WASHINGTON. Aug. 7. If any one
could claim credit tor the way con

the last week It ought to be Sam
Rayburn, majority Iloor leader of the
house. With Vlco-Presldent Garner

phatically. If silently seconding the
motion. Representative Rayburn has
hung on with the tenacity of a bull
dog. But hanging on la In his line. It
was the way he hung on to the bill
that created the securities and ex
change commission that made the
financial world sit up and take no
tice. And It was banging on to an idea
that he got Into his head when he
was a youngster that-brought him
to where he Is: majority floor leader
of the bouse of representatives.
A barefoot boy up In the corner,
reading the biographies of the coun
try's great men, was the avatar of
this congressman. And he wea still
a school boy when he announced that
he was going to run for 'je state
legislature aa soon as he finished his
law course, that he waa going to be
apeaker some day and after that run
for congress. And that's Just what
be did. And all he had to start with
was A2S and his father'st blessing.
Young Sam Rayburn was one of
eleven children, whose forbears came
by way of Tennessee from Virginia
to a border line county In Texas (he
waa born In Bonham) and there
turned the virgin furrowa In a neigh
borhood that still wins Its bread
from the soil.
The country school house was the
. oommunlty-center of the times and
here on-tneny a festal 'day thoRay
burn buggy was tied while the whole
family heard the local politician's
oratory, or attended the recitations
or spelling bees and discussed the
latest news In the weekly editions of
the Courier-Journal.
When Sam had absorbed all that
the country school had to offer either
In its regular sessions or when some
visiting pundit proclaimed his views,
he went to bis father and said be
had to go to college. The father was
In favor of the notion but regretruny
explained that there was nothing In
the till for raccoon-skin coats
flivvers or the local equivalent of the
day. He did, however, present his
ambitious son with $25 In coin of
the realm and escorted him to the
station on the branch line that waa
to take him to the Texas Normal col
lege. The boy was a good student, bright
and determined to learn all that was
taught him. But when he finished
hia course, and since he was, as we
have noted, already on hla way to
congress, the next step was naturally
the state university law school.
His shingle was hardly floating on
th Bonram breezes when he was
ready for the legislature. At 24 he
was elected. He was a member for
four years and then, as per schedule,
waa elected apeaker and served In
that capacity for two more. Mean
while, tn the summers, he practiced
law. Then one day in 1913 the coun
ty paper announced In black-faced
headlines:
"Storea closed all day and every
body out to hear Fannin county's
gifted son who is candidate for con
gress." Just how this specialist In mea
sures dealing with some of the most
Intricate and abstruse principles of
political economy translates his
record Into votes for his constituents
would seem difficult to fathom. His
purely agricultural district is far
more interested In stock with four
legs and a moo than It Is In a stock
exchange, and a transportation act
to them Is chiefly the act of trans
porting a bale of cotton from aithei
to hence. But he gets things done

Moody Declares Counties,
Not State, Have Power
To Take . Legal Action
SALEM, Aug. 7. (p The district
attorneys and not the attorney gen
eral are responsible for the enforce
ment of the criminal statutes in their
respective counties. Assistant Attor
ney General Moody today advised Le
Iflnd T. Brown, district attorney -of
Wasco county.
Moody's letter was in reply to one
from Brown urging the attorney gen
eral's office to take the initiative In
enforcing the criminal laws of the
state against marbleboard, plnball
machines and other similar devices
operating In violation of the lottery
and gambling laws of the state.
You suggest for the attorney gen
eral to take the Initiative In the en
forcement of this phase of the crim
inal law because this office has borne
the brunt of the prosecution of these
cases," Moody said.
"The attorney general is without
power to direct the district attorney
in the performance of his duties and
cannot act in -the capacity of a dis
trict attorney unless directed by the
governor."
Moody then pointed out two stat
utes which authorize the governor to
act In criminal prosecutions,
"The governor directed' the attor
ney general to Investigate and prose
cute the violation of the laws against
gambling in Marlon county," Moody
continued, "and In the performance
of such duty and assignment the as
sistant attorney general conducted
the proceedings against marbleboards.
pin-ball machines and other similar
devices In Marlon county." .
Moody said that from decre&s en
tered in the Marlon county cases the
operation of marbleboards, pin-ball
machines and similar devices violates
the lottery, gambling, nickel -In -the
slot and public nuisance statutes of
the state. He also averred that the
Oregon law, which purports to license
such gomes and others of like char
acter is unconstitutional Insofar as It
applies to marbleboards and pin-ball
machines.
"Consequently," Moody said, "any
license of these machines Is void and
should be disregarded."
Moody's letter continued:
"It would seem to me that your
duty in the premises Is plain. If in
Junction proceedings have been lnstl-
tuted In your district enjoining you
from acting, you should promptly have
the court dismiss the Injunctions and
dismiss the cases. On this being done
you should proceed at once to enforce
the criminal laws of the state against
these devices."
Copies of Brown's letter were sent
to all other district attorneys of the
state, together with copies of all pro
ceedlngs in the Marlon county pin
ball and marbleboard injunction
cases.'

SENATE APPROVES
COURTPACK BILL
Garner In Surprise Moves
Puts End In This Session
To F.D.R.'s Scheme.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 7. (API
The historic court controversy in the
senate ended abruptly today with
passage of a compromise Judiciary
reform bill dealing only with lower
federal tribunals.
There was no roll csll vote. Vice
president Garner gavelled the meas
ure through after less than an hour
of perfunctory debate.
Few senators were on- me nui
when he banged his Ivory mallet
on the desk and declared the bill
passed by unanimous consent. -
Several senators, caught by sur
prise, sprang to their feet and pro
tested that they wanted a chance
tovote against the legislation.
Garner promptly ruled their ob
jections came too late, but said
they could nave tneir opp""
noted In the record.
The measure had been agreed to
by administration leaders, after they
abandoned President Roosevelt's or
iginal proposal to appoint additional
Justices to the supreme court If In
cumbents past 70 years of age did
not retire.
Speaker Bankhead Immediately
predicted the house would pass the
measure with dispatch.
He said the bill probably would
be sent to a senate-house conference
committee Mondsy merely as a mat
ter of form.
The substitute bill, drafted by the
senate Judiciary committee, provided
for four procedural reforms in lower
courts.
Senator Austin (R.. Vt.), an en
emy of the abandoned bill, asserted
that the aubstltutc had been drawn
up "with entire Impartiality" and
"without a trace of partlssn bias."
Majority leader Berkley (D.. Ky.)
predicted an adjournment "by Au
gust al or perhaps a mtie sooner.
He said the senate would consider
leclslatlon Monday to govern the
operation of the Bonneville dsm and
rawer nlant In Washington, and
that the sugar bill would be. taken
up Wednesday or Thursday.
A ui loophole bill. UH being
drafted In the house, and a few
score minor measures then will be
