American Fundamentals.

Representative Drummer of New York,
believing that every school child in tho
United States should have a copy of the
Constitution and the Declaration of In
dependence, has introduced a resolution
in the House providing for a wholesale
printing and distribution of these two
documents. Mr.. Drummer holds that If
every child had copy Of these state
papers In his possession at the begin
ming of his school career it would de-
velop pride of citizenship and stimulate
patriotic ideals.
There is no question that every school
child in America should have an early
acquaintance with the Constitution and
the Declaration of Independence. Many
Of the younger children, indeed, are
fairly familiar with the Declaration
through their rhetorical and declama-
tory efforts The Constitution, however
is hardly for the early-grade mind
There is much in it that is too compli-
Gated even for seniors. Some members
of Congress, forsooth, find trouble ir
understanding it.
A wholesale distribution Of both docu-
ments might be effected through the
State departments Of education, and, Il
the copies were attractively printed
there would be q good chance Of theiI
being preserved. A bound volume woulc

Paths to Better Business.

From the Chicago Daily News
In an address before a commercial
organization at Dallas, Tex, Melvin A,
Traylor Of this city urged a national
conference. representative of the Gov
eminent, industry, finance. commerce
and labor for the purpose of discussing
and, If possible, formulating, a new
economic policy designed to stabilize
business and prevent the recurrence of
crises and depressions.
Mr.. Traylor has definite ideas con-
corning at least certain features of the
policy he deems necessary One funda-
mental Of that policy is wage scale
which Is not fixed and rigid, but is re-
sponSiye to general market conditions
or the movement of commodity prices
Some such idea is back of German and
British efforts to make wage reductions
contingent upon corresponding reduc-
tons in rents and retail prices of goods
Though 1t has proved well-nigh i'm
possible for governments to bring about
that correspondence, the effort has not
been entirely abandoned
Further, Mr.. Traylor proposes a
change in national policy regarding
amortization OF the American war debt.
He would not continue the recent high
rate OF amortization, which practically
throws the whole burden of the debt
upon the present generation. A lower
rate of amortization would permit sub
stantial reduction in Federal taxation.
which. in Mr.. Traylor's opinion, would
contribute more to confidence and the
resumption of industrial activity on a
normal basis than would any other step
that could be taken.
Mr.. Traylor favors certain banking
reforms to serve as a curb to specula-
ton, but he is disposed to put more
stress on freedom from the restrictions
imposed by numerous statutes supposed
to protect the public against oppression
by monopolies and public utilities. He
distinguishes between intelligent, con-
structive regulation and Government
interference with and threatened as
saults upon legitimate business.
Many men of affairs have proposed
a national economic conference, but
manifestly a good deal of preparatory
work will have to be done by commit
tees and scientific groups before such
a conference can achieve any consider
able degree of success.

The lavatera, small cousin to the gi-

flower for some gardeners to raise.
A packet of seeds often gives but one
or two plants, and these none too good.
The lavatera is worth experimenting
with over several seasons, for its dainty
pink blossoms and glossy green leaves
are beautiful, indeed, and different from
almost anything else in the garden.
The salpigloSsiS, declared to be the

another plant with which many anna

The Naval Program.

The administrations naval building
| program is to be shelved, if House
leaders have their way, in the interest
Of speedy consideration and passage of
the naval appropriation bill. Two rea-
sons are given for the decision not to
press for the $74,000,000 construction
proposed. One is to lessen expenditures
at time when the Treasury faces a
deficit of $375, 100000 and the other
is q desire to eliminate a controversial
subject which might delay final passage
of appropriation bills and force spe-
cial session of Congress.
1t is unfortunate that the exigencies
of the situation make it necessary to
abandon even temporarily the program
Of naval construction. This country
was largely responsible for the holding
Of the Naval Conference in London
last year and for its success. The pur-
pose of that conference was to bring
about a limitation of naval strength in
accordance with the needs of the naval
powers for national defense. Such a
the treaty which has been ratified by
the powers and is, now in operation.
1t was disclosed at the time of the
conference that the United States had
permitted its Navy to lag behind the
ratio established at the Washington
Conference in 1922. With all cate
gories Of naval vessels included at last
in an agreement, entered into at Lon
don, it was hoped that this country
would go ahead with plans for a we'll
balanced Navy.
The '-little Navy" group in Congress,
it has been understood for months,
would oppose a building program that
looked to bringing the American Navy
up to the treaty strength provided for
this country. It was declared before
the present session of Congress opened
that a bitter struggle would be waged
over the program of new construction
for the Navy, no matter how modest 1t
might be. With only three weeks Of
the present session remaining, the
House leadership apparently has given
up the idea of pressing for favorable &C.
ton on this construction program, pre-
ferring to see the annual naval bill
go through without the long battle in
the Senate which had been threatened
Efforts in the Senate to revive the
construction program for the Navy may
be made, but it is unlikely that they
will get far, it is said, owing to the
determination Of the leaders in the
Upper House to do all in their power
to bring the present session to a close
with all appropriation bills enacted
into law.
Friends of the American Navy will
be disappointed. They must hope, how
is only temporary and not an abandon
ment. The needs Of national defense
must not be overlooked by Congress
and the executive department of the
Government. The suffering in the
drought-stricken area and the large
unemployment in the industrial centers
of the country, requiring the assist
ance of the people themselves, have
been telling arguments against enlarg-
ing the appropriations of the Govern
ment, which in the end must come out
of the pockets of the people of the
Nation. When these conditions have
passed, as pass they must, there should
be no slackening in the demand that
this country provide an adequate, well
balanced Navy.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

grandmothsrs had no trouble with
The sweet pea, favorite of millions, is
one of the most difficult of garden
flowers to grow In this climate.
Some say that it is too wet for sweet
peas, others say it is too dry. Some de-
clare that it should have more
moisture, others less; you will hear
some gardeners speak for planting in
the sun, others in Semi-sunshire.
The red spider, others assert, is re-
sponsible for the failure of many
gardeners with this lovely flower Still
others will say that the use q wire
netting cooks" the plants.
1t is true that often ne-looking
sweet pea vines will turn brown a few
weeks after they begin to bloom Many
authorities, however, recommend wire
netting for the vines to climb on. And
SO it goes.
Other gardeners have difficulty in
raising with any degree of success such
supposedly simple things as Canterbury
Delphinium and lupin are related
plants which many home growers give
up in disgust, after one disastrous
experience.
Failure with a flower is not exactly
as disconcerting as receiving a rejec-
ton slip from the editor, but it surely
takes the heart out of the gardener,
unless he believes firmly in the adage
given above, and especially in the ad-
vice to try any plant at least three
times before giving 1t up.
Mostly plants require little thought
That Is one of the charms of the
garden. In it one may discard think
ing, in sense, and have a satisfying
time of it without much use of the
old brain pan.
If a plant, which ought to do well.
however. does not do well, there is moth
ing for the intelligent person to do but
don his thinking cap and attempt to
determine what is the matter.
X X
Often enough the trouble will lie
with himself, and not with the seed.
1t is human to place the blame for
failure upon some one else, and in this
case this some one is the seedman who
supplied the seeds.
That canny individual, however. safe
guarded himself from the start with the
disclaimer printed in his catalogue that
he could not be held responsible for
the growth or any other matter" of
his seeds and plants.
He pointed out, briefly but thor
oughly, that too many factors were in
volved after the seed left his hand for
him to assume any responsibility.
In this old disclaimer the wise gar
dener will find much matter for thought.
Sun, water, soil, location-these are
some of the factors over which the
seedman has no control Most of these
matters" are, however, under the su-
pervision of the gardener.
If you do not succeed one year with
a flower, try to figure out, by a study
OF the. plant in relation to its growing
conditions what was wrong or what
was done wrong
This will be no easy matter If you
are not garden-minded by nature, and
perhaps most of us are not. The best
we can do is to attempt to decide
where the fault lay-and then try, try
again.

The Safety Responsibility Law.

1t is unfortunate that members OF
the Senate who are unwilling to let the
Capper Mcleod safety responsibility
measure go through that body by unan-
imous consent on the calendar could
not have heard Gov Franklin D. Roose-
welt of New York address the New York
Automobile Club last Saturday on
the benefits that that State has re-
ceived from the law For If they had
they might moderate their disposition to
delay the time when the National Cap
ital will reap the same kind of benefits
that Gov. Roosevelt so eloquently de-
scribed as the experiences of the En-
pire State.
To proponents Of safety-responsibil
legislation-and they are 1egion-the
Governors address was inspiring New
York was the first State to adopt the
law, and it follows naturally that
more experience has been accumulated
there than in any other, although
eleven States and the Province of On
tario, Canada, followed its lead. In
giving his unqualified support to the
measure, therefore, the Governor was
referring to the conspicuous success of
motor legislation under which one
third of the motorists of the United
States and one-half of those of Canada
are operating.
It will be most unfortunate If Con-
gress at this session does not give the
National Capital the demonstrated BEN
eft of the safety-responsibility law. In
case it does not pass, it will have to be
resubmitted at the next session both
to House and Senate and again go
through the legislative mill. 1t is ear
nestly to be hoped that this will not
be the case with such meritorious and
needed legislation.
