Our WASHINGTON Letter
By EDaley


Washington, May s, 1929.-Though
there has been no discussion in Con-
gress and relatively little publicity
regarding the proposed Federal reg
ulation of communications, it is pri-
vately predicted that the agitation
over this legislation will reach nation
wide proportions before the next ses-
sion convenes in December. Senator
Couzens of Michigan, chairman of the
senate committee on Interstate Com
merce, has decided to hold hearings
on the measure that he has sponsored
for the creation of a commission on
communications, to regulate telephone,
telegraph, and radio.
The effect that this further extern
ton of Federal control over business
would have is easily noted as this
commission would have powers SIM
liar to those the Interstate Commerce
commission has over railroads, in
Guiding valuation, rate regulation, and
security issues. This last item is
something that is troubling the bank
in utilities, who have been able to
steer reasonably clear of various state
regulatory commissions through
strategems, but have real problem
in Federal regulation. The Couzens
proposition is in reality governmental
regulation of public utilities.

EASTERN SPUD
MARKET HIGHER
Shipments OF Storage Stock Shows In.
creaSe.-WiScOnSin and South
eastern Minnesota Lower.

(By U. S. Bureau Agricultural Econ
omics)
AS the supply of good eastern pota-
toes diminished, f. o. b. markets were
showing considerable strength. Sharp
price advances occurred in Maine,
New Work and Michigan. A range of
S125 to S1.30 per hundred pounds pre-
vailed in western New York shipping
sections and sacked stock reached
S1.20 to $I.45 in northern Maine.
Country dealers in Michigan got as
much as S5c. but shipping points in
Wisconsin and southeastern Mime
sofa were lower than during late April
at 55c to 75c Only light supplies re-
manned in northern Colorado and the
f. O. b. price there was firm at S5c to
Csc. The Chicago carlot market de-
clined considerably to level of zoe
to 9Oc on Northern Round Whites, soc
to S5c on Red River Ohios and 50 to
1925 on Idaho Russets. On some days
there were 300 or more cars of old
potatoes on track in Chicago. East
ern potatoes were holding firmly in
terminal markets at a jobbing range
of $1.40 to $500.
Shipments of storage stock in
creased further to 1920 cars, or 600
more than year ago. Principal
sources were Maine, the north-central
area and Idaho. Colorado forwarded
only 100 cars, Idaho decreased slightly
to go, but about LILO cars came from
north-central states, and 945 from
Maine. New York and Pennsylvania
together shipped only 800 cars.
Movement of new potatoes decreased
to 1880 cars largely because of the
close of the season in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley. Shipments were start
ing in Mississippi and South Caro-
lima. With Florida still moving $50

Fitting Tribute
Paid La Toilette
Many Prominent Men Attend
Unveaang of Statue IN
Hall of Fame.

The statue of Robert M. La Toilette
now rests in the nations hall of fame
with those of Washington, jefferson,
Jackson, and other immortals, thus
rightfully giving recognition to a one
time foremost champion of the COM
mon peoples cause.
The La Toilette statue, carved by
10 Davidson, famous American sculp-
tor, was unveiled recently before a
crowd that filled to capacity Statuary
Hall in Capitol building.
1t was as touching testimonial as
has ever been given to an American
leader. Old comrades and admirers
of the late senator from Wisconsin
came from far and near to pay hon.
age to his memory. And here and
there were men who had been his
fierce political enemies.
Hayden Tells of Philosophy.
DR.. A. Eustace Hayden of the Uni
versity of Chicago, said, LA Follette's
philosophy was linked to one prin-
ciple, that directed by knowledge and
good will, government should be the
instrument of human progress.
"He was indeed the expression of
a new humanist in government" said
DIR. Hayden.
'He found himself always down
among the people because the prob
lens were there. He was battling for
the poor, for the worker, for those
who were oppressed, for everyone
about whom the entanglements of an
increasingly complex civilization
were weaving their web"
Blaine Presents Statue.
Senator John j. Blaine of Wiscon-
sin, presented the statue in behalf of
his state and pointed out that each
state was entitled to two places in

Wisconsin, made many years ago, be-

county as he has been several times
mayor of st. Paul and is known as
very eloquent and entertaining speaker
as well as poet and newspaper man.
His services are in great demand
throughout the country and it is only
fortunate that the American has been

ASKOV LEGION TO
GIVE PRIZES TO
BALL PLAYERS

The Jens H. Jensen post of the
American Legion at Askov, at their
last meeting, decided to award prize
to the individual player on the Askov
baseball team, who finishes the 1929
baseball season with the highest bat
ting average, and also prize to the
one with the highest fielding average.
Prizes for similar feats were offered
few years ago at this place and in
voked such interest among the players
that it was decided to again offer the
inducement. The averages will be ar
rived at by taking the number of
times at bat or the number of at
tempts in the field computed with the
number of hits and the number of
catches or perfect throws i'm the field
on the basis of 1000. For instance, if
a player is at bat 100 times and he
makes so safe hits, his average will
be 500. The prizes, it was announced,
will be worth striving for and since
both the batting and the fielding
divisions of the game will be en-
braced, it will be interesting to watch
the progress of the contestants
throughout the playing season.
Legion to Conduct RefreShment Stand.
As was done last year, the Askov
Legion post will again conduct a re-
freshment stand at the ball park dur
ing each home game so that the pub
lie may be served with whatever they
want in the line of soft drinks, can
dies, chewing gum, etc.

A fund of 100000 now is being
raised to make possible this greater

issued a proclamation designating the
present week as Greater Minnesota

and local committees in communities
throughout the state are busy raising

ticularly the larger bankers whose
crease their influence over industry,
are frankly disappointed in Mr.
Hoover. Apparently cautious only in
lending money, these banking groups
were prepared to go forward on an
extensive program of consultations
and mergers assuming that the pro-
posed liberalization of the Sherman
Antitrust act would have the sup
port of the President. They have
awakened to the fact that the Pres
ident is not so friendly as big bust
ness leaders imagined.
During the last few months as Sec
rotary of commerce, Mr.. Hoover warn
ed business that the blame for the in
creasing governmental interference
with industry could in many instances
be placed squarely on the shoulders
of business itself. In other words,
Mr. Hoover resented the growing de-
mand in business for governmental
aid in projects which he construed
were solely for the attention of pri-
vate enterprise. The signs are I'M
mistakable that the patience that Mr..
Hoover manifested at the errors of or
ganized industry in his close study as
secretary of commerce cannot be ex-
pected to prevail as the President of
the United States. In other words.
