ASST APPEARS TO
Your Congressman
By John. r. Murdock

The English language, like
nature. is wonderful. Twice this
week | have had occasion to be
astonished at some of the English
which my colleagues have attempt
ed to write into legislation. One
new Congressman with a good
idea, wishing to prevent our pur-
chase of farm products abroad
such as may be and are produced
in this country, so worded his
language that it would have for
hidden our purchase of coffee and
bananas. AS another illustration
when the Townsend Bill was be
ing considered by the Rules Com
mittee on May 25, certain language
in the bill was held up to scorn be-
cause of its wording. Thus may
principles be overlooked and de-
tails of phrasing be given a dis
proportionate amount of considera-
ton. Yet law must be carefully
worded,
| believe, as we'll as hope. that
the four cent copper excise duty
will be extended. Every time
have spoken to members of the
Committee having the matter in
hand | have been assured that the
copper duty would be kept. How
ever, during the last few days
printed arguments and briefs have
been delivered by its opponents to
all members of the Ways and
Means Committee advocating the
repeal of this four cent per pound
duty. OF course We shall do all
within our power to thwart such
a move.
On May 25 the House Committee
on Miles and Mining voted to
postpone indefinitely the considera-
ton of a moratorium bill on min
ing claim assessment work. The
man who made the motion used
about these words: "In view Of the
fact that the Senate has indefinite
ly postponed consideration of a
companion bill some days ago. |
move that consideration of this
bill by this Committee be in
definitely postponed. and that a
subcommittee of this Committee
be appointed to consider legisla-
tion more helpful to prospectors
and distressed claim owners than
this bill could be If passed" This
motion recognized that the Senate
Mad already stopped it. The motion
carried, and a subcommittee of
three was appointed consisting of
Murdoch Of Arizona, Chairman
Peterson of Florida. and Lewis Of
Ohio. to propose the needed legis-
lation. Since most of these mem
bers are Fasteners, it falls upon
us Westerners to try to find some
help for class of our mining
population sadly needing It,. What
shall ii be
During the week just passed
the unprecedented Agricultural
appropriation bill, to which the
Senate added s225.0O0,000 for
parity payments on certain farm
crops and s113, 100000 for disposal
OF surplus agricultural commodities
aui some other items, which
caused the bill to surpass the
budget estimates by more than
S34o. 100000. was sent to Confer
ence. This means that its fate
was put in the hands of friendly
conferees, and 1t no doubt means
that the bill will pass with the
parity provision and the others.
This looks like a vict6ry for the
farmers.

CHAMPIONSHIP SKI RACES NOT TO BE
 RUN THIS SUNDAY
Hazardous Snow Condi- lions Force Postpone
 ment Till "Wednesday

Dangerous snow conditions in the form of hard, but breakable, crust blanketing the upper meadows, Sla- lom course and trails, has forced the postponement of the Southeast AL aska Championship Downhill and Slalom Ski Races, set for this Sum- day, it was announced today by the racing committee of the Junear Ski Club, in charge of the events.
 Conditions are almost impossible for slalom racing and are extremely hazardous for downhill racing, it was stated. Were the downhill event to be held, the racers would be forced so to check their speed that real competition would be taken out of the event.
 The running of the two events is now set tentatively for Wednesday Washington Birthday, but racing at that time is still dependant or at least light fall of new snow. The Moller Cup trail race and jumping championships are still set for Sum- day, February 26.

AMERICAN
 LEAGUE K
 TOUGH ONE
Jack Russell, Who H as Been Over Both Cir
 euits, Talks Out

CLEARWATER, Fla, Feb. 18.- Jack Russell, who's been about bit in both circuits, said today pitchers had a tougher time in the American League than in the National because the younger loop is home run con- scious."
 That was offered by the Chicago Cubs veteran relief hurler as pos sible explanation of the success of a number of so-called "old men" pitchers in the National League, but he hastened to add:
 Its tough getting the ball by the batters in both leagues"
 There. aren't so many sluggers of the Greenburg, Foxx and Gehrig type in the National League" ex- pounded Russell, here for his an- nual winter stay.
 And there's no getting around the fact that this is mighty com forting and eases a pitchers mind after he's spent twelve years tossing CHI uD lOl DdOC IbQtlA dliS liiC lCoO of the home run clouters of the American League
 Russell, who appeared in forty two games as a relief pitcher for the Cubs last year, winning six and losing one, is itching for start ing assignments.
 Relief pitching is all right" he said, but I really would live to get back as full-game worker. My arm never fetl better and I believe could go nine innings at top speed. ?
 The handsome Russell, who tow CTS an inch above six feet, is thirty two years old and appears younger. He keeps himself in the pink of condition playing golf almost every day.
