SENATE KILLS
 NEPOT|SM BILL,
 MINE LAW PLAN
Upper House Divides on Relative Hire in Pub-
 lie Office Measure

Dividing four to four, the Terri torial Senate today defeated the Roden nepotism bill which would have prohibited the hiring of rela- tives by public officials Against the measure were Brunelle, Devine, Campbell and F'rawley. Supporting it were Roden, Hess, Walker and Powers.
 House bill 43, which would have repealed the present law relative to the right to use water incident to location of mining claims, also was defeated by the Senate. The existing statute gives the first locator prior right to water for mining purposes.
 The Powers measure to reim- purse William Isenmenger of Fair banks for services rendered in search for Bob Smith met defeat via the indefinite postponement route. It would have appropriated $500 to Isenmenger.
 Senator Roden brought in an- other bill today in line with several he has introduced. This measure would prohibit officers or en- ployees of the Territory or of any legal subdivision getting salaries of sl50 month or more from taking any additional employment for compensation.
 Adjourning shortly after noon, the Senate will meet again at 10 o'clock Mooday morning.

Bonus, Not Relief

The frantic efforts of the Administration spend its four
thousand million dollars of workselief money spectacle to
make angels weephe angels this being the
and their descendants who will foot the bill
Of course nobody but confirmed cync would hint that it
will be spent for political purposes
From the White House itself has the stern warning

politics is obviously eminated-and the that
be put into public works of permanent value to the country
may have go CWA" projects others of equal import
But since the money must be spent somehow and the Ad
mnistraon at its wits end to spend it, the following
sensible proposal by Representative Hamilton Fish, of New
York deserves favorable action by Congress:
PAY THE SOLDIERS BONUS uuith a portion of it.
The Ueterans haUe plenty of unemployed in their
ranks

And, finally the bonus be paid Without setting up

This last not the least for paying the bonus at

ministraton.

their fears have become fact.
From all over the country.
demands are pouring in for pOr'
tions of tie tremendous fund
that was promised to be the
"back to work" vehicle for at
least three million unemployed.
Protests over the delay in
granting PWA funds a year ago
were inconsequential compared
to the rumblings about the huge
works relief fund, they say.
The row between Secretary Of
Interior Harold L. Ickes and
FERA Administrator Harry
Hopkins, about who was going
to do what" with the money,
didn't help the situation. But
after that was ironed out on
the $4,000 basis, many applica-
tions had to be returned to ap-
plicants for revision. All of that
took time.
Red tape was as binding as
usual.
Then again it has been er-
tremely difficult, they say, to
conUince people that counties
Which did not haze unemployed
on the relief rolls should not
haze share OF the fund.
They did not believe that the
law should be administered so
that only those counties that
had relief rolls could get money
and then only so much as
Mould absorb the unemployed.
All in all, members say, they
are extremely disappointed in
the outcome thus far of the pro-
gram.

One of the greatest diff

fact that many members of

effective Federal agency cannot
be cured by the elimination Of
Eugene L. Vidal as director and
the appointment of Rex Martin,
now assistant director, as direc-
tor in place Of Mr.. Vidal.
In the political exploitation
and disruption of the aeronau-
tics branch Mr.. Martin has been
the Man Friday" of Mr.. Vidal.
Mr.. Martin has played politics
with the same recklessness as
Mr.. Vidal. Mr.. Martin has
sought political power and per-
sonal publicity with the same
avidity as Mr.. Vidal. And Mr..
Martin entered the Aeronautics
Branch with far less experience
in aviation than the present
director.
In fact, an examination of the
record will show that Mr. Mar
tin has no real qualifications
whatever for his post. He only
had the support of the Chicago
political machine, headed by the
late Mayor Cermak.
Instead of trying to learn
about his job, instead of trying
to administer it in the public
interest, instead of protesting
the unfair and costly removals
Of expert and experienced per-
sonnet of the aeronautics
branch, MIR. Martin made COM
mon cause with the political
racketeers on Mr.. Roper's per-
sonnet committee.
PART COMPANY
And finally. after looking
over the field, Mr.. Martin
undertook to prove his COM
plete SubServiency to any poll
tician in or out of the depart
ment in search of favors who
he thought could advance Mr..
Martins political fortunes.

started a secret investigation

Mr.. Martin appears to have

and begun an active campaign
to replace him.
Doubtless the politicians sup
porting Mr.. Martin have been,
and can be, more useful to the
Administration than was the
original political sponsor of Mr..
Vidal. Doubtless the Chicago po-
litical machine is more power
full than the Oklahoma political
organization.
Doubtless the political ma

would find Mr.. Martin just as
docile as Mr.. Vidal in the direc-

who fights today?" Whenever
two men met in the streets of
Paris in the Seventeenth century
those were the words Of greet
ing. Duels were fought all over
the city and at all times.
Finally Richelieu stepped in
and for a time put stop to the
brawling. The Cardinal had a
particular personal aversion to
duelling because his Oldest
brother had met his death in an
affair of honor.
Paris Is having a revival OF
duelling. Pistols and swords in
the morning are a daily occur
renee. At least a dozen bouts,
not all of them bloodless, have
been fought over the Stavisky
scandal alone.
A prominent lawyer was
wounded fighting during snow
storm. His opponents blade
just missed his jugular vein. The
public prosecutor stepped in and
sought to arrest the successful
party.
But Premier Flandin said
''No!" He did not want the
anti-duelling law held up to ridi'
cule by a trial. The law is there
but it is unenforceable and will
undoubtedly remain so until
some grave affair rouses the
nation.
PERSONAL COMBAT
The United States had such
an experience in the killing OF
Alexander Hamilton by Aaron
Burr, after which it was not
very popular in this land to seek
justice by personal combat.
The death blow had been
struck in Britain as far back as
1908 and 1918. In the earlier
year, a Major Campbell was ex-
ecuted for killing a Captain
Boyd in an encounter in which
there had been foul play; in the
later year, the surviving princi-
pal and the seconds in another
army affair were convicted and
sentenced to death. Only royal
pardon saved them, but they
were caShiered.

couraged. Hitler has decreed

Gus and hypocritical gesture.
When the President obtained
the services of Col. Monroe
johnson as Assistant Secretary
of Commerce and ordered that
he be assigned to supervise the
aeronautics branch, the public
hope was encouraged that the
colonel would be given a free
hand in the purging Of that de-
moralized and disrupted agency.
MORALE LOW
With the assistance of a Sen
ate investigating committee, this
hope can still be realized if Mr..
Roper will keep his hands off Of
the aeronautics branch and
compel his staff of Scheming
political meddlers to keep their
hands off.
Meantime, the morale Of the
aeronauticS branch is at a low
ebb. Its field service has lost
confidence in the fairness Of
those responsible for the direc-
ton of the aeronautics branch.

All over the Reich today uni
versity students are whaling
away and slashing each others
faces in their Mensuren, which
is a word meaning measures"
and which described the
sport" they glory in just as
our young men do in football.
I have described before in

Emperor William refused to

cause they developed the

After the overthrow of the

Hitler'S ascendancy brought
their revival "for the joy they

as a military axiom that good
duelists make bad Soldiers?"

Once Overs

To have all the great outdoors
around you is a temptation to
speak loud, with little regard
for musical tone.
But there are few assets more
valuable than a pleasant voice.
Do you sound hurried or in
a fret when you greet the one
who called you on the telephone?
Do you expect to get what you
ask for when you do not control
your tone?
1t is worth while to make your
speaking voice better without
sounding affected.
