DOLLARS COME HOME

Trace the course of dollar spent
for property improvement, repairs, or
replacement.
Part of it goes to local merchants,
who provide the needed materials.
Another part goes to the workman on
the job.
The workman spends his part for
the necessities of life. The corner
grocery, the drug store, the depart
ment store get it-and through them
it goes to their employees, to the farm
er and to the manufacturer. Then the
circle begins again-the money enters
new pockets, passes through other in
dustries, travels to other sections of
the country.
The part of the dollar going to the
store providing the supplies follows
much the same course. 1t pays the
stores workers. 1t pays bills. 1t
goes to factories to purchase new
stock. From the factory it goes to
other workmen, to related industries
supplying raw materials, to investors.
And, at last, the dollar comes back,

AS TO BARRING CHEAP
ALIEN LABOR

An unwarranted attack was made
before the immigration committee of
the House of Representatives on the
executive order under which 100000
would-be immigrants have been kept
out of the United States in the last
three years. Some congressman are
annoyed because action was taken by
President Hoover under existing law
without giving them chance to chew
it over for couple of years. But every
man who has job is thankful to Pres
ident Hoover for barring cheap-alien
labor in this period of widespread UNI
employment. =.
Representative Dickstein is at.
tempting to push through a resolution
revoking the executive order under
which aliens likely to become public
charges are excluded. .... .-r.t.
1t is argued that President Hoover
exceeded his authority in issuing such
an order, but the law clearly gives him
power to deny yisas to immigrants
who might not be able to support
themselves here. Discretion is left

SAVING AND SPENDING

Now that we have emergency bank
legislation and a law which gives the
President authority to reduce eX-
penses by the reduction of the
salaries of federal employees and those
beneftting from the various appro-
priations for the veterans Of past
wars, and it would seem that we were
on the way toward balancing Of the
budget, great many people are be-
ginning to wonder just how big saw
ing is to be made at Washington
after ALL No sooner had the public
ceased it's first vociferous applause
over the hundreds of millions saved
in the operation of the government,
than it began to learn that Congress
was considering various programs
which call for the expenditure Of bill
lions more. No doubt a great many
of the proposed expenditures are
worthy, and come from the worthiest
of motives, but it would seem the part
of sound government to slow up
little and think and study, before
there is so great an expenditure Of
the governments money.
In addition to the hundreds of mil
lions to be expended in the reforesta-
ton project, there is an administra-
ton proposal for the floating of two
billions in bonds for refinancing of
farm mortgages. This, it is intimated,
may be followed by another program
with a huge bond issue for the re-
financing of mortgages on homes.
There is a government works bill in
preparation which, it is said, may call
for an ultimate expenditure Of two or
three billions more. This is to say
nothing of the expenditures embraced
in the farm bill which provides for
the leasing by the government of I'M
productive farms and a cost of eight
hundred millions. The latter cost, it
is only fair to say, the administration
expects to raise through a tax on the
purchases of food and clothing, but
if the consumers rebel, and as much
revenue as is needed fails to come in,
who is going to pay the bill, except
Uncle Sam? .--
Then there is to be an expenditure
of half billion of federal money in
the furnishing of funds to the various
states, for relief work. The motive
is laudable, of course, but where is
the federal government to get the
money after all, except by taxing the

with the President as to when this ban
should be invoked.
If those who favor an influx of i'm
migration wish to have the order set
aside, why don't they go directly to
President Roosevelt? 1t may be as
sumed that Mr.. Roosevelt is as much
in favor of reserving jobs for Ameri-
can citizens as his predecessor was
Apparently that is the reason why an
emotional appeal is being made to
Congress.
The basis on which revocation of
the Hoover order is asked is that it
has subjected some prospective immi-
grants to hardships. Nothing is said
about the hardships that would be in
Cured by American citizens if labor
ers accustomed to lower standards
were allowed to migrate to this coun-
try during these hard times and COM
pete for jobs with the army of 12,-
100000 unemployed men and women.
Revocation of the order which keeps
out alien jobseekers would be an insult
to American labor, asserts the Wash
ington Post. The first obligation of
the Government is to the American
people who support and defend it. If
the voice of the whole people could
suddenly become articulate on this
issue, Representative Dickstein would
hide his resolution in a pigeon hole
and beg the public to forget it.

do this. Another aid would be the

business in America than the dam
ming of the flood of cheap goods from
countries which have gone off the gold

USING BOOTSTRAPS AGAIN

A great many students of economics
are beginning to wonder whether or
not the present proposed agricultural
relief bill, being considered by Con-
gress, is not another of the political
attempts to permit the farmer to try
to lift himself over the fence by his
own bootstraps.
Certainly Congress can well afford
to go slowly and carefully in putting
the proposed legislation into effect,
especially in view of the fact that even
the President of the United States
characterizes it as pure experiment.
Business Conditions Weekly" an
analysis and forecast by general bust
ness conditions, issued by the AleXan-
der Hamilton Institute of New York
City, conservative and non-partisan
service, describes the Farm Bill as an
undertaking beset with so many OBJ
stacles that it is evident that the plan
cannot be administered successfully"

the economic structure of the nation.
The bureau holds that the supposed
farm relief measure provides for a
sharp increase in the prices which the
consumer must pay for farm products,
by raising these prices to level that
will bear relationship to a level of
manufactured goods prices prevailing
from 1909 to 1914. This is doubling
of present farm product prices to the
consumer, and while it is presumed
by it's sponsors that the measure will
help farmers and at the same time
stimulate general business by increas-
ing the farmers purchasing power,
the publication holds this is doubtful,
because while increasing the farmers
purchasing power is prerequisite of
business revival, it cannot be restored
by the means proposed. The consum-
ers will not be able to buy the re-
quired amount of higher priced foods
necessary because of their own re-
duced income. This will necessitate
the raising of wages and in turn the
raising of prices on manufactured
goods, the final result being the same
discrepancy as first existed. "The
plan will consequently not only fail
to increase the farmers purchasing
power, but it will start vicious circle
of price imitation which eventually will
collapse and leave the farmers as we'll
as the nation in worse predicament
than the present one," says the Bulle-
tin. consequently, under such a
measure the farmers would have less
to sell, their purchases will steadily
decline, factory output will decrease
and unemployment will rise higher
and higher. In other words, the farm
relief measure is a plan to put the
nation on the road to complete star
walton, road to riots and revolution"
continued the service.
One sound way to help the farmer
would be- stabilizing conditions in the
United States, restoring confidence by
balancing the budgets, national, state
and local and by local reduction of
taxes which would take the great
burden from the back of agriculture.
The demand for the farmers produce
can best be stimulated by putting. the

REAL HELP FOR FARMER

In the debate in the Senate over
the proposed enactment of the admin
istration farm bill, Senator Robin
son, of Arkansas, Democratic leader,
is quoted by the press dispatches as
stating that the law of supply and de-
mand has failed so far as farm prices
are concerned. Senator Robinson ev-
identity hopes to repeal or modify this
law through the kind offices of the
proposed new farm bill. The task will
be little difficult even for body so
august and important as the United
States Congress.
Since the law of supply and demand
is a natural economic law, it might
be we'll to see whether we have not
failed in taking advantage of it be-
fore we charge the law itself with
having failed to function. 1t would
seem to the average layman that the
law has been functioning only too
we'll. We have had more farm COM
modities than the people, in their de-
pleted financial condition, have been
able to consume. The law of supply
and demand has been working only
too well.
Any legislation which is to help the
farmer must take into consideration
the idea of decreasing the supply and
increasing the demand for agricultu-
raj commodities. The supply can only
be decreased by curtailment of pro-
duction by agriculture itself or thru
the vagaries of the weather. Up to
this time, curtailment by agreement
has always seemed to fail and there
is no assurance that it will succeed in
the future. Human nature being what
it is, the average individual always de-
ponds on the other fellow to curtail,
and prefers to raise a full crop for
himself. But perhaps nature is COM
ing to the rescue this year if we can
believe some of the advance crop
predictions.
The most satisfactory way to help
the farmer, of course, would be to in
crease the demand for his product.
Here is where Senator Robinson and
his friends can be of real help to the
farmer. The demand can be increased
not by an unnatural tax on the con-
sumner which will arouse his indigna
ton and induce him to curtail as
much as possible, but by giving the
consumer more money to spend for
what the farmer raises.
In order to give the consumer more
money to spend there must be more
and steadier jobs. One of the first
things to do to bring this about is to
cut off the food of foreign goods pour
ing into our markets from Japan and
some of the countries of Europe, who
are able to surmount our tariff walls
because they have gone off the gold
standard and deprecated their cur
rency. These nations would not eat
our wheat, our pork and beef pro-
ducts, our butter and cheese if they
were supplying all of our finished
goods requirements.
Why not then, cut off these imports,
and turn the job of making these
goods over to American workmen who
will buy the meat products, the but
ter, eggs, cotton, wheat and corn of
the American farmer if they get the
money to do it?

people of the various states?
With such pretentious program for
the expenditure of billions, most of
which is to come from bond issues,
thus increasing the public debt, the
few hundreds of millions cut from
the running expenses of the govern
ment in an effort to balance the
budget begin & look more OF less
like pin money. There is no DISPOSE
ton here to question the motives OF
the administration. Its intentions are
good. But what about the conse-
quences? Suppose it doesn't work
out. Somebody will have to foot
the bill.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By FRANK. P. LITSCHERT

Z Already faint outlines are becoming
visible of the location of the first
stand which is to be made by the Re-
publican minority in Congress against
the militant and up to this time sue
cessful Democratic majority. Since
the new administration came into be-
ing, most of it's efforts from the legis-
lative standpoint have been to meet
emergencies. In order to meet these
emergencies banking and economy
Legislation had to be enacted at once.
1t was necessary to restore confidence
and to make a desperate effort to bal
ance the budget. Since the Republi-
can minority had already announced
a policy of assisting the administra-
ton in all constructive measures look
ing to the betterment of the nation,
there was no resistance, but efficient
cooperation, to the emergency
measures.
A great many people back in the
country, therefore, who have been
expecting congressional fireworks, are
beginning to wonder whether the Re-
publicans have given up for good.
There is no authority for taking any
such view. The Republicans have
only been waiting until they could
find sound and strategic territory on
which to make stand. The outlines
of that territory will become plainly
visible when Congress gets to the
point of tinkering with the tariff, and
the day is probably not far away.
4 i
During the campaign we heard a
great deal about the iniquitous
Smoot- Hawley tariff. We were led to
believe that one of the first things
Congress would do would be to level
to the ground this "robber tariff" AS
yet nothing along this line has been
done and it is now becoming evident
that probably the first thing accom-
plished will be in the way of raising,
rather than lowering, tariffs. The
reason for this is not hard to find, if
one will study the farm bill which the
administration desires to enact into
law. In order to make the provisions
of this law effective, if it is to be en-
acted, it is becoming evident that
there will have to be drastic changes
in our agricultural tariff rates-but
the changes must necessarily be in
the direction of higher tariff rates,
rather than lower ones. Additional
protection will have to be granted all
of the farm commodities which, it is
hoped, will be helped under the new
farm bill. If such higher schedules
are not enacted, the farmers who will
benefit from the new law-if any of
them beneft-will be the agricultur-
lists in foreign countries who will i'm
mediately take advantage Of the high
er prices which it is hoped to offer to
the farmers of the United States.
This will doubtless be blow to the
ardent free traders who told us in the
last campaign that the protective
tariff does not and cannot benefit the
American farmer, but it is a blow he
will have to take on the chin and like

through one channel or another, to the
original spender.
In short length of time that dollar
has had thousand uses. 1t has done
the work of a thousand dollars.
That's the beauty of money which
is actually circulating-it is used an
infinite number of times, and it does
as much good each time.

But there is another angle. Mr.
Roosevelt and his assistant orators
told US in the campaign that pros
perity would be restored through for
eign trade and that this would be
brought about by tariff agreements
between the United States and for
eign countries. One of the alluring
examples cited was Canada and it
was predicted that foreign trade be-
tween the United States and the Do
minion would be increased by a tariff
agreement. But Canada, it is to be re-
membered, has nothing to ship US eX-
cept grain, butter, cheese, and other
agricultural or dairy products. If we
lower the barriers, it will be the
Canadian farmers and not the Ameri-
can farmers who will benefit by the
new farm bill. So it is going to be
a little difficult to arrange a tariff
agreement between Uncle Sam and
Canada. The same will go for all
other agricultural nations which are
the ones most anxious to arrange
reciprocal tariffs with US.
1t is when these questions come to
the forefront, that the Republican
minority, it may be predicted, will
come to life. The Republican tariff
policy is clear and consistent, and the
minority in Congress will have a
clear-cut substitute program to offer
For what the majority offers is
bound to be rather nebulous because
of the multitude of conflicting opin-
ions which the majority statesmen
will have on the issue. The Republi-
cans will then have the advantage of
fighting with a united front on
ground made familiar to them by
hundreds of conflicts in the past.
