WASHINGTON.-The size o. the audience
which listened to the canned dog food" speech
of Senator L. J. Dickinson, Rep. Ia, tuctuat-
ing as 1t did between a low point of one senator
and a high water mark of five senators, might
measure of the enthusiasm in Washington over
the senator's candidacy for the presidency.
Failure of the speech to make an effective
issue and certain aspects of it which melted
to laughter, provided an example of the sort
OF thing which confines the Dickinson support to
tiny fragments of the Republican party.
Few who sat through the senator's long
and dreary keynote speech at the Chicago con-
vention four years ago have ever quite forgiven
him. It is at least a tenable theory that Dick
insonS aspirations for the presidency were
settled then and there.
But Hell Roaring Dick" as he is called.
had a secret conference with Herbert Hoover
a few weeks ago and all who talked with him
thereafter noticed new gleam in his eye.
They gathered the distinct impression that,
second only to Mr.. Hoover, Senator Dickinson
was Mr.. Hoovers candidate for the Republican
nomination.
When Dickinson rose to tell the world that
20,000000 cans of dog food were being consumed
by human beings, everyone felt that this was
his first big blast IN plunge 1or the presi-
dency.
Publicity sheets from western headquarters
of the Republican national committee were dis
tributed in advance with text Of the speech and
description" of its delivery
This said it was sensational speech, tod
how Dickinson emphasized certain points with
studied deberation." and declared he had eX-
hibited cans of dog food to the Senate.
AS a matter of fact, Dickinson displayed no
dog food and had to explain that he had it in
his office All this was another example OF the
Republican national committees fooled pub
licity. which is rapidly becoming notorious
causing the StrategSts behind the Governor
Landon candidacy to tear their hair.

to write funny stories and Democratic senators
a chance to take lot of the edge off the Dick

Other Editors Say
{ Santa Ana Register

The pressure that will be brought to bear
on the President OF the United States to compel
him to continue having the Federal government
furnish the funds for local politicians to hand
out jobs and give relief will be the real Gethse-
name the President will have to face.
Our own people in California are claiming
that the relief should be local; that it will be
much more economical when it is operated from
the local angle than from the national which is
true. Yet. we have just been entreatlng the
administration to furnish money to continue re-
lie in May of this year. The mayors of nearly
100 cities have been beseeching the administra-
tion to continue to increase the local relief.
These local politicians know full well that if
they have to ask their local taxing districts to
furnish this money, they will not be nearly so
popular with the recipients of relief because they
know it vii be put on more practical basis and
they will often have to say no to the chiselers
They know that they will not be so popular; that
the taxpayers will Immediately arise and insist
on relief being handled in a humane but practi-
cal manner.
The more the politicians know this. the more
pressure they will bring to bear on the White
House for continued federal subsidy. The local
subdivisions would have to be economical be-
cause they could not borrow the money. They
cannot do like the Federal government does
use credit initiation and force the banks to dlate
the credit of the country and change the pur-
chasing power Of money. It is this ability OF the
Federal government to initiate and take from the
insurance policy holders and bond holders their
savings that enables sthem to continue for
while this excess of expenditures over income
Local subdivisions cannot do this. If our money
system is not to be wrecked. the only hope is
that relief comes back to local subdivisions
As an indication of the pressure that the
President is facing, ne tried to reduce the num-
Der Of CCC camps This was resisted to the
utmost by the congressman. who wanted this
means of handing out favors 10 satisfy their
local constituents. The governors and mayors
of the various cities resisted the Federal govern
ment, insisting on local communities taking care
o. the unemployables. The President certainly
is will face the most difficult time that any
President ever faced in resisting the pressure
Of the local politicians when he tries to dis
continue the Federal subsidy.

Own Power System
Gives Better Service
To Any Community

A community, either large or
small, which own and operates its
own light and power system is in
position to bring benefits to its
residents in the form of lower cleo
trio rates and improved service and
also in other ways to the commun-
ity as a whole as is pointed out in
a recent bulletin.
Speaking of business progress
and development this bulletin points
out that municipal plant means
better and more business opportun-
tiles for the community. 1t states:
In the first place municipal sys-
tenn employs more people at better
wages than a private plant. That
means more money for more peo-
pie going over the counters of the
home merchants. A private plant is
almost certain to become. sooner or
later, SubStation on the high line
of some Superpower system. That
means fewer people employed in
team will take on a strong I. V.
ness"
III regard TO the deVelopment OF
industry the bulletin shows that
With low electric light and power
rates industries can develop and
muliply-neW ones can be brought
to the community which has low
power rates. Industries go where
there is power at low rates and rates
are kept down only by municipality
owned plants states the bulletin.
Service of electricity to the terri
tory in the neighborhod of such
municipality owned plant is another
advantage which reflects upon the
plant itself Power and light
brought to farmers at prices which
they can afford to pay is also
benefit to the merchants and other
residents of the communities which
operate such systems.
