MORE THAN POLITICS

(The ST. Paul Daily News)
| Obviously the one way to discredit
the revelations of lobbying and big
fees being paid former government
officials to defeat utility legislation is
to make it appear just a bit of pol
itics.
! Patrick j. Hurley, former Repub-
lican secretary of war, sought to do
that when he appeared before the
senate lobby Investigating. committee
Wednesday. Mr.. Hurley was at his
OratOrical best and admitted that his
concern had received not only $4,000
but in all 100000 from the AssOci-
ated Gas & Electric Co. for legal
advice and making appointments with
| ficials.
He objected to being singled out and
as result forced out the information
that Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to
President Woodrow Wilson. and John
w. Davis, Democratic Presidential
candidate and now leading member
of the Liberty league, had also been
on the utility payrolls.
This would serve to show that DEM
Ocrats as we'll as Republicans have
been enriched in advising the utilities
"a situation which is well known
and shows that the party labels mean
nothing when it comes to more sub
stantial considerations.
Nor is this to say that there is any
thing Illegal or even improper in the
employment of these eminent men to
defeat efforts for regulation of these
powerful and important business en-
terprises. To obtain office and gradu-
ate into the class of lawyers who
can make contacts and big fees is the
legitimate goal of many an enterpris-
ing politician.
The important points are that the
utilities found it worth while to eX-
pend such huge sums to avoid federal
regulation, that the real head of one
large concern continues to dodge all
efforts to bring him in for an ex-
PLANTATION of financial transactions
which on their face Indicate that he
was prOfiting at the expense alike of
his own stockholders and the public,
and that such large sums are avail
able for these purposes when con-
sumers of electric power are assured
that they are getting it for the low
est possible costs.
The lobby Investigations may be
politics but they reveal some practices
by certain utilities quite expensive
to Americans who have to pay their
monthly gas and electric bills.

The wrestling match in Mexico City

HOW TO RID YOUR
CAR OF ROAD OIL

The state highway department
recognizes the fact that even
though modern precautions are
taken to avoid a continued traffic
embarrassment due to fresh tar on
the highways which are given the
application, there still remains the
menace of fresh tar getting on
automobiles. In this connection
a solution for removing bituminous
material from automobiles which
have been spattered while going
over freshly tarred roads is offered
as follows:
Apply a mixture of one part
lubricating oil to four parts of
gasoline allowing this to remain
on the spattered surface about five
minutes then wash off with soap
and water. This should be done
before the bitumen has had
chance to harden"

OBSERVATIONS
By Cong. ELMER J. RYAN

The Farm Credit Administrator
has announced that the various pro-
ductiOn credit associations throughout
the country are equipped to make
loans to farmers on the security OF
grain held for sale and stored on the
farm. The amount of the loans will
depend upon the needs of the borrow
er and the security offered.
Some of the privileges" of Con
gressmen which are not generally
known to the public are as follows:
Members are given Congressional
tags to affix to the license plates of
their automobiles. This entities them
to park their cars anywhere in the
District of Columbia regardless of
parking restrictions.
The District police force and city
government are controlled by Con-
gress. If a Congressman who viO-
lates traffic regulations is approached
by a policeman, all he need do to
avoid censure is to make his identity
known.
Members are frequently called upon
to fix traffic violation tags for UNI
lucky citizens.
There are House and Senate barber
shops in the office buildings and in
the Capitol. Senators have their bar
bering done at government expense;
House members pay for theirs.
Only members of the House and
Senate and their guests can eat in
the House and Senate restaurants.
The Senators have a trolley in their
subway to transport them from their
office building to the Capitol; House
members walk.

There is great danger threatening
the continuance of the AAA program
in the form of the many legal actions
brought against processing taxes ny
packers and millers on constitutional
grounds.
Processing taxes, which furnish the
funds for benefit payments to farmers,
have been held unconstitutional by
many lower courts. The amendments
to the Agricultural Adjustment Act
which have now passed both houses
are intended to remove some of the
objections which have been stressed
in the courts.

something bright and artificial and

FLYING

TINE seadrome discussion is wax
Il ing hot-some experts say the
seadrome is just the thing and 9TH
ers claim it is not worth sea-water
to sink it,
Our alert director of the Buxeau
of Air Commerce, Eugene Vidal,
who picked up his air information
in the best possible manner-by do
ing his own flying-has rightly de-
cided that the seadrome idea can't
be proved or disproved by dispute.
Consequently, he is sponsoring a
program for building portion Of
one floating platform to be thor
oughly service tested.
Transatlantic flying of the future
is in sore need of information that
can only be obtained by actual sea-
drome experiments, regardless of
whether they are successes or fail
ures. In aviation. the only safe way
is to build a sample Of something
and try it out. That's why we have
wind tunnels.

idea is sound-not only for air
transportation over oceans, but for
