 Bonus Bloc Watching
 The house bonus bloc, led by Rep Wright Patman, d., Tex, and his steering committee of 20 mem- bers, is expected to fight for an amendment which would provide for use of the estimated $S40.000.- 900 new revenues to retire the $2,- 900. 900, 1000 soldiers bonus, payable in new money.
 Opponents of the federal gaso- inc tax. and of other nuisance lev ies would be able to force house votes on abolition proposals if the bill is brought in without benefit of a gag.

From the enterprising metropo-
lis Of Detroit a valued reader
sends the following suggestion,
which will interest the American
people, whether it is adopted or
rejected by President Roosevelt:
with reference to Mr.. Roose-
velt's recent statement that the
people of Nebraska should insist
upon Senator Norris accepting
another term as United States
Senator, the thought has occurred
to me that the President has the
power to save the nation from
the loss which the retirement
from the public service of Senator
Norris would inflict by appointing
him Postmaster General, when,
as and If Mr.. Farley makes good
his oft repeated promise to re-
linquish that office soon
Senator Norris has long been
an earnest advocate Of the ex-
tension Of the Civil Service
through the Post Office and other
executive departments of the Fed
eral Government.
PLACE TO BEGIN
1.-THE Post Office Department
would appear to be a good place
to begin to clean UP the melan-
choly condition in the Federal
Service which is directly due to
the extension of the spoils system,
since Mr.. Farley insisted upon
holding the three offices of Chair
man of the Democratic National
Committee, Chairman Of the Demo
cratic State Committee of New
York and Postmaster General of
the United States.
Cleaning up the Post Office
Department and purging the
postal service would be a worthy
cause to which the able Senator
from Nebraska might well devote
his talents with continued advan.
tage to the whole country"
Had Mr.. Roosevelt taken the
advice and counsel Of Senator
Norris, offered in the first year of
the Administration, Mr.. Farley
would at that time have been re-
quired to choose which one Of
his three offices he would retain
and which of the remaining two
he would relinquish.
With a courage typical Of his
entire public service Senator Nor.
ris in December, 1888, made this
declaration:
mo man should have control OF

INLAND WATERWAYS

Witnesses of the inland water
way movement are becoming
more and more convinced that
the program is confronted with
obstacles increasing in gravity.
Partly with the aid Of some Of
ficials, the railroads and certain
other interests are doing their Ut
most. openly and secretly, to slow
I'D and block development Of in
land waterway navigation.
The winter and the next session
of Congress is expected to provoke
considerable controversy on the
subject of enlargement OF the IN
land waterway system, with a view
to forcing reductions in freight
rates because of barge competl-
tion.
Although a large portion Of the
talk is expected to be political pa
laver, there is some evidence that
there may arise in washington a
demand for a policy of tense and
continued pressure to expedite I'M
provement of the rivers and force
low rates which would be bene-
ficial to farmers, shippers and
business generally.
AS demands increase for devel'
opnent of the waterways, oppos1'
ton of the railroads and others
increases, however, so that the
next session may pass without any
definite steps being taken to in
crease barge commerce.

SQUIRREL MIGRATIL rs

It has appeared to this writer
that, sooner or later, when we
are Stumped for an explanation Of
an event. we charge it up to sun
spots. The weather is so disposed

And now, at least, even such

ness as squirrel behavior-the
squirrel being our pet symbol OF
"goofy" conducts linked to
those random excrescences on the
face of old Sol. There seems to
be nothing left but the eccentrici-
ties of the New Deal to be so
explained.
1t is the latest of the big squir-
rel migrationS, from New England
westward into New York, that
again makes pertinent the varying
and sometimes conflicting expla-
nations of this sudden squirrel
wanderlust. H. E. Anthony, cura-
tor of the Department of Nam
mology of the American Museum
of Natural History, has noticed
the troublesome coincidence" IN

ship which he can't explain-and
certainly there is nothing more
puzzling in the infinite nexus Of
causation than the connection be-
tween the flick of a sun spot and
the itch in a squirrels hind foot.
UNKNOWN CAUSES
But in science, as in love and
politics, one thing leads to an
other. The greatest New England
squirrel migration occurred 176
years ago. In 1919, virtually all
the squirrels in Ohio started NOV
ing all at once. In 1866, there were
tremendous migrations in differ.
ent parts of the country. In 1883,
they were suddenly swimming the
Allegheny River in Pennsylvania,
with an estimate of 10000 Squir-
rels to the square mile.
All the stories Of the great squir-
rel migrations of the past say they
swan rivers, Swarmed through
houses and fields, destroying crops,
allowing nothing to divert them.
But in 1888 they were turned back
by rivers, and even by traffic cops.
There is a well-authenticated story
that II of them whisked onto the
Yonkers ferryboat, dodging hands,
and debarked at Alpine, on the
Jersey side: but, on the whole,
they were in no such do-ordie
mood as their ancestors.
Is it possible that the squirrels,
like the rest Of us, are losing their
pioneering and ventureson1e spirit?
Man has greatly affected the COM
ings and goingS Of the animals,
and there are scientists who say
tina the life force-the "elan
vital"-is beginning to ebb. There
is possibly bewilderment in the
world Of quadrupeds, too.
