MANY ANGLES

pv JIMMIE K. BROWN

u
wasbington's Twenty second
ssss;on of its State Legislature is
.v.v IN a cloud of dust, in a sit.
!. tine which promises to go down in
history as the transmitting" gath
, ering.
Taxes are going to hold the at
tention of the law makers for the
neyt sixty days, and virtually ev-
erv bit Of legislation which drops
into the hopper is certain to be
tinted to some extent by the tax
question.
IN fact the session should devel-
on into one of the best ever held
in the state if the political ambi-
t;ons of the members who have
been inocculated with the bee for
running for office, don't get con-
troll.
Pick aup any of the proposed
Legislative programs. They can be
divided roughly into two groups,
those wanting more offices and
more money to spend, and those
seeking ways and means of curb
inc growing costs of government.
One of the peculiar things about
all legislatures is the inability of
a logical, hard-headed, careful
thinking man to think straight af-
ter he has once been sworn in as a
law maker.
If the legislature would just
keep in mind three important
things, curtailment of expendi-
lures, the necessity of encouraging
investments in development of re-
sources and industry with private
capital, and the less new laws, and
: adhere to these, the 1881 session
would stand out as one, if not the
best, the state ever had.
Politics are going to be played
during the session. The Republi-
can State convention in session at
Bellingham enunciated legisla-
tive program, demanding an.
amendment to the direct primary
law. This amendment would permit
the parties to nominate slate of
candidates and file this slate as
the county choice. This proposal
represents one school of political
thought. Another school will de-
mand blanket primary bill, tina.
Is q measure which Will place all
candidates, Democrat, Republican,
Communistic, Socialists, and what
not. on the same ballot, so that a
Socialist can go into the polling
place, vote for the socialist candi-
date for one office, Democrat
for another, etc, in making nom
nations.
Then there is the new ballot
idea, one which would do away
with the party columns on the bal
lot at general elections, SO that all
candidates for any specific office
would be Jumped under one head.
These proposed amendments are
gong to create considerable fight.
Every prospective candidate for
future office is going to lean so
close to the ground before takinq

CURTIS BLOCKS
MOVE TO MAKE
C. 0. P. MOIST
denomination Will offer
AH-Dry Ticket, Standing
on Hoover Record.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The
movement to advance an eastern
opponent Of prohibition as Presi-
dent Hoover's running mate next
year apparently has been thwart-
ed by the decision Of Vice-Presi-
oent Curtis to stand for renomi-
nation.
Inc announcement of Curtis that
ne would accept denomination is
taken by Republican leaders gem
orally as insuring his selection by
the national convention.
In that case Republicans would
go to the country with an all-dry
ticket.
This would upset the plans Of
some eastern Republicans, who have
felt the party should make an APP
peal to the anti-prohibition states
such as New York and New Jersey
by nominating for President
an outright enemy of prohibition
such as Theodore Roosevelt, now
Governor of Porto Rico.
u. ". L. Stands on Record
They favored this on the expec-
tation that the Democrats would
name an -prohibitionist, who
by combining the south with sew
eral big anti-prohibition states in
the north might endanger Repub-
hcan success.
Curtis was named in 1923 because
of his appeal to the farm states,
particularly in Kansas where he is
extremely popular, and because of
his popularity among certain old
line party leaders who originally
were hostile to Hoover.
A Hoover Curtis ticket also would
emphasize the administrations in
tention Of standing on its own rec
ord, without any switch of candi-
dates to appeal to different sections !
of the country. Curtis spent almost
the entire 1923 campaign on the
road, concentrating on the farm
states.
denomination Unprecedented
The main theme of the Repub-
lican appeal will be to stand by
the Hoover administration in its
effort to conquer the depression,
and not change horses mid-stream.
denomination of Curtis would
break a Republican party precedent
It never has repeated on vice
presidential candidates. 1t also
would counter to the tradition with
regard to age.
Curtis would be n years old when
he finished a second term. The Gus
tom has been to select younger
man, in line with the practice which
favors a man in the f1ftieS for
President.

MARYLAND HUNT CUP
Brose Hover, Winner Last Year,

Grueling Chase.
By the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, April 25.-Soissons, the
Flying Horse Stables Stool shot, rid
den hard by Jack Skinner, won the
thirty eighth Maryland Hunt Cup
steeplechase today, leading Brose Hover,
the favorite, by nearly so yards at the
finish Of the gTuelling course.
scissors and Brose Hover were the
only two Of the seven starters to finish,
all of the rest failing to rise after spills
which started at the second of the %
jumps of the 4-nile course.
Despite a drizzle, a crowd estimated
at nearly $4,000, including sportsmen
from all sections of the country, saw
the race, outstanding Of its kind in this
country.
Brose Hover made a gallant effort to
win for his owner Benjamin L. Behr,
Chicago, the Ross w. Whistler Chal-
lsnge Cup, which must be won three
times to become permanent possession
of any racing stable. He went down on
the second jump, throwing his rider,
Crawford Burton, who remounted to
finish.
Bon Master, whose owner. c. L. A.
Heiser, over whose estate the race was
run. also had two legs on the cup, went
down and out on the eighteenth jump

followed closely by Sea Soldier, another
Chicago horse, owned by A. H. Niblack.
The twentieth Jump, however, proved
too much for them, both hitting the
timber and going down, refusing to
rise.
1t was here that Scissors, the Boston
horse, took the lead. The winners time
was 0 minutes 92s seconds. much
slower than the record of minutes
So 3-5 seconds set by Brose Hover last
