1t was colorful and gay crowd
that rode the snow train to Deer
Valley Sunday. Many were bright
in the brilliant hues of red, green
and yellow regulation ski clothes,
but the costumes ran the gamut
from these to one happy individual
of middle age who must be a
Scotchman of the old school. He
wore a pair of corduroy shorts, and
the space between the spot where
the shorts ended and a pair of
high boots began was occupied by
his bare knees. He didn't seem to
mind the cold, and apparently en-
joyed obliging the Times photogra-
pher who snapped his picture with
his wife.

many with their own sleds, on

SURPLUS BLOCKS
VA.TAXINCREASE.
TO MEET BUDGET
Assembly Marks Time
Pending Inaugural
BY GEORGE MASON GREEN

BY GEORGE MASON GREEN
RICHMOND, Va, Jan. II.
Virginia's legislators returned to
the State capital today after a
tWoday rest, ready to start the
second week of the 1888 General
Assembly.
With more than so bills intro
duced in the two branches Of the
session last week, and all COM
mittees in both the house and
senate organized, the lawmakers
are expected to do nothing more
than introduce additional legis-
1ation and hold committee hear
ings until the new governor is
inaugurated Wednesday.
ARGUMENTS DELAYED
Although many of the bills
thrown in the house and senate
hopperS between the opening ses-
sion Wednesday and the adjourn
ment Friday, are of utmost i'm
portance. the legislators are with
holding all floor arguments until
GoVernor-elect James H. Price
takes over the office of retiring
Gov. George c. Peery.
Faced with the largest budget in
the history of the State, nearly
1854 100000 for the biennium be-
ginning July l. 1898, the legisla-
tors are still at loss to know how
the much-demanded old age bene-
fit plan can be financed. No pro.
vision was made in the huge
budget for this legislation.
ADDRESS AWAITED
Consequently, the lawmakers are
awaiting with great anxiety the
first address of the new governor.
Mr.. Price, pointing to the sur
plus now in the State treasury of
more than $4,000, 900, has said that
no additional tax measures would
be required to carry out the States
needed legislation.
In view of the Statewide de-
mand for not only the old-ageI
benefit legislation, but also for a
school program, the two of which
would require nearly 100000
annually, members of the assem-
bly, are wondering just what the
new governor intends to do about
the two proposals.
Unless some legislation to bring
In this large amount of additional
revenue is recommended by the in
coming governor, leaders in both
houses point out, then the two
bills must be dropped, or the ten
tative budget submitted by Cover
nor Peery must be cut to allow
appropriations for the measures.
SCHOOL PROGRAM PUSHED
With two parts of a three-point
school program already intro
duced, and the third scheduled to
be presented early this week, still
another measure requiring more
funds for schools was being
drafted for early introduction this
week, it was learned here today.
Latest of the school-aid meas
ures, it was revealed, would pro.
hibit by State law the fees asked
of pupils by local school boards
In some parts of the State.
Already backed by the State De-
partment of Education, this meas
re would NOT prohibit the fees
asked of schools who enroll pu-
pills from other counties in which
adequate school facilities are avail
able, but would eliminate fees
charged for certain studies and
materials

too much knowledge of existing die
tatorships to make me desire any
form Of dictatorship for America. "
Publication Of that statement con-
vinced hundreds of thousands Of
persons that Mr.. Roosevelt could be
a dictator under 1t. They deluged
house members with kilograms, let
tiers, telephone calls, personal calls.
The pressure was terrific, although
in the morning of the day the bill
was killed, doubt there were twen-
ty men in the house who believed
the measure would be sent back to
committee for burial. They hoped
to emasculate it, but they did not
believe they could destroy it COM
pletely.
Now, as to a further reason why I
believe the Presidents denial of q
dictatorship desire proved his own
undoing. I quote here a paragraph
of a statement made on the floor of
the house by Representative Bar
ton of New York ian advertising ex-
ecutive in private life):
Mr.. Speaker, one of the first les
sons learned in advertising was
taught me by the head of great
concedn manufacturing radiators.
He said to me: Never advertise
that our radiators do not leak. I
do not want the word, leak, or the
idea of leaking associated in the
public mind with our product in

any way" Mr.. Speaker, night be-
fore last a certain gentleman got
up in the middle of the night to as
sociate the words, dictator and die
tatorship, with his name, thereby
putting those words into the minds
of 10000, 900 people, many of whom
may never have thought of them
before. I do not know much about
political strategy, but I do know
that this national advertisement OF
an idea of dictatorship, like his use
of the word, purchase, and his use
of the word, feudalism, was bad adj
vertising practice" ..-
And there you have the complete
answer. It was the greatest politi-
cal mistake Mr.. Roosevelt has
made, greater even than submission
of the bill to appoint six new menu
bers of the Supreme court. When
he mentioned dictatorship, mil
lions of Americans, proud of Ameri-
ca, its traditions and its heritages,

lieve We shall see reprisals against
many of them; I believe, too, we will
see some who voted against the re-

for presidential favors in order to
gain reelection, and I think we saw
in the reorganization bill defeat, the
beginning of the end of the New
Deal in control of American nation

commerce commission under polit-
ical control. That would provide
political control OF the railroads
and railroad rates. Politicians have
wanted to get fingers in that pie
for half century. Outbursts
against that were terrific and 1t was
eliminated. Provisions which would
have permitted political control Of
the securities and exchange COM
mission also were sidetracked. But
there remained provisions which
would have destroyed the general
accounting office and the civil ser
vice commission. The first named
agency decides whether COMPRESSION
al appropriations have been spent
or are being spent according to law.
The second has been the defender
of the merit system in government.
It has fought off political spoilsmen
successfully until recent years.
Had these two provisions remain
ed in the bill and if it had passed
congress, Mr.. Roosevelt. or any sue
ceeding President, would have had
direct control of spending billions
of dollars, ordinary government ex-
penses, relief, public works, grants
to cities and states-all of the
money. And reference must be made
to political appointments for the
of this money because

Others spoke as frankly.
Then the Storm Broke
The congressional, record for that
day contained several emphatic OBJ
servations to the effect that Mr.
Roosevelt was treading closely to
the edge of constitutional rights. The
Constitution, it will be recalled,
assures the right of petition It says
that congress must make no law
that will interfere with the right of
petitioning the government. III
. That was just a furry, however,
when compared with that storm
which was to break next day. Ac-
cording to authenticated reports,
Mr.. Roosevelt informed the CORES
pondents in his party at Warm
Springs that we would have an i'm
portant announcement to make very
late that night. They were enjoined
to say nothing; they were not to let
their home offices know that an i'm
