Measure Ahead

Washington, May 27.-(P)-Senator
Reed CRep.. Pa blocked an attempt
in the senate Friday to obtain an
agreement to vote on farm relief leg
islation before the adjournment of
congress.
Senator Nye (Rep, N. Dak), asked
for an agreement that the senate
would not adjourn until it had voted
on the McNary omnibus relief bill and
the Frazier refinance measure.
Reed objected, saying Il don't think
any senator has right to ask for
such an agreement for a single mea-
sure. when the senate calendar is
clogged with legislation"
Nye appealed to Reed to withdraw
his objection, but Senator. Bratton
(Dene., N. NJ. said he would object If
Reed did not, for the same reason that
the Pennsylvania had.
Senator Howell Rep.. NebD, then
made his daily plea for farm relief
legislation.
Senator Frazier Rep.. N. d. later
read to the senate excerpts from let
tiers and pamphlets received by him
from Henry I. Hartman, Boston, re-

LEADERS SUGGEST
IDENTICAL PLANKS
IN TWOPLATF0RMS
Plan is to Eliminate Prohibition
From Campaign by Ad-
vance Agreement
SCHEME MEETS OPPOSITION
Vets and Drys Both Willing
Provided Declaration Suits
Their Ideas

Washington, May 27-(P-Respon-
sible leaders Of the Republicans and
Democrats are canvassing the pos
sibility of both parties uniting Or
identical prohibition platform de-
clarations.
Two conferences have been held,
one in New York and another here.
but the movement admittedly has not
gotten very far. 1t is unsatisfactory
to the militant vets and drys of both
parties.
Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania,
high in Republican councils, Endorsed
the proposal. Senator Robinson, of
Arkansas, the Democratic leader, also
concurred.
Senator Dill of Washington,
Democratic prohibitionist and promi-
nent in the campaign Of Governor
Roosevelt of New York for the presi-
DENTAL nomination, advocated it as
a means of fighting the 1882 cam
paign on the economic issue.
In 1852 the Wings and the Demo-
Gratis tried the same proposition on
slavery. Identical declarations were
adopted by the two parties on that
burning controversy.
Leaders of both sides in the prohi-
bition contest have said: All right.
If you accept our proposal"
Il should like to see the prohibition
question lifted out of partisanship."
said Robinson, but frankly don't
see how 1t can be DONE"
Il hope it can be DONE" said Reed
II think it would be fortunate II We
could meet the serious economic is
sues without the prohibition problem
at stake"
Whether President Hoover or any OF
the Democratic presidential candi-
dates have been approached or taken
a part in the Observation-Disclosures
conferences Is not known.

PRECIPITATION IS
NEARLY NORMAL IN
MANY PARTS Nd.
Weather Bureau Figures Show
Bismarck District is in
Favored Area

Rains throughout the state during
the last two days have brought the
months precipitation to nearly the
normal mark for May in many Sec
tons, data compiled by o. w. Roberts,
federal meteorologist here show.
The Bismarck, Devils Lake. Fessen-

The deficiency reported by eight
stations up to Friday is less than

month. Eight stations reported de-
ficiences Of over an inch.
Roberts said that during the fou<
days remaining of this month, it Is
possible sufficient rain will fall to

MITCHELL ON
LABOR BILL

Attorney General Mitchell was
aSsailed by Representative La
Guardia (R) of New York today
for his letter to President Hoover
anticipating as unconstitutional
some features Of the Norris-La-
Guardia anti-injunction act which
the President signed last night.
LaGuardia said:
"The Attorney Generals let
ter to the President indicates a
preconceived prejudice against
the rights of labor and inexcus-
able ignorance of the bill. "he
fact that the President signed
the bill would indicate he did
not think much of the AttOr-
ney Generals opinion.
'The veiled invitation con-
tanned in the Department of
Justice letter to disregard the
law is a bad example for the
law officer of the United States
Government to set. That bill
means exactly what it says and

insult OFFICIAL
SAYS MERGERS
BENEFIT PUBLIC
Public Ownership Would
Entail Higher Taxes,
Students Told.

BV United Press
GREENCASTLE, Ind, March 10
Utility rates are low and mergers
have been beneficial to the public
De Paw university students were
told here Thursday night by c. v
Sorenson.
Public ownership of utilities
would be bad for everybody, he
said.
Sorenson is an official of the
Public Service Company Of Indiana,
one of the insult utility holdings in
Hoosierdom. He appeared to pre-
sent the utility viewpoint" in a
series of four lectures on the sub
iect of utilities staged as an open
forum at the school.
These meetings have been ar
ranged by Professor w. A. Neis-
wanger.
Mergers Sound, Contention
Mergers, Sorenson said, neither
are political nor financial, but are
based on sound economic principles.
Customer interest in good service
and the steady lowering of rates
produced the merger of today, he
contehded.
General rate levels are lower than
any time in history and the average
for privately owned plants is lower
in Indiana than for public owner
ship, he asserted.
we are told the per capita cost
Of government has increased more
than tenfold in the last thirty
years." Sorenson said. yet every
day we hear more proposals to put
the government in more lines of
business, which means more proper
tY withdrawn from the assessment
rolls and greater tax rates levied on
what is left.
Hits Government Ownership
1T may be that the government
should operate all business on a
non-profit basis as some would have
us believe, yet up to the present
there has been no outstanding bust
ness success on the part of the gov
eminent to make the average bust
ness man feel that it can do a
better job than he is doing.
IF the millions of dollars of util-
ity property now taxed in Indiana
we're withdrawn from the tax rolls
by virtue of municipal operation the
taxpayers would have their choice
of paying higher rates on the prop
crty left or paying utility rates
that would make up the difference.
1T is significant that today the
average total rate for twenty cities
in Indiana having municipality
owned plants is higher than the
average for all the cities.
utilities Turn Now"
To-day We hear and read much
about the utility industry. Appar-
entity, in the cycle of evolution,
through which all business must
pass. it is now our turn to stand
inspection.
THE railroads have had it. SO
have the farms, telephone compa-
MES, chain stores, union labor and
the coal industry. All have taken
their turn. Have they been helped,
or has the public that deals with
them been aided?
In times of stress, hySteria,
rather than common sense, is apt to
govern our judgment and work Sc
rious harm for the future. 1t be-
hooves us, therefore, to base our
program on facts"
