ROW ON
HUGHES
SPREADS
Western Democrats and
Republicans Unite in
Senate Battle
EXPLAIN REASONS
Friendliness to Corpora
tions Chief Point of
Opposition

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. W.H-
The fight of westerners of both pO.
litical parties to block confirmation
of Charles Evans Hughes as chief
justice of the United States spread
in the senate today, with Senators
Dill, Democrat, Washington, and
Brookhart, Republican, Iowa, pro-
testing against confirmation.
Before crowded galleries, but with
a small attendance of senators, Dill
and Brookhart made speeches con-
tending Hughes represented the
theory of government which would
exalt property rights above those
Of the people.
"You Democratic descendants of
Jefferson and Jackson and Repub-
lican descendants of Abraham Lin
coin are going to vote to put a man
on the court who breaches doctrines
which will overturn and destroy
practically everything jefferson,
Jackson and Lincol stood for" Dill
said.
The Washington senator used
Hughes brief as private attorney
representing the General Electric
Company in the WGY suit against
the government. He said that il
Hughes had his way as expressed
in this brief, "the people would not
own the air they breathe"
Brookhart contended one of the
greatest existing evils is the methods
| of fixing railroad valuations, 4
method endorsed by Hughes. He
| said the conditions of the farmer
| could be attributed in great part
to the high railroad rates under this
valuation scheme.
Many other senator's indicated
! they desired to talk on the Hughes
! appointment and there was pOssi-
! bility a vote would not be reached
today.
While the Hughes case was under
| discussion in the senate, congress
sional hearings on prohibition open
! in the house with a vigorous state
ment by Chairman Graham of the
house judiciary committee that free
dom of decision as to drink must be
f; restored to the American people.
Should Restore Liquor
Some method should be devised
which restores liquor without restor-
| ing the saloon system, Graham told
the large crowd gathered in a house
| caucus room fer the first cOmpre-
hensive hearing on prohibition ever
conducted by house committee.
Graham, 10 year old house veter-
an, is a wet, although he presides
over committee that has dry ma
jority, and always has been rather
Independent in expressing his opin-
ion on matters of this kind.
AS chairman of the committee in
charge of prohibition legislation,
Graham called the hearings on his
own responsibility two weeks ago,
surprising members of his own COM
mittee as we'll as the house. Five
members of the house who have in
troduced resolutions to repeal or
modify the 18th amendment were
summoned to explain their proposals.
t "There was widespread request
for hearings from proponents of the
| resolutions, hence hearing has
2 been ordered" Graham said.
r "This hearing will not interfere
r with President Hoover's law en-
] forcement commission, but rather
< will be an aid thereof.
The 18th amendment and the en-
S forcement law have been tested for
e 10 years without satisfactory re-
: suits"

MANILA. Feb. l2 U.P-Migra-

Filemon Perez, secretary of com

He said that the day after re-

Official records show that Filipino
emigration to the United States is

of both the United States and the

emigration.

STOCKTON, Calf, Feb. ~. U.p)
- Racial emnitv was famed into
flame here today in quarrel be
tween japanese and Filipinos, fol-
lowing closely upon the report from
La Verne Of racial clashes between

The cause of the emnity here is
the marriage of japanese girl to

scquent separation brought about by
the Intervention of the japanese
girls father.
Police guards have been stationed

tcrs. Authorities have taken every
preca utiOn to avoid an outbreak
similar to that between whites and
Filipinos several weeks ago.
Stapia organized Filipinos to boy
cott all japanese establishments with
the result that thosuands Of dollars
in trade has been lost to the Orient
cl merchants. The japanese came
back with ban on all Filipino en-
ployment.

She Says That Modern
~'. Women Are Thieves

Modern women are thieves.
They are stealing mems positions,
and are successful in keeping the
stolen treasures" declares Annie
Nevin, State College instructor in
secretarial sciences.
"The army Of more than $780,
600 women gainfully employed has
made its way into all but 35 of the
572 occupations listed in the cen
sus," states the W.S.C. teacher.
"Women hunt big game, they fly
continents and oceans; they ex-
plore unknown islands and search
for new stars; they write, manage
and produce dramas for stage and
screen; they make laws and en-
force them; they are firemen, fur
nacemen; glassblowers, brick and
stone masons, and lighthouse keep
ers; they turn the wheels Of in
dustry by the millions. They have
moved by the thousands out of the
low-grade, nnskilled places in in
dustry to every imaginable type of
skilled position.
"The answer today to the ques-
ton, "What can a girl do in bust
ess?' is vastly different from what
it was years ago. The present an
swer is very clearly stated in the
phrase, Anything she wishes!' u

Letters from the People


Kennewick, Wash, Rt. 1
Friend Oleander:
You and differ widely on two
points emphasized in your letter.
First, your comments about the
Independent farmers being as sue
cessful or more so than organized
farmers.
II don't know how long you have
lived in Kennewick. I've lived here
something over twenty-one years.
Gray hairs (figuratively speaking)
do not obtain mans reverence in
this generation, but do give him a
long perspective. There are rela-
lively few in this valley who have
experienced the thrill of selling
farm products to "Stuttering
Charlie" Collins. Perhaps a few
more who remember the days of
1916 when cooperation was begin
ming and cash buyers still held the
whip hand. Still more remember
1921 when we were in the throes
of one of those ridiculous CD CO.
operative failures when the old
gang thought themselves trans
cedant again. Ever experience
this stuff, Friend Oleander? Be-
lieve me, speak from experience,
Kennewick would have been all but
non-existant except for coopera-
ton. could write a volume sup
porting this contention and history
would substantiate every asser-
ton. And through it all those she'll
backed, Independent farmers have
hung, mill stone about the neck
of progress.
And again that cooperative pota-
to complex. You mention one in
stance involving six ton, age,
style or grade not specified. I'll be
generous and multiply your illus
tration by ten and submit that
even sixty ton does not amount to

just as hard and often as you have
perhaps more so. We have had
managers to educate-still doing
it. We had the hectic experiences

quent collapse. And worse than all
these, we have had a twenty year

cash buyer combination that lacks
only bloodshed and rape to make
it as sanguine as any war of his
tory. So when I have had to suf-

Now They Begin to
Pick on Red Heads

Strawberry blondes, arise and
defend yourselves! Ignominy was
torturous enough when people call
ed you "Carrot-Top" and "Red-
Head" But now the biologists
have begun to analyze you, and
are coming out with the statement
that "there is something peculiar
about the inheritance of red hair"
That is the declaration of R. L.
Webster, head of the department of
zoology at the State College, who
has made intensive studies Of her
edity and the bases of human in
heritance. DR.. Webster goes on to
say that the student of biology
will ascertain that red hair be-
HAYES as a recessive to black and
brown hair. That is, the mating of
two individuals, one Titian-haired
and the other dark-haired, will
produce dark haired children. New
ertheless, red hair is likely to crop
out in families ordinarily charact-
erized by glossy black hair, a cir
cumstance which is at present a
deep puzzle to heredity students.
