They Tell Me

BY BEN STERN A LITTLE matter of $24 has created much comment among statehousa attaches and made inrecure the hold of J. Otto Lee upon his job as clerk of the state printing board. Lee has been holding the $2,700- . a-year post since appointed by Gov- j ernor Ed Jackson in March, 1925.; It was believed when Harry Leslie j became Governor that he would ; oust the incumbent and it became known that the chief executive has i been attempting to induce Carl Sat- j tier Lafayette printing estimator, to accept the appointment. Feeling against Lee has become intensified during the last few’ weeks i because of what is termed his “Injustice’’ toward an aged printing board messenger, William Briddick. a s a Just before the close of the legislature. the old messenger became ill and was confined to his bed with pneumonia for two w r eeks. An emergency messenger was appointed to his place for that period. On May 1, when Briddick went for his pay, he received a check for $96 instead of the usual SIOO. Upon protesting to Lee, he w’as told that he had been docked $24 : for his two weeks’ illness and $4 : would be taken out of his pay each fortnight until the total amount had been covered. Briddick potested to a friend of the Governor and Lee was called on the mat. It was pointed out that at no time was a state employe ever docked for illness and that especially in the case of an aged man, like Briddick, who is supporting an : aged wife, this would not be condoned. Lee protested that the appropriation for salaries for the printing board employes is limited and he had no means of raising the required $24. Leslie called attention to the fact that a request to him, with information concerning the need, would have resulted in an appropriation from the Governor’s emergency fund. Leslie will find when he attempts to replace Lee with a Republican that the membership of the printing board, as a result of the Democratic victories last fall, is divided i equally between the parties.

NEW BUS LINE j HEARING STAYED! Southside Project Delayed! by Works Board. Hearing on a petition of the Lo- j gan J. Smith Bus Company to oper- I ate 7-cent bus lines on Capitol avenue and on South Meridian street ] was postponed indefinitely today by*the board of works at the request of attorneys for the bus firm. The hearing was to have been held Friday, but the works board, in order to give every citizen a chance to be informed on the proposed lines, postponed the hearing and will announce the date later. Smith seeks to operate a North Capitol avenue line that would run from the Circle to Capitol avenue, north to Thirty-fourth street, west to Graceland avenue and west to Sunset avenue. The other route would go from the Circle south on Meridian street to South street, east to Fletchei avenue to State avenue and south to Naomi street.

STIMSON BACKS STATE POLICIES OF EUitU ROOT Long Friendship Between Two Causes Similar Ideas in Work. BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 11. The faithfulness with which Secretary of State Henry L. Stimscn is following in the diplomatic path of his political benefactor and friend, Elihu Root, in exploring Caribbean problems, has aroused interest here. For more than a quarter of a century the two men have been friends. Root—who, along with Charles Evans Hughes might enjoy the title of America’s elder statesman—laid down salient tenents of American j insular and foreign policy in the [ first decade of this century. As war secretary, he interpreted I the Platt amendment in a manner i limiting the United States right of ; intervention in Cuba. Later, as sec- | retary of state, he clarified and amplified our policy in the Caribbean. Takes Cuban Policy

Stimson, following the footsteps of his former law partner and counselor, has adopted and revitalized several of Root's cardinal principles. Six months ago, when political turmoil in Cuba raised the question of whether American intervention might become necessary under the Platt amendment which gives us the right to intervene in the island, it was learned that Stimson proposed to adhere to Root’s conception of that right. Regarded as Significant The latest instance of Stimson’s adoption and restatement of Root's policy came Saturday night, when the secretary, warning American investors that they need not expect military aid in collecting debts quoted Root: “The established policy of the

United States is not to use its army and navy for the collection of debts." Stimson’s restatement of this policy was regarded as significant. Possible repudiation of some foreign government bonds is predicted for the next few years in some quarters. The long friendship of Root and Stimson is one of the “Damon and Pythias” stories of American history'. Stimson first became associated with Root in a professional way in 1893, when he joined the firm of Root & Clark, New York lawyers.
