II it isn't checked early you'll find
worse trouble here
The first necessity in any fight
against it is effective law. That places
the issue squarely up to the enforce
ment agencies and If gambling still
flourishes then it means either inefi-
cheney or protection. Tighten up your
laws and then stamp the racket out;
If you don't you'll find sooner or later
that graft and bribery will become a
part of it all and the problem will get
worse steadily"
Such a tightening Of District of
Columbia laws probably will take
place this Winter, it was predicted
today by Senator Ashurst, Democrat,
of Arizona, chairman of the Senate
Judiciary Committee.
Gambling is the most baneful of
all habits" Senator Ashurst declared,
land every possible means of check
ing it should be provided. I GER
tainly believe that Congress will look
with favor this Winter upon any
proposal to tighten District laws so
the, police can effectively hit at this
racket. The numbers game, the claw
machines and all the other rackets
that instill the gambling habit into
decent citizens should be stamped
out"
In Youngstown, Ohio, recourse also
was taken to tightening laws and hit
ting quickly and constantly at the
numbers runners.
I'VE found two gangs operating
there" Chief of Police Leroy Good
win said today, land we made no
progress against them until we had
a special ordinance passed about two
years ago. Then we picked a special
police squad and put them on this
racket permanently. We pulled in
runners whenever located, hustled
them through the courts and kept
them pretty well scared. It's a big
business and we haven't stopped it
entirely, but we have kept them from
running wild.
'It's the kind of crime that is a
pain in the neck to police depart
ments and prosecuting lawyers, but
1t can't be allowed to continue with
out interruption"

MESSAGES POLICY
MAY Be RESUMED
President Expected to Give
Congress Only General
PrevieW at Start.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Seventy-fo fourth Congress, like
its predecessor, is expected to get
only very general preview of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's program at the start
After that, the aces and kings prob
ably will be popping out of the New
Deal legislative deck singly and on
dates carefully selected by the dealer
at the other end of Pennsylvania
avenue.
Mr.. Roosevelt's lieutenants expect
him to continue sending special mes
sages recommending single pieces OF
legislation at time.
There's some virtue in that Sys-
tenn" says Senator Barkley, Demo-
crat, of Kentucky. 1T gives the op-
position very little to shoot at and
doesn't let them play one proposal
against another"
After his first message to the extra
session of the Seventy-third Con-
gress. the President wrote II special
messages proposing as many bills. In
the last session, he sent up 80, along
with 18 vetoes.
In addition, he forwarded the texts
of many measures he was recommend
ing. another innovation.
The opposition contends this goes
to show the diminishing importance of
Congress, a view which is disputed
by leading New Dealers.
Mr.. Roosevelt. as in the past. is
expected to call in committee chair
men from time to time to talk over q
special bill. He also may again ex-
press his desires in formal notes to
committee heads.
The way things shape up now, Capt.
tol observers believe the Executive will
experience his greatest difficulties with
Congress over the soldiers bonus, per-
manent N. r. A. legislation, relief. st.
Lawrence waterway and perhaps the
currency issue.

LABOR OPENS lob
INSURANCE DRIVE
Green Proposes 5 Per Cent
Tax on Pay Rolls, Freeing
Workers of Levy.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Union labor's legislative drive for
1885 opened today with proposal by
William Green that unemployment in
surance be financed wholly by per
cent tax on pay rolls.
Opposing any direct levy on work
ers, the president of the American
Federation of Labor said they would
pay most of the cost anyway. En-
ployers add their cost to prices and
employees buy IS per cent Of all goods,
he said. If workers shared the direct
| cost of insurance, he added, they would
be paying twice.
The labor chief made his proposals
in a message to all A. F. of L. unions.
Congressional supporters OF another
| measure that has A. F. of L. backing
| the 30-hour week-prepared to at
temp to pass it quickly in the next
Congress, though high officials in the
Roosevelt administration have shown
signs of opposition.
Black Backs C0nnery.
Chairman Connery of the House
Labor Committee has reported to COL
leagues that sentiment for the meas
ure as a means of reducing unemploy-
| ment is growing. Backing Connery
Is Senator Black, Democrat, of Ala
bama, co-author of the measure, which
was sidetracked in 1898.
Connery said advocates are inter-
ested in giving employers their just
due. while at the same time giving to
workers fair share of the products
of their labor in the form of decent
living conditions"
Meantime, agitation for some form
Of Government protection against the
vicissitudes of old age gained A.lomen-
tum within and outside the admini-
stration today.
Pension Issue Seen.
New indications were seen that old
age pensions would be debated by the
next Congress whether President
Roosevelt recommends it or not.
Among developments were these:
l. Representative Keller, Democrat,
| Of Illinois mailed letters to the 48
Governors asking suggestions for an
old-age pension law which he will
propose.
2. President Roosevelt's Committee
on Economic Security wound up its
survey Of schemes for such pensions
and related subjects. It will report
recommendations to the President
Monday.
8. DR.. F. E. Townsend of Cali
fornia, author Of an "old-age revolving
pension plan," was here to set up
headquarters and push his proposal
He claimed wide support for the plan,
under which a universal sales tax
would be levied to finance pensions of
5000 monthly to about 5000, 900 per-
sons over so. Dr. Edwin witte, chair
man of the Committee on Economic
Security, called this financially i'm
possible"
Keller Expects Passage.
Representative Keller said popular
demand for a national old-age pension
law lis so widespread and So intense
that there seems little room to doubt
the passage Of such a law"

ADULT EDUCATION IS
NEED, SAYS MURPHY
r. B. Murphy, In Talk to Lions
Club, Says Truth Must Re-
place Propaganda

A declaration that we are in the
midst Of q reorganization Of our edu-
cational system to plan which will
bring education to adults outside the
schools four walls as well as to chill
dren in the class room was voiced be-
fore the Bismarck Lions club Mon
day noon by r. B. Murphy, deputy
state superintendent Of public in
struction. =
Education today Is In . more
chaotic and more troublesome condi-
ton than ct any previous time in the
history Of the country, the educator
said, but pointed to an old Roman
proverb which says there Is nothing
50 bad that It doesn't have some good.
In our present case, Murphy said,
the sorry condition in which educa-
ton finds itself will bring US bigger
and better educational plan.
Educate Our Adults
The federal governments tendency
at present, he said, Is to re-employ
idle teachers by putting them in eve
ming and night class rooms set up for
education OF adults.
I'VE must get over the idea that We
are educated and that our education
is at an end when we graduate" Muir
ply said, declaring that education
should never end"
The. mechanics Of reading and
mathematics are not nearly so i'm
portant, the speaker observed, IS the
question OF what to read or how to be
q good neighbor and citizen.
The answer to the new educational
problem. he said. will be truth. He
decried that at present we are . ma
tjon governed by propaganda. not
Truth, and scored newspapers. periodi-
Gals and adults as well as the educa-
tional system deficiencies for such .
condition.
Afraid 10 Tell Truth
The trouble with the educational
set-up Of the last half century, he
said, internationally and nationally
as we'll Is within our state, has been
that no one has been willing to tell
the truth"
In conclusion, he said that we worry
more about the education OF our child
rem when the more important phase
Is education Of our adults.
