Watch This Money

The Reconstruction Finance Corporation is begin

ment relief act Great care is necessary to prevent
partisan use of these funds.
Perhaps these loans can not meet the full need
of distressed nation which has relied proudly, but
too long on private charity. But the $300000000 dis
tribgted among needy states and cities cam if prop
erly used help alleviate the summers suffering and
place relief agencies in a better position to meet the
increasing problems of the winter.
Charges have been made that local relief funds
are being used in some states and cities for partisan
purposes 1t is unthinkabe that this be the fate
of these federal funds
Indeed this can not occur if the Reconstruction

most natural and unselfconscious Of beings. They
possess overwhelming dignity and complete candor.

Set the Example

Governor Leslie has the opportunity to set the
pattern for reduction government by taking prompt
action to reduce costs under his control.
President Hoover reduced his own wage by 20 per
cent before he cut the low-waged federal employees
fourth that amount
1t may be too much to suggest that the Governor
might reduce the very generous appropriation made
for the maintenance of the Governors mansion and
the very huge placed at his disposal as an
emergency fund out of which many bills are paid
for purposes which legislature would hesitate to
approve
But it is not too much to ask that he order his
commissions to cut the costs by at least as much as
they are attempting to backmai from workers for
political purposes
When the highway commission openly demanded
that employees pay per cent of their earnings
to political parties the members indicted themselves
as unfit for their jobs.
That very action indicates an attitude of mind
toward public service that should at once demand
thsir dismissal
II the employees can afford to pay per cent COM
missions to hold their jobs they can afford to work
for per cent less than they are getting and the
money should go back to the taxpayer not into the
pockets Of politicians.
The same demand is being made on every de-
partment in the state under the gubernaorial control
1t should be resisted.
Placing public jobs either on the auction block or
under fear should be stopped
1t is this very practice that makes public service
costly and wasteful
The Governor needs special authority of law
He can force reductions this week. He can cut the
costs Of every state institution can cut the cost
OF every commission. He cut the cost of mainte-
nance Of institutions.
The Governor has his chance. If he acts, the egs-
lature could not refuse to follow the example in
such matters as it has under its control

There can be no victor in the clash between bonus
rioters and the government at Washington All are
losers. The veterans fought Thursday against the
police of General Glassford whom they recognize as

Bascaly, the blame rests with vote-seeking poll

to come to Washington mission those politicians

The veterans blundered Thursday when they re-
fused the plea of their own leaders to move from
the condemned government buildings to private
quarters.
Then policeman lost his head and shot vet
eran. The veteran killed was unarmed, as were the
others. There was some provocation. The men had
been peting the police including Gassford with
bricks
But that did not justify a violation OF the Glass
ford policy to handle the emergency without firing.
Finally the government made the serious mistake
of calling out federal troops. That has made dan
gerous situation more dangerous, In justice to the
government, it must be said that the depart

If President Hoover personally will receive their

yet can be persuaded it is to their interest and
the interest OF their country that they dsband peace

The country has a real sympathy for these men.
And it recognizes their right to agate peacefully for

can not agree.

Bottled Energy

DUT while this view of the in
- terchange of matter and en-
ergy at first is extremely discon-
certlng, it is one to which we can
adjust ourselves.
1t is possible to think of matter
as bottled energy" All we need
90 then is to place matter under a
more general law, namely, the law
OF the conservation of energy.
This law is summed I'D admira-
Oily by Sir James Jeans in a SEN
tence which 1 have quoted for read~
ers on other occasions.
Jeans writes: "All the life of the
universe may be regarded as mani
1estatlons Of energy masuueradinQ
IN various forms, and all the changes
IN the universe as energy running
about from one of these forms to
the other, but always without alter
ing its total amount"
Note, that while this phrase takes
US into a sea which is stormy ana
unchartered, according to classical
laws of physics, it provides us with
an anchor in the last phrase. but
always without altering its total
amount"
And now comes the bombshelll
NO less an authority than Lord
Rutherford. director of the Caven-
dish laboratory Of the University of
Cambridge, the man who made the
first analysis of the rays of radiun.
the man who formulated modern
ideas about the nucleus of the atom
the teacher of Bohr and numerous
other present-day physicists. suo-
gests that we may have to over
throw the law of the conservation
of energy.
Rutherford is led to this view
point as result of recent expert
ments in various laboratories.
These experiments are extremely
difficult to explain if we insist on
hanging on to the law of the con-
servation of energy.
We will discuss these experi-
ments Saturday.

is made to move the arm or leg, and
an intensification of the tremor if
the motion is continued.
A second sign of this disease is
the side to side twitching of the
eyes, brought on by a tremor of
the muscles of the eyes, and a third
sign is a slow enunciation of words
with tendency to hesitate in the
beginning of words or syllables.
This gives to the speech a pecu-
liar staccato type. The sick per-
son has no difficulty in finding
words, as occurs in some other dis
orders, but he has difficulty in
enunciating his words.

Times Readers Voice Their Views

Editor Times-I see in The
Times an article attacking police
because they hide" in alleys or
other concealment to discover and
arrest "speeders." consider the
attack as unwarranted.
If the speed" law is wrong, the
attack should be upon the law and
not the officer who enforces it.
There should be no arrest of the
driver who only slightly and un-
Willingly violates the law, while at
lacking the officer who arrests the
driver who is speeding because he
thinks no officer is in sight.
I really consider the spirit of the
attack in The Times the basis for
the present Crime wave" If there
is any justification in the speed"
law, the violator should be arrested
without fear or favor, and the fear
of the law should be such that it
will cause obedience by the one who
does not obey from conscience.
If the law is wrong, the vice is
not in the officer who enforces it,
but in the law itself. If the dis
covery of offenSeS is wrong in the
officer, it applies TO the law which
you may support as well as the law
which you condemn.
The officer is sworn to enforce
the laws. He is given no discretion
to decide which are good" and
which are bad" laws. If it is vio-
lative Of right to fail to disclose his
presence for the purpose Of arrest
ing the "speeder," it likewise is vio-
lative of the right" of the chicken
thief" 10 fail to disclose his pres
ence.
We choose our legislators. With
in their discretion is placed the law
which will govern us. We may not
agree with their judgment, but nei-
Their individual nor enforcement Of
f1cer has right to select laws for
violation. The citizen has a right
to agitate for gepeal of the OBJ
jectionable law, but no right of any
attack upon officers for enforce
ment, which must be through fear
of discovery and punishment. For
the person of law-abiding DISPOSE
ton, who will do nothing worse in
the absence Of the police than in
their presence, police officers are
not needed. They are needed most
ly for apprehension of those who
seek to violate because they can do
it with impunity.

EinStein HeIped

Is interesting to notice in pass
4 ing that both these early revolu-
lions were fostered by Professor AL
bert Einstein, best known to the
public as the formulator of the
theory of relatively.
In 1905 he published four impor-
tant papers, one of which was his
first paper on relatively.
The others included one in which
he developed the mathematics OF
the quantum theory of energy, and
one on the possibility of matter be-
ing transformed into energy.
1t was this latter paper which
overthrow the law of the conserva-
ton of matter. Previously, it had
been assumed that the amount of
matter in the universe was constant.
This, in fact, is what was meant
by the law of the conservation of
matter. 1t held that the total
amount of matter in the universe
neither could be. increased nor de-
creased.
Ii was possible to change the
form of matter by chemical means.
but it was not believed possible to
create or destroy matter.
In so far as mans ordinary efforts
are concerned, the law of the con-
servation of matter is still true. It
is true, for example, in all ordinary
chemical experiments.
But astronomers are convinced
that the energy of the sun and stars
is due to destruction of matter. TO

transformation into energy.
Likewise, it has been suggested
that spent radiation might in some
way be transformed back into mat
ter. DR.. r. A. Millikan has sug-
gested that the cosmic rays are
proof of such a process somewhere
in the universe.
Recent findings of Compton and
his associates, however, make it ex-
tremely difficult at this time to give
any satisfactory theory of the origin

Editor Times-I read so many let
tiers on prohibition. A lot of folks
think that legalized beer will bring
prosperity, but I can't see it that
way. If people want beer, and it
seems as though most everybody
does, of course they should have it.
Those who want it get it, any
way, but what want to bring out
is this. Something is wrong with
the entire world and what is it,?
Simply this. We are living in the
machine age.
Every industry under the sun is
putting quicker method" machine
in operation and laying off more
workers continually. I say it is not
prohibition alone that has caused
this crisis, but production. We
see in Canada and other nations as
well, where beer and whisky flow,
that they, too, are faced with un-
employment.
If the breweries open tomorrow,
they too, will put into operation the
new type machinery that will take
the place of the men who once
worked in those places.
The crisis never will be solved as
long as the workers produce so
much more than they can buy back.
In the last few years we know that
commodities produced and not sold
are piled in warehouses. When the
warehouses become full, naturally
they no longer keep men employed,
making something they know they
can't sell, then comes the layoff.
We wonder why they do not sell
