RELIEF ROLLS
ARE PLANNED
FOR JOBLESS
Montana Viii Care
for Dismissed C..
". n. Workers.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

HELENA, Mont, March &C. w.
A. workers who have been laid of
in Montana are not to suffer, &C.
cording to T. C. Spaulding, State
director of relief, who said that those
in need will be put on relief rolls.
There has been wide protest in Mon
tana against the policy of laying of
the c. w. A. force. In accordance
with the general system, rural COM
munity forces have been most heavily
cut. Mr.. Spaulding explaining that
rural workers more often own their
homes and also COWS. chickens, ETC.,
self-supporting basis. Moreover, COM
modify prices are higher in the
municipal districts.
Whether the P. w. A. will absorb
labor laid off by c. w. A. in Mon
tana, to any extent, is yet to be de-
termined. There is no question that
c. w. A. curtailment is for the time
a serious blow to the State. P.W. A.
projects. highways, mining and the
farm must absorb these people, OF
they must go back on relief. Taking

safe to assert that common opinion
is that 1t would have been better
to employ upon c. w. A., if only
for a few months more, sufficient
funds to carry the surplus of labor
To some 1t seems the recovery system
marched in sight of the goal and
then turned back.
AS to politics, there are many Re
publicans, but they are lying low. and
the rank and file, utterly weary Of
experiences between 1928 and 1882
is quite willing to let Franklin D
Roosevelt have his chance. Criticism
of the Roosevelt regime is whispered
here and there, but rarely spoken.
However, 90 days elapse before the
of-year campaign of 1884 begins and
a lot of things can happen in 80 days
The ice crop in many sections is
minus. Water for municipal pur-
poses and irrigation may be scarce
Crops may be affected very seriously
though that is not yet certain. The
Winter has been unprecedentedly mild
and unless snowfall between now and
April l is heavy. the moisture sup
ply In some parts Of the State may
be inadequate.

|CKES RECEIVES
HEARTY WELCOME
ON CHICAGO TRIP
egcretary's Visit to Home
City Made Occasion Of
Warm Ceremonies.
BY RUTHWELL DUNCAN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, March 3.-Harold F..
Ickes, Secretary Of the Interior, had
homecoming last week. Resident
Of . Chicago suburb, but living his
active life for many years in the Loop
district Of the metropolis, heart Of the
city, Mr.. Ickes returned to the scene
Of his private labors and was given a
warm greeting by his many friends
and admirers. He spoke at several
gatherings, but his major engagement
was as speaker for the local League Of
Women Voters in Orchestra Hall.
That organization made a self-bene-
At occasion Of the opportunity to
stage a cabinet member. It charged
admission and filled the big audi
torium with an applauding audience.
Mr.. Ickes, after his address, which
followed lines that have been made
familiar in earlier news dispatches,
exposed himself to questioning, but
his hearers were, apparently, wholly
satisfied and accordant, since not a
voice Of inquiry was raised.
Praised by Neighbors.
The Secretary Of the Interior, as
Chicago knows him, Is man Of un-
compromising integrity. His appoint
ment was hailed with enthusiasm by
those who desire honesty in govern
ment. mo crooked deals will get by
Ickes." was the frequent comment OF
citizens of all political faiths. It is
believed he has justified that conf
dence. There are some who think he
has leaned backward In order to be
sure Of justifying It,
The appearance Of Prof. Charles E
Merriam as chairman at the Ickes
meeting recalled to many the famous
campaign in which the Secretary OF
the Interior had acted as manager for
the University of Chicago professor
who was running as Republican can
didate for mayor. Many who went
through that fight believe Dr. Mer-
riam would have been elected had his
manager been less uncompromiSing
Mr.. Ickes fortnight manner of dealing
with issues and personalities was more
honestly courageous than tactful
Merriam may have lost the election
as q result, but his admiration and
friendship for his manager were not
impaired.
Processes Ignorance.
Notwithstanding his vigor of con-
viction and energy Of action when he
has made up his mind, Mr. 1ckes is q
modest man. In his Orchestra Hall
speech he cited the instance Of the
oil industry'S urgent request that he
become its administrator, and, said
he. None but the Secretary Of the
Interior knew how little the Secre-
tary Of the Interior knew about oil. 81
He admits his ignorance has been en-
Nghtened considerably since.
Nominally a Republican, Mr.. Ickes
has been in truth an independent in
politics. He has always done his own
thinking. His conclusions have not
led always to Republican party sup
port. In the days of Theodore Roose-
welt he was q Progressive. He sup
ported Cox against Harding. He
supported Franklin Delano Roosevelt
against Hoover.

BIG ADVANTAGE
IN SENATE RACE
Gov. Olson Files for Third
Term Reelection in
Minnesota.
BY JERRY VESSELS.

Special Dispatch to The Star
ST. PAUL, Mimi, March Storm
warnings for the Farmer-Labor party,
dominant political group in Mime
sofa, were lowered this week when q
safe course was charted for the COM
Ing campaign involving Congress and
the governorship.
The clincher will be applied March
n, when the party holds Its State
Endorsement convention In st. Paul.
Gov Floyd B. Olson filed for re-
election with the virtual assurance
that he can win third term as he
pleases. This stopped agitation for
the Governor to oppose United States
Senator Henrik Shipstead, giving
Shipstead probably an overwhelming
advantage in his bid for a third trip
to the Senate.
Representative Henry Shoemaker
drst-termer who barely squeezed
through at the last election, promptly
announced his intention to oppose
Shipstead and a movement was
launched to induce Representative
Magnus johnson to run for the Sen
ate.

Interest Centers In Farms.
Up in the iron ore country near Lake
Superior, mining companies are plan.
ming to double their 1888 output which
would place this industry nearer 9
normal production than at any time
since the big slump. Estimates, based
on consumption Of ore at the stee
mills, fix the 1884 tonnage for the
Lake Superior district at 100000
tons. The bulk of this will come from
the Minnesota pits.
Main interest in the State naturally
centers in the farm situation and the
comparative peace that surrounds thai
industry. Gone are the turbulent time.

PUBLIC WORKS
HELD FAILURE
BY ARKANSAS
Cause Is Traced BY
State Heads to
u. S. Officials.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March s.
Blame for the failure Of the Public
Works program in Arkansas was laid
at the door Of officials in Washington"
by members of the State Advisory
Board during q conference with
P. w. A. officials from Washington
here Monday night. It was declared
by members Of the State Board that
the program was dismal failure
and that ineficiency in Washington
was the cause.
The unexpected attack occurred
during banquet given by the Little
Rock Chamber of Commerce in honor
Of Col. Henry M. Waite, deputy ad-
ministrator of the P. w. A.. several
members of the Washington staff, and
Public Works officials from the five
States in this region.
In reply to the attack, Col. Waite
said: "I'll be damned If offer an
apology for the P. w. A." Nor did
he explain why the program In Ar
kansas was tagging.
Financial Trouble Seen.
But, it was explained by Edward
H. Foley, jr., assistant general counsel
of public works, that "the trouble
with Arkansas is not only legal; it's
financial as well. The collateral
offered for Public Works bonds SIM
ply Is not worth the risk in the ma
jority Of applications that have been
turned down."
e. c. Horner, chairman Of the State
Board, said from last August until
the present time 201 applications for
grants and loans on Public Works
projects have been forwarded to
Washington. The administration has
approved % non-Federal allotments
for Arkansas as of February IA, and
bond contracts have been sent out on
nine of these. Five Of the nine have
been executed by local authorities
and returned to Washington. Yet
only one p. w. A. project is actually
under way in the State.
And from the rice area Of Arkansas
comes the charge that the Federal
Land Bank does not intend to lend
money to the farmers In the Grand
Prairie section.

SALES TAX FOUGHT
IN NORTH CAROLINA
Approach of Democratic Prima-
ries Helps to Revive
Issue.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

ShoSioA Diopotth w 4AC 5tdis
RALEIGH, N. c., March 3.-Oppo-
sition to the per cent general sales
tax in North Carolina has been sharp
1y revived after a slumber of several
months.
Two factors have entered into this
renewal Of interest-the approach of
the Democratic primaries, which will
be held on June 2, and the strong ef-
fort now being made by the State ad-
ministration to secure enactment by
Congress of legislation which would
permit States with sales taxes to ap-
ply that tax to mail order shipments
and other merchandise entering the
State through the channels of inter-
state commerce.
The North Carolina sales tax was
enacted, avowedly, as a purely emer-
gency measure, but the request for
Federal legislation appears to its op-
ponents to foreshadow q permanent
policy.

Longs statement called for comment
"as most persons are familiar with
the unemployment situation in New

"At no time" Mr.. Early added, "did
politics figure in the distribution OF
jobs in the State. No member OF the
city government of New Orleans nor
any Of the candidates In the recent
campaign knew how many men were
being put to work and none of them
ever asked about it.
THE distribution OF jobs in New

exhibition of work done by artists
throughout the United States in the
past four months under the public

had previously viewed the exhibition
and selected more than 30 pictures
which in his estimation were of su-
perior art value but was deferred from
attending the opening yesterday.
However, Mrs. Roosevelt and their
daughter, Mrs. Anna Roosevelt Dali.
and others from the White House
were there.
On Mrs Roosevelt's arrival in the
gallery the Navy Band Orchestra
played, the crowd cheered and clapped
and the scene was one of great en-

receives all such demonstrations with
