of Commerce that there are certain
government expenditures which can
not be curtailed, but that there are
many avenues open for ways in
economy.
Very true. Many government ex-
penditures which could be eliminated
are coming to light these days. For
example, there's the special senate
committee on wild life, which Sin
vestigated' wild life and incidentally,
the fishing, on Minnesota lakes in the
summer of 1880. The committee
turned in bill for $1,9S3.76, the bill
including such items as mineral water,
$4,000; glasses, rs cents, and
matches, Is cents. One item of $500
was for an airplane at $40 an hour.
Such expenditures (and many could
be cited) should be curtailed before
there is even any suggestion of cur
failing government workers salaries.

THE OTHER SIDE OF 1T

The movement for gardening by
the unemployed is growing and may
duplicate the war gardens of 1917
and 1918. States, communities, relief
organizations and corporations are
helping jobless workers to start gar
dens on vacant land. Food raised in
these gardens helps the unemployed
and aids morale by keeping at work
in the sunshine men who otherwise
might be brooding indoors.
But there is another side to the
picture. The gardens reduce the mar
ket of the farmer and truck grower.
While benefting one group, they in
Jure another. This is inevitable un-
der system which produces things
only for profit. Some day there will
be evolved a saner system of society
under which production will be for
use and solely for profit Then what
benefits the living standards of one
group will benefit ali.

ters and the autocrats still prevails.
Even the present tragic break
down of their rule has shaken that
idea but little.
Inevitably there must be more of
democracy in Industry. Democracy
means the expression and enforce
ment of the will of the people.
Just why that great section of our
national operations that most con-
Germs the maintenance of life should
be fenced away as the private domain
of autocrats is a mystery.
The extension of democratic prac-
tice is no socialistic adventure. 1t is
the only workable, sound American
antidote for socialistic adventuring
which would be worse than the auto
cracy of the past.
Why do not people whose faith
is rooted in the idealism of demo-
cracy turn in their agony to the vehi-
Gle of their faith?
In that direction lies final saliva
tion and there we must go, if we are
to have any part of the democracy

READJUST UPWARD!

A lot of banker propaganda is go.
ing around to the effect that wages
must be adjusted downward. They say
the spread" between top wages anc
bottom wages is too wide.
It's true that the spread" is toe
wide. The highest wages are not
high enough. The lowest wages are
abominable!
NO WAGES IN AMERICA ARE
HIGH ENOUGH.
Our low wages among the unor-
ganized are shameful, disgraceful
tragic.
We need readjustment UPWARD!
And for the present top rates a
gradual increase, proceeding as rap
idly as possible.
To pull ANY wages down now is

A "PATRIOTIC DUTY"

Why not strongly emphasize that
organization of workers is for the
good of the nation? That's what the
Pennsylvania State Federation of
Labor is doing, in a leaflet outlining
the organizations 1882 program of
action:
"We are for the organization of all
Pennsylvania workers as a patriotic
duty to the country" the federation
says. unions alone can keep up
wages and purchasing power, and
stop depressions before they start.
This depression came because of in
sufficient purchasing power by coal
miners, farmers, textile workers and
other workers. 1t came because there
wasn't large enough number of
union men to hold up the purchasing
power of the nation. The only way
another depression can be stopped is
by the organization of all workers.
1t is nothing less thaa patriotic
duty for the unions to perform"

ACT NOW

1t is inconceivable that congress
will adjourn without appropriating
money for unemployment relief, and
passing public works measures. 1t is
inconceivable, but it may happen.
Mems nerves give way under long,
gruelling session such as the present
is. Presidential campaigns are beck
oning. Hot weather is coming on, and
well-fed men may be willing to slam
down desk tops, and speed to ban
quet tables to discuss tissues Of the
day." without doing a thing for hum
cry men walking inhospitable streets.
This must not be allowed to happen.
The crisis grows. Relief funds in all
cities are exhausted. Unemployment
increases, reaches a new height in
May, when springtime improvements
should show themselves. Nothing can
prevent the blackest kind of suffer-
ing in November and December, un-
less something is done now, quick,
before congress quits.
The abject state of business is in
dicated by construction reports.
Building is always the barometer Of
business. Look at the record:
1928..$1S,2OO,OO0 awards per day
1929. 100000 awards per day
1880. 12,4OO,OOO awards per day
1881. 100000 awards per day
1882. 100000 awards per day

THE RECKLESS DRIVER

Back in 1914 an ambulance pulled
up to the doors of a Denver hospital.
In it was a badly injured man who
had been hurt in an automobile acci-
dent
He is still there, a helpless cripple,
with limbs paralyzed and power of
speech gone. He has never been iden-
titled nor does anyone know who he
is or where he came from. Day after
day, year after year, he sits immov-
able in his wheel-chair.
And so this man of mystery lin
gers on-a sort of living, breathing
piece of human sculpture-a monu-
ment dedicated to highway careless
ness.
There is ample evidence on every
hand that the reckless motorist deals
out death. Such cases as this, how
ever, show that he can sometimes deal
out an even worse fate.

beethoven Anecdote

The Royal Philharmonic society
founded In 1913 and still fourishing as
probably the most exclusive and dis
tinguished musical organization in the
world-has a proud memory or two in
respect of Beethoven. For one thing,
it commissioned him, In 1922, TO write
a symphony. He thereupon wrote the
immortal Ninth "Chora" symphony,
one of the most wonderful Of all his
works. The original score. In Beetho
ven's writing, is now In the British
museum. And further, the Philhar
monte society's gift of $500 to him
when he was on his deathbed was of
such value to him that his letter of
thanks to the society expresses his
deepest gratitude for it and promises
In return--a Tenth symphony! That,
alas was never to be written.

Bucks Hide Well Peppered

During hunting season certain hunt
ers were fooled by practical joker,
who stuffed fine big buck and placed
him alongside thicket near the high
way, not far from Oil City, Pa. Cars
stopped suddenly, hunters bounded out
and threw their shells into the guns
as they hurriedly prepared to kill the
big buck that stood SO stolid and
straight, looking directly at them.
They would fire and fire, but the bull
lets had no effect on the animal. On
the evening of the third day the deer
was found to have 1877 bullet holes In
its hide, sure proof that at least SO
hunters had tried their skill at the
stuffed animal.

A GREAT WEAKNESS is
UPON US

1t is one of the notable things Of
the day that every denunciation of
crookedness and selfshness in public
life is greeted with loud acclaim.
The people are tired of crooked
ness, selfshness and over-fat ex-
ploiters.
Contemplating exposures of greed,
graft and pillage, great WEAKNESS
is upon us.
The American people were never SO
united in demand for what once was
known simply and directly as a square
deal.
Fortnight utterances are welcom-
ed today as never before. Fortnight
action is still more welcomed.
Whether in political life or in in
dustrial life, the people are tired of
robbery, deception and duplicity.
Will this anger of a people at their
betrayers be dissipated so that the
old game can go on, or will leaders
arise who will give life to the ardent
hopes of people?
Such leadership requires rare cour-
age and much keen insight and un-
derstanding. Above all it needs to
understand what it is that the people
condemn and what it is that they
want. What an opportunity!

Dismissal came suddenly after two
days of testimony in the suit. For
mer Governor Smith testified regard
ing his efforts to settle the differences
between the two organizations. A
deposition, signed by William Green,
president of the American Federation
points in the dispute, was read into

SOCIALIST PARTY
NAMES TICKET

Milwaukee, Wis. (ILNS) Norman
Thomas, of New York, and James III.
Maurer, of Pennsylvania, were nomi-
mated for president and vice presi-
den, respectively, by the national
socialist party here Thomas, for
mer minister and author and lecturer,
is the socialist party's leading propo-
gandist. Maurer, formerly socialist
councilman in Reading, Pa, was for
16 years president of the Pennsyl-
vania State Federation of Labor. He
is member of the United Associa-
tion of Plumbers and Steam Filters.
Thomas and Maurer headed the So
cialist ticket in 1928.
Opening his campaign in his speech
of acceptance, Thomas told 5000 per-
sons in the municipal auditorium
that at no time were the socialists
favored with a greater opportunity to
carry their ideas to the people as this
year.
"The choice now confronting the
world is between socialism and
catastrophe" he said.
Thomas urged as means for the al
deviation of the immediate crisis es-
tablishment of five-day week, pro-
gram of public works, unemployment
insurance, measures for the relief OF
the farmer from debt and additional
help to agriculture through the pro-
motion of cooperative and public
