ISSUES OPINION
CITING ELECTION
ATTORNEY GENERAL REFERS
TO MATTER OF REG.
ISTRATIONS

TALLAHASSEE. April 2S.--
Attorney General Cary D. Lands
this week issued two opinions re-
lative to the Forthcoming Demo
cratic primary elections.
In the first, issued for Sheriff
F. l.. Anderson of Dixie county.
the attorney general held that
under the lazy. a person is re-
CURED to register to vote in the
precinct in the county of his
permanent residence.
A naturalizcd citizen, Attorney
General Lands held further, is
required to prodIce to the regis
tration officer his certificate Of
naturalization or duly certified
copy thereof, and to make oath
that he is the Identical person
named in such certificate before
he shall be allowed to register.
"A person who does not have a
permanent place of residence.
that is, precinct in some county
of this state wherein he has es-
tablished a voting residence" the
attorney general ruled, should
not be allowed to qualify to
vote"
The second opinion was given
to Circuit Judge Miles Lewis, of
Duval county. in regard to pay
ment of qualification fees for can
didates where the office is to be
voted on entirely within one
county.
eff yours is an office to be
voted for wholly within Duval
county, it seems to me that you
should qualify with the clerk OF
the court" the attorney genera
held.

more; merchandising. 81 per cent
more.
Moderate betterment occurred
in the service industries. Eleven
telephone and telegraph companies
surveys showed Improvement o.
24.8 per cent, and 90 gas and
electric companies, OF per cent.
Railroads still showed deficit
for the year of $288,00O, but this
marked a good loss reduction from
1884, when the deficit of the
Class I lines was more than $29.-
100000.
Average earnings improvement
for all 1,438 corporations was 40
per cent.
So much for the bare statistics.
They don't tell the whole story
by a long shot, according to most
industrial executives. 1t is OBJ
vious that an industry might earn
500 or 5000 per cent more and
yet not have satisfactory earn
ings statement to present to its
stockholders, if the increases were
based on a comparison with year
in which earnings were practically
non-existent, as was the case with
many industries in 1884. To take
an extreme theoretical example. a
billion-dollar industry might earn
81 one year, improve its earnings
by 5000 per cent the next for a
total of $4,000, and yet to all
practical purposes be no better
off.
Bane of most executives. and
"theme song of at least four out
of five reports" according to
Business Week. is the old and
growing DOGGY. taxation. Some
corporation heads are urging their
stockholders to demand lower
taxes, many point out that their
taxes are increasing much more
rapidly, on a comparative basis,
than their output or earnings
Many corporations are likewise
wary of present legislative trends,
seem to be afraid of more labor
trouble, and more laws they con-
slider dangerous and unsound. The
average public utility. for in
stance. is in this boat-the fact
that its earnings rose less than
ten per cent while its output
reached all-time record proper

By SIGRID ARNE
(lty Associated s're~sl

WASHINGTON, April %
Senator Frederick Steiwer of
oregon is to enjoy a unique in
PRODUCTION to the drama of ma.
tional political conventions. He,
will be 'keynoter" for the Re-
Publicans when they meet a.
Cleveland in June TO nominate !.
presidential candidate.
Senator Steiwer will stand on a
platform facing photographers
flashlights, grinding movie,
cameras and some 10000 people.
He will be the center of fIatter-
ing silence, bursts of cIapping and
frenzied cheering.
He never has been to con-
Ventien; not even as a spectator.
He has been too busy out in
the northwestern corner of the
nation to do more OF his party's
chores than those that came easily
to his hand. He has managed a
large wheat farm, handled flocks
of sheep, studied both agriculture
and law, gone to the war, served
as district attorney, and in 1926
was elected to the senate. He
was reelected in 1882 on the Re-
publican ticket despite the gen
eral landslide for the Democrats.
Carries Attack In Senate
In the last two years spectators
in the senate gallery have learned
that a spell-binding speech from
the Democratic side of the floor
usually meant biting retOrt from
either Steiwer or Senator Arthur
Vandenberg, of Michigan, on the
Republican side.
Steiwer does his fighting over
issues. He ignores attacks on
persons, and he seems too intent
and intense to indulge in persi-
flage.
But before he engages in the
fights on the senate floor he
spends hours in his office or at
his home study porting over gov
eminent reports.
For instance, right now he has
three filing cabinets full of ma
terial he has gathered on federal
relief administration.
Speaks At Rallies
,Steiwer's mop of wavy gray
hair. his six-feet-two, his huge
shoulders. are becoming familiar
in Republican circles. In recent
months he has addressed Republi-
can state conventions in North
Carolina and Maine. He has led
the program at party rallies in
Pennsylvania. New York and
Rhode Island.
Following each saunter into
the hinterland he returns to the
capital followed by rumors that
he, and not Senator Vandenberg
is the clark horse" TO watch at
the Cleveland convention
His attacks on the "new deal
have touched almost every part OF
the administration program. He
doesn't deny the need for relic!
measures. but he has criticized
bitterly the manner in which fed,
eral relief has been handled. He
has gone along with appropria-
tions for federal housing meas
ures, and entered energetically in.
to the senate's investigation Of
the stock market.
He doesn't assail farm relief a:
a governmental responsibility, bu+
he demands that an adequate
permanent and constitutions
measure be written"

WASHINGTON, April 28.-A
nova, Or new star, such as the
/! latest one discovered by the Car
necie Institution of Washington
NAV be creation at work.
In making public their DIS
covery OF the super nova in the
constellation of Virgo. tentatively
designated as Nova Virgins, the
Carnegie astronomers at Mt. Will
son, Cal, permitted themselves o
little theor:zing. to explain the oc-
culrence OF such star explosions.
Novae, they explained. are stars
which for come unknown reason
explode violently and flame up to
MANY times their original bright
ness before return ;ng to obscurlty.
Nova Virgins. which expanded
with a velocity of 300 miles per
second, reached its maximum
brightness, the 14th magnitude, on
February 16 and then faded ra-
Pidly.
A Movement OF Energy
DR.. Gustaf Stronberg of the
Mount Wilson observatory de-
clared that Nothing very de-
finite is known about the cause OF
a nova outburst. 1t IS obvious that
the rate at which energy is re-
leased is terrific. and since energy
cannot be created from nothing 1t
must have existed in the system IN
some form or another before the
catastrophe occurred" he added.
One possible explanation is that
"the rate at which heat is general
ed in the interior of star is Tor
some reason or other increased
and =" lid is blown Off" DR.. Strom-
berg declared.
eve do not know what de-
termines this rate. The heat musI
certainly come from sub-atomic
processes. and these are as yet
only incompletely understood"
Matter elected during a nova
outburst may account for the ex-
istence of planets and satellites,
such as the earth. Mars and Jupl-
ter. he added. "If this is true, a
nova outburst is signal that con-
struction work on new abodes for
organic life has been started.
Natures Sledge Hammer
"The reverberations from the
first blows Of the sledge hammer
are felt throughout the universe
and when they reach our little
insignificant planet we see nova
sparkling in the sky"
Another explanation, he added,
is that the explosions are caused
by two stars colliding or coming
into such close proximity as to re-
suit in a violent disturbance.
Nova Virgins is the sixth of its
kind to be found in the long his
tory of astronomy, observers clas-
styling the outbursts according to
their brilliance. At their maximum
brightness these super novae are
100 times brighter than ordinary
stars and shine with a radiance
equal to 6O.OOO,O00 sun such as
the one which makes life possible
on earth.
Nova Virgins is located about
100000 light years out in space,
a light year being the distance
which a beam of light can travel
in year while moving at the rate
of 1S6.270 miles per second. 1t
is % seconds north of the nue.
leus of the nebula of Virgo. This
| constellation. which contains the
white first magnitude star Spica,
/ is located on the celestial equator
due south of the handle of the
Dipper.

The program was again excellently
balanced and gave a comprehensive
idea Of the progress in thought of the

most Illuminating studies that music
lover can make Is the musical and
mental development Of Wagner as re-
fiected In his works.
THE different periods of his life and
the influences paramount at the
time were consciously or unconsciously
the inspiration of his musical output
OF the moment. Always dominated
by his ever-fertile genius and his ex-
traordinary mentality, his music is
nevertheless the record of his emo
tional life, which eliminated in the
noble yet more austere "Gotterdam-
merung." the final work Of the great
series.
Last evening. two soloists gave
meaning to the scenes chosen. Elsa

the finale, of "Gotterdamerung," and
Paul Althouse "Lohengrin's Farewell" /"

it was. the voice of Miss Alsen was

happy in his rendition of "Lohengrins
