economics, to use
intelligently that common thing we
call "a pay check" has as much to do
with individual independence as any
other force in life.
The greatest problem of indepen-
dence of the average man OF woman
is how to get out of what they earn
a good living and reasonable degree
of financial comforts in old age. We
cannot maintain high standard of ma
tionaI life without an intelligent man
agement of the financial matters that
constantly confront the average indi-
vidual and family. In the accumula-
ton Of capital in the hands of the
masses lies the hope of tho true indie
pendence of a nations people. The
chief concern of wage earners is to
get a reasonable degree of financial
independence out of what they actual
ly earn.
This question of how to attain per-
sonal financial independence has not
been worked out on the principle of
individual responsibility. The most
important social needs today are a
course of instruction in public educar
ton to give young people a practical
notion of how to start life on sound
economic basis; and, secondly, broad
cooperative plan in American indus
try whereby men and women shall be
helped to work out personal financial
program that will guide them toward
a definite goal of financial indepen-
dence. There ought to be way for a
man, for every dollar put aside each
week now. to get back four or five dol
lars a week forty or fifty years later,
regardless of where he works.
The present policy in American In
dustry of helping employees is based
on the assumption that they will ulti-
mately become dependent. Old age
pensions and other forms Of charitable
compensation are to be commended in
lieu OF a practical alternative, but in
principle they are wrong and contrary
to the purposes of democracy. What
we want is an organized plan that
will direct working people toward in
dependence. No system can claim
complete success that does not con-
template the financial independence of
every employee, according to his abil
ity to earn. It can be shown that
American employees, with reasonable
prudence on their own part, can reach
fair degree OF independence while
they are still working.
There must be injected into our In
dustrial policy an additional economic
element of mutual benefit and perma-
nent value to both labor and capital,
concerned not alone with the amount
Of wages and profits that are earned
but with how these earnings shall be
used. am arguing for an industrial
savings policy based upon the pTinci-
pie of independence. am arguing
for new basis of cooperation in in
dustry, for the elimination of poverty,
and for practical demonstration Of
economic democracy.
When public education teaches
school students how to manage their
personal affairs intelligently, and
when the heads Of firms make 1t re-
quirement that every young man and
young woman who accepts a position
shall be working toward definite
goal in saving money, then we will
attack economic iIliteracy at the
source and begin to save men from the
tragedy of financial dependency.

Youngster 3 Weeks Oh
Given Gloves as Champ
Hits Town.

Jack Dempsey, worlds heavyweight
champion, didn't know when he ar
rived in San Antonio Wednesday
morning for an exhibition bout that he
mad a contender, for his title here. J
But he has, and either his successor
or his successors successor NAV have
to meet him in the ring some day.
Little Ray McCaulcy, Jr., is young
but he's ambitious. He believes in
physical preparedness and in beginning
early.
Tuesday he celebrated his birthday
and the arrival of Jack Dempsey in
town. OF course it wasn't real birth
day because he is just three weeks old.
But it was sufficient excuse for birth
day presents.
GLOVES ARE 2-OUNCE
Rays father is the propriGtsl It
furniture store. So n frieni Of his
father presented him with rair of
two-ouncc boxing gloves. Small as
they were they swallowed his chubby
little hands. Ray admits they wouldn't
make much of an impression on the
champ.
But he's proud of them lust the
same and hopes when he grows up he
can have n pair just like Jack wears
He smiles every time they are
brought within his range of vision, his
mother says. They are his first real
toys.
FOOD REAL PROBLEM
Rays father also is an advocate of
preparedness so if his young SON wants
to take boxing lessons when he grows
older he will not oppose him But
about making him a contender for the
championship-that is another matter.
Right now, aside from the flectlng
pleasure his boxing gloves afford him.
little Ray is most interested in the
food supply and demand.

MOVE STARTED
TO R EST0RE
FAMOUS FORT
Historic Stronghold in Mon.
tana to Be Rebuilt by
People of State

Helena, Mont. July 9.--P)-Fort
Union, recorded by the Montana State
Historical Society as the first fort
to be established above the mouth of
the Yellowstone river and one of the
best known in the northwest, is to be
restored to portray to visitors its
part in the historic records of the
west. if plans Of citizens of Montana,
ern railroad materialize.
President Ralph. Budd of the rail
way, Secretary David Hilger Of the
Montana Historical Society and other
interested citizens visited the spo.
late in May and located the old block
house bastions and other indications
which Mr.. Hilger believes will, with
the aid of some very detailed descrip-
tions and pictures in the society's
library, permit an exact reproduction
of the old fort. The owner of nine
acres of land which includes the site
of the fort has offered TO donate this
property if the purpose can be accom-
plished. The United States govern
ment will be asked to cooperate. 1t
is estimated that the cost will be
$4,000.
A mass meeting, which will be at
tended by the governors of Montana
and North Dakota and by pioneers Of
both state, has been arranged for
July l8 at the site of the fort 1t is
expected at this meeting to perfect
plans for the reconstruction and
maintenance of the fort and to ac-
quire the 40 acres of land in Mon
tana and North Dakota which are
needed for the fulfillment Of the
plan.
The fort, which was actually for
titled trading post, was established
in 1929 by Kenneth Mckenzie for the
American Fur Company of which he
was member. The site is short
distance above the mouth Of the Yell
lowstone river on the north bank of
the Missouri river. The boundary line
between Montana and North Dakota
runs through the 40 acre tract which
is sought for the project. =.
The original fort was destroyed by
fire in 1881, but was rebuilt immedi
ately and extended In 1868 it was
pulled down on order of the COM
manding officer at Fort Bulford, five
miles south.

HEAD OF BRITISH AIR FORCE
WOULD ABOLISH AERIAL WAR

Oxford, Eng-R attempt
is being made to organize an Air
Force Officres' Training Corps in
Oxford, along the lines of the cx-
listing University o. T. c. There
are several difficulties to be over
come, among them the university
prohibition of flying by under
graduates. The anti-military spirit
which characterized the undergradu-
ates who had been through the World
War is slowly passing away as a
new generation comes into residence
and the military training courses
are becoming popular again.
Sir Hugh Trenchard, the head of
the English Air Force, in recent
speech at Cambridge, informed his
hearers that there is no defence
aginst air warfare, that it can aim
only to destroy the people and cities
and industries Of the enemy with
out preventing the enemy from carry
ing on a like program Of destruc-
ton. If he had his way, he said,
he would abolish air warfare. This
admission from an officer so highly
placed has damped the ardor of
many aviation enthusiasts.

RUSSIA EXPERIMENTING TO CUT
FOREIGN COTTON PURCHASES

MOSCOW, July S-@)-RuSSla is
now making extensive experiments in
cotton growing in several districts of
the Soviet Union. The use of cotton
in the Soviet textile industry is in
creasing greatly and the insuffiency
of Russian grown cotton makes it
necessary to spend large sums Of
money for the purchase of cotton
abroad. At present there are but a
few areas in Turkestan and the
Trans Caucasus which cultivate cot
ton, and attempts are now being made
to raise cotton also in the Kuban
district where the climate is specially
adapted to it.
New areas also have been selected
in the Turkestan and Fergann district
where experiments on an extensive
scale are now being carried out.
Should the experiments prove salts
factory the Russian authorities hope
they will be able to satisfy the coun-
try's need for cotton without resort
ing to purchases abroad.
