The long familiar little red stamp we
used to put on letters are due once again to
return. The hideous purple three-centers
will be relegated to oblivion after the first of
July according to short little news item
appearing in this weeks papers. Postmaster
General Farley has signed the order return
ing the postage rate to two cents. The raise
was made to help the government make up
some of it's postal deficit. The result was just
the opposite of what was expected. Further
than that the additional burden has caused
postage users turnout the country to turn
to other methods of distribution and it will be
many long day before they are discarded,
for some have proven more satisfactory than
the postal way. It is such foolish blunders
which have caused no small part of the de-
preston into which we have slipped.

If a neighbor owed you ten dollars and
objected to paying naturally you'd feel de-
termined to collect the money. But if that
neighbor was a potential customer from
whom you could receive twice that amount
of business each week but refused to deal
with you until the debt matter was cleared
up, what would you do? Call it off of
course. That is exactly the situation in re-
gard to the foreign countries today. While
we all admit that they should pay-every
cent of their just obligations if it means that
business in America shall stagnate as re-
suit we'd better change our tune Far better
We should have return to normally and
forget the debt-charge it off as uncollect-
ible-than to insist upon payment. More
and more is this idea taking hold among the
American people.

The former service men should get the
maximum of aid; theirs was more valiant
service in behalf of the country than the
latter can ever repay in full But insistence
on payment threatens the very stability of
the country the former service men fought
to safeguard Hasty action invariably leads
to disastrous results for any cause no matter
how commendable it may be.

As relief of unemployment, why not
use an army Of men to correct some of the
dangerous grades on public highways, deep
bitches dangerous curves and other hazards
which should be eliminated? Such work
would call for hand labor for which at pres
ent low pay scales could be used in many in
stances more economically than machines.
This suggestion points out the cross
road which separates honest and gainful en-
ployment and humiliating charity and the
lowering of self-respect among American
workers. The public pays in either case.
The millions of dollars given in the form of
dole could be distributed in such a manner
as to maintain the dignity Of honest toll and
to remove the greatest contributing cause of
idleness.

Core Creek Dam Key ToNew 'Power Empire

BY FRANK l.. WELLER

WASHINGTON, April FL.
An almost forgotten spot
on the rugged Tennessee
terrain 800 miles from
Muscle Shoals-the proposed
site of Cove Creek dam in
the Clinch river-becomes
the most important point in
the Tennessee watershed un-
der bills in congress to
create the Tennessee valley
authority.
1t is there that the first shovel
would strike earth and the first
dollar would be spent in the adj
ninistration's ambitious scheme to
awaken the industrial possibilities
of the vast territory which for~l4
years has looked to Muscle Shoals
development for leadership.
For as many years congression-
al pickering over the question OF
private or public development of
power and fertilizer resources of
the governments $15O,00O,0O0

ence. Alabama, has kept incumbent
construction along the Tennessee
river in the background.
$4,000, 900 Asked As Start
The house bill authorizes immc-
'diate appropriation Of $4,000
900 to begin the administrations
program, $2,0O0,OO0 of which is
to be made available for work on
the proposed dam. Muscle Shals
proper becomes just one of the
problems incidental to develop
ment of the entire valley.
Work on Cove Greek dam is in
keeping with the presidents desire
to stimulate employment and BUSH
ness in the Tennessee valley. En-
gineers have estimated it will cost
$34, 400, 900. It will be 225 feet
high with q reservoir of 30 square
miles. running water hack 30 to

in the current calendar year pro-
vision is made in the house bill
for government issuance of $780,
100000 Of 3 percent bonds to be
offered the public in $4,000, 900

ley calls for additional funds.
The senate bill sets no limit on
the issue, cognizant that If it re-
quires $34. O00,000 for Cove Greek
dam along the broad plan of de-
velopment it will require many
hundred thousands of dollars with
in the next decade.
It's estimated that $4,000, 900
