Chicago's Request for a Loan.

Application has been made by the
mayor Of Chicago to the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation for 4 loan to that
city OF any amount from $40,o0o,o00 to
SlSo, 900, 900, to meet the city's impera-
tive need to pay long overdue salaries
Of school teachers and other employees
and to meet other pressing financial
obligations. The mayor said, in An
nouncing the request: Our paper is as
good as gold; we can pay the money
back as soon as we collect the taxes
for the last two years"
Chicago's financial plight has been .
national scandal for many months.
Taxes to the amount of an enormous
sum have been withheld from payment
on the score of = protest against the
assessment. The city has been virtu-
ally bankrupt In consequence. Extraor-
dinary efforts to raise funds to mest
the pressing financial obligations" OF
the municipality have failed. 1t was
sought IS one expedient to issue tax
due certificates collectable when the
dispute over the assessment Is settled
by the courts, or by legislative action.
These, however. have not been taken In
any great quantity by the citizens. and
in consequence nearly all Of the munich
pal workers Of all grades have suffered
from lack OF revenue.
Chicago could give no guarantee to
the Federal Government Of reimburse
ment Of any loan that might be made
TO it through the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation Its security, in short. is
inadequate. Its credit has vanished. If
it were 4 business corporation it would

My strength Is made perfect in
weakness" This paradoxical state
ment was made to one of the strongest
characters that the world has known
namely, the Apostle Paul. He had been
writing to his young converts concern
ing physical malady that so hindered
and restricted him in his field Of oper-
alton that he plead that it might be re-
moved The consistency of his appeal
seemed quite obvious He felt that his
ministry to men would be greatly in
creased were his physical ailment re-
moved. The answer to his plea was:
My grace is sufficient for thee, for my
strength is made perfect in weakness"
So impressed was he by this strange
answer to his plea that he declared
with boldness: Il will glory in my in
firmities that the power of Christ may
rest upon me-" He further declares Il
take pleasure in infirmities, for when
l am weak, then ! am strong" When
once he was satisfied that his physical
disability was to be the actual means OF
increased spiritual strength. he went on
his way unembarrassed and unhindered.
One Of the remarkable things about
life Is that any expression OF power or
genius grows very frequently out Of mis-
fortune, disappointment and hindrances
placed in our way. The old adage that
necessity is the mother Of invention"
has been demonstrated again and again:
AS we study the lives OF the men and
women who have enriched the race. we
are struck by the fact that in many
cases, II not In most, their rare gnts
were disclosed after period OF failure
and defeat. Milton's blindness did not
hinder him from producing one OF the
greatest allegories the world has known.
nor did Bedford gaol restrict Bunyan
in his pilgrimage. Dante's exile was
contributing factor in the production OF
his immortal work. Robert Louis
Stevenson, combating disease that
eventually destroyed him in the prime
of his manhood, wrote his finest verse

and then an overplus agregating s720,-

the repeal bill Of Representative Ray
burn. be relieved of this Indebtedness,
despite the fact that they would not
have been accumulating anything were
not their earnings high. The roads
which have been limping along making
less than 6 per cent-some only or 2
per cent-have had nothing subject to
recapture and, therefore. would have no
part in the gift involved in the repeal
measure.
Who Should Get Rebate.
Here arises a new question. II the
money is returned should these rail-
roads be permitted to keep It? In any
money originally was paid by the ship
pers. The Atchison, Topeka g. Santa
Fe. for example. is one Of the big trunk
lines earning recapture excess. II the
Government refunds this debt, the ques-
tion arises. should not the railroad, IN
turn, refund proportionate amount to
the shippers who paid the freight bills?
A cloud OF litigation, instigated by the
shippers, which would congest court
dockets for years would likely follow
repeal.
A substitute measure has been offered
by Representative NelBon ot Wisconsin.
His plan does not csIl FIR repeal bu.

No German Monarchy.

1t will be with q sigh OF satisfaction
pledge by the militarist aristocrat gov
ernment of Germany that it does not
contemplate the restoration Of the mon
archy. With the vons, the junkers and
the generals with which the Papen-
Schleicher successor to the Bruening
regime bristles, there was plenty of
ground for fear that the new cabinet
looks with something more than . SYM
pathetic eye upon the substitution Of q
sceptered sway for the rule Of the re-
public.
From the authentic lips of Baron
Wilhelm Won Gayl. minister Of the in
terror, the Reichsrat, or upper house Of
Germany, has just heard words which
on their face evidence the Papen min
istry's loyalty to the Weimar constitu-
ton. In the midst Of Germany's pres
ent struggle for existence Baron Won
Gayl declares rumors Of return to the
monarchy are foolish and therefore
harmful"
The minister of the interior does not
give a blank check for the future. He
suggests rather that ideas of q mon
archy are simply not things on which
any German government Of this day
and hour will squander thought or en-
ergy. The Reich has other and more
pressing tasks. Monarchy or republic, -
says Baron Won Gayl. is not Q question
that our time. let alone the present gov
ernment is called upon to solve"
There is here the veiled suggestion
that what may not be feasible Is to to-
day may come within the sphere OF the
practicable tomorrow. All that the
Papen government wants the world to
be sure about. apparently. Is that there
Is no plan to precipitate the Reich back
into what Hohenzollern idolators nc
doubt still consider the royal pomp and
glory indispensable to Germanys safety
and welfare.
Il shall be faithful to the oath Of
allegiance to the constitution that I
swore before President Won Hinden-
burg" Baron Won Gayl asserts, and
the chancellor and the other ministers
are In agreement with me-"
Meantime this influential spokesman
dHcloses that one Of the cabinets first
tasks will be to propose certain amend
ments to the constitution, in order Ito
bring it into line with developments in
recent years" Time only can tell what
lies back Of these cryptic words. They
may mean that the government seeks
wider powers for curbing such develop
ments" as Hitler. They may denote 4
program for clothing either the Presi-
dent or the chancellor, or both, with
even more dictatorial prerosatives thar

contemplate ways and means for meeting
in some form not now provided, the
sudden contingency Of the venerable
Hindenburg's disappearance from the
scene. He Is eighty-five years old.
