LEGISLATORS DRAW
S16,0)O IN MILEAGE
congressman Could Collect
Even if Sessions Ran
Together.
BY WILLIAM RUFUS SCOTT.

Nine days adjournment of Congress,
from tonight until Monday noon, De-
cember 2, will cost the Government
about $175,000 in mileage charges for
the members. or at the rate of slightly
under $4,000 a day during the recess.
However, if the special session had
continued right up to the regular ses-
sion the members still would have been
able to collect the mileage without hav-
ing left Washington, under what Is
known as a constructive" adjourn
ment. The Interpretation of the Coli
Stitution regarding sessions makes a
positive break between them, no matter
how close together they may be.
1t might have appeared less juStl-
fable to collect mileage where two seS-
SionS run into each other. The nine
day adjournment gives an actual clos
ing up of shop and possibility of going
home before beginning the regular
session. That members of Congress
give considerable weight to the mileage
item as an augmentation of their liz
comes is not disputed.
Those living near Washington, in Viz
ginia or Maryland. naturally do not
care much, if anything, about the pay
ment, which is at the rate of 20 cents
a mile coming and going from the men,
bers home. The law requires that the
member take the route usually traV-
eled' in a direct line to reach Washing
ton. That prevents roundabout travel
ing that would increase the mileage al
loWance.
In continental United States men,
Der from California draws 81 800, which
is the largest allowance. This is paid
whether or not he leaves Washington.
By taking airplanes, members could re-
turn home and get back at the opening
of the regular session to Pacific points,
and even might make the round trip
with a day to spare by train.
For the representatives of the Phil
ippine Islands, who have the salaries
and perquisites of members of the House
of Representatives, but who cannot vote,
a fiat mileage allowance Of $4,000 from
Manila to Washington is the largest for
outlying possessions, the distance being
1000 miles. For Hawaii
$500.
In defense of the mileage, even when,
as at present, the special and regular
sessions are close together, it is eX
planned at the Capitol that many men,
bers of the House actually had gone
home pending action by the Senate on
the tariff bill and that they feel they
are entitled to the allowance, not only
constructively, but in fact. A number
of House members have remained in
Washington and like many Senators
will not go home between now and the
opening of Congress on December 2.
Normally there are 435 Representa-
ives and 90 Senators to be paid mileage,
but some vacancies due to death, resig-
nation and other causes will reduce
the total to 531, slightly and to that ex-
tent cut the cost to the Government.
The money was appropriated for mileage

MOONEY CASE UP
TO PAROLE BOARD
Governor Indicates He Will
Abide by Decision of Cali
fornia Officials.
ny the Associated Press.

SACRAMENTO, Calf, November %
The fate of Thomas j. Mooney, who
for years has protested from a prison
cell that he Is innocent of the 1916 Pre-
paredneSs day bombing in San Fran
cisco, which killed 10 persons and in
jured many others, rested almost entire
ly Dday in the hands of the State Pa
role Board.
Gov. C. C. Young indicated he would
let the decision of the parole board be
the final word in the case when he re-
quested yesterday that it investigate and
recommend action on MONEYS pardon
appeal.
Gov. Young said he had been blocked
in a personal investigation by the I'M
willingness of witnesses to give informa-
ton and also said he had been unable
to form an opinion after months of
study.
Billings Case Studied.
While the State Supreme Court con-
0iderS the case of Warren K. Billings,
convicted with Mooney for the bomb
blast, the pardon board, consisting of
Attorney General u. S. Webb Lieut.
Gov. H. L. Carnahan, James johnson,
director of the department of penology,
and Wardens Court smith OF Folsom
Prison and James Holohan of San
Quentin Prison, will be studying the
Mooney case.
Billings has asked the Supreme Court
for permission to appeal to the governor
for pardon.
Gov. Young has expressed satisfaction
I'm the turn of affairs brought about by
Billings move. He has felt that the
Billings and Mooney cases were paral-
ael and he has studied together the
transcripts of the cases. They dovetail
IN many instances, he said.
Courts Authority Cited.
The governor said the Supreme Court
and pardon board would be able to
make Roadway where he had failed, be-
cause they could issue subpoenas and
compel the attendance of witnesses and
Che production of documents.
Meanwhile, he will continue his own
studies and investigations.
The studies by the Supreme Court,
pardon board and himself will take
some time, the governor said, but 1T
will be time we'll spent"
Entirely irrespective of whatever
other crimes may be charged against
Mooney and Billings, if these men we're
not guilty of this particular crime, to
keep them in prison would be an in
effaceable blot upon the good name of
the State" said Gov. Young.

GARDEN
PREPARATION

All Of the old-time gardening books
and treatises lay great stress on thor
ough and very deep preparation of the
garden soil. Many of these were writ
ten from the English viewpoint and
based on soils that are naturally very
deep and fertile. To apply this deep
tillage to our local soils, especially those
that have only 6 to 10 inches of top
soil above the gravel, would be very un-
wise, because there is obviously no pur-
pose In turning up gravel subsoil to
cover the better topsoil. So in sug-
costing depth of spading one can very
well advise about the length of the
teeth of the spading fork. This depth
allows good chance for the young
seeding to become established and does
not, as rule. turn up any of the poor
quality subSoil. Surely the old-time
gardeners were hard task masters for
themselves when they felt it necessary to
dig out two feet of soil In preparing
asparagus and rose beds. Admittedly
some OF these treatments would be ideal
II one had ample manure and good fer
tile topsol with which to refill the
pits, but at the same time are not at
all necessary to produce good crops.
The plant food that was buried deeply
and with such laborious effort can be
supplied from the surface and upper
soil layers with almost If not equally as
good success.
In Spading the soil it does not suf-
nee to simply turn over the clods one
after the other in the manner of q
pillow because the home gardener has
no harrow to follow his spadiig. One
should choose a time when the soil
is moist, but not saturated and sticky,
so that when a clod of soil is struck
with the spade 1t viii crumble into
small fragments. This breaking of the
clods Is the home gardeners substitute
for the harrow. After the soil has
been spaded further preparation de-

one of these is In itself sufficient re-
ward for the added effort.

GARDEN
ARRANGEMENT

In planting the vegetable garden, and
the flower garden, too, for that matter,
the gardener should have some sort of
plan in his mind or, better yet, on pa
per. II Is not good management TO
scatter long season and short season
crops and tall and low growing plants
hither and yon IL one wants good re-
suits In production and In appearance.
The old style gardens were often laid
out in beds; the modern gardener leans
toward straight rows, which afford OPP
pOrtunity for the use of tools In cult
waiting and require less OF the back
bending, hand wedding that always ac-
companies beds of plants Rows should
extend the full length or width of the
garden. This does not mean that the
gardener should always plant an entire
row Of any given crop. Beets, carrots
and parsnips, for example. may be In q
single row. Tall crops, such as sweet
corn and lima beans, should quite
obviously be placed so that they win
shade low growing plants as little as
possible. Furthermore, a garden in
which the tall crops are grouped to-
gether is much more attractive than
where no arrangement exists Rhubarb,
and other long-life plants
should occupy space at one side of the
garden SO as to interfere as little as
possible with preparation Of the garden
and culture Of the annual plants.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-04-06
GARDEN TOOLS

Probably as a general proposition the
average home gardener buys altogether
more tools and equipment for the home
garden than are actually needed. Tools
are. of course, essential to successful
gardening, but there is no need Of q
separate tool for each individual task.
The professional gardener, for example,
may use his hoe for dozen tasks be-
side that of killing weeds. notably such
tasks as edging walks, opening burrows
and thinning out plants In the row. The
number and variety of tools should de-
pend primarily on the size of the gar
dening enterprise. There would, for in
stance, be little use for seeder or wheel
hoe such as shown in the accompany
ing Illustration in the small home
garden. On the other hand, In the
large suburban garden of half acre or
more, these types Of machines are quite
invaluable as labor and time savers. A
small home garden can be managed
very well with q spading fork, hoe, rake
and trowei and perhaps simple hand
weeder, totalling net over 81 of invest
ment, and which with care will last all
most indefinitely. Rotary culttvators,
push hoes and the like are alright for
the large garden, but they would not
find enough use In the small garden to
justify the purchase.
Considering the half-acre garden or
over that is to be cultivated without
horse or power labor, seeders and wheel
hoes are distinctly an asset Indeed, 1t
would be impossible to care for such
gardens without their assistance. Thus
