mo OFFERSF FOR
DUESENBERG CO.
Debt of 100000 Slows
Sale of Factory,

The Duesenberg Automobile and
Motors Company, Inc, now in re-
ownership, will be sold as soon as
possible, Probate Judge Mahlon E.
Bash said today. The plant Is
worth 100000 he said, with a total
debt of $3,21O,0O0 against it.
Although efforts have been made
by w. T. Rasmussen, receiver, to sell
the factory, no offers have been re-
ceived, Judge Bash said, because
there is 100000 in preferred stock
out.
REORGANIZATION is difficult, be-
cause nobody wants to put half a
million dollars in the business to put
it on a paying basis, and have to
share with the old stockholders, he
said. "Of course, we can sell 1t out
from under the stockholders to the
highest adder. Imagine selling 49,
600, 900 worth of stock on assets
worth one-sixth that amountv'
Two or three cars a week are

should be composed of Senators or
members of the House representing
States within which such expendi-
lures are made.
Frye, l remember, picked me up
in that debate, and asked me If l
would apply that same rule to the
Committee on Commerce, of which
was chairman.
I answered, by all means"
I contended that the final exepndi-
ture should be made with a single
purpose in mind, and that was the
public interest, their general good,
and that could only be made by men
who had no POLITICAL interest to
serve.
It is a common thing for mem
bers and Senators to urge, as one of
the arguments in making their per
sonal and semi-confidential appeal to
their friends upon the various COM
mittees, that the expenditure OF so
many hundred Of thousands of dol
lars in their districts or their States
would materially help them in their
coming election.
Senator Warren of Wyoming, in
1911, in a speech made to his con-
stituents, compared the amount he
and his colleague had obtained in
the way of appropriations for Wyo-
ming with what other Senators had
been able to get for some Of the
most important States in our Union
and boosted Of 1t as a meritorious
achievement.
The most important thing of all is
to send honest men to Washington
men in this time Of stress who
want to serve the public and nobody
else. The ADLER these men are. the
better, but above all the people
should see to It that their represen-
tatives are honest-not merely
money honest, but Intellectually hon

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS IN
STAIJNIE\TSl

After years spent in fighting the
political bosses in the House OF Repre-
sentatiyes and later as Governor Of Wis
cOnsin, La Toilette is elected TO the
Senate in 1905. In the Senate he real
ICES than he is regarded as crank and
disturber of the peace. With the sup
port Of Present Roosevelt he draws up
a bill providing that all coal lands shall
be reserved by the general government
and shall not be sold. Later the Presi-
dent notifies him that the provisions OF
the bin are too drastic and that COM
promise measure will have to be agreed
upon. La Toilette, believes, however.
that this would mean a sacrifice Of the
basic principles involved.
Roosevelt was the keenest and
ablest living interpreter OF what I
would call the superficial public
sentiment Of a given time, and he
was spontaneous in his response to
it; but he did not distinguish be-
tween that which is a mere surface
indication of a sentiment and the
building up by a long process Of
education Of a public opinion which
is as deep-rooted as life.
Had Roosevelt, for example, when
he came to consider railroad rate
regulation. estimated correctly the
value OF public opinion that had
been created upon that subject
through a space OF nine years. he
would have known to a certainty
that it lay in his power TO secure
legislation which should effectually
control the great transportation
companies Of the country.
But either through a desire to
get immediate results. or through a
misunderstanding Of the really pro-
found depth OF that public sentiment,
he chose to get what little he could
then. rather than 10 take a tempo
rary defeat and go on fighting at the
succeeding session OF Congress for
legislation that would be fundamen-
tally sound.
To get back to the coal mater.
I knew instinctively what had taken
place Immediately after the intro
duction of my bill. Representatives
Of the railroads and OF the corpo-
rations, both inside and outside Of
Congress. probably had swarmed to
the White House. denounced the
President that the plan I had Of
fered was socalistic and that the
committe would not tolerate it.
Well. after the President decided
he could not support the bill which
I had introduced. it had no chance
Of passing the Committee on Public
Lands.
Ends Legislation
And no other measure proposed
received the support of the people
Of the country who We're in favor
Of genuine conservation. That ended,

At once Mr.. Hale started in to re-

that members OF the Senate could

the clerk started to read the bill.
had not studied the Naval Ap-
preparation bill at all, but I began to
send FOR documents and I determined
to speak on the bill until adjourn
ment for the day and thus gain time
to study 1t.
Hale saw that I was quite deter
mined to prevent the passage OF the
bill that afternoon and so he rose
and said that he wanted to be rea-

Seven Motorists Slated Over
Night.

Speed arrests took an upward
trend Thursday night when seven
were arrested after a week of ap-
parently little speeding.
In spite of the slight increase
Police Chief Herman Rikhoff Faid he
thought the week would show the
smallest amount Of arrests since the
drive began.
1t was also noted that many Of
the arrests were made in the early
hours of the morning and motor
cycle officers say that the excuse
mostly given was that the drivers
were anxious to get home.
Those arrested Thursday night on
the charge of speeding were:

MY OWN STORY

for the time being. any chance of
legislation on that subject.
The simple scheme of dominating
the committees in the Senate and the
House. as exemplified in the case of
these coal land bills, is the familiar
procedure of those private interests
both inside and outside of Congress
don. Any attempt to bring about
progressive reforms is met by this
entrenched opposition.
Now, I had grown tired Of sitting
in the Senate and seeing appropria-
ton bills carrying hundreds of mil
lions of dollars brought in, not rea-
sonably early in the session, but held
back, held back, until near its close.
Such delay SERVED two purposes:
The appropriation bill having the
right of way under the rules could
be used to kill off any measure that
the interests did not want passed.
Furthermore, it could be urged that
there was no time for full debate.
One afternoon, therefore, when Mr..
Hale arose and presented the naval
appropriation bill. stating that he
| hoped the first reading OF the bill
would be dispensed with, 1 said that
had had no opportunity to see what
was in the bill; that thought the
| time had come when the Senate
should stop such proceedings; that
my remarks were not intended as an
affront to the committee. but that
each of us had his personal respon-
sibility to his State and to his coun-
try. and that the organization OF the
/ Senate contemplated hat legislation
should not be enacted by the fifteen
or seventeen men who constituted
/ the committee, about whose selection
the Senate itself had very little to

MRS. LA TOILETTE AT HER
HOME.
Then I called In Cummins. Borah
and Dixon. I called Dixon because
he had come to me after my tilt with
Hale and expressed sympathy with
the course had taken.
This was the first gathering OF the
group OF so-called Progressives in
the Senate for concerted action on
Legislation.
We spent the entire Sunday on IT,
assisted by n number OF naval
Ulcers and threshed out the whole
II. When We had determined on
ae items in the bill that should be
opposed. we shared them among us
and each one went to work.
In the course OF the debate on the
naval appropriation bill which fol-
lowed. the Senate bosses for the first
time were vigorously attacked for
the way they made up the COM
mittees
We did not get any change in that
particular bin, for they had a big
majority and passed 1t in spite OF
US, but at the close OF the debate I
offered a resolution as fundamen-
tally important in principle as the
resolution that l offered for the res
ervation OF the coal lands, with ref.
erence to naval appropriations in the
future.
That resolution provided that the
President should appoint a board of
naval experts to investigate all Of the
naval harbors. yards and drydocks
in the United States, and report to
the next Congress whether appro-
priations We're being made in the
best interests Of the service and
whether appropriations for the fu-
ture ought to be continued for these
various purposes. They voted me
down, but few weeks after this.
Roosevelt, Just before he went out
Of office, appointed just such a board,
which later made n valuable report
I made a fight for time to investi-
gate all important appropriation
bills during that session. and since
then immediate consideration Is
rarely asked upon the report of an
appropriation bill.
Reform Needed
There Is indeed a great field for
reform, not only in the method Of
selecting the members Of the various
committees of the Senate. but in tho
principle that should control.
