THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
By CONG. JOHN PAUL KvALE

Taxation and the deficiency-relief
bills, while still the bugaboos that
stand in adjournment's way, have
given way during the week, as far
as the House is considered, to other
news And there is some evidence
of the fact that the admonitions in
cluded in the News editorial that was
reproduced in these columns last
week have been needed at least in
part.
While the Senate committees were
graphing with the bills noted above
and they have perhaps been dis
cussed in too great detail in these
letters to suit the casual student of
public affairs-that body found time
ity exchanges by amending the grain
futures act The writer will be par
doned for referring to the fact that
this comes near to concluding fight
that was begun back in 1925 by the
late Rep. o. ]. Kvale, with the aid
of the then Rep. Knud Wefald.
These men sought to enforce the
provisions OF the grain futures act,
holding that the law as written gave
the head of the administrative office
the necessary power to do what was
needed, and that if not, Congress
stood ready to give the necessary
amendments. The fight has gone on
until the New Deal made this con-
troll of commodity exchanges a COM
panion bill to its control over the
stock and bond gamblers on the Sc
curity exchanges and the divorce
ment of the genuine banking houses
from their subsidiary speculative and
investing establishments. 1t was
feared for some time that it would be
short into the discard in the adjourn
ment rush; now it seems that it has
a good chance of being made law be-
fore this Congress calls it day.

The doctor had openly invited the
action, and his subordinates had used
such insulting and undignified Ian
guage that the overwhelming action
OF the House could not have been
avoided unless it forever gave up its
dignity and it's power to summon wit
nesses and exercise its duties in the
capacity of a body to hold inquiries
as demanded. Consequently the re-
calcitrant witnesses will be brought
before local courts in the near flu
ture, to state their case and to show
why they should not be fined or i'm
prisoned for contempt of Congress.

AS it now appears. the prospective
law, If enacted, will also control the
future sales and manipulations in
the butter and egg markets. Dairy
friends insisted that butter must re-
main in the bill, in view of the in
fluence of the future sales on the
prices of milk and cheese as we'll
as of the dairy by-products. Per-
haps its chief effect, however, will
be to control the situation that has
existed for years in the cotton mar
ket, where few big concerns have
been able to rib the market to their
own satisfaction to the detriment of
the producer and the poor tenants
that have been holding the crop for
advantageous prices.
The tax bill energies in much
amended form. 1t largely abandons
the House idea of taxing SURPRISES
of corporations which have been held
in their treasures without dividing
among stockholders. Certain sena-
tors, notably Byrd of Virginia. were
able to establish the contention that
it would not only be penalty on
the successful corporate groups that
were trying to save up for rainy
day, but that at the same time the
provisions of the House bill, as drawn,
would allow many of the biggest cor
porations and monopolies to escape
taxation, since the present tax sched-
ules were either proposed to be re-
vised or repealed.
So the Senate committee has really
rewritten the bill. 1t will be con-
sidered this week. 1t grades up ex-
listing corporate taxes, and also levies
an increase in the surtax rates on
individual incomes. Both changes are
in line with the oft-repeated desires
of Senator LaFollette and other pro-
gressive Senators, and apparently the
Senate stands ready to accept the
committee recommendations substan-
TALLY in that form.
The trouble will come when the
bill is returned to the House and
is requested in an effort

eight hours of training to at least
$500 volunteer firemen this year in
addition to the State School at which
an attendance of 500 is expected for
a 5-day course in modern firemanship.
These schools are jointly sponsored
by the State Fire Marshal Depart

the instructors and arranges the pro-

Schools this year have been held
at Roseau, International Falls, Sank

The threat of Fascist dictatorship
plotting in Minnesota was revealed last
week with the disclosure in st. Paul
that the terroristic Black Legion, for
which some of it's leaders claim a
membership of six million through
out the country, is soliciting member
ships in this state.
Widespread activities of the organ
izatiOn were brought to light with the
cOld-blooded murder of a young De-
troit WPA worker. A member of the
Black Legion has confessed that he

of the victim as he knelt before a

Two House actions should not be
overlooked, however. 1t passed the
Patman-Robinson bill to help retail
merchants and producers at the same
time that it gives consumers lowest
possible prices. In so doing, it added
wholesome amendments that will be
discussed in later letters if conferees
permit them to remain part of the
measure. And it officially noted the
defiance and the challenge of DR..
Townsend and his associates in
breaking up the House inquiry into
the operations of that organization.

The relief-deficiency bill faces lit
tie difficulty, except for the squabble
over which agency is to have charge
of disbursement of funds. 1t now
seems that the President himself is
to be given direct charge of allot-
ments, allowances and expenditures
with Hopkins his chief agent, but
with Secretary Ickes of Public Works
promised sufficient monies to go for
ward with some of his most cher
ished projects of more permanent
nature.
Too, work in vocational education
and in rural rehabilitation seems to
have been given promise of contin-
uance in the last-minute Congress
sional whirl. All of these matters
still depend on disposition by con-

about accepting the recommendations
of their conference committees. The
House has disposed of several of them
during the week, but many are still
in progress, as is natural at this
stage of the session.

leaders have some jealousy as to their

"A LTHOUGH he never maintained a
private dental practice, for 10
years Sutherland was on the faculty
Of the College of Dentistry at Pitt. He
gave that up two years ago for lack of
time.
Sutherland gives most of his time to
foot ball.
Il think it is good game for any
boy" he says. Il like to have as many
players as we can get. In the Spring
we usually have more than $50. II
does boy good just to run around
the field and associate with his schools
representatives even If he never gets
in game.
"And I think a foot ball player is
one of the best representatives that a
school can have"
Next year, his team probably will be
more powerful than the 1886 Rose Bowl
outfit. Most of his aces will be back
including the irresistible sophomore
ball-carrier, Marshall Goldberg, and
the greater part OF the impregnable
line that turned back all opponents
except Duquesne and got q tie with
Fordham's granite wall"
DR.. Sutherland met criticism from
the West and South over selection OF
Pitt to play against Washington with
his usual answer-silence.
But Don Harrison. director Of ath-
letics, probably spoke the veterans
mind when he said:
The Pitt team will give the an
swer to that on New Year day."

FOOT BALL IS FUN

Panther Coach Makes Toll
as Light as Possible
for Players.
BY JUDsON BAILEY.

NITTSBURGH R.-Foot ball Is
- a business OF fun for the tall
dignified bachelor who directs
= the game for the mighty Pitts
burgh Panthers.
On the campus. and almost every
where, he Is known as something Of q
legendary figure-gloomy, silent and
severe.
But DR.. John Balm (Jock) suther-
land has q warm spot In his heart for
the boys who play the game to which
he is devoted.
Speaking Of his 1896 team. named
to oppose Washington in the Rose
Bowl classic at Pasadena on New Year
day, the silent Scot says:
we try to make foot ball fun. We
practice less than any big team know
of. We scrimmage less-seldom after
midseason. We try never to give the
boys too much work and always quit
practice sessions while they still want
more. But we try to. win our games. {"
The Pitt mentor Is firm believer in
discipline, but his players to a man
claim he Is not harsh nor driver.
And this from Jock:
T believe q certain amount Of dis
cipline is necessary, but I'd be glad to
have the boys talk about that subject
We all get along together. We have a
fine spirit on the team and that means
q great deal. However, I'd rather have
discipline and win than be a good fell
low and lose"
This is Dr. Sutherland's fourth trip

Pitt was beaten in all three previous
appearances. He never played game

Scot.

the Indians coming from behind to

respectively.
Sutherland never talks about his
record. He neither brags, nor alibis.
in victory or defeat
On occasions the utter silence of the
Scot has aroused the ire of the op-
position and brought accusations to
the effect Sutherland is a machine
with no ideals and no passion for
the game "for sports sake"
Sutherland was born in Scotland.
Big and brawny. he became a great
guard at Pitt under Warner and his
assistant, Joe Duff. In four years
at college, Sutherland played only one
losing game. He graduated with
degree OF doctor of dental surgery,
served overseas during the World War
and began his coaching career at La
fayette College. After five years
there. he succeeded Warner at Pitt.
The Pitt campus regards him as an
institution. His contract is for an
indefinite period, and provides either
party must give several years notice
to end it.
