SOME GO-BETWEENS
HONEST, CAPABLE MEN
SPECIALIZING LAWYERS
PREDOMINANT IN GROUP
BIO INDUSTRY "CZARS"
PICKED FOR INFLIENCB
WHITE HOLSE INTIMATES
ALWAYS AT PREMIUM
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. The "go
betweens," who make a profession of
bridging the gap between business
and government, are different from
the fixers and chlselers. It would be
unjust to them to deny that remark
ably talented fixers and chlselers may
be found In their ranks. But so may
honest men. In any case, they oper
ate somewhat more publicly, and on
a different plane from the ordinary
lobbyists.
The great era of the go-betweens
was In the dawn of the new deal,
when an Impression got 'round that
the United States government was
owned by three Democratic national
committeemen Arthur Mullen of
Nebraska, Robert Jackson of New
Hampshire, and J. Bruce Kremer of
Montana. That era ended when the
president commanded them to stop
being national committeemen, or
stop representing business men be
fore the government. By now, it la a'l
but forgotten. Arthur Mullen is dead.
Jacksoh (not to be confused with
Solicitor General Bob Jackson) Is In
a small way of business. Only Krem
er still flourishes.
Kremer Is a first-class example of
the go-between. Besides being a for
mer national committeeman, he Is &
"man who knows somebody." An In
timate friend of Homer S. Cummings,
he aetuaUv housed the attorney gen
eral -when the letter first came to
Washington. Kremer does much bus
iness with the Justice department. O
Max Gardiner, former governor of
North Carolina, Is also conspicuous
now In the same way Mullen used to
be.
The "czars" and their first couslnB,
the political executives of large bus
iness, ere an Important class ofgo
betweens. The classic example, of
course, was the late W. Forbes Mor

FOR CITY BALLOT
Proposed Issue Coupled
With PWA Grant of $58,
500; Mayor Outlines Plan
at Special Council Meet
The city council at an adjourned
meeting late yesterday adopted an
ordinance calling a special election
Wednesday, August 31, to vote upon
a bond Issue not to exceed 973,500
to provide funds for the reconstruc
tion of paved streets.
The polls will be open from 1
p.m. to 8 p.m. There will be one
election precinct In each of the
city's four wards.
The proposed bond Issue Is cou
pled with a contemplated PWA
grant of approximately $58,500, the
combined sums, or about $132,000,
to be used in the complete recon
struction of all paved city streets
In need of reconstruction. By com
pleting the reconstruction at once,
the council foresees substantial sav
ings to the city, including the ex
pected PWA outright grant of ap
proximately $58,500.
Started Last Year
With many of the city streets
badly In need of Immediate recon
struction If they were to be saved
at all, the council last year ' took
steps to begin the paving project.
At a special election In July the
voters approved a bond Issue of
$50,000 In addition to a special tax
levy of two mills a year for five
years. It was calculated the two-mill
levy would provide about $16,000 a
year to carry on the reconstruction
program over the five-year period.
Proceeds of the bond Issue and part
of the returns from the special tax
levy have been used In reconstruct
ing some of the most serlously-do-terlorated

Edward B. Wagner. 36, of route 1,

Community hospital at ' 10:30 last
night from Injuries he received when
the bicycle he was riding was struck
by an automobile at the Intersection
of East Main street and Mountain
avenue In Ashland about two and a
half hours earlier. '
The machine, according to Ashland
city police, was operated by Oeorge
Dale Jorgenson, 17, son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. T. Jorgenson of 381 East
Main street. Ashland. Also In the
car was Robert Adams, 18, son of
Mr. and Mis. Dick Adams of 138
Uuirel street. Ashland.,
An Inquest into the fatal accident
was to be he'd at 4 o'clock this
afternoon In the J. P. Dodge and
Sons funeral chapel In Ashland. It
will be conducted by Deputy Coro
ner Will Dodge and District Attorney
Prank J. Newman.
Wagner, married and the father
of three small children, died from a
fractured skull, a crushed chest and
punctures of both lungs. He also
sustained a compound leg fracture
and numerous .minor bruises and
abrasions.
"X was traveling faster than I

the old ones, and many other Im

future.
Constructed with public funds sub
scribed by the Chrlstlsn people of
those early days, and by gamblers
and saloon-keepers, the old church
atlll stands ft mute but eloquent
monument to the faith, seal and
generosity of the pioneer spirit that
prevailed at that time. It has the
distinction of being the first Protes
tant church building erected west of
the Rocky mountains. It la for that
reason that cltlseni of Jacksonville
and of the entire county are com
bining their efforts to beautify tha
grounds and repair tha building so
that they will always remain a mon
ument to the early days.
Especially active in the program to
preserve the old church has been the
Rev. Mr. Mallery and the Jackson
ville Business Men's association. They
have worked untiringly In their ef
forts to establish the church aa the
fine monument It now la and will
continue to be.
