Though army engineers are put
ting the finishing touches to their
reports on the Mississippi flood
problem, it appears that the attitude
of business and banking organizat-
ions will do more to afford speedy
remedy than the legislative action
sponsored by Congress. Indications
are that the rehabilitation work will
be expedited by the continuation for
another year improvised credit
agencies. 1t is believed that Federal
aid for these stricken areas will be
delayed by controversies when Con-
gress meets. A survey shows that
the state credit corporations, the
banks and other credit agencies in
the affected states are willing to ex-
tend their helping hand for another
year. The War Department is hope
full of obtaining the necessary funds
for the construction of new levees
which will withstand the onslaughts

ORDINARY, SENSIBLE CITIZENS
MUST REDUCE FIRE WASTE

Every year, fire, in this country,
burns property worth over half a
million dollars. In addition to this
direct loss, is the much greater loss
caused indirectly by unemployment
resulting from destruction of plants,
loss of profits and good will which
comes from interruption Of business.
1t is impossible to compute the in
creased loss caused by these indi-
rect agencies, but it would be safe TO
say the total is brought TO we'll over
a billion dollars year.
Think what this sum Of money
would mean if used for schools,
roads, or, what may be closer to the
heart, if it wera used for govern
mental purposes and taxes lowered
accordingly. Instead, it is a great
fortune destroyed as completely as if
so many dollars were sunk in the
ocean.
Something must be done! There
has been Jaudable cooperation
among editors in this country who
have written Voluminously on the
subject, doing their bit to stamp it
out. But this is not sufficient, valu-
able as it is. There must be the
wholesouled opposition of the ordi-
nary sensible citizens Of every local
ity. The careless and irresponsible
must be made to feel the enmity of
public opinion. Fire loss can be
checked. The people, and only the
people, can do it.

THE AGE OF MACHINERY

Modern mechanical equipment has
made possible unthought-of eficien-
cy.
Whether it be in electric attach
ments for the home, such as wash
ing machines, percolators and so on,
or labor-saving machines for indus
try and the farmer, power driven
machinery has done more than any
other agency to abolish drudgery and
time-wasting.
The modern housewife can do
practically all of her work by press
ing a button or turning a switch; the
factory owner can limit his employ
ees to we'll paid experts and still in
crease his output by using the latest
type Of machines; road builders,
lumbermen, and construction engi-
neers can accomplish the industrial
feats of today at lower cost with the
powerful Caterpillar" tractors,
mammoth shovels, excaVators, gra-
ders and other heavy duty machines.
We are living in what might be
truly called the "Age of Machinery"

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
[FrOm National Editorial AssOciatiOn1
ESPECIAL TO cERoNIcLFl
Washington, October 5-Perhaps
you have not noticed, but the pail of
censorship has fallen over the
candidates for the Presidential
nomination. 1t is obvious, however,
that the boards of strategy are
quietly and effectively functioning
in Washington and elsewhere. Ex-
peience has shown that those who
employ ballyhoo and engage in
stump" speaking are usually among
those left at the post when the race
for nomination is actually under
way at the conventions. There have
been times when Presidents would
have given high ransom to have
certain pre-convention utterances
wiped off the states. Hence the pre-
cautions at this time among those
seeking the office.
To illustrate how these unofficial
political strategists groom their
candidates is to cite a current ex-
ample. One dignitary here has
placed himself completely in the
hands of the promoters. He has
hundreds Of requests for public ap-
pearances and other opportunities
for obtaining nationwide publicity.
Since his presidential boom has been
this candidate abides by
the decision of his associates who
are obviously restricting public ap-
