the country. 1t would be
easy for Mr.. Hoover to de-
fend himself by saying that
he is the victim of the poll
cies of his predecessor but
for the fact that he himself
helped frame the policies.
Do the "Draft Coolidge"
people complain that Mr..
Hoover is unable to lead his
party or to get his policies
throughY The answer, of
course, is that no President
in years was repudiated by a
Congress Of his own party
persuasion as frequently as
Mr.. Coolidge. He had a
handsome majority in Con-
gress and yet measures were
passed over his veto.
If financiers entertain the

increased my salary, even In
these uncertain times. SO, Of
course, I think it would be an
outrage for anyone to ask me
to give that work up just be-
cause have a husband who
is a good provider."
Well, the other day I ran
across a new idea, and it suits
me fine. The papers say that
the NATIONAL FEDERATION
OF BUSINESS AND PROFES-
SIONAL WOMEN'S CLUBS is
GOING TO WAR ON BACHE-
LORS WHO HAVE INDEPEN-
DENT INCOMES, AND STILL
INSIST ON PULLING DOWN
SALARIES.
They say the idea is to have
these wealthy bachelors re-
moved from payrollS all over
theN country, and their jobs
given to women who have to
take care Of themselves, or who
have dependents to support.
AND WHY NOT, I ASK THE
WORLD? If it's wrong for a
woman with a reasonably COM
petent husband to want a big
ger income, or to want to do
work on her own hook because
she likes it, WHY SHOULDN'T
TT BE WRONG FOR THESE
FELLOWS TO HAVE SALAR-
les THEY DON'T NEED?
People have said over and
over again that a woman who
worked when she didn't have to
was greedy" WE'LL, IF THAT
IS GREED IN A WOMAN,
WHY ISN'T 1T GREED IN A
MAN?
Or are men privileged char
"acters?
I'm all for this idea of run
ming these fellows off the pay
roll, if they're going to insist
on running the married women
off.
Of course, it'll probably start
a lot Of loud and agonized
howlS from all sorts Of sources
but it sounds good to me.
It's an idea, anyway; HOW
ABOUT IT? LUCILLE.

Again We Suggest
The Prosperity Loan

More important to mer-
chants and manufacturers is
the problem of restoring
purchasing power to the un-
employed.
Again we suggest the
Prosperity Loan - as the
best way to turn the corner.
1t is not half-baked idea.
1t was a good idea, we'll
thought out, when Mr..
Hearst proposed it first,
more than a year ago. The
other day we quoted the
view of Prof. Taussig, of
Harvard; now we have the
opinion of another great
economist, Prof. Edwin r.
A. Seligman, of Columbia
University, expressed in a
letter to Senator Wagner.
II believe that that is
about the only way in which
we can make a start foH the
better. All the efforts, and
they have been well consid-
cred ones, that are being
made by the Government
now are good so far as they
go, but easy money is not
adequate. I doubt whether
even if capital were made
entirely costless-that is, if
the discount rates were re-
duced to zero-the wheels
Of industry would be set in
motion again at once. The
industrialist today is more
anxious about a possible
market for his goods than
the cost of producing those
goods"
And then he adds:
What we need, therefore,
is not simply more available
credit, although that is
good so far as it goes, but
the actual setting of the
wheels of industry into
motion. I do not see how
there is any other recourse
at present except a program
Of government outlay ON q
large scale"
So when Congress comes
to pass upon the Wagner
bill, or the La Toilette bill,
the idea cannot be brushed
aside. as economically un-
sound or unwise. Behind it
is the best thought in the
country.
"The industrialist today is
more anxious about a posi-
BILE market for his goods"
which tells the whole
story.

To control the nerves you
must not "hang on tight" as
some folks think, because that
means "crack" some time under
the strain.
But you can relax and unite
the hard knots, make your mus
cles limp and your hands heavy
while your lungs breathe easier
and your mind becomes clearer.
When your main object is
speed, you stab here and there.
But when you are relaxed in

That is where plodders have
the advantage and sometimes
accomplish more than the

They make each move count,

Coolidge Was
Wiser Than Mellon

Five and six years ago,
these finauciers and busi.
ness men, and the great un"
thinking mass that snob-
blshly parrot the great,
were firmly convinced Of
the ineffable wisdom of
Coolidge and Mellon. The
latter was the greatest
Secretary of the Treasury
since Hamilton But dur
ing the last three years the
magic of Mellon was lost.
No praise was heard. No
paeans were sung. The
miracle man was found to
have feet of clay, and there
was no weeping and gnash-
ing of teeth when he de-
parted for London. Had he
gone out with Coolidge the
glamour might have chung
to his fame; and had
Coolidge stayed in with Mel
Ion it would have made not
one particle of difference in
the depression.
But Coolidge was wiser
than Mellon; he knew when
to go.

Il the economy pro-
gram of the leaders of both
parties and the Economy
bill, originally providing a
saving of $2OO,OOQO00
emerges with a saving of
but $40,0OO,OOO. Nothing is
more interesting than the
headlines of a partisan
newspaper. And nothing
more deceptive. Iforget who
it was who said that if per-
mitted to write the head
lines for a story he would
not care who wrote the
story. Thus we read in the
headlines of a leading Ad-
ministration paper in New
York city that the smash
ing of the economy program
is due to "Revolt from
Democratic leadership" A
little analysis of the head
lines is necessary for an in
telligent understanding of
just what happened.
The economy program,
then, was the program of
the Administration, of the
Republican leaders in the
House and of the Demo-
cratic leaders.
There was a revolt" "
but there was a Republican
revolt against Republican
leadership and a Democratic
revolt against Democratic
leadership.
The Democrats have a
meager majority in the
House, but on the final roll
call the two parties were
about equally split.
The truth is that the re-
volt was against the official
leadership of both parties.
Has Lost the Confidence
Of the Country
Just now the most sig
nificant "revolt" is that
threatened against the lead
ership of the Republican
Party by Mr.. Hoover. Were
every Republican, inspired
by the spirit of revolt, to
act on his inspiration, the
President would be refused
a second nomination. Prac-
tical politicians have no
stomach for a campaign
shibboleth Of "Four More
Years of Hoover. I"
This spirit of revolt is not
confined to the politicians.
1t is strong among the busi-
ness men and financiers,
who have been the storm
troops of Republican cam
paigns for generations. The
Presidents part in forcing
the probe of the stock mar
ket, which has failed to dis
close any dark conspiracy
of wicked Democrats OR for
eign governments to prevent
the economic recovery of
the country, has not en-
deared Mr.. Hoover in busi-
ness circles.
More important than the
manipulation of stock brok-
ers in the bear movement
are Administration policies.
The Administration tariff
policy, to which it adheres
with a tenacity worthy Of
a better cause, that has
wrecked our foreign trade
has a bearish effect.
1t is not an attack on the
President, but the mere

fact to say that he has lost

LOOKOUT STATION ON
SUPERSTITION MOUNTAIN

One of the last strongholds of
the real West, rugged, def ant
Superstition mountain, has at
last been opened to curious Ari-
zonians and visitors from other
states.
Through provisions made by
company which has establish
ed a lodge at the foot of the
mystic peak As miles east of
Phoenix, the mountain may now
be climed to its summit.
R. A. Bird, Mesa, and H. c..
Johnson, Gilbert, have opened
a temporary lodge near the base
of the mountain, arranged to
make trips from there to the
peak.
From the latter point a great
area of South Central Arizona
may be seen in panorama, as
from an airplane. The Salt
River and ella valleys and the
intervening mountains, the cit
les of the one valley, the ancient
Indian landmarks of the other,
are clearly visible.
The company has announced
plans to erect a lookout station
on the highest peak of the Sup
erstition mountain, and plans
by next summer to have a lodge
and camping accommodations.
The temporary lodge now is
reached by turning off Apache
Trail one and one fourth miles
north of Goldfeld. 1t is one
and a half miles from the high
way. The mountain trip will
be made over the old Peralta
trail, on which Adolph Ruth
lost his life in June, 1881. Ruth
was the ninth man known TO
have died in search of the fabl-
ed Lost Dutchman mine.
Guides on the trail trips are
thoroughly familiar with the
legends which have been woven
about Superstition mountain,
and on the trips will be able tc
point out the prominent features
connected with them, such as
the Indian turned to stone" on
the south ridge, the archeologi-
cal evidence of inhabitation oi
the mountains, and the famed
cactus orchards which appear
at several points in the noun
