Our State Old Age Pension
system is getting under way
and will perform an import
ant service of far-reaching eff
feet. More than 700 pension
claims have been examined
and passed on by the commits
sion. Of this number 500
have been approved and sent
to the State Treasurer. Some
applications have been disal-
lowed. The commission holds
that children, where possible,
must help their needy par
ents, and the State Board is
examining some such cases.
Such a ruling would be right.
Most children do help their
needy parents. Yet there are
undoubtedly cases where chill
dren are too mean to aid those
who have done so much for
them. This idea was illus
trated by a cartoon in a pub
lication showing a man in a
limousine driving up to an
almshouse to call on his par
ents. Of course, that was a
gross exaggeration, we think,
but there are cases of ingrat-
itude. Most states report pro-
gress along the line of caring
for dependents. Fortunately

Real Future
The Roosevelt Stadium will not

Stunning to Death

One of every three persons killed in airplane
crashes during the first half of this year was killed
while stunting, records compiled by the commerce
department show.
That figure ought to sober up a few of our drawer
pilots, who think that because they fly airplanes they
have to grandstand 1t also should start process
of reasoning in the heads of those passengers who
demand that the pilot give them thrill every time
they leave the ground
Stunning is all right in its place. Aerial acrobatics
are necessary in military flying, In some forms of
test flying acrobatics are essential.
1t is stunning out of place that kills so many
people The story of thrill-crazy passengers riding
without parachutes in old plane and demanding
that their pilot give them the works. is an old story
1t usually ends in the morgue
Passenger planes flying the scheduled airlines
don't do loops and barrel rolls The thrill seeker finds
passenger airliners tame and Disappointing Which
is one of the finest compliments an airline could
receive.

The Price of Stubbornness

Roger Baldwin has returned from Russia with
frst-hand evidence of how Russia feels about our
nonrecognition policy. He had frank talk with
Maxim Litvinof, conmissar of foreign affairs about
the matter
Litvinof said: Il am at a loss to understand how
country whose foreign trade is shrinking can throw
away increasing business for reasons so negligible
as those used against American commerce with
Russia"
He contended that purely business considerations
responsible for the transfer of Russian trade to
other countries. No such petty policy as poitco-eco-
nomic retaliation plays any part in the situation,
according to Litvinoff 1t is nothing but elementary
economic realism
country finds it difficult and unwise to buy from
a country which it can not sell goods.
Litvinof attributed the successful American OPP
position to recognition to three major forces in the
United States: Cd business interests competing with
Russian products; 90 the Roman Catholic church,
and 90 the conservative American unions.
He contended that recognition would do two useful
things for the United States: Cd it would promote
trade with Russia; and 90 it would help stabilize
Europe and protect the great American investments
abroad.
Whether we agree with Litvinof not it is useful
thinks about the situation.

Wheat Goes Tn

The 2O-cent rise in the price of wheat during
the last month perhaps the most cheering develop
ment during the depression 1t is real benefit to
the farming population, whch-with labor-has suf-
1ered most during the last two years Many millions
will be added to farm purchasing power.
This in turn will help the country generally. 1t

goods to the farming areas Country banks which

with wheat if the rise is maintained
There is much discussion of the causes of the sud-
den squirt in prices during the last several days. The
reported collapse OF the Russian wheat export plan,
the new Hoover credit liquidation machinery. smaller
paintings of winter wheat feeding grain to stock the
condition OF foreign markets and crops increased
foreign consumption because of lower prices. and

The Democratic Victory

Unless late returns upset Tuesdays election re-
suits, the Democrats will control the house of rep
resentatives when congress meets next month Even
If the Republicans win the vacant New Jersey seat
on Dec 1, they apparently will have at the most ZIG
votes, or less than the Democrats in the house.
Considering that Fordney of high tariff fame and
other Republicans held the Eighth Michigan congress
sona district for thirtythree years. the Democratic
victory there Tuesday is significant of the national
trend away from the Republican party
On the basis of this Michigan result, many po-
htical dopesters will see Democratic victory in the
presidential election of 1892
But that is premature
For one reason, year is long time in politics
Many elections have been lost which we're won wear
in advance If economic conditions improve. Repub
hcan chances VIII improve
FOR another reason, the Democrats are going
to take over some Of the responsibility of power which
so far has resulted disasrously for the Republic
ans Control of the house in the next session is thus
as much liability political asset to the Demo-
Gratis
When the country is in depression it is much more

What will the Democrats do with their new power

gram.
If Democratic house does no better than Re-

Indeed, two mothers reported that

result, fails to gain properly in

There are plenty of records of
