Jackson Held Likely
Choice Of President
As Attorney General
Cummings to Return
To His Law Practice
In January

By the Associated Press.
Robert H, Jackson, 46-year-old
Solicitor General, appeared to many
Capital politicians today to be the
likely successor to Attorney General
Cummings
Mr.. Cummings, 68, will return to
private law practice in. January,
marking the third cabinet change
since President Roosevelt took office
in 1888. The President said yester-
day he had not yet given thought to
successor.
If Mr.. Jackson is appointed, it
will not be his first promotion in
administration ranks. He left his
law business in jamestown, N. Y,
IN 1884 to become general counsel
for the Internal Revenue Bureau.
Later he became Assistant Attor-
ney General in charge of tax mat
tiers and subsequently was put in
fcharge of antitrust prosecutions.
Early this year he was chosen So
licitor general-right-hand man to
Mr.. Cummings-after Stanley F..
Reed was appointed to the Supreme
Court.
The two previous cabinet vacan-
cles. caused by the death of George
H. Dern. Secretary of War. and
the fatal illness of William H. Wood
IN, Secretary of the Treasury, were
filled by men from their depart
ments
Speculation on Successor.
Besides Mr.. Jackson. men whose
names figured in speculation over
successor to Attorney General
Cummings included Gov. Frank
Murphy of Michigan, friend of the
President, who recently was defeated
for reelection: Assistant ATTORNEY
General Brien Mcmahon and Assist
ant Attorney General Carl McFar-
land.
The announcement of Mr.. Cum
mings' impending retirement re-
newed discussion in political circles
OF other possible cabinet changes.
There have been reports that Secre-
tarles Woodring, Swanson and
Roper might resign or be shifted to
other posts.
Secretary Roper said today, how
ever. he had no intention OF resign
ing.
Il don't know anything about it'll
he said of the recurrent rumor he
might quit.
Another Government vacancy,
caused by the resignation of James
Roosevelt as one of his fathers
secretaries, probably will not be
hlled. James, who has been recu-
peratlng on a California ranch after
an operation, is expected to return
to the White House secretariat in the
spring.
Hollywood film circles heard he
might take an executive position
with a motion picture studio, but
he said last night he was contem-
plating nothing of that kind and
had received no offers. He left by
plane for the East shortly after
ward.
Cummings Resignation Expected.
When the President disclosed Mr..
Cummings intention to quit, he said
the tall. genial Attorney General
had been submitting his resignation
periodically since 1885 because of
desire to resume private life. His
home is at Stamford, Conn.
AS cabinet member, he has
piloted the administration through
stormy years of court litigation,
suffering some major reverses as
we'll as some notable triumphs.

Eight varieties of wheat and
eight varieties of barley are in

There are 16 varieties of flax on
this station plots including one
variety of fibre flax, which, ac-
cording to the superintendent, will
probably never be used in the val
ley.
Fibre flax is grown in Oregon
and some parts of Michigan but
valley farmers cannot afford to
grow fibre flax in the valley when
it is easier to grow the more pro-
fitable flax.
Not only does the punjab flax
bring more money than the fibre
flax. Goar pointed out, but the
punjab nlaX actually grows better
in the valley. Weather conditions
il the valley are not all that can
be desired for fibre flax.

grandfatherS worked in the mines
before them. When the CIO, some
months ago, sought to call a strike
at the Ml1rchie mine, the vast
majority of the miners voted C
stay on the job Since that time
according to the miners. they have
been subjected to threats and Will
fication in a mimeographed paper
circulated by CIO organizers
There were sluggings and beating,
and it had become dangerous fol
the men to go to their work, ex-
cept in groups, or with escorts.
1t was in revolt against such
conditions, according to the people
of Grass Valley and Nevada City
that the miners were goaded into
action, broke up the picket linz
and drove the CIO organizers oul
OF the county.
There is strong evidence to indi-
cate that the CIO, in the Grass
Valley Nevada City incident, sim
ply started something it couldn't
finish. At the height of the battle
according to the sheriff, a cal
loaded with CIO reinforcements
armed with brass knuckles, black
jacks and firearms. was intercept
ed as it attempted to enter tire
county.
No community has the right to
expel members of the CIO or any
other union if they keep the peace
But it is equally true that no union
has the right to terrorize workmen
Or use illegal weapons to enforce
its demands.
The committee investigating the
situation undoubtedly will deter
mine that there was violence on
both sides. But if it is to render
a service of real value to Cali
fornia, it should determine wrere
the responsibility lies for the ser
les of incidents which led to the
conflict.
Rural California is vitally inter
ested in the outcome. The march
inland" already has been marked
by far too much violence. And
rural districts having watched the
spread of disorders and conditions
which border on anarchy in some
of California's larger cities, can
hardly be expected to welcome
"goon squads and beef squad"
bent ON extending their conquest
to the back country.

BY RALPH II. TAYLOR

Executive Secretary, Agricultural
Council of California;
A stale investigating committee,
appointed by Governor Merriam, is
conducting an inquiry into the
Murchie mine riots in Nevada
county, which eliminated in the
rout of CIO pickets and organizers
by enraged miners of the district.
1t is to be hoped that the inves
tigatioin will be thorough and un-
| biased and that the investigators
will dig into causes of the ructon
as we'll as the circumstances at
tending it,
Quite frequently those who have
been most contemptuous of the
law are the first to cry out for the
protection of the law when their
illegal or extra legal activities get
them into difficulties.
And the feeling is general in
Grass Valley and Nevada City,
where the trouble occurred, that
the miners went in the war-path
only after they had been subject
ed to prolonged and vicious
campaign of intimidation at the
hands of "goon squads" and radi-
cal agitators.
Violence doesn't excuse violence,
but sometimes it does explain it,.
Consequently any committee which
hopes to aid in checking the dis
astrous labor disturbances that
have become almost daily occur
rences in California should in
quire into cause as we'll as effect.
California agriculture. although
not directly involved in the Neva-
da county situation, will follow the
investigation with close interest,
for agriculture has had first-hand
experience with the strong arm
methods of the CIO and has a
definite, vital interest in whether
radical agitators are going to be
successful in raising the cry of
"vigilantes" every time their "goon
squads" and beef squads" are
beSted in battle.

Value of Drainage Explained
TOUR OUTLINE T
POSSIBILITIES
or AGRICULTURE

The value of proper irri-
cation and the necessity for
drainage in Imperial Valley
were pointed out to valley
farmers in two important
tours of experimental plots in the
county during the past week.
On Tuesday citrus growers of the
valley inspected several valley
ranches to discover that those or
chards which had used slow irriga-
ton and drainage had shown sue
cessful growth and production.
Wednesday alfalfa growers Wis
tied the j. d. Huston ranch near
Imperial to inspect three alfalfa
paintings. One planting, which
made use of subsoiling and ammo
Mum phosphate fertilizer, proved
the advantage of slow irrigation,
water penetration and regulated
fertilization.
At the start of the new year in
the valley farm bureau leaders OF
the county made soil reclamation
and drainage to combat the alkali
problem their principal objects of
accomplishment.
Thus the tours this week were
the first definite step in the battle
to conserve the agricultural re-
sources of the valley
Alkali brought into the valley
in the water from the Colorado river
has long presented problem to
valley farmers.
Steady use of the land soon saps
its fertility because the land be-
comes so saturated with salt that
it will not produce satisfactorily.
AS a result valley farmers realiz-
ed that some soution to the problem
must be worked out.
Drainage is the only weapon to
successfully combat the alkali prob
lem.
Slow irrigation will bring deep
water penetration and thus elimi-
nate a great deal of the alkali
menace but drainage is the only
means of attaining complete vie
tory.
Of course valley farmers could
struggle along for many years with
out taking these precautionary
steps but alkali-free land will pro-
duce almost double the crop that
the land in its present condition
will, extension specialists have ex-
planned.
Valley farmers want results. Past
records forecast victory.

Beet Specialist
Outlines 1888
AAA Program

Bert Smith, from the state Of
flee of the agriculture conservation
association, Thursday outlined beet
payments and requirements under
the 1888 program at meeting IN
the court house.
Smith pointed out that growers
must realize part of the money
they receive in benefit payments
comes from their own pocket IN
form of an excise tax.
The conservation official report
ed that the grower is taxed nearly
81 per ton on his beet crop and
receives approximately So per ton
in payments.
DR.. U. Carnser, from the state
department of agriculture outlin-
eel the type of beets which should
be planted in the valley in both
spring and fall.
