Amendment No. /
POlled Largest Vote

The land exchange amendment
to the constitution has passed by
a vote of 609,046 for and 259, 0O7
against, out of a total vote in the
election of 1,114,926 according to
complete official figures released
by the state canvassing board.
This is an endorsement of about
two and a half to one of those
who voted on the amendment,
and a clear majority of 36,582 of
the entire vote.
Conservation commissioner Her
man c Wenzel expressed himself
well pleased with the passage of
the amendment. This is a de-
monstration that the people of
Minnesota are becoming conser-
vation-minded, and in their vote
on the amendment they have
clearly shown that they are in
terested in a constructive program
of conservation and restoration of
their natural resources" said Mr..
WenZel.
This is the fifth time the
amendment was presented to the
voters of the state.
The passage of the amendment
will make it possible for the state
to consolidate its. forest holdings
and put into effect constructive
policy for reforestation, timber
management, and fire protection,
as well as to aid isolated settlers
in the forest regions to trade for
more desirable land, commented
Wenzel.
Final approval of all land ex-
changes is vested in the governor,
the attorney general, and the
state auditor, upon the recon-
mendation Of the conservation de-
partment. All mineral and water
power rights on state land traded
away, are retained by the state.

DRASTIC RAIL LAWS

Senate Committee Head Doubts
Higher Freight Rates
Will Save Lines,
b. the Associated Press.

B> the Associated Press.
Chairman Wheeler, Democrat of
Montana Of the Senate committee
investigating railroad financing, said
yesterday that drastic and large scale
legislation was necessary to solve the
problems of the carriers.
He declared few people believed the
roads could earn more money from
higher freight rates. certainly not
enough to save them"
In formal statement which he
SAID was prompted by "uninformed
speculation" concerning his commit
tees legislative intentions, Wheeler
added:
If railroad cannot meet its ex-
penses through increased earnings,
then it clearly must reduce its ex.
penses.
This can be done by reducing bond
interest where roads are overcapital-
lied and by reducing the much greater
expense Of maintaining duplicate IA
cilities and services Of all kinds which
are now required because of the waste

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE METHOD is WRONG

! Testimony already taken by the joint congress
siona committee on activities OF the tennessee
Valley Authority shows clearly why Eva IS the
most powerful single lever with which the New
OeaI nndermines the confidence" essential to the
working of a private ownership economy. 1t is
iva method rather than the ultimate purposes
ascrbed to it by congress, that instls pervasive
distrust of the intentions of individuals to whom
the government has delegated wide measure of
it's authority
Through one of its engineers, specifically author
lied to speak for it in his appearance before the
committee Wednesday, the TVA rejected the re-
quest of the Commonwealth & Southern Corpora
ton that prices for certain of its properties want
ed for municipal distribution of IVA power be
determined by the Securities and Exchange COM
mission. That is the IVA insists that the purchase
prce or prices be determined by negotiation be-
tween (a) municipalities allocated public funds
with which to duplicate the company properties,
should these not be sold at prices acceptable to the
prospective purchasers, acting under the tutelage
of the IVA and (b) private corporation owners
who must sell see themselves ruined by the COM
petition of municipal systems heaVly SUBSIDIZED Dy

Hinder such circumstances the pretense of nego-
tat;no sale price is no more than a fmsy cover
he reached, the question of method pursued and
defended bv the IVA must shock the conscience of
honest citizens 1t is not what the agencies of gov
ernment are willing to pay for this private property
that counts, but the arbitrary method they are will
ling to employ to force the owner to sell at die
tated price.
And the baneful influence of such method, used
bv a single government agency, not only extends
throughout the electric power field but must seep
into and through the whole range of business ac-
tivity. If coercion can be successfully practiced
here, in violation of the simplest justice between
the government and its citizens, where can it not
be used?
Congress-or President Roosevelt alone-could
put stop to this sort of thing without sacrifice of
single legitimate objective of the act which Gre
ated the IVA Unless it is stopped, and that very
soon, we may as we'll abandon hope that the coun-
try will set its foot upon the road to real eco

LOADED TO THE MUZZLE

In the United States the conservative and the
liberal principles always present in party poll
ties and the recent elections revealed a strong
swing back toward conservatism, The Saturday
Evening Post, Philadelphia, conservative weekly
and by far, the magazine of largest circulation IN
the country, says in an editorial. Generally IN
election years its influence has been exerted Tor
Republican candidates. It's editorial this week is
severely critical of the Republican partys undulant
movement in 1886 and to the present. saying IN
substance that it is opposing the New Deal for the
sake of the Offices but adopting some of its vaga-
res compromising, trimming, that there is no fight
in it. These sentences close the pagelong editorial,
and they are loaded they will penetrate, they will
set men thinking
"There will be conservative party else we
have lost our genius for popular government 1t
may not be the Republican party If not, it will be
a new party-and how stupid the Republican party
would feel if this should be a party led by the
Garner-Byrd- Glass Clark elements of the old DEM
ocratic party, leaving the Republicans in the posi-
ton of having nothing to sell to the people but an
imitation of the New Deal"
0re can think of The Saturday Evening Post
efelI ing Byrd, the strong young Virginian, for
president in 1940 who of the four mentioned, with
his colleague Mr.. Glass, is the candid man of con-

thinking would prefer any American to Mr.. Glass

publican, James Wadsworth Jr. of New York, with
the same favor that the magazine mentions the four

BY JOHN T. FLYNN
NEA Service STAFF Correspondent

Charles F. Kettering, General
Motors laboratory man and in
yention hunter, told the O'Ma-
honey monopoly committee in
Washington that what the country
needs is new industries. But what
interested me most was his state
nent that you cannot just 60 out
md look for new inventions and
ind them in a hurry.
He said he had, young men
working on definite problems for
IS years who had not found the
answer yet. In that statement lies
IN important fact for those who
are sitting around waiting for a
lew invention to drag us out of
he hole. I once spent a day with
another man like Charles Ketter-
ng-Dr. Willis R. Whitney, retired
head of the General Electric Lab
oratorieS.
He said that few of the great
apoch-making inventions were dis
covered by looking specifically for
them. Scientists stumbled over
hem, often looking for something
else.
The Roentgen rays - X-rays
which have played so amazing a
role in medicine and engineering
were not discovered because
someone realized we ought to have
a means of looking through g
mans body and observing its de-
feets. Roentgen was looking fol
something else. When he found
the x-ray it was good for looking
through the teeth at hidden de.
fects. ..
We did not learn to fly by work
ing through a long series Of
inventions directed at that precise
end. Flying became possible anc
indeed inevitable, DR.. Whitne,
told me, when the gasoline motor
was discovered. The man whc
made that motor was not thinkins
about inventing flying.
Radio was not discovered BY
men seeking directly for a mean.
of distant communication or O.
broadcasting. 1t was an accident

candescent lamp he was deeply
troubled by a glow which APP
peared near the base of the fila
ment in the lamp. He. worked and
others worked to get rid of that
defect-they called it the Edison
effect.
They did not know it was radio
they were trying to get rid of. For
it is that phenomenon which led
to radio when it was understood.
It had actually been discovered
for years before anyone. knew it.
At the time 1 talked to DR..
Whitney he had just made a
strange discovery. He wasn't
looking for it. He was expert
menting with electricity as a
means of stimulating the growth
Of plants. Out of mere curiosity
he subjected an egg to the small
device he had constructed. 1t
killed the egg. So he thought per-
haps he had found means of kill
ing insect pests. He put flies in
test tube and applied his cur
rent.
The flies died. When he ran a
cold air current through the tube
ne found the flies came to life.
Soon he discovered that what had
happened to the flies was that the
electricity had given them fever.
In the end, what started out to be
a means of stimulating the growth
of plants ended in the fever ma
chine-a machine to give fever
artifcially to human beings and
to control that fever perfectly.
And it is an odd thing that this
same Charles Kettering, intrigued
by DR.. Whitney's interesting eX-
pertinent, has spent a great deal
of money in his home town of
Dayton to enable physicians to ex-
pertinent with Dr. Whitney's fever
machine.
Some amazing invention one OF
these days may bob up to knock
the depression in the eye. But it
will probably come as unexpected
ly as the X-ray, the flying ma
chine, the radio, the fever ma
chine. One thing is sure-inven-
ton is not done.

ENTOMBED MAN SAYS ,
SAVED SANITY


LONDON, Dec. IS. (UP)-A
fly saved the sanity of miner
who was entombed for 16 hours
in Pit House Colliery, Brandon,
Durham.
A cave-in shut John Lumley
off from the shaft and imprison-
ed him in a small hole. A rock
pinned him in an agonizing posi-
ton.
During all the hours of tor
ment, he could hear no sound
from outsid Only the buzzing
Of the fly, his only contact with
life, gave him hope. 1t prevented
his brain from ;, cracking under
the strain.
When rescue came and Lumley
saw his fly soar away into free
dom, there were tears in his eyes.
