Have We Waited Too Long?

There is every indication that demo- cratic legislators, backed by democratic state officials, who needed nothing more than their recent endorsement at the polls, will endeavor to make the coming General Assembly session momentouS one by the magnitude of it's institutional building plans The only question In the mind of this writer is have we waited too long to put the much-delayed program into execution. There is no doubt that it should have been started on far greater scale than that attempted some years back. Had our republican friends been at all concerned over state institu- tions they would have taken the plunge long before the depression struck this state.
 However, that's an old story too often rehashed. The thing to do now IS to plunge in where we should have almost ten years ago and by dint of much exer- tion make up for lost time. The cost will be high. We can't very well avoid it. Per .haps some way out of financial puzzle may be found but so far as we can see the only way is to take the plunge and then assume the debt. We might men, tion ways and means of increasing state revenue but we had perfectly good commission named to do that several years back and when its recommen- dations were not accepted in toto what chance would our amateur ones stand.
 As facts now stand institutional de- mands in cold cash total almost SIS, ,0OO,- 900. The only way the state could finance SIS 100000 program now would be through bond issues. Democrats only needed this last election to be convinced that the voters of the state aren't con- mitted now, If they ever were, to the pay as-you-go plan indefinitely. Whether or not federal aid for most of the proposed projects will or can be secured depends, of course, on what the state decides to do and what overtures 1t makes to WPA officials.
 Our only hope is that we haven't waited too long to interest Uncle Sam in our mtich-needed institutional building pro- gram. It would be the irony of fate to

They're still talking about the St. Law renee to the sea waterway via the United States. We thought that the project was definitely squelched some years back when Congress put the quietus on the plan. But, no, it crops up every so often until sufficient momentum has been acquired to bring the matter into the leg islative halls down at Washington. Now there's sentiment behind plan to build the seaway via Lake Champlain, thus throwing Vermont and perhaps New Eng land behind the move New York and Vermont interests are believed responsi- ble for this latest outbreak. It is SUD- posed to be slam at the railroads servic- ing these sections of the country for what the interests concerned in the waterway term "poor transportation facilities. Whether it will get beyond the discussion stage depends to a great extent on the Hobby" that the concerned parties can create.

New York state is nothing if not de- termined to take front rank as the pro- tector of the dumb animal The state isn't content with having passed law making it criminal offense for motor ist to drive away after striking an animal without offering aid or finding out if death has been caused, but now a New York city justice has ruled that "any man who kicks dog deserves punch in the eye" It all came about through an al- tercation arising between two men exer- cising two dogs. Any dog expert would tell you it's bad business to kick a dog in any situation.

 House Contest
 The bitter battle of 1895 over the Holding Company Act will be fought all over again in the next House. The issue will be raised by the Administration in an attack on the validity of the election of Benjamin Jarrett, re- publican of Farrell, Pa.
 Jarrett defeated Representative D. J. Driscoll, fake telegram ex- poser and democrSt, by 8 close margin although Pennsylvania went democratic by a landslide vote. New Dealers charge that the trick was turned through H. legal electioneering methods by vengeful utility interests.
 Senator Joe Guffey, admiriistra- tion big-gun, tried to persuade the Senate Campaign Investigat- ing Committee to go to bat for Driscoll. But Chairman Angus tine Lonergan, 8 democrat who voted against the power law, re- fused on the ground that the sen- ate has no Jurisdiction over House contests.
 After Jarrett's Scalp
 Baked in this quarter, the in- ner circle has decided to go af- ter Jarrett's scalp on the floor of the House. His right to hold his seat will be challenged, and the entire holding company issue will be injected into the fight.
 Privately, Administrationites are hot under the collar over Dris- coils defeat. They consider it retaliatory act by power interests, which must be met with a vigor- ous counter-blow to prove that the Administration supporters cannot be attacked with impunity.
 The President is personally in- terested in the matter, ant favors floor battle to restore Driscoll to his seat. Hands

 That moral is::. KEEP
 All of the Roosevelt Brain Trusters who made headlines now are out. On the other hand, some of the originals still are op- erating-but under cover. Rea- son: They never made the head lines.
 Most famous Brain Trusters were Professor Raymond Moley, James Warburg and Professor Tugwell. Moley was the most spectacular. He liked to stage sudden airplane flights and make surprise visits to the yacht Am- berjack. He was here, there and everywhere. He lived for the spotlight. He was the first to go.
 As assistant secretary of state he lasted only six months.
 Tugwell was very much the opposite. He did not like the Iimelight, but natural events forced him into 1t. He had ideas. He was active. He was a unique personality. Under these circumstances, the spot light was unavOidable-much as he hated 1t.
 Also, some of his friends were not overly discreet. Mrs. Henry Wallace, officiating at a chrysan- themum show, saw a gorgeous flower made by crossing Gen eral Pershing" with John Balm CT" and named it "Rexford Guy Tugwell." He will never live that down.
 History, however, will give Tug well much higher place In the New Deal than his critics do now. But the spotlight was his un- doing.
 Background Brain Trusters
 On the other hand, the man Tugwell is now working for, Charles Taussig, president of the American Moliasses company, also an original Brain Truster. But he remains in the background. No one ever hears about him, yet he has helped inspire some of the most important projects In the New Deal-the Youth Adminis- tration, regulation of the stock market and many others.
 Another background Brain Truster is Adolf Berle. City Chamberlain of New York, and attorney for Taussig. (Taussig, Tugwell and Berle now will be grouped together in one firmo
 Berle commutes back and forth between Washington and New York-usually in upper berths-- assists in the writing of some or the Presidents most important speeches, puts his finger in all sorts of New Deal pies, yet never gets in the headlines.
 Another important back xrounder is Judge Sam Rosen- man of the New York supreme court. also an original Brain Truster. Able. liberal and kind- ly, he never appears in the open. But during the crucial stages of the recent campaign. 1t was Rosenman who lived as the White House, traveied with the President on the Campaign Special.

D0LES RETURN
SAID TO LOOM

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. (UP)
The Philadelphia federal court
decision giving war veterans job
preference under the $4,0O0,000,-
600 work-relief program. held out
the possibility today of forcing
return to the dole in some see
tons until the case is finally de-
cided by the U. S. supreme court.
The ruling, which the New
Deal will fight with all its legal
strength. also added insecurity to
the livelihood of 100000 needy
now at work and their 100000
dependents.
The decision rendered by Judge
George A. Walsh, is effective on
ly in his own district. He decided
that any able-bodied war veteran
presenting honorable discharge
papers to work-relief office,
should be given a job, even if it
means the discharge of a regular
WPA worker to make room for
him.
The works progress administra-
ton, since inception of its pro-
gram last April, has been assign
ing work on only one qualifica-
tion-relief roll status regardless
of former service records. The
policy was ordered by President
Roosevelt.
Work-relief officials said the
$4,000 WPA workers in Philadel-
phia would receive their BIZ
monthly paycheoks today. After
that, according to Deputy Admin
istrator Corrington Gill, their sta
tus will be doubtful.
If Judge Walsh's order still is in
effect, WPA will be restrained
from paying out its funds in his
area of jurisdiction. The needy,
many of them impoverished, will
require funds.
WPA may be forced to return
to direct relif to keep its charges
in food, shelter and fuel. Similar
action might be necessary in 9th
er sections if more federal judges
rule similarly to Walsh.
Meanwhile, Gill announced
WPA and the department of JUS
tice were planning to fight Judge
Welsh's ruling. If he resuses to
grant stay of execution of his
decree, the Government will lear
ythe case to the Circuit Court
of Appeals.

swollen stream and poled the muir

farmer, whose disappearance has

Baker disappeared Sunday on
night night. His automobile,
wrecked and bloodstained, was
found near the ice-coated bridge.
A few feet away was a button

At first, investigating officers
thought the young farmer ,dazed
by injuries, ha dstaggered to get
help and had fallen into the river.
Then, when dynamiting failed
to bring his body to the surface of
the river, they worked on other
theories-that Baker was never
drowned.
Yesterday, searching parties
poled the river in rowboats, dodg-
