GUGUELMO MARCONI, who died today, from a sudden

How to Soke Relief
"Two years ago Cincinnati had 30.000 on its relief rolls. To
' day It haa less than 6000. During April and May of tbla year,
the total dropped by more than 9000. A year ago employment
by WPA accounted for two-thirds of those who were being drop-
, ped from the relief rolls. Today more than two-thlrda of them
are going Into private employment, On the first of June relief

desperate cases, prepared to get along on 110,000 a month where
' It had been apendlng (300.000. and applauded Oscar Caswell,

The above is token from an article in the current Saturday

Cincinnati has a job, or ever wil) have. But those without jobs,
are so few, that thcro is no serious problem involved in taking

WHY has Cincinnati been so successful, and most cities as

The answer lies in the fact,

Not bo long ago it had one
governments. Conditions became so bad, that finally, the people
revolted. They threw out the bosses anil, crooks, established
the city manager form, and have been under its administration
ever since.
That form any form however would have eventually fail
ed, hod tho people of Cincinnati not supported it. The aroused
citizenship that had cleaned house didn't stop there but con
tinued to assist the new administration in keeping it. They not
only held to their ideals, in every municipal election, they sup
ported them by thoir votes.
THAT'S tho answer, and the ONLY answer.
There is nothing peculiar about Cincinnati, except
that it established an honest and efficient government and then
proceeded, year in ant) year out, to uphold it at tho ballot box.
Public relief in our large cities, generally speaking, has
been a failure where it hasn't Keen a scandal and a disgrace.
The trouble has not been with relief, but with the character
of tho city governments. As Mr. High points out, Cincinnati
could never have accomplished what it has, withouj federal
and stalo relief particularly the former. It- was Uncle Sam
who primed the pump.
But instead of lcttiug it go at that and shirking its own re

TEXAS PANHANDLE

First Good Crop Since 1931
and Better Prices Bring
Joy to Dust Bowl Areas
Jury Aids Harvesting
FORT WORTH, Tex. (UP) WheUt
from the Texas "dust bowl" is flow
ing to market In a golden tide, bring
tng good times again to a section that
has known only drouth and low prices
in six yeara.
The "dust bowl" had Its drouth In
138 and In early 1937. but rains came
to much of the area to give It the
best wheat crop since 1931. Approx
imately 37,000.000 bushels of wheat
were raised in Texas this year and
sold at a price between 90 cents and '
1 a bushel. j
Local tradition holds that the Texas i
Panhandle is the place "where 'you
can expect more wheat and raise less;
and raise more when you expect less,
than any place in the world."
Fortunately for the tenacious plains
farmers, 1937 was a year that the har
vest exceeded the prospect and so
did the price. Eighteen of 30 coun
ties In the flat, high Panhandle pro
vide most of the wheat raised In
Texas, This year' crop la estimated
to total from 16,000,000 to 30,000,000
bushels, and bumper crops In north
Texas will boost the total yield about
one-third more.
The "golden harvest" after so many
lean year caused excitement In the
wheat belt that would have done Jus
tice to a gold rush of an oil boom
District court was turned out at Plain
view, on the south plains, so the Jury
panel could help with the harvest. .
Mew combines, machines that' cut
and thresh the grain In one opera
tion, were sold faster than they could
be delivered. Trucks, automobiles, ir
rigation pumps and other Items de
manding an outlay of several hundred
dollar sold briskly.
Floyd county, with a yield of nearly
4,000,000 bushels, led the state In pro
duction. Four adjacent countlea
Hale, Swisher, Crosby and Castro
produced nearly 6,000,000 bushels to
gether. Timely rains, from last fall through
May, brought th successful crop.
"Volunteer" wheat, not planted but
allowed to grow from the seed that
dropped from the previous crop, yield
ed up to 15 bushels an acre. Irrigated
wheat made from 35 to 60 bushels,
and dry-land wheat from 10 to 45
bushel to an acre.
The part of Texas most commonly
considered part of the "dust bowl"
the norjh Panhandle enjoyed tor
rential rains in the late spring that
revived wheat crops previously belle v.
ed ruined. The rains washed out

waa more than offset by the In

from wheat.

men and look for one of the presi
dent's prise clubs. It was one he
was going to use to get his reor
ganlzatlon bill through. It's report'
ed missing. . ' . :
For the first time in history, the
army appropriations bill was bisect-1
ed. The purely mllltatry activities
were separated from the non-mlli-;
tary. In other words, . the expendi
tures for .natlnoal defense and pork
(flood control and rivers and har
bors) were voted on separately. The
president thus could veto '(and . he
probably will although economy will
be given as the reason) the spending
for. the pork projects without cut
ting off the army from its where
withal. Word was quietly passed around
that this Is just what would .happen
unless congress got the reorganiza
tion bill through,- either Intact a
written by the Brownlow committee,
or In the form of compromise whlcn
Senaotr Robinson sponsored shortly
before he died. y. . ,
Normally, that would be threat
enough to send any . congressman
running to cover.
But , vetoes, It is now whispered,
like the old gray mare, ain't what
they used to be. Until this session,
pees, dent Roosevelt's vetoes of . .only
two important bills have been over
ridden the Independent offices bill
of 1934 and the bonus bill of 1936.
This session, the veterans' Insur
ance conversion went through with,
out the president's signature and
without any help from the ex -soldiers.
Recently the house accorded
the same treatment to the bill to
end the low-Interest rates for farm
ers, with every Indication the senate
will do the same.
If these straws show which, way
the votes arc blowing, the club . la
gone and the pork-barrel Is open.
Under the head , of , why members
of congress want to go home, wo
suggest the following, picked at 'ran
dom from senatorial mall:' i .
A letter .to . a senator who stand
very near No. 1, from a constituent
"Dear Sir: Why Is It that our state
has not a single statesman to rep
resent us-In congress today? Yours
despairingly ..." .
A copy of a notarized deposition
to the effect that one Hans Ome
nitscb "who deposes and says he is
able and does decode various codes,
such as the antl-Chrtst codes Nero
codes protocol codes and the Weiss
haupt Dlumlnatl," and that codes
printed as simple messages . in the
news reveal "many subversive hidden
message Intended for the entire red
net ... to overthrow the govern
ment of the United States," and that
he 1 ready and willing to meet with
an unbiased group of the. house and
senate members. ,
Even If Oovernor Carl Bailey of
Arkansas should come to Washington
to take senator Robinson's place, the
atate will atlll have a Oovernor
Bailey- the lieutenant-governor's
nsme Is "Bob" Bailey.
