PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED

IT may seem long distance from the dis
appearance of the last of the free land
in the west to the complexities of the alpha
betical groups by which the present admin
iStration is trying to promote recovery and
reconstruction.
The connection, however, is very direct and
strong. What is happening is simply that
we now are tackling the problems from which
we ran away when they first were taking
shape. We ran because we had western
frontier to go to; lacking it now, we have to
pitch in and try to solve the difficulties.
These problems are many and varied, but
most of them stem from the fact that it is
hard to make political democracy work
smoothly in a land where economic power
continually is concentrating itself in the hands
of a few.
That development-the tendency of wealth
to coalesce-iS not new thing. In it's mod
ern form it began to appear directly after the
Civil war, and the Embellishments which it
brought to American society at that time were
profound and disturbing
But the country at large did little or moth
ing to remedy matters. The west was open,
and any man who felt that the cards were
stacked against him could move to the from
tier and start over again.
The open west was a safety valve which
kept the national pressure down.
AS the twentieth century dawned the from
tier vanished. and Immediately we began to
feel the loss of our safety valve. Theodore
Roosevelt'S fight against the trusts the rise
of the La Toilette group in the senate, Wood
row Wilson's battle for "the new freedom
these things all testify to the nations effort
to grapple with the issues it too long had
ignored.
Then came certain diversions. The war
took our minds off these issues for nearly
decade Then came the skyrocket growth of
mass production industry, symbolzed by de-
velopment of the auto industry, to provide
temporary new safety valve.
Those outlets. too, are gone now. And in
the enormous complexities of the new deal we
simply are witnessing our final head-on col
lision with the problems that should have been
attacked two generations ago.
We aren't engaged in a new fight. We are
wrestling with changes long overdue,

DUST a mouthful regarding Walk
athon. My family goes out there
about four nights a week The
downtown theater owners are the
cause of all this trouble. They
charge 40 cents for two-hour shows,
and you spend an hour looking for
parking place and finally have to
spend an enjoyable evening at the
Walkathon for Is cents. Instead of
trying to send this clean entertain
ment out of town, the council bet
ter take a look around the Streets
of Paris" on the Indiana Roof,
where they are presenting a nudist
show
1 noticed in the paper today
where a hawk entered the Streets
of Paris" but lost his life trying to
clean up our city. CWhat a PITY
You notice he didn't go out to the
Walkathon because they are clean
and we'll dressed. I hope, after the
Walkathon has been forced from
our midst, that the thousands of
fans won't forget the neighborhood
theaters, where a good show can be
seen for 25 cents and perhaps they
will lower the prices downtown.
Lets see you print this. Good
luck to real paper.

TN times like these, with their
Il economic depressions, unem-
ployment and resultant suffering,
tuberculosis finds the causes which
increase its intensity.
In the first place, those lucky
enough to find work dare not spare
the time to be treated for the dis
ease.
And in the second place, those out
of work can not spend what little
they may have for medical care,
and the American citizen, by his
very nature, is disinclined to accept
Internationally free medical serv-
ice.
With such conditions prevailing
today, the attack upon tuberculosis
should be more serious than ever.

DUT I have no desire to turn

try at explaining to you why your
column has been better over this
brief stretch of time. For years I
have been DINING into your ears
the fact that you are not a humor-

die college sophomore. You will
be glad to hear that. in my eSti-
nation, you have now been pro-
NOTED to the junior class. And,
even so. your graduation remains
in doubt unless you can rid your
self of certain handicaps
Il am hoping that repeal may be
a vital factor for betterment in
what I may facetiously call your
career I am not referring to your
private life, which is deplorable
but none of my business. Spe-
officially, I hope that this social
change may mean that I have read
your last speakeasy column. Those
are the days which bore me. Who
on earth cares whether you got
home at 5 in the morning or 10 at
night? And there are several things
which interest me more than what
you said to the bartender and what
he replied to you.

Your paper, among others, seems
to take delight in criticiSing our
state administration for maintain

accounts of the effort to appre-

I have particular reference to
your comments about the alleged
theft of $4,000 in bonds from the
teachers retirement fund.
You often convey the thought
that our Governor is not justified
in removing appointees Of our re-
cent Republican Governors who re-
placed Democrats some sixteen years
ago and had kept them out ever
since, until Paul McNutt turned the

Does any one know Of any good
reason why the real estate tax
should not be exchanged for rent"
tax? For example, many persons
making good salaries pay as high 'as
500 a month for apartments, 1T
have no real estate tax to pay.
1t is of course as much their duty
to help pay the school teachers and
similar employees as it is the duty Of
the small home owners. 1t is true
that such a person has to pay in
come tax, but this is true also Of the
home owner.
BY suggesting the rent" tax I do
not mean to exempt the home
owner, but this tax could be handled
in some such following manner:
Procure from the city records the
valuation of each building; procure
from the gas, light or water COM
pany complete list of occupants.
Levy the tax according to the valIe
of the place in which he lives.
In other words, tax everybody ac-
cording to the station in life in
which he chooses to live; if he lives
in an expensive place he should pay
higher percentage Of tax than @-'e
who lives in a less-expensive place.
If this method of taxing were
used, it would not be long until
more people would buy homes and
we all know that when real estate
is not moving everything's dead
This change in tax also would
enable our executives to balance
their various budgets comfortably
and to do so without cutting salaries
of city employees as will no doubt
be done if the present unfairnesS in
taxing continues.

"Be Your Age"

THIS preoccupation of yours
Il with the night life of New
York constitutes delayed Adde'S
cence. Now that liquor is legal. I
trust that you will either take it or
let it alone, but in either event that
you will not pirate about it. The
same thing goes for the theater.
Really, Haywood, be your age. A
stage door is just a door and not a
portal to some magical kingdom.
You must have wasted your time in
college on an overeXemplary life. At
40 you seem concerned with frivoli-
ties which belong properly in the
province Of the lad of 20.
Many years ago 1 gave I'D all
hope that you ever would approach
the more serious problems of life in
anything but a sentimental and ro-
mantle fashion. You will &c on till
the end, 1 suppose, thinking of
Marx as just another D'Artagnan.
And even in those columns which
seem to me your best l catch you
acting as if you yourself were Henry
OF Navarro, bouncing blithely along
under snoW-white plumage. Detach-
ment is not your line. Make the
best of it, and be, if you can, one
OF the bravest of barnacles.
And so upon your birthday I
come to shower you with the com
pliments of a well-wisher. While
1t is true that limitations are placed
upon all those who view the whole
world in their own image, that fail
ing may be something less than
fatal The world calls upon each
one to contribute according to his
ability and in his own wav.

Without WeiqI1t of Facts

MERE is some place reserved
L even for highly emotional
economists like yourself. Facts and
figures confuse persons of your type,
and yet to an extent which some
times surprises me I find you op-
Grating on the right side through
the mere process of a bunch. You
drop quite frequently into the prop
er trench, even though you have not
the slightest knowledge Of how you
happened to get there.
Il like it best when the column
indicates that you are mad at some
body. Never try to box an oppon-
ent. YOU lack the footwork. Get in
there and slug. and keep pounding
at the body It's your only chance.
Some day you may land a hay
maker.
But even when you miss you'll
get applause from this ringside
spectator. At least, you'll get my
cheers just as long as I feet that
you are really putting your back
and shoulders into it.
And so, say, forget that you
are fat and As and bald and fiabby.
Keep wading in. Remember they
can't hurt us. Sincerely yours.
