In Minnesota
into hypocrisy

AS stories OF wage cuts from many other states
increase, the reports from Minnesota are definitely
encouraging.
H A. Scandrett president Of the ST. Paul railroad,
declares that wage reductions for employees will be
considered
The Reliable Furniture Company in MINNEAPOLIS
has put its employees on f1ve-day week, which, OF
course does reduce the payments per person on an
hourly basis but provides work for more men, To
offset this effect the company has given each man
10 per cent wage increase.
In st. Paul, city employees are supposed to have
their salaries automatically lowered or raised to
respond with similar drops and rises in the cost of
living The city council just has provided by ordi-
that although the cost of living has decreased

made.

High and Low Finance


HIGH finance, as we call it, has
l. l. gone hand in hand with low
finance, each initiating the other.
All along the line, middlemen,
commission men, promoters, specu-
lators, tip-takers and graft-seekers
have horned in to get a rakeoff,
without delivering anything of
value in return.
The result was overcapitalization
and overproduction, especially in
those lines which fell an easy prey
to the scheme.
Recovery hinges on getting back to
state Of affairs where average
people will be assured of getting
something like 100 cents on the dol
lar, whether in public or private
service.

Our Viewpoint Changes

DEITY graft, as practiced by
l. small Office holders who find
themselves in a position to do GER
tain favors and collect for it, is
largely responsible for the racket.
That is where the boys really got
the idea of how to form cliques and
levy tribute.
Politicians not only showed them
the trick, but helped to make it safe.
It is rooted in a revised concep-
ton Of honor which has come to
affect not only politics, but business.
AS a general proposition, tips,
gratuities. watered stock, hijacked
commissions and blackjacked profits
are not looked upon in the same
light they once we're.
The change has gone a long way
toward bringing about this depres-
sion.

A Few Questions

But I am not sure that, we
are getting the lowdown. What
pressure was brought on the
League of Nations in the Jap.
The Washington times., 1931-12-14

anese-Manchurian business? Is
Japan's acceptance of the
Leagues terms a capitulatlon
or a triumph for Japan? Did
the British bankers force the
overthrow of the Labor govern
ment to save themselves? Do
the people who think they can
escape high taxation in the
upper levels of income know,
with any certainty, that the
country can carry on other
wise?
Why 1884?
Following such questions, an
other naturally pops into mind.
What makes the year 1884 so
sacred and so certain? Mr..
Hoover has set July of that year
for the end of the new taxes.
Again 1 resist the temptation to
expose a conspiracy. The year
1884 will mark the halfway in
the term of Mr.. Hoover's pre-
sumably Democratic successor.
and if Mr.. Hoover were a
cynical politician like Hanna,
this new taxation, expiring by
law at that time. would be a
mean gift. But Mr.. Hoover is
without irony.
A Look-BackWard
For the first time, he has
looked more than so days ahead
of himself. The 60-day system
didn't work. and with cour.
ageous jump Mr.. Hoover has
taken two and half years for
his mark. The assumption IN
the back of his mind seems to
be tina in 80 months we will
clear ourselves of debt and be
restored to prosperity. Mr..
Hoover is in economics what
many people are in their prl'
vate lives-he wants to go back
to the days of his youth, to the
time of care-free happiness.
The psychoanalysts can name
that fixation, can trace it to
obscure causes. without their
help most of us recognize it as
running to mammals apron and
hiding when the big dog barks
at us. And most of us know
there are other methods Of de-
feating big dogs.

were to much for Jack to over
come.
Moran was out to win early and
from the first gong sailed into the
small Dillon. swinging both let's and
rights, but Jack carefully avoided
these rusheS. Moran had stag
gered the giant Willard with his ia
nous little Mary Ann" as he
dubbed his right hand punch, but
much to his and his admirers
amazement the famous Mary Ann
had little or no effect on the sturdy
Dillon's iron jaw.
Moran'S overconfidence caused
him to fight himself out in the first
half of the scrap, from which point
Jack the Giant Killer took charge
and began a tattoo of punches that
rained in trip-hammer fashion of
the giant hulk of the great Moran.
From the fifth round on Moran's
confidence vanished. He feared that
he might become a victim of a K.
o. punch and so resorted to clinch-
ing and leaning on his smaller foe
to save himself from complete an
Inhalation. For resorting to these
ring tactics, Moran was severely
criticised and some fight critics even
accused him of cowardice in an
effort to save himself.
AS the bout neared its close, Dillon
