OMAHA. August 26-With speed the
first consideration, the State Advisory
Committee OF the Public Works Ad-
ministration held preliminary hearings
this week on the North and Middle Loup
power and irrigation projects. They
are broad enough in scope to put $500
men to work. Their representatives told
the committee that 1000 homes IN
Greeley, Custer. Loup. Sherman Valley
and Garfield Counties would be saved
from foreclosure in the immediate
future if the land is made productive
through irrigation
The projects contemplate paying part
of the cost of irrigation by the sale OF
power in communities scarcely served
at all under present conditions.
Cost Of the two projects, the most
ambitious SO far considered, will ap-
proximate s5,0OO,000. The two are held
not inconsistent with the Government S
farm adjustment program. because
alfalfa and sugar beets, of which there
is an undersupply in the country,
would be the principal Loup Valley
products.
These projects said former At
torney General c. A. Sorensen, could
not only solve the Loup Valleys whole
unemployed problem, but also would
double the population in these six
counties"
Unofficially it has been said that this
project and s5,000.000 project to use
the water in the North Platte River
near Sutherland for similar purposes
have BEEN examined by Federal engi-
neers out of Washington and found
basically sound.
The State Advisory Committee SO far
has approved more than dozen nunic-
ipal projects, each comparatively small
but designed to care for unemployment
situations.

Announcement is made of the purchase
of six saw mills in the Black Hills Ma
tional Forest and the Harvey Forest by
the Government, which is taken to in
dicate that Civilian Conservation Corps
workers will be kept in the Black Hills
during the Winter months, as a part OF
the industrial recovery plans OF the
Federal Government.
The mills, which are being actively
operated by their former private own
ers. are manufacturing lumber which
will be used in the construction OF bar
racks and other buildings for the &C
commodation of the Civilian Corps
workers.
A recent report shows there now are
2,400 men in the Black Hills reforesta-
ton camps, six of which are situated in
the Black Hills National Forest, with
headquarters at Deadwood, and six in
the Harvey Forest, with headquarters
offices at Custer The work done by
the men has consisted of thinning the
forest growth of trees, highway and
trail improvements within the forest
reserves. water conservation and re-
moval of dead timber.
Wood Is Being Distributed.
The plan to distribute wood from
the Black Hills conservation camps to
prairie sections of the State, as relief
measure, already has been put into
effect. This wood, which originally was
intended for needy people of the Black
Hills and the immediate vicinity of the
Black Hills only, will be shipped to all
parts of the State and distributed among
people who have no means for purchas-
ing their Winter fuel supplies. Twenty
carloads of this wood already have been
assigned to Aberdeen and other cities
and towns in North Central South Da-
kota, and large consignments will be
sent to other localities in Eastern, Cen
trail and Western South Dakota.
Public works projects entailing an
aggregate expenditure of more than
$I,5O0,00o in six South Dakota cities
and towns have been approved by the
State Advisory Board Of the Federal
Public Works Administration. The ap-
proval is subject to examinations as to
the financial condition of the places in
vclved and the engineering feasibility of
the projects.
The public works program, as IS well
known provides that the Federal Gov
ernment will pay 80 per cent of the
cost of the projects and the cities and
towns involved the other 20 per cent

the Senator on this ground he may be
able to cause him trouble.
Incidentally another matter has Just
arisen in State politics that may give
added fuel to these flames. tn head
of the Ohio parochlal schools has ap-
piled t. the Legislature for share OF
the common school funds. on the
ground that due to the depression the
funds with which these schools have
been supported are exhausted and the
schools will have to be suspended un-
less assistance is granted; and If they
are closed TIE pupils that have
hitherto been cared for in the paro-
chials will be sent TO the public
schools The latter already are over
crowded. and what is nov a serious
condition will be made still more Seri-
Gus.
Legislative leaders asked Attorney
General John W. Bricker for an
opinion as to whether public school
funds could be so diverted He re-
piled that to do so would be uncon-
stitutional Advocates of the proposi-
ton are not inclined 70 accept this as
final and the controversy RACES. The
Democrats. having not only the State
administration but a majority in both
branches OF the Legislature. are in no
position to dodge responsibility.
Gov. White this week appointed
former Congressman William B. Fran
els of Steubenville to the State Civil
Service Commission to succeed A. P.

White is to adopt the policy of for

Speeding up its action, the State Public
Works Advisory Committee took the
spotlight in North Dakotas recovery
campaign this week.
Meeting at Jamestown with State high
way officials, it was asked to intercede
with the Federal authorities to obtain
changes in road-building specifications
which must be made if farm labor and
teams are to be used in constructing
feeder highways.
Later, at Devils Lake, it announced
that a test case would be made in Sar-
geant County, which suffered COM
piete crop failure. 1t was estimated
that 1000 families will be on relief
rolls there unless employment on the
highways IS provided.
Presented also for consideration were
the Missouri River flood control project.
estimated to cost S60,000,o00, and a
Mouse River flood control plan adyo-
Gated by citizens of Minot.
The huge Missouri River plan pro-
vides for a dam in the stream near
Garrison and diversion OF flood waters
to the central part of the State. South
Dakota cities also would be benefited by
increasing the flow of water in the
James River.
Enforce Grain Law.
The State Railroad Board joined in
the fight to keep elevator managers
from shipping out stored grain, as pro-
vided by State and Federal law. The
grain trade at Minneapolis is contest
ing for g. loosening of the restriction.
Board members said it is to the farm
ers' advantage to have the law enforced.
Decision to go ahead with the annual
State corn show, despite lack OF State
or county subsidy, was announced here.
With a special election set for Sep
tember % on the referred sales tax
bill. initiated beer bill and other meas
ures, political interest began to pep up.
Advocates of repeal OF the eighteenth
amendment we're disappointed that the
election was called too early to permit
getting that issue on the ballot by

alleged to have been made to them by
Gov. William LANCER. Bad blood has

Public Utilities
In Idaho Seeking
Reduction in Taxes
Railroads and Electric
POWer Companies
Leading Fight.
BY THERMAN EVANS.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOISE, Idaho, August 26-Concerted
action on the part of public utilities
operating in Idaho for material reduc-
tions in tax assessments was directed
at the State Board of Equalization
meeting in the Capitol this week.
Railroads and electric power COM
panies led the fight for tax slashes.
Railroads contended that their prop
erty was still being assessed at over
100 per cent of actual cash value while
farm lands had been granted sizeable
decreases.
The power companies contended that
unless their assessments were reduced
they would be forced to cut their pay
rolls and thereby materially retard the
N. r. A. program in Idaho.
Utilities have paid 100 per cent of
their assessments. it was declared.
while real property taxes are SIS per
cent delinquent. This delinquency, the
utilities pointed out. throws a still
heavier burden on public utilities by
denying them what they term Just"
reductions.

Political Observers Base
Opinion on His Testimony
in Bank Probe.
BY PERCY c. POWELL.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, August 26-The 'front.'
page testimony of Senator James
CouZenS in the one-man grand jury
investigation of bank failures has
strengthened the belief in a number of
political quarters that the senior Sena-
tor from Michigan is in a receptive
mood fer a tender of the appointment
as Treasurer of the United States.
Time after time during the week
Harry S. Toy. the Republican prosecu-
tor, endeavored to get the Senator to
criticize the handling of the situation
by the present administration. Always
the Senator rallied to the defense and
launched one of his frequent and vio-
lent offenSiveS against the adminiStra-
ton in power before March 4.
Even previous to the Senator's ap-
pearance on the stand the Democrats
in Michigan showed a willingness to
consent to such a move. 1t would mean
the appointment of a Democrat Sena-
tor by Democrat Governor and might,
it is argued, be the means of getting
some Federal patronage, which, to date,
has been very skimpish, although Mich
igan gave the Democratic National and
State administrations an almost clean
sweep.
Arguments Advanced.
Arguments advanced here for such an
appointment in event Secretary Woodin
resigns are numerous.
First is the belief the Senator would
like the job for a numbers of reasons:
l. 1t would be a fitting climax to a
long political career. The Senator, as
he frequently points out, is Canadian
by birth and could not hope to be Presi-
dent.
2. His hatred of Mellon and Mellon
methods with the eXultation attendant
on occupying Melons chair in the
Treasury and waving derisively at the
former Treasurer and his coterie, who
would be on the outside looking in.
Second is the viewpoint from pure
" Democratic standpoint. as it is seen
IN certain quarters not adverse to such
an appointment, namely:
l. While the senior Senator is not
Napoleonic, his name as Treasurer in
Democratic administration would, it is
believed, rally at least $4,000 Republic
an votes in his personal following, as
N2palecn's personal appearance on a
battlefield was credited with morale
raising proclivities equal to $4,000
Frenchmen.
2 1t would stifle and still one Of the
most caustic and critical tongues in the
Senate, as adoption of the Muscle
Shoals plan has SO far stilled the voice
of Senator George w Norris of Ne
braska.
