Saturdays vote was char

OutpOuring of genuine indi-

the people of Washington.
ut was magnificent" he
said, land it was not the vote
of propaganda. 1 have lived
here for 40 years; have been
president of the Board of
Trade three times and twice
president Of the Federation
Of Citizens Associations. In
addition 1 have been on the
Republican national commit
tee for Fl years. 1 think 1
am qualified to interpret the
vote of last Saturday.
Enthusiastically, in my
opinion, it shows up correctly
the wishes of the people of
the District of Columbia. No
body who saw the lines Of
people at the polls and knew
their representative charac-
ter could possibly put any
other Interpretation of Sat-
urday's pIebScite."

gratifying, as an expression COM
ing from the people to Congress
for control of local affairs.
Mrs. Charles S. Norris, secretary,
D. C. Congress, Parent-TeaCher

difference to me one way or the

Capitol St.: I hope the people get

F. d. Compton, 1000 Cathedral

whether it would be we'll for
Washington to have a vote and

Mrs. J. Dewitt, Of 1851 Six
teenth st. N. W.: In some re-
spects Washington should be
given a vote and representation
in Congress, but there are reasons
why believe a local vote would
not be the right thing for Wash
ington.
Mrs. Paul Smith, 1855 p St.:
I think we should be able to vote

L. A. CarrutherS, president, Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations:
The size of Saturdays vote is in
dicative of rejecting the will Of
the people, and the size of the vote
as. expressing the views in demand
for local suffrage and national
representation. I am very much
gratified with the results.
w. J. Tucker, secretary, Ana
costa Citizens Association: The
exceedingly large vote was in a
way surprise an dclearly demon
strated the demand for local self
government and national repre-
sentation is no idle gesture.
Theodore S. Grape, president,
Federation of Business Mems
Associations: The size of the vote
to my way of thinking was marve-
lous, and an indication that the
people of the District do want to
assume control of their local af-
fairs.
Charles M. Thomas, president Of
the Federation of Civic Associa-
tons: The serious manner in
which our people entered into the
referendum contradicts all the

of the District to assume control
over municipal affairs.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
TROUBLES OF THE COTTON GROWERS

Other policies of the present administration nave
contributed toward the situation which mas tue
textile mills of New England running at only 'o
to 55 per cent Of capacity and those Of the HouOl
at so to So per cent, after five years OF uhpFece-
dented government spending and other make-shli'
efforts to deal with the depression. But the 1uhaa-
mental cause of the administrations failure 10
bring about stable recovery has been its failure 70
carry into effect the declared purpose Of the DEM
oeratic party in its platform Of 1882 to make
drastic change" in the tariff rates Of the HaWey-
Smoot law. So far as cotton is concerned, the Ell
feet of this is seen in the circumstance that where
as foreign countries consumed less than l9,OOO'-
900 bales of cotton year prior to the DEPRESSION
of which 100000 bales was American cotton last
year they consumed about % 100000 bales OF cot
ton, of which only 100000 bales was American
cotton. More than 43 per cent of all the COTTON
consumed outside the United States used to De
American cotton. Last year less than 20 per cent
of the cotton consumed outside the United States
was American cotton. Can that situation be I'M
proved merely by reducing the production OF Amer
lean cotton? It cannot. It can only be aggravated
by such policy-Texas Weekly.

JUDGE AND JURY

DR.. Arthur {. Morgan, director Of the iva, has
made certain charges among which are these:
/. That his associates, Messrs. Lillienthal and
Harcourt, have used the power to outvote him on
the IVA board to juggle the figures of IVA eX-
penditures and make the cost Of power production
appear good deal smaller than it actually IS.
2. To turn around Immediately and give certain
power companies they like virtual monopoly on
the sale of this gOyernment-generated power.
8. To agree to pay Senator George Berry and
his associates an exorbtant price for marble de-
posts said to have been drowned" by Norris dam
and (says DR.. Morgan bought for a song in con-
temptation Of the iva development.
1t may be that not one of these charges is true
But they are made, and Dr. Morgan offers to rest
his case on an invest atm by the duly accredited
representatives Of tn pie, the Congress Of the
United States His associates, the contrary, want
him to resign and then have his allegations checked
by the Federal Trade commission. The president
of the United States has given his support to these
associates. And members Of the Federal Trade
commission are appointed by the president. Hence
an investigation of IVA by that agency would be
an investigation of presidential appointees by pres
idential appontees-Charlotte News

MOLE ON MORALITY

It's pretty hard to imagine our eminent preS-
dent squirming but if he read the remarks Repre-
sentative Hoffman Republican, Mich) passed on
Son James yesterday in the house. he must at least
have shifted around intentionally in his chair.
Mr. Hoffman said no about Jimmy than a
hundred other critics have said in print. The sum
of it was that Jimmy had made an exceedingly
good thing out Of his fathers occupancy Of the
White House. According to Mr.. Hoffman, he has
salted away half million dollars in the last four
years. Another estimate Of Jimmy's earning capac-
ity at 80 is that he has accumulated half million
and is the richest member Of the family with the
exception of his paternal grandmother.
But the telling part of Mr.. Hoffman'S structure
was that he introduced Jimmys annual enrichment
during debate on making public salaries over
$4,000 drawn by corporation officers. A day or
so before the president had said that it was sim
pie morality" to let the public in on such informa-
ton. Mr.. Hoffmans point: that if it was simple
morality to announce salaries of $4,000 and over,
it was highly immoral not to let everybody know
exactly what Jimmy dragging down. There
may be flaw in his reasoning, but we haven't
been able to discover it yet.-Charlotte News

ALBERTA SOCIAL CREDIT

The supreme court of Canada has dealt the death
blow to the fantastic social credit scheme OF Pre-
mer Aberhart of the province of Alberta. The rul-
ing against the Alberta system was unanimous and
declared that legislation enacted last year to carry
on the plan was unconstitutional The Alberta gov
eminent has the right of appeal to the privy coun-
Gil in London, but it is believed that body will not
interfere with the decision of the Canadian court.
William Aberhart was a school teacher in Al
berta who conceived the plan of issuing $40 each
month to every resident. His theory was that the
money placed in circulation would stimulate all
business and bring great prosperity to the province
1t was somewhat similar to the Townsend old-age
pension plan, which reached state OF remarkable
initiation before it was punctured by American
common sense.
The Aberhart plan seems to be on its way out
With its disappearance will go the dreamers who
backed it. With their going one of the Dominion
richest provinces will be restored to ''normacy." =

seemed discouraging. A new at

For a chart Of unemployment,
some of the most outstanding
Government economists prefer the
one worked out by the Committee
on Economic Security, which
made the studies preliminary to
passage of the Social Security Act.
They have continued to route the
curve of employment from. the
point where the committee left off
and have kept it UP to date.
This chart shows a high mark
tof 100000 unemployed in 1888.
Last September the number had
decreased to below 100000.
It's too early to tell yet, but
some of the best guesSers agree
that the chart may soon indicate
rearly 100000 unemployed at
the first of March. Economists
who follow the chart most closely
doubt that the curve will 60

cultural employment is about to
