CUTTING LIBERAL WHO SUPPORTED
ROOSEVELT AND BROKE WITH HIM

WASHINGTON. May 7U.P)-The
death of Sen. Bronson Cutting
CRep), New Mexico. in an airplane
crash Monday opened a gap in the
front rank of American political
liberals.
Cutting was an effective member
of the powerful senate progressive
group which has been forcing sue
cesSiVe administrations toward poll
cies denounced by conservative
statesmen as radical.
Cutting went to southwestern
journalism and ultimately politics
from background of wealth in the
east. He inherited a fortune and
like President Roosevelt, was edu-
Gated at Groton school and Har-
ward
When a handful of progressive
Republican senators bolted the then
President Hoover in 1882, Cutting
was among them. With Sen. George
w. Norris (Rep0, Nebraska, and
Sen. Robert M. LaFollette (Prog0 3,
Wisconsin, Cutting campaigned for
Roosevelt and the new deal
LaFollette was in Cuttings office
today when the news came that
the senator was dead. He stumbled
into a chair and almost fell to the
floor in the first moment of agita-
ton.
Senator Cuttings friendship with
President Roosevelt cooled a few
months after the Inauguration and
finally came to an end. Cutting
was hurrying back to Washington
today to speak and vote for the
Patman currency-issue bonus bill
which Mr. Roosevelt has promised
to veto.
They disagreed over the 1888
economy act which slashed the
compensation of all veterans and

have caused the new deal to op

the election last November.

cratic member of the house, op-

rat, seeing Buney hopping up to
her class room very early, told her:
Surprise
You II have a surprise this
morning, Buntyl"
Sure enough, the little rabbit had
real surprise. There in the box
of earth that was the school garden,
something green was growing.
some tiny spears of bright green
were coming up in the corner where
the flax seeds had been planted.
There were some feathery green
sprouts were the carrot seeds had
been planted. In the corner where
pieces of potatoes with "eyes, - or
seeds, had been buried in the warm
earth, were some little scots of
darker green. And when Bunty
looked to where the bean seeds had
been planted she had the greatest
surprise of all.
"Oh!" exclaimed the little Or
phan rabbit, "the beans didn't like
being planted They're pushing
themselves out!"
Truly, it seemed SO, for on top
of the light green stem that had
pushed itself out of the earth were
pieces of the beans the children
had planted. The beginnings of
two tiny green curls were to be
seen, but there was also part of
the planted bean right on top.
oh look, Miss Mouse!" cried
Bunty, as the teacher came in the
room. We'll have to plant the
beans over. They didn't like their
beds in the brown earth and
they're popping out.
"Oh, Bunty!" laughed Miss
Mouse, II must say, though I am
not making fun of you, that you
don't know beansw Bunty laughed
and then Miss Mouse explained
that when beans are planted in
warm, moist earth, they burst
apart and from the middle of the
bean a tiny seed begins to grow.
The seed, which has inside it the
start Of the vine and pods and
beans, pushes up through the earth
the hard parts, or the shell of the
beans, as this case is no longer
needed.
The hard or shell part of the

bean is only there to protect the
little seed inside as the shell of a
nut protects the kernal," said Miss
Mouse. Then Bunty and the 9TH
er children who had by this time
come to school, understood about
beans and didn't want to plant
them over again. So the school
garden grew merrily, the carrots,
beans and potatoes pushing them
selves up higher and higher each
day
Another morning when Bunty
hoped to school she saw that. dur
ing night, in one corner of the gar
den was quite a large patch of
green.
"Oh, look at the grass in our
garden, Miss Mouse!' she called
"See the tall grassd 1 didn t know
we planted grass!"
THAT isn't grass, Bunty, it is
flax" said Miss Mouse. 1T has
grown very fast in the night and,
truly, it looks like grass. Isn't it
beautiful"
Yes, it is said Bunty. And I
thought it was grass. Please, Miss
Mouse, could you tell us some
thing about flax
Here comes Uncle Wiggily, - said
Miss Mouse. III let him tell"
The bunny gentleman laughed
when he heard about Bunty's grass,

contest of that election was pend
ing when Cutting died.
New MeXicos governor is a DEM
ocrat and presumably will appoint
Chavez to the senate vacancy.
One of Cuttings last senate
fights was for specific ALLEGATION
of work relief funds to continue
schools which are being forced to
close this week because of lack of
funds. A compromise provision was
written into the bill
Just before that he sought to end
the system whereby representatives
of house and senate are named to
obtain compromise agreement on
legislation which has passed both
houses in frequently fundamentally
diverging form.
Cutting argued that the confer
ees frequently made changes be-
yond all authorization from the
bodies they represented and that
congress had, in fact, permitted
third legislative chamber to develop
on Capitol Hill One of his prin-
cipal objections was to secrecy with
which legislative conferences are
surrounded.
Cutting was born June 90, 1888,
in Oakdale, Long Island, N. Y, the
son of William Bayard and Olivia
Peyton Cutting. He was educated
at the fashionable Groton school
in Massachusetts and at Harvard.
His high scholastic standing at
Harvard, from which he graduated
in 1910, won him membership in
Phi Beta Kappa.
Immediately after his graduation
at the age of % he moved to Santa
Fe, became publisher of the Santa
Fe New Mexican and became inter-
ested in Progressive politics. He
was treasurer of the Progressive
, state central committee form 1912
to 1914 and chairman from 1914 to
1916.
Cutting held no public office,
however, until in 1927 he was ap-
pointed by Gov. Richard c. Dillon
to fill the senate seat left vacant
by death of Sen. Andrieus A. Jones.
In 1928 he was elected for a full
siX-year term.
The senator never married.

for creation of a state force with
full police powers under direction

Rep. Maury Maverick CDem0 a

idea of another sort. He wants ev-
cry boy and girl in the country to
have an opportunity to visit the
capital
He would build a huge camp
where the youngsters could stay
and thus avoid the expense Of hotel
bills. He wants to set off a tract

houses, a central cookhouse and

ments, etc.
Maverick believes camp could
be built for $l5O,OOO to 100000 with
ample facilities TO house and feed
4" all the kids in the country"
A fee of 25 cents per visitor a
day would be charged to make the
camp Self-supporting. Maverick
would limit the stay Of any group

ernment agencies loan equipment
