washington. July 23.-Mere m
bassadors may be enough to satisfy
such elderly millionaires as Charles
G. Dawes and Dwight Morrow, but
the really ambitious federal job
seeker will go hunting for a post as
an American High Commissioner.
An ambassador parks himself in
q foreign capital and usually be-
comes little more than a glorifled
messenger boy. But when an Ameri-
IAN High Commissioner goes any
where he goes there to run the
whole show. He has the rank Of an
ambassador and he ranks as the
senior officer present at all times.
There is no more powerful Ameri-
can outside this country than an
American High Commissioner. IL
is perhaps the nearest modern APP
rroach we have to the old Roman
pro-consul.
These Jobs Are Scarce
Unfortunately. there are very few
Of these jobs to be had. There never
were ver.' many and the only High
Commissionership now in force Is

since 1922. The chances are that
General Russell will hold his job
indefinitely. but there has been
some agitation for his replacement
by = civilian, SO it may be a good
tip to job-seekers to suggest that
they sound out President Hoover.
One recalls only two other High
Commissioners within the past two
decades. Sumner Welles was made
High Commissioner to the Domin-
lean Republic several years 6 and
served two years. committing be
tween Santo Domingo and Wash

The other was Rear Admiral
Mark L. Bristol who, as High Com
missioner to Turkey. was one of
the most important figures in the
Near East during the postwar
period. Bristol co-ordinatcd our
policies and looked after American
interests in that section of the
world and proved himself a diplo-

rrrtvarsstv Regent r. L. Bats appeared before the
members OF the senate finance committed. He tolo
the lawmakers that Texas oil should pay a great part
of the state expense. In other words, he said that
the oil drawn daily from the soil Of Texas should
bear a greater portion Of the cost OF state govern
ment. This is the Bats argument, in part:
"The states wealth is growing at a more rapid
rate than its population, and we should spend the
money necessary to maintain the states institutions
in the degree OF comfort to which its citizens are en-
titled. We no longer are a small state In wealth and
population. The earth under Texas daily Is providing
100000 barrels Of oil. That Is one OF the states prin-
cipal resources and It belongs to us. Why should we
not take from II a large portion Of the expense OF
government?
The tariff is passed on down to the consumer and
the farmers pay for the cost Of increased freight rates.
They can bear no greater burden than they are bear
ing, and the states institutions must be maintained
In such a way that they can do real service"
Very direct, to say the least. A senator from the
west asked q question. He wanted TO know II Regent
Bats had outlined q plan or would outline a plan OF
procedure. He was given a direct answer. This is
what the regent said:
Il have suggested no plans, but I have pointed out
that when $l,O00,OO0 worth Of wealth is being extract
ed every day from our soil It should be made TO 60
a long way toward paying the expense of government
For one thing I should say that the severance tax
should be made larger. The resources are ours. The
problem is ours and surely there are minds in Texas
that can solve the problem"
There is a measure pending before the American
congress providing for a tax on foreign crude and re-
fined products. 1t has the backing Of Sens. Thomas
and Pine Of Oklahoma. The bill was introduced by
Rep. Z. 3. Howard Of Oklahoma. Headquarters have
been opened at the Hotel Raleigh in the city Of
washington. Howard Is said to represent the indie
pendent operators and the Mid-Continent Royalty as
ISOLATION. Rep. w. W. Hastings OF Oklahoma is an
other hacker Of the bill. Independent oil operators
in Texas and Oklahoma are said to be back the meas
ure. Foreign crude comes largely from Colombia and
Venezuela. although Mexico has been a large shipper
IN ether years.
Texas is a great oil producing state. Many of the
university lands are oil bearing lands. There are
many acres OF public school lands oil producing lands.
This for the edificatlon and information Of all con-
rerned.

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT G. PLUMMER

WASHINGTON. May Sit being spring Gin the
DRY only, for the skies were overcast and the wind
was as cold as on any day in winter-we went to the
first major league baseball game Of the season in
washington.
Not alone for the game. but also because the Pres
ident and Mrs. Hoover-with q big part Of washing
ton o-fficialdom-would be present, and we were In
terested to see how they take their amusement.
As far as tn Herbert Hoovers were concerned
Judging from what we observed. they take It quietly
Neither the president nor the first lady kept O sore
card Of the game. Hoover sat with his overcoat turn
ed I'D around his throat and his hands burrowed deep
in his overcoat pockets. Mrs. Hoover applauded and
smiled when Washington scored or made a good play
Hoover did not.
Both proved themselves fans early In the game
Mrs. Hoover had a bag of peanuts IN her lap. The
president kept his eyes glued on the plate. where no
bit Of action was lost to him. And they both remain
ed the full nine innings. thereby setting a precedent
HOOVER HEAvES GOOD ONE
Hoover smiled broadly when he threw out the first
ball and forced Umpire George Moriarty t. Jump into
the air to catch 1t. Mrs. Hoover. too. enjoyed the sit
uation and smiled her appreciation Of her husbands
ability to throw a ball.
The first lady had brought along wraps as added
protection from the chilly weather. Before the end
Of the second inning she had wrapped her knees in
a green steamer rug. The third was hardly under
way when she bundled a heavy black fur coat over
her plum colored cloth one. The president found his
gray ulster sufficient.
GOOD LENDS A HAND
There were four cabinet members in the Hoover
party. Secretary Good was the only one who took
part in the opening ceremonies. Walter johnson re-
quested him to lend assistance in pulling the flag to
the top Of the pole.
Secretary Mellon. Secretary Davis and Secretary
Hyde lent their presence to the affair.
Mr.. Mellon experienced a little difficulty in get
ting into the park. After the president and his party
had entered park officials and police threw q Gordon
about them. Mellon was cut off for q while, but IL
nally was rescued by Maj willis Crfttenberser. aide
to the secretary Of war. The treasury secretary sat
ungloved and throughout the game put on and took
off a pair Of nose glasses watching the plays.
Mrs. Charles Francis Adams. wife Of the navy Sec
rotary, appeared TO be the only score card keeper
among the cabinet group. She noted each play care
fully throughout the game. We saw nobody else
who did.
Vice President Curtis wore a muffler in addition
TO his winter overcoat and watched the game quietly.
He, too. experienced q little difficulty before the game
started. due to an usher getting his scat confused.
