ageurS, railroad promoters and a
long stream of pre-war irnni-
grants in oX-drawn ConeStogas,
Edmonton once laid itself out to
accommodate a million souls, with
Jasper-av, its main street, as wide
as New Orleans Canai-St.
The town sees the joke now, but
it had good time planning for
the million.
Edmonton treated the arrival
of Mr.. Aberhart and his Social
Credit regime with levity. Edmon-
tonians are likely to be gravely
frivolous.
The other day when the tenn
perature rose from As below to %
below, an Edmontonian assured
me that, with spring obviously
near, he intended securing his
plow. The Premier became Able"
in the talk of all ranks.
The press gleefully reported a
straying wife in Denver, Colo,
writing to ask the Premier if she
might have S25 month if she re-
turned to her Alberta husbands

tropical current, never freezing,
overhung wintry Edmonton at
height of 300 feet. He attributed
1t to freakish air current from
the Rockies, but university wits
ascribed the hot-air field to Social
Credit propaganda.
IGNORING the wags and
4 conscious of his own destiny,
Mr.. Aberhart, however, took hold
of the provinces affairs with a
firm hand.
Too firm hand, some said,
complaining that he gave signs of
running the government as one
man show in like manner as he
had dominated school, institute
and Social Credit campaign. En-
ergetically, he tackled the $18,-
100000 mess" inherited from the
Farmer government.
When the Farmers took office in
1921, committed to expensive gov
eminent ownership and subsidy
enterprises, the funded debt stood
at $50000,000. By 1885, it had risen
to nearly $160,O00,00O.
Mr.. Aberhart found a current
deficit of $2,810,000 The provinces
revenues had shrunk along with
the citizens incomes. Bond issues
due, bank loans and interest were
rated at something more than
S14,000,000. The provinces debt to
the dominion for its share of I'M
employment relief had reached
$1,250,0O0
The only source of succor lay in
the East. Mr.. Aberhart shrewdlv

Amiable men and plausible. they
may have reminded him of the
bank managers with whom he had
served on civic committees in
Calgary.
Principal Aberhart was a neigh
borly man, honest and thrifty,
who until Douglas came his way
had respected bankers as pillars of
the community he adorned.
Although he warned eastern
Canada in a speech at Seaforth,
on the first visit East, that it
might "see blood running down
the streets" if it refused to CO.

Aberhart assured a reporter for

" Gov. Alf Landon of Kansas
has been reaping SO much big
business support in the East re-
Gently that it worries him.
Not long ago he got a confiden-
tial invitation from q big banker
close to j. P. Morgan, urging that
he come incognito to New York
and spend a week end on Long Is

most important executives, it was
explained, were anxious to get
acquainted with him.
If they liked him-and this par

would-it would mean real money
in support of Landon.

sent blunt negative. He said he

davit said, Bell came to him and
said if he would post $11.70 col.
lateral he would be turned loose.
Bolton posted the collateral and
was released. He was told, at the
time, his affidavit states, that he
would not have to appear for trial.
Following the reading of the af-
fidavit, Capt. Vincent D. Cockey,
a member of the board, moved
that Bell be suspended pending a
hearing describing Bell as "un-
suitable" to serve the public and
a desk clerk who has no authority
to make arrests"
Joseph H. Blanford, a dairy
farmer and a member of the
board, offered an amendment to
Captain Cockey's motion which
had the effect of defeating Cock
eyS' motion. Mr.. Blanford moved
that the county commissioners take
no action other than to send the
affidavit to the grand jury for
study by that body when it re-
convened. Mr.. Blanford's amend
ment carried 81, Captain Cock
ey's being the sole negative vote.
This brought an outburst from
the captain, who declared he was
responsible for Bells appointment
in the first place but that since
| that time Bells actions and "miS-
use of police authority" made it
impossible for Captain Cockey to
justify retaining the man as an
employ Of Prince Georges county.
Blanford countered with the
statement he wanted thorough
investigation of the police depart
ment but he thinks the Grand
Jury better equipped to conduct
such investigation. Captain
Cockey replied that 1t was not a
question Of criminal action against
Bell but one of his suitability to
serve the public. He declared:
"We are being subjected to a
great deal of criticism and we
cannot close our eyes to all this.
We are paying salaries to men
who are preying on the public
it is just banditry on the road"
Immediately after the debate on
Captain Cockey'S motion, H. Win
ship Wheatley, attorney for the
mayor and common council Of
Hyattsville, read letter drafted at
a meeting of the Hyattsville coun-
Gil last night in which that COM
munity complained bitterly that
the county commissioners were not
doing anything to either prove or
disprove the charges which are be-
mig made against the county police
station in Hyattsville and said that
the town of Hyattsville wishes
most whole-heartedly to move the
police station out of Hyattsville to
any other place in the metropoli-
| tan area.

J. o. Burnham, popular Internal

a meeting last night marked with

Mr.. Burnham, perennial leader,

large Treasury organization, and
last night was seated amid cere-
monies by Ulrey j. Biller. seventh

Other officers installed we're:

the inaugural chairman, but will
be a member of the committee
close to the top where he can be
reached for advice.
Other possibilities today include
Joseph E. Davies, former Federal
Trade Commission chairman and
one of the original Wilson Demo
Gratis who not only refused to
take a walk" with his old aSSo-
ciates, John w. Davis and Alfred
Smith, but who stuck close to the
Roosevelt organization. He head
ed successfully the local Roosevelt
Nominators' drive and early IN

close to the head men in the
Democratic national committee
headquarters in New York city.
This appointment gave notice to
one and all that Joseph E. Davies
is close to the White House. He
has had experience in organiZa-
tion and there is no reason why
he should not be picked by the
President.
Allen Considered
Another name is that of Com
missioner George E. Allen. He is
recognized at the White House
as man who knows how to do a
big job in a hurry and with a
little more results than expected.
His name has been mentioned
for the job at the White House.
At present it seems likely that if
he does not receive the main ap-
pointment as chairman he will
have a staff appointment of
great responsibility.
Malcolm McConihie, Demo

for the District. may be appointed.
If not he will in all likelihood be

tee. Other names include John
