EARLY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

The human element is a factor in Christ
mas shopping, and this is something that
should be remembered. The human machine
breaks under undue strain just as any piece
of machinery, and because Christmas is a
time for charity to all humans, it is only rea-
sonable that shoppers should be considerable
to the store clerks, the postal clerk, and the
servants of the express companies and rail
ways. These people want to enjoy their
Christmas just as much as anyone else. You

the apparent lack of restraint in the installa
ton of the lighting system during this per
iod of depression Such comments are the re
suit Of thoughtlessness on the part OF the
makers As matter of economy, an otfse1
to the unemployment and as an aid in rails
ing the morale Of the citizenry such activity
should, in all truth be done during just such
periods. Too bad we can't do more OF It, Ic
illustrate: When the street lighting system
was first estimated, the amount OF money
available for the purpose permitted lighting
but two streets. After the sharp decline in
the price of labor and material the system
was enlarged to cover Washington street at
the same cost. In other words, We got dozen
or more lights at the same price by doing
the work during the depression.
AS we've said before, we're convinced
that most of us vote from purely personal
standpoint. Judging from the way the vote
on the director for the Columbia district, we
are not just sure but what the farmers have
a holler coming over the city precinct In the
farming areas the vote indicated dissatis-
faction with the present management. Even
tho the city property owners and citizens are
intensely interested in the welfare of the
ditch, surely the farmers ought to be in bet
ter position to know whether the affairs OF
the district are being conducted in an eco
nomical and efficient manner.
In news item printed last week it stated
that quarter of the cost of the new street
lighting system had been paid in already.
This was correct, in as much as something
over $4,000 has been collected out of t e
$500 total cost. But the story could have
been expressed even little stronger. Nearly
half of the local assessments have been col
lected, for the city is paying half the cost of
the system by general bond obligation.
Those who are putting money in hiding are
making direct contribution to the prolonga-
ton of the depression. They are demonstrate
ing fear that is demoralizing. To hide
money is to make it useless to the world. If
you are not honestly making an effort to
pay the bills that you owe, and you have a
job that is paying you regular income, you
are not playing fairly with your fellowman.
Boost your home town, you have every
reason to do so. Climate, railroads, highways,
substantial people, good stores, good bust
nesses, capable administration, what more
cause do you need for boosting.

GREEN PROPOSES
5DAY WORK WEEK
Declares Basis of 35 Hours
Would Provide Employ
ment for ALL

A five-day, 35-hour working week to
relieve unemployment was proposed
yesterday by William Green, president
Of the American Federation of Labor.
There will be permanent unem-
ployment problem" If industries insist
upon working employees SO hours a
week, he told the Senate Manufactures
subcommittee during his plea for dis
tribuvion of work.
IF every employable person who
wanted a job had one, the total of work
for each would be 35 hours weekly -
he said, There's work enough for all
on the basis of five days a week seven
hours day"
Right now, he added, the UNEMPLOYED
want work, not charity and relief"
The subcommittee, which is studying
proposals for creation of an Economic
Council, heard from Green a declara-
tlcn that economic planning is neces-
sarIy, but lis IN the early stages of de-
velopment."
Makes Four Recommendations.
He urged restoration of the buyinp
power OF the masses as a valuable way
OF improving economic conditions.
Although he considers some form of
unemployment insurance of value
Green declared himself against unem-
ployment insurance based upon the
premise of permanent problem.
His recommendations for improving
conditions we're:
l. Universal application of the best
practices developed by industries.
T. Development and application of
principles of co-ordinated control on
various levels paralleling the inter-
dependence of economic groups and
undertaking..
B. Extensions of knowledge CT the
fact7 of distribution and provision of
mechanism that will keep the flow of
consumer income adequate to capacity
Pronuctlon for the purpose of raising
living standards.
Trust Law Changes Advised.
4. Organization of workers to advance
thel. interests as partners in industry
IN line with all other investors and
participation in efforts to maintain
nalancc between production and con-
sumption.

his return to India after the second

regards the new British government
ordinances in Bengal "as a cause of
war unless they remain on paper and
are not enforced"
And" he added, 'I cannot imagine
ordinances Of that kind not being en-

The new ordinances, promulgated last
Monday, give the Bengal government
power to impose sentences of death or
life exile upon persons convicted of sub
versiVe acts against the crown.
Calls Situation Martial Law.

creating the prospect of a new fight for
Indian independence.
Ordinary laws, the Mahatma said,
would have been adequate for dealing
with the Bengal situation. These ordi-
nances," he said, mean legalized mar
tial law. They are unworthy of a strong
civilized government"
Il have had further talks with Prime
Minister Macdonald, Sir Samuel Hoare
and others, but I have heard nothing
to cause me to change my provisional
opinion that we have reached the part
ing of the ways" In any event, he
said, the decision will rest with the
Nationalist Congress.
The Congress, he explained, would
be justified in instituting civil DISC
bedience in given districts If the
Nationalists were unable to obtain re-
dress by other means.
