some two and One.half points

basis, or higher, have not been
well absorbed by the market
and their prices have declined

The Right to Work
We have the right to work. .

eve have the right to work
This is the declaration Of a farmer In the
drought area, writing to newspapers in pro-
test against any doubts as to the policy OF
assisting the cropless agriculturist by fur
nishing public work.
There will be no quarrel with this state
ment. It is significant that for the first time
the farmer who finds himself in trouble takes
exactly the attitude of the unemployed indus
trial worker.
TraditionalIy in this country there has
been a difference of psychology between the
farmer and the wage Garner in the city, Inc
farmer has stood strongly against any theory
of government aid for the workers In times
of depression. He has frowned upon the idea
of public works planned to take up surplus
labor. He has seen only the fact that such
work means higher taxes. He has been an
individualist in his thinking. He has kept
alive the traditions of the pioneer spirit.
The right to work will be asserted more
erphatically as time proceeds and labor-saV-
ing machinery and mass production con-
tribute to periods of unemployment especial
" if this country loses foreign trade through
tariff restrictions that invite reprlsals ana
boycotts
The farmer whose acres are unproductlVe
through either climatic or economic condl-
tions is brought more and more into SYM
pathv with the viewpoint of the man VINO
finds his job gone.
For if the farmer is entitled to chance
to make a living through useful work When
his own farm fails, then the industrial WORK
err is also entitled to the same opportunity
Unfortunately the movement to AID Inc
farmer moves slowly. So far state author
tiles have lodged the simple, legal way OIL
calling together the legislature to take steps
to meet an emergency.
It will be more unfortunate II state
authorities, while planning to aid the farmer
do not at the same time provide for indus
trial workers who also demand the rlght 10
work for living.
Cropless farmers and jobiess workers
are entitled to equal consideration. AND ooVll
have the right to work in country that mas
vast resources and needs many public con-
veniences.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-08-29

XXTITHIN a week or so the city
w folk will be coming back to
town. And that's foolish. I always
have been one to contend that sum-
mer is a swell season right in the
heart of Manhattan.
But that doesn't go for autumn
then is the time when the country
puts on it's best performance, as
soon as the trippers have left the
leaves and grasses lose their sense OF
stage fright.
And with the departure Of self
consciousness comes experimental
ton. In summer everything is
green because that is the custom and
the convention. But now that COM
parative privacy has been restored
each tree puts out which ever colors
happen to please it.
The one that wants to be loud and
gaudy goes ahead and is just that
and gives not a damn what any
metropolitan passerby may think OF
the art effect. And soon there will
be no metropolitan passerby, which
makes it all the easier.
don't count. Somehow, the trees
don't regard me as fashion men
tor. Even when I look askance at
some strumpet birch which has gone
in for scarlet the tree gives me back
stare for stare and makes no at
tempt whatsoever to hustle around
to find some apparel both green and
decent.
