BY POPEtDEFEAT IDAHO
ADMINISTRATION JOLTED
But OriO and Arkansas Results
Cheer; Republicans Hail Rep.
Clark's Victory as Setback for
Ne Deal

Washington Aug 10 = The
defeat of, Sen. James P. Pope
administration stalwart by g
conservative Democrat in the
Idaho primary cheered Republi.
can leaders today.
John Hamilton, the COP,
national chairman, said in q
statement that another re
pudlation by American voters
OF President Roosevelt's demand
Tor the election h is year of
yes men" subservient to his
Will. Rep. d. Worth Clark,
Pope's successful opponent call
e himself a conservative and told
the voters he would be no admit
nistration yes man.
Aside from the Pope defeat
Tuesdays senatorial primaries
gave administration supporters
ause for qualification. Two pro
Administrative senators, Robert
y. Buckley Cd. Ohio) and Hattie
w. Caraway Cd. Ark.) won re-
nomination.
Hamilton asserted that Pope's
defeat was "the most stunning
blow the New Deal has SO far
received" and said:
Instead of spending his time
in the south seeking the defeat
OF senators of independence and
courage, the president had
better hurry to the assistance
of his yes men in other parts of
the country"
For the most part, admins
tration supporters were silent.
Sen. Logan, Cd. KY said, how
ever, that it should be recalled
that it was ''the first time any
member Of congress had been
defeated this year simply be-
cause he stood on a New Deal
issue" In no other contest in
which administration supporters
have lost has the new deal been
a principle cause, he said.
The Kentucky senator assert
ed that Pope's defeat di not in
dictate the president has lost any
popularity.
Senator Holt d., W.Va.), a
frequent administration critic
said the results showed h a t
Idaho voters wanted man who
can say ether yes or no.

SO, 462, 600 tons of coal, or a diff
ference of 23,5l2.OQO tons. THIS
WAS SINCETHE PASSAGE OF
THE GUFFEY COAL BILL.
T h lis means The miners are
not working. ! According to a
government survey as to the
wages spent in mining coal, this
meant a loss to the miners of
West Virginia Of over $25. 0OO.-
100000. / again call your at
tention to my statement of Aug.
1886. 10
Now, Jet us look at the cost
of the Gaffey Coal Commission.
Over 1900 persons are on that
pay roll, having to spend So, 600,-
600 during the last fiscal year.
Besides this we have the district
boards and their staff spending
millions more. spoke on the
floor of the Senate about this
tremendous cost of the Coal Com
mission. The speech will be sent
to you free if you will write me
a postal card or letter at Wash
ington, D. G. 1t will show you
the facts on the Coal Commits
sion 1t will show you how
money is being wasted while
the miners are unemployed.
l want to quote from my
speech on the Coal Commission,
April 6, 1888, in the United
States Senate.
Il know that the miner, for
whom the bill was supposed to
be passed, is still getting the
same wage scale he got before
1t was passed. If there has been
any particular increase, it has
been to someone else than the
miner, w h m many Senators
love so deeply.
Nevertheless, I think it
might be interesting to check
how the Commission was organi
Zed. Of course, we realize that
the Commission was organized
entirely upon a political basis.
! think it might be worthwhile
to read to the Senate the salaries
of these employees, and show
how many of them are on the
Coal Commissions pay roll. This
is part of the amount for which
we are asked to increase the
appropriation.
1--WE find that seven receive
$4,000 a year. there are three
at $4,000; t h esr e are four at
$4,000; there ia one at $500;
there is one at $1,000; there are
five at $4,000; there are ten at
$500; there are four at $500
there are thirteen at $4,000;

1t usually takes the germs of tul-

illness, and then the patient will run
a high fever, accompanied by mus

persist for two or three weeks, and

In a long, soundly reasoned edi

the South which is broadly called
1.-THE iva area" has this to say:
Private producers OF electricity, in
fixing rates, must do so in anticipa-
tion of remaining solvent. Annual
deficits would soon break them. The
actual cost Of production must nee
essarily be taken into consideration.
Not the least of these costs is tax
alton. Even the land at the bottom
of their storage lakes is not so deep
ly immersed as to escape notice of
the tax assessors. The iva, of
course, pays no taxes. II is a Fed
eral corporation. A stable credit is
thus acquired on its books. But. in
bookkeeping, where there is a credit
there must also be, debit. The deb
il, in this case, is to be found in the
tax records Of local communities
and counties.
1T is suspected that iva is sell
ing power without any definite idea
as to its cost; that in making the
ALLEGATION Of 50 per cent of the cost
to power 1t sought to'fit the cost of
production to the rates rather than
the rates to the cost of production.
In private industry such a proceed
ure would lead to bankruptcy. BY
the same method of appraisal as is
usually accorded private utilities.

ing state of Obsolescence. Yet the
American people are being asked TO
pour additional hundreds of millions
of dollars into six similar 'provin- !
ces' in a scheme to embrace the ma

The menace OF. the iva is not lin
tied to its cut-throat. tax-free, tax

ly taxed, stringently regulated pri-
gate utilities. Extend the principal

Don't Dodge The Facts

At the railway wage negotiations
being carried on in Chicago, spokes-
men for railway management point
ed to various lines which are I'M
able to earn their operating costs,
as evidence of the need for reduce
ing expenses. Spokesman for rail-
way labor denied that these cases
were at all typical of the industry.
Unfortunately, much as everyone
would like to see the railroads pros
per, the statistics painta dismal pic
ture. During the first five months of
this year, about 60 Glass railroads,
operating more than one-half of the
cOuntry's mileage, failed to earn
enough to cover their operating eX-
penses and taxes. Not all of them
are yet in the hands of receivers
a number have assets, built up in
good times in the past, which they
are drawing upon to meet their cur
rent deficits. This, however. is only
a temporary palliative, and is GER
tainly not cure. AS the assets are
dispersed, more and more lines will
be forced to petition the bankrupt
cy courts for relief.
1t should be continuously pointed
out that the railroads have request
ed wage decreases, not as a matter
of choice but as a matter of necess-
ity. Wages are now at their all
time record high. Railroad operat-
ing expense has been pared to the
bone in every possible direction-as
government reports amply testify.
This is the situation that con-

LOOK BEFORE LEAprnG,

Mass distribution is here to stay
Make no mistake about that. One
hundred and thirty million peoule
cannot be fed, clothed and housed by
the same methods that were used in
this country a hundred years ago.
Reasonable prices and smooth func-
tioning efficiency are essential. And
these are the keystones of mass dis
tribution. Do away with il and you
will bring about lower standard of
living. These are facts that no
amount of political ballyhoo can
change.
Chain stores are synonymous with
lmass distribution-at the moment.
However, If the chain stores should
be legislated or taxed out of exis-
tence through the efforts OF short
sighted competitors and over-zealous
politicians, mass distribution will
promptly appear in some other form.
And the chances are that it will ap-
pear in a form even less palatable
to the inefficient merchandiser, than
the chain store. D. NJ. Nelson, Vice
President of Sears, Roebuck and
Company, has pointed out that
'"chain stores can be annihilated
through taxation, but getting rid of
them might-even from the stand
point of the small retailer-be like
contracting double pneumonia in or
der to get rid Of a bad cold"
Proponents of discriminatory tax
alton of the chains should follow the
old adage of look before you leap"
They should realize that destroying
the chain stores will not destroy
mass distribution. Even now mass
distribution is growing in such forms
as nOn-prOfit consumer cooperatives'
which discourage private enterprise
and are deadly to the small indepen-
dent merchant.
