THE KALEIDOSCOPE
By 1. C. McCUMBER

Congress has adjourned. A few
moments prior to adjournment, sew
eral senators and congressman sue
ceeded in borrowing" a number of
matches, and thereupon started a fire
that wiped out what had been sup
posed to have been good reelection
material. 1t is I'd be regretted that
some of the senator's and congressman
did not apply the matches to the seat
of their trousers about six months
ago. They had worried the life out
of some of our 'big business" men.

There is one redeeming feature in
being a United States senator or con-
gressman. i matters not how little
they may do in the nature of legisla-
ton, their pay vouchers come regu-
larly. And the signing of those
vouchers really is the hardest work
some of them do.

SUPER RADIO

It is natural that in era Of super-everythng
there should be superbroadcastng by radio The third
annual radio conference at Washington makes 1t clear
that there are going to be startling developments I'M
medately along this line
Ft The Radio Corporation OF America IS nov build
ing lust outside of New York City, a station that
will have maximum power OF so kilowatts. That IS
SO times as great as the power permitted to prl-
vate broadcasng stations, and 100 times as great as
the power used by the average station.
The conference has gone on record as 1aVormg
freedom to increase the power used and the govern
ent is not disposed to interfere except Tor purposes
of preventing abuses and adjusting disputes IN the
radio field Small stations, using low power Tor local
broadcasng are be protected, but there IS to be no
needless obstacle to the larger development OF the art
The typical station Of the future it appears, VIII
use MANY times the power now used, and therefore
have q broader range. Moreover, in order to make
the powerful stations function most efficiently and
keen them from making themselves nuisance IN their
vicinity they will Ice located not IN cities put OUTSIDE
of cities Broadcasting studios will probably be local
ed in business centers, as they are now ordinary nu
tha procranas will be carried BY wire to the senolng
stations out in the country
This should work very well, but II IS largely eA-
detrimental Radio innovatoys have TO feel their way
and II is not sure yet whether superpoWer VIII be de
srabe or not The coming year will tell, ana also VIII
determine the future Of national broadcasthg by
means of nter-nked stations.

REPUBLICAN, TICKET
SILVER MONEY

Don't be surprised if your banker, some day, when
you step Up to the window to cash a check shovels
you out few pounds Of silver dollars 1t is
garded good banking policy to encourage the cir
culaton of silver Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
has asked the American Bankers Association to do
this.
The purpose of the Treasury Department is i'm
provenaent of the currency There has been
demand for paper money, especially paper dol
lars, of which the government has to print and put
into circulation 48,000000 a month. The silver dol-
lars in circulation have decreased from 84000,O00 to
5400C000 in five years The paper out rapidly,
and its replacement is expensive. The silver stands
wear and lasts indefinitely.
II the public would only use more silver and fewer
paper dollars Secretary Mellon says, the Treasury
could accumulate surplus Of currency and make that
currency OF better quality.
It is sound banking argument. There is Just as
good an argument on the score Of hygiene. Yet the
bankers swimming against the current. An effete
civilization not like to carry around weighty metal
for money
Aluminnn, now, with some alloy to harden It
that might be different.

ACTIVE MOVE ON
TO BOOST GAS
TAX TO 4 CENTS

san FRANCISCO, Oct. 1S-With
approximately 2800 miles of high
way in California, supposed to be
part of the standard highway sys-
TEN, 'unimproved and 20U0 mlles of
this total not receiving state main
tenance, several northern Califor-
MIA counties are planning to instruct
their legislative delegations to try
TO put through the next legislature
/ a bill providing for an extra two
cents tax to improve these roads.
If the legislature should pass such
tax it would mean that motorists
would pay four cents tax for every
! gallon of gas they purchased. Funds
derived from the two-cent tax now
imposed can be used only for main
teuance. The additional tax would
be for new construction.
Supervisors of five northern coun
ties have passed resolutions in favor
of such tax and the common peo
pie are discussing it with favor
Much of the unimproved mileage is
/, in the northern part of the state
1t has been estimated that with an
expenditure of 100000 annually the
. unDuilt portions of the state high
way system could be converted into
travelable and servlceable roads.
All the money available from bond
issues and other sources for new
highway construction has been ap
, portioned, and unless a new bond IS
sue is floated or some other means
employed, such as an additional fue
tax or higher registration fee i'm
, posed, it viii be many years before
, the entire system, including man!
roads are needed badly, can be i'm
proved. Funds for such purpose
