cheney. But, like all other parliamentary
countries, there was much talk and no
results.
The Fascist government in the six
years of its existence has constructed
or has in the course of construction
Water-power developments which will
release the country from two-thirdS of
the burden of purchasing its entire coal
supply from abroad.
Countries which are blessed with
oVerfiowing wealth can afford to per-
init certain measure of inefficiency in
government. Expansive fields yielding
plentiful harvestS. coal and ores to be
mined and metals everywhere make
wealth with government. That country
possessing them will certainly get along
despite the kind of government it has.
1t is where there is need to watch the
little uncultivated plots of ground, to
help harness the wasted power of the
streams, build communications when
private enterprise cannot take the risk,
to save what little there is and use that
little to the limit that the highest eff
cheney Is needed. There Is where a
practical government is necessary,
There is where a responsible organiza-
ton must function. responsible to the
nation for its accomplishments.
Such an organization can most ef-
fectively work only through responsible
ity commensurate with authority. Au-
thority must be vested in men. When
there are many, responsibility can be
shifted the one to the other When
there Is one. both authority and re-
sponsibility are hxed, and that man
must render his accounts in an un-
selfish and unswervinRly impartial
service for the good of the entire ma
ton. His good will must be measured
equally with the power he has the great
privilege of WELDING.

Same Month for Second

PIebiscite Interferes.
The pending Young plan plebiscite IN
Germany and the approach OF the
Christmas holidays, in the view of
French government officials, make 1t
out of the question to convene the

On the other hand, it is considered in

til after the naval parley because Of
the necessity of getting the evacuation
of the third Rhineland zone under way
in time for all troops to be withdrawn
by June 80.
If they convened on January 8, The

cerned might in the end decide to hold
the sessions elsewhere.

The Hit ruling strikes from the
record all actions since August 26, and
leaves the truck in the possession of
the Government where it was On that
date, when the confiscation order, turn
ing the truck over to the Treasury De-
partment, was signed.
In the hearing yesterday the records
were thoroughly gone over and read to
the court by both Attorney Whelan and
Assistant United States Attorney Har-
old w. Orcutt. During the testimony
Whelan accused Orcutt of desiring to
keep the records muddled. BE sure
that, you do not say. that again, Mr..
Whelan." Orcutt warned. The hearing
was interrupted by frequent clashes be-
tween these two attorneys.

chief clerk at Police Court, in regard
to accusations made Friday that other
court records are missing, denied that

Reports that DIR. Jose Vasconcelos,
candidate of the anti-re-electionis
party in Mexico, intends to resort to
revolution II defeated in the presiden-

on his behalf last night.
Evaristo Paredes, special representa-

Reports from Ell Paso published in

effect that, if defeated in the presi-
dental elections on Sunday next, the
anti-re-electioniSt, or opposition party,
of which DR.. Jose Vascanceles Is the

are absolutely false, as Senor Vascance-
los is sternly opposed to the employ
ment of force in any form in the at
tainment of political ends
The popular support in favor of
VaSconceloS and which will be felt and
manifested at the polls, is SO strong In
number and quality that it will be
unnecessary to resort to armed reve-
luton to force respect for the will of
the Mexican people on this occasion"

SUSPECTS SEIZED
WITH NARCOTICS

j. S. INSURANCE
DIVIDEND GAINS
First Increase in Rate to Be
Granted by Bureau to
Veterans.

The $7300.O0O allotment by the Vet
erans' Bureau for dividends on Gov
ernment life insurance policies next
year includes the first increase in the
actual dividend rate ever to be granted
by the bureau, it was learned last night.
The slight increases which policyhold-
erS have been receiving heretofore have
been due wholly to interest on the pol
icyholders'S portion of the reserve fund.
The increase in rate which was au-
thoriZed yesterday by Director Frank
T. Hines amounts to a general average
increase of about 16 per cent in the
present rate. The bureau, however, ac-
cording to the accepted business prin-
ciples OF insurance, is going to give the
most benef1t to those types Of insurance
experience shows warrant the biggest
increase.
Dividend to BE AppOrtiOned.
The dividend will be apportioned diff
ferently to various classes of insurance
under this policy, It was learned. But
the actual amount which each indi-
vidual policyholderS will receive will
have to be computed on his own in
dividual account. This will depend on
the rate of dividend for his group, his
own age, the length of time he has been
paying premiums, and consequently the
amount of money he win have paid into
the insurance reserve fund. Conse-
quently, it was explained, no detailed
table could be made public which would
serve as a guide to each policyholder
TO show him how much of an increase
he would receive.
The apportionment to dividends
amounts to an increase in cash of ST.
050,000 over the allotment for the year
1929. The new apportionment will be-
gin to be paid effective January l, 1890,
and each policyholder will receive his
dividend on the annual date of his
policy.
Policies Yet Available.
The dividend declaration by the
Government on its life insurance was
interpreted as further demonstration of
the desirability of Government insur-
ance, which still is open to veterans
under certain restrictions. New busi-
ness in Government life insurance con-
tinueS to come in, and it is expected
that many more new policies will be
written.
During the present calendar year,
ending December 81, 1929, it was esti-
mated by officials yesterday the total
claims to be paid against Government
life insurance will be $22,275,000. And
after paying this sum in claims, the new
dividend will 60 into effect.
Premiums Are Explained.
Premiums on Government life in
surance, 1t was explained in an Of
ficial statement by Gen. Hines, are the
met rates, according to the American
experience table of mortality and in
tereSt at 3l2 per cent per annum, and
include protection against total and
permanent disability without limit as to
the age before which disability must
occur, for which there is no additional
premium charge"
Considering the benefits granted,
this premium rate affords protection
at a low cost, which is reduced still
further by the dividends allotted. and
should be gratifying to the holders of
Government life Insurance. it is added.
