WHAT REPUBLICANS NEED

IF there is one thing the Republican
party has got to learn it is that you can't
get votes by just denouncing"
The words are VIII Rogers and if the
nations leading humorist was being
funny when he wrote it, there is nothing
funny in it for Republicans, for it is too
close to the truth to be funny
Election of a president is only two
years away Not only is the Republi-
can party certain to lose that election,
but right now it has not one out
standing man in the party ranks who
can make even a respectable showing
against Franklin D. Roosevelt, certain to
be the Democratic standard bearer, barr
ing unforeseen developments.
One can take any list of prominent"
Republicans and there isn't one who
would have as much chance against
Roosevelt as a sand-lot batter would
have against Dizzy Dean
And any Republican who takes the re-
suit of the California election as a Re-
publican victory, needs to have his eyes
and his brain examined. 1t was moth
ing of the sort. The victory would have

S|M| III PLANE
CANNOT HAVE
FULL LICENSE.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 8. U.P) -
The swift blue air racer, Lady Sou
thern Cross, that carried Sir Charles
Kingsford- Smith and Capt. P. G..
Taylor across the Pacific, is not
considered air worthy by the Aus
tralian air ministry, it was disclosed
here today.
The plane which Sir Charles call
ed the best ship in the world was
granted only a three month temper
airy license in Australia and cannot
be returned unless a permanent Ii.
cense is awarded. Today, the British
air bureau, corresponding with the
U. S. bureau of air commerce over
the issuance of aircraft licenses, ne
elected to indicate that the Lady
Southern Cross would be granted a
permanent license in recognition of
the Australia Oakland crossing.
Although Sir Charles in offering
the plane for sale has made no men
tion of the situation, his close
friend, P. G.. B. Morris, local hotel
manager, expressed surprise that
the flight ban against the plane has
not been lifted by Sir Charles own
country.
Meanwhile Sir Charles sought an
early hearing of an attachment writ,
secured against his plane by self
styled creditor. In an answer filed
in municipal court, the flying
knight denied owing Thomas R.
Cation, $1750 but on the contrary
charged Cation owned him an un-
specified sum.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
BALLOON DOG

One day Uncle Wiggily ran his
funny automobile out of the garage.
The reason the rabbit gentleman's
automobile was so funny was be-
cause it had turnips for wheels, a
head Of lettuce for a steering wheel
and for tires big, round, fat bolog-
ma sausages.
Whenever any one asked Uncle
Wiggily why he used bologna sau-
sages for tires, the rabbit gentleman
would say:
Because to make my auto go
fast sprinkle black pepper on the
sausage tires. To make it go faster
I sprinkle on red pepper"
And when Baby Bunty asked him
why he had head OF lettuce for

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-The sol
diers of Fort Benning, Ga. must

thus may international commerce
be popped up by drink which does
just that for its consumers.
The drink which the Georgia sol
diers are going to try is knowll
throughout South America as yerba

drink it regularly, much as Ameri-

VIII Rogers is absolutely correct in
saying that denouncing will not get Re-

ward with a liberal, progressive and
practical program to come anywhere
near being considered real opposition to
the Democrats. 1t has no chance to do
so before 1886 and indeed will be mighty
lucky if it can shape up such program
and find leader to sell" it to the vot-

This doesn't mean that it cannot be
done. 1t can be done but it is going to
take much more than denouncing and

it about.

WAGE DECISION

Indiana Case Argued Before

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-More
than 500 home workers, employed at
Tell City and Troy in weaving dou-

be affected by a wage decision now
pending before the NRA board of
industrial appeals.
The case was argued before the
board Tuesday.
Factory owners are opposing the
order of the recovery administra-
ton to establish a scale of cents
for each 100 square inches of
weave. They refuse to offer more
than cents on the ground that, if
they did. the industry would be
killed off by competition of wooden
seats made in factories.
Evidence disclosed that the In
diana factories now are paying 5
cents, and some in the southern
states as little as 215 cents for the
home work. 1t takes 200 square
inches for the average chair and

HOUSING BILL
FIGHT STARTS
Administrations Hold on
Congress Faces Test
in House.
BIZ United Press


WASHINGTON, June 12.-The
administration hold on congress ap-
preached vital test in the house
today when the scope of the hous-
ing rogram was challenged in a
fight which may delay adjourn
ment.
The senate was ready to take up
the permanent appropriations bill
after approving the silver proposal
and rejecting the bonus.
Administration leaders found the
list of signers to a house round
robin" against adjournment until
labor legislation is acted on grow
ing steadily. These threats in the
house to calm adjournment chal-
lenged the ingenuity of the leader
ship.
Despite charges by Harry L. Hop
kins, federal relief administrator
and the national emergency council
that the housing bill as reported to
the house by the banking and cur
rency committee was "unSatiS-
factory" the group decided to bring
the measure up today without the
requested revisions.
The committee eliminated the ma
tional mortgage associations plan,
and refused to approve making of
twenty-year mortgage loans by COM
mercial banking institutions.
The silver bill, in keeping with
administration desires, was passed
by the senate almost without change
from the form it passed the house.
The bonus bill was defeated 51-31
in surprise move without debate
and without excitement.
