BAY SPAN
Will Seek q. s. Aid In Building
Bridge Across Chesapeake

Bridge Across Chesapeake
With the view of seeking
construction funds, the plan
for proposed bridge across
the Chesapeake Bay will be
laid before the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation in the
near future, Howard Bruce,
chairman Of the State commits
sion on the bridge, announces.
Pointing out that the cor
poration had funds at it's dis
posal for the financing of self
liquidating enterprises, Mr..
Bruce said he believed the pro-
posed bridge was within the
provisions of the COMPRESSION
al act that created the finance
group.
The corporation almost has
reached the stage where it can
begin to pass on requests for
loans. Many already are on
file.
Before any action can be
taken by the corporation, ad-
vice must be sought from en-
cheering experts and from
persons fully acquainted with
the legal and financial aspects
involving each request.
Various plans to connect the
Eastern and Western shores of
the bay with a bridge have
been under consideration for
some years. Several schemes
were presented in measures
placed before the Legislature
in 1929.
Three years ago Congress
authorized the construction OF
a bridge between Miller's Is
land and the Eastern Shore,
and since has extended the
time for it's beginning and
completion. Most of the plans
for the structure have met with
defeat because of the money
needed.
The commission headed by
Mr.. Bruce was appointed by
Governor Richie in May 1881,
in accordance with a resolution
passed at the previous session
of the Legislature. The reso-
luton called for a study by the
commission of the practicable
ity of a bridge over or a tunnel
under the Chesapeake.
The plan to lay the bridge
matter before the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation was
suggested by Mr.. Bruce when
that body was authorized. 1t
was allowed to remain DOR
mant, however, until Mr.. Bruce
announced the definite inten-
ton of carrying out the plan.

Deep-Seated Faith

IN several respects the atmosphere
l. appears Singularly unfavorable
to disarmament. With depression
on, with the war debt problem I'M
solved and with war threatened in
the Orient, people are in no mood
to make drastic moves in discarding
their traditional means of protec-
ton.
But if there were not deepseated
hope and faith back of it all, the
conference would have been aban-
doned, or postponed.
That humanity should be willing
to go through with it, in spite of all
the difficulties and discourage
ments, bespeakS the presence of a
new and powerful attitude.
No matter how diSmally the peace
movement may have failed in some
of its plans and efforts, one can not
review what has occurred during
the last fourteen years without be-
ing convinced that the desire for a
new order has been born.

It Seems There Was

THERE was once upon a time a
Il young Methodist preacher who
accepted a call to a city church.
He came to his new charge filled
with zeal and fire, and the senior
deacon visited him to talk over the
subject of the first sermon.
The preacher announced that he
intended to strike out from the
shoulder against dancing. The dea-
con wasn't much for that. Some
of the young folk were in the habit
of meeting in theiY own homes and
turning on the radio. 1t would be
just as we'll not to ALLEVIATE this
group.
Gambling was next suggested, but
that might annoy the contract
bridge crowd in the church. In
desperation, the young minister ex-
claimed, But what can I preach
against?"
Preach against the Moabites,"
said the old deacon. "Give 'em
hell; They haven't got friend in
town"
IL Deg1nS TO look as II we were
going to be in for MoabitiSh cam
paign this autumn.
"Will prohibition be the big
iSsue?" a reporter inquired, and Mr..
Baker answered, obviously not"
And that leaves out another ticklish
question which can cut both ways
in the matter of vote getting.
OF course, it won't be possible
to take out of politics the biggest
issue of all. We will hear great
deal from both Republicans and
Democrats about unemployment.
But that does not necessarily mean
that there will be intelligent discus
sion of its causes and the remedies.
Like Moabitisrn, this is a safe
issue. Nobody favors unemploy-
ment, so it will be entirely possible
for both rivals to denounce jobless-
ness on the same evening and lose
no votes at all. 1t viii be denounced
in ringing tones, and the successful
aspirant may merely be the one who
chimes more Sweetly on a national
radio hookup.

Utility Stupidity

The arrogant attitude of the public utilities OF
this state has reached the point of stupidity
When property owners are appalled, by the size
Of tax burdens when commodity prices have reached
the lowest levels for years, when more men are out
of jobs than before in history, the utilities take
the stand that they will continue to collect on vaua-
lions fixed at highest prices for commodities and for
labor.
The people know that the cost of utilities is in
reality tax on business and industry and tax
on the privilege of living. Modern life can not be
supported without electricity and telephones and gas
and water.
leading official of the bankers association pre-
diets reduction nationally, of 80 per cent in rates
during the year. In Indiana, the utility magnates
insist on no reductions whatever.
The history of utility regulation probably gives
them some reason to believe that they can continue
with their condscation of the peoples property.
What has been denied them by the public service
commission has been awarded by the courts. In all
cases. there been delay after delay in getting re-
lief so that they hope with some reason that the
protests hundreds of cities of this state can be
held up until the depression is over and normal times
return.
But that very attitude Of intolerance is causing
people to think about the utility problem and fore
ing conviction that regulation under present laws, is
impossible and that more drastic remedies must be
found to curb the greed of those who have been so
heavy burden even in prosperous days and an intol-
cradle burden in slack times.
The secret meeting of the officials and citizens
committee of Indianapolis with one member OF the
commission on water and electric rates for Indian
apos may have some results If it means that rates
are to be cut the public will be satisfied with secrecy
If it that there is to be no redress the pub
lie is entitled to know the reason for the secrecy inn
posed upon officials by the member of the public
service commission
The time has come to start real movement for
change in laws Cities must have the power to con-
struct utilities one way of escape. Cities which
now own their utilities must be free from commission
domination.
Above ALL the utility holding company, useful
system of collecting huge profits and unusual re-
turns must be put under official scrutiny.
The election Of a legislature and Governor free
from utility control and influence becomes imper-
alive if these stupid magnates insist being greedy
when all other business suffers

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

rs there such thing the curse of Eve? If So
n can name it for you 1t is that woman is doomed
forever to pick up after man. And each new free
dom she obtains adds to the difficulty and number
of her tasks.
In countless homes each morning women go
washing dishes putting away shaving things,
Strengthening the diSarray that men have made at
their matutinal rites
And in countless offices each evening other women
put away letters in files, gather up documents and
tie up the tangled threads of business that the DAYS
doings have sundered. And scrubwomen crawl upon
sore knees brushing ashes away, hunting down Gig
aret stubs and bits of paper carelessly scattered.
Yet these, my sisters the easiest of our jobs.
Today, when the governmental structure is topping,
and man, with reckless disregard for consequences

For here, too, without having been given voice

we stoop to salvage there, question in hearts
the wisdom of the male.

Still Need Police

THE thought that We can scrap
Il our armies, or that it would
be wise to do so if we could, is
chimerical. We are still a long
way from that ideal state of mind
where we can hope to maintain
order without a police force even
in small and highly intelligent COM
munities.
The problem of maintaining order
throughout the world rests on the
same fundamental principles that
apply to the village Of a thousand
souls.
Anti-gun-toting laws will help,
but not to an extent that solves
the problem. Primarily, they stand
for new and healthier idea of So
cial relations and responsibilities.
To that extent, they serve an es-
sential purpose, but no one should
accept them as an excuse to ignore
the larger task that still remains.
Disarmament, whether as applied
to little town, or to the whole
world, merely clears the way for
constructive action. At best, it is
a negative remedy.

IT SEEMS TO ME BY HE Ey94}s}

NEWTON D. BAKERS state
IN ment on national issues sug-
gestS to me that here is still an
other Democratic aspirant who
would rather be candidate than
candid.
1t is true that Mr.. Baker re-
affirmS his personal faith in the
League of Nations, but that it so
well known he hardly could afford
to deny it. And he does distinctly
suggest that the whole matter can
be left in allegiance, for this years
campaign at any rate.
In justifying this attitude, he ex-
plans that he wants to take the
league issue out of politics. But that
is precisely what all the prohibi-
ton pusSyfooters say in regard to
that problem.
It seems to me that the brilliant
gentleman from Cleveland has
added his weight to an extremely
harmful heresy. 1t is the custom for
presidential candidates to avoid all
contentious issues and to compete
in platitudes.

Japanese Insanity

In the Shanghai crisis there is one element of
hope The united front of neutral nations has been
re-established. 1t was broken first by the United
States in refusing to cooperate with the League of
Nations last November and more recently IT was
broken by the European powers in refusing to join
with the American protest to Japan.

anese imperialism or anything else that connotes
plan or thought. 1t is a case of plain madness Ger
tainly this Shanghai savagery can not possibly profit
Japan in any way.
On the contrary, it is turning the world against
her. And far from ending Chinese boycott it will
make Chinese hatred of Japan in the future almost
a religion.
Japan has outlawed herself That act carries it's
own retribution. No nation can live unto itself alone
Some day-maybe in month, maybe in a year.
maybe longer-Japan will come back and beg to be
respected and trusted again.
Then she will pay heavily for this madness Then
she will learn. as other nations have learned before
her, that her militarists destroyed her.
Whatever further insanity the Japanese mill
tarists may be guilty Of the United States should
not go to war against them. We have no mandate
to police the world We can not protect vast China
by force of American arms.
Nor can we preserve American interests by killing
Japanese Even If were victors in war, we
would lose more than we would gain
Patience is required of us now, more than any
thing else AS the worlds most powerful nation and

wait Soon or late, Japan must come to us.
When she does come to u.s. there is bound to be

several hundred additional coming

continues.
"This is a large number to be abb

whether industry can use so many

1t is apparent that the chemical

years ago are to be found in these
fields, according to Professor White.
