NeU Deal Studies Ballot Boxes .
The Virginia Incident Not
Much of Test :.

WASHINGTON.-Every ballot box test which
be construed as measure OF Roosevelt
popularity or unpopularlty Is pelng scfutiilNeo
here with utmost care.
At first glance it might seem that Senator
Harry F Byrd, persistent critic OF the New Deal
and heretofore undisputed political boss OF Vlr-
ginia, had just suffered crushing defeat IN the
nomination for governorShip OF Lieut.-Gov
James H Price by vote of to l. Democratic
nomination in Virginia means election0
Price entered the contest as an avowed anti
Byrd machine candidate, and Byrd secured the
state for man strong enough to oppose him.
Price also publicly endorsed Roosevelt and his
record, as did most other Virginia candidates
But the picture is complicated than
that. Byrd never could find man, although
he tried out several, whose candidacy he could
get off the ground Many voters who ordinarily
would have voted with Byrd's machine voted
for Price because his opponent, State Senator
Vivian Page of Norfolk, obviously couldn't win
or because there was Byrd-endorsed candl-
date. Voters who always want to be with the
winner piled on the Price band-wagon
But Byrd is now expected to approach Price
and urge an alliance which will still leave the
senator a political dictator in Virginia.
Meanwhile, however it can be reported that
Harry Byrd and his machine have been beaten
for the first time.
Solicitor General Stanley Reed is still the
best bet the next presidential appolntee 10
the Supreme Court Reed comes from Kentucky
with the appointment and if he does he will not
appoint Reed If he decides he wants to make
a bow to his Senate enemies he will pick Circuit
Judge Sam Bratton of Albuquerque, former
senator with liberal leanings
Donald Richberg, who still remains in the
White House inner circle of advisers, is by no
means an impossibility. This correspondents
judgment is that he has about the best chance
next to Reed.
Your correspondent, who last February named
Judge Joseph G. Hutcheson, jr., of Houston, Tex,
as one of the six men Roosevelt would name to
the court if he had the opportunity, has some
new impressive dope to the effect that Hutche-
son hasn't chance now. The White House
thinks Hutcheson has been lobbying for the
JOB. When Senator Tom Connally of Texas
publicly urged Hutchinson upon Roosevelt, he
just about cooked Hutcheson's goose. Connally
helped conspicuously to defeat Roosevelt in the
court fight.
correspondent in Georgia writes that all of
Senator Walter F. Georges friends advocat-
ing Judge Gordon w. Chambers of the City
Court of Richmond county resident of Angus
ia, as the best man to succeed Justice Van De-
vanter. Judge Chambers is said to be well
pleased with the idea.
Thus far the chief reason behind the move
ment for Judge Chambers is said to be the fact
that if he doesn't get the appointment he will
run for the Senate against George, an anti-New
Dealer, next year. Chambers won't be appointed.

A DISTINCTLY UNPLEASANT
SMELL FROM TEXTBOOKS

One does not have to look as far as
Denmark for something which antagon-
izes a non-too-delicate set of nostrils
with an odor which, gravely to under
state the case, is putrid. One has only
to look about here in California, as long
as one looks in the direction of the
state bard of education.
Probably no one-or, at most, only
few persons-will ever know why the
state board awarded a state textbook
contract to the highest bidder when the
low bid promised a saving of S167, 900,
and when the state curriculum commit
tee, the business of which it is to know
about such things. recommended a firm
which bid $4,000 less than the high
bidder.
If there is any reason why the people
of California should be forced to spend
S167, 900 more than seems necessary, and
$4,000 more than competent board
believed was necessary to get the best
possible results in textbook printing
then the state board of education surely
owes it to the public to tell that reason,
Immediately. 1t would have to be very
good reason to be worth $4,000 in tax
payers money.
Dr.. Walter Dexter, state superinten-
dent of public instruction, voices the
opinion that most of us hold when he
says:
1--WE gone into this matter from the
standpoint of economy, simplicity and
integrity, and l refuse to have anything
to do with that contract
One cannot help wondering if the
simplicity" he refers to can be the SIM
plicity of the board of education in be-
lieving that such a contract, involving
public funds, could go unchallenged.
The thought intrudes that most of the
large printing companies, important
enough to handle jobs such as the one
involved in the controversial contract,
maintain agents at Sacramento who are
more aptly described as lobbyists than
as anything else. Parenthetically, their
activities extend to every county seat in
California, too.
We believe there is good reason for fair
competition, but competition, it seems,
was out of the question from the first
when the state board of education con-
sidered the textbook contract.

A NEW DEALER FROM
THE BOTTOM OF THE DECK

There may be fireworks, but no intel
ligent observer expects anything other
than eventual compliance when the U. S.
senate Monday considers President
Roosevelt's nomination of Sen. Hugo l..
Black as associate justice of the United
States Supreme Court. Black is as good
as seated right now on the high tribunal
he has attacked so often as relic of the
famous "horse and buggy" days:
Blacks nomination was a typical ex-
ample of the Presidents sensational poll
tical tactics The rebellious spirit of the
senate was never better demonstrated
than when, for the first time in history,
it failed to extend Senatorial courtesy"
by Immediately approving the nomina-
tion. Yet the rebellion too, smacks just
a wee bit of politics. The recalcitrants
cannot help knowing that the nomination
eventually will be approved.
Anyone who expected President Roose-
velt to appoint anyone not similar to
Black to the supreme court certainly
has not followed Roosevelt's career. In
the Presidents defense it must be said
that the appointment of man who has
never failed to vote for a New Deal law
was, in every sense, consistent with what
the President has preached from the
time he assumed office He wants a su-
preme court that will validate the laws
he or his confederates draft. Certainly
he is not to be blamed if, when he had
the chance, he appointed man who, he
knew, would vote along with him.

What Other
Editors Say
TEN UNITED STATES SENATOR'S
alameda Times Starr

In the United States Senate-ad-
mittedly the most powerful legiS-
latiVe body in the World-are ter
senator's who are said to have re-
ceiyed $1,000 each for testimonials
for a national advertised product
which competes with a large num-
Der of similar products for public
favor. One OF these senators, kid
ded by representatives of the press
concerning his testimonial, indi-
Gates it to be merely "one of thoSe
things. But the consistency, OF
honesty, of this particular senator
or that of his offending colleagues
in the venture for extra money, is
not the point.
The point is one of ethics and
common honesty. Ethics, if there
is such a thing anymore. forbids q
commercial gesture Seneath the
dignity Of a United States senator
Common honesty forbids a public
official in any capacity who is paic
for his services from the United
states treasury which collects its
revenue by taxation, from singing
one taxpayer out for favors while
accepting a salary contributed to
by other taxpayers in the same in
dustry. For a United States SEN
ator to accept money TO say in an
advertisement that so and Sos
breakfast food, for example, is su-
perior to that of the manufacturer
of some other brand is to cheaper
his character and add stigma TO the
body of which he is a member.
Statesmanship descending to
contest between senators as to
which can say the most favorable
things about a manufactured arti-
Gle, whatever 1t may be, is an offense
to good taste and common decency.
not to mention fairness to similar
products seeking a common market
This sort of thing creates the doubt
of sincerity. 1t sets up a standard
of personal values by which men
may be judge and one which the
public is quick to recognize at its
worth.
The public wishes to regard its
United States senators as great men
but some Of them make it a mighty
difficult thing to do.
