THE POOR MANS FRIEND
BY DR.. Frank Crane

WE have heard good deal OF the
wv poor mans friend. Here is so
advertised. He Is politician, and
wants the poor mans vote, mainly because
it is more numerous than the rich mans.
Here's another, philanthropist, who doles
bread; another builds a hospital or library
or college dormitory. And so on.
And this is a symptom Of charity among
us, and it would be churlish to snarl at it.
But the thoughtful mind cannot resist
the conclusion that in the long run such,
deeds not of much permanent value to
the poor
The poor man has just one friend, real
friend
1t is the Honest Man.
The more you think OF that word
"honest the more it seems to roar like
thunder, to flash revealingly like lightning.
The honest thinker, the man who re-
fuses to say what he does not believe
how much the poor owe him. 1t is he
who has stopped church prosecutions, up.
set gloomy theologies, overturned tyrant
thrones, abolished Ubiquitous laws, done
away with evil customs. To him Is due
the death OF witch burning, slavery, and
quackery. ~
The poor have but one real enemy. It
is Privilege. In the end the poor pay for
hereditary monarches, tarff-fattened trusts,
gratis and sinecures. And the buttresses
of privilege are moral cowardce and in
te!lectual dishonesty.
The prime minister Of Privilege is Ex-
pediency.
1t is expediency that protects and pro-
notes graft, ecclesiastical, POLITICAL
financial 1t ia because men say what they
do not believe, for the wretched reason
that "it Is best" or lit is safest" that
ancient frauds live on and are fattened by
the blood OF the poor.
There is no finer charity on earth than
for a to be truthful, tell the truth
and act the truth At last it is such a man
who blesses his fellows

THE BONUS QUESTION

tn me and again, l am questioned as to
the bonus law-lately passed by Con-
gress-and which law begins to func-
ton inside Of four weeks-from the date
Of this writing-namely July LIST, 1924.
This action was hasty-undoubtedly
1t precipitates immense amount OF
work on the mana ers-those who must re-
ceive the applications, and fix the amount
to be given by the taxpayers OF the United
States. There should be no opportunity for
fraud-as has prevailed too often in pen
sion papers during years gone by.
I had foresight sufficient to foretell the
clamor for the bonus, when President Will
sion, as Communicating Chief of the Army
and Navy, engineered the CONSUMPTION

ton laws there would be no need fol
the Federal Government to step in
and assume control.
''Now 1 guess yOW can see what
mean by helping yourselves and at the
same time helping your mother. So
long as I have started talking about
matters connected with the recent
budget meeting I might as well tell
you something about other vital
points touched upon by the President
in his address.
ITO me the outstanding point made
by the President regarding the idea of
economy back of the budget system
was when he said:
"'There is scarcely an econO-
mic i'll anywhere in our country
that cannot be traced directly or
indirectly to high taxes. To in
crease that burden is to disregard
the general welfare. Through con-
structive economy, to decrease
taxes is to enlarge the reward of
everyone who tolls
"In other words, there seems to be
little reason for economy and studied
methods of reducing expenditures in
the Federal Government if it doesn't
bring down taxes. Today on Capitol
Hill at Washington there is too much
radical talk-tOo muck talk by those
who have been elected with the idea
of turning the Government inside out.
The Government doesn't need turning
inside out. What it needs is sound,
clear thinking and q well thought-out
means of reducing taxes in accord
ance with the economy accomplished
by the Harding and Coolidge Admin
istratiOns.
"This should not be a political prop
ositiOn. There should be no Republi-
can, Democratic, Socialist erany 9TH
er kind of party mixed into the mat
ter. There has been too much of an
attempt already on the part of the
Democrats in Congress to fight the
only constructive tax reduction plan
ret offered, the Mellon plan. The DEM
)crats should be as much interested in |
taxes as the Republicans |
md it should be their duty to join in |
md help in that reduction. If they |
lon't they are not doing their full
luty toward the taxpayers of the
country.
"This recent meeting was the first
o be held that didn't show that the
ountry faced a deficit. The surplus of
money in the Federal Treasury will
un well over $3OO,OOO,O0O.
eve have indeed been fortunate that
his new system of bushes sadminis-
ration for our Federal Government
as been started and carried out so
ell. 1t is the result of sound leader
hip and cooperation.
"Of President Harding, President
coolidge said: We have inherited
ON our beloved leader, President
arding, a task to which he devoted
lmself increasingly and untiringly.' !
oday President Coolidge and those
rectly responsible for the admins
alton of the budget system are car I
ing out the work in the same way. I
his public trust which I hold, and I
hich you hold, is a sacred trust
id President Coolidge, which proves {
at he too is working increasingly L
d untiringly."

UNCLE TED'S BEDTIME
STORIES
Helping Yourself and Helping Others
Federal VS.. State Initiative

1t had been getting colder and cold.
er all day long with a heavy wind that
whistled through the trees anC
through the house, in some places as
though there were no walls at all. The
temperature had dropped steadily I'M
til by supper time it was a good many
degrees below zero. There was no
snow. Just cold, and Ruth and Jack
were perfectly content, for a change,
to get home as fast as they could
from school. Since that time, Ruth had
been helping her mother in the kit
chen and Jack was busy carrying in
a goodly supply of wood for the big
Fireplace and helping around the
house in general.
Il don't know what has struck these
youngsters" said their mother at the
supper table. They've been too good
for words this afternoon"
Maybe it's the cold weather that
makes them move so FAST" suggested
Uncle Ted.
Maybe So" replied mother, "but
what ever it is 1 hope it lasts awhile.
They can be such help to me when
they want to-"
You see what your mother says"
said Uncle Ted. when you act as you
did this afternoon you are making
character for yourself. You are look
ing after your own interests and at
the same time helping your mother.
1t is a good deal like our system of
GoVernA ent. Mother represents the
Federal Government and you two the
States. When you leave it all to mo-
Their you weaken your own standing
and at the same time pile unneces-
sary burdens upon her, burdens she
was never intended to carry. Now it
has been too much that way with our
states in recent years and President
Coolidge, at the recent meeting of the
business organization of the Federal
Government made an interesting and
vital point of that very thing.

money thus spent covers a very wide
field. AS President Coolidge so well
pointed out, the drain these appropria-
lions make on the Federal Treasury is
not the only dangerous point. 1t is bad

HIGHWAYS NOT BUILT
BY RULE OF THUMB
Technically Trained Men in Demand
For Roads

In the early days of road building,
any contractor who could spread stone
and roll it was good enough to "engi-
neer" the road to be built. Today all
organizations engaged in road build
ing are looking for the trained road
engineer, and when there are not
enough to go round, sending their own
men to college for better training in
highway building.
In 1919 the University of Michigan,
which has departments of Highway
Engineering and Highway Transport
professor Arthur H. Blanchard) Of
fered graduate short period courses in
highway engineering and highway
transport, leading to the degree of
Master of Science or Master of
Science in Engineering, arranged es-
peciafly for men engaged in the prac-
tice Of highway engineering and high
way transport.
In 1919-2O the attendance was 20;
while in 1929, 10 men attended
these courses, the average age of the
men being q years, ranging from 20
to Sc years. These mel came from
the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads,
state, county, and municipal highway
contractors Organiza-
tiOns, companies manufacturing mo-
tor trucks, highway machinery, and
universities, and from the
field Of highway transport. During
1894, Is graduate short period
courses will be offered, 10 in the field
Of highway engineering and in high
way transport. These courses will be
given by a staff Of professors and 10
lecturers.
The road building world is looking
@ the engineer, the trained man, the
echnician, for light on how to build |
letter, less expensive, more permanent |
highways. 1t IS generally recognized
low that the day Of the rule-Of-
humb builder is gone, and that only
he engineer, proficient in the art and
amlliar with the best practice, is the
economical spender Of the taxpayers
