Most Senator's, however, prefer to
stick to their own desks and to speak
from them. The folks in the gallery
generally have no way to identify
them except by numbered charts of
the floor which are presented to them
and thus, if senators don't watch out
they are likely to have someone else

WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON the standpoint
Of official dignity, at least, Senator
oscar Underwood of Alabama, who
went out of political life with the
demise of the Sixty-ninth Congress,
probably will not be missed by the
president of the Senate.
Although Vice President Dawes
never made public comment about it,
he doubtless has been somewhat pain
ed by Senator Underwood's past dem
onstrations of unfortunate manners.
The veteran Alabama senator had
his own way of addressing the Senate.
Generally, when he spoke, he arose
from his front row seat on the center
aisle, stood in front of his desk and
faced the Senate with his back to the
gentleman in; the. chair.
To sticklers for senatorial courtesy
and all that, this was very bad form
But it always proved effective, for
it enabled Underwood TO utilize his
key point location to it's full advan-
tage, whereas if he had merely faced
the chair he would have had his back
to everyone else in the Senate. Some
senators have purposely picked the
more central, desks as the best posi-
tions from, ) which to deliver their
oratory

Congress has gone home, but the
offices of congressman and senators
continue to receive letters from back
home urging passage or defeat of the
radio bill, the McNary Haugen farm
bill or other legislation long since
disposed of. OF course these letters
sometimes they're kilograms grow
fewer and fewer as the news gets
around that it's all over.
A week after the radio bill had gone
to the president, Senator Mayfield
received II telegrams urging him to
vote for it and nine on, the day
following Most of them came from
Amarillo, where considerable static
apparently had been experienced.

Heflin and King speak oftener
than any other two senators. Heflin,
on his feet, is generally found to be
speaking aginst some of his enemies
or denouncing some measure. King
most often opposes some pieces of
legisltion and probably has opposed
more bills than any other senator.

Smith Gains in West

The recent conference Of Rocky Mountain and Pa
eihe Coast democrats at Ogden, Utah, which went on
record as favoring the candidacy Of Governor Al Smith
Of New York for the democratic nomination for presi-
dent, has aroused much comment in the Eastern press,
who see in the resolutions Of the conference an indica-
tion that the delegates for practically all western states
win be pledged for the New York governor.
Southern newspapers have not yet received this
festure of the western democrats with any appreciable
degree Of enthusiasm. Several Of the leading southern
daiIies which are frankly hostile to Smith, take the
view that the conference was not representative Of the
sentiment Of the rank and file of western democrats
and that its endorsement Of Smith should not be taken
as an index to the action that will be taken by the
party in the several states when delegates are select
cd.
Heretofore there has always existed a very close
bond between the Western and Southern democrats
and very little sympathy between them and the East
ern wing Of the party. In the 1924 convention the
South and West was almost 9 unit, but the East held
the balance Of power. II the Eastern wing Of the party
through Governor Smith, succeeds in securing the sup
port Of the Western democrats, the South will be a
hopeless minority, and will have little voice in the
convention, other tina INTO acclaim the nominee the
East and West may select.
While the majority Of Southern leaders are op-
posed to the nomination Of Smith, there are very few
of them who are irreconcilably opposed to him. Some
Of those who advocate the defeat of Smith at all costs
charge that the democratic leaders are willing to for
sake the party principles in order to win the election,
while they themselves would prefer going down in de-
feat 10 the sacrificing Of any principle. They assert
that Smith is not lin tune" with the ideals of the
West and South. They recognize the fact that he Is
the strongest candidate the party could place in the
field, but they are candidly pessimistic in regard to
his ability to carry on the principles Of the party and
remain loyal to those interests which they maintain
will give him their support in the East.
Eastern democratic leaders are apparently upper
turbed by the attitude Of the Smith opponents in the
South and are decidedly %jubilant over the action taken
by the western democratic conference. They assert
that though some of the southern states will oppose
Smith in the convention and will throw their vote TO
any other candidate who may be placed before that
body. Smith will be assured Of the electoral vote OF
those states after he is nominated. They take the
view that a fusion Of the Western and Eastern demo-
Gratis will be sufficient to nominate their candidate,
and that the "solid South" will not break away from
is traditional support of the democratic nominee.

THE WAY WITH THE PROPHETS
(Louisville Courier-Journal)

"A long-range forecast" by the Department Of
Agriculture, which Senator Harris Of Georgia said cost
the Southern planters 500, 900, 600, brought a threat
from him TO institute a congressional investigation
into the price-guessing proclivities Of the Bureau Of
Agricultural Economics.
The cause Of his wrath was a statement that
should the present estimate Of production be realized
and past relationship between supply and price pre-
vail, il is likely that prices will decline in the next
few months" The prediction barely crossed the tape
ahead Of m immediate slump Of $3.50 n bale on the
New Orleans market The author Of the prophecy,
however. was not overwhelmed with compliments on
its sudden and complete %fulfflment. II there were
any short interests TO be pleased. they have held their
peace, but there were shrieks of dismay and anger
from the cotton belt, which the explanation offered by
the Director OF Publicity Of the bureau failed to allay.
1t was, he said, a publication of limited circulation
intended primarily for economists and field agents.
T" A longrange forecast" in his estimation should not
apply TO the present market.
But, despite the "ifs" and conditional ~qualifica-
tons and the length Of the range, it probably did af-
feet the present market, whether meant to apply or
not. Some people, who contemplated long-range buy
ing, decided to hold off for lower prices, and magically
their wisdom was rewarded by sellers, who decided 10
let 60 before prices dropped. Together, they produced
the result forecast devoid Of all "ifs." Maybe the
present estimate won't be realized and a change in the
relationship between demand and prices may dveop.
In that event those who bought on the recession will
profit, and its range will be the most erroneous fea-
ture of the burau's forecast.
Crop estimates based on reliable field data and in
formation about stocks on hand, coupled with market
conditions affecting supply and demand, are valuable
to producers, but who couldn't have foreseen the jolt
Of q guess as to the future price Of cotton would hand
the current market for the Southern planters wares?

The World and All
THESE NEWSPAPERS

Jack knight, editor Of the Akron Beacon-Journal
was a visitor in my office the other day. We talked
shop, of course. knight is one Of the reasons why l
believe in American journalism. Critics are ready TO
tell you a thousand things that are wrong with the
newspapers. 1t is my observation that there are many
newspapers edited by intelligent men who are not only
willing. but anxious, to give their readeres better and
better material to read. and better and more devoted
service in promoting the interests of their communi-
ties.
When readers demand good reading matter, there
Is nobody happier than the newspaper editor. He takes
pride in making Of his paper q sort Of educational in
stitution, as well as a purveyor Of news.
Are the newspapers going to the dogs?
Well, l have been watching them closely for
twenty years. ! have never seen such a high average
standard maintained in editorial content as is maintain
ed today.
And advertisinsl The advertising Of today il easy
to read, and much Of it is highly entertaining. Some
Of it is downright informative.
Turn back through the old files, sixteen to twenty
years, in almost sny daily newspaper. Well, the less
said about the general run Of advertising matter in
the good old days. the better.
Telegraph news is better written and more reliable
today than ever before. Even the most modest news
paper in the remote town Of the plains or mountains
will tell you pretty accurately, and in good English,
where your favorite flyer is today, or where he will be
tomorrow. And, generally speaking, the country news
paper will give you the news just about as soon as the
New Workers get the news on Broadway. I look upon
this as one Of the most remarkable phenomena Of our
modern American life.
Jack knight was talking to me about plans for
serving his community better. Not about making more
money, mind you. The newspaper editors and pub
fishers are interested in making money. Of course, bu1
the subject they can talk ell night about is this matter
Of giving their communities better service. They want
to make their cities better places in which to live.
It's easy 70 criticize the newspapers. But / be-
lieve most Of them are the best and most progressive
things in their communities.

Those Texas legislators who are contemplating
the passage Of an automobile liability insurance meas
ure at the next session are virtully proposing TO sub
Kidize carelessness and compel the careful drivers to
pay the subsidy.
Proponents Of the measure take the view that the
passage Of a law Of this character would force the
reckless drivers to become more careful, but there Ia
no logic in the contention. II the reckless driver has
m insursree policy behind him to pay the bills for
damage he may cause 1t would not tend to have the
effect Of making him more cautious. On the contrary
he would virtually be relieved of all financial response
bilities in connection with his apparent desire to AFRO
gate to himself the sole privilege Of using the high
ways.
The careful drivers would be the ones who would
nav his bills. Under the proposed law they would be
compelled 10 take out the same amout Of insurance and
pay the same premiums as the reckless driver, and
would assume the financial responsibility for such dam
age as the latter may cause.
Our present laws make the owners Of cars re-
tponsible for any damage they may cause, and liability
insurance would make it no easier for the victims u
the reckless drivers TO secure judgment. The process
would be the same as now, with the exception that
when Judgment Is rendered the careful drivers would
nav the damages In the form of insurance premiums.
OF what benefit would this be to the victims, and In
what way would it have a tendency to suppress reek-
less driving on the highways?
What Texas does need is more strict enforcement
Of traffic and highway ordinances. the licensing Of
drivers, and the revocation Of the license for good
rause. A program of this kind would do more TO pro-
mote safety on the highways than all the liability in
suranee that could be passed.
Those who have driven the Texas highways realize
that ID Is time for the legislature to take some action
that will make the highways safer for the motoring
public. The speed fiend, the road hog, and every va
riety Of reckless driver is ever present on every high
way. The states headligt law is merely q joke; and
enforcement Of the crude and obsolete laws is almost
unknown in many Of the counties. The condition is
had enough without making il worse by forcing the
careful drivers. through a compulsory automobile la
bility insurance law, TO pay the damages caused by
rpecd fiends and reckless drivers whom the state per-
,nits to use the highways.
The people OF Texas have sought for years 10 i'm
rress upon the legislature the necessity which exists
for the passage Of laws which will protect the motor
ing bubble against the reckless driver. Several meas
ures have been passed and apparently were designed
more TO still the public elamor than to improve traf-
fc conditions. Possibly. IL these laws were enforced
they would prove Of some value. but like al other
compromise measures they are 50 unssientific and
srude that their enforcement is virtually impossible.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.~Who is
this Louis Henry Francisco Of San
Diego (Cal.) who appeared in Wash
ington a few days ago and pro-
claimed himself a candidate for the
Democratic nomination as president
Of the United States?
The news associations broadcast a
paragraph about him, which you
prabably saw, dear reader, and if so,
unless you happen to live in or Q a
San Diego, or have met Mr.. Fran
cisco somewhere by pure accident,
I'm not afraid to bet a good many
to one that you never heard of him
before in your life.
In all probability also, your reac-
ton to that paragraph concerning
him-if you took the trouble to
think anything about it at all-was
at least 20 wonder very seriously IL
Mr.. Francisco wasn't an o~ut-and-out
nut" Why? Why, for suggesting
such . ridiculous thing.
Well. that's what we wondered
here in Washington, too. Neverthe-
less, all Of US who had time were
sufficiently interested to 20 down to
Mr.. Franchises hotel to find out,
for sure.
The verdict was practically unani-
mou that there appears to be moth
ing "nutty" about him whatever.
He's a big, go~od-looking, middle
aged chap-the prosperous business
man type-he's in San Diego real
estate, he says, and used to be a
locomotive fireman and engineer. He
talks as sensibly and intelligently as
you please. As to his general get
up and the best estimate a stranger
can make OF his brains, he can give
cards and spades to plenty Of poll
t~iciana, some Of them in pretty good
jobs.
The really remarkable thing about
Mr.. Francisco is his nerve.
IL takes q lot Of IL for a non-pro-
fessional TO step into so ferocious a
limelight and risk being laughed at,
as he'sdone. The average individual,
even after screwing himself up to
the point Of doing IL, couldn't keep
q stiff upper lip.
For an aspirant with n pretty con-
siderable statewide reputation to
launch his boom among the home
folks, as a favorite son, might be
so startling. But to come right
down here 70 the capital and cut
loose without a mite Of preparation,
on a national scale-in q sober, ra-
tional person. like Mr.. Francisco,
apparently. III. going some.
Our San Diego-ite started his
