When we began preaching pros pecting as means for solving our own local problems we had no idea how far our words would carry and how the idea would take root. in the nation.
 Even President elect Roosevelt is doing it, with Vice. President elect Garner variously in the guise of the pack animal and assistant. Congressmen who have hitherto sat upon the back benches like warts on a pickle, their presence becoming known only through She roll-call, have shouldered their picks and begun seeking leads.
 Unlike our Alaskan aristocrat, the new administration is confin- ing it's activities to prospecting in the various departments for holes thru which national revenue has been leaking like a sieve. What were small leads or string CTS banning a few col0rs have de- veloped into bonanzas which rival the Alaska Juneau. Here are a few of the stringers struck: Items involving expenditures of $100,000 or more;

SPAIN BAT Tiles
CRIME WAVE

MADRID, Sept. 8. U.P) The
crime wave IN Spain continues up
ahated while police and civil guards
are trying 10 figure out how to
check bomb outrages, murder, ana
theft.
Statistics of crimes of social or
political character during The first
six months of 1888 reveal l02 deaths
and 140 woundings. Bomb cxplo-
sions are said to exceed $50, while
police confiscated over 500 bombs
and large quantities of small arms.
The violence of the crime has
aroused the department of public
safety to action. In the south Of
Spain, a small group of citizens ap-
pealed to police for action against
banditry.
Some of the recent crimes in
cluded:
Barcelona finding of a Is
pound bomb in a private hcme.

4OC0 pesetas worth of jewelry in
a hotel. A Communist in village
in Caceres province stabbed wo-
man eight times because she
would not join the Communist
movement.
Seville-a French engineer was
ambushed and shot as he was COM

an engineer was robbed of $4,000
pesetas worth of jewels.

ton with consequent adverse effect
upon wages.
To cope with the need for improv-
ing mass purchasing power the
NRA is considering two well spon-
sored proposals:
l. Inclusion in approved codes O.
an agreement that the percentage
of final selling prices attributable
to wages and cost of materials shall
not be reduced below the same per
centage FOR the previous year or
years.
2. Establishment of price control
boards, operated in each industry
and with central coordinating ma
chinery
|, The control board would study
the price ratio Tor individual con-
Germs in each industry and see that
each industry does not reduce the
percentage of its income going for
materials and into pay envelopes.
Looking toward gradual improve
ment in business conditions, the
control plans now being discussed by
administration officials provide for
increases in the expenditures for
materials and wages as expeditions
ly as possible.
This pumping out of more and
more money throughout industry is
vital part of the whole recovery
program.

PRICE CONTROL is PROBLEM
OF NATIONAL RECOVERY PLAN

Copyright, 1888, by United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. Deep
concern over price questions mas
arisen within the National Recovery
Administration.
Attention was focused today up
on the necessity-if purchasing pow
or is to be enhanced through the
recovery movement-of keeping the
prices of finished goods from in
creasing at greater speed than farm
prices and wages.
Action Of the NRA consumers
advisory board in opposing all price
fixing provisions, with the excep-
ton of certain natural resource in
oustries, brought the problem to
definite crisis.
The disputed bitlminous coal cCde
contains provisions for arriving at
fair prices. Differences of opinion
exist regarding use Of the price fix
ing provisions of the oil code. The
problem is also an issue in the re-
tail code now being put into form
for presentation to President Roose-
welt.
The price question involves both
the question of profiteering and the
desire for safeguards against exor-
bitant charges, and the question OF
cut-throat competition which fire.

Officials of the state departments
of education and agriculture have
embarked upon joint campaign
to restore the shade of the old ap-

Potentially one of New Eng

Though celebrated in song and
story, the shade of the old apple
tree has "gone souri, in the public
mind, DR.. Potter asserted. "When
we think now Of apple trees, we
think of spoiled fruit on the
ground and flies and caterpillars
in foliage overhead,' he said.
He and the agriculture depart
ment have issued a statement urg-
ing state program of "apple tree
aesthetics, including frequent
.ake-ups of fallen fruit, destruction
of moth nests and scraping OF trunk
