KENTUCKY ACT

Assembly Faces
Three Major
Problems.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dlspatch TO The star.
LOUISVILLE, KY, March "a
Kentucky having just paid 100000
worth of bills for a legislative session
that ended last week, now faces an
other meeting of the General As
sembly in April to tackle three essen
tial problemS-taxation, appropria-
tions and employment relief. Al
though budgets were supposed to be
submitted to the Assembly in Janu-
ary, they were withheld. This mac
ton destroyed all continuing appro-
priations and left completely unset
tied the finances of a State declared
bankrupt by a firm of auditors.
In the interim between the regular
and special sessions a sort of liaison
committee, consisting of 18 members
of the two houses, is holding meetings
to study revenue and taxation. The
acuteness of the financial problem was
intensified by reduction of passenger
and truck automobile licenses and of
the State real estate tax from 30
cents to cents per $100 of valuation.
About S4,0OO,000 a year is the esti-
mated loss from these bills.
This is offset to some extent by the
enactment of the liquor control bill,
which is expected to bring about
$2,50O,000 Inasmuch as the real
estate tax was collected especially for
the schools, they face the greatest
loss. Already the Department of Ed
ucation has announced a cut from
Sc to $3.50 per capita allowance from
the State treasury to local communi-
ties, based on the number OF pupils.
This Is certain to cripple schools in
many communities.

SILVER MEN HOPE
FOR STABLE PRICE
Nevada Miners Want kssur-
ance Before Making Large
Investments.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


RENO. New, March 24-Secretary
Morgenthau'S statement that he saw
no change in sight in the Government
policy affecting silver has not cheered
Nevada mining interests There is
hope, however. that he may give out
a more promising interview, and pos
sibly prediction of some concrete
action, if the speculative angle is
eliminated
The Secretary's remarks, however
have not had any noticeable effect on
mining operations nor upon pros
pecting activities. The fastener can
not understand. perhaps, what it
means to have thousands Of expert
enced prospectors in the hills looking
for ore bodies which may mean an
other Goldfeld. There are hundreds
in this state looking for gold and sill
YER
If they find a rich deposit of one or
the other Nevada is back on her feet.
There is not so much likelihood of a
big silver boom, however, unless there
is stabilized price that will pay to
operate silver properties. The mining
men here, that is, the rank and file,
pay little attention to the economic
situation as it affects the white metal,
but they do want to be told positively
that they will receive a substantial
price for silver, over a substantial
number of years, which will make it
worth while to open up mines and
spend hundreds of thousands of dol
lars developing them
Nevada's second principal industry,
or perhaps its principal one at this
time, live stock, is looking brighter in
the opinion of experts. The cattle
situation is not so good. but wool is
much better and one expert said he
expected price of 25 cents a pound
this year.
The price is not so far from that
now. The closed banks of the State
own thousands of bales of wool, hav-
ing taken it over for loans, and all of
it is being consigned, awaiting a
higher price. If they obtain Is cents
pound it means better year for the
sheep men, and a probable better divi-
dend for depositors in the closed
banks.
Highway work under the public
works program is now in full sway in
nearly every part of the State. 1t is
taking care of hundreds of unem-
ployed men, loosening much money,
which is finding its way into the
stores that for three years have de-
clared only Irish" dividends.

A revival of business in most Sec

A freeze which would thin out the

it would give the balance of the crop

ATLANTA, Ga, March 24.-Rail-
roads operating in Georgia are plan

saults on two fronts by state agencies.
These assaults came in quick order
and followed hearings as to freight
and passenger rate reductions con-
Quoted by the Georgia Public Service
Commission in January and February.
The first was the action of the
controller general of the State in
increasing the property valuations for
tax purposes about 400 per cent, a
total of more than S144,000, 900.
The second was the order of the
Public Service Commission reducing
the maximum charge for passenger
transportation from 3.6 cents mile
to cents. The latter order becomes
effective April 20, unless restrained
by court proceedings. The reduction,
of course, applies only to intrastate
fares.
In the hearing before the commits
sion as to rates, the l3 railroad COM
panies opposed the reduction of the
maximum fare, although all of them
have been selling tickets for less than
the rate which has been ordered. AS
an experiment, tickets for day coach

mitted that the reduction has re-
suited in a large increase in number

New Hampshire Politics
H. Styles Bridges, Senior Member of Public
Service Commission, Has Announced
Candidacy for Governor.

United States Senator George H.
Moses Of Concord. However. in this
campaign, Bridges is standing on his
own feet and it is whispered in the
inner circles that Winant and Bridges
have had some strong differences of
opinion, which may lead to an open
break.
Those who know Bridges intimately
describe him as young, able, forceful
and pleasant. Since last September,
when he announced his intentions. he
has travelled throughout the State
making speeches of a non-political
nature and it must be admitted that
he has been popularity received.
Prior to his appointment TO his
present post on the Public Service
Commission. Mr. Bridges for many
years has been prominent in the busi-
ness. civic, and political activities of
the State, having served as a member
of the extension staff of the University
Of New Hampshire, as secretary of the
New Hampshire State Farm Bureau
Federation, editor of the Granite
Monthly Magazine. director and sec
retary Of the New Hampshire Invest
ment Co., secretary and treasurer Of
the Farm Bureau Mutual Automobile
Insurance Co, and has been actively
identified in all political campaigns in
recent years. having served as vice
chairman of the Republican State
Committee.
Mr.. Bridges is an official in several
of the civic organizations of the State,
trustee of the Concord Public Library,
trustee and treasurer of the Putnam
Agricultural Foundation and an officer
in the Reserve Corps of the United
States Army.
Mr.. Bridges was born in West Penn
broke. Me, and reared on a farm
in that town. He is, however, a de-
Scendant of an old New Hampshire
family. He was educated in the pub
lie schools of Pembroke, and at the

tire way through college, and is at
present president of the University of

SIOUX FALLS. S. Oak, March
24.-The new relief program for
South Dakota has been launched,
with Gov. Tom Berry in charge as
Federal emergency relief administra-
tor for the State. w. L. Eales Of
Watertown, who had been in charge
of the States relief work up to this
time, recently resigned to make way
for the new program. The civil works
program, gradually curtailed from
$4,000 to $4,000 employees, was elm
mated when the new plan went
into effect.
The new plan calls for exchange of
cash or commodities for labor on
projects similar to those of the civil
works program. and instructions for
operation of the new plan now are
in the hands of all the county relief
administrators in South Dakota. For
mer civil works workers cannot obtain
assistance under the new program
until their cases have been investigated
and their actual needs established.
With the putting into effect of the
new plan, county directors were urged
to start investigations at once.

AUSTIN, Tex, March 24.-The
Texas State Democratic Committee
was called into session Saturday to
accept the offer of James E. Ferguson,
head of the present State adminStra-
ton, to take the post of Democratic
national committeeman, succeeding
Jed Adams, whose resignation, long
ago rendered, has just been accepted
by National Chairman James A.
Farley.
Outcome of the selection was OBJ
vious, since Mr.. Ferguson had hand
picked 80 out of the 81 State COM
mitteemen.
Notice was received from Washing
ton that the resignation of Mrs. Clara
Driscoll Sewer as national commit
teewoman from Texas, rendered when
Ambassador to Chile, will not be ac-
cepted at this time.
Centennial Planned.
Mr.. Fergusons desire to hold the
committeemanship himself broadened
his conflict with the national admin
istration, since indication has been
given the national administration this
year will support United States Sen
ator Tom Connally for reelection,
while Mr.. Ferguson's followers have
been backing Representative Joseph
Weldon Bailey against Connally.
The State this week set up official
machinery for holding a centennial
celebration, expected to rival the
Philadelphia Sesquicentennial in
scope, commemorating 100 years OF

CONCORD, N. H., March 24.-With
the New Hampshire primaries only
six months away, H Styles Bridges OF
Concord, the senior member of the
Public Service Commission, is the
only announced candidate of either
party to succeed John G. Winant as
Governor of the Granite State. Mr.
Bridges seeks the Republican nomi-
nation.
New Hampshire was one of the
eight States which in the last election
did not get swept away in the Roose-
welt landslide and consequently it is
anticipated by the local political
watch dogs that New Hampshire
voters will not turn the reins over to
Democracy this Fall.
OF course, a lot of water will pass
down the Merrimack in the next six
months, and 1t is doubted that Mr..
Bridges will have the G.. o. P. field
in this State all to himself. Charles
Carroll of Laconia, at present mayor
of his home city and a member of
Gov. Winant's executive council, has
indefinite ideas on the subject and
any one attempting to make a pre-
diction about him would be sure to be
wrong. as he has stirred the political
pot here several times in the past few
years and then has jumped out.
Huntley N. Spaulding of Rochester,
who holds the honor of being the only
candidate who ever defeated Winant,
was Governor in 1927 and has been
spoken of as willing to announce
himself if there was a strong appeal
for him throughout the State by the
Republicans. Up to this writing this
appeal has not been forthcoming, and
it is doubted that at this late date he
would throw his hat into the ring
against Bridges.
During his political career Mr.
Bridges has been identified with the
liberal wing of New Hampshire's
Grand Old Party, which in recent
years has been controlled in this State
by Ex-Gov. Robert P. Bass of Peter
boro, Gov. John G. Winant and Rep
resentative Charles w. Tobey OF
Temple, who have bitterly opposed

nearly 100000 to the city, but the

At first indications were that more
than 100 members of both DEPART

the $500, 900 saving. Members of the
departments decided, however, to

Discuss Water Project.
As the latter was only an open dis
cussion of the principles involved in
the water right grants for the two
big power-irrigation projects over
which the two have clashed before.
no other than psychological effects
resulted.
The two incidents were followd by
telegram from Secretary Ickes,
public works administrator, urging
the Governor to modify some of his
conditions in the grants that he has
insisted on and which have delayed
final closing Of contracts between ir-
rigation districts and the Federal
Government. Secretary Ickes asked
something that Mullen had been con-
tending for persistently. 1t remains
to be seen whether Gov. Bryan will
retreat.
Fate Of projects costing $4,000 900
depends on the outcome, for the
public works administration has made
it plain that the Governor must
change his views considerably or the
grants will be endangered.
