The impression continues to gain
ground that Robert La Toilette, jr.. is
the logical candidate of the La Fol-
lette people in Wisconsin to succeed
the late Senator La Toilette. No an
nouncement of his candidacy may be
expected, however, until he has re-
turned to Wisconsin and taken counsel
with his fathers trusted friends.
Notwithstanding the claims of some of
the regular Republicans from the
Northwest that they will make a
strong bid for the election of a "stal-

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. g.
Wages still are advancing through
out the United States although the
gains in the past year have not been
so great as in some privious years.
The Department of Labor has an
nounced the result Of survey Of I'M
ion wage rates per hour in 40 repre-
sentative cities throughout the coun-
try. The average Of these cities may
fairly be said to repdesent a national
average.
The average wage for briclSlayers
now is $1.40 per hour. Last year the
average wage per hour was $1.S4. The
gain over the last year averaged 6
cents per hour.
The average wage of plumbers now
is $1.22 per hour, compared with S1.19
per hour year ago, a gain Of cents
per hour.
Carpenters made small gain in the
last year. The 1925 average rate per
hour is $1.07, as compared with 81 .O6
in 1924. Compositors working in book

method of procedure and demanding
a change in its rules.
"But government by departments
and bureaus is not the whole story.
We have government by injunction.
The department Of justice, with exec
utive sanction, attempts to control the
industrial world by order Of court and
that without hearing. We have gov
eminent by indictment, through which
the administration seeks to crush and
break it's critics. We have government
by intimidation, by which members of
congress and government employees
are punished by ostracism or dismissal
from the service should they reveal
fraud or inefficiency in their particu-
lar bureau or department, or should
they fail to join in the Qualification
anthems of the administration. We
have government by blackmail, as
shown by the order of the treasury
department in the matter of the as
sessment of some ten millions of dol
lars against Senator Couzens of Mich
igan in order to check his activity in
removing the lid from that depart
ment.
"No law, then, can be presented to
congress that affects in any way de-
partment matter before it has been
submitted to that department and
report had thereon. The departments
and subordinate bureaus have become
the censors Of legislation. The pres
ident boldly tells congress what to do
and what measures he will veto if it
has the temerity to pass them. The
heads of the departments and bureaus
are laws unto themselves. Should
publisher happen to offend the sensi-
bilities of the inner circle, he is nenied
the use of the mails, and there is no
redress except an appeal to the very
power that issued the order"

WHEELER TAKES STAR
AT THOSE WHO FAVOR
RULE OF bureaucracy

MADISON, Wis, Oct. s.-"The
greatest issue now before the people
is the preservation Of representative
government" says United States
Senator Wheeler, writing in LaFol-
lette's Magazine. The Montana SEN
ator declares we are drifting toward
bureaucracy and that the present
tendency in government is for the ex-
ecuitve to usurp legislative power.
Senator Wheeler called attention to
the zone thousand and one jabsv that
the reactionary press of both political
parties is constantly giving to the leg
islative branch Of our government.
"This is evidence" he continues, "of
the deterioration of constitutional gov
eminent and Of the rise Of an auto
cratic power with the executive de-
partments as the dominating influ-
ence."
This struggle, the senator said, IS as
old as our government, but never has
the legislative power been go flouted
and denied by the executive as it has
been for the past 10 years.
81 do not hold President Coolidge or
any of his predecessors responsible for
this government by bureaus" said
Senator Wheeler. at is system that
has grown up with the financial and
commercial control of our country. It
is an open secret that the executive
branch of our government in this con-
tse with the legislative branch for
supremacy, is dominated by what is
known as the invisible government
the great financial, industrial and
commercial interests. These interests
control public channels Of propaganda
by which public opinion is nodded and
fictitious characters created.
every time-honored prerogative of
the legislative branch of the govern
ment is questioned or ignored. We

dent-elect lecturing the senate on its

and job plants are averaging now
SO cents per hour, compared with %
cents a year ago.
Wages started their upward climb
with the conditions brought about by
the World War. The upward trend
was apparent even before this country
went to war. There was in interrupt
ton to the upward trend in 1921 and
1922, but the gains since then have
more than offset these losses until
present wage scales are the highest on
record.

apparently to see what it is made of
and rewriting much of its history,
sometimes in the most minute detail,
the contention between two trunk line
railroads which is being aired before
Thomas F. Woodlock, Interstate
Commerce commissioner, promised to
end here today.
{. NJ. Armstrong. cattleman of
Armstrong, refused to be shaken in
his testimony for the Missouri Pacific
railroad system, the objcctor to the
plea of the Southern Pacific railroad
for permission to extend its San An
tonic and Arkansas Pass branch south
from Falfurrias into this region of
truck growing and citrus orchards.
Mr.. Armstrong was strongly of the
opinion that I've did not want an
other railroad" because, he said. it
likely would result in splitting what
he termed an already good service
and might result in increased freight
rates.
He indicated that one road might
prosper in the Valley: two might not.
If both became impoverished through
lack of business, he reasoned, they
must have more revenue. Increased
revenues. he said. usually meant
higher freight rates.

SNYDER GIVES BAMBINO
RIGHT DOPE ON OPENER
By BABE RUTH

PITTSBURGH, Oct. S.-Sizing up
a ball game like that one yesterday
is bit tough. 1t was so much
johnson that the doings of the best
of the boys looked pretty small along
side of him, in fact, after the fifth
inning it was just n brcezc-in with
johnson setting the Pirates down in
order to finish.
have watched Walter johnson
pitch a,lot of ball games, and / have
played against him a lot of times,
but / don't believe ever saw him
when he was better than he was yes
terday. His fast one was breaking n
good six inches. He had a sweeping
curve that he mixed in TO get the bat
ters off balance and he was just wild
enough to be effective. A lot of times
Walters control is so good that it
hurts him, for the boys dig in and
wait, knowing he won't sock them.
But yesterday his wildness helped.
TRAYNOR is STAR.
Aside from johnson it was "Pie"
Traynor who grabbed off the big
honor. That boy is ball player.
To my mind the greatest play of
the whole game came in the second
inning when he grabbed Ruels liner
and hung on to it. That ball had
"two-bagger" written all over it-and
l don't believe there's a man in the
league except Traynor who could
have got it.
Grantham's play on Goslin in the
fourth was a darb. too, and saved
Lee Meadows lot of trouble.
That's funny thing. Before the
series all the boys doped the Wash
ington infield to be better than Pitts
burgh and Pittsburgh to do the hit
ting. Yesterday it was the Pittsburgh
infield that did the fielding and
Washington did the hitting.
You never can tell about this base
ball stuff.
Another smart piece of work was
when Muddy Ruel caught Cuyler off
first base in the fourth. That was
the one chance Pittsburgh had. With
only one down and the speedy Guy
Ter up it wouldn't have taken much
to score a run and tie things up,
but Ruel was in there thinking
and he made as snappy a play or
Xxi" as / have seen this year.
SNYDER CALLS TURN.
There's q funny thing; few days
ago i happened to see Frank Sny-
der Of the Giants. I asked him what
he thought Of the series.

the Pirates woozy. And they never

Lee Meadows pitched great game,
too. He got one bad break in the. fifth

it and it was hit. If that ball hao

been out and the game might be going

SEDALIA, NO., Oct. s.-CR-
Selection of jury started today in
the trial of Everett Adams, Whining
ton. Ohio, youth, charged with the
murder of Alden r. Clawson, school
teacher of Lodi, New York.
At the opening of the trial. defense
attorneys moved that the charge be
quashed, contending that Adams was
only 16 years old when Clawson was
killed and that no information had
been filed in the Juvenile court. The
motion was overruled.
The county prosecutor had indicated
he would ask the death penalty.
