|SA TEDIOUS lob
Never Ceasing Task And
Requires Forever CUES
tioning Mind for Details
By LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer

How does Columns obtain his
news?
Thus reader questions.
1t is a fair question. 1t would be
wise for oil writers to record the
sources of their information.
A TEDIOUS Job
News gathering, in whatever form
is ncve--ceasing task. 1t is job
that requires infinite patience, good
organization of sources and a mind
capable of balancing impartially.
More than that, however, it requires
an open mind, q foreVer-questioning
mind, one never satisfied in seeking
to ferret out the last detail, the ner-
est iota. to balance the scales equita'
bly,.
SOME QUESTIONS
For example, in today's data under
examination Gin a Washington hote.
room, it so happensl are such unans'
wered questions as. these:
/. Could the tax bill be kept within
the original Roosevelt basis and tax
undistributed corporate income with
cut permitting large corporations to
escape through distributing their in
come in the manner they pursued in
1884? This attack on the bill--os-
tensibly to guard the little fellow
against the big fellow-was made by
Senator Byrd of Virginia, who has
been notably anti-New Dealish) Some
answer that this matter could be ar
ranged easily-by amending the cur
rent tax bill to keep the present in
come tax in addition to levying the
tax proposed by President Roosevelt
on undistributed earnings. But the
entire matter has been complicated
by belief in some circles that the pre-
sident was "misled' and would aban-
don his original conception altogeth-
er.
The tax bill is worth a great deal
of space That is, provided one can
make a detailed study, and write the
results in a simple, understandable
manner
A RUMOR
Then, there is rumor that Senator
Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan,
considered a Republican dark horse"
would consent" to take the vice pres
idential nomination under Gov. AL
fred NJ. Landon of ansas.
! The story would be considered
nearer the exact facto if Vandenberg's
supporters did not believe he still
had a chance for the premier post.

hand, is composed almost exclusively
of the conservative element in the
Democratic party which believes that
the party has wrought well and good
in the past. They like Mr.. Hoey's con-
servatism and have only whole-heart-
ed approval of the records made by
Governor Ehringhaus and former
Governors Gardner, Morrison, ct al.
They want to see the same conserva-
tive policies for which the Democra-
tic party has been noted during the
past 35 years continued without in
terruption and are convinced that Mr..
Hoey is the man to continue these po-
licies and keep the State on an even
keel They are the pros" and except
among themselves are generally
agreed to be in the minority at the
present time.
The Graham supporters, however,
are admittedly composed of both
"antis" and "pros" and of more
"antis" than of the other group. For
it is generally conceded, that while
Graham is not against as many things
as is Mcdonald, he is far from being
as conservative and as closely linked
with the old order in the Democratic
party as is Hoey, with the result that
he is pulling votes from both Nc
Donald and Hoey but more from the
Mcdonald group than from any other.
The belief in all but the Hoey circles
here is that Graham is cutting into
Mcdonald much more deeply than
Hoey and that the Shelby man Is
scarcely cutting into the Mcdonald
following at all. The Hoey support
tiers maintain, however, that Graham
is no longer a factor in the campaign
and that it is already a clear-cut fight
to the finish between Hoey and Nc
Donald.
Carrying this same line of reason
ing on a little further, and estimat-
ing that 100000 votes will be cast in
the first primary, many of the obser-
vers here maintain that the anti
vote will be 60 per cent of the total
or about 100000. But of this amount,
it is further contended that DR.. Nc
Donald will get only about two-thirds
or 100000, with the other one-third,
amounting to $4,000 votes, going to
Graham. Thus this group is convinced
WV
will not exceed 100000 in the first
primary, although he would probably
get the entire 100000 and win the
nomination if Graham were not in
the contest.
This leaves a "pro' vote, then, of
100000. But here, again, it is contend
ed that Hoey will not get all of these
100000 votes, but that about one-third
of these, or 10000 votes, will go to
Graham from those who are inclined
to regard Hoey as being too conser-
vative and not quite as liberal as
Graham.
When all these are added up, the
result gives Mcdonald 100000 votes
Hoey 10000 and Graham 100000 anc
shows Hoey and Graham running
neck and neck for second place.
So while the Hoey managers claim
that he already has second place in
the bag, with a chance to displace
Mcdonald, the Graham forces are
convinced they still have a chance
to put Sandy in second place and are
working night and day to do that
even though the odds favor Hoey.
