THE UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM

The suggestion that government
work should be applied as means of
relieving the unemployment situation
is one that should be considered with
favor but with caution. That the gov
ernment should do everything con-
sistent with sound economics to re-
lieve unemployment, goes without
saying, but when the government,
city, state or national, undertakes to
give employment to surplus labor, it
enters upon policy that may be-
come more injurious than helpful.
Many farmer in many a section
of the United States has experienced
difficulty in getting farm help be-
cause there was public work going
on in his community. Because there
was state highway under construc-
tiOn and the state or it's contractors
were paying high wage for an g.
hour day, with leisurely work, men
who were offered jobs on farms de-
clined because 1--WE can do better
working on the road" Many a farm
er who pays taxes to build highways |
has paid an equally high tax in the
form of high wages because he was
compelled to compete with the gov
ernment for hired help.
This does not mean that the city,
state and national governments
should abandon or delay public inn
lest they make it more
difficult for private employers to get
help. 1t merely means that since
people who spend public money are
very frequently reckless in the spend
ing, it is necessary that great care be
taken in devising and adopting any
plan for solving the unemployment :
problem by providing public work. If
he public is to be taxed in order that
work may be provided for part of the
citizens, there should be a certainty :
hat the public will get a hundred
,ents worth of results for a dollar of :
and that the public work s
will not be conducted on such a plan
IS to embarrass private employers. 5
Wherever public work is to be done :
nd there are funds to be had, now is s
good time to start or continue the
york, but it would be an economic
wrong for public employers to offer
york on such wages and terms as
0 deprive private employers of an s
to secure help at wages
hey can afford to pay. The public s
reasury gets it's money from the pri- 3
ate citizen. Private business is a
Prerequisite to public business. 1t 8

, hamper private business by setting e

tablespoonfuls of ammonia or more,
up to four tablespoonfuls. Wash the
paper well over with this. 1t is best
applied with a soft flannel. Now to
half pailful of warm water add two
tablespoonfuls of turpentine; dip =
leather into this, wiring out, and wipe
