Who Could Oppose
These Recommendations?

For labor, he reiterates
recommendations that a Re-
publican legislature has re-
fused to act upon before.
We quote them from the
message because hostility to
them throws such curious
light or the Republican leg
islative mind:
Extension of the work
mans compensation law to
cover all occupational dis
eases.
THE State regulation of
f e e . C h arging employment
agencies.
"The declaration by law
that the labor of human
beings is not a commodity.
"The establishment for
women and children of an
advisory, minimum fair
wage board"
1t seems incredible that
any legislator with any con-
cept of the relation of hui
manity to government could
oppose at least the first,
third and fourth Of these.

Sunday Closing Laws
The District Doesn't Want Them

The District Commissioners know of objection to pas
sage of the bill closing barber shops Sunday
The city heads may not know it but there plenty of
objection of enactment of measure and the objection
is welLfounded.
To pass such bill will open the way enactment of other
which in turn would close other and
sary businesses ..... ..
The eventual result might be to close the District tighter
than those communities which fighting to get out
from under "blue law Sundays"
This barber shop closing bill sponsored by group of
BARRIERS who want to close their shops.
Why don they close them?
Because they afraid that if they close other
barber will keep his place open and attract their trade
The BARRIERS Of course entitled to day of rest
week. They should take it.
But there sound basis for making the closing of shops
mandatory under general law.
Let the BARRIERS close their shops Sunday voluntarily
they wish, but let not have law which tells how
he may work how he may worship.

Banking
We like particularly what
he says about banks and
banking. Everyone now
knows that not least among
the causes of our present
troubles have been the un-
banker-like banking. The
governor says:
"Unsound practices of
the past must be eliminated
by law from now on. The
ethics Of banking need re-

managed as savings and

Il message, Governor Roose-
velt surveys the economic
conditions of the country as
a whole and makes numerous
observations that are inter-
esting and to the point. No
where in his comments can
he be accused of intolerance
toward those who have in
large measure been respon-
sible for bringing about the
American contribution to the
debacle.
Indeed, he says that it
would be "ungracious" to
accuse groups or indl-
viduals. And yet the tariff
act which has closed the for
eign markets in our faces was
due not to the people as a
whole, for these protested;
not to business as a whole,
for a large part opposed 1t;
certainly not to the flnan-
ciers, for they were dead
against it, and the econo-
mists were almost unani-
mOusly hostile to it. There
was a group, and a compare
lively small group, that
forced that destructive act
upon the statutes, repre-
sented by Mr.. Grundy; and
he explained that among
this group of his he had
raised $1.OOO,OOO for the
campaign fund in 1928.
It is equally true that the
collapse of the market was
brought about by the mad
dog policy of supremely
selfish and greedy men; and
we are not so sure it would
be ungracious, to fix upon
them the responsibility.
We do not criticize the
governors comment; merely
point to it as evidence that
he is not in the least illiberal
in dealing with the situation.
Following
False Gods"
He says that among the
leaders in the business world
who mismanaged the bust
ness of the nation there has
been a realization that they
have been following "false
gods" and that they are
"heartily sorry for their sins
of omission and commits
sion" There was time
when we believed this to be
true, and said so.
Seven or eight months
ago, not a few of them were
saying publicly that some
radical reforms in business
standards and methods would
be necessary to save our
present system. But we hear
less of this today. There is
reason to suspect that the old
Bourbons, who never learn
from experience, have been
after the refOrmers in their
midst and have stiffened
them to stand for the old
order. And that is just too
bad.
The governor comments
sharply on the fact that the
new business leadership re-
quired by the times has not
developed or appeared:
Nevertheless, more than
two years have gone by and
these leaders have as yet
shown us few plans for the
reconstruction of a better
ordered civilization in which
the economic freedom of the
individual will be restored. "
That is true; and the
further truth is that we are
afraid few of these Old-line
leaders are remotely inter
ested in restoring the "ecO-
nomic freedom of the indi-
vidual. Their policies for
10 years, and more. have
tended knowingly to the de-
struction of the economic
freedom of the individual. Is
it "radical" to say in print
what thoughtful men whisper
in their homes, that the
whole trend has been to-
ward the creation of an in
dustrial feudalism9 For
that is the truth.

THE I'LL ARMY GAME.

This is the time of year when the corporate political
Nestors are devlsing ways and means of permitting the
electors to exercise their most sacred heritage in voting
for a candidate of their selection on either ticket in No
vember. For governor the fine Italian hand of these
gentlemen is already evident in the aspirations of that
blatant super patriot and luncheon club terror, Frank
Hazelbaker of Dillon, who is being kidded to run on the
Republican ticket with the promise of corporate support
in the company papers processing an attachment to the
party OF helpful Herbert. On the Democratic ticket, to
appease the followers of Thomas Jefferson, they offer
the famous tax reducer and debt extinguisher, John En-
ickson, b~allyhooed by their alleged democratic journals.
Attorney General L.. A. Foot these balmy spring days is
summing himself on the steps of the Capitol with his ear
to the southwest with a look Of concerned anxiety, re-
sembling that of the hypnotized canine in front Of the
phonograph horn. Although the North Dakota major has
not yet filed, it is anticipated that he will receive the
word shortly that he may exercise his constitutional priv
ilege and run for this office on the Republican ticket. On
the Democratic ticket John J. Greene, the famous COM
pany tax equalizer and appointee Of Erickson, has re-
ceived the word that he may file for this office. John

They'll parade for any reason that offers! Give them

1t was May-Day night in New York City and Mrs. Az

on the $4,000 employed and unemployed who had
thronged Union Square in the annual May Day parade
of protest and demands.
"But that's where you're off" l came back at her.

A GREAT ECONOMISTS PLAIN TALK.

For thirty years DR.. Thomas Nixon Carver has been
professor of economics at Harvard University, one of the
oldest and most conservative of American educational
institutions. Up to date, no one has called Dr.. Carver a
Red" His name has never appeared on the BLACKLIST
of the D.. A. R. In other words, DR.. Carver is eminenty
respectable and conceded to be an authority on every
thing relating to economics.
Recently Dr.. Carver talked with a representative of
the Boston Post about how Uncle Sam should replenish
his depleted treasury. Here are some of the things the
eminent doctor said:
and that place is where large amounts exist. When our
entrance into the World war called for government ac-
emulation of tremendous resources there was no hesi-
fancy. The government went out and got the money.
I'VE are facing a situation now that is more menacing
and in which the need of national resources is nearly as
great.
Then, action was swift and definite. 1t should be
now. The place to get the money is from the people who
have 1.-THE wealthy class with their large incomes and
the large concerns who are making large profits.
AFTER all, the best way to raise the federal income is
by raising the income tax, especially the super-taXes on
large incomes and profits.
Our national legislators certainly must know that is
the most logical, the most certain, the safest method OF
cleaning up the deficit. The only reason why such def
mite, sure action is not taken, | believe, is because
wealthy men-thOse who would be hardest hit by such
measmes-are in control of both political parties.
"They are making every effort to have the necessary
money come from the masses instead of from the wealthy
classes. Some of their arguments against super-taxes on
large incomes are silly in the extreme. They declare that
taxes on large incomes ultimately come from the small
earners. This is plain buncombe.
"The tax on big incomes cannot be shifted from the
rich to the poor, neither can the tax on big profits. No
manufacturer is going to give up large profits because he
has to turn a considerable portion of them over to the
government. How can he shift his tax onto the consum-
err after he has taken the ~profits?"
The doctor also had something to say about the sales
tax. Here it is:
"A tax on ordinary commodities is a tax on the poor
mans bread and butter. Even a tax on luxuries hits the
worker, as it is a hindrance to the sale of these Injuries
and a consequence menacing factor on the labor that
can be employed in their production"

THE TENDER AIRSHIP IN MORE TROUBLE.

The Akron has fulfilled the prophecies of i'll luck made
before she was finished. The latest disaster came at the
landing field, rather than in flight, but there is no great
encouragement in that.
The Zeppelin type Of airship seems too tender and
manageable for practical use. Its German inventors
have done more with it than any other people, but enemy
planes practically drove the 'big ~sausages" out of the
air toward the close of the war. Stunt flights have been
made with them by several nations, but nothing worth
while develops, and trouble always seems lurking
close by.
1t is difficult to understand why Uncle Sam continues
to waste millions on such craft-unless, as has been so
often suggested, the prime consideration is increasing
the profits of certain concerns which have lots Of political
Influence"

that he would file for this office on the last day he may
legally do so, but desired me to keep this strictly sub
rosa presumably on the score that forty days preceding
the primary would not afford sufficient opportunity for

For supreme court justice on the Republican ticket, it
is expected that the bottle-scarTed veteran of Siberia, Al

The Federal Reserve Board has been unable to pump
life into the banking system, for the simple reason that
the banks cannot find borrowers, says the bureau. It
adds that borrowing from the banks-as from the Re-
