ROOSEVELT TO GET
P. P.W.A.FUND PLEA
House Bloc Irked by Report
w. p. A. Would Get Bulk
of $500, 900, 600.
BY the Associated Press.

6y tue As6oclateo fTeSb.
An upsurging bloc Of House mem
bers determined today to carry direct
to the White House fight to save
Secretary Ickes' p. w. A. from oblivion
In next years relief program.
Irked by word that Harry L. Hop
kins' w. P. A. was to get the bulk Of
proposed sl,500,0 100000 appropria-
ton for next year, and that Ickes
would have none, the insurgents an
nounced they had more than 200
signatures of House members on q
petition in behalf of. p. w. A.
Roosevelt to Get Petition.
BY the weekend they hope to have
more than 800 names, or about three
fourths Of the House, on the docu-
ment, which seeks to earmark $780,
900, 900 of the fund for Ickes. Repre-
sentative Better, Democrat, of New
York said the petition would be car
ried direct to President Roosevelt be-
fore Sunday.
This, 1t was believed, might bring
a showdown on the Ickes and Hop
kins PHILOSOPHERS of relief. Ickes
favors the heavier and more perma-
nent Public Works Administration
construction, while Hopkins has been
pushing the more purely relief projects
involved in Works Progress Admins
tration.
The Better bloc is up in arms be-
cause. its members say, plans had
been made in their home areas for ex-
tensive P. w. A. construction, only to
have the Federal Government with
hold the expected funds. Better
argued that the P. w. A. projects, in
volving large outlays for purchase of
materials, would relieve unemploy.
ment in the heavy industries"
Roosevelt Action Doubtful.
Whether President Roosevelt would
act on the bloc's plea was generally
considered doubtful, in view of his
remarks recently on comparative costs
Of w. P. A. and P. w. A. projects.
Referring to Secretary Ickes' state
ment that expenditure of P. w. A.
funds amounted to only S74l a year
per man employe, the President said
this had been misinterpreted He
emphasized that Federal allotments
were only 80 per cent of the total
cost Of such projects. Cities and
States bear part Of the cost, as well
as the Federal Government.
Because of the higher expenses for
materials and condemnation of prop
erty, he said, P. w. A. projects nec-
essarily cost about twice as much as
Works Progress undertakings.
Ickes Disclaims Connection.
Ickes has disclaimed any connec-
ton with the Better movement in the
House, declaring he has not confer
red with legislators on the subject.
1t is generally understood, however.
that he would welcome more money
for P. w. A. If the White House
should so decide.
The movement recalled q similar

ton sought to make sharp reduc-
ton in the number of Civilian Con-
servation Corps camps Legislators.

NEW OUST|NGS DUE

Half Dozen in Washington
State Are Accused of
Fund Solicitation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A holt dozen more officials Of w. p.
A. in Washington State were slated
today for dismissal by Harry L. Hop
kins on charges that political skull
duggery" mingled with relief In the
State.
Declaring he would not stand for
political activity" in relief, Hopkins
yesterday announced the removal of
George H. Cannon, Washington ad-
ministrator. Hopkins said unnamed
persons had collected $4,000 to $4,000
in camapign contributions from the
w. P. A. staff and that he held Gan
non responsible because he was run
ming the show"
Cannon. described by Hopkins as
a Democrat, said in Seattle: 81 don't
know entirely what it is all about"
George E. Starr, Democratic State
chairman, said he knew nothing about
the alleged solicitation of funds, while
Republican State Chairman Jay N.
Emerson expressed the belief Cannon
had nothing to do with such solicita-
ton.
Cannon. former State Senator and
banker, recently rendered his resig-
nation as State administrator, but it
was not due to become effective until
June /.
Declaring he did not know Just
what the money was collected for in
1t had been returned to the con-
tributors. He sent R. c. Jacobsen,
San Francisco w. P. A. official, to
Seattle to take charge, with instruc-
tionS to fire five or six" persons
accused of political activity.
The Hopkins announcement came
about the time that Representative
Clifford, Republican, of Massachusetts,,
in a House speech, was declaring that
w. P. A. was vast and powerful
political machine" A previous state
ment by Senator Vandenberg, Re-
publican, of Michigan. that it would
be better to return the administration
OF relief to the States was disputed by
Hopkins yesterday. Such a move, he
said, would mean increased political
influences"
Turning today to the problem of
unemployment, Hopkins issued state
ment expressing hope that a w. P. A.
research project, now being conducted
in Philadelphia, will find the answer
to chronological unemployment.
Machine Argument Discounted.
II am not impressed" Hopkins said,
"by arguments that labor-saving ma
chinery is sort of FrankenStein to
which all our unemployment ills may
be attributed There are a number
of other factors in the picture as we'll,
and to say that inventiveness should
be checked or penalized would be to
stay the march of progress.
1T is undeniable, however, that
mechaniZation has brought about a
vast change in our whole social and
economic condition in the last quarter
OF a century.
II think it is essential that we
discover to what extent this change
has affected us and how We may best
adapt our mode of living to it,"

with the standards of the program,
may receive either or both of two
classes of financial grants. Class
/ payments will be made, within
limit, for diverting land from such
soil-depleting crops as corn, small
grains, and potatoes, to such soil
conserving crops as alfalfa, clover,
and long-lived grasses. These pay
ments will vary according to the
productivity Of each farm, but will
average about $40 an acre for the
entire country. Since most dairy
farms are kept in high state Of
fertility, the rate of Class II pay
rnent for such farms will probably
be equal, or even little higher
than the average for all farms.
Class II payments are offered at
different rates for new seedlings Of
certain crops and for the adoption
of certain approved practices. The
rate for applying at least two tons
Of limestone on crop land or per-
manent pasture, for example, Is
$3.50 an acre. Although the amount
of Glass III payment any farmer
may receive is limited by the nnm-
Der of acres on his farm devoted
to soil-conserving crops in 1896,
most dairymen maintain a relative
ly large proportion of their land in
alfalfa and other soil-conserving
crops, and hence will have an OPP
portunity to earn relatively large
Class II payments.
Although some dairymen believe
that the larger acreage of grass
made possible by the program will
increase the volume of dairy pro-
ducts and reduce dairy prices, Mr..
Miller points out that it takes more
grass" acres than grain" acres to
produce a given quantity of dairy
products. If the program works as
intended, moreover, it will tend to
hold up the prices of wheat, corn
and hogs and keep producers of
these commodities from going into
dairying.

Observations From

A Great Man Passes

(By Congressman Harold knutSon)
A Great Man Passes
The death of Speaker Burns is
deeply lamented by his colleagues
in Congress. He was easily the
best beloved man in either house
of Congress, kindly, considerate,
patient and able. Speaker Byrns is
going to be missed by the Presi-
dent as well as by his colleagues.
He was a persuasive orator and
was noted for his ability to COM
pose differences within his own
camp. Mr.. Byrns was real Jeffer-
sonian Democrat.
There is no doubt in my mind
but that his death was due to ov-
erwork. He was an interchangeable
worker and fifteen hours day was
nothing unsual for him.
I have served under five speak
ers and I hope that I will be par
doned when I say that Mr.. Byrus
was my favorite. He was very fair
and oftimes actually leaned back
ward in order to protect the rights
of the minority. Never once did ne
resort to the steam roller. doubt
that we shall see his like in the
Speakers chair for long time.

hearing 1t was testified that It has
cost the federal government ap-
proximately $3,7470O0 to collect
these taxes and it is estimated
that 1t will cost fully that much to
administer the settlement of the
claims. OF course, I realize that
this Is mere chicken feed in these
days when we talk in terms Of bill
lions.
Now I Can Understand Why
For a long time have been un-
able to understand the mental
workings Of those individuals who
have acted for this government in
the negotiations of the several
trade agreements, but last Friday
the man in charge appeared be-
fore the Ways and Means Commit
tee to protest against favorable ac-
ton on a pending bill to restrict
iE,portations. Among other things
he expressed fear that the passage
of the bill in question might bring
on unpleasant relations with the
foreign countries affected, princi-
pally Latin-American countries. He
read several editorials from Latin
American newspapers, none Of
which were complimentary to the
Americans.
AS a matter of fact we have an
unfavorable trade balance with La
tin America in excess Of 125 mil
lion dollars. In other words We
buy that much more from them
than they buy from US, and the
same situation holds true with
nearly all the other countries with
which we have negotiated ag:ue-
ments. In short, we are giving the
American market away and get
ting little in return. AS I listened
to this extremely polite American
born advocate of free trade I shud-
dered to think what will happen to
us when he negotiates the trade
agreement with Great Britain, for
instance. The Englishman is about
the shrewdest trader in the world
and If he doesn't stand us on our
head and empty our pockets when
we sit down to swap horses with
him will be greatly surprised.
All relations with foreign coun-
tries are more or less commercial
and 1t would seem to me that we
could very profitably abolish the
state department and turn it's
functions over to the Department
of Commerce, placing the strictly
diplomatic in a division or bureau
of that department. How the for
eigner must chuckle each time he
sits down to trade with the easy
going and philanthropic American.
Shelter Belt Abandoned
Many of my readers will recall
that when the administration an
nounced it's plan to plant a shelter
belt of trees from Canada to the
Gulf of Mexico, at a cost of 100
million dollars, I stated very def
initely that the plan was imprac-
teal and visionary. AS a matter of
fact I voted against the appropria-
ton. At that time the project was
widely acclaimed as the salvation
of millions of acres of farm lands
After having spent three million
dollars the administration, last
Wednesday, announced that the
plan would be scrapped as the
young trees died for the lack of
moisture as fast as they could be
planted. What will future genera
tions think when they study the
