What's What
Behind News
in Capital
Landon Seen as ; to l
Nomination Bet, but
Things May Slip.
BY PAUL MALLON.

TINE private consensus among
Republican inner circles at
Cleveland was that Gov. Lam
i don is now 3-to-1 bet for the
nomination. Vandenberg to 2. Other
dark horses were thought to be too
dark.
This is a sincere expression OF
highly authoritative opinion, but
the Kansas Coolidge is by no means
out of the Woods yet Most OF
his delegates are not irretriepdbly
nailed to his cause. An untore-
seen development might cause an
erodus from the band 1Dagon.
In fact, an unforeseen development
is now being talked about by certain
powers with money enough to carry
out their ideas. You may hear about
it shortly, but it is starting little
late to do anything effective.
Only Shadow Boxing.
The Cleveland meeting was less of
clash and less of victory for any
faction than has been generally ad-
vertised.
There was some shadow boxing
over the selection of a keynoter and
convention chairman, but both the
Landon and anti-Landon people
backed away. If the fight had been
carried through, the committee on
arrangements would have divided
to 6. Chairman Fletcher probably
would have cast the deciding vote
against Senator Steiwer. However

ROBERTS THREATENS.
BAD AIR BUS SUIT.
May Base Action on D. G. Utili.
ties Law-Final Order Ex-
pected Soon.

Reports by Health Officer George
c. Rutland that recent tests showed
the presence of impure air on some
buses Of the Capital Transit Co.
moved Peoples Counsel William A.
Roberts today to threaten to prose-
cute the company.
He indicated he might propose action
under the District utilities act unless
he found some more effective basis
for punitive action. The law imposes
q maximum penalty Of 5000 per day
for violation Of the utilities act.
The Public Utilities Commission,
which has been working for weeks to
find the best solution Of the problem
of bus ventilation, is expected soon
to issue q final order. It announced
recently it proposed to require pro-
vision of 10 cubic feet of fresh air
per seat per minute in all busses.
This probably would mean installa-
ton Of forced draft ventilation equip
ment on all buses.

Congressman who will vote for the
bill on political grounds has personal
doubts as to what it will do to young
business ambition.
Despite all you have read about the
political blow to Mr.. Roosevelt involved
in Louis Howe's death, it made nc
change currently on the inside.
Year Softens Blow.
The blow really fell more than a
year ago. At that time the President
lost the services of his irreplaceable
friend. Howe had been incapacitated
since. He had telephone in his hos
pital room lately, but was not able
to take any part in White House af-
fairs.
Howe was just as much to Mr..
Roosevelt, during the last campaign
and the first White House year, as you
have heard. He was the campaign
friend maker for Mr.. Roosevelt, q
smart philosopher, balance wheel
he could tell the President who was
lying and who was telling the truth
Such unselfish friendships happen
once In q thousand lifetimes. The
President can never get another Howe
The President is talking up early
adjournment OF Congress with the
same personal gag he used last
year. Then he complained con-
tinuously on the inside that con-
gressional delay iuas holding up his
trip to Ha,Daii. This year, tt is
Canada.
Some time ago. Speaker Byrns was
talking about adjournment April is,
or May sure. At that same time,
Vice President Garner gave one mem
ber "the real DOPE" He predicted ad-
journment May Is.
Despite all the talk, nothing con-
structive has been done to speed up
adjournment. There is reason to sus-
pect that the administration would
like to have it come after the Repub-
lican Convention, and before the DEM
ocratic Convention, which means
shortly after June IS. That Is the
present prospect.

the jobs were not worth fighting about.
Landon Manager Hamilton wisely de-
clined to become involved.
The two men chosen are highly re-
garded among most Republican au-
thorities here. Steiwer is conner in
party affairs. Smell is as good a par
Humanitarian as could be obtained.
President Roosevelt probably will
not have much to say in his next
few speeches. They will be handled
as routine"
The reaction to his Baltimore
bombsheH is fresh in the White
House mind. Also Gentleman Jim
Farley is supposed to haze been
pulling te,U White House tDires
deity OF late to promote Quietude
there. Some OF his pals haze been
grumbling since the Baltimore er-
perience that they are able to keep
every one else in the Netp Deal
quiet but cannot handle Mr.. Roose-
pelt.
The double chairman generalissimo
wisely believes no occasion now exists
for saying anything important.
The reason the House tax bill has
rubbed certain Democratic Congress-
men the wrong way is that its funda-
mental theory is contrary to their
traditional American teachings. It
seems to discourage every mans am
bition to get out of debt, and to pro-
vide his own security for old age. 1t
encourages over capitalization and
get-rich-quick-today methods.
One Democratic Case.
One loyal Democrat recalls that
he started out in business by borrow
ing $4,000 from his father. He set
up his business, but had to borrow
continuously from the bank for five
years to establish his business. Dur
ing all that time he took small wage.
He was willing to get himself into
debt and to slave for the future. Later
he used his earnings wisely to better
his plant and pay his debts, always
ambitiously expanding and bettering
himself, employing more men.
The fundamental theory of the tax
scheme is that it is bad thing to
pay of debt to lay aside for rainy
day. Such payments are penalized.
The distribution of all earnings to
stockholders Is encouraged under
system which will force business men
to raise money by issuing more stock.
That is the road to bankruptcy.

With the administration made a

loaned during the coming year,
and Congress authorized to appro-

petus is expected in rural aectrifi-
cation throughout the country.
In regard to the situation in de-
veloping rural identification in
North Carolina, it was stated that
the State college agricultural ex-
tension service plans to hold a
series of meetings over the State
of an. educational character to ac-
quaint the farmers with the uses
of electricity and give advice on
the best method of wiring, use Of
appliances, and so on. Dean I. O.
Schaub, director of the service
says that a newly awakened inter-
est in rural identification has
brought requests for such infor-
nation from all points.
The All clubs of the State also
are interested in the subject. Club
boys and girls are encouraged to
draw up plans of their homes and
farm buildings, showing electrical
equipment now used, if any, and
indicating needed additions. Maps
are also requested showing the re-
lation of the farms to power lines.
Prizes are offered for winners in
each county and for the State. The
information thus secured will be
of great value to the extension
service, the power companies, and
the co-operatives.
