ne second national radio confer

the second national radio confer
ence.
Secretary Hoover stated recently
that Representative White, who
fathered the bill which bore his
name last session. will introduce
simplif1ed radio bill this session.
The old bill, it Is understood, has
been reduced to first terms SO az to
permit of proper Interpretation with
the development of the art and to
give the Secretary of Commerce and
his advisory committee liberal and
more or less elastic authority over
the control OF national radio prob
lens. A recent conference between
representatives Of the government
departments was successful In elim-
mating such points Of disagreement
as existed heretofore, and the re-
sultant bill will be introduced in the
House before the end OF this month
According to Secretary Hoover, the
radio Interference situation today is
far better than 1t was at the time
the original White bill passed the
House last year, due chiefly to the
elimination of interference through
the voluntary cooperation Of the
several interests. There is now lit
tie interference between the exist
ing broadcasting stations, which are
decreasing in numbers.
In general, the President also in
dorsed the enactment into law of the

Radio Regulation Planned.

President Coolidge's message to Con-
gress, also carried his recommend
ton for remedial legislation on
radio. Echoing Secretary Hoover's
request that the laws aft ,cting radio
administration enacted In 1912 be re-
vised, the President personally told
Congress that new legislation regu-
lating radio Interference Is needed.
At present, Secretary Hoover Is op-
Grating under a sort of "gentlemen's
agreement" between commercial, gov

approved plan of the joint committee
on the reorganization Of the govern
ment departments, which places radio
under the direction of an assistant
secretary of communications, who
telegraphs. The Post ONCE and the
radio section of tho bureau of nav
igation Of the Department of Com
merce would become a part of the
department of communications, ac-
cording to the present plan Of the
joint committee.
Before the reorganization is ef-
fected, however, all phases of the
radio question will probably have
been threshed out, and its admins
tration may or may not be taken
away from the Department Of Com
merce. The proposed bill, it is un-

, declare there is no need for smaller
broadcasters in cities where there
are one or two large stations in con-
slant service. The craze to broad
cast, which was at first a popular
fad, is now established on a positive
operating basis, serving L practical
need in almost every big community.
While some minor stations may
continue in smaller districts where
farmers are served, others, such as
more prosperous papers, may func-
tion despite the cost, just for the
intangible good will, and some
churches and hotels may operate to
extend their scope and advertising,
many believe our broadcasters will
eventually be reduced TO one-half the

Budget Board'
Makes Report
To Legislature

Of expense accounts it should apply to
the present session as well as TO flu
ture ones. When the bill in this shape
came up it failed for the lack Of the
necessary two thirds to pass it as all
emergency measure, and attempts to
failed. The vote against repeal was
largely from the western part of the
state where the issue was not raised
in the campaign to any extent, but
vent the two thirds necessary to put
it across. Several like bills are yet
to be considered by the house, and
while they are yet open, the chances
for repeal are not at all rosy at this
time, but may show a change when the
members get back from home.
While new bills have been far below
the average for the session, among
those which have been introduced are
two by Solberg Of Deuel., both in rela-
ton to the school for the blind, and
covering the questions Of admission to
the school.
The report of the budget board was
enXiously waited for by the represent
atiyes in counties which contain state
Institutions, and in the recommends,
tiOns the state college at BroOkingS is
granted 81, 1872, $40 for the biennial per-
iOd, and the school for blind at Gary
$4,000 for the same time with an adj
ditional emergency appropriation of
$1,000.
There is a bill started in the senate
which seems to change the dates of
the primary election law to carry all
the different activities over until
spring instead of starting a campaign.
a year in advance. The Hall bill in
the senate fixes the precinct meetings
the first Tuesday in March, at the
same time as the township meetings,
with the county and state proposal
meetings following in that month, and
fixes the primary for the last week III
May. This would give an officer who
is a candidate for a second term a
breathing spell before he starts his
new campaign, and would not force
line before he fairly started his first
term.
Very few bills have been passed and
sent to the governor for his action and
the indications are for a smaller num-
Der of bills than at any session for
years, the appropriation bills being
the main feature after the members
get back from the recess, as none of
them have been introduced up to the
present time.

Million Dollars for
State College Urged

An appropriation Of over a million
dollars was recommended by the bud
get board for State college for the next
biennial period in their report 10 the
legislature made last week. For the
school year 1924 they approved he
sum of $587,S20 and for the next year
the sum S504,S20. This is practically
the sum asked for the college, based
on their estimates Of what it will cost
to run the institution during the next
two years in the most efficient yet
economical manne 1t is expected
that the legislature will make apprO-
priations in accordance with the rec
concentrations of the budget board.
For the first time in a lumber OF
years, the state university will receive
larger appropriations than state col
lege, this due to the fact that the bud
get board approved their request for
a new building. 1t has been six years
since the university has had a new
building. An appropriation of $1,291,-
800 was recommended for the two year
period for the university. The budget
board allowed a total of S9,315.343 for
all Of the state institutions.

STATE OF A

as reported by Bradstreet's for last
week was cheerful. Domestic trade
and industry strongly situated. For

Lumber in unprecedented call for this
season. Food prices exception to gen

Watertown Bows to
Brookings 10 to Is

Brookings high school still main
tains its athletic prOwess over Water
town, one of its biggest rivals. Last
Saturday evening the Watertown high
school basketball team went down to
defeat 10 to 16, before the Red and
Back team and the record of never
having lost a game on the local gym
nasium floor remains unbroken. When
the two teams lined up for practice il
looked as though Waterfowl had the
advantage, they looked taller, faster
and better shooters than the local boys
but when the game started 1t was Il
different story. The Waterfowl boys
seldom got close enough to the basket
to throw at it. The game was hard
and closely fought, however, and the
outcome was never certain.
Preliminary to the boys game, the
Brookings girls played the E5tellIne
girls in a game of basketball. Brook
ings was also victorious in TINS con
test winning by a score of II to s. The
Brookings girls showed superior team
play n had a better eye for the pas
ket. Although outweighed they made
up for it in speed. Francis Humphrey,
a graduate of State college, is the prin-
cipal and coach of the Estelline school.
George Thompson, captain Of the state
college basketball team refereed both
games.
H~uchendorf seemed to lead the at.
tack for the local team and was the
most accurate in locating the ring
He turned a large number OF free
throws to counters. Carlisle was mis-
sing from the lineup Saturday. Coach
Nicholson has increased the strength
Of his team by good coaching since
their earlier performances so that they
look like very strong contenders for
championship honors. Their chie'
fault seems to be difficulty in finding
the hoop.

Following the meeting Of the board
Of regents and college presidents at
Nermillion yesterday, DR.. Willis +.
Johnson took the opportunity to offic-
tally hand in his resignation as presi-
dent Of State college to take effect at
the end of the present school year.
Doctor Johnson made public announce
ment Of this fact at the meeting of
the Kiwanis club this noon.
Rumors have been afloat for some
time, the source Of which have not
been made public, that DR.. Johnson
would be asked or forced to resign
for certain reasons Nothing has ever
come of these rumors in the past and
it is not expected that anything would
have come of them in the future, for
the rumors seem to have no foundation
nor has any public charge been made,
but DR.. Johnson is not going to invit,
further attacks upon either himself
or State college and has decided to a,
cept one of the many splendid pc 81
lions that have been offered to him Ia
other states. This action of Pre-
Johnson's is expected to quiet al
rumors that have been afioat.

acquaintance of MIR. Withee. II was
not until after the Civil War that the
couple became engaged. however. and
they were married in April after his
return in August from the battlefields.
This wedding ceremony occurred on
April s. 1863 and was performed in
Madison By Elder John Dennis at his
home.
Mr. and Mrs. Withee began house
keeping in Norridgewock on the farm
settled by Mr.. Withee's parents who
were then living and they cared for
these aged people in their declining
years. In about 1911 they purchased
the home on Maple street where they
have since resided and Walter {.
Weston became the owner OF their
farm which is in the Beech Hill neigh
borhood Mrs Withee was mem
Der OF Russell Relief Corps and had
served twice as its president. She
had also been a member of the stan
of the Department and National pres
idents. She was much interested in
Grange work and for many years had
been active in the local P. of Fl. or
