A Sound Program
Obiectives of New Federation

Entering upon its life the representative of group OF
Federal workers. the American Federation Of Government
Employees has adopted program of sound principles.
( Summed up its objectives
"'To restore to Federal employees pay, lea0e and

"A fair and equitable classification for employees

Although these obectives readily obtanable the
employees banded together in the Federation do well
to state and to prepare to fight for them when
the opportune time
The group recognizes the overwhelming demand coming
from the people economy in announcing
that:

a good job Of it, Is a full time
chore, and the more you do Of it
the more you have to do. So
there isn't much chance to do
anything else.
Years going on. More and
more years. And then. one day,
1 began to take stock.
What had done in all those
years?
What had I missed?
I had done so little, save hate.
I had missed so much. I had
paid such a terrific price for
hate.
Those people whom I hated,
because they had hurt me-if
they could know what my hate
cost, how delighted they would
be. FOR MY OWN HATE WAS
DOING ME MORE HARM
THAN THEY COULD EVER
HAVE HOPED TO DO.
When at last I realized that,
saw the truth. Hate didn't
pay. No matter how great the
provocation, hate didn't pay.
I had thought Jesus Christ
was wrong when He said to
turn the other cheek" to those
who would harm you. But He
was speaking deepest wisdom.
1t was better to turn the other
cheek. It was better to let your.
self be harmed, again and again,
without seeking revenge, than
1t was to hate. FOR ONE SEC.
OND OF YOUR OWN HATE
HURT YOU MORE THAN A
MILLION YEARS OF THE
OTHER FELLOWS HARM.
Hate didn't pay-and you
didn't have to hate if you
didn't want to! You could re-
fuse to hate, if you wished,
just as you could refuse to
do anything else. It wasn't
easy, particularly If you had
been accustomed to let your
self go. But it could be done
AND I DETERMINED TO
DO 1T.
I Refuse to Hate
I'm no saint. I don't pre-
tend to love those who mali
ciously hurt me, but I have
found that I can be indiffer-
ent to them. I can refuse to
be demoralized by their malice,
just as I can refuse to be
demoralized by a tiresome
show, or a poor meal or q
muddy street. Life is full Of
unpleasantneSS. One must learn
to stand it. Malice is just one
of life's inevitable unpleasant
nesses. One can learn to stand
that, too. So
I try to take malice as
coolly as I take mud. I don't
like malice. I don't like mud.
But neither of them can harm
me if I keep them OUTSIDE.
So, just because I'm selfish,
Just because I want to get the
most out of life, I REFUSE
TO HATE. That may not be
a very sanity reason; but 1t
works swell with me. Try it.

"Who Wants TARIFF"
Demanded MIR. Ford

On May 20, 1880, Mr..
Ford told the Scripps-How-
ard press just what he
thought Of the Grundy act.
It is juicy reading to put
beside the speeches made
in the last day or so by
Mr.. Ford's miracle man"
of the White House. For
Mr.. Ford really was out
ragged. This is what he
said:
II venture to predict
that this bill is the last leg
islation of its kind anybody
will ever try to get through
Congress. The day when
this country will stand for
that sort of thing is past. "
Now isn't that unfortu-
nate, just now when Mr..
Ford's idol is going to try
to get something Of the sort,
only worse, Through Con-
gress," regardless of whether
"the country will stand for
that sort of thing" or not?
Mr.. Ford continued:
"Who wants this high
tariff bill? We certainly
don't. I think it would be
highly educational to tell
the public just who it is
that does want it. The
President does not want it.
I am told that Congress does
not want it. No up-to-date
business man wants it. Who,
then, is forcing it on the
country?"

recent poll of candidates for Congress in New York.
New Jersey and Connecticut reveals heavy mares in favor
of both these measures
One hundred and forty-three candidates queried
One hundred and six replied.
Of these seventy for the sales tax and ninyone
for repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment with consequent
tax liquor.
The candidates from both parties and include those
running for both House and Senate.
All to impose a liquor tax and a sales tax were
defeated in the last Congress.
They may be defeated at this coming lame duck session.
But the conclusion that public in these three

measures.

HENRY FORD once ad-
Ill mitted his ignorance of
history and his inability to
see any reason for it, any
way. The truth is Mr.. Ford
knows how to make auto
mobiles and there are many
things he does not know.
But it seems a pity that he
is not familiar with his own
history. That, 1 am sure
Mr.. Ford would think i'm
portant. If he knew any
thing about American his
tory, the elemental mean
ing of what we started out
to do in America when we
attained our independence,
he would know better than
to assume the right to tell
his employees how to vote.
He might even find from
an intelligent reading of
our history that this sort OF
thing is un-American and
a1topether vicious and in
tolerable.
But, to get back to Mr..
Ford's own history, of which
he now is ignorant, he has
just exhausted the superla-
tives on Mr.. Hoover and the
things he stands for-includ-
ing the Grundy tariff. We
wonder if Mr.. Ford would
enjoy reading what he said
when it was pending, now
that Mr.. Hoover is COM
planning that the prohibitive
act which has driven our
best customers away and
barred us from the markets
of the world is not high
enough.
Permit us, then, to give
Mr.. Ford a little lesson in
the history of Mr.. Ford.

So, on the same principle, I
refuse to be sickened, bored,
pestered, inflalned or hindered
in my life's progress by hate.
do not always take this
high-minded attitude toward
hate. To the contrary, I was

you've ever seen. I made a

unique ways of hating and

Proud Of Hating
And I was proud of hating.
I thought that all regular peo-
pie held grudges and conducted
feuds, and that a person was
mighty white-livered if he
didn't have at least a couple
good, red-hot hates under way.
In vain wiser souls warned
me that hating didn't pay;
quoted the biblical injunction
to turn the other cheek"
Noble words; but not for me!
Anyone who slapped MY cheek
got what was coming to him,
plenty and pronto!
So I grew up. bristling; went
out into life looking for trouble.
Found it on every side. Count
less chances to feel insulted.
Constant provocations to hate.
And how I did hate!
And the years went on.
Rich years, filled with a d.
versity Of opportunity. A man
could do what he wished with
those years. Take the oppor-
tunity he preferred. Accomplish
what he pleased. I saw my
friends accomplishing much. Saw
them achieving good work;
building quiet, pleasant friend
ships.
Wanted to Do Good
wanted to do good work, too.
I wanted to have quiet, pleasant
friendships. But had only so
much time, so much energy:
and I was using most of that
time and energy IN hating. For
