EDW. P. COSTICAN
FORESAW MUCH
OF new DEAL

Washington, d. G. (ILNS).-For-
mer Senator Edward p. Costigan is
dead at the age of SO. He was the
greatest public servant that Colorado
ever gave to the nation; and | think
/ know them all.
Born in Virginia, with an Irish fa-
ther and Spanish mother, except for
his happy humor, Costigan inclined to
the Spanish side. He was raised in
Colorado, graduated from Harvard,
came back to Colorado to live. Den
yer was then city which had taken
the Philadelphia plan of voting, under
which, in police ruled precincts, from
so to 400 ballots were marked and the
poll books written up for the same
before election day. Since it is hard
to get long list of fictitious names
that sound natural, one inspired phi
lanthropist copied the names from
Denver's cemeteries; and was known,
as long as | was there, as Graveyard
Johnny" Denver, when Costigan
came to citizens estate, was pretty
well owned by the public utilities; and
the city owner shared ownership of
the state with mining companies and
railroads.
Championed Mine Strikers
Costigan enlisted for the war when
reform was war; and never laid down
his weapons to the end. He was chief
organizer and attorney for the Denver
| Honest Election League, president of
the Denver Civil Service Reform AS
sociation, member of the Direct Pri-
mary and Direct Legislation Leagues.
| They got results.
One of the greatest works of his
genius was that for the miners of Col
orado; and they haven't forgotten it.
When miners struck in the southern
Colorado coal fields, they had to go
into tent colonies; for the company
owned the shacks in which they lived
while they worked. On April 20, 1914,
the tent colony of Ludlow was attacked
and burned by company guards who
had been taken into the militia, and
three men, two women and IL children
murdered.
In the report which he wrote for the
Congressional committee that probed
the Ludlow massacre, Costigan de-
manded full recognition of labor's
right to organize and compulsory col
lective bargaining; prohibition of
guards, gunner, private detectives,
weapons or munitions being carried in
interstate commerce during or in prep
aration for strike; federal licensing
for all corporations affecting inter
state commerce; and:
"The prohibition of interlocking di-
rectorates and of dummy directors for
! corporations engaged in interstate
commerce, WITH SEVERE PER-
SONAL PENALTIES ATTACHING
TO INDIVIDUAL OFFICERS FOR
CORPORATE VIOLATIONS OF
LAW"
In other words, Costigan, in 1914,
foresaw the need of half the New
Deal, and of some things the New
Deal hsan't got to yet. This is scarcely
a 1.-THE of his doings; ali were good;
many of them truly great-G. l.. K.

Milo Theatre To Show
NCOnfessiOns OF A
Nazi Spy" Next Week

Confessions of a Nazi Spy, the
Warner Bros. film dealing with Nazi
espionage activities in this country is
scheduled to be shown at The Milo
Theatre, in Rockville, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, June 81, % and
23rd. This is the much-awaited film
which has been subject of wide in
terest ever since Warner Bros. started
the production of it, the first really
important motion picture document of
Nazi espionage activities in America.
Anatole Litvak directed the film,
which stars Edward G. Robinson, and
a. brilliant supporting cast including
Paul Lukas, Francis Lederer, Lya Lys
famous European film beauty max
ing her American debut-and many
others.
Although the particular characters
and events are fictional, the espionage
methods revealed in the film are based
on the facts brought out in the recent
trials in New York, Los Angeles and
the Panama Canal, zone. Leon G.
Turrou, former F. B. I. agent, who
acted as technical advisor on the
Warner Bros. photoplay, smashed one
of the Nazi spy rings, and his init
mate knowledge of the manner in
which the spies operate have given
reality and authenticity to the pro-
duction.

Good Farm Land
Still In Demand
In This County
First Months OF Year
Show Gain In Farm Loans
Over 1888 In County

Interest in purchasing good farm
land as a secure investment is on the
increase, according to the increase in
loans made to farmers through the
Federal Land Bank system for this
purpose, says Talmadge L. Watkins,
secretary-treasurer of the Western
Maryland National Farm Loan Asso-
cation, which is the local unit of the
system that serves Montgomery
County.
In the first four months of this year
more loans were made 20 farmers to
purchase farm land than in the same
period last year, Mr.. Watkins said
Loans for other purposes = such as
to provide working capital, refnance
debts at lower rate of interest and
on more convenient. terms, and to
finance permanent farm improve
ments = were also made during this
period to established farmers.
In the first quarter of this year the
land bank system disposed of las
farms that it has been forced to ac-
quire. Mr.. Watkins said that the land
banks are in the lending and not the
real estate business, and the farms
that have to be taken over are re-
turned to private ownership as quick
ly as possible.
Farmers in Montgomery County
continue to keep faith with their agri-
cultural resources, judging from their
investment in the land, Mr.. Watkins
said.
At the end of 1888 farmers in this
county had 1886 loans outstanding that
were obtained through the coopera
tive land bank system, aggregating
s1,510,800.
In recent years, he said, much OF
the money loaned by the local asso-
citation has been used to purchase
farm land, which shows that people
still have confidence in the farm land
of this area as source of sound in
vestment. Many farmers have been
able to borrow enough money to ado
to what they already had and to pay
cash for farm, and have a home on
it and work it while it is being paid
for.
1sL.
Other farmers have used borrowed
money to refnance their farm debts
at lower interest rates and on more
convenient terms, while still others
use the money as operating capital OF
to finance permanent farm improve.
ments such as terracing, building and
fencing. All of these activities are
an expression of faith in the agricul-
ture of this county, declared Mr.
Watkins.
