Slander: CardOZO
Blu Claude G.. BOWers

A FTER all the hue and
Acry, utterly insincere
and dishonest, about New
York city being headed for
bankruptcy because of Tam
many and Mayor Walkers
administration, we find
that the city's $1O0,000,O0
bond issue was snatched up
eagerly, by people who
know their business, in two
hours and that the over
subscription was 100 per
cent. Evidently the intelli-
gent know that the loose
slander was in the Pick
wickian or political sense.
The drastic cut in the i'm
provement plans of the
Walker administration fail
to disclose that anything
planned, and now tempo
rarily abandoned, was bad
or even unnecessary under
normal conditions. Every
public improvement planned,
and now postponed, is
needed. Many children s
Fairgrounds will have to go
over. The Unprecedented
hard times, with the heavy
obligations imposed by char
ity and the loss of income
because incomes have been
reduced and men are unable
to pay, has brought to New
York city precisely the same
problem that the national
Administration faces with
its deficit and that the
States face and munlclpall-
ties everywhere.
But New York's bonds re-
main the best in the world;
and the proof is in the
crush to get them at a
premium, with 100 per cent
more offers than can be ac-
cepted.

Beauty and GimcrackS
A Break in the MonotOny

Senator Reed Smoot finds that the State War and Navy
Building is covered with gimcracks and spizzerinktums
Naturally he and of his colleagues to them off,
even at a cost of about $4,000000.
But the gmcracks and spzzernktums have their defenders
especially when it would cost $40000oO to them off
When the original provision for remodeng the State War
and Navy Building went through there less gen.
eral agreement that should be brought into harmony with
the Treasury Building
But beauty in the of the behoder and since that time
many congressional eyes have looked upon the building and
found it not wanting in esthetic qualities.
So appears that the gmcracks and spizzernktums will
main and there will be at least building which will break

Prosperity Loan
Easy to Float

So, too, the nation could
float a $5,OOO,OOO,OO pros
perity loan and dispose of the
bonds. No one believes that
the United States is bank
rupt. 1t remains, in its re-
sources, the richest country
in the world. The fact that
some of the old bonds not
due for years are selling
slightly below par only
measures the stupidity of
hysteria and panic. Congress
has now about completed the
Administrations progra m
for relief-by setting aside
billions of dollars despite the
deficit, to give financial as,
sistance to the bankers and
industrialists. This is not
challenged. But the Admin
istration s relief plan will not
increase commodity and Sc
curity prices, nor give us the
increase in purchasing power
among the people upon
which depends the restora-
ton Of prosperity or of nor
NAL conditions.
The prosperity loan will do
that very thing.
Senator La Toilette estl-
mates that it will furnish
work directly for 100000
of the unemployed-and give
them wages to spend. The
enormous public work to be
done, under the loan, indi-
rectly, will give employment
to another vast army by in
creasing the demand on in
dustries. The wages lost and
in this way restored would
be spent with the merchants
whose problem is more
trade.
The primary reason for
our present condition is that
during the hard times $lo,-
OO0,000,000 in wages and sal
aries have been wiped out.
Prosperity means the re-
sumption Of trade; trade
means the restoration of
wages, and a prosperity loan
will put millions on the pay
roll again.

LISTEN, WORLD!
By Elsie Robinson

in order to entice them into
domestic slavery. AND AS
LONG AS ECONOMIC IN
EQUALITY CONTINUES, THIS
LYING WILL PERSIST AND
YOU WILL GLORIFY 1T BY
CALLING 1T ROMANCE.
But when men and women
are really equal, as they are
under the Soviet, there will be
no reason for lying. Then both
sexes will have equal advan.
tage, equal privilege and it will
be impossible for them to bind
or fool each other. AND THAT
WILL PUT AN END TO RO-
NANCE"
That's how the Russians feel
about Romance and they put
their feeling into practice. You'll
find few Love Confessions on
Moscow magazine stands. few
romances on Russian stages or
movies.
Even the poets write of
tractors and pile drivers in
stead of twilights and palpita-
tions. WORK is the Russians
favorite plot. . THE FTVE-YEAR
PLAN is his theme song. Moon
struck Lovers are laughed at. If
they continue to put personal
passion before Soviet need, they
are punished. 1t is a crime,
comparable to treason, to love
your wife too much in Russia!
And thus Stain expects to
abolish Romance. I wonder!
Is Romance just a case of a
Couple of Liars and a Pocket
book? Does Bessie tell her Bill
that she's better than she is.
simply because she is scheming
to get a Meal Ticket? Does
Bill go around impersonating
Alexander the Great just be-
cause he's trying to put a swift
one over on the little girl?
Miracle of Love
Not a bit of it! Bessie tells
Bill that she is better than she
is because, touched by the sud-
den, lovely miracle of love she
wants to be better than she
is. And poor old Bill, drudging
down in the packing room at
$40 per, makes grand gestures
because he'd give his eye teeth
to be brave and handsome and
famous for his Lovely Lady's
sake.
A Pipe Dream? Perhapsl But
it is the sort of pipe dream
that has made men out of
monkeys and may-IF WE LIVE
LONG ENOUGH AND HAND
SOMELY ENOUGH TO KID
OURSELVES INTO ACTION
yet make gods out of men.
So I'm thinking that some
one should tell Mr.. Stain to
lay off Romance. Perhaps he
knows a lot about bombs and
Bolsheviks but he certainly
needs to brush up on love.
Romance go? Never! For
romance isn't a greedy hand
grabbing for money. ROMANCE
IS A HUNGRY HEART REACH

Infatuation? That's different.
Infatuation is a pleasant trick
whereby Nature perpetuates
the species. Let Nature have
her little tricks. But Romance
must go! For Romance, accord
ing to the Russians, is a snare
and a delusion. "A CAPITAL
ISTIC TRICK! Romance-say
they-iS based, not on the need
of the heart but on the need of
the pocketbook. 1t is the bait
whereby a woman obtains for
herself a sturdy provider and a
man obtains for himself an un-
paid houSekeeper and COM
panion. And, like all other
capitalistic devices, it is full of
lies. :.,,

they mean a word of them?

money, because the money
is not being used by the
industrial and commercial
forces; and these cannot
use the money because Tom,
Dick and Harry, the men
at the base, are unable to
buy, and thus create a de-
mand on the industries and
they are unable to buy be-
cause they have no jobs;
and until a way is found to
put breadwinners and spend
ers to work they will be
unable to buy.
The Administration s re-
lief plans are all right as
far as they go; but they do
not go to the millions at the
base. 1t has no plan to put
men back to work and no
plan to feed the millions

Cardozo Foremost
As American Jurist

The New York Bar Asso-
citation has urged the ap-
pointment of Judge Benja-
min N. Cardozo to the seat
in the Supreme Court made
vacant by the resignation OF
Justice Holmes. 1t must i'm
press the average man as re-
markable that this appoint
ment is not made. By COM
mon consent of bench, bar and
laymen, Cardozo is the fore
most American jurist not
now on the Supreme Bench
of the United States. No
one, thinking of the court
alone, suggests one reason
a against his appointment
Every great lawyer of both
parties is agreed that he
would be an ideal successor
to the great liberal JunSt
who retires.
Why, then, the quandary
of the President?
The American people ex-
pect that the successor OF
Holmes shall be a liberal and
a great jurist. Cardozo is
both. And the appointment
of a reactionary would be
tragedy to the country and
to the court. We have so
much regard for the Su-
preme Court that we hope IN
the event Of the selection Of a
reactionary the Senate will
refuse to confirm. That IS
the manifest duty Of the
Senate.
The fact that Cardozo is a
Democrat is immaterlal. NO
one is thinking of his politics
unless it is the President and
his advisors; every one else
is thinking of him as a lib
eral, who is a very great
jurist with a well-thought-
out philosophy of the law.
Mark Sullivan, the CORE
spondent closest to the Presl-
dent, writes at length to pro-
test against the Senate in
jecting "politics" into the
choice of justices of the
highest court. There is no
politics involved now, and il
there was politics in the case
of Judge Parker it was be-
cause he was nominated as a
reward for political services.

economic defenses and take upon ourselves further fnan-
cial burdens, Europe is going to go right on crlslslng,
sink and take us down with her.
Thus pretense of European inability to pay is a fraud.
PAYMENTS due the United States from Europe under the
settlement are only two and a half per cent of the amount
Europe pays this country per year on all accounts, these
payments, aggregating ten billion dollars, being offset
by payments we make Europe on all accounts. The con-
tinuance Of debt payments agreed upon by France would
cost each Frenchman $125 a year. The annual burden
is little greater in any case, much less in some, than this
per capita burden on France. Within the last six months
the United States, governmentally and thru private bank
ers, has advanced new loans and postponed old obligations
in Germany and England to the amount Of a billion and a
quarter, or five times as much as the annual payments
due on debt account, and that payment Of a quarter bill
lion has been postponed thru the moratorium. Still goes
up the cry: "Giveo or we perish" We have been doing
this for a dozen years, with what result to ourselves or tc
Europe?
It is entirely clear at this time that European banking
interests have determined to make the United States pay
the German indemnities, and that this movement is power
fully supported in the United States.

the high school board. The new
law makes the county superintend-
ent a member of the high school
board. As county superintendent,
she is paid a salary of $1,000 per
year, and is furnished a deputy be-
sides. The law makes no provision
that she should be paid extra for
acting as secretary of the board.
Reference was also made in the
same editorial, that the Legislature
has the powers to effect the econo-
mics in running a government. The
facts are that 90 per cent of the

Only 8 per cent of our tax money

We heartily favor the sugges-
tion made by the Carbon County

abolishing at least of the so pei
cent boards, and commissioners;
also favoring the reduction of some
of their salaries. Starting from the
chancellor, who draws the salary

go down the line. Then, perhaps
