; McDuffie for Speaker.
11 Representative John McDuffie,
: of Alabama, has been unani
| mously endorsed, by the Legis
I lature of his state for Speaker
; of the House of Representatives
| in the event of the election of
: Speaker John N. Garner as Vice
President. Mr. McDuffie is per
sonally a fine gentleman, Demo
cratic whip in the House and
chairman of the Economy Com
mittee. But his elevation to the
Speakership, with its corres
ponding power and influence,
would spell further disaster to
Alaska. It will be remembered
that when Delegate Wickersham
moved to increase the appropria
tion for the Alaska Road Com
mission from $354,000 to $650,
G00, Mr. McDuffie secured the
defeat of the motion and then
sought to eliminate the appro- ,
priation entirely, declaring that
it was rediculous to appropriate
all that money for roads in Alas-1
ka when there were only a few t
thousand white people to utilize,
them. And his effort was onlyj
' defeated by six votes.

lands, the strategic point for
forstalling such attacks. He adds
that “The restrictive clauses of
the Washington Treaty which
prohibit our establishing a naval
base on one of our own harbors
in the Aleutian Islands (at a
cost of less than a modern
cruiser) are not required by that
treaty to remain longer in force
than the end of 1936.”

“Economy Act” Provisions.
Comptroller General has been
called upon quite frequently
during the past few weeks to
render an official interpretation
of some of the “Economy” Act
provisions. The question of
whether Congress intended to
take money from the funds for
road construction in Alaska,
which are deposited with the
Treasury, and transfer them to
the Treasury in cases where
savings are made, was pro
pounded to the Comptroller
General by the Secretary of the
Interior. It was contended that
tiie impounding of portions of
those road funds would have the
effect of imposing double taxa
tion upon the people of Alaska.
After citing conditions under
vhich the money originally was,
appropriated, the Comptroller
makes the following statement in
his reply: “Accordingly, it would(
appear that employees engaged
upon Alaska road work for which
appropriations are made by the
Congress, are in fact paid from
the Federal Treasury and the I
fact that contributions in aid of
such work are authorized to be i
received from outside sources
does rot exempt such employees, j
nor the appropriation, from the i
provisions of the Economy Act!
and all reductions in compensa-1
tion required to be impounded '
by that act must be deposited in
the general fund of the Trea
sury and may not be returned to
the appropriation.”

MIDGET MOTHER

When a stranger knocks aij
the home of Mrs. Thomas Leslie
and she comes to the door, shej
is always prepared for a dialogue
like this:
“Is your mother home?”
“I’m the mother here.”
Mrs. Leslie is only a little over
three feet, six inches tall. Her
daughter, who is 23 months old,
weighs half as much as she does
and is as tall as an average
child of her age.
Mrs. Leslie, once a trouper'
with a midget act, presides over
her home alone, makes most of
her child’s clothing and pre
pare': meals for her husband,
who is nearly six feet tall.
Years ago she did all the cook
ing for her father and seven J
brothers, ail over six feet, so she
’s familiar with household ac-(

BUSINESS BLAMED FOK
SPREAD OF CRIME, RACKETS
-x
Racketeering by business men,
leaders of organized labor, crim
inals and politicians was charg
ed by Gordon L. Hostetter of
Chicago with causing a stupen
dous economic loss annually to
the American public.
Hostetter is executive director
of the Employers’ Association of
Chicago. In an address before
the national conference on gov
ernment he asserted:
“Racketeering is an inside job
and a native American product,
for which business itself is too
greatly responsible.”
Cost Called High
He said a federal judge had:
asserted the crime cost annually
!in the United States was between
$11,000,000,000 and $13,000,000.
000. Hostetter estimated that
i racketeering costs in Chicago
I alone amount to $145,000,000 a
vear.
I
| Racketeering has undergone a
change for the worse in the past
two years, he said, adding:
“Whereas several years ago
organizations of business men
and organized labor were princi
pally responsible, with the crim
inal acting merely as a tool or
an agent, the criminal is now
gaining the ascendancy.
“What is more alarming, or
jganized criminality is directing
jits efforts toward the control of
business and labor as a means of
perpetuating itself—when, as
and if, and possibly regardless of
whether, its peculiar field of ac
tivity is destroyed by repeal or
modification of the Eighteenth
Amendment.
“Open declarations of this in
tention have been made by some
of the country’s most notorious
criminals and sufficient evidence
is present to indicate the success
of their programs.”
Hostetter said the “true rack
et is comprised of four elements”
and listed them as:
“1. The business man, business
group, or association of business
men.
“2. The leader or leaders of or
ganized labor.
“3. The criminal underworld.
“4. The politician.
“The collective purpose and
sole intent of this conspiracy,
obviously, is exploitation of the
public.”
