Pittsburgh's Proletarian.

PittSburgh's newly elected Democratic
mayor. the first of that party to be
chosen for the Office in quarter Of a
century, announces that he will give
the city new deal" in municipal
administration. Rejecting the lux
urious, commodious ONCE heretofore
assigned to the municipal chief execu-
tive on the fifth floor of the City Hall,
he proposes to establish himself ut
desk in the main lobby of the building,
right out there where everybody can
see me-" He is not going TO 60 high
hat" and buy q limousine. but. having
ridden street cars "all this time" he
is going to keep 1t UP.
1t will be interesting to observe
whether the new mayor will carry OF
along this line. 1t Is quite possible
that he will have an irksome time at
his lobby desk, where every one can
see him and where every one can claim
attention After twenty-five years of
Republican municipal rule, there will
be clamorous crowd of seekers for
patronage and preferment. The lobby
OF the municipal building Is likely to
be thronged with claimants for atten-
ton. And even on the street cars,
which the mayor-elect prefers TO In
dividual transportation, he is likely to
be accosted and buttonholed by candi-
dates for his consideration.
Nothing Is less conducive to good ad-
ministration than unrestricted exposure
to the multitude, whether the oface be
large or small. The day will probably
come, and perhaps soon, when the new
mayor of Pittsburgh will yearn for
seclusion. II Is quite likely that before
many weeks have passed he will be
occupying, for at least part of the time,
the hfth-hoor Office which his pred
ecessors have used and which he
now spurns. Perhaps his callers
will prefer the shelter Of that
more intimate conference chamber to
the open space Of the lobby, where the
mayor and his visitors will have no
more privacy for their consultations
than the proverbial goldfish. And,
fagthgmore. 1t is quite certain that
beGxe six months are over he will find
the street car unsuitable and will be
travelling at the expense Of the COM
munity in an official machine, though
1t may not be q limousine.

OIL CONSERVATION
SCHEME in EFFECT
President Already Has Taken
Steps to Halt Bootleg

Washington. July 22.-R-The ad-
ministration already has taken adj
vantage OF the power given to Presi-
dent Roosevelt in the recovery act to
help preserve for future generations
the nations irreplaceable and rapid
ly-diminishing oil resources.
States were unable to cone effec-
lively with Observation-Disclosures
duction Of oil by men who took more
cut Of their wells than state laws per.
mitted and then shipped it across
states for sale.
The producing state, Of course, nao
nothing to say about the sale of the
oil in another state, nor could It pre-
vent its shipment into another COM
|monweakk
The result was that millions Of bar
rels went into an already glutted mar
ket and drove prices in some cases as
low as 10 cents barrel, below pro-
duction costs in many instances.
So congress wrote into the recovery
law provision giving the president
power to prevent interstate shipment
,of oil produced in violation Of state
laws.
The president already has signed
an executive order making that pro-
vision effective. And Secretary Ickes
has issued regulations which for the
first time bring producers, refiners
and shippers Of petroleum and its
products under some federal SUPER

New Warden Member
of Legislature Is Years

Appointment of Dell Patterson as
warden brings to the state peniten-
tiary another man who has served the
state as member of the legislature.
