PRESIDENT GETS
AER0NAUT|CSB|[L
Senate Passes Maritime
Labor Board Measure
With Air Plan.
BY the Associated Press.


Legislation to centralize supervision
Of commercial aviation went to the
White House today along with bill
creating q Maritime Labor Board.
Both measures were enacted yester-
day after the Senate approved them In
less than five minutes.
The air bill establishes q civil aero
nautics authority to administer con-
troll now divided among several Fed
eral departments.
Senator McCarran, Democrat, Of
Nevada, who had worked for five years
to revise aviation laws, said the new
legislation would take aviation "out Of
politics" Senator Copeland, Demo-
crat, of New York said 1t would give
financial stability to airlines.
Six-Year Terms.
The new authority would consist of
an administrator and five board men,
bers, appointed by the President with
Senate confirmation, for six-year terms
at $l2 2,000-a-year salaries. The Presi-
dent could remove the board members
only for inef1ciency, neglect of duty or
malfeasance, but could remove the ad-
ministrator at will. The Chief Execu-
tive would designate the chairman and
vice chairman Of the authority.
In addition, the bill sets up a sub

ordinate air safety board Of three
members at salaries Of $500 each.
The new aeronautics authority would
be empowered To-:
Designate airmail routes and sign
contracts, work now handled by the
Postmaster General.
Take over the Interstate Commerce
Commissions power to flx airmail rates
and all other fares and charges.
Assume all the powers Of the Bureau
Of Air Commerce and probably most
Of the bureaus $500 employees.
Approve all Government expendi-
lures for aviation.
Consult with the State Department.
on aviation matters concerning foreign
relations.
Advise with the Weather Bureau on
meteorological matters.
Investigate Crashes.
The Safety Board would investigate
airplane crashes and recommend
methods Of eliminating perils of flying.
Senator Copeland said the new meas
ure technically cancels all airmail con.
tracts and in their place provides that
existing lines. after q showing of ade-
quacy. will receive certificates Of public
convenience and necessity.
The bill to amend the Maritime Act
establishes a three-member board to
handle labor problems on ships and
on the water front, but would not in
terfere with existing laws or Federal
agencies. The members would receive
$4,000 q year.
Other amendments provide subsidy
arrangements designed to encourage
operation and enlargement of the mer-
chant marine.

News Behind the News
- Stamp Of Approval

WASHINGTON-RooSe fully approved of
the fire-eating speeches by Assistant Attorney
General Robert H. Jackson and Secretary oil
the Interior IckeS, which hvened the holidays
and stirred the ire of Democratic and other con-
Seryatives.
The President, in his message to Congress,
registered practically everything Jackson and
Ickes had Said-in nice, polite way.
The first of these facts is known to the inner
circle of presidential advisers and suspected by
all acute observers. 1t ought to be obyious~to
everyone
The second fact is plainly visible to anyone
who lays the Jackson-IckeS speeches side by
side with the presidential message.
It may seem surprising that the President
and his friends should seek to cover up or blur
these very essential facts and that the President,
if he fully agrees with Jackson and Ickes as to
monopolies, concentrated economic power ana
strikes of capitar' against the administration
should choose much softer words and fail to
show similar bellgerence.
But Roosevelt's words were much too strong
for his more conservative advisers, whose lnflu-
ence at the White House is again on the wane,
and even stronger than some of his liberal
advisers were willing to counsel.
One influential group of hoeralS advised hlm
he couldn't afford to fight Wall Street openly
unless he could get from Congress the eight or
ten billion dollars which he told would be
required in such a struggle II the fght were
TO be successful. Wall Street was too powerful
and wealthy to challenge this group said.
So the softer words were partly compromise
with that group. But they were also prelude
to Roosevelts Jackson Day Dinner speech in
which, his more left-wingiSh advisers were told
the President would really come out in a fight
ing speech with some heavy emphasis on alleged
similarity between his present position and that
of Andrew Jackson in the latter's famous strug-
gle with Nicholas Biddle and the Bank of the
United States
In Congress, probably all this news is pleas
ant to the small groups of progreSsiveS only.
Nevertheless, it appears to be the news.
If selfish suspension of the employment of
capital which Roosevelt aSsailed, means any
thing different than strike of capital which
Jackson and Ickes used and were accused OF
imagining" one is hard pressed to explain how,
Concentration of economic control to the
detriment of the body polite" quoting Roose-
veO was what Jackson and Ickes were talking
about Even references to controls by "a very
small numerical group and "a small group
were patterned family but designedly on the
flamboyant attacks OF Ickes on the Sixty Fam
lies
Less demagogc, less specific, less reckless,
nevertheless the voice of Roosevelt appears TO
be the voice of Jackson and Ickes, even though
pitched in another key. Roosevelt wants cooper
alton with business, almost entirely on his own
terms.

FOR
POOL HALL
TURNED DOWN

Until property owners in the 4O0
block on Main street petition for
the change, the Ell Centro city coun-
Gil will not amend city ordinance
which permits only one pool hall
franchise in any block on Main
street. Don Damron was told by the
council Monday.
Damron proposed to open a pool
hall between Fourth and Fifth
streets on Main street, but found
that Andy Vie already had a fran
chise to operate such an establish
ment in that block. Damron argued
that the ordinance should be
amended to permit more than one
pool hall in that particular block
because it is the logical place for
such establishments. He pointed out
farther that there were six pool
halls in the city at the time the
ordinance was passed, and declared
only two are operating at the pre-
sent time.
The council took the stand it
must be bound by the desires of the
property owners.

There S a Reason
Behind the Bic Salaries

Now that the treasury department
has released its list of the highest salar-
led individuals in the United States dur
ing 1886, there will be a lot of comment
pro and con. Labor chieftans will use
the list for fodder in feeding a growing
discomfort among working men. Politi-
clans will hark back to it in their attacks
on economic royalty
Without arguing one way or another
about the right or wrong of the nations
biggest salaries, we might point out that
without exception-there is some rea-
son for them.
When one man receives So a day for
his work and another receives $1,000 a
day, our mind naturally gasps at the
difference. The effect of the figures
is to make us forget, momentarily, the
difference between the men themselves.
The man who gets thousand dollars
a day has built up a business that gives
employment to thousands of men. The
man who gets So day employs nobody.
The one man has that genius we call
executive ability; the other has only the
ability to follow orders. Every man has
an opportunity to enter the higher brack-
cts. but few have the ability to do so.
That is not hokum. More than half of
the nations railroad presidents today
started among the working man, at low
salaries.
When you find difference, you'll
usually find reason, too.

A Few Lines
About Glass Houses

Nobody has yet voiced any grave oppo-
sition to Ell Centro's municipal campaign
to clean up vacant lots; in fact, the drive
seems to be quite popular one among
most of our residents. Yet those who
seem to favor it most are now and then
guilty of acts which impede progress
along this line more than little.
One of the most veXing problems fac
ing the men charged with carrying the
program through is the thoughtlessness
of some residents who, in cleaning up
the lot on which their own homes are
situated, toss the debris over onto a
vacant lot next door. Legally there is
no way to penalize the guilty party eX-
cept through long string of legal a.
tions, and nobody wants to start such
cycle.
There is another solution; a simple
one.
Cooperating with the city in a cam
paign that will do us all a lot of good,
we should refrain from dumping our
rubbish on a vacant lot next door to u.s.
1t is so simple to place the trash within
five feet of the alley, where it will be
picked up by those whose job it is to
gather this debris. Let's try it.

Dollars for Armament
And for Happiness

Some day the NATIONS OF the World
may abolish their armies, their navles
and their aerial combat divisions. When
they do. there will be an end to depres-
sion and beginning of the sort of a
life of which we can only dream now
When that day comes there'll be no more
violent nationaism, no more race hatred
and no more wars.
But don't hope too strongly. That day
is thousands of years away.
The point is that the world today
spends more money for fighting equip
ment than it spends on education, on
government or on any other one thing
Think what the result would be if taat
money were put to peaceful uses!

Other Editors Say
THOSE ROYALISTS
(San Pedro News-PilOt)

Nations business has been looking up the
antecedents of those economic royalists" now
under condemnation in Washington. If what
it says concerning their origin is true, they
are carrying a brand to which they not
entitled.
Whence came this new captain of a great
steel company" asks the paper, and furnishing
its own answer adds: Born in a coal miners
hut Where did economic industry go the other
day to get the new president of a great packing
company? An office boy thirty years ago. Where
did a world-renowned Chicago store find its
leader who died in November? In college
class room.
From what economic loins sprang the preSi-
dents of our biggest railroads? More than 100
came up from the ranks of telegraphers track
walkers, transit-carriers, clerks, from the hum
blest of positions.
Some time ago casual inquiry showed that
half the New York bankers were born in the
middle west and most of them on farms. The
presidents of Bell Telephone companies all be-
gan at the bottom, not one earning $40 week
at the start.
Where did this grasping, selfperpetuating
dynasty get the head of the worlds greatest
automobile corporation? An immigrant boy
who stepped off the gangpiank in New York at
the age of l6 And his competitors? One, whose
first name is Henry, was an itinerant watch and
clock repairer. and the other, Walter, mech
anic in a railroad shop at Ellis, Kan.
We'll if this be flouting democracy, give us
more of it, To simple mind Americas in

flower Where, since the world began has a
youth of unknown fame and fortune had greater
opportunity?'

Apparently We are entering into
another era of trust busting or at
least talk of trust busting. PLAY
ing monopoly" seems about to be-
come more popular as a political
game than it ever was as parlor
game.
Perhaps a little digging into the
theory, the philosophy, back of
the monopoly discussion won't do
any harm.
Nobody defends monopoly. Every
body, capitalist or workman, joins
in the cry that it is wrong. There
fore it would seem to violate some
thing which Americans generally
regard as fundamental.
What is this fundamental idea?
The general thought is very simple
If all goods are made by indivi-
duals who sell them in free compe-
tition with the goods of any other
individuals aiming at the same mar
ket, the consumer Will get the
break. He will get his goods at the
lowest possiable prices, because
the competition between sellers will
constantly tend to force all prices
down to the lowest point where the
lowest cost producer can make a
profit.
That is the theory, and up to
now it is certainly true that it has
caused a greater variety and guam
tity of goods to be distributed here
amoung more people than any
other system in any other country.
Periodically there are great
waves of protest that monopolies
have sprung up, destroying the
competitive principle that is the
heart of our manner of doing
things That means simply that one
man or organization has such COM
