VETS To FORCE
ISSUE BEFORE
Conventions

II Mondays test vote on pro-
hibition in the House is any cri-
terion, both the Republican and
Democratic national conventions
in June are going to be hard
put to fight off some sort of a
wet plank in their respective plat
forms.
Organized vets in both parties
are going to Chicago with fire in
their eyes to wage bitter battle
for platform expressions against
prohibition. Harrassed party lead
ers, hoping for harmony, are ex-
hibiting signs of uneaSineSs.
Party division over prohibition
hitherto has been regarded as
principally a Democratic afflic-
ton, but the House vote showed
the Republicans equally. if not
more, affected. Analysis of Mon
days vote revealed there is little,
If any, difference in the wet-dry
split as between the parties. The
Democrats divided ia dry and
90 wet; the Republicans 112 dry
and 81 wet. Sharper cleavage
could hardly be imagined.
Translation of the wet votes in
terms of convention delegates is
somewhat difficult, but, taking
the Monday vote as a barometer,
the vets point out that, as ap-
piled to the Republicans, 18
States rolled up the great bulk
of the party wet votes in the
House. And, significantly enough,
these States could command more
than a majority of the delegates
who will sit in the Republican
convention next June.

LIVING COSTS
CLOSE TO INCOME
Prices Are Generally Reduc-
ed To Meet The Chang
ed Conditions
HOW 1T IS FIGURED

Undergraduates compilation of
statistics regarding present-day in
comes, living costs. new prices of
commodities. farm produce, mate
rails of all kinds. etc, when com
pared with the standards immedi-
ately preceding the general bust
ness and Industrial slump of 1929,
provide an interesting picture. This
is particularly true when analyzing
the various prices which disclose
how they closely parallel the reduc-
tiOn of the national income which
started its downward slide in 1890.
Using the 1929 American national
income of $50, 100000 as the ba-
sis, comparison with the national
income of $7O,S14,O00,O0O in 1880
shows loss of IS per cent, or $16,-
00O,O0O,000. The reduction of the
1881 income showed a still greater
drop, being 80 per cent, or $34,133.-
100000 less than 1929.
In 1881 began the serious revamp-
ing of prices to meet reduced in
comes, and with the estimated 1882
national income placed at $4,000
100000, or 50 per cent off from 1929,
even further reductions have result
ed. Clothing, foodstuffs of all kinds,
rents, real estate, fuel, rail, bus,
steamship and air transportation,
tools, pant equipment, building ma
terials. raw materials-in fact, al
most every item used by the Ameri-
can family, or in business and in
dustry. have strived to meet this
reduction.
For example, farm products of all
kinds disclose that 1882 prices are
60 per cent under the 1920 aver
age; foodstuffs, one of the most I'M
portant Of all items. shows a de-
crease Of IS per cent from 1929
levels; average decrease in the VA
rious types of fuel range from IL
to 50 per cent less than three years
ago; textile products are more than
40 per cent lower; hides and leath-
er products are Al per cent lower,
which is reflected in the lower re-
tail prices Of footwear: raw mate
riaIs Of all kinds show a decrease
Of 45 per cent; clothing is - per
cent off-in fact, taking all the i'm
portant living items at their current
price basis, and comparing the re-
duction with the difference in the
national incomes of those years, it
is readily apparent that every e.
fort is being made to keep com
modify prices as close to national
income levels as possible.

ployment? Why can't we fix the
value of gold in terms of commodi-
ties? Our State is appropriating
money for relief of the unemploy-
ed Are we starting to wreck
those peoples lives by the dole sys-
tenn, or are we planning to help
them permanently? I am told by
member of the investigating
commission that five cents per
meal per person is the allowance.
Also I am told that if all the in
dustries of Wilmington were to
start up, there would still be 5000
unemployed in that city. Such a
statement indicates that many of
these people should be gotten out
of the city "for keeps" Most of
our farmers have plenty of food,
shelter and fuel, but no money.
How many farmers would take one
person, how many would take two
persons, and how many would take
a family for a period of time, pro-
vided those persons helped with the
farm chores and other work, and
provided the State used part of the
relief money to pay the farmers
five dollars per month for each per-
son? At this rate, S1OOO,00O
would take care of 10000 persons
for five months, and at the same
time place S1,OOO,OOO cash in the
hands of our farmers. Such a plan
would help the unemployed (per-
haps permanently would get them
out of the city, and would also in
crease the purchasing power of the
farmers by just that much. Could
such an idea be worked out? Per
haps partly, anyhow It is basicIy
economic, and ought to be worth
considering. Frank H. Shakes

LIFE MARGIN IN
CRASH BY INCHES
Scientist Uses Ruler I'm Auto
mobile Collision To Make
His Deductions
SAFETY ABOUT 2S INCHES

State College. Pa.-The differ
ence between death In head-on
collision in an automobile travelling
30 miles an hour and safety is
about twenty-eight inches
The accident which proves this,
and the notifications in motor ears
construction which il suggests. are
described by n. T. Yeagley. physi-
eist of Pennsylvania State college.
Il was climbing the side of Nit
tany mountain" he says, when a
ear came around a curve at 30-miIe
speed. with the driver asleep at the
wheel.
1t dashed head-on into a CON
crete abutment. Though the car
was a total wreck. its driver was
only bruised
The scientist made measurements
to account for the seeming miracle,
and found it was no miracle at all.
Examination revealed first that
the car moved about two feet be-
tween the time the bumper hit the
concrete and complete stOppage.
The steering wheel. which had
supported the head, arms and chest
of the sleeping driver. had been
bent forward about six inches.
"From this" says Mr.. Yeagley,
''it is apparent that the man was
stopped through a distance of about
21a feet go inches). This is about
the same as falling into a fireman's
net from the fourth floor"
He calculated that any person sit
ting in the front seat beside the
driver must have pitched forward
at nearly full car speed across the
space between him and the wind
shield.
BY the time the passenger struck
these objects the car would have
been so nearly stopped that his
body would have only about two
inches to travel forward while there
was still left any of the cushioning
forward motion of the car.
This impact, Mr.. Yeagley ealcu-
lates, would be a probable killing
force" It is 2S inches less than
the driver had for stopping.
The scientist observed that often
the driver escapes injury, while a
passenger is killed.

BALANCING THE BUDGET

Now that the President has
proposed serious slasheS in
public expenditures in order
to balance the budget many
are eager to know where the
cuts will be, and the like. One
Washington publication, which
processes to penetrate the
mental maneuve1ings Of po-
litical potentates, has printed
a list Of the expenses ION the
side"- how Congressman and
Senators are allowed heavy
mileage and what appears to
be large amounts for special
trips, sums for tips, and sim
liar things. It is asserted,
that the lawmakers, if they
are thrifty, can put aside a
considerable sum from these
large allowances, the allow
ances in many instances being
far above what is really need
ed. AS we say, we do not
know how true the statements
are, but if they are half true
these lawmakers, instead Of
investigating expenses in var
ious states for this OF that
purpose had better investigate
themselves.

UNCERTAINTY VS..
THE DEPRESSION
Continued From Page One)

by means of a ratio between five
year gold production and commod-
ity production, with adjustments
at regular intervals. Then let in
ternational gold values be regulat-
ed by tariffs. At present we have
merely created an unnatural de-
mand for gold. What is the result :?
Depression and Disaster. Just the
same result that always will follow
an interference with Natural Law.
For some fifty percent of the time,
American business is upset by po-
litical agitation and uncertainty.
both before and after elections.
About four percent OF the people
are active politicians who make a
bushes of politics; twenty per
cent of the people are more or less
active politically at election times,
the other eighty percent of the
people are too busy trying to make
living to do much more than
just vote for candidates who have
been nominated by the profession
al politicians. Why must the bus
mess of all the people suffer for
fifty percent of the time in order
to give employment to the four
percent who are professional poll
ticians, and to help out the inter
ests for which they usually work I?
It is the agitation and uncertainty
that hurts business, not the diff
ference between parties and party
platforms. Present day politics all
sifts down to a sort of dog fight"
between Political Bosses. There
is a lot of barking and snarling
and growing that just upsets bus
ines more and more Politics al
ways does more harm than good,
no matter which side wins. In the
end it is business, both big business
and little business, that suffers and
loses. Likewise it is the uncer-
tainty of values that prolongs the

steel, oil, and other commodities
are just as useful and valuable to
human life as they ever were;
but in terms Of perfectly useless,
gold, they have very uncertain
and much changing value This
uncertainty is the one great thing
that causes financial fear with the
resultant prolonging Of this great
depression in business. There is no
lack of money Our government is
able to borrow at a fraction of one
percent interest, yet industry con-
tinues to stagnate. The govern
ment will pay in useless gold. In
dustry will pay by producing use
full commodities. 1t seems almost
ridiculous for a civilized nation to
be tied up by this uncertain rela-
tionship between useless gold and
useful commodities. Why do we
need political agitation and politi-
cal parties anyhow? Why can't
we always vote for the man, not
for the party? Why can't we have
a few statesmen instead of so
many politicians? Why must we
have SO many uncertainties to up
set business Why don't we save
