DUTIES OF REPRESENTATIVES

Hon Josephus Daniels was at his
best recently when he spoke to the
two houses of our state legislature on
the duties of the representatives of
the people.
Daniels has been quoted by advo-
Gates of prohibition in the state. They
declare that our people voted against
repeal by a majority Of $4,000,
which was Enthusiastically declaring
themselves against legalized liquor.

The $200,O0O,0O0 will not, of course,

THE PATMAN MEASURE
is VETOED

II believe that. the welfare of the
nation as we'll as the welfare of the
veterans of the nation warrants my
disapproval of this bill.".o =
So summed up the. reasons given by
President Roosevelt to Congress
Wednesday. Many agreed with the
President. Many others think that
since money is, being spent by the
billions that the soldiers are getting
the worst end of the bargain by being
denied what they calf their natural
rights.
There are always two sides to a
question and President Roosevelt is
not alone in being against the pay
ment of the bonus. President Harding
and President Coolidge. were both
against it, but this is another day.
Many Of our soldiers actually need
the money while it is true that many
of them who would quickly spend it
without any benefit to themselves.
We do not see the urgency of max
ing such an. issue out of it that it
called for the personal appearance
and personal veto Of the President.
He might have we'll used the usual
method without going out of his way
to create a precedent. Our excuse for
his doing so is that since there is SO
much sentiment. for. the bonus pay
ment abroad in the land, he prefer
red to carry his reasons for veto
directly to the people as has been his
custom since his first entrance upon
his so strenuous duties Of state.
There is wide spread belief that
sentiment for the payment has now
reached such a stage that other bills
will continue to be introduced until
one will reach compromise that the
President will have no objections to.
We have recently heard a proposal
discussed that smacks of more COM
mon sense than any we have yet
heard. The Patman bill, just vetoed,
called for issuing of treasury notes
a smell Of initiation that was objec-
tionable to many of the conservatives
of the land. This proposal would take
the money for the payment of those
certificates of soldiers who wanted to
get them cashed out Of the five billion
dollars that has already been apprc-
priated for the relief of the nation.
Those who did not feell that they
needed their money, and there are
hundreds of them, could continue to
keep it invested if the government
would make some provisions for
paying a rate of interest that would
make the certificates equal to bond.
In that instance, it would take only
about two and one-half per cent in
terest. This would give tn soldiers
who needed their money a chance to
get it; it would put the money they
did get into circulation, for those
who need it would not need it unless
they were going to pay debts, or buy
necessities; it would keep the gov
eminent from having to pay the en-
tire debt at once for many would be
glad to leave their invested if they
brought in a reasonable amount Of
interest.
President Roosevelt's arguments
were sound and sensible, but with a
nation in favor of a measure, and the
soldier vote carrying the significance
it does, we feel that the battle is not
yet lost, but that it may still be won
with a safer and saner measure than
that advocated by Mr.. Patman.

OF Dread

From the deck of the steamer,
it looked as if the boat was adrift.
At first though, it seemed to be
beating a straight course. Now it
floundered. There was no one at
the helm. At least it didn't seem
so, until Fleming Stone, well
know detective was lowered into
a dory and went aboard the ship.
He found a dead man at the
wheel and another at the engine.
They both looked like murder.
But then one looked like murder
and the other suicide and If you
looked at it too closely the other
looked like murder and the sec-
ond suicide. It was evident they
both couldn't have been suicides.
It was not only this that COM
ship there invaded an atmosphere
plicated matters but all over the
of dread as if a friend and a
murderer was still at large. Flem-
ing Stone unravelS the mystery
skillfully in "The Beautiful Dere-
lict."

Of landing privileges is based on
her own desire to establish a COM
mercial air line from Tokyo to
Manila. In the meantime, how
ever, several air transport compa-
nies are preparing their bids for
the transpacific service, in &C
cordance with the advertisement
as issued by Postmaster General
James A. Farley. 1t is specified
that:
"The frequency Of service will
be once q week each way. The
schedule to be authorized will
require continuous flights over
the route or as continuous as
may be practicable, and day or
night flying may be required.
There are incidental provisions
under which the frequency may
be increased or reduced and
under which the route may be
changed to omit points or en-
brace intermediate points being
necessary for safety in opera
tiOn or for postal purposes, also
for suspension or discontinue
ance Of service under certain
conditions"
= Details Of the type of plane to
be used in the service halfway
around the world are also stipu-
lated. For instance, it is required
that service shall be performed
by "safe and suitable aircraft,
such aircraft to be Of the multi.
motored type" capable Of sus-
tanned flight on so per cent Of its
motor power at an altitude Of
1000 feet. It must have a mini
mum-approved cruising speed Of
not less than 1875 miles an hour,
and:
''It shall have . minimum
capacity for six passengers"
Furthermore, the contracting
concern must take care of its own
details for landing planes from
here to the Far East.
Pan-American Airways, which
was responsible for the round-trip
flight from San Francisco to
Honolulu, is already making plans
in the hope Of receiving the con.
tract for carrying Uncle Sans
mails to China. Experimental
flights have been made to Homo
lulu and then to the Midway
Islands, and then to Wake Island,
little coral islands in the middle
of the vast ocean.

Marty Binn's father was killed

land was taken away from him
and he was doomed to q life OF

poses. AS rapidly as it rains, the
water quickly disappears into the
coral sand or runs into the sea.
At night, Baker Island is treated
to the Southern Cross in all its
brightness.
Howland Island, which is only
about so miles from Baker, is
near enough to be similar in
practically all respects, and then
there are 1900 more miles across
the Pacific to Jarvis, on a more
or less direct route to Australia.
Although the route to the Orient
via Wake and Guam is shorter,
experts see the necessity of ex-
ploring the channels farther to
the south for possible use in time
Of war or other emergencies inter-
fering with travel over the more
direct northern route. There are,
for instance, the japanese island
possessions just south Of japan
and near China, as well as the
Caroline and Marshall groups,
inundated to Japan by the League
of Nations, lying in the direct
path between Honolulu and
Manila. These might conceivably
harbor an enemy.
Nevertheless plans for the trans
Pacific air mail service are moving
rapidly forward, with the idea not
only of providing a direct air mail
route to the other side Of the
world, carrying the mails Of the
United States, its possessions and
foreign countries, but for another
and possibly more far-reach1ng
purpose.
That purpose is to promote more
friendly and better trade relations
with far eastern countries.

Landing Bases

Landing bases, to be used in the
proposed transpacific passenger
service, already have been estab-
lished at both of these islands,
and another is being established
at Guam, 1,450 miles nearer to
the Orient.
On these beautiful tropical
islands, where palm trees are as
common as our oaks are here, and
where dazzling sand gliStens in a
perpetual sun, the transport COM
pany has set up power plants, reg
ular radio transmission, receiving
and radio compass stations, re-
frigeration plants and all those
other things that are so necessary
for safe flying.
The crew that arrived on the
island last March to establish the
landing base gave a healthy sur.
prise to the gooney birds who have
used the island as q haven for
centuries. According to reports Of
the expedition, the goonies, thou
sands Of them, assembled on the
beach and with wagging heads
watched the operations Of the con.
Struction crews. Strangely enough,
these goonieS displayed no fear for
the men who were "trespaSsing"
on their territory.

mental flights to Sand Island in

Tropical Islands

Plans for the service over the
Pacific read like a story book.
There will be stops at the
romantic Hawaiian Islands and
at tiny uninhabited tropical
islands whose dazzling white
beaches rival Waikiki.
If present plans work out and
they are nearing completion
there will be a continuous service
between San Francisco and
Canton on the other side of the
world. The trip that takes al.
most a month by boat will be
done in a few days.
Impossible as such visionary
plans may have sounded a few
brief years ago, science has now
advanced to the point where the
United States Government is no
longer looking into the distant
future, but laying down the law
to competitive bidders on just
what equipment will be required
and just how regular the trips
must be on these jauntS to the
other side of the world.
Bids for the service will be
closed no later than October 81,
with the Post Office Department
announcing that the decision as
among the bidders will be an
nounced "aS soon as practicable
thereafter" It won't be long,
certainly not more than a few
months, and then you'll be writ
ing to your friends in China just
as you write to your Aunt Susie
in Oshkosh.
For service to China, the route
stipulated by the department is
from San Francisco to Honolulu
and Canton via Manila and re-
turn. In the event of possible
difficulties in connection with the
landing planes at Canton there
are incidental provisions in the
announcement that the route
may terminate "at a point i'm
mAdiately accessible to Canton or
at Manila, pending operating ar
rangemeCnS Tor landing at Can
ton or point adjacent"
That there may be some diff
Guilty was intimated recently with
the revelation that Japanese in
tereStS are attempting to balk the
route to China by using their COM
mercial influence in the Philippine
Islands. Confidential information
received here blames Japanese op-
position for the defeat of the Pan
American Anyways, one Of the com.
petitorS for the new route, in its
effort to obtain landing rights at
Manila from the Philippine legiS-
lature. Whether this will present
q difficult obstacle in the path Of
the transport services'S plans for
tranSpacific passenger service
through the Philippines remains to
be seen.
