now THE GOVERNORS VIEW TWO
GREAT PROBLEMS

and fancies, no matter how eloquent
their advocates may be-"
Governor Hartley, of Washington
remarks that "One of the greatest
evils of the day is the spending of
public funds when and where not
necessary" More and more, he finds,
Governments are interfering with
private business, destroying self-re-
lance and individual independence. .
He would have Governments confin-
ed to their legitimate role of main
tanning equal opportunity for the
citizen and keeping order.
Enthusiastically, Nebraska's
new Governor, Mr.. Charles W. Bry-
an, would have Congress do every
thing-reduce the tariff, enact Sen
ator Norris pet ideas, Muscle
Shoals and the lame duck" resolu-
tion and the export debenture plan.
But as a whole the Governor exhib-
it sterling sanity in their deal
ing with the unemployment situa-
ton.
Concerning the public utilities,
Mr.. La Toilette, of Wisconsin, alone
among the other Governors, matches
Mr.. Pinchot in his use of denuncia-
tory terms. In his peroration he
calls upon every legislator to choose
between Wisconsin and the Power
Trust" and says this will be IAN acid
test dividing the reactiOnary from
the progressive" But while most of
the Governors discuss this subject |
of public utility regulation with rea-
sonable restraint, the importance |
they attach to it is plain. These !
messages amply refute the notion, |
once held by Mr.. Martin insult but |
modified, that the i
people" are not interested in official |
control of the utilities, that it was
not an issue in the November cleo
tions and is not now with respect to
When the Governors of
thirty States devote a considerable
portion of their messages to rec

either through new agencies or the
strengthening of existing ones, and
six of them come out strongly for
ownership, there is no
doubt of the place this subjects oc-

A LITTLE of the time which most
people spend in aimless loafing, if
devoted to developing home town in
terests, would create new business,
new values in real estate, better
jobs, better facilities for living all

SOME people will spend SIS worth
of time, automobile wear and tear,
gas, etc, in a shopping trip to some
city for a supposed saving of 25
cents, which is probably not a real
saving anyway.

If a business declines, it is not
probably because people have any
complaint against it, Probably they
have forgotten it because it failed
to advertise.
Milford chronicle., 1931-02-27

Conspicuous among these sensible
Executives is Governor Parnen, O
Arkansas, a State which, because o
the drought, has been the hardes
hit of all. His warning is wortl
quoting:
1t is only natural that de-
mand should arise for legisla-
tive remedies for economic ills.
But we should not permit our
selves to be stampeded by our
sympathies into adopting poll
cies which are unsOund or spen-
ding State money for things
which are not worth what they
cost in service to our people.
The cause of our distress is
economic, not legislative. The
remedy lies in economic recov-
cry, not in legislative palliative.
This is no time to try out fan
tastic schemes or visionary pam
aceas for our ills. II is no time
to increase in any material de-
gree the tax burdens of our peO-
pie.
In almost the same words Cover
nor Hunt, of Arizona, while approx
ing necessary new construction,
counsels against political expert
and indulgence in fads

The enterprise of the United
States Daily in compiling the mes
sages of the Governors to the forty
affords the opportunity for compar-
| ing their opinions and gauging to
some extent the prevailing publ :
sentiment in the several States re-
8arding questions of nationwide i'll
terest. Naturally, all devote first
place to the unemployment situation
and measures for relief.
AS was to be expected, they make
numerous constructive suggestions
for the expansion of public works.
Liberal appropriations are recon-
mended and in some instances bond
issues. Where such organizations
are not already functioning, the for
nation of emergency committees of
relief is advised. The Governor of
Connecticut asks authority to ap-
point such a committee. But in the
majority of cases the State Govern
ments seem already to have acted
on the request from President Hoo
ver's Unemployment Committee and
to have established adequate ma
chinery for the purpose.
or special significance is the man.
ner in which Governors of known
radical tendencies or those whose
States have suffered more than their
share of misfortune have taken
their stand against raids on the pub
lie treasury and the adoption of un-
sound proposals. Their attitude in
the main contrasts most creditably
with that of their representative in
Congress. /

Well, wish I could feel confi- dent we would have club to beat the American league in the worlds series, whether it's the Athletics again or the Senators" went on the first National leaguer.
 Think I would rather have the Senators in there. Good enough club, experienced and smart but hasn't any pair of pitchers to match Grove and Earnshaw. Neither has any club in the National league.
 Do you realize what those pitch CTS, with Walberg going well, have done for Connie Mack, while the As infield has been shot to pieces and Cochrane disabled?
 Don't tell me Coombs, Bender and Plank were any better as combination. I don't think so.
 Those Athletics are smart. Mack always has run to brains in his best teams. The old As outsmarted the slickest National league team of my time-the Cubs of Frank Chances day, with men like Brown, Evers, Tinker. =. J

Several National league men of prominence were discussing the sit uation in a New York hotel one of those hot days.
 Now you take the Cardinals" ," said the first one, who was not, of course, offering them other than in a conversational sense.
 They are not great ball club They're not great hitters. Their best pitcher is Grimes and their best all around player is Gelbert. They have been bounced around by the Boston Braves, but they will be very, very tough to beat"
 How about the Giants?" asked the second National leaguer. s.You're not counting them out?"
 NO, but McGraw's club has not satisfied me it has consistent championship class. It looks great one day and bad the next. Pitch ing is too spotty Vergez has made the team and kept up it's high standard of infield play, but there's something lacking"
 Well, what do you think of the Cubs?" asked the third party to the conference.
 Fair chance to win. Spottier than the Giants, much slower and not getting as good pitching as it should have. Cubs will score plenty of runs by brute force, but the de- fense probably will beat them.
