Politics In St. Thomas

The choice of members for each dis
trict is not 80 common place as the un-
thinking individual imagines. Men who
should figure in the choice, we venture
to say, will find no serious objection in
public opinion so long as they are known
to possess the real intelligence desired.
Men with commercial experiences, men
with some knowledge of finance and
budget balancing. Men possessed of
general knowledge of commerce and fin
ance in both political and economical
fields. Men as truly representatives of
the common wealth more especially the
laborng classes. Men more or less &C
quainted with the science Of govern
ment as applied TO the psychology of a
people and their behavior.
Not men who consider themselves.

or race to which they belong. Not men

and even to the present still is one of

very much convinced of the evil in

Random Notes

The question has been raised as to wheth
er persons on monthly salary in the Public
Works Department are entitled to the
half holiday on Thursday. Agricultural
workers and dock hands do not come un
der the law. The reason is obvious More
over, if day-pay workers do not work on
Thursday afternoon they lose half days
pay.
The men on monthly payroll argue that
since the office hands who are also on the
same pay roll enjoy the benefit of the half
holiday there should not be any discrimi
nation.
The rain continues to fall beautifully,
and the benefit will be felt in next years
crop. Sugar cane cultivation in this is
land has increased rapidly during the past
years. The Virgin Islands Company has
planted extensively and, with the acquisI
ton of the Bartram Brothers estates over
a thousand acres will again be put in sug
ar cane. Homesteaders and owners of
small parcels are developing their plots,
all contributing their parts to bring back
prosperity to the island.
Things are getting warm politically in
St. Thomas. 1t seems that the campaign
for the November elections has started and
s'The Emancipator" has put its big gun in
action. The "Daily News" Is also discuss
ing the situation and the changing condi
ton under the new organic act, but in a
general way.
We publish in this edition an excerpt
from an Editorial in ''The Emancipator."
We understand that supervising nurse
is to be added to the hospital staff In St.
Croix and that the one to be selected as
supervising nurse had previous experience
in hospital work in this island.

Hopkins figures, announced ap.

All other governmental agen-

COURT BLOCKS
COUNTY MILK
PR|CET TILT

FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE. Va,
March 31.-Increased milk prices
to approximately 1900 consumers
in Arlington and Fairfax counties
were halted today by an injunc-
ton which temporarily prohibits
the Virginia Milk Commission from
putting into effect its ruling that
beginning at midnight all milk
sold in this area be retailed at
Is cents per quart.
Opposition to the ruling on the
grounds that 1t was illegal and
Impractical was inaugurated by
Hazel,S Dairy Of Falls Church,
which serves approximately $500
families at II cents per quart.
Validity Contested
simultaneously with securing the
Injunction, the Hazel's Dairy en-.
tered a petition in the circuit
court here today to have the rul-
ing Of the State commission de-
clared invalid.
Contending that it could not
continue to operate if compelled
to sell at controlled prices, the
dairy'S petition stated that such
action as proposed by the commits
Eion would force the producers of
milk to sell to Washington dairies,
who would eventually get all the
Virginia retail business by under
selling the Virginia dairieS, and
would then be free to pass the re-
duced prces back to the producers,
who by that time would have no
nearby market for their milk other
than the Washington dairies.
This disastrous result to the
producers and independent deal
er'S business in Virginia would be
brought about, according to the
petition, through the commission
lack of power to control prices of
the Washington dairies. An at
Tempt to control the retail prices
Df the Washington dairies' retail
business in Virginia, the petition
further states, would involve inter
State business which is beyond the
control of the State commission.
Support for Contention
Supporting this contention, the
petitioners stated that some of the
milk now being brought into Vir-
Einit by Washington distributors
Is being retailed at prices of 10,
II, IL and 13 cents, and that such
prices could continue, regardless
Df the commissions rulings.
Thomas L. Hazel and Richard
3. Hazel, operators of Hazers
Dairy, filed the petition in Judge
Walter T. McCarthy'S court here
today and named the State Milk
Commission as defendant. The
commission consists Of j. s. Agnew,
chairman; Kone Brough and T. r.
Enavely.
The temporary injunction issued
here today will prohibit until May
l8 any action by the State Milk
Commission until the court has
had sufficient time to rule on the
validity Of thine act.
HazePS Dairy, according to the
petition, retails approximately 900
gallons of milk daily, and 500 gal
Ions of this is distributed to some
1900 families in Arlington county.
