WESTERN TRAVEL Routes
TELL CALIFORNIA; FUTURE

Over highways, seaWayS, railways and
airways, an army of travel is crowding
the west, the United Press reported this
week. From Sacramento came addition
al reports that tourists entering Califor-
MIA in the first six months of 1887 estab-
lished a new all time record in numbers
Allowing wide leeway for dust bowl
migrants coming west to restart life on
less than a shoestring, the reports are
still encouraging. We can, in fact, COM
pletely discount the record of highway
travel and still retain a very bright out
look. Refugees from the dust bowl are
not coming to California by ship and air.
plane-and yet shipping lines and air.
lines report the greatest travel for many
years. Railroads get very little patron
age from the penniless, drought stricken
farmers-and they, too, tell of increased
travel.
Many of those travellers, some of them
quite we'll off, will settle in California
and take up business here. Whether
they chose San Francisco, Los Angeles,
San Diego or Imperial Valley for their
new endeavors, the whole state will bene-
fit. What helps one part of the state
cannot help increasing the prosperity
of the whole of it.
The west is coming into its heritage
a heritage which in years to come will
see it as thickly populated, as highly de-
veloped and more wealthy than the older,
more industrialized eastern seaboard.

News Behind the News
A Question Not of Degree but of Dur
alton Roosevelt Loses Face =.
HOU Long Will 1t Last? :.

WASHINGTON.-The big question as to the
blow the President received with collapse OF the
court plan is not one of degree but OF duration
No one questions seriously the fact that his
prestige has had a terrific sock and that his
control over Congress is temporarily gone. The
question is whether he will be able to regain
command.
The first early important test of the extent
to which Roosevelt's strength is shattered will
come in the administration attempt to get
much stronger wage-hour law than the emascu-
lated version of its bill reported out by the
Senate labor committee.
Whatever happens to that one, after Con-
gress adjourns the President will have the
Washington sounding board all to himself and
may be expected to make "firesde chat and
other speeches in an effort to build up his pres
tige and power in January.
Congress will return to find him fighting
and all New Deal legislative proposals not passed
at this session will still be before it.
The opposition, busily attempting to nail
down its court victory that Roosevelt can
be stymied from now on, is making sperial
drive against some Of RooSevelt'S young aides
notably Tom Corcoran and Ben Cohen, to
whom he assigns his hardest jobs
Thus Senator Burt Wheeler of Montana,
who fought for the holding company act with
Corcoran and Cohen ever at his side-after
they had drafted the measure, has spread the
story that Corcoran had warned him admins
tration forces would beat him the court
fight
Shown a newspaper story in which Wheeler
appeared to boast that he had won the court
fight with a few tricks Corcoran had never
learned about young Corcoran retorted:
rs he taking credit for Joe Robinson's death?
That's the only trick I know of that beat the
court bill"
The Landmark, British monthly magazine of
the conservative English-Speaking Union, some
how failed to get excited over our court fight
or even the CLIO. 1t says:
1T has been said that America follows Brit
ain about a generation behind in political de-
velopment, and the working out of the So-called
Supreme Court crisis seems to offer an inter-
esting example of this. The parallel . is =.
the weakening of the powers of the House of
Lords to defeat legislation by the popular cham
ber"

WE CAN GO AHEAD
WITH CANAL POWER PLANS

The ruling handed down by the Dis
trict of Columbia supreme court this
week in the injunction suit filed by the
Nevada California Electric corporation
against the Public Works Administration
means that the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict can go ahead, practically unmolest-
ed, with its plans for developing hydro
electric energy on the All American
canal.
The only temporary restriction placed
on the district is that it shall not now
construct distribution lines which would
compete with lines already constructed
by the power company. 1t cannot be too
strongly stressed that this order is mere
ly temporary one, pending a trial of
the case. The entire ruling, in fact, re-
stricts issues of the suit to the question
whether the government can loan a
municipality money to build lines which
will replace or parallel private lines
already in existence.
This weeks temporary order has the
effect of ruling that the district can en-
ter into the power business, with the
help of the federal government. That
the order was made before trial of the
case indicates little doubt in the mind
of the court on this point
The ruling means, in short, that we
can go ahead Immediately with our own
power project.

No matter how the individual
citizen stands on the organizational
rights of employees or employers,
he will find it advantageous to be
aware of the practices and princi-
ples-or lack of them-which dis
tinguish racketeering from legi-
innate activity.
New York City has been going
through a stiff course in these fun
damentals with Thomas E. Dewey
special prosecutor of rackets, as
teacher And often the revelations
have been startling.
The recent trial of group of
men for conspiracy to put out OF
business such bakeries as failed
to abide by certain rules and prices
established by an association" pro-
vides some good examples of COM
plications that may arise.
One witness testified that when
a price-cutting baker was to be
classified, the organization put a
"black wagon on his route. The
"black wagon" bearing no firm
name, was to follow the route
trucks of the price-cutter and un-
dersell him.
A Bronx baker who suspected, but
could not prove that union officials
and officers of bakers associa-
toin we're conspiring TO drive him
out of business. told how his shop
was picketed and one of his trucks
burned. Other witnesses testified to
continuation of protection" and to
payments they had made to assure
enforce the organization rules.
Now a price-cutting war in it
self is not necessarily evidence of
racketeering Nor is the formation
of a union of workers, or an aSsoci-
VI ~ OiiiJ
when these legal forms are borrow
ed" to shield illegal activities that
the trouble begins.
A typical feature of the rackets
is that their promoters are adept at
picking out the right spot and the
right time to begin without attract
ing attention. Usually, the best
openings come when the public is
enormously occupied with some
other problem.
Right now, then, when scores
of new, legally sanctioned unions
are being formed, and uncertainty
over industrial readjustment is di-
verting the attention Of a nervous
public, the field is perfectly smoke
screened for all shades and varieties
of illegitimate organization projects.
