him If he felt i'll. He said yes so we
assisted him out of the box. When we
had reached the ground, he seemed to

District Taxes
Time for a Cut

another step.

fiscal year 1884 will before the newly Economy

Hoover's New Proposal
To Geneva

Ignoring this vital problem
on the solution of which de-
pends the preservation not
only of our institutions but
our social system, Mr..
Hoover proposes to the
Geneva conference an arms
cut of one-third calculated
to save ten billion dollars in
ten years.
The President has been
prolific with some desirable
but impractical and i'm
possible suggestions. With
these he has caught the head
lines. Thus his call on in
dustries not to cut wages or
lay men off regardless of
the business necessities of
these industries. Thus his
call on industries and cor
porations actually to in
crease their expansion and
repair budgets in the midst
of the depression. These
things made a momentary
spla a S h but accomplished
nothing. So with this new
proposal to Geneva.
France, Of course, will
agree to nothing of the sort;
and France alone will make
it impossible Of realization.
In Paris the presidential
proposal is interpreted as a
mere campaign gesture. LIE
Temps informs the French it
is intended for "home con-
sumption" And Andre &C.
raud (Pertinax) more bluntly
says:
"Mr. Hoover, who is, per-
haps, within a few months Of
political ruin and who is
sticking at nothing to re-
store his fortunes, has re-
turned to the ultimatum
method.
1t is positively known IN
Washington that France has
"security' as a fixed policy
and that nothing but head
lines for a day can be ex-
pected from the proposal.

cussed custom, and in exactly
the same way.
How and why do we acquire
other habits? BECAUSE THEY
CRAFTY SOME WEAKNESS
IN US.
There's drinking, for example.
Why do people drink? Because
drinking helps us escape from
tiresome reality, nagging re
sponsibility. Drinking comforts
our coWardice, soothes our lazi-
ness.
Some people do the same
thing for US. They may be,
usually are, very inferior peo-
pie, but they have a certain
value.
They help us escape reality.
They flatter and amuse us.
They make us forget that we
are cowardly and lazy.
Others crafty our vanity.
We tolerate fools, because they
make us seem wise by contrast.
We permit idlers and grafters
because, by their very clinging,
they make us seem stronger
and more capable.
Why do some smart men
marry nit-wit women? Why do
some efficient, Self-respecting
women marry worthless men?
There are a couple of reasons.
But how about the malicious
people; how about the cruel,
selfish, dishonest people who
fatten on finer lives? Surely
they're not just bad habits"
A Big Reason
But they are, and for an
amazing reason.
Most of us have a silly, dis
gushing vice in which we like
to indulge. WE LIKE TO BE
SORRY FOR OURSELVES.
Self-pity gives us an excuse
for all our failures. It also
gives us a satisfying amount
of publicity.
If we can't grab the spotlight
in any other way, we can al
ways do it by posing as martyrs,
and so we stand for people who
actually abuse us BECAUSE
THEY SERVE OUR HABIT OF
SELF-PTTY.
EVERY ONE OF YOUR BAD
HABITS GRATTFIES SOME
WEAKNESS IN YOU /
EVERY WORTHLESS PER
SON WHOM YOU PERMIT TO
LITTER UP YOUR LIFE ALSO
GRATIFIES SOME WEAK
NESS IN YOU.
EVERY WORTHLESS PER
SON IS THE ANSWER TO
YOUR OWN COWARD1CE,
LAZINESS, SILLINESS, STU
PIDITY, SENTTMENTALITY,
VANITY OR SELF.PTTY.
Pesty people are just ami
mated bad habits. You can
break a bad habit whenever you
wish to break it, but it will al
ways be hard. We like our bad
habits. We lean on them. We
miss them when they're gone.
And so we let them stick
around.
Why do we let people impose
on us, waste our time, money
and energy, even abuse us?
That's why. Not because we
are tender-hearted or duty
bound, BUT BECAUSE THEY
ARE BAD HABITS AND WE
HATE TO LET THEM GO.

ONCE-OVERS
Your Office Disposition

your OI1lCe DlSpOSICIOH
Often yoH feel irritable and
displeased when you reach your
business office or your job in
the morning.
If you are in a position of au-
thority, it is likely that you
make little effort to control
your i'll humor.
Those under you must stand
for your indignities and are
probably subjected to many
words of censure or complaint
which they don't deserve.
If your bad humor came as
a result of the actions of one
to whom you dared not express
your feelings, because you had
no right, very likely you are
unfair toward those who must
stand your criticisms,
Strange, isn't it, that human
beings are often like that.
They try to vent upon others
what they have had to take
themselves.
Can't you be bigger in spirit
than that?
If you had a quarrel at home
why bring it along with you?
Shake it off on your way to
work.
You are not meeting those to
blame for your sour mood,
when you leave the cause
at your home or somewhere en-
route to your place of business.

Showing Off"

When you have visitors, are
you one of the fond mothers
who insist upon the children
showing off" in some way?
"Show the lady your draw
ings, dear" or play your pref
ty little piece, for Mrs. So and
So"-perhaps it is a dance or
some other accomplishment
at any rate the child must
manifest it's ability.
Maybe your children are ex-
ceptionally talented but more
than likely you magnify their
good points.
That is .atural attitude
for a parent, but one to be
avoided.
What you consider quite won
derful may be very ordinary in
a child of the same age and
size as yours.
Very. often those before
whom the children show off
believe that their own chill
dren far excel anything your
child can do.
Once in a while a child is
particularly gifted but usually
there is a corresponding lack
in other ways that other par
ents might brag about for their
offspring.
In any case it is very bor-
ing and at the same time does
not do the child any good to
be conspicuous.

TORDELL HULL has just
Omade a statement to
which l want to subscribe
100 per cent. He says:
1T would be a damnable
outrage bordering on trea-
son for the Democratic con-
vention like the recent Re-
publican national conven-
tion to meet and adjourn
without a serious thought
of 100000 unemployed
and the plight of business
and agriculture in the de-
preston"
It is inconceivable that
this statement should have
been inspired by any devel-
oping opposition to such ac-
tion. 1t has been interpreted
in some quarters as a protest
against a disposition among
some to subordinate the is
sues of economics and hu-
manity to the matter Of re-
peal. There lis no necessary
contradiction here.
But if there are any Dem
ocrats Of consequence in the
country who imagine that
the tragedy which has come
to millions of homes because
of the depression is not 60
ing to be the real issue that
will determine the result,
they have spent too much
time on the sands of Florida
and not enough among the
plain people of the country.

Would Turn
The Tide

Mr.. Hoover is fighting
any plan to create public
work to any extent through
a bond issue. His ennis
saries in the Senate have
stubbornly fought the $780,
100000 issue proposed in
the Wagner bill. He would
oppose a five-dollar issue.
And if there is any way that
promises to turn the still
rising tide of unemployment
other than a great public
works program, no one has
come forward to submit it.
If we had a war tOmor-
row a ten-billion dollar bond
issue would be hailed as a
great patriotic move; but
no war we have had, and no
war we may have, will con-
stitute a more deadly threat
to our American institutions
than the continuance of the
utterly intolerable conditions
of unemployment now. There
ought to be a five-billion-
dollar issue, and many hard
headed business leaders have
come to think that it would
turn the tide; give millions
jobs; make them purchasers
again, and thus serve the
merchant and the manu-
facturer.
If the President vetoes a
relief measure and the Demo
cratic convention gives
human misery the absence
treatment as the Republican
