WASHINGTON, April 30. The low
down on the peculiar political antics
of the Rev. Father Coughlln has been
reported to the
pores that be In
Washington a s
follows :
fhe Coughlln
third party Idea
Is Just fine talk.
80 long as Prest
d e n t Roosevelt
"shows a dlspo
1 1 1 1 on to go
along" with the
Coughlln princi
ples, there will
5e no light on
him. The rever
PAUL BI.ALLU.N
end political doctor regards the pres'
Vient as being, at least, as satisfac
tory as anyone else who could be
noeilnntcd. He is going into the or
ganlzation of the larger states be
cause he wants to crowd the presl
dent Into adopting his program.
In fact, the silver-voiced father Is
being quoted cn the inside here flatly
as saying that he is not very keen on
Mr. Roosevelt but probably will sup
port him as the best available.
There will be no Joining of the
Coughlln and Long forces. The pa
ter's pals are whispering that he Is
not anxious to get mixed up with
the Louisiana whirlwind. Huey's fra
grant In some respects parallels that
of the Detroit radio voice, but "is not
so specific" (the words are authentic).
The secret of this angle seems to
be that Coughlln's followers do not
want Long, and the priest Is too high
principled to use what his associates
call "a bad means" to his end.
This, of course, is attleast partially
based on the Coughlln suspicion that
ithere Is something wrong in Louis
iana which may ultimately come out.
The Coughlln boys make no effort
to conceal the fact that the padre Is
definitely stepping down now from
the pulpit to straighten out the po
litical situation. They say he real
izes that radio speeches, after all,
reach only a certain class of people
who must be organized Into a politi
cal force If they are to be used ef
fectively. His Idea Is to organize five groups
of men labor, farmers, veterans, pro
fessional people of the low salary
groups, small business men. He Is
going to hold a series of meetings
similar to the Michigan one. Ohio is
next. He will then invade Pennsyl
vania, New York, Massachusetts. New
Jersey, Missouri, Wisconsin and Min
nesota. These states actually have
been selected. There may be more
later, depending on the outcome of
these endeavors.
The object Is to capture the popu
lous states that have 60 per cent of
the total presidential votes. Catch
on?
f Five big cotton men went to the
flThlte House about ten days ago to
protest to Mr. Roosevelt against the
farm control program. They stressed
particularly the big decline In cotton
exports and possibly permanent loss
of our foreign markets because other
nations are planting more cotton.
They agreed that the cotton Industry
was facing permanent difficulty be
cause 00 per cent of Its production
has been exported In the past.
The president is said to have left
them with the Idea that foreign trade
was a thing of the past. Whether
rightly or wrongly, they got the view
that the president believed the Unit
ed States would eventually have to
r:conclle Itself to the prospect of liv
ing largely within Itself.
Most foreign trade experts have
come to that view, although they do
not dare say so openly.
Few people realize that the ordinary
budget of the government Is balanced
and today has a surplus of $216,000,-
000. The regular budget runs $3,
321.000,000 for the current fiscal year,
which ends June 3. Treasury authori
ties believe It will come out Just
about even. The present surplus will
be taken up by the expenditure of
200.000,000 for the sinking fund to
pay the Interest on bonds.
Of course, this does not take Into
consideration the large sums being
pent for emergency relief and busi
ness promotion.

to be padded to obtain $1,235 to build
a boat worth 4.40O. The government
still has the boat and got value fo:

tained from the sale of junk on the
purchase of a better automobile for
park use. The government Is still us
ing that automobile. He spent $200
given him for work done on Crater
Lake lodge on tools and equipment.
The park is still using that equip
ment. I ask you again, where was
fraud perpetrated?"
The defense attorneys ripped and
tore into the testimony of A. R
Edwin, former chief clerk at the
park. Edwin. Indicted with Sollnsky,
pleaded guilty and turned govern

A large number of Townsend plan

BUILDING OF DAM

Secretary Ickes Indicated today It
was his opinion new legislation would
be necessary to resume work on Park
er dam. construction on which was
halted yesterday after the supreme
court denied ths United States
Injunction to prevent Arizona's Inter
ference.
The court held construction of
Parker dam, begun with public works
money lor.ned to the Metropolitan
Water District of Southern California
was not authorized by law.
Ickes also said he anticipated that
legislation would be required before
the dam designed to head the All
American canal, serving the great Im
perial Valley in California, from the
Colorado river could be undertaken.
He added also that legislation
might be needed to protect the Grand
Coulee and Bonneville dams on the
Columbia river, which also were be
gun by the PWA on navigable
streams.
"Senators and representatives In
terested In the dams," Ickes said,
"already are at work on bills to cover
the situations. We will cooperate
with them."
In this necessity for authorizing
legislation, Ickes foresaw a possibility
that "some concessions might have to
be made to Arizona" in her fight for
water storage In the Boulder dam
reservoir.
'The government will lose no
money on Parker dam. We have good
bonds of the Metropolitan District for
the monoy and If there la any loss It
will be theirs," tckes said.

M CAPITOL SITE
Will Proceed With Rebuild
ing Plans in Salem Un
less Directed Otherwise
by Vote of People Is Word
SALEM, Ore., April 30. (AP) Un
less otherwise directed by vote of the
people the board of control will pro
ceed with Its negotiations and plans
for rebuilding of the state capltol In
Salem, It was made evident here to
day. Individually, members of the board
were not in sympathy with proposals
to move the capital to Portland, or
elsewhere, and will resist any and all
agitation to that end, It was declared
today.
Commenting upon a circular letter
received through the malls here to
day, bearing the name of Represen
tative Victor J. Nelson of Multnomah
county, In which the writer asserted
he planned to propose to the legis
lature when It convened In special
session a constitutional amendment
to move the capital to Portland, Gov
ernor Martin said:
Martin Opposed
The people of Oregon voted to lo
cate the capital of the state perma
nently In Salem In 1864, and I can
see no reason for changing the loca
tion now after the state has acquired
extensive holdings of land, invested
millions of dollars In buildings and
equipment and centralized a system
of Institutions around this city.
"To attempt to change the location
of the capital now would be the
height of folly, and would serve only
to arouse sectional animosities and
Jealousies that would do the state
Irreparable damage.
"Portland does not want the capital
at least the thinking people ot
Portland would not favor such a sac
rifice, or invite such strife. It would
mean nothing to Portland and It
means everything to Balem,
"The board of control has at no
time so much as entertained a
thought of locating the new building
anywhere except in Salem."
"Send for Fool Killer1
It's time to send for the foo.
killer," State Treasurer Rufus Hoi-,
man declared when advised of the
Nelson proposal.
"Salem Is the capital and - should
remain the capital.
Political schemes like this Just
cause factional Jealousy between dif
ferent parts of the state at a time
when the people should be facing the
financial and economic question be
fore them In an attempt to solve It.
"Salem Is the historical capital and
I am convinced that the people of
Portland do not want It, The capital
should remain here."
