A New Deal Theory

But actually, monopoly is a theory
about society. This theory is inherent
in the New Deal. The whole body OF
theories underlying the New Deal con-
ception OF society includes strangely
assorted and contradictory principles
But monopoly, the idea that those en-
gagged in any occupation shall be pro
tected from competition, is at the heart
of the principal New Deal innovations
AS these innovations become familiar.
50 does the spirit Of monopoly become
acceptable to many.
IAN odd and rather startling illustra-
ton comes from a small Iowa city, Al
gona, in Kossuth county. In Algona,

OMAHA, = Ska. - AT least one
cooperative sale can hardly build
fast enoug ghen the Nebraska
Farmers State Exchange plan
ned its n. 10000 headquarters the
plans SCI ambitious. But already
the growing coop business has out
stripped the plant finished early this
year.
The Nebraska cooperative was or
gained as a department Of the Farm
ers' Union in 1914. In 1919 it was re-
organized as an Independent coopera-
tive association. Today it serves 265
cooperative stores, oil associations, ele-
|%vators. creameries, and cream stations
as well as lis locals Of the Farmers
Union in the state through which mem
bers purchase goods comparatively on
a buying club plan.
The wholesale business of the coop
erative totaled $1,356,796 in 1884. In
addition, the State Exchange operates
Is retail cooperative stores in Nebra-
ska whose sales volume last year was
more than three-quarters Of a million
dollars. The coop furnishes gasoline,
oil, farm supplies, clothing, groceries,
and general merchandise on a non
profit basis. The new headquarters
was constructed entirely with money
provided by Farmers Union members
without benefit of bankers A large
part OF the capital came from saving
already made from cooperative purch-

THE WHITE HOUSE

December ~, 1893
Ny dear Mr.. Monaghan:
l have your telegram Of December
twelfth regarding the relief situation
in the State Of Montana.
l understand that representatives OF
the Federal Emergency Relief Admin
istration and the Works Progress Ad-
ministration have recently been in
Montana, an dthat the situation in re-
spect to the delay in payment Of work
ers on the Works Program has been
adjusted.
In regard to the relief situation,
am advised that 100000 in state funds,
together with a balance OF $4,000 in
Federal funds previously allocated TO
the state, are Immediately available for
the relief Of such persons as are not
provided for through the Works Pro-
gram, in addition to $4,000 from both
state and Federal sources which was
allocated to the counties within the
lpast week. In addition, it is antici-
pated that $4,000 in new state rev
enues will be available for relief pur-
poses during the remainder Of this
month.
Since the Works Program is now in
full operation, no further Federal al
locations for relief purposes will be
made to any state. 1t would appear,
however, that Montana should be en-
tirely able to provide adequately for
any need not met through the Federal
Works Program.
Very sincerely yours,
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.

Monopoly To Be Issue


THE %utterances that have come from
Senator Borah about the approaching
presidential campaign and his relation
TO it have been so numerous and frag-
mentary as to leave a cryptic impress
sion. Throughout, however, Mr.. Bor-
ah has held to one clear line. He
thinks monopoly will be the principal
issue. On this theme he has dwelt re-
peatedly. He required to it again last
week:
"'Both parties are going to advocate
elimination Of monopolies.'
ut may be this will happen. If SO
and if the debate is through, it will
reveal the striking degree to which the
American mind has come to tolerate
the idea Of monopoly. Senator Borah
may be thinking Of monopoly merely
in the sense OF combination in great
industries. He may think OF the fight
he e~nvisages as a recurrence of the OPP
position to big business that has been a
recurrent issue ever since Senator Bor-
ah began to vote.

First Vice President of BARRIERS
Union Tells Washington Col
umnist Some Things That May
Add to the Latter's knowledge.
The Question is Whether a NUM-
cipality Has the Right to Es-

All who know First General Vice
President T. c. MacDuffee, OF the A.
NJ. B. A., are fully aware that he is
something Of a "fi~re-eater,' He speaks
his mind = and he knows his mind tt
he never pussy-foots, and when he is
right he fears neither God, nan nor
the devil.
In a recent issue Of the Des Moines
Register appeared an article by Mark
Sullivan, well-known Washington poll
teal commentator. Included in his re-
marks was an attack on the spirit OF
a minimum-price ordinance for barber
services recently passed in Algona, To-
wa, based on powers granted city coun-
ellis in Iowa by the last session of the
Iowa legislature.
Mr. Sullivan's attitude arouse the ire
OF Mn. MacDuifee, and he sent a reply
TO the Register, which that newspaper
printed in full on its editorial page.
Believeing that Mr.. Sullivan's article
and Mr.. MacDuffee's reply will be OF
much interest to our readers, we reprint
them both here. In opening the con-
troversy, Mr.. Sullivan wrote

Raymond William Dolan.
) All three kidnapers were in
dicted by a Federal grand jury at
Huntington, w. Va, and charged
with conspiracy to kidnap and
kidnapping George N. Davis and
Robert K. Robinson, Of Lewisburg,

The overcoat button, keys and
empty cartridge shells were also
turned over to Mr.. Donaldson for
examination.
The bullet imbedded in the
planking was carefully removed In
a square Of wood and turned over
to the ballistic expert for possible
peculiaritieS Of the semi-automatic
revolver used in the killing.
Over two weeks had passed since
Bush was shot and police were still
cropping in the dark.
"A Break"
Then they found an important
clue. The fingerprints taken Of
one OF the Gray Line bus drivers
showed the man had q criminal
record. Following his release from
the workhouse a year before, the
man, Frank Mahoney. had been
given a job by Mr.. Bush. who knew
Of his record and who agreed to
give him another chance.
Mahoney worked for the bus
company several days after the
shooting and subsequent death
of Bush-then he disappeared
from the city.
Mahoney'S picture and his rec
ord were printed on the front page
Of The washington Times. Short
ly thereafter a man called police.
He said he had lent Mahoney
SIS on q .32-caliber Semi-automatic
revolver three years before and
that it had been in his possession
until three days before the shoot
ing when Mahoney had retrieved
it. The man said he thought moth
ing Of it until he read about the
murder in The Times and saw
Mahoney's picture.
But Mahoney had already fled
the city. However, police learned
the ex-convict had taken q bus to
the Pacific Coast and that the bus
was due to stop over in Pitts
burgh.
They learned also that a
buddy" of Maloney's had dis
appeared at the same time he did.
This buddy, also an ex-convict,
was william Joseph Carnell, a
well-known police character.
Detectives calling on Carnell's
mother, Mrs. Sarah Sullivan, at
her home in the 800 block Fifth
st. N. W., were told that her son
had killed Louis Bush!
She said that on the night Bush
was slain, Carnell walked into her
home bleeding profuSely from q
head wound, his clothing satu-
rated with blood-another mans
blood. He was greatly agitated,
she said, and told her:
"Maw, I just shot Mr.. Bush.
I didn't mean to do it. We were
struggling for the gun and it
went Off"
Mrs. Sullivan said she helped
Carnell wash the blood from his
face and hands and bandaged his
wound. He told her he was going
to his rooming house to change
his clothes. He still had the gun
with which he had shot Bush, and
suddenly he turned on her. He
said she knew too much" and
that he was going to kill her, too.
Mrs. Sullivan said she finally
talked him out Of it by promising
to remain silent. Then Carnell de-
parted, she said, adding that he
left town the next morning.
In Carnell'S room police found
the stained, discarded clothing.
The overcoat and revolve- were
missing.
Carnell, a metal worker, was a
wiry man about feet 8 inches
tall, and about 81 years old.
When Mahoney stepped off the
bus in Pittsburgh he was promptly
arrested but in the excitement
that followed Carnell escaped.

 Well 2,l0O Feet Deep
 Reports had come from the oil camp that drilling would cease for the winter the middle of Novem- Der, but MT. Havenstrite said it was the plan of the company to drill as long as weather permitted, all winter if possible. It will not be necessary to shut down until at least December l, if at all, MT. Havenstrite believed.
 Drilling is now down about 2,100 feet. A hard shale from about the 50o-foot level has made drilling much slower than was expected, MT. Havenstrite said.
 While the supply of fuel oil was first believed sufficient to drill to a depth of 7,5Oo feet, it is now believed the present fuel stock will last only about 4,500 feet.
 The shale now being encountered is an oil generating type, MT Hay- enstrite said. He said they really did not want to strike oil before about 5000 feet or $500 feet be- cause wells at that depth have
