drifting rapidly today into a bitter
battle among themselves.
Split six ways over the guber-
material campaign, and unable to see
any immediate resolution Of their diff
ferences. opposing Democratic factions
indicated this week end they were
about ready to take off the gloves.
A new sentiment, seemingly Of mill
tant determination. swept the rival
camps The idea now, it appears, is
to turn on full pressure, blast out
weaker candidates as quickly as pos
sible, and reform party lines before
the September primaries.
From June / on. candidates plan to
wage no-quarter fight.

Jackson knows of any dishonorable

Mayor Jackson today stands ready
to support for reelection to the Leg

agree to take him for Governor" Mr..
Curran added. LET him call for
names and will name those whom
he has solicited"
Meanwhile, all was not harmony in
the Republican camp. Insurgent Re-
publicans called a meeting for this
week to pck a candidate who will OPP
pose Gov. Harry w. Nice-if Mr.. Nice
decides to run. He has not said. The
Republican discord, from the very fact
that fewer candidates are In the Held.

Gov. Nice has not been out OF
MARYLAND on q vacation since he went
to Los Angeles for two weeks as the
representative OF the Maryland Bar
Association at the American Bar As
sociation's convention: That was in
1885, shortly after he took office.
Twice I started down the bay on
the State yacht, but on both occa-

The Governor particularly likes
juvenile visitors On Junior Maryland
Day he swore in Nelson Edward Am

for . day. As the youth left, the Gov
ernor said:
Some people will say you have
been a better Governor In 10 minutes
than I have been in three and . halt
years."
The Governor, OF course. Is subject
to many requests fer contributions
to various enterprises and finds it
necessary to limit his donations r
charity. Gov. Nice said Mrs. Nice
sends a name card and a 81 handker-
chief to most organizations asking
for contribution. These small gifts,
he said, usually are raffled OF, making
a small profit for the organization
which received them.
AS Gov. Nice follows a policy, SC
far as possible, of remaining access.
ible to all callers. he frequently finds
several In his Office when mealtime
comes. He often invites them all to
lunch with him at the Government
House, and likes to have his invita-
ton accepted. knowing her husbands
flair for friendliness, Mrs. Nice usually
prepares for several extra persons.

ANTI-VIVISECTION UNDER
ANY OTHER NAME

We find two chief objections to Propos-
ition No. 2 on the Nov. ballot:
lit was framed with the obvious
intention of achieving one thing by SEEM
ing to strive for another.
2.-It would successfully outlaw man.
ufacture in California of many serums
and other remedies of value to livestock
and human beings alike.
This initiative measure would provide,
its heading says, for Regulation of
pounds" The brief explanatory note on
the ballot claims that it is intended to
define pounds and provide for their regu-
lation, and to prohibit surrender of un-
claimed animals from any public pound
for any experimental, medical, scientific,
demonstration or commercial purpose.
Parading under the title of humane
act, it is in effect an anti-vivisection pro-
posal. Such measure, under its proper
title was defeated by majority OF 49,
444 votes the last time it was submitted
to California voters.
If such law is to be passed on again,
we should like to see it under title that
tells its true purpose, not one that SEEM
ingly attempts to deceive.
By its rigid terms, Proposition No. 2,
if made into law, would make it virtual
lv impossible for anyone in California
to manufacture any one of numerous
serums used in treating livestock diseas-
es and human ills, because these serum
come from medical or scientific" use
of animals.
This reason alone is enough to create
in our mind a strong prejudice against
Proposition No. 2.

MONOPOLY In The NAME
OF SPORTSMANSHIP

Before the California legislature last
session a proposed law was presented
upon promotion of which thousands of
dollars was spent. The legislature did
not pass it.
Now the voters of California are asked
to pass it in the form of Proposition No.
on the ballot for Nov. 8. The PROPOSE
tion is described as one to prevent opera
tion in state waters of fishing boats
which deliver their catch outside the
state.
Proponents call it measure to pro-
tect game fish for spOrtsmen.
Close investigation seems to indicate
that it is in effect an effort to protect
the monopoly of certain interests within
the state on such products as oil, fish
meal and fertilizer derived from fish.
In recent years this monopoly has been
threatened by off-shore reduction plants.
Since this seems to be a purely business
fight between two factions, we see no
reason for voters to take a hand. Vote
No.

CURTSYING
TO QUEENS
{ Riverside PreSs)

(RiVerSide Press)
1t seems lately as if large part of
the cOuntry's brain power Is concen-
trated on the momentOus problem, Whe
ther the Presidents wife should curtsy
to Queen Elizabeth of England, if the
latter should come to visit her, or merely
bow.
Social authorities are divided over it
almost as much as were the people of
the nation told about in Gulliver's Tray
els, which split and fought over the ques-
ton whether an egg should be opened
at the big end or the little end.
Mrs. Roosevelt, however, sensibly
shelves the whole question by saying,
that if the queen comes, she will Just do
what the state department tells her to.
And that viii be that
If the departmental authorities are
baffled and pass the buck back to her,
she will probably treat the queen demo-
cratically like she would any other guest
and will get away with it, too.
The rest of Us might as we'll follow her
example We take social correctness
too seriously in this country anyway. The
British, whom we try to follow in such
matters, are not nearly so solemn about
it as we are.
Queen Elizabeth, we feel sure, will
meet our first lady half way in anything
she does. Both of them have far too
much good judgment and common sense
to create rift in the good feeling which
has obtained between the two English
speaking nations. The question of prece-
dence can be left to them, and the So
called social authorities would be bet
ter employed in other directions.

THE FUTILITT OF CRIME
(Nogales Herald)

Tracy Bird, NOgales city clerk, is dead
and Frank Conner a self-confessed mur-
derer, stands in the shadow of the lethal
gas chamber.
In a tragedy which Mortified the peo-
pie of the border, Bird was shot to death
in attempting to resist hold up early
Sunday morning.
According to his own confession Con-
ner, a Negro soldier, who is provided by
his government with all the comforts of
life, wanted some easy money" He de-
cided that the best way to get it was
to forcibly take it away from someone
else at the point of gun.
Bird and Conner CHANGED to meet.
There was quick scuffle, single shot,
and Bird fell dead "a bullet drilled
through his heart.
Conner is in jail with murder charge
hanging over him-a self-confessed slay-
er. Crime does not pay.
1t leaves naught but trail of horror,
misery and sorrow.
A life has been needleSsly snuffed out
just because another person wanted
something that did not belong to him.
Although Conner wore the uniform of
an American soldier he disgraced the
uniform and turned his back on a gov
ernment which provided for his every
need, in order to follow his criminal in
stinct.
Tracy Bird just happened to cross Con-
ner's path at fateful moment. It might
have been anyone else.
The struggle in the dark, the shot, the
tragedy and the subsequent surrender
shocked the state.
family is bereavpd
A city is sorrowed; a state is shocked
and glorious regiment is grieved
The sordid desire for easy money"
proved of no avail.
The futility of crime is too wildly por-
trayed.

erS and sisters. a quarrelSome lot,
jealous OF his superior gifts, drove
him away from home. But Leo
nardo forgave them; and in his
will. he left part of his estate
to his swiniSh brothers who had
begged money from him and then
condemned him and double crossed
and despised him.
Leonardo is famous for more di-
versified gifts than any other man
in history. Here is just a partial
list of the things he mastered. He
founded the science of engineering
and geology and the study of ana
tony He mastered geometry, made
maps. invented a diving bell and
swimming belt. He also invented
the military tank. roller. bearings,
the lowiy wheel barrow, made
drawings of airplanes driven by a
propeller over four hundred years
ago. He invented many kinds of
military machines and a cure for
seasickness. But wait, I have not
even mentioned the thing for which
he is really famous. He painted
two immortal pictures, two pictures
that shine across the turblent CEN
turies like brilliant stars and glor-
ify the treasure house of mankind.
Da Vinci's masterpiece, The Last
Supper" is the most famous pic
ture in the world; and his other
masterwork. the Mona Lisa"
hangs upon the walls OF the Louvre
in Paris where lovers of beauty
from every land stand before it
each day enthralled as tho it were
some holy shrine.
Leonardo da Vinci had several
qualities that you and 1 ought to
cultivate:
/. He had infinite patience. For
example, ne struggled for l6 years
to perfect an equestrian statue, and
never did finish it because his work
was finally destroyed by an in
vading army.
2. He had great tolerance. I'VE
have no right" he said, TO love
OF hate anything unless we have
q full knowledge of it," How often
90 we criticize and condemn people
and conditions about which We
have not full knowledge" We
don't have a really full knowledge
even of Ourselves0
3. He had the ability TO hold his
temper and forgive insults. Michael
Angelo, jealous of him, insulted
him in front of other people, but
Leonardo da Vinci merely smiled
at the impudence of youth and said
nothing" (Can we always smile
and say nothing when We are in
suited in front of others0
But with all his greatness and his
abiding fame, he missed one of the
most beautiful-perhaps the most
beautiful thing in life - the love
Of a woman. During all his life
he had very few friends, and none
Of them were women.

TUO-Price System :.
VIII 1t Work?
BY RODNEY BUTCHER


question asked about the proposed
two price" system. designed to
transfer farm surpluses to low in
come families at low prices is:
will il work-and how?'
The specter of huge subsidies
frightenS many. Those who have
thought about the theory longest
insist that in the case of some
products it can be worked out
with very little subsidy and in 9TH
er cases with none at all. Top ofil-
cials may decide otherwise.
Is the scheme "socialistic" be-
cause it means the government Will
enter the distribution system? That
depends on how it's run.
How can poor people be segre-
gated from others who will want to
buy at the lower prices?
How can competition with eX-
isting merchants and distributors
be avoided?
How about the fact that raw cot
ton and wheat, which can't be sold
to the poor direct. are but a small
part of the cost in finished cotton
goods and bread?
Hou could such a system be op-
Grated on a vast, national scale? b.
The two-price thinkers say, first,
that the principle should be ap-
piled wherever it can be shown the
poor would buy more OF a given
type of food or cheap clothing if
they had more money. On some
items, they think, it probably won't
work.
In cotton. with the government
holding 100000 bales, with crop
nearly twice consumption size and
with millions in need of cotton
goods, textile manufacturers will
be called in. The cost of process
ing, Secretary Wallace says, is
about twice the cost of raw cotton
and that of finished goods about
five times as much. The prevalent
i6ea is to furnish specifications and
ask bids on specific types of goods
which can be produced with econ
omy in large scale operations.
Cheap cotton cloth, mattresses,
towels, sheeting, overallS and work
shirts are suggested. Some subsidy
such as government contribution of
the raw cotton probably will be
planned.
Possibility is that cheap goods,
such as overall5 and work shirts,
can be dumped on the market
through regular commercial chan
nels with assurance that only the
poor will buy them. This is also
suggested for nutritive foods in less
attractive, cheaper but relatively
non competitive forms such as
dried eggs, dried milk and canned
fruit juices.
The tWo-price theory admittedly
becomes extremely difficult when
applied to wheat. Bread is a bais
food in low-income family diets.
The system is much more easily
applied to such products as milk,
butter, eggs, fruits, vegetables and
meats where there is no major
manufacturing problem such as
that in cotton. Specially licensed
markets run on wholesale lines,
with consumers coming to buy and
only one operation after the STUFF
arrives in town, might handle such
items of farm surplusage.
