PAY-BILL TALK

New sentiment has recently de
veloped on "the Hill" in favor OF
wage and hour legislation and
there is a strong likelihood that a
wage-hour measure, in some form,
will be enacted by the current
Congress.
The Virginia -Carolinas TYPO
graphical Conference, holding its
closing session at the Washington
Hotel last night heard Senator
Robert r. Reynolds D) of North
Carolina make this prediction as
he declared that the failure Of the
House to pass the wage-hour bill
is the most unfortunate thing
that ever happened to our be-
loved South"

CONTROL CONSOLIDATED

Outstanding is the Administra-
tion's determination to consolidate
regulation of aviation, including
granting of subsidies, in one gov
ernmental body.
Under this plan, the Depart
ment of Commerce and Post Of
flee Department would be stripped
of power over the industry and
the Maritime Commissions request
through Joseph P. Kennedy for
complete authority over foreign
mail would be denied.
The tentative plan calls for
adoption of the separate aviation
commission proposal of the inter
departmental committee named by
Mr.. Roosevelt to study the sub
ject.
ICC TO GET POWER
Because of strong objections
from important congressional lead
ers. it is possible that the separate
commission plan will be Shelved
If this is done, it is probable that
the Interstate Commerce CommiS
sion will be name dthe regulatory
body.
With various Government agen
cies conducting a behind the
scenes" scrap to avoid loss OF
power, it was authoritatively
stated that Mr.. Roosevelt is ready
to crack the whip once the, plan is
definitely worked out and label the
new program an Administration

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

Queen City Sun-The State unemploy-
ment insurance agency will now have
the privilege of paying for thousands
of vacations, if some of these corner
cutting employees have it doped out just
right.
They argue that each man has the
right to draw a substantial sum OF
money from this unemployment fund,
so why not quit, with spring in the air
and the fishing season coming on, to
enjoy long period of rest? Why not
accept this gratuity that has been so
generously offered by the politicians
of Minnesota? Why work?
They say any man has the right to
quit a job, or refuse to accept another
one, without losing his place at the
pie-counter, If he has a good reason
for doing so. If he considers the hours
too long, or the pay too low, that is said
to be sufficient reason. He is the
sole judge in determining whether work
is attractive or not.
The man is dumb indeed who labors
on, when the State is willing to pay for
a nice long vacation.
So let's go fishing!

Wide AID Campaign of States
Attractions Outlined by Ed.
Shave at Rotary Meet.

1--WE are now, or will this year, reach
in the neighborhood of 40 million people
by advertising in the cities of Chicago,
st. Louis, and in the territory immedi-
ately tributary to Minnesota from which
we secure the larger part of our tourists"
said Ed. L. Shave, director of the Min
nesota Tourist Bureau, in his talk to
the Rotary club and their guests at the
Forest hotel last evening.
He further went on to state that this
year the bureau would advertise in 80
daily papers in twelve states. He
claimed that last year the bureau used
only one sports magazine but that this
year advertising would be carried in
three most prominent sports publica-
tons. Advertising also would be done
in Golfers Weekly with circulation of
100000 and an audit bureau rating of
5 readers for every copy printed.
Mr.. Shave deplored the paltry appro-
priation made for the bureau by the
state legislature for business that
brought into the state the noticeable
amount of $8o,OO0OOO Or more dollars
last year and which he termed the
third largest industry in the state.
He cited figures of the amount spent by
Wisconsin and Michigan, our nearest
competitors, for the tourist trade and
stated that in order to compete with
these states more money must be fur
nished the bureau.
"Sixty-three per cent more inquiries
have been received by the bureau this
year over last as the result of the adj
vertising," he said and he cited twenty
counties in the state interested in the
tourist dollar, fourteen of which are
vitality interested. He took an unholy
rap at the high fishing license fee
exacted by Minnesota and showed fig
ures of our neighboring states who had
lowered their fishing license fees, and
increased their gain, while Minnesota
suffered loss from this source.
The director made very favorable
impression in his talk and said many
things that were all too true and not
too complimentary to the state powers
and the niggardly policy pursued to-
wards this growing tourist industry. He
also spoke in an optimistic vein on the
cooperation expected from his host Of
friends. Speaking of optimism, in re-
counting the hardships experienced by
our forefathers in settling and develop
ing the country he said mo nation has
ever survived without optimism" and
wished for its return among the people
