplane problems of this country and to make recommendations heard much testimony and received much data showing that the airplane industry in the United States had placed this country in the number one position in the air among all nations of the world. Individual members of that commission have stated they regard this as highly beneficial. Some of them at least maintain that development of an air industry was one of the greatest steps taken in national defense preparation. They appeared to consider this one end as justifying the course without even considering the maintenance of a great Industry within the borders of our nation as a commercial unit But while this has been going on, and while many authorities on economic matters continue to urge development of the air industry, we find another agency within the government placing handicaps on that same segment of the economic structure. The least that can be said is that the courses cannot be reconciled. The administration is determined to control oil production. If it cannot do so by Executive order The Oil and the Supreme Court of the United Case States has decreed It cannot do so in that manner there will be laws predicated upon the interstate commerce clauses of the Constitution which will permit the executive branch of the government to keep its hand on the valve of oil wells. President Roosevelt apparently was not much concerned over the Supreme court decision which invalidated that part of the recovery act, giving the Chief Executive authority to allow or prohibit Interstate movement of oil as it decided best The President appeared to feel, in responding to questions by news correspondents, that the rebuff was only temporary. He announced at that time a determination to control oil production in one way or another to avoid what he describes as a 'criminal waste of a great natural resource. The oil case, the Supreme court decided. had its origin in regulations and executive orders issued under what the administration believed to be authority accorded by the recovery act Those regulations and orders prescribed quotas allowed to be shipped from each of the several oil producing states. The motivating spirit was a desire to avoid accumulation of a vast surplus of crude' oil, with the consequent depressing of prices until crude oil was worth little or nothing. But like many other prohibitory laws and rules of conduct, individuals resented being told they could not do a certain thing and immediately began to devise ways by which It could be done a characteristic, that was developed to Its fullest during the bootleg days of national prohibition. The oil that was moved surreptiously came to be known as hot oil," and the controversy over the validity of the regulations and executive orders consequently was called the hot oil case.
