The Washington
- Scene -
BY LAWRENCE TODD

WASHINGTON-(F.P.)-I every
branch of the federal government
service there was to be observed a
letting-up of political repression,
after President Hoover's speech Oct.
81 in Madison Square Garden. The
great majority who were going to
vote for Roosevelt or Thomas, and
even the scattered few scientists and
scholars who would, if they voted,
cast their ballots for Foster, began
to relax the padlocks upon their
tongues. The worst threat from
the Hoover administration had gone
on the air. People still lived and
worked and planned for tomorrow.
Government buildings still stood on
their foundations. Hoover was only
n week from oblivion, and the
long-terrified public servants could
laugh. Go through the city from
the Bureau of Standards to the NUM-
tons building and the Library of
Congress, you could scarcely find a
salaried official in the civil service
who did not look happier at the i'm
pending relief from the individualism
of Herbert Hoover.
A high official in the State de-
partment talked quietly-and in con-
fidence-of the prospect for the
United States. He is a Republican,
a former university professor. He
reads a good deal about hunger
marches, here and abroad. He is an
expert on American foreign trade,
He has seen it slip %ruinously down,
in the three years of economic col
lapse, while factories, farms, mines,
railroads, steamship l~ines-every part

RAIL LABOR RE-
N ATTACK
ON WAGES

WASHINGTON-(F. P.) y Senator
Peter Norbeck of South Dakota, who
voted to confirm Judge Parker, has
the rail labor organizations fighting
hard against his reelection. A
front-page article in Labor" the
rail labor political organ, dated Nov,
z, says that Norbeck is "up to his
old tricks" telling rural audiences
that the farmers troubles arise from
high wages paid to railway workers,
"Time and time again." it says,
che has given u%tterance to the same
~viciously false propaganda on the
floor of the Senate. He has ignored
the reports of half a dozen official
bodies which have investigated rail
road wages, and which in every in
stance have reported that railroad
workers were underpaid, not over
paid"

see that the people shall not die of
starvation, the government of the
United States has always been as
sumed to hold itself responsible for
p oviding school opportunities for
its coming citizens. The fact that
the golden age of mass production
in industry and of manipulation of
the government by huge corporations
has been followed by a withdrawal
of financial support from the free
public schools-a course adopted by
the Macdonald Tory government in
England-is one of the most sig
nificant developments Of the Hoover
era, in the opinion of professional
educators.

nounced the smashing of the bonus
army in Washington by Hoover's
use of gas and ~bayonets.
In the official statement on the
grant of S667,420 to New Hampshire
for relief of restitution was contained
the first news the capital had re-
ceived from any official source as to
the suffering which the depression
had brought to the workers in that
state.
Local political subdivisions of the
state are said to be virtually with
out funds available for relief at this
time, and under the law unable to
provide such funds" the R. F. G. de-
clared. at was certified that no
funds under existing statutes are now
available in the state treasury for
poor relief, and that no such funds
can be made available under exist
ing statutes. The legislature will
meet in January, next"
So granite-faced New Hampshire,
which sends Senator Moses to Wash
ington to sneer at the need of the
unemployed for food, has no law
under which her own state revenues
can be used to feed the starving.
This triumph of the organized en-
ployers in the legislature may have
its reaction in the defeat of Moses
and the Republican governor this
year.

PENNSYLVANIA'S HUNGRY JOBLESS
GET ANOTHER DOLE

WASHINGTON-(F.P.)- Am addi-
tional $5,462, 265 of emergency relief
funds was allotted to Pennsylvania,
for use in 60 counties during No
vember, by a reluctant decision Of
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton on Nov. a.. On that day grants
were made to New Hampshire, In
diana, and Washington as well. 1t
happened that in all these four states
the Hoover administration and its
Republican senators - Davis, Moses,
Watson and Jones-were in danger
Gus political situation, and that this
was the last day on which a grant
of relief funds would be effective,
in softening the voters resentment
at the G. o. P. policy of "let 'em
starve."
In a statement on the Pennsylvania
allotment, which supplements earli-
er grants amounting to $~5,842,1S3,
the R. F. G.. said: "The need for
further action by the state and po-
litical subdivisions at the earliest
possible moment is apparent when it
is realized that the supporting in
formation supplied by the Governor
of Pennsylvania, and which forms
the basis of the application for fed
eral funds for November, shows that
approximately one-sixth of all the
families in the state (not including
those receiving only Red Cross flour
are in need of relief and that federal
funds are necessary to supplement
local and state funds in GO of the 81
counties of the state. The Importance
of early action is also emphasized
by the statement made by the Gov
ernor, Oct. rs, to the effect that
any action of the legislature meet

O.-Herman L. Ekern,

SCHOOLSSACRIFICEDT ODEPRESSION
FIRST TIME IN i. S.

F.P.)-Scho oil
opportunities for American children
are being sacrificed, for the first
time during a depression.
Throughout the history of the
United States, according to a bulle-
tin issued Nov. A by the National
Education Association from its Wash
ington headquarters, no previous
period of hard times has been per-
mitted to interfere with the extern
sion of free education. The past
two years have been the first in
which general economic distress has
been passed along to the Gripping
of the schools. This change for the
worse has occurred at the very time
when great increases in enrolment
are taking place-due to the lack of
jobs for the older boys and girls.
"About three out of every four
cities throughout the United States
are attempting to operate on a
smaller school budget this year than
last year," the bulletin states. "Pres-
ent estimates are that 1882 school
budgets were about A per cent below
1881, and that 1888 will show addi-
tional cuts averaging about 8 per
cent. Such retrenchment cannot con-
tinue indefinitely if the schools are
to perform their important functions
with reasonable success.
"The curtailment Of educational
support which has marked the past
two years stands in sharp contrast
to the policy followed in previous
periods of economic recession. Dur
ing the 1837-43 depression public
school support, both legislative and
financial, increased in most states
outside the slave-holding region. I'm
der the leadership of Horace Mann,
school revenues in Massachusetts in
creased 35 per cent in the 7-year
period, and similar gains were reg
istered in other states. During and
following the depression of 1873-78
school expenditures rose about So
per cent. The panic of '93 and the
business recession which followed it
until 1898 did not bring about ma
terial reductions in expenditures fol-
public education. Teachers salaries
rose slightly, school opportunities
were extended, and the increase in
expenditures for schools outran the
increase in property values. Similar
statements might be made for the
depressions Of 1907 and 1921.
"The fact remains that the present
depression is the first one in which
school support has been generally
reduced. This fact constitutes g
challenge to educational Leadership
which cannot be ignored.
1.-THE proportion of municipal ex-
penditures devoted to education is
lower now than at any time since
1922"
In its early years, the American
labor movement made the extension
of the free public school system one
of its first demands. Jeffersoniar

cial guardianship over the free schoo
