Painful Piles

UP to the present time, however, 1t
has been kept rather quiet. While
the Landon sentiment is strong among
some of the New York delegates, the
leaders have not yet come to an agree
ment to support the Kansas Governor.
Record Above Reproach.
In support of the idea that Landon
is a sure winner in the race, it is
urged that his senatorial opponents
have legislative records that make
them unavailable These Senators,
it is pointed out, have voted for
many of the New Deal measures. AS
matter Of fact, Vandenberg is less
vulnerable than any of the others in
this respect. Landon is not so handi-
capped. Nor is Col. Knox, for that
matter. If the Republican nominee
is TO be in a position to aSSail the
New Deal. he must not have record
of voting for some of the New Deal
measures, it is urged.
PENNSYLVANIA on Tuesday holds its
primary election. with Borah the sole
entry in the Republican presidential
preference primary, and President
Roosevelt opposed by Col. Henry
Breckenridge in the Democratic pri-
mary. Mr., Roosevelt is expected to
roll up a big vote. The size Of the
Breckenridge, anti-Roosevelt, vote
will be observed with interest.
On the Republican side OF the
fence. many of the Republicans prob
ably will fail to vote for Borah in
the preference primary because the
Republican organization is opposed to
his nomination. The President may.
therefore. obtain a vote much in ex-
cess of that cast for Borah. But the
Pennsylvania Republicans say that
will not be particularly significant
The Republican registration this year
in Pennsylvania is many hundred
thousands larger than the Demo-
cratic.
Senator Borah makes his second in
vasion of Ohio this week when he
speaks in Columbus on April 80. His
supporters in the State have been
much encouraged by his showing in
the Illinois primary.

so. He told Thomas and others of
his group who oppose a tax plan for
relief purposes that had they exhibited
courage enough to meet the present
situation" there would have been no
demonstration.
Failure of the Legislature to ap-
prove a tax substitute for the Gov
ernor's per cent retail sales tax, re-
pealed last October after four months
operation, precipitated the present re-
lief crisis. The State relief treasury
became empty nine days ago and
since that time the States $50 mu-

During recent years, there has

lower power rates. Public Service Com

helped, although they have not been al

States Government has helped in this
program by passing the public utilities
act of 1885 that aimed to protect
small investors. The Government has
also set up the Federal Power Com
mission, which has begun to study
rates in various parts of the country.
"The most effective device for re-
ducing electric rates seems to be the
development of yardsticks with which
to measure the fairness OF rates
charged by these companies. Already,
nearly 1000 cities have set up mu-
nicipal plants, which, on the whole.
have been able to supply current more
cheaply than private companies"
