II. RS MEMORY LIVES ON
Think HeSA gain Candidate
BY HELEN WELSHIMER
MIA Service Writer

OYSTER BAY, L. l., July 26.-
~ Across comfortable, sprawl
ing house there falls shadow. 1t
is the shadow Of man, dead these
thirteen years, yet so great man
that thousands believe he still
lives, because he lives with such
vividness in their hearts.
In this quiet house lives a
woman, widow of the dead, yet
living, man. She will be II years
old Aug. g.
She is Edith Carow Roosevelt,
and Theodore Roosevelt is her
husband that was. Mrs. Roosevelt
has received more than 300 mes
sages from people in all parts of
the country who believe that Gov
ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt, the
Democratic nominee for the Presi-
dency, and Theodore Roosevelt,
one-time Republican leader, are
the same. Thus powerfully does
the shadow of man persevere.
And here at oyster Bay, once
the summer White House, the
shadow is almost visible. Here,
few years ago, a whole nation
would have sent gifts or greet
ings up the woodland drive, to the
Presidents wife.
Now there are just her children.
grandchildren a n d intimate
friends to help celebrate, although
messages come from clear around
the world.
DOWN in the village, the peo-
- pie still look up the winding
read that leads to Sycamore Hill,
as her home is called, and when
they mention Mrs. Roosevelt, there
is a note of awe, almost reverence,
in their voices.
1t has been thirteen years since
her husband died, but she still is
the "Colonels Lady" to Oyster
Bay.

America. Asia and Europe during
the last thirteen years. She has
had time, too, to write two books
on the Tylers and Carows, her
New England ancestors.
Her interests center in the
American Legion work at oyster
Bay, the Christ Episcopal church
at the edge of the village, and the
National Needlework guild.
Mrs. Roosevelt doesn't want to
be recognized when she travels.
She put on deep mourning when
her husband died and has never
taken it off. She always is yelled
when in public.
Maybe that is why there is a
touch of reverence in the villagers
tones when they mention her.
Ct USED to always mend her
Il shoes, before I gave up my
cohbler shop" one old man tells
any one who is interested "She
wears black walking shoes, with
Cuban heels. She never lets them
run over.

LEGISLATURE is
IN DEADLOCK AT
HALFWAY MARK
Politics Ruling All Relief
Issues in House and
in Senate.

Hopelessly tangled in mass Of
Issues, many Of them foreign to tax
relief the legislature today reached
the halfway mark Of the special
session.
After twenty days debate over
problems ranging from Wright law
repeal TO farm product prices, legis-
lators swung into the home stretch
with Mr. Taxpayer gasping in, con-
fusion at the sidelines.
To date, twelve bills directly af-
fecting taxpayers of the state as a
whole, have received seriously con-
sideration in both houses. Of these,
ten have been passed by the house
and two by the senate.
Six other bills, indirectly affecting
taxes by rearranging budgets and
functions Of state departments, have
been passed in the house.
But political difference Of the two
houses, one Democratic and the
other Republican, may prevent any
of the relief bills from becoming
laws.

GIVE JOB

Cold winds, bitter blasts, cruel and merciless,
bring new dismay to the many who are unable to
buy fuel To many men, winter means horror this
year. 1t adds to the sting that comes when the
choice must be made between acceptance of charity
and life for loved ones. s
It is Christmas time, the period Of good will to-
ward men, the era when the spirit of human
brotherhood rises to its peak.
1t is the time when gifts are made, too often
exchanged, as a token Of friendship or of love.
Today, the one thing that more men want than
any other benefaction is a job, even for a day.
Today there are thousands whose highest hope
is that they may earn, not receive, the means Of life.
To the thousands who still have incomes and are
employed, the suggestion may be made that in
homes, stores or factories, there may be some work
that could be done or left undone without great
difference.
But if done today, it might bring back hope to
some hopeless man, light where there is now dark
ness, fresh courage where there is but despair.
Why not make this a real Christmas by bringing
back the spirit of Him who sacrificed and fit that
spirit to this mechanical world by giving a job?
To those who desire to follow this suggestion,
q telephone call to the Chamber of Commerce or to
The Times will give the information as to where
men who want work may be found.

BORROW FOR WORK

The one cure for unemployment is work. Only
when purchasing power is restored to the consumer
can there be any real prosperity.
Public works that will pay for themselves in
normal times seems the one quick expedient for re-
storing that purchasing power.
The cities which borrow to consume only post
pone the day of reckoning. The same fate awaits
such cities as awaits individuals. In the end, it means
bankruptcy or reputation.
The Reconstruction Finance Corporation prom
ises to lend funds for self liquidating projects. It
has already loaned a small amount to this city to
carry on poor relief. Unless something is done
quickly, this city will probably be compelled to Dor
row more money.
Why not borrow for some of the projects that
will give men work?
Track elevation and the completion of the re-
duction plant for the sanitary district would release
money for labor. In a few years they will pay for
themselves without taxation on property already
overburdened with taxation.
Money borrowed to give away must be paid later
by taxes. That means an endless problem. But
these self liquidating projects will pay for them
selves. Right now they will do something better
than giving food to the needy. They will give work
to the voorhees,.
A concerted, civic movement to start work at once
is the most immediate necessity in our municipal
life.

Every Day Religion
BY DR.. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

DISHOP BARNES of England
has been saying that we
may any day be able to talk with
the people of other planets, if
they are peopled, over the radio.
What a piece of news it would be-
should that wonder ever come to
pass, the biggest thrill humanity
ever heard of, crowding all other
news off the front page and out
of mind.
just think of turning the dial
of our radio and listening to
voices from the stars, telling us
of beings like, yet unlike, ourselves,
and the kind of life they live!
But it might be very embar-
RAISING, too, because of the awk-
ward question sure to be asked:
What shall we tell the folk of
other planets about ourselves?
For example, shall we tell them
that we grow more food than we
r able to use, pile it up in bins
and barns, while haggard and
hungry men walk the streets of
our cities begging for bread, all
because of our stupidity or Gu
pidity and the game we are wont
to play with metal discs and bits
Of paper We call money?
Shall we tell the men of Mars
that the very name of their
planet is a symbol of war on
earth, of how ever SO often we
fly into a fury and fall upon each
other like wild beasts, filling our
earth with blood and fire and

tears, leaving millions of dead and
dream children never to be born?
Shall we tell them that we are
unable to- stop such insanity be-
cause we are afraid of each other,
and hardly can agree on a spot
where we can sit and talk it over?
CHALL we admit that, with all
~ this beautiful globe to inhabit
and enjoy, multitudes of earth-men
r crowded together in the slums
of our cities, poor, diseased, dull
eyed, living their brief span of
days without joy and without
hope?
OF course, we must not tell these
things to the folk of other plan
cts, and we most earnestly hope
that they never will find out the
facts. For the jewellers on other
earths, for aught we know, are
sensible people, and if so, they
would be sure to think that the
first thing to do with such a mar
Vicious gift as life is to live and let
live, to be happy and to make
others happy.
After all, perhaps we would bet
ter not be in too great a hurry to
talk with the other planets, until
we have better news to tell, be-
cause we do not want to blush in
the face of the stars, confessing
that we do not know how to keep
our tiny earth clear Of injustice,
clear of unkindness, and fit to be
one of the heavenly bodies.

THE GOLD BRICKS GILT.

When congress passed the Hawley-Smoot tariff
of denominations and President Hoover signed it in
1880, the American people were treasured that they
needn't worry. If there were i~niustices, the flexible
provision would take care of them.
Comes now the tariff commission with its report
on this flexible provisions workings. In the two
years, rates have been fexed upward on fourteen
commodities, downward on twenty; in the case of
fifty other articles investigated, no changes were
made.
The articles whose import duties were raised,
however, were of more value than those whose rates
we're lowered. Those obtaining higher duties than
the Hawley-Smoot act allowed we're valued in 1881
at $4,000, 900; those given lowered duties at only
5000 900; those whose duties were left unchanged
at $50. OOO0 OO.
Thus out of eighty-four commodities investigated
under the 1880 flexible provision, the net result is a
tariff increase of $1,000, 900. In addition. of course,
tariffs were added, by way of last years revenue act,
upon four major and formerly free articles-oil,
lumber, coal and copper.
The flexible provision was the gilt that helped
sell the Hawley-smoot tariff to the American people
two years ago. The commissions report helps to
reveal the tariff for what it was-a gold brick.
The English are much more hardened to adver-
sity than are Americans, says Noel Coward, the
English actor-pIaywright. Maybe Britains reluct-
ance to pay its war debt to America is just a gen
erous effort to tougher us up a bit.
Business must be on the upswing, judging from
the number of political jobholders who are resign
ing these days TO devote full time to private bust
ness interests"

Brilliant Jupiter

THE color plates are partic-
Il ularly attractive. Many of
them n imaginative drawings,
based on scientific deductions.
For example, there is a paint
ing showing a lunar landscape
with the earth shining in the sky
against a background of stars.
Another fine painting is an
imaginative view of the Marian
Landscape, and yet another shows
how gigantic Jupiter would appear
from one Of its moons.
Jupiter would be a particularly
brilliant sight from one of its own
moons, not only because of its
great size lit is ten times the di-
ameter of the earth), but because
OF its brilliant markings.
The telescope reveals that Ju-
plter IS an object of great beauty.
The planet is richly colored, va
rlous shades Of red and brown
predominating, with here and
there an olive green.
The markings, for the most
part, are arranged in belts of al
ternate lighter and darker shades
stretching across the planet, par
alleled to the equator.
The observer on a Jovian satel-
lite would see not only mighty
Jupiter in the sky, but the other
eight moons as we'll. Of our

SIMPLEST FACTS OF TAXATION
UNDERSTOOD BY FEW PERSONS

No matter how few people a
tax seems to affect in the begin
ming, the majority of people are
sure to pay it in the end.
Another thing to keep in mind
is that government can not get
blood out of a turnip by passing
a tax bill. On the other hand,
it can discourage overburdened
taxpayers and shrivel sources of
revenue.
Take the existing check tax, for
instance, and look at the differ
ence between what it was sup
posed to produce and what it has
produced. People can do without
a lot of things to which they have
become accustomed if they feel
they must.
Still another thing to keep in
mind is the fact that though we
run trade and industry on a
thirty-day basis, we attempt to
collect taxes only once a year,
with some exceptions. That not
only involves great inconvenience
for the public, but it probably is
responsible for much carelessneSs
and extravaganza on the part of
public officials.
AS a general proposition, our
tax system needs to be simplifled
all along the line, not only to
reduce the cost of collection, but
to let people know when they pay,
how much they pay, and where
it goes.
Beyond that, the tax system
should be brought into line with
the prevailing business methods,
especially as they are affected by
seasonal fluctuations.
Why should car licenses and
local taxes be punched right
around the Christmas holidays,
with the federal income tax less

The Whole Range

THE illustrations cover the
j. whole range of astronomy.
There are pictures of historical
interest as well as recent pictures
of astronomical objects.
There are portraits of Copper
nicus, Calico. Newton, the Her
schels, Hevelius, Bradley, Tycho,
Kepler, and Horrocks. There are
enough views of observatories and
astronomical instruments to con-
stitute a handbook upon the sub
ject.
The telescopes range all the way
from a tiny glass on a tripod, suit
able for amateur use, to the 100
inch telescope at Mt. Wilson, the
largest telescope in the world.
There are photos of many
famous telescopes such as the &C.
inch refractor of the United States
naval observatory, the 40-inch re-
tractor Of the Yerkes observatory,
the 36-inch refractor at Pulkowa,
Russia. the Coude equatorial tel
escope of the Paris observatory.
the 72-inch reflector of the Do
minion Astrophysical observatory
at Victoria, B. c., and others.
There are views of many famous
observatories including the Green
wich observatory near London, the
