ALL UTILITIES
INCLUDED IN
NEW PROGRAM

The national program which
calls for the public ownership OF
public utilities is not confined !
the light and power utility but
would include al other utilities
within its wide scope Of operation.
In this connection it is pointed
out IN a recent publication that
although many persons might be
inclined TO believe that this public
ownership program cannot be sue
cesSful. the opposite Is true. II
has been argued that when the
government. or the people. either
as a whole or in any particular
section of the country endeavor
TO operate Their utilities such 4
program cannot be successful.
On the contrary. this publication
points out many instances of sue
cessful operation of programs for
the public good carried OH by the
national and local governments.
Thus, for example, it is shown
that the American public school
system is carried on successfully
under the control of state and ma
tional governments. The public
road systems of this country are
government owned and operated
as is also the postal service, one
OF the most important functions
of the national government.
The Panama canal is shown as
a shining example Of efficiency
in both construction and operation,
this being under public, or govern
ment control. Around this canal
are many government enterprises,
all of them successful. AT each
end there is a great power plant
owned and operated by the gov
ernment furnishing current at very
low cost
With these facts in mind, sup
porters of the program which calls
for the public ownership of utili-
ties refer to these government
operations to show that they can
be operated successfully and to
advantage over the privately own
ed and operated systems.

HAYS REVIEWS
GAINS MADE AT
ROAD MEETING

The Broadway of America con-
Vention has come and gone. The
net result. according to Manager
Robert Hays of the El Centre
chamber of commerce. was the ad-
dition Of one director from Cali
fornia, making a total of five from
this state. Leo Hetzel of Ell Centre
is a hold-oVer director. having two
years more 10 serve. Edgar F.. Hast
ings, chairman CT the board of su-
perVisors Of San Diego county was
made director for the first time,
having never before served. on the
directorate.
Just before adiournine, the en-
tire convention group accorded Vice
President Hetzel, Aho was host of
the convention. rising vote of
thanks, the only tribute of its kind
given during the convention ses-
sions.
The much debated question of
realigning the Broadway of Amer
ica via Gila Bend and Casa Grande
did not come up for discussion. So
many similar situations existed,
Hays said, along the route of the
Broadway of America that dele
| gates from several of the states
were unwilling TO 60 into the
| problem lest a precedent be es-
tablished at ella Bend which
would become the basis for other
changes in the eastern and south
ern states, and the matter was
therefore allowed to rest.
One Of the accomplishments was
the selection of Russell T. Bailey
Of San Diego, secretary o.
| the AutomotiVe association of San
Diego as secretary manager of the
| Broadway of America. Bailey will
really be travelling manager who
will travel over the Broadway to
secure memberships and financial
support for the organization and
for its proposed advertising cam
oaign.
Leo Hetzel accompanied the dele
cation to San Diego, and Saturday
afternoon. Saturday evening and
Sunday. the delegates were enter
tanned by the Fair Administration
and other San DIEGO groups
= 4as brought Out at the con-
Venton," said Hays, that within
4 very few months, three other
transcontinental highways besides
the Broadway of America will be
completely paved from coast to
coast. It is going to be necessary
to fight harder for travel over this
road, and it is also necessary that
Ell Centro and Imperial Valley do
everything possible to develop ira
vel from ether sources and to en-
1eavor through publicity to attract
traffic from directions other than
.he southern highway, Highway
U. S. 30, to compensate for what
ever losses may come through COM

LIBRARY OBTAINS
ANCIENT SCROLL
Relic of Old Pagoda One OF
Rare Samples of Print
ing Art.

An exquisitely fashioned Chinese
scroll, relic from an ancient and
famous pagoda, a painting OF which
It bears, is on display in the Library
OF Congress.
Its acquisition was announced yes
terday by DR.. Herbert Putnam, libra
rian, who described it as "a multilated
Buddhist invocation sutra.'
The rare piece of Orientalia once
was in the Lei Feng TIA or Thunder
Peak Pagoda on the banks Of West
Lake, Hangchow. Approximately SO
generations of Chinese saw the
pagoda's rugged but artistic lines
during its 10 centuries Of existence.
The pagoda crumbled in September.
1924.
Much of Text Remains.
The fragament contains a Chinese
rendition of the Sanskrit work tor
turously entitled "Sarvatathagatad-
hishthana- -hridaya -guhyadhatu- -karan-
da mudra -dharani." Only $50 of
the original 342 lines of beautifully
executed symbol-characters remain,
but even so the extant text is nearly
8 feet long-a rolled serpentine strip
Of delicate and graceful printing
two and half inches wide.
DR.. Arthur W. Hummel, chief of
the library's Orientalia division, said
the new acquisition was the earliest
specimen of printing art we possess,
excepting only three japanese votive
charms or dharani which were pro-
duced by order of the Empress Shotoku
about the year ITO AID.
Differs From Original.
LAS now mounted, the Lei Feng TIA
scroll differs from a complete original
preserved in the West Lake Museum
in that it lacks a line-draWing of
temple interior in which a suppliant
with attendants appears making
offerings. Instead, our copy bears
co.ophon written by contemporary
calligrapher, Tan Kuo-huan. at the
request of Gen. Chang Hsueh-liang,
former governor of Manchuria; also
a good representation of the pagoda
from which the sutra was taken,
done in water color by an artist of
Gangchow."
The demolished pagoda. DR.. Humme!
believes, was erected in 975 AID. the
work of ruler of the local kingdoms
of WI and Yueh 1t was designed
In tribute to the memory of favorite
consort, and its creator bore the name
of Chien Shu, also written Ch'ien

MILLION PEAK
Roosevelt and Landon Will
Make Final Microphone
Pleas Tonight
SAY BALLOT TEST OF
US. PARTY STRUCTURE

NEW YORK, Nov. 2. (UP).--
Nationwide fireside chats by the
two major presidential candidates
tonight will conclude the most ex-
pensive campaign in American his
tory and one which may prove to
be the most significant since the
election of Abraham Lincoln put
the Republicans on top.
A record-breaking number Of
voters will begin before dawn to-
morrow to reveal the true politi-
cal complexion of this country
and whether its party structure is
about to collapse.
Betting odds today favor Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The campaign bill exceeds $751;
100000, 100000 spent by Re-
publicans and 100000 spent by
the Democrats, with minor party
organizations spending the re-
mainder.
The two major parties spent
slightly more than 100000 in
1928.
Jas. A. Farley claimed 46 states
for Roosevelt, saying, 1.-THE Re-
publicans have the right to feel
hopeful only in Maine and YER
mont"
Hamilton believes Landon will
carry IA vital states east of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio
and Potomac rivers and pick up
enough mountain states to place
him in the White House.
Experts viewing the extraordi-
nary registration increases esti-
mate that from 100000 to A.
100000 persons will vote.
The campaign will end when
President Roosevelt and Governor
Landon turn away from the micro
prones tonight in Hyde Park and
at Topeka.
Laboring men and women in the
Roosevelt parade are being sub
jected to whitening Republican
fire in the argument that Roose-
veIt's old age social security pro-
gram is more of q lifetime tax on
wages than any assurance of Sc
curity when they can work no

ounty Ends Holly Contested Campaign
DUCE NAMES ITALIAN RIGHTS

ASPART OF PRICE OF PEACE
Says League of Nations
Dead, Outlining
New Policies

ROME, Nov. 2 (UP).-Premier
Benito Mussolini's European peace
program was clear at last to Eu-
ropes worried governments today.
Laid down in a speech at Milan
yesterday, the program called for
scrapping such illusory ideals as
disarmament. the League of Ma
tons. collective security and indi-
visible peace and for facing reali-
ties, the chief one Of which is that
Italy seeks peace but is ready for
war.
Linked up with this program
is a joint Italian-German fight
against communism and a demand
for "iustice" to Hungary, a World
war loser, as an essential to con-
tinued peace.
Mussolini made his speech to
100000 frenzied Italians. Three
times the cheers that punctuated
his shouted phrases were turned
to boos and cat calls-for France,
for the League and for the un-
happy bupler who sounded three
fiat notes in giving the signal for
silence.
The Kisses for France came when
Mussolini said that France had re-
fused to recognize his conquest Of
Ethiopia. The Kisses for the league
came when he said that the league
must be completely reformed or
die. It appeared that MuSsolini
meant what he said about the al
tentative Of death and that he was
surprised when his hearers, drilled
for months into the belief that the
league already was moribund, de-
manded death.
He seemed to sense the feeling
of the crowd and quickly added
his impression that reformation
was impossible and that it would
be better for the league to "die in
peace"
Mussolini went out of his way
to urge Great Britain to reach an
agreement, on his terms, for Med
iterranean peace. The Mediterra-
mean, he said earnestly, was ltaly's
life line. Italy did not mean to
cut it, he said, but it demanded
that it's rights be respected.
