THuRsDAY FEBRUARY 13 1930
Is THAT GRATITUDE?
IF Harry Lyons the big 'gravel and
gravy man is serious about run-
ning for county commissioner he most
certainly should not favor Grover Pen-
dleton with his opposition
That soft spot should go to Mike
Donnelly or J V Dobbs They are en-
titled to that break They should be
favored in return for the favors they
did Mr Lyons and his partner J R
Alley in their gravel dealings with the
county and Federal Government on the
Guthrie cutoff project
And we mean just that!
Mr Donnelly and Mr Dobbs cannot
escape culpabilitly by a belated and re-
luctant dismissal of County Engineer
Max Cunningham Cunningham was the
' culprit or goat—we know not which—
who approved an inferior grade or "pay
dirt" which sold at the pit for 1212
cents a ton and for which the Gov-
ernment paid Mr Lyons $113 a ton
That is cause for dismissal But Mr
Donnelly and Mr Dobbs knew these
facts long before they dismissed him
And they approved them and sustained
them until The Oklahoman and Times
were shamed into admitting the rotten-
ness of the deal When those publica-
tions gave up their attempts to pooh
pooh this expose and called upon their
pets—Mr Donnelly and Mr Dobbs—to
act to save their own political hides
then Engineer Cunningham was dis-
missed And that reflects more to their
discredit than credit
As the ruling faction of our commis-
sion Mr Dobbs and Mr Donnelly were
partners of the Federal Government in
building a $100000 road They were
spending huge sums of money appro-
priated for relief And they should have
known that the gravel being spread on
this project was not meeting specifica-
tions If ever once it was called to
their attention that this gravel was be-
ing taken from the Hendricks pit or
any of those pits in that area they
should have known that it couldn't meet
specifications None of that gravel is
fit for an asphalt base It is not
gravel at all which fact is known to all
who have even a remote idea of pay-
ing And that should have been known
to Mr Donnelly and Mr Dobbs
They should have known it long be-
fore we learned about it from a dozen
different sources In tact it remains a
puzzle that they were not advised of
the gouge the day the first load was
dumped
Then why wasn't some action taken
to prevent this scandal before 12000
tons had been spread on this project?
Why did Mr Donnelly and Mr Dobbs
wait for a distress signal from The Okla-
homan and Times before dismissing the
engineer in charge?
Mr Lyons the gravel man may or may
not be able to answer those questions but
he knows that Mr Donnelly and Mr
Dobbs could have stopped him In his
tracks and that through their errors
of omission or commission he was fa-
vored to the extent of being able to
unload several thousand tons of this
Inferior gravel on a county-federal
project for $113 a ton And for that he
should be grateful to Mr Donnelly and
Mr Dobbs
Thus if he chooses to enter the ring
and get knocked out as a candidate or
county commissioner he should pass
that soft spot along to his benefactors
and not to Grover Pendleton who op-
posed him in this gravel deal
"Harmony or quit" is what Char-
ley Brill plans to tell his city Game
Commission and if it works he
might adopt the same motto for
community singing leaders
TROUBLE WITH CENSORSHIP
T radical plays have been banned
at the University of Oklahoma It
may be that the two plays "Waiting for
Lefty" and "Till the Day I Die" are
of a communistic nature It may be
that they contain propaganda damag-
ing to a democratic state It still seems
an unsound policy to suppress them
Had the plays been produced as
scheduled a dozen students might have
participated in the performances and
an audience of several hundred students
and faculty members would have heard
what the playwrights sought to say
Outside of Norman the presentation of
the plays would have attracted little at-
tention and not one student in ten
Probably would have found other than
oramatic interest in the plays
Now that the 'performances have been
banned the plays are in a fair way to
become best sellers and there will be
those who feel that academic freedom
has received another jolt Whatever
power of propaganda there may be in
those plays will reach a vastly larger
audience than might otherwise have been
the case

THE REAL ISSUE
wITH his special genius for clearing
T IF aside collateral matters and getting
at the heart of a problem Senator
George Norris yesterday turned the
Senate debate away from quibbles about
how the substitute AAA measure should
be written
He centered attention on the real is-
sue—the power of the Supreme Court
to upset the law after it is enacted
regardless ' of its wording And what
he said applies alike to other acts of
Congress
As to agriculture—the problem which
has plagued every national administra-
tion since the World War Harding
Coolidge Hoover as well as Roosevelt—
he warned that the problem must be
solved if the country is to live and
prosper
He said in effect that the national
government had reached a stalemate
that Congress knew certain economic
and social reforms were necessary to
continuance of the republic but could
not act with any feeling of confidence
because of fear of a court veto
Therefore he reasoned the logical
thing for Congress to do is to exercise
its constitutional authority in the mat-
ter of the judiciary
The particular method he proposed
calls for a legislative stipulation that
no act of Congress may be invalidated
except by unanimous vote of the Su-
preme Court There have been other
proposals to curb the courts most of
them calling for constitutional amend-
ments which the senator believes im-
practicable He bases his proposal on that part
of the constitution which says "the
Supreme Court shall have appellate
jurisdiction both as to law and fact
with such exceptions and under such
regulations as the Congress shall make' As laymen we find no legal flaws in
his plan Maybe there are some If so
they should be brought forward The is-
sue Is there and cannot be shushed
away
Under the present system the Presi-
dent a majority of the Congress and
a preponderance of the people of the
country may want a law But if five
of the nine justices of the Supreme
Court don't like the law it goes out
the window One man can hold control
The Norris plan would end these di-
vided opinions which have plagued the
court o
It is interesting to see how this would
have worked in recent cases The NRA
would have fallen anyway because all
nine justices agreed it was illegal So
would the old Frazier-Lemke farm mort-
gage moratorium law Monday's Louis-
iana free press decision affecting a
state law likewise was unanimous
The AAA decision would have been
upheld because in that case three jus-
tices dissented The railway retirement
law which was knocked out on a 5-4
decision would have been sustained
And there would have been the same
difference in respect to those two set-
backs to civil liberties—the 54 deci-
sions in the Bland-Mackintosh oathto-bear-arms
case and the prohibition
wire-tapping case
On a basis of the majority opinion
in the AAA case it is possible that the
justices themselves might not oppose
such a unanimity requirement For the
majority Mr Justice Roberts said:
"Every presumption is to be indulged
in favor of faithful compliance by Con-
gress with the mandates of the funda-
mental law Courts are reluctant to
adjudge any statute in contravention
of them when such a contention
comes here we naturally require a
showing that by no reasonable possi-
bility can the challenged legislation fall
within the wide range ' of discretion
permitted to the Congress"
Yet in this case there was so much
of a "reasonable possibility" that three
Supreme Court justices disagreed with
the six others A unanimous agreement
therefore might seem a logical require-
ment to dispel reasonable doubts
Such a solution as Norris proposes
might in fact forever quiet the issue
of Supreme Court power to declare laws
unconstitutional 'la it is certain that
public sentiment would sustain the
court in any judgthent wherein all jus-
tices agree
' The Norris plan therefore cannot be
attacked as an effort to abolish the
court or wreck the constitution The
effect might very well be to strength-
en the court In public esteem

Two Japanese journalists sitting
across the pine table from your
correspondent at this writing in
danger of causing an International
incident at this international dem-
onstration of good-will is a mental
hazard which tends to cramp a
man's style Up to this time how-
ever the German itypewriter has
not shelled anyone so your corre-
spondent is beginning to gain'con-
fidence It may be only a simple
typewriter after all or maybe it
just isn't loaded '
The press room is a reminder of
the one of the League of Nations
at Geneva for there are journalists
here of many nations—including of
course the Scandinavians — and
most of them are not sports writ-
ers by trade but heavy duty think-
ers and political reporters from the
regular bureaus of the world press
sent to Garmisch from Berlin
Rome and Paris to cover a stries
of events which contain possibili-
ties as grim and warlike as the de-
liberations of any conference of
diplomats for the purpose of llrn-
iting armaments or concluding
treaties of peace
It was a surprise therefore to
find sitting down at the end of
the pine table a few minutes ago
Mr Paul Galileo a professional
sports writer from New York—an
odd bird indeed among so many
colleagues of more serious occupa-
tions but stranger still because he
is a sports writer who often per-
forms in the sport which he under-
takes to cover
Consistent with policy Mr Gal-
lic° recently took a course of in-
struction in skiing in an indoor
school on a slide covered with ep-
som salts in lieu of snow and when
he arrived in Garmisch he elected
the highest Alp in the neighbor-
hood and slipped down hill He

crier "all persons having business

Court of the United States are ad-
monished to draw near and give
their attention for the court is now
sitting God save the United States
and this honorable court!"
And when the crier was done yes-
terday Mr Justice Roberts began
to read the majority opinion in the
Borden milk case He reads more
clearly and with greater volume
than any of the rest with the pos-
sible exception of Stone It is a
good radio voice and possibly Mr
rustice Roberts might solve the Re-
publican political problem which
seems to be to find a safe man who
can also broadcast
Yet though the Supreme Court is
housed now in a brand new palace
Cass Gilbert has succeeded in meet-
ing the required mood and there is
nothing in the room to suggest mod-
ern times You could drive a horse
and buggy into it Indeed the en-
tire edifice has been a matter of
strict construction Not that it is
a gloomy concept There are pink-
ish marble columns and brilliant
scarlet curtains of plush or velvet
In the courtroom The wintry light
filter through long white shutters
Possibly I call my architectural shots
wrong but to me the room suggests
a French chateau There has been
dancing until the dawn and now
suddenly a messenger has ridden up
to tell the horrified guests that
Wellington has won Waterloo and
that the Old Guard is in complete
retreat
The scene is Of course imaginary
No such news or messenger came to
the Supreme Court On the con-
trary the filibuster of the high
bench against a TVA decision con-
tinues unbroken Nor did I feel
brought up to modern times and
thought by the fact that the court
rendered a vigorous verdict in favor
of the freedom of the press Some
of the edte of the decision was lost
in transmission Mr Justice Suth-
erland is not a good reader
It is doubtful that his beard has
anything to do with it Moreover
It is probably unfair to 'suggest that
the somewhat timid character of his
utterance may have been occasioned
by his memory of having not so
long ago voted to sustain the Min-
nesota gag law I

countries who are experts in this

to your correspondent that he did
not mean to come down the moun-
tain In fact Mr Galileo fell off
the Alp and is one of the few men
who have done this and survived
He was standing at the top ter-
rified by the view when his skis
slipped and he dashed away Skis

the American journalist being un—
able to arrest his descent spread
his wings and took off Into space
Like the h'umble South Bend Ind
street car motorman who tapped a
drunken passenger over the head
with his control handle and knocked
him cold to discover that he had
knocked out John L Sullivan Mr
Gallic° is now in a rather delicate
situation
The unfortunate Motorman was
a quiet citizen afraid of strife who
struck the bellicose stranger only
In desperation but now he was fa-
mous through South Bend Ind
which contains many tough guys
and all the tough guys in South
Bend began to look him up and
swing punches at him so that they
could have the honor of licking
the man who knocked out John L
Sullivan Soon he was forced to
leave town and change his name
and that may be Mr Gallico's fate
here because all the hardy Norse-
men are issuing challenges to him
to jump off higher and steeper
Alps
Our hero however is standing on
his one achievement and is cabling
to Saks Fifth-av the New York
department store in which he stud-
ied skiing on Mount Epsom the
indoor Alp to demand his varsity
letter
His worst fear now is that the
American coach will tap him on
the shoulder and deliver the ter-
rible news that he has made the
team all because he slipped off an
Alp

Justice Sutherland saved the

alties which Huey put upon news-
papers which opposed him are swept
away Curiously enough while
Sutherland droned on Mrs Long was
being sworn in as a senator in a
building not more than two blocks
away They say she made a very
pretty appearance
I cannot claim as much for Suth-
erland It is good to say as the
learned )ustice said "A free press
stands as one of the great inter-
preters between the Government
and the people" But I could wish
that he had said it more loudly and
that he had gone into some of the
ramifications of the problem The
dead hand of Huey has been taken
from the throat of the newspapers
of New Orleans but I wonder' if
that really means that each of them
automatically becomes free in the
fullest sense of the word
However one should not carp Mr
Justice Sutherland did in all con-
science disourase at length And I
also think the ventilation has some-
thing to do with it There is little
new air in the courtroom I could
b not keep from counting justices
jumping fences in order to keep
awake Stone wouldn't jump and
that saved me
The Supreme Court is a body of
great and very subtle tradition A
hair divides the false and true

I heard Dr Beard tell the tale of

was a semicolon in the first print-
ing of the constitution but through
mischance it slipped back into a

a vital difference in the interpre-

GRAY FOG
The misty fog that comes in from
sea
' Strikes lightly as a snowflake on
my band
Spreading a spectral blanket o'er
the land
Where danger may be stalkin$
stealthily
Ceilings are low for planes which
dare to fly
Across the country with their load
of mail
Even paved roads are Just a
ghostly trail
Threaded With honking cars which
hum by
' The fog won't lift until a wind shall
come
A brisk north wind to drive it far
- away—
Close to the cheery fireside I will
Silently grateful for a shelt'ring
home
Gray fog outside—how good it is
to be
Secure and warm while working

A 'WOMAN'S By Mrs Walter Ferguson
'VIEWPOINT
A MODERN disease which should be given the at-
tention of medical men Is telephonitis Sufferers
from the ailment look sane and speak with intelli-
gence but the Instrument semes to exert a malign
Influence over them Once near it they can't resist
calling somebody up
Even that might not be so bad It's when they
begin to regard their telephones as educational me-
diums Instead of conveniences that they develop really
pestiferous traits Many of them think nothing of
giving you a half hour's lecture over the wires
An important part of every child's instruction for
citizenship will be neglected until we teach him or
her "le art of concise telephone conversation—girl
chiltzn especially
However it's a mistake to think the housewife Is
the only culprit There exists an even greater
nuisance In the telephone salesman who can and
generally does make your life a misery If there
were only one of him you could endure it but when
We consider that hundreds even thousands inhabit
our cities and towns and that lately a few large and
reputable stores countenance this method of getting
rid of their wares you see what an unpleasant fix
the telephone answered is in
And it's the busy women who suffer most from
this form of intrusion The idle ones have servants
to take the calls and ward off invaders
Now I don't know exactly what's to be done about
all this I only know it's one of the problems of
civilization that needs attention
A little more consideration must be given to the
fellow on the receiving end of the wire—so why not
an educational campaign by the telephohe company
itself? -
Some moral suasion ought to be used on those
Individuals who believe that stealing another's purse
Is a high crime but that stealing his time is merely a
gesture of friendliness So long as this form pf petty
larceny is done through the telephone shouldn't that
make the company—as our lawyer friends say—an
accessory before the fact?

Resettlement Program

Editor of The News:
The Resettlement Administration
(Oklahoma) Prof Rex Tugwell's
brain storm rather blithely releases
news bulletins indicating wonderful
progress in making5 per cent loans

squandered property and outstand-

tangled in Its own ignorance and
inability
July 1 1935 the Resettlement
Administration absorbed Rural Re-
habilitation then a going concern
To Dec 15 not one red cent was
loaned to distressed farmers Old
subsistenance contracts were abro-
gated early in September and obli-
gation ignored leaving several thou-
sand dependent farmers to shift for
themselves as best they c oul d
Meanwhile a salary and expense re-
quirement of 950000 monthly ate
steadily into allocated funds
Utterly ignoring the plight of
distressed farmers the state ad-
ministration has exercised prodi-
gious mentalities on such momen-
tous questions as cigaret smoking
and morals among office and field
employes: the consequent sifting of
chaff from wheat producing rather
ludicrous results Long winded and
purposeless harangues sapped all
available strength leaving none for
the alleviation of the destitute and
suffering farmers
