Those Snug Democrats

IT is a question whether Mr.. Hoover would have
L trimmed sail by canceling, curtailing postpon-
ing the construction OF the American Rome if he had
known what the future had in store for the United
States. But the boom still echoing and he
thought prosperity was just around the corner and
anyway the government committed to the plan
by that time.
II is not permitted to cancel bet after the horses
have left the post and some of the contracts had
been awarded when the crash came. After that al
though it seemed great extravaganza to proceed
with the American Rome, the statesmen began to
say that WE'LL anyway, the work would provide jobs
for unemployed Workmen not only in Washington
but in the quarrieS mines factories and steel mills
The Democrats in the new postoffice building are
rather SNUG as they examine the magnificence of
their quarters not failing to point out that the
NOUS paneled lobby temple, surely of the most
luxurious government rooms in the world was not
their doing.

There is a fictitious suggestion that Mr. Walter
Brown, Mr.. Hoover's postmaster general must feel
very low in his mind just now as he thinks of the
grand ceremonial dedication of his postofdce

planes with more stamina and
endurance.
"War missions of the army and
the navy are the same, but the
planes must be different" Ad-
miral King said in explaining why
the two services do not purchase
duplicate equipment and obtain
lowered costs.
"a heavy navy plane does not
have a mile-long runway on which
to alight nor a roomy hangar for
storage. It must operate from
the deck of a carrier and be small
enough to be slowed away inside
a vessel.
Navy planes must be stronger
so they can withstand the shock
of being quickly halted when they
land on the carriers. Planes for
battleShipS and cruisers must be
built so they can be catapulted off
their ships and landed in the open
sea. Others must be adaptable to
conversion from landplane to sea-

Rear Admiral Ernest J. King,
chief of the bureau of aeronautics,
recently submitted to congress a
table showing how United States
planes compare with those of for

planes operate at much higher

Different nations require diff

IN the land in the year of Mr. Hoover's reign over
the splendor of the new buildings and, as spending
went in the old unimaginative days when billion
dollars was a sum to stop and admire, this was an
extravagant building program.
1t seemed as though the United States, sud-
denly had become very Snobbsh and determined to
build capita which would not cause the blush of
embarrassment to mantle the cheek of the Amer

they might have been made to do while an Amer

selves far apart as ever.
But standards have changed since Mr.. Roose-
welt came'to town. You could buy all the build
ings which constitute the American Rome for
a hundred million dollars and Mr.. Roosevelt has
reckoned that at his rate of spending the total
debt two years from now will be almost thirty-two
billions. The total cost of Mr. Hoovers building
program even including the magnificent paneled
cathedral where the Democrats sit today telling
Mr.. James Farley how deserving they are seems
hardly worth mentioning Mr.. Hoover just didn't
have imagination. He built new national capital
but it took Mr.. Roosevelt to build country.

Listen for Boundary

THE incidents in question must be long for
l. gotten but the malice fingers on. To some ex-
tent, according to my nformants the issue is one
of national jealouses. The names of the leading
citizens of ST. Paul for the most part Irish with
a generous. admixture of Germans But Minneap-
oils is almost wholly Scandinavian. At one time
it was the largest Swedish city in the world but
some of the Olafs do not live there any more.
Even so, enough of the Viking strain remains
to keep the population of the fair city of Min
neapolis almost wholly blonde. little Swede goes
a long way. Although barbed wire marks the
boundaries the casual visitor should be able
to tell when he has crossed the jagged line which
separates the two towns. He has only to listen.
AS long as he hears, 81 tank go home now" he is
still in Minneapolis. But if, Hans, throw the horse
over the fence hay or "Begorra," greets his
ears he has crossed into st. Paul. AS yet
have not been to Minneapolis since I have been
much too busy to obtain a visa.
Yet since politically as well as reportorially
minded, have no hesitation in saying that this
city of st. Paul is of the farest flowers in the
diadem OF America Everything said against Min
neapolis is undoubtedly true and going to stick
to that opinion until safely over the line and
have the broad Mississippi at my back.
I am much too far from home to pick any fights
with the Irish.

Yesterday Dick Roell and Jerry Harney of the Hammon Company successfully completed the install ation of a new Olympic Automatic Fuel Oil Burner in the basement of the Hammon Building. The new burner is replacing the old Ray Manual Burner which formerly heated the building.
 Bought last spring in Seattle by Harney. the furnace is Pacific Northwest Product. and possesses features which no other burner has. It operates on system of high pressure atomization, and is fired by an electric spark. whereas other burners require Flamo Pilot Light for ignition. It's oper ation is@rstarted- immediately by a synchronous timing clock, and ] heat regulation is maintained by thermostatic control.

The Crucial Tariff.
From the Hartford courant.

From the Hartford Coursnt.
The experience of the past makes
unequivocally plain that Congress is
not to be relied upon to shape a tariff
in a way to serve large national pur-
poses. The inevitable result Of its
dealing with the tariff is the purchase
Of sectional advantage at the expense
of national interests. Hence, if the
tariff is to be revised, it can only be
revised by some agency that repre-
sents the entire Nation, not its various
sections; in short, the President as
opposed to Congress.
The President apparently is deter
mined to face the issue squarely, for
which he deserves the utmost credit.
The request for authority to deal with
the tariff is crucial in his plan of re-
covery. and it may well determine the
fate Of the administration. At pres
ent recovery is being pursued by
courses that, unless supplemented and
expanded by wider international trade,
will require domestic readjustments on
a scale that will not find ready accep-
tance.
If the economic crisis is to pass
without compelling a wide destruction
of established customs, means of ex-
panding international trade will have
TO be found somewhat along the lines
now contemplated by the President.

Incidental Land BuYing.

In street extension or land buying
for other municipal or public improve
mentS, the Government sometimes
condemns or purchases a parcel Of a
lot as sufficient for its needs, leaving
the remainder of no practical use or
benefit either to the property owner
or the Government. Familiar illus
trations are streets which have been ex-
tended through somebody's front yard
leaving the owners house hanging on
the edge Of a ragged. ugly cut. Some
times the city will condemn four
fifths of a lot and leave the remain
ing fifth as a narrow strip that even
tually becomes a sort of no mans
land.
Remedy for such conditions is
sought in a bill by Senator King,
which would give the authorities the
right of excess or incidental con-
demnation." The principle of such
condemnation has been applied with
success in some of the States and
has been recognized as a modern
necessity in city planning. Such a
law is not sought primarily in the
interests of the property owner, al
though the rights of some property
owners would be protected, but in the
interest of the public. While there
have been legal objections to the
principle, based on the fact that con-
demnation proceedings are valid only
when property is taken for strictly
governmental use, efforts have been
made to remove such an objection by
making the purpose Of excess con-
demnation the protection of public
works and their environs, and to pre-
serve the view, appearance. light. air
and usefulness" of such public works.
The city would have the right, for
instance, in street extension. to con-
denim more land than it needs for
the street itself, subdivide this prop
erty and later dispose of it at public
sale, or convert it to such public
uses as small parks. In purchasing
school sites, Objectionable structures
adjacent to the new school could like
wise be acquired through purchase or
condemnation and later reSold OF
converted to other appropriate use.
The Shipstead act already protects
the Governments investment in GER
tain land and buildings by requir-
ing Fine Arts Commission approval
of private structures to be built
adjacent to or fronting on Govern
ment property. The principle of ex-
cess condemnation, it would seem, is
the logical extension Of this reason
able desire by the Government to
protect its investment in land and
buildings and to prevent inequities to
property owners, which sometimes &C
company the process of condemnation.
