THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
BY CONG. JOHN PAUL KVALE

Jubilant over their victory in the
House earlier in the week. power trust
representatives laid their plans for
an assault On the Tennessee Valley
Authority bill next week similar to
that which they staged against the
holding company bill SO successfully.
,Battering their way to victory SO
impressive that it astounded admin
istration leaders, those opposed to the
regulatory measure desired by the
President succeeded in adopting the
weaker form of the bill which was
described in this letter last week.
As aftermath of the struggle, the
Rules committee of the House Monday
begins a thorough inquiry into the
lobbying activities mentioned here
last week. The investigation will in
clude both the work of representa-
tives of the administration to gain
votes as we'll as the propaganda and
lobbying of the power trust and util-
ity holding company executives On
the Senate side. there is disposition
to broaden a similar inquiry to in
clude a study of all lobbying activ-
tiles. The writer can attest to the
fact that such an inquiry at this time
would certainly be timely, would be
in the public interest. and would dis
close some of the secret and damag-
ing opposition to the principles the
New Deal is trying to carry out.

The taxation issue looms large.
With abandonment of earlier plans.
discussed here two weeks ago, for
hasty enactment of a tax revision pro-
gram as part of the bill which was
rushed through to continue nuisance
taxes, the House Ways and Means
committee has settled down to a de-
liberate study of proposals which will
consume weeks of hearings. Treas
ury and committee experts will be
called in. and other witnesses will he
heard. From what can be learned
at this time. it appears that the COM
mittee will make a serious effort 10

net individual incomes to apply the
increased surtax rates
Progressives, both in the Senate un-
der LaFollette leadership and in the
House under the sponsorship OF the
organized group of progressive mem
bers from all parties, will seek to in
clude a heavier tax on all net in
comes. They point out that If any
citizen in these trying times has an
income sufficiently large SO that it
is subject to taxation under existing
law after the usual deductions and
allowed. such an individual not only
should pay a heavier normal tax than
the four per cent now assessed, but
the SurtaXes On a graduated basis on
larger incomes should be increased.
Whether leaders will decide to try to
sit ON the lid by choking such pro-
posals in committee and then consid-
ering the bill under a gag rule cannot
yet be foretold.
But it is clearly the most trying
issue now before Congress, and unless
leaders change their minds and bow
to heat and fatigue to recess the ses-
sion until the autumn months, the
tax issue and the others which have
been discussed here will keep the
legislative body in the sweltering
Capitol City for several weeks to
come Most of them agree that they
will be here until we'll along in Au-
gust. with the present program before
them.

And when this letter is published
the story will have been written about
the iva bill fight mentioned above
in connection with the holding COM
pany bill. From all indications, it
promises to be the same kind OF
knock-down. drag-out scrap that char
acterized the holding company bill
fight In the latter, the House avoided
the necessity of going on record by
roll-call vote, but in consideration Of
the IVA bill the issue will be more
clearly and definitely drawn, with the
possibility that the public interest
will be better served, and the chances
of victory over representatives of the
selfish corporations a little brighter.
Friends of the iva are deeply con-
cerned. for the bill as reported in
their minds is a complete surrender
to the power. coal and aluminium in
terests, and is worse than no legisla-
ton at all. They will make a des-
perate fight to amend the bill on the
floor so that it more closely approx
imates the bill which the Senate
passed some time ago, and which is
in line with the desires of the Pres
ident, Senator Norris and other
friends of the great iva development.

And as the House proceeded to cut
the vitals out of the securities con-
troll bill. and send it back to the Sen
ate in such wretched condition that
administration leaders did not know
whether to abandon the fight entirely
or try to improve il in conference to
the point where they could hope for
Presidential approval. another grim
and significant battle reached its
climax in the Senate Banking COM
mittee. There the friends of the
powerful private banking interest had
their way, with the result that the
administration proposed bill was
hacked to pieces. its most important
provisions for government control Of
credit and enforcement of banking
and securities business eliminated
and the bill reported to the Senate
in that form 1t eliminates for the time
being the feud between Senator Glass
and Governor Eccles of the Federal
Reserve. The latter is the Utah lib
eral who has been directing the Pres
ident's fight TO curb the power of the
money changers" to which he re-
ferred in his memorable inaugural
address.
OF course the bill will be consid-
cred at length on the Senate floor.
and the amendments there offered
may undo some of the damage which
the committee wrought. But it is a
distinct setback. and adds another
disappointing chapter to the record
of the present session of Congress in
meeting proposals of the New Deal
for reforms in the gravely important
issues such as control of the power
trust. social security, currency and
credit reform, agricultural legisla-
ton, taxation, and other matters.

Eskimos Always Hospitable

Two of us decided to stay in the North. Up to this time there had been no white men north of St. Michael. wanted to go hunting and went out with the EskimOs. At this time there were only few rifles among them and most of them were using bows and arrows. In the fall I started for Point Barrow. I did not know exactly where it was and had no map, but I went along from settlement to settlement until I reached there the 26th day of De- cember... Everywhere l. stopped l found the people very hOspitable and kind. They showed not the slightest bit of inquisitiveness con- corning my. destination or errand. They were so hospitable that 1 could not tell them when was going to leave or the women folk would feed my dogs too much the night before and could not travel E. NIT. Brewer told of an occasion when he was lost for several days and thirteen year old Eskimo girl trailed him alone ~f6f more than fifty miles,. The only time he was not received hospitably was on his first trip to Point Hope where the chief of the Eskimo tribe took him out and showed him a rack and his pri- vate burial ground where five men lay buried and hinted that he might be the next victim if he did not leave. But on his return to the same village some time later he was received very hospitably- by. the same chief and was taken on g whale hunt with him.

 Before they would let him joir them, however, because of their SUI perstitions and taboos, conference: with the shamans or devil drivers were necessary.
 There was much beating of drums and frances on the part of the sham ans. Finally one decided I would

Another disclosed the fact that the boat in which I would go would get three whales. This settled the matter and I was granted permission, The next morning when I awoke I found that everything I had had disappeared. On looking over the boats and hunt ing equipment found not a trace of the white man."
 First to Learn of Blond" Eskimos
 Mir. Brewer, who is member of the Explorers Club of New York City, has met all the members of Polar and Arctic expeditions which have passed through Point Barrow. He met StefanSson when he first came to Barrow in 1910. MT. Brow CT told Stefansson of the so-called N''blond Eskimos" (so named by New York journalists, he said) who had been first discovered in Victoria Land by party he sent out in 1907. Stefansson rediscovered them and took the news to the States.
 Concerning the snow houses of the Eskimos, the speaker said: "Mr, Stefansson says people in Point Bar row never build them. He is mis- taken. They have always done so and do so even today. Especially when out hunting or trapping do they build these snow houses. They are used about two weeks when they become unfit for habitation l Another house Is built along side the old one, and they move from one to the other"

MAN WHO HAS SPENT FIFTY YEARS AT FARTHEST NORTH AMERICAN COMMUNITY TELLS OF HIS EXPERIENCES.

Mir Brewer told of the universal hearty hospitality of the Eskimos, even those who had never seen white men before he came among them, of his friendship with Stefansson and Eielson, of whale hunting with the natives, of carrying the news of the gold strike at Nome to St. Mich ael, of the first discovery of the so- called blond Eskimos," of the great bird migrations that cover the sky over Point Barrow from one end of the horizon to the other, and many other curious and unique experien- ces of his fifty years in the Arctic

HORRIBLE TOLL

Travel the highways of the United States ap-
parently is becoming and hazardous.
The toll is climbing year after year.
The census bureau of the federal government
has announced that during the year 1894 there
were 1880 fatalities on the highways due to mo-
tor accidents, representing Is per cent gain over
the number reported 1888.
The 1884 total the largest in history and
this seems somewhat unusual when it is considered
that the federal government, the newspapers Of
the nation and other agencies have redoubled their
efforts during the last few years to urge upon mo-
tor car drivers the necessity of care and caution
on the highways. These efforts have been coupled
with steps to make the highways saver by the elm
nation of dangerous curves, grade-crossings etc.
The 1884 death rate averaged 26.9 persons out
of every 1000, OOO as compared with the 1888 aver
age of 23.3.
Indications are that the 1885 death rate will b.
even higher, according to the census bureau.
Surely there is means Of curbng reckless
and dangerous driving which is accounting for
large number of these fatalities Perhaps little
more rigid treatment by the courts of the reckless
and dangerous drivers will accomplish something
along this line. Certainly it ought to be tried--

THE REAL CRIME PREVENTERs

Private citizens and must have real part
in any effective crime prevention efforts in their
communities or the state
Public officials and law enforcement officers are
necessarily engaged chiefly in the detection AMI
punishment of criminals.
Which is only incidentally and by indirection sup
posed to be preventative of other crime
Crime prevention is chiefly the work of private
citizens and civic organizations by education, lead
ership and training.
That at least is the idea behind "crime proven
ton conferences.
That is why representatives of churches and civic
organizations, social workers, members of parent
teacher associations, and others especially interest
ed in combating crime attend such conferences. as
well as members of the bench and the bar and other
law enforcement officers
Upon those former groups must fall the burden
of any real crime prevention.
The courts and the police can do something also.
but not much. Theirs it is to punish.
Upon the average, ordinary citizen, therefore,
falls the task of preventing crime if crime is to he

saved from beginning life of crime-Rock Hill

WHO OWES YOU a LIVING?

Millions of people are being educated In our
country today to believe that someone owes them
living. The laws of nature do not seem to recog-
nze this doctrine.
Just go out into primitive country and see VINO
owes who lving-you will soon find that your
existence depends on your ingenuity and initiative
Governments were organized to go nature one
better and make it little easier to live and to
take care of the helpless whom nature would other
wise unceremoniously remove.
But today millions of perfectly happy, able
bodied people are being taught to loaf at the ex-
pense of the savings, of others, instead of to rustic
for themselves.
Such a system endure only so long as there
are stored-up savings to conscate then the inevor
able laws of nature will prevail.
An epidemic of pests completely devours a tree
or a field of grain, and then the pests die Nature
does not owe them living.
The same thing can happen to governments and
to the human beings who make the governments
if they eat up their capital to maintain idleness
they will eventually find that nature refuses to hear
their demands that someone owes them living.
This may not be a notwithstanding philosophy
but it is a fact which honey-coated political cure
alls try to hide.-Gaffney Ledger.
