A MAN OF VISION

Mayor VIM. A. Anderson of Mime
apolis, who is a candidate for re-elec-
tion in the Mill City's municipal
election next Monday. was prominent
figure at meeting in Detroit in June
of last year. The occasion was a
gathering of mayors from American
cities of 100000 population or more.
The discussion centered on what to do
to get out of the depression and for
the return of prosperity. Mayor An
derson advocated a public works pro-
gram which is now being taken up by
Congress.
The Minneapolis mayor who is an
likely be returned to office by the Mill
City voters, said in part at the De-
troit meeting:
IL believe that the five billion dol
lar plan is perhaps the only thing at
the present time that will help the
situation. l have heard some of the
speakers here this forenoon say that
in their opinion it is not the proper
thing to do. l am wondering if that
is true. During the last 120 years we
have had 16 major depressions. Each
enc has been of longer duration and
more severe than the preceding one.
and it is my opinion that each depres-
sion leads the way for a subsequent
depression which will be of longer
duration and more serious in it's eff
feet.
"As private business picks up, pub
lie business should decrease. In other
words, let the government act as a
sponge to absorb the unemployed dur
ing the periods of depression, and as
the workers and put them into private
industry"

RACIAL DISCRIMINATION
(The NatiOn)

One of the important results of the
continental Congress which met re-
Gently in Washington, 1000 delegates
strong, was to call public attention to
the widespread discrimination against
Negroes in the capital of the nation.
When it became known that the Cairo
Hotel had refused accommodations to
Negroes, the hundred or so delegates
to the congress who had made reser-
vations there marched to the hotel ac-
companied by 1000 delegates in a
spontaneous parade several blocks
long. They carried banners which
stated that they were leaving the
hotel because of its refusal to receive
Negroes as guests. Norman Thomas
informs us that such discrimination
is common in Washington and exists
even in government departments He
writes that the tourist camp owned by
the government and operated under
the general direction of the Quarter
masters Bureau of the War Depart
ment does not admit Negroes Il la
ter learned Mr.. Thomas continues,

A NEEDED REFORM
Capital TimeS)

1t is worth noticing that the new
securities bill just put through at
Washington will make it unnecessary
in the future for a Senate committee
to hold an expensive investigation to
find out what men were on the "fa-
vored lists" of firms like the House of
Morgan.
The new bill provides that any cor
pOration which sells stock at varying
prices must first notify the Federal
Trade Commission, and the names of
the friends who are permitted to
buy below the market will be avail
able to the newspapers.
1t seems likely that this will cut
down on such extensions of privilege
to a favored few Deals of that kind
do not thrive in the light of publicity
The new securities bill provides that
light, and makes certain that it will be
directed where it is most needed

(The Minnesota Jeffersonian)

cine Minnesota JefferSOnlan)
The Republican press of the nation
and for the most part of this state
has been commercially free of criti-
cism of President Roosevelt since he
took office on March 4. Many news
papers. in fact, that bitterly opposed
his election, have since come to be
among his most staunch supporters
In every act of man there is oppor-
tunity for criticism by some other hui
man whose ideas and opinions do not
exactly conform. This is particularly
true of holders of public office and
their political opponents. A certain
amount of honestly conceived criti-
cism cannot be opposed. Yet, most
this kind of opposition against the
president.
With all of this it is particularly
disappointing to find in the Anoka
County Union a small shot that has
all the earmarks of being willfully
dishonest. 1t says:
"A $4,000 swimming pool for the
president doesn't look so hot when eX-
service men have to suffer drastic
cuts in their relief monies"
The Union editor knows or should
know that the swimming pool for the
president was made possible by the
contributions of friends from their
own private resources. 1t is not being
built by the government and cannot
in any way affect the monies the gov
eminent may ,Or may not have to COM
pensate eX-service men.
If two or three years ago The Union
editor had said something to the same
effect about the use of government
troops and funds to construct the

that this discrimination extends even
to the National Cemetery at Arlington
unless, perhaps. the unknown SOL
der was Negro, as well he might
have BEEN" 1t is probable that these
facts were not known to the Admin
stration before the Continental Con-
gres" held them up to public view.
They are known now. Protests
against Hitlerism do not come with
good grace from Americans who do
not at the same time protest even
more vigorously against racial dis
elimination in this country. And it is
worth pointing out as we'll that this
attitude toward Negroes is not con-
fined to the South. 1t is commonly
found also in those Northern cities
whose citizens are most proud of their
traditional sympathy for the Negro
and most assiduous in criticizing the
intolerant South.

QUITE A PROBLEM

Congress is sort of back-watering,
at any rate the Senate has taken such
action, on the veterans compensation
bill. In March a cut of $500, 900 900
was effected on the money to be paid
by the government to former service
men but now it is proposed to ease
up little on the big cut in the
service mems compensation and add
s17O,0O0,0OO to their allowances.
Those who were disabled in the
war and are unable to work, or un-
able to do some kinds of work on
account of their disability, are en-
titled to fair treatment by the gov
eminent and should have it, but in
many cases the unemployed former
service men would much rather have
a job than to be receiving monthly
compensation from the government.
II Congress can give employment to
all the former service men who are
able to work, through the public
works program, they will be doing a
great good. Work is what folks are
looking for and it will be the best
that Congress can give us.
The government must effect some
savings and it won't hurt a particle
if the compensation to some of those
who served few months in the Span
Bh-American war of more than 80
years ago had their compensation cut
somewhat, especially those who are
AaIe and hearty and have been in
business all the intervening years
and have enjoyed good incomes.

CAUSES LITTLE FUSS NOW

So far the new 80 per cent beer has
not made much of a disturbance, at
any rate not in the rural villages
Folks go to the restaurants or hotels
and get their beer or leave it, just as
they see fit, and those places look
much like they used to. Apparently
there is little change in the patronage
and now that the beer is legal and
permissible, not much is thought
about it. Sentiment has been, and
still is, strong against the old saloon
Therefore this much may be said in
behalf of the Eighteenth amendment
that it did away with the saloon
Beer can now be bought in the re-
staurant or hotel for those who like
it and have the price, and the sur
roundings and environment there is
much better than the old drink house
