Two Senators Roll Back the Years

Seldom does the United States senate provide more
moving and impressive drama than that which was on dis
play when Senator'S Norris and La Toilette debated the
merits of the La Toilette referendum proposal.
To listen to it 60 back to the spring of 1917
when handful Of senator's fought bitterly to avert dec
1aration of war with Germany
One Of that handful Senator Robert M. La Toilette
Of Wisconsfather of the senator who trying to
write into the neutrality act provision for nationwide
advisory election to precede vote foreign war;
Another was Senator George w. Norris of Nebraska
The same Norris who having stood shoulder to shoulder
with the elder La Toilette in 1917 and endured the oboquy
that was visited on the little group of wfu men, was
now opposing the younger La Foette's motion.
There was Senator La Follette-who remembered the
trying days Of 1917 when his father fought unsuccessuy
against war; and who arguing that If the people
could vote first there would be much less likelihood that
the Congress would declare Recalling that
in American history has Congress refused to declare
war when president asked it to, he cried:
Congress has only the power to write approval across
foreign policy of chief executive when that has finally
eliminated in demand by the executive that vote
declaration of Then, Mr. President find from my
brief experience that it writes with cheers mixed with
ephets howls of derson against those few who
may oppose the resolution declaring a state of war;
La Toilette would know about those 'iepthets and
hows of derision." But would Norris. And few
moments later Norris rose-to recall that in the spring of
1917 from the voters themselves which put
the declaration of war through Congress
"When the blood of my countrymen and the lives of
and at stake and in my hands," Norris said,
"even if every man, and child up masse
and said We want you to vote for declaration of war;
# believed in my heart that declaration of would be
wrong would vote against it. did that once and am
ready to do it again."
In the end of course the La Toilette resolution
voted down. But its consideration had given the senate

their memory the things that had to be endured by those
who voted against % years ago. applying themselves to
measure designed to meet just such situation
in April Of LELAND in the end, coming out on opposite
sides.

PULSE OF THE PUBLIC

Received a letter, very vague
and full of excuses but nothing
to the point.
1 am attaching his letter to
reprint and let the public judge
its merits. ZEPH FAUST.
5204 So. Thompson ave.
COFFEE EXPLAINS
Following is Congressman
Coffee's reply to Mr.. Faust
Ed
Mr.. Zeph Faust,
1904 So. Thompson ave-,
Tacoma, Washington.
My dear Mr.. Faust: Evidently
you misinterpreted the purport
of the article which was issued
by the Liberal bloc. I make no
brief for communism any more
than nazism or any other group
of that kind. / do insist that to
all American citizens should be
accorded the rights guaranteed
to them under the constitution.
Hence, I regret that you have
construed the statement of the
Liberal bloc of the house Of rep
resentatives as being a brief of
endorsement of that crowd. am
sorry that you have formed this
conclusion, and want you to ac-
cept my statement in this letter
as an absolute and categorical
denial of any affiliation with or
sympathy for the Communist
party in the same way that de-
nounce any organization the pur-
pose OF which is contrary to the
principles of the American gov
eminent.
However. regardless of how
one feels about groups and in
dividuals and their ideas and
philosophy, under the constitu-
ton and our Bill Of Rights all
people are entitled to a day in
court and the accused, under our
immemorial system, must be
held innocent until proven guilty,
and in any hearings before COM
mittees such people should be
granted the same opportunity to
defend themselves, and accorded
the same protection as to citizens
of any particular group. Failing
TO do this. We make ourselves
guilty of the very conduct we are
so prone to condemn in others.
Very cordially yours,
JOHN NJ. COFFEE.

Editor, The Times: In the
leading article in November
Readers Digest, William Hard,
veteran Washington correspon-
dent and lecturer on economics
and politics, makes revealing
comparisons of building costs in
Cleveland and Los Angeles, In
support OF his contention that
building activity varies inversely
with building costs. Selecting
Cleveland as highly unionized
city, and Los Angeles as an open
market, in which cities a brick
layer, for example, gets $1.65
and 81 per hour respectively, Mr..
Hard compares the cost of a
standardized six-room house as
follows:
Materials for that house in
Los Angeles cost S3.1s5; in
Cleveland, $3,32s; a difference
of SLAB, or four per cent. Labor
for that house in Los Angeles
costs 81 sos; in Cleveland, 81, $50;
a difference of 1852, or 80 per-
cent. Materials and labor to-
gether cost in Los Angeles
S4,793 and in Cleveland $685.
a total difference of $685."
Then Mr.. Hard further OBJ
serves: Cleveland has plenty Of
bad residential housing. It needs
new housing probably more than
Los Angeles. But observe:
Since 1885. Cleveland has built
only 143 residential housing units
per 100000 of population. Los
Angeles has built 2,056. II has
out-built Cleveland approximate
ly IA times. Let us put that
fact another way: The Los An
geles bricklayer has had IA
times as much work as the
Cleveland bricklayer. While the
Cleveland bricklayer has been
getting one hour Of work and
earning S1.65, the Los Angeles
bricklayer has been getting IA
hours OF work and lat 81 an
hour earning s14. Which is
better off?
The proved statistical fact is
that the building trades work.
men Of Cleveland have collective
ly bargained themselves into un-
employment and restitution. As
Mr.. Lekrone regretfully says.
building trades workmen in
Cleveland are paid more per hour
and less per year-than in al
most any other big city in
America.
Do we seek Clevelands goal
for Tacoma? Or can we find a
program which will bring pros
perity through building con-
struction and a decent annual in
come to our building tradesmen :?

HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER II

Adverse planetary aspects rule
today. Pause to take account
of your business and social as
sets. The morning may bring
perplexities to merchants who
will discover unusual conditions
affecting holiday trade. The
stars encourage irritability, and
engagements may be prevalent
among business associates.
Heart and Home: This is not
a fortunate day for women who
should devote themselves to I'M
important household or social
matters. The cost of living will
rise and wise families will find
that small towns and country
places are most favorable to
domestic serenity. The west will
attract many settlers who seek
Ravens in villages or cities. but
not upon farms or ranches in the
great open spaces.
Business Affairs: Prosperity
will advance in the next few
months. Economies in certain
industries will be necessary. but
there should be increased en-
ployment Of young persons. well
educated and wisely trained.
Motion picture producers will
suffer heavy losses, but they
will contribute epoch-making
newsreels that set a high stand
ard of achievement. Photograph
ers will be heroes on many a
battle front.
National Issues: Changes in
the presidents cabinet are again
forecast. New figures will APP
pear within the circle of national
counselors. A woman is to gain
prominence through her part in
a humanitarian movement. The
death OF = distinguished states
man is prognosticated.
International Affairs: AL
though there is every reason for
Hitler to desire the United
States 10 remain neutral. seri-
Gus provocations may be suffer-
ed by this country. A secret
invention or an especially dia-
bolic method Of destroying life
Is to be introduced by Germany.
Persons whose birthdate It is
have the augury of a year Of
perplexities. II is well TO avoid
quarrels big and little. Risks in
travel should be avoided.
Children born on this day may
be exceedingly bright. but OF
puzzling character. They may
be high-tempered and very stub
born.

There are dealers in cars who
apparently xpect TO make
money driving cars west, but
they caravan them--each driver
brings back two cars, towing
one. An individual must figure
his profit mainly in the pleasure
he gets out of the trip, since
the difference in cost here and
In the east is only the difference
In freight. II you reason 1t out
to your own satisfaction, you
can make that freight difference
pay half of the cost Of your
trip.
Most persons doing that, how
ever. buy through local dealers
and merely take delivery at the
factory. Buying back there
would lay the purchaser open to
any sales tax the eastern state
may have, the cost Of its
license fee usually much high
err than here) and also also this
states compensating tax of two
per cent and license fee.
