Reflection on Our Brains

DY and large, we are thinking in
ID expedients, rather than prin-
ciples, and are getting in trouble
because the two clash. 1t is re-
Election on our ability to foresee
and guard against perfectly obvious
situations that this and other gov
ernments should be increasing taxes
at time when private business Of
every kind is shrinking
It is a reflection on our intelli-
gence that three years should be re-
quired to make us understand that
a depression had set in.
Now that we do understand, it is
a reflection on our courage and in
genuity that we should be doing so
little of constructive character.
Balancing the budget, whether
through increased taxes, or reduced
expenses, is, after all, only routine
task. Its value to private enter
prise lies chiefly in its psychological
effect. but it does little in a direct
way to stimulate trade, or promote
industry.
In the final analysis, a govern
ment's power to produce revenue
depends on the capacity of its peo-
pie to produce wealth. 1t is that
capacity which must be restored
and all government policies should
be formulated with such an end in
view.

THE fact that so much food is

THE fact that so much food is
4 perishable results in inefficient
and wasteful distribution, the report
says.
1t also points out that there are
tremendous losses. due to spoilage
contamination, and so on.
Because Of its very perishability,
according to the chemist, 'it now
necessarily is distributed in an ex-
tremely inefficient and wasteful
manner, tremendous losses being
incurred through spoilage, trans
portation, contamination, and many
other inefficiencies.
Low temperature preservation OF
perishables promises to solve many
of the difficulties inherent In the
present system.
THE actual freezing process is
only one of a series Of essential
steps in the complete system Of
getting perishable foods from the
producer to the consumer by means
Of sub-freezing temperatures.
Products must be selected prop
erly as to variety and quality, prop
erly pretreated and packaged before
freezing, correctly frozen. suitably
cold-storaged, transported without
being allowed to thaw, retailed eff
GENTLY at temperatures Of about
degrees Fahrenheit, and finally
properly cooked.
"Low-temperature distribution Of
perishable foods is bound to become
Of tremendous Importance because il
makes possible the preservation Of
such foods without loss OF their
original freshness, and allows their
delivery to the consumer at a lower
cost and in more convenient form
than is possible by present
methods"

Jobs for Sale

JODo iUI Ddlt
When the legislature meets in special
session, it might proftably survey the ex-
tent to which public jobs are sold for cam
paign funds.
Up at the statehouse the head Of one
commission went to the employees Of his
department and demanded that each worker
pay per cent Of one years wage as a con-
tribution to the Republican party. A Demo-
cratic member suggested that the same con-
tribution be made by those Of his own party
who hold public jobs under the theoretical
bipartisan departments Of state govern
ment.
This is more than an imposition on the
employees. 1t hits at the integrity of public
service and the whole theory of government.
In the last analysis it means that political
organizations put these jobs on the auction
block and sell them, for the implication was
plain that refusal to pay up would mean that
the worker would be discharged
Any worker who pays the contribution
should be fired. 1t means that the worker adj
mts that he is taking per cent more than
he or she is worth.
Either the jobs are worth all that is
charged to the public pay roll and any such
demand by political organizations pure black
mail, or the wage should be cut and the saw
ing be made to the taxpayers.
If any bargaining is to be made by en-
ployes for the privilege of holding the job,
the deal should be made with the people and
the money kept in public instead of poll
teal treasury.
Nine out of ten jobs in state service are
clerical and should have nothing to do with
politics.
The man or woman who holds them
should be a good worker, not good pohti-
clan or a good contributor.
All Of these minor jobs should be under
the strictest Of civil service and not subject
to change at the whim Of high officials. No
man or woman should be compelled to sell his
political conscience for the sake of job.
The workers themselves would be much
safer under a system that relieved them
from the necessity of making enforced con-
tributions to those who give them work.
They would be better workers if they were
out of such shadow of fear.
Inc last primary gave cN'U0HSS " nv"
far this lob fear holds the men and women
in public Offices They had to accept the
Judgment of their executives, not themselves.
ANY business man who tried to exercise the
same control over his private employees could
be sent to jail under the law. Any business
firm that compelled its employees to contrib
ute to political funds would be prosecuted.
The legislature will be compelled to re-
duce the cost of government. One step might
be to take over the contributions now col
lected from job sale by political parties.
Of course, there will be cuts in overpaid
officials. 1t is unthinkabe that the office of
treasurer of this county should pay more
than $4,000 a year in fees and work done
by men and women who receive wages of
from 81 200 to $4,000 a year.
But it is more important to end system
that permits high officials to levy tribute for
political purposes upon men and women
whose wages are not eXtravagant and to
whom such contributions mean real priva-
ton.

HypnotiSm Not ORIGINAL

WE come to a crisis, but still
w believing in artificial rem
edies, in short cuts to prosperity,
in effortless relief. A psychiatrist
rises to remark that congress might
be hypnotized into purposeful
action.
The idea is not original. Fifteen
years ago, a F'renchman advocated
hypnotizing the Germans as the
best way to beat them. Meanwhile,
the chances are that too many of
us have been hypnotized by one abb
surd notion or another.
The worlds great need would
seem to be a little horse sense. In
spite of Einstein, two and two still
make four. What is more to the
point, millions of people must help
themselves before they can do much
toward helping one another.
The call is for work, not to make
employment, but to get back to the
idea of doing things.

Unwilling to Think

WYE keep telling ourselves that
w there can't be anything wrong
with the country. or the world;
that there are just as many people
looking for meat and drink as there
we're before the depression set in,
if not a few more; and that our
troubles are largely psychological.
No doubt they are, but in the
sense of stupidity, Indifference and
unwillingnesS to think Ever since
the armistice was signed, we have
been looking for short and easy
roads to heaven, on the assump-
ton that Germany's defeat had
made them available.
Civilization actually emerged
from the holocaust imagining that
the evil side of human nature had
been crushed and that the good
side had been placed in control Of
human destiny.
Nothing could go wrong, we as
serted, now that the allies had won.
Rotten stocks and rotten politics
we're accepted in good faith. 1t
was a great day for suckers.

physicians have fought the

remains one of the unsolved prob
lens Of medical science.
There are, of course, methods of
treatment far superior to the mys-
ticism and magic of an earlier day,
but complete cure is rare, indeed.
The exact cause has not been es-
tabished, so all methods of treat
ment will depend for their value
on their effects on the symptoms,
rather than on their ability to con-
troll the cause of the condition.

has subsequently been shown that
Jimmy is not the man to live and
breathe within the confines Of his
salary of a civil servant.
1t is a little surprising that he
should have turned even so much
as a finger to win the increase from
$4,000 to $4,000. What is $4,000
to a good-time Jimmy but the most
pitiful Of pittances.
No wonder he offered to turn the
increase over to charity. With a
gesture more magnificent than any
royalist, he might we'll have said,

And such is the present status OF
the mayor of New York that his
friends were moved to tumultuous
applause at his confession Of being
the little brother of the rich, the
boy friend of the market plungers
and Billy Blocks good deed Of an

The high office Of mayor Of New

he was kept out Of kindness and not
out Of cupidity, that result regis

Singing for His Supper

JAMES j. WALKER is not the
j first public official to find his
salary insufficient. William Jennings
Bryan, when secretary Of state, en-
ployed one of his vacations to make
a tour with a troupe Of Swiss bell
ringers. And at the time there was
not a little criticism which accused
Mr.. Bryan Of being cheap and vul-
gar in this enterprise.
But, at least, Mr.. Bryan gave
value received for the pin money
which he picked up. He toiled
away as Justify as any bell ringer.
That seems to me the major charge
which rests against the official ex-
PLANTATION Of Mr.. Walkers outside
efforts to assure himself Of cakes
and coffee.
If he were only a little more
squeamish. he would have sung for
his supper.

ented individual. With a little more

cheered the open admission Of the
chief executive of the city Of New
York that he had lived largely on
the bounty of good, kind friends
who dropped gold pieces in his out
stretched hat. He revealed himself
as the beneficiary Of a private dole,
as the pitiful recipient Of Paul
Block aid.

literally.
l think it not amiss to recon-
mend self help to James j. Walker.
With perfect propriety he could sit
down and write another "WiIl You
Love Me in December as You Do
IN Mayo" He easily could get a week
at the Palace.
Many radio advertiser would
be glad to pay handsomely for the
privilege of having the mayor tell
the invisible audience that it is
toasted or good to the last drop.
But I feel that it would be even
more appropriate if Mr.. Walker
went on the air to popularize the
fact that even your best friends

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Humanity,

Humanity.
There often comes a time in the af-
fairs OF all humanity
Which calls on us to cease all wrath
and cultivate urbanity,
Forgetful Of the obstinacy that amounts
to mulishness,
The lack of common sense and, maybe,
even downright foolishness;
A time when We must study men with
no desire to criticize,
Dsmissing inclinations to sarcasticate
or witticize.
Though faults are ever present, do not
mention them abusively.
Permit them to retire into the back
ground unobtrusively,
For now the wind is blowing unrelent-
ingly and frigidly
Where leaves and blossoms started,
icicles are growing rigidly,
And instead OF lifting praises to mag
nificence importunate,
Let's join and give attention to the
call of the unfortunate.
Don't tell fellow mortal when dis
tress has overtaken him
He gets what he deserves because his
wisdom had forsaken him.
Be something like this humble rhyme,
with no superior attitude.
Do what you can to help and do not
pause to ask for gratitude.

"Atomergs.'

The "stomerg" Is the newest hypo-
thetical unit to claim admission to the
family of building blocks OF creation
1t is sponsored by DR.. E. K Plyler of
the University of North Carolina as the
ultimate unit Of energy, as the electron
is the ultimate unit of matter. Some
where in the invisible world of the in
finitely little is the border line between
energy and matter, where the two be-
come indistinguishable Here is the
ultimate reality which lies behind
sensory perception.
DR.. Plyler arrives at the concept of
the atomerg in seeking to solve the
riddle of light, which persistently has
defied the ingenuity of physicists. In
some ways light acts as If it were COM
posed of streams of minute particles.
In other ways 1t acts as If it were un-
material energy Mathematicians have
made various attempts TO bridge the
gulf between the two. The North
Carolina physicist claims that this is
