tarati3n on the subject BY the
Democratic party, Senator Robin
son said.
"While rare cases Of fraud may
he regarded as unavoidable in any
business comparable in volume to
that OF the United States, it be-
comes a matter Of general political
concern when the party In power
proves so derelict as to fail to pre-
vent shocking and repeated depar-
lures from standards of common
honesty in the transaction of the
public business" asserted Sen
ator Robinson.
II the principle enunciated in the
Republican platform had been ap-
Piled by the Republican admins
tration 1t would have been unnec-
essary for the Serate to advise the
discharge of an Attorney General
"who had flagrantly disregarded
the obligations of his Office and
contributed to the pollution of the
fountain Of Justice" Senator Rob
inson continued. "The country
would have been spared the spec
tacle of an executive sustaining
this faithless officer until public
sentiment compelled dismissal, and
the dismissal would have been
made without expression Of con-
fldence in the faithless officer by
the chief executive" he said.
Smiths Record
Likewise, he went on, there
would have been no necessity for
the Senate to urge the retirement
Of a Secretary of the Navy who had
approved the contract by which
the oil reserves were given to pri-
yate interests through the bribery
Of fellow cabinet officer, the Sec
retary of the Interior.
"Throughout almost four terms
the Democratic nominee for Presi-
dent has served as chief executive
of New York" Snator Robinson
said. During all his service the
searchlight of hostile scrutiny has
been thrown in full glare on his
administrations. That Governor
Smiths record has stood the test
Is evidence of that extraordinary
executive ability and fearlessness
REQUIRED in President of the
| United States, who Is expected to
safeguard the Government agalnst
such thieves and crooks as have
plundered 1t during recent years
In conclusion Senator Robinsc
said: 1.-THE safety Of our politics
institutions depends on fair elec
tions and honest government. Yo'
NAV never expect clean govern
ment II nominations or election
are to be bought and sold. o.
course, such methods do not meet
with approval by the majority o.
the Republican party. Many Re
publicans condemn the Indifference
of their leaders to the ignominious
record mentioned-a record which
never could have been made II the
watchmen on the towers had not
| fallen asleep.
"The Democratic party invitea
the cooperation of all who desire
the administration Of national a.
fairs reformed in accordance with
the principles set forth in It's plat
form.

Arouse Prejudices

The quadrennial contest pre-
sents an inspiring spectacle when
conducted with high standards of
ethics, Senator Robinson said. But,
he continued:
Numerous political serpents are
Kissing in the dark and striking
from cover, and with venomous
malice seek to poison the thoughts
and arouse the prejudice of those
who will decide issues Of far-reach-
ing importance"
The spokesman Of a party has
dutv to tell the whole truth, he
added, but she proves himself un-
worthy If he knowingly accepts
advantage from falsehood, even
though not uttered or inspired by
himself"
Senator Robinson characterized
the attitude of the two parties with
respect to the agricultural prob
lem. the outstanding issue of the
campaign. Both platforms recog-
nize the distressed condition and
hold out promises the relative
value of which is apparent, he said.
| The Republican party in 1924
gave virtually the same promise 1t
gives this year, Ito take whatever
i steps are necessary to bring back
a balanced condition between ag-
/ riculture. industry and labor" SEN
/ ator Robinson asserted. However,
the McNary-Haugen bill, prepared
under the direction Of Secretary OF
Agriculture Wallace had just been
| defeated and TO regain the con-
| f;dence of the farmers President
! Coolidge, in the 1924 campaign
promised to call conference to
consider legislation for the next
Cor ngress.
The doctrine which Mr.. Hoover
| has adopted originated from the
conference which followed, Senator
Robinson said. This doctrine pro-
vided that agricultural production
should be limited to the demands OF
the domestic market "and with
only such foreign markets as may
be profitable"
Generally the fundamental need
is a balancing of agricultural pro-
duction to our home demand
The 69th Congress passed the
| McNary-Haugen bill, with vote
of 81 per cent of the Democrats and
So per cent Of the Republicans, he
said. President Coolidge vetoed IT.
In the last session after 1t had been
modified to meet some Of the OBJ
| jections to 1t, the bill was pass
again with increased majorities
Again the President vetoed 1t.
"These facts prove that the Re
publican party is either incapable
of successfully dealing with the
question or has deliberately vio'
lated it's express promises to the
farmers of the nation" Senator
Robinson declared.
Mr.. Hoover now asserts than "an
adequate tariff Is the foundation OF
farm relief" that inland water
ways must be developed to assist
the farmer and cooneratiye market.
Nogales international., 1928-09-04

ing must be stimulated by the ex.
tension of federal credits, Senator
Robinson continued.
Increased tariffs can afford no
relief, he argued, and the farmer
will scarcely wait for the develop
ment Of waterways. If cooperative
marketing is the solution why has
the administration failed to apply
1t, he asked
In contrast, he said, the Demo
cratic party recognizes the principle
of distributing the cost OF control
of surplus crops over the marketed
units whose producers are benefit
ed. The party further recognizes
"the right of farmers to lead IN
the development of farm policies"
and that adequate credit facilities
and better administration OF the
farm loan system" must be assured
in the interest Of the farmers, Sena-
tor Robinson said.
I'VE repudiate Mr.. Hoover's pro-
posal to limit farm production TO
/ the domestic demand, as calculated
to belittle, rather than to encourage
the great industry Of agriculture,
! he said.
'If a more equitable and execu-
tive plan than that comprised by
the equalization fee is discovered,
! 1t should be adopted" Senator
! Robinson continued. The time
has come, however, when an eco
nomic adventure is justified in be-
half of the millions who engage In
that industry without which civi-
lization could not survive. The
Democratic nominee for President
has committed himself to prompt
and decisive action in accordance
with the principles outlined in our
platform"

ator-eiect William S. Ware of Penn
sylvania, whose action in swinging
to Mr.. Hoover at Kansas City was
largely responsible for the nom
nation of the Republican candi-
date, was elected on a platform
containing a single plank, the re-
peal Of national prohibition.
"Can 1t be said that because Gov
ernor Smith believes that, without
returning to the old evil of the
saloon, temperance and respect for
law can be promoted through
changes in the existing system, he
is a nullifcationist and an enemy
of the Constitution? he asked.
"Such arguments imreach the in
telligence of their authors" he de-
clared.
Senator Robinson continued:
Having in mind that the law
or enforcement of prohibition has
,een discredited because good
'aith efforts have not been made

asserted that a breakdown Is

! On the subject of the Merchant

serted:

they can be transferred under sat

Grafton, the service should be kept
efficient and should be improved to

President-elect Hoover's proposal this
week to create $4,000, 100000 State
and Federal construction reserve fund
to stabilize labor and industry Is All
other indication that the building in
dustry is still considered to be one OF
the most important factors in our eco
nomic welfare.
With an annual expenditure CT
$1,000, ,000000 upon construction, OF
which about $500. 100000 is for pub
lie buildings, the Importance of this in
duStry is apparent. Many million peo-
pie depend on construction directly and
countless others depend on it indirectly
The reserve fund proposed by Hoover
would safeguard the whole country By
providing one of the best forms CT
insurance against panics such as we
have witnessed in the past, according
to Gov. Ralph o. Brewster OF Maine,
one of the most enthusiastic supporters
of the plan.
Possibilities of Plan.
"It may not be a cure-all but it GER
tainly will alleviate our Ills" said Gov
Brewster. I'm some measures it is pos
sible to do for employment what the
Federal Reserve System has done fol-
finance and with equal advantage tc
the country as a whole"
It is believed plan such as pro.
posed by the President-elect will not
only spread out construction more
evenly from year to year, but that II
will also do away with much OF the
seasonal fiuctuation which may be seen
in the above chart. This chart repre-
sents graphically the monthly value oi
building contracts awarded as compiled
Evening star., 1928-11-24

by the r. w. Dodge Corporation. These
figures. although they represent but 80
per cent of the country's total awards,
are generally considered by far the
most accurate available.
Two barometers may be used in
measuring the amount of building in
progress. One of these uses figures
Of actual contracts awarded, as in the
above chart, while the other uses figures
of building permits granted. AS the
granting of a permit to build does not
necessarily mean contracts will be let,
and as the permit figures are not COM
parable for different localities because
of local differences In classification, the
value of contracts awarded Is preferred
as barometer.
The sharp seasonal variations are
we'll inllustrated in the chart. Building
operations expand rapidly during March
which is usually followed by a recession
until Midsummer or early Fall when
operations again take squirt upward.
The closing months Of the year ordi-
narily witness a rapid decline In build
ing operations.
Record Year Indicated.
In spite OF a decline of more than
seasonal severity this Summer, 1928
will unquestionably SurpaSs all previous
years in value Of contracts awarded.
Up to November contracts let amount
ed to $5,724, ,000, 900, compared to So
359, 900 900 for the same period OF 1927
which was record year.
Record building operations in 1928
with the resultant demand for labor,
steel, cement, lumber and all other
component elements, help in explaining
this years business activity which In
turn caused the tremendous rise in
security values.

ADJUSTMENTS

A new step in children's plays, devoid
of the disappointing elements so often
found in presentations of this type
opened at the Wardman Park Theater
last night. The first play was "Kings
of Nomania," charming phantaSy
with finish that made the evening
enjoyable for adults as we'll as children.
1t will be repeated this afternoon and
evening.
The drama and list method was above
expectations. 1t possessed the qualities
of subtlety which amuses all and had
the atmosphere which envelopes all OF
us when we read fairy stories. There
were kings and villagers, counts and
gendarmee, colorful landlord and a
youthful gang. There was none Of the
stiff -jointed movement and unattenuat-
ed speaking which so often gives plays
of this type an air Of amateuriShneSS.
even when performed for the youthful
audiences by professionals.
The series is under the direction OF
Jane M. Ogle, Glenna Smith Tinnin
and Katherine S. Brown and Is in
tended to give plays which will thor
of both young and old. The directors
have realized that children are the
most sincere and ungracious critics
and the result has been that this series
is designed for their benefit, In the
belief that what is good enough for
them certainly will be entertaining to
their elders.

RAZES 400 HOMES
1000 Persons Without Shell

MANILA, November 24.-Advices that
several thousand persons had been
made homeless and hundreds of homes
destroyed in the typhoon which has
ragged through the south central part
Of the Philippine archipelago for two
days were received here today. No
deaths have been reported.
A dispatch to the Bulletin from Le-
gaspi. Albay Province, said 1000 per-
sons we're homeless and that 400 dwell
lings and seven wharves had been de-
stroyed as the result Of a 100-mile-aIl-
hour gale. A big landslide at Mayon
Volcano. short distance north Of Le-
gaspi, also was reported.
Relief Measures Planned.
Red Cross headqurters here made
preparations to launch relief measures
in the event that later information in
dicated such need.
A bad storm was reported by Cebu
on the island Of that name, but advices
from there said no outside aid was
ueGueu. 1lOllO, on IIle 1SldLlu VI Z hAldy
likewise reported storm.
Communication lines we're down in
other sections believed to have been
touched by the storm. The government
weather bureau reported that the
southern part of Luzon Island and the
northern part of the Island of SamaI
probably bore the brunt Of the storm
and that the damage there undoubtedly
had been heavy.
Fear for Safety of Ships Crew.
The fate of the Japanese steamer
Saka Maru, which went aground on the
Island Of Masbate soon after the storm
struck, remained undetermined here
and fear was expressed for the safety
of her crew. The vessel was almost In
the direct path Of the typhoon.
A high wind prevailed in Manila to-
day and electric service was inter
rupted, but otherwise there was nc
damage in the capital.

GARNER IS FACING
CHO|CEO OF POSTS
Minority Leadership and
Ways and Means Commit
tee Up to Texan.

Representative John N Garner of
Texas, in line for minority leader of
the House to succeed Representative
Finis j. Garrett of Tennessee, must de-
eide whether he prefers the leadership
to continuing as ranking Democrat on
the ways and means committee, which
carries with 1t the chairmanship of the
committee on committees for the
Democrats.
With a tariff revision bill In prospect
it Is serious question whether Mr..
Garner will be willing to surrender his
important post on the tariff drafting
committee. He has leanings toward a
protective tariff such as was advocated
in the recent campaign by the new ma
tional leaders, Smith and Raskob, and
for this reason some tariff -for-revenue
Democrats are hoping that Garner will
reltnquish his ways and means post.
Representative James w. Collier Of
Mississippi is next in line for this posi-
ton under the seniority rule.
Committee on Committees.
AS chairman of the committee on
committees for the Democrats, Mr.
Garner has deciding say on the
appointment of all the Democratic
members to the various committees.
AG Is OBVIOUS LIldJ ILLS Is a POSITION
not only of prestige and power but of
responsibility, which will not be re-
linquished except after mature con-
sideration.
Mr.. Garner Is now in Texas, busy
with the special campaign expenditures
committee. His opponent in the pri-
maries filed charges of improper ex-
penditures and then dropped them. but
Mr.. Garner insists upon a thorough in
vestigation. His decision as to whether
he will accept the party leadership in
the House awaits his return here.
There is no known opposition.
Successor to Oldfield
Coming in to the short session the
Democrats will select a new whip to
succeed the late Representative William
A. Oldheld. Representative Joseph w.
Byrns of Tennessee, ranking Democrat
on the appropriations committee, and
Representative Robert L. Doughton of
North Carolina, member of the ways
and means committee, are being urged
for this position. which is one of great
responsibility and entails more hard
work than honor. The whip has the
job OF reconciling differences of opinion
among members on party measures and
policy. seeing that they are in the
chamber to vote and to vote right on
such questions as involve party policy
or expediency Whoever is elected whip
for the approaching short session will
undoubtedly be reelected whip In the
