Nothing Wild
About the Plan

A year ago thoughtful
men, in industry and out,
were agreed that serious
consideration must be given
ways and means to prevent
occurrences Of present en-
ployment conditions, through
new methods and drastic re-
forms. Then came the tragic
succession of bank failures
and bankruptcies, and the
desperate plight Of railroads,
and government began to
concentrate on these prob
lens. In the interval the
unemployment problem has
been forgotten.
In the meanwhile, it has
grown worse.
One year ago there were
100000 breadwinners on
the streets; today there are
more than 100000.
And months ago both
Senator Wagner and Sena-
tor La Toilette proposed the
floating of a prosperity loan
to put a vast army of the
jobless to work on public
construction; and nothing
has been done.

with common sense and

RUN AWAY FROM THAT
PROBLEM.
Each time you give way to
laziness or cowardice; each
time you tell a white ie," or
do some malicious little act,
or think a filthy thought, or
make an excuse for yourself, or
pretend to be something you
aren't
Each time you are making
up your mind for all the rest
Of your life!
Good people do not become
good by single righteous acts.
Bad people do not become bad
by isolated vicious decisions.
Good people become good as
the result Of a multitude OF
unconsidered, seemingly forgot
ten, decent deeds.
Bad people become bad as
the result Of countless cow
ardly, dishonest, greedy, vulgar,
venomous acts, each one OF
which seemed trivial and ex-
cusable at the time it was
committed.
"Well, that isn't a very hope

An Easy Answer
That's an easy one to an
swer. # the fool things Of
the past can bind you, so can
the fine things Of the present.
You are making up your
mind as much today as you
were ten years ago. You aren't
making it up quite as freely,
for you are carrying the mark
of all those old decisions and
evasions; but you're only
marked; you're not paralyzed.
You are still a free man. You
can still do the things your

Wagner: Champion of
Social Justice
Claude G.. BOUers

TN a statement setting
l. forth his constructive
plan on unemployment in
surance, Senator Wagner
had the courage and honesty
to say what every one is
thinking:
Sound business and good
conscience both command
us, in dealing with unem-
ployment, to abandon t h 9
methods Of poor relief, with
its ballyhoo, it's made
quacy, inequality and un-
certainty, which are a drain
on the sympathy Of the
giver and q strain on the
character of the taker."
Agreeing with every word,
it is enough to accept the
charge Of inadequacy-which
surely has been demonstrated
by this time. !
The Clothing Relief Divi-
sion Of the Emergency Un-
employment Org a nization.
has just announced that
within two weeks it must
abandon its distribution Of
clothing to those in need Of
it because Of the exhaustion
Of funds.
The job-drive, launched in
February under the auspices
of powerful organizations
with the view to getting
jobs for a million men, is to
be abandoned without hav-
ing reached its goal. 1t is
claimed that, through this
drive, 668,607 men have been
given jobs. We do not
doubt it at all, but we as
sumo, with reason, that this
means great numbers given
jobs for a week or a month.
With the records showing
a decided increase in unem-
ployment within this period,
it is impossible to conclude
that 668,607 men have been
given permanent jobs.
And now a mass meeting
has been called to protest
against the I" "inadequacy"
Of the $5,OOO,OOO appropria-
tion by the City of New
York. It is inadequate, but
millions previously have been
appropriated by that NUM-
cipal government, and it no
longer can afford to make
larger appropriations.
And so it is throughout
the land.

Senator Explains
His Insurance Plan
Of more permanent impor-
tance is the Senator Wag-
ner plan for unemployment
insurance-similar in pur-
pose to that adopted by
most great civilized coun-
tries. When it was first
proposed it was pounced
upon as "socialistic," >" al
though Bismarck, who hated
socialism, adopted it during
his regime. Then the foes
of the plan insisted that,
while unemployment insur-
ance may be good, it should
be left entirely to the indi-
vidual industries to adopt
or reject it. This was tanta-
mount to throwing it over
board. Now it is announced
that an agreement has been
reached by the Senate COM
mittee to recommend COM
pulsory unemployment in
surance by the States.
This does not mean that
the States are to enter the
insurance business.
Or that the States are to
contribute to the insurance
fund out Of the public treas
ury.
Senator Wagner ex-
planned:
"All that a system Of
compulsory insurance nee
essarily involves is that the
employer is under statu-
tory obligation to provide
insurance or reserves to
protect his employees against
a stated period Of unemploy.
ment.
And that must come, de-
spite the bourbons and poll
ticians.
