Special Election
On Bond Issue

One of the most important elections
in this city in many day will be
held Tuesday, August 8, when resi-
dents will vote on proposed $4,000
bond issue, for the purpose of improv-
ing the water system.
Should the proposition receive an
affirmative majority, the council will
offer bonds for sale. The bonds would
be pad back at the rate Of $1,000 a
year for the fir three years (begin-
ming in 194D, and from then until
Gquidated they would be repaid at the
rate of $4,000 year, the final pay
ment being in 1869.
Payment Of the bonds would be
made entirely from revenues derived
from the water system. Interest on
the principal would not exceed six
per cent.
improvements would include tie
enclosing with concrete retaining
wall, of the springs which supplies
water for this community. Mains
would be replaced with 10 inch cast
iron pipe. A number of new fire hy-
drants would also be installed.
During the summer months of the
past few years here has been an a.
cute shortage Of water in Coulee City,
and water restrictions have been nee
essary to keep the town supplied. The
need for an improved system is pretty
generally recognized. and it is believ.
ed the election will carry an affirma-
tive majority by substantial margin.
Serving on the election board will
be Miss Thelma Pugh. G. D. Whipple
and Florence Purcell.

TANNING THE MoRos

In many years of campaigning all
over the globe, the U. s. Marines new
er met more cunning or implacable
Zee than the Moros. the fierce fighting
men who live in the islands Of the
southern Philippines. They were the
last to submit to American authority
during the insurrection in that coun
try at the turn of the century.
During the final months Of the cam
PaIgn, an army company occupied i,
i'Gtiye village in Samar. The apparent
submission Of the natives led the SOL
diers to become less watchful. The
Moros bided their tine until, through
ruse, they turned on the Americans
and almost annihilated them.
Following the massacre battalion
of .. S. Marines came from the princi.
pal island of Luzon to aid in bringing
the rebellious Moros to terms. Combats
patrols made several successful raids
and the insurrectos were gradually driv
en- back to where they had prepared a
series of fortified cliffs along the

Stealthily the marines approached

hard on their heels. Camp after camp

It was the last rallying place Of

at the White House in recent wears.
His first cousin, Elliott Roosevelt, ir.,
was christened there two years ago.
Franklin the Third apparently was
well behaved, since a White House
usher described the event as very
quiet" Mrs. Roosevelt, a doting
grandmother, had described the
baby as sturdy, well-built little
fellow, who doesn't cry often but
who looks pretty solemn except for
occasional grins.

the matter was finally disposed Of -
Earlier, Senator King had told
the subcommittee, "This is a de-
mocracy and any one who wishes
to be heard should be given the right
to testify"
Quiz OH Court Bill Wanted.
Before DR.. Frankfurter telephoned
Senator Nicely, several subcommittee
members had expressed privately
the hope that he would come because
they wished to ascertain his views
toward President Roosevelt's court
reorganization bill.
During the lengthy fight which
finally brought Senate rejection OF
the court measure in 1887, DR..
Frankfurter did not say publicly
what his opinion Of the measure
was, although many law professors
testified for or against it. In a
letter to a British newspaper, how
ever. the professor emphatically
denied authorship of the bill.
OF the nine subcommittee men,
bers, six opposed the court plan and
three favored 1t. Opponents were
Senators King, Democrat, of Utah;
McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada !:
Connally, Democrat, of Texas:
Borah. Republican, OF Idaho;
Austin, Republican, of Vermont and
McNary, Republican, of Oregon.
Favoring the proposal were Chair
man Nicely and Senators Hughes,
Democrat, of Delaware and Norris,
Independent, of Nebraska.
Hearing to Be Routine.
Senator Nicely said every one who
wished to testify on the nomination
would be given fair hearing. It
was expected. however, that the
hearing would be more or less
routine and would be followed
promptly by subcommittee recon-
mendation that DR.. Frankfurter
nomination be confirmed.
The full Judiciary Committee will
not act on the nomination before
January 16, when its first meeting
is tentatively scheduled.
Senator Norris. an ardent sup
porter of the Frankfurter appoint
ment. said he had no objection to
hearing on the nomination The
Nebraskan said he himself had re-
ceived requests that a hearing be
held, including one from the Massa-
