Tendency to Rush

gram of Work

WASHINGTON. Dec. 14.-LF,-
The senate went to work today with
some Of its members. particularly
the vets. still c~huckling over an
event OF yesterday.
The treasury-postoffice appropri-
alton bill had already passed. when
Senator Bruce, democrat, Maryland,
proposed an amendment raising the
funds for liquor law enforcement
from si3. SOC, 900 to s~270.627.3s4. 1t
vas accepted, apparently few know
ing what had happened. When the
realization came the vets laughed
and the drys took comfort in the be-
lief that the Bruce addition would
be stricken out in conference. since
the added appcrtionment would up
set the governments fiscal program

The senate began this sessions
legislation in lamb-like fashion. but
it may sweep through its program
like a lion before adjournment
comes. The treasury-postoffice bill
has been disposed Of handily and
Boulder Dam has succumbed 10
amendments and compromises until
the vote on II was looked upon as an
assured thing.
The house also was nearing a
vote on the second of the a%ppropria-
ton bills, that providing funds for
the interior department and the az
ricultural department appropriation
bill has been whipped into shape un-
I'll IL was about ready for the floor.
Two senate committee hearings
commanded attention today. One was
on the Kellogg-Briand treaty by the
foreign relations committee. The
ether, whihc began as the consider
alton Of the nomination Of Roy o,
West. secretary of the interior, had
branched off into what resembled
another oil inquiry. Beginning with
questions asked West about the re-
newal of the Salt Creek royalty oil
lease to Harry r. Sinclair. the COM
mittee later called DR.. Hubert Work,
secretary Of the interior when the
contactr was renewed. and today
William J. Donovan, an assistant
attorney general, had been sum-
moned 10 testify.
The senate foreign relations COM
mittee has had two brief hearings on
the Kellogg-Briand pact and began
the third with the prospect that res
ervations might be offered.

SAN BENTTO, Dec. l4.-The i'm
portsnce Of voting a bond issue Of
100000 which will not increase the
city's tax rate one cent. bat which
will result in keeping the tax rate
from being raised was emphasized by
Mayor j. Scott Brown in discussing
the bond issue which is to be voted
on on December IL.
The issue is for $3.50. 1000.
or this total 100000 will be used
to retire bonds in that amount voted
several years sEo. and drawing in

The additional $4,000 will be v.u-
fit from the retiring Of the six per
cent bonds. and issuance Of five and
one-half per cent bonds, the mayor
pointed out.
an other words" Mayor Jrowr
said. 'the city will be taking in
$4,000 in six per cent bonds, and
putting out in the place Of them
100000 of five and one half per
cent bonds and the difference in in
terest Will be sufficient 20 enable
the city TO issue $4,000 more
bonds, and pay the interest on the
SlsO,OOO IN bonds with the same
money that is now eing used to
pay the interest on $4,000"
Mayor Brown said that the $4,000
is to be used for some sewer and
road work THAT Is necessary. and
that failure 10 vote the bonds al
this time will result possibly in the
commission being forced to increase
the tax rate. due 10 the continued
high interest rate. and the necessity
for some improvements.
or the total Of $4,000, approx
mately $4,000 will be used for
street work, ard $4,000 for sewer
work.
There Is no pronounced opposition
70 the bond issue. according to TIE
mayor. but lit is necessary that ev-
cry taxpayer Of the city study tn
situation, convince himself that it
would be a great mistake for the
city 70 do other than refund these
bonds. and then 20 70 the polls De-
cembsr IL ard vote in favor OF the
issue. so that the vote will be large"

thusiasm prompted Mr.. Hoover 20

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
BY MEHRAN X. THOMSON.

People who are inclined to worry over
the future are told not to cross their
bridges before they come TO them. OF
course. this Is only another way of say
ing, Don't worry. don't be disturbed
over matters that are a long way off
and may never really cause any
trouble"
But why should 1t be necessary to
give such advice In the first place?
Why do We cross our bridges before we
come to them? What Is there in hu-
man nature that leads us to worry over
future events? Creatures Of imagina-
ton and foresight cannot help but look
ahead. The popularity of the fortune
teller shows that we are not content
with knowing the present and imme-
date future, but are eager to see
long way off. We borrow trouble.
This worry, however. is a wholesome
thing II 1t Is not carried too far. 1t
stimulates man TO mobilize his re-
sources. to meet the emergency even
as you and must look ahead and plan
to meet the next months rent. This
is merely the part Of wisdom. 1t is
foresight and preparedness. 1t helps in
the struggle for survival. the struggle
to keep from being put out in the street
at the end Of the month. But. unfor-
