The poor girl must have her difficulties but when you
think of lot of people this side of the pond

The Hoover Plan
Will Not Pass

But the President has con-
cluded that money may be
loaned to prevent starva-
tion-provided it is paid
back to the National Gov
ernment by States and mu-
inequalities. It is possible
that States and municipali-
ties, up against the same
deficits as the Federal Gov
ernment, may be no more
inclined to assume the bur-
den than the nations Gov
ernment in Washington.
The welfare organizations
have been utterly swamped.
Unless there is governmental
aid of some sort the people
will starve. The hungry
are not much impressed by
the passing Of the buck be-
tween governmental units.
Organized society, repre-
sented by the Federal Gov
ernment, is now put to the
test, in the minds Of mil
lions. If Congress adjourns
with nothing done, we are
afraid there will be more
marching on the Capital.
The Hoover plan will not
pass Congress. The Garner
bill has passed the House;

reached. The bill that reaches

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

Femmes WHO just gadded
about were either shiftless Or
Sh-h! Sh-h!
In short, an idle woman had
exactly the same rating as an
idle man, which was only one
grade removed from that OF
common hosS thief.
But nowadays-lady loafers
are as common as Woodticks in
May, and, I suspect, just about
as big a blight on the body
polite. Every apartment house,
every hotel lobby, every depart
ment store or movie is jammed
with them, "lolligagging"
around, killing time, trying to
start a little amusement for
themselves, or dig up thrill.
In fact, if you're a smart
girl, you're supposed to be idle
and stay that way. "Only saps
work. has become the smart
feminine slogan of 1882. Girls
were born to ''be glorifled,"
not to fill jobs; and any poor
young thing who has to earn
a living, either by working in
an office or in her husbands
home, is regarded with big
means of pity both by herself
and the rest of the female sex.
Clarifying IdleneSs
Which, of course, we might
have expected. Look at our
films! Read our popular mag
azines! Do you behold our
beautiful heroine at the gas
range, the kitchen sink, the
sewing machine, the market
counter? No, you don't. Unless
she's a nitwit, Maizie, the
Beautiful Cloak Girl, invariably
ends by loafing around in a
penthouse negligee or a Miami
fig leaf.
Even the ads spread the glad
tidings. Look 'em over! What,
according to them, is the most
terrible tragedy that can hap
pen to a sweet young woman?
Dishwater hands, dearie! Hang
nails! That, to hear the ads
tell it, is why ladies leave home,
and husbands go into the dog
house.
So bright gals in 1882 do
nothing-and do it all the
time. Wherefore I'm moved
to ponder-just where do they
go from here? What happens
to the. female sex if you turn
it into tramp.
I know what happens to a
man if he is idle. He goes to
the dogs. I know what would
happen to me if I were idle. I
would raise Cain.
So-what's the answer?
Can a woman be a play girl
and still know the value of
work; know the meaning of
patience, courage, self sacri-
flee. loyalty, cooperation?
Can females be loafers, and
still be self-respecting citizens,
reliable wives, real mothers?
ARE IDLE WOMEN WORTH
THEIR UPKEEP, OR. ARE
THEY COMMON TRAMPS?

Stand By The House
It's Action On Economy Preferable

The issue has been joined the economy bill
The Senate has declared for general reduction Govern

The House declared for general reduction in Govern

The conferees upon the bill will have to decide which of
these two preferable work out compromise between
them

Senate and that Which the approval of the
House there be only choice.
That choice is the cut of II cent after GllOtO

The conferees on the part of the House OiH be
iereIict in their duty they yield to the position
taken by the Senate.
The House as whole voted the furlough plan and
sapproved it. It's representatives in the conference must
bear that vote in mind
The human element involved in the administration of the
furough plan would give rise to all sorts of evils.
The very foundation OF the Civil Service system would be
threatened
The Senate attempted set up safeguards around the
system adopting the plan but these safeguards are OF
doubtful strength.
Bureau chiefs and other petty officials would obtain i'm
power their subordinates the furough plan
These chiefs would have in their authority to say when
and how urloughs would be takenimited only by the
La Toilette provision of the b provision with admirable
purpose but with doubtful practicability.
In adopting the furough plan the Senate chose the lesser
of two evils with which it confronted

the furlough plan prevailed in that body.
But the of decent treatment of the Working
UOOuId suffer bloW if the furlough

slight cut Which the House had previously adopted
When the House granted the exemption $4,000 it demon
Sraed its unwngness to nfict punishment upon the lower
paid workerpunishment for condition for which those
workers are in no way to blame
The sensible thing for the Congress to do in
sidering this problem of econonzing at the expense
of the Government employees uOud be to folloW the
action Which the Senate took in regard to the pro-
posal to cut the compensation of UeteranS.
The Senate threW out those proposals. but agreed
that since there might exist inequities in the
compensation allowances the Whole matter should
be gone into by special committee Which Would
hear all sides.
That is uOhnt should be done in regard to GoU-
ernn,ent salaries before they arbitrarily cut.
Of course it won't be DONE There will be some kind of
because the politicians think that political conditions
require it.
But the cut should be as painless as possible.
The House proposal is nearly painless be any
operation upon the pocketbook.

Some of us could afford. maids

us couldn't. But, regardless of

THIS week the Garner
Il bill passed in the House
providing a bond issue to
create work; and the Wag-
ner bill in the Senate may
also pass this week. 1t is
because Of these measures
that Mr.. Hoover has finally
evolved a plan Of his own.
Others lead-he follows.
But he follows in this in
stance for the purpose of
making the relief plans to
be adopted as bromidic as
possible.
The Administration still
believes in business as
usual" and the trouble is
that there is scarcely any
business at all. There is no
business because there is
no purchasing power in the
thirty-six million people in
volved in unemployment.
There will be no purchasing
power, and consequently
little business, until these
men get work. And depres-
sion is not stationary-it
either begins to lift or to
deepen. It is deepening, be-
cause nothing has been done
by the National Government
to stimulate employment.
Mr.. Hoover proposes to
give no work, however de-
sirable it may be, or how
ever necessary to meet the
necessities, unless the work
pays in money. This cuts
out road building, which
offers the best field for en-
ployment on a large scale.
And he does not have
enough confidence in the
future of America to bond
a loan. He cannot under
stand that we are in more
peril now than during any
war;.
Think Of it!-in days Of
peace the taxes, just levied,
are heavier than when we
were in the War Of the
World. This is a greater
war than we ever waged; ;
but our rulers imagine we
can win this war without
resorting to any Of the
drastic methods necessary
in the less serious wars Of
battlefields.

the measure passed, the re-
sponsibility will rest on him
and it will be a heavy
burden.
What Was
Lacking?
Mr.. Hoover has been
pushed on the unemploy-
ment problem. He pulls
backward as he steps for
ward.
And so, too, with the pro-
hibition question which is
causing more immediate con-
Germ to the White House
than unemployment.
Only short while ago
Mr.. Hoover was still as dry
as the Anti-Saloon League.
Four months ago he was
wildly cheered at a meeting
of that organization.
But in the meanwhile the
facts have marched-and
the line has heightened all
the while. The President
cannot hope for the cleo
tOral votes Of such States as
New York, New Jersey,
Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island on an AntitSaloon
League platform. That is
the reason for the confer
ences Of the pla f form
makers. The strategy of
these platform makers is to
frame a plank that will
seem wet and yet be dry.
But Mr.. Hoover has passed
his opportunity.
When the tax bill was
pending, and the Admins
tration was exploring every
avenue to revenue, the most
promising of all was utterly
ignored. In looking for new
things to tax, it forgot the
old thing to which other ma
,tions resort for a goodly
portion Of their revenue.
Mr.. Hoover could have
gone before Congress per-
sonally with a message set
ting forth the extreme seri-
BUSINESS Of the situation, the
necessity for balancing the
budget, the enormous tax
drain on business enterprise
and individuals to raise the
money. He could have ad-
mitted that prohibition, as 1T
is, has not prohibited. He
could have stated what he
knows-that it cannot be en-
forced. And he could have
proposed the legalization of
light wines and beer for
revenue purposes tndG Woulu
have brought in hundreds Of
millions in revenue and given
employment to hundreds of
thousands Of the jobless.
Had he had the courage,
the leadership, to have pur-
sued this course, Congress
would have acted, and the
tax burden on the people
next year would have been
greatly lightened.
Was it courage that was
lacking? Or leadership? Or
is Mr.. Hoover at heart a pro-
hibitionist of the Anti-Saloon
League variety still?
