SIX DOLLARS A WEEK

NTO business which depends for existence
~ on paying less than living wages to its
workers has any right to continue in this coun-
try" said Franklin D. Roosevelt the day he
signed the industrial recovery act. He added:
BY business I mean the whole of COM
merce as well as the whole of industry; by
workers mean all workers-the white collar
class as well as the men in overallS; and by
living wages mean more than bare sub
sstence level mean the wages of decent
living"
That was credo which put glow of graft
tude and hope into mems hearts.
But today the recovery administration has
before it a code for the laundry industry which
provides a minimum wage of IA cents an hour
for workers in the south. A woman working
the full forty-fve hours permitted her by the
code would earn just $500 week at this rate.
If she did not miss an hours work all year she
would receive 1927 for that year, record i'm
possible to achieve.
Most of those who will receive this wage are
Negro women, but there is nothing in Presi-
dent Roosevelt's pledge of decent living to in
dictate that he intended it for white workers
only.
Six dollars and thirty cents week is not
decent living wage in the south or any other
part of the country. Those who are opposing
it argue logically that higher wages, even if
they mean slightly higher charges, will not
ruin the laundry business.
And if it did, the women thrown out of jobs
probably could earn more taking in washing in
their homes.
Endorsement of a $500 minimum wage
by NRA would shake the countrys belief in
the recovery program.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
INITIATION CLOUDS

CTATENIENTS and arguments about the
~ governments monetary policy are arising
to heaven these days ike drifting fog about
a mountain peak. and the peak which they
veil-if you care to continue this metaphor
is that enormous mass Of debts which we ran
up back in the boom days.
That pile of debts, in other words, is, after
ALL the central fact in the whole matter, The
long series Of claims ana counter-claims
about the ms and cuts Of imitation, managed
currencies and the like simply hangs over it,
sometimes revealing it and sometimes
ohscuring it.
Up to certain point, the thing is fairly
simple.
Back in the boom times when something
that looked very much like money grew on
every bush, we went deeply into debt. Farmers
went into debt, business houses went into debt
industrial concerns went into debt. A food of
paper covered the land, like lava flow from
a volcano.
This flood eventually CONCEALED to form the
mountain mentioned above. Meanwhile,
money became scarcer. 1t ceased to grow on
bushes; for lot of people it ceased to grow
at all. We found it necessary to conduct our
business and personal affairs with fewer
dollars than we had had before.
But the mountain of debt remained
unchanged. 1t stands today, its crags gloomy
and bleak, with chill billiards. swirling about
them. And in one way or another we must
white that mountain down to its size before
we can stand up on our hind legs again.
What is being attempted at Washington
today may look altogether too much like an
effort to move mountains by faith alone to
suit practical men, But the job has to be done,
and if we disapprove of the way that is being
tried it is up to us TO suggest another way.
Suppose we do not like the idea of reducing
the mass of debt by monkeying with the
currency. What do we want? A general
scaling down of all fixed charges, from freight
rates to utilities rates, coupled with straight
horizontal slash in all mortgages, all bonds,
and all commercial loans? Now is the time
for us to speak up.
For the load of debts is simply too great to
be borne 1t is easy to find good reasons for
disappearing the way in which Washington is
trying to reduce it; but in listing those reasons
we are bound to suggest some other way of
accomplishing the same end. And 1t seems
reasonable to insist that the "other way" has
to be one that the people would tolerate.

abroad has little to do with working out this

abroad has little to do with working out this
program in sound way.
The problem. in case we do not care to
keep fifty million acres Of crop land out Of use
either by processing tax or by government pur-
chase, is to increase foreign purchasing power
by vastly greater imports of foreign goods In
determining which goods to accept, We must
be willing to sacrifice a great many inefficient
industries even though they are run by our
friends unless, Of course, they are gravely
needed in time Of war"
The great question" the secretary said,
as where We shall find the courage and the
tenacity that will be required to take, and to
stick TO- either the international path, the ma
tional path, or to planned path between the
two, for long and perhaps trying years Of re-
adjustment"
Mr.. Roper and Mr.. Wallace are talking
sound sense on this subject not merely from
the standpoint Of the government but from
the standpoint Of business and agriculture,
whose interests they represent in the govern
ment.

PAYING FOR A .CRIME'

A MAN walked into a hardware store in
L n Sunbury, Pa. recently and told the store
keeper that he would like to settle Up for
very old debt.
Thirty-one years ago, when the man was a
small boy, he wanted a sled. Lacking the
money to buy it. he calmly had taken one
from the store; sled valued at rs cents.
Ever since then, this had preyed on his
mind so finally he went in to settle up-and,
after some discussion, relieved his conscience
by paying the storekeeper $225.
1t is hard to read this story without wish
ing for more facts about it, Did the young
ster who took the sled thirty-one years ago
get as much fun out of it as he had hoped?
Did the pangS of conscience that afflicted him
afterWard counterbalance the ache of unsatis
fed desire he would have felt if he had not
taken it?
A youngster who wants a sled and can't
get one is a pathetic spectacle. This long
forgotten crime" somehow is one that is very
easy to understand.

HISTORY REVIVED

NTHILE verbal warfare continues to rage
w about the moot points of the recovery
program, it is refreshing to look the other
direction for moment and notice that $500
members of the civilian conservation corps are
going to be at work this winter restoring some
of the nations most famous battleaelds.
Four groups of men will work at Yorktown,
where Continental and French troops squeezed
independence out of CORVALLIS helpless army.
Two more groups will work at Morristown
N. j., another historic spot in the Revolutionary
struggle.
Six hundred will work at Chckamauga
scene of some of the Civil wars bloodiest fight
ing others will be assigned to Gettysburg,
Vicksburg, Shiloh, Fredericksburg, Spottsyl-
vania and Charlottesville.
In each case the workers will start by clear
ing away underbrush, vegetation, and so on,
that hide the outlines of trenches gun en-
placements, and the like. Old Notifications
will be cleaned up trails will be laid to make
access to all parts of the field easy, roadsides
will be cleared away and Handicapped
Just enough actual restoration will be done
to enable each battlefield to tell its own story
to the visitor.
When the work is finished, a small staff of
experts will be installed at each battlefield.
Little effort will be made to give visitors
guides; instead maps and leaflets will be pre-
pared so that the visitor can find his own way
about and piece the historic story together for
himself.
The whole project seems to be one Of the
most intelligent moves that could be made
These battlefields of ours, made sacred by
the blood that has been shed on them and by
the high principles that were at stake there,
are national shrines of the greatest value.
There is no better way to get the feel" Of
national history than to visit one or another
of these places.
A few hours at Gettysburg, for instance,
are worth whole volumes on the Civil war; a
visit to Lexington and Concord, or to Ticon-
deroga, makes the Revolution seem real as
nothing else can
From such visits comes understanding; and
from understanding grows a hardy and I'M
shakable patriotism.
BY restoring the battlefelds and enabling
us as visitors to reconstruct in our magma
tons the tragic and heroic moments of our
history, the government is offering us some
thing of the very highest value.

PUBLIC TORTURE

ONE of the most Misunderstanding things
" about life is the thoughtless cruelty that
human beings can show to one another.
A 17-year-old farm boy landed in jail in
an Ohio town the other day. He had shot
his brother-in-Iaw to death because he had
brought disgrace to our family" and back of
his explanation there is a tragic example Of
the way in which this thoughtless cruelty can
operate.
The brother in-law had been convicted of
assaulting 14-year-old girl and had served
time for it. And the young chap who finally
killed him says that neighbors tainted him
wherever he went because his sisters hus-
band had turned out to be a scoundrel.
"They all threw it up to me-" he explained
IT made up my mind that never would let
him live with my sister again"
Why, in world which has tragedies
enough anyway, must people exercise that
thoughtless and vicious form of cruelty?

THE SAN JOSE LYNCHING

THE San Jose double lynching is widely
L condoned. Governor Rolph. the chief law
officer Of California, announces that he will
pardon the lynchers if any attempt is made
to punish them. Governor Rolph speaks, Of
course, not as a responsible public official but
as a particularly low order Of politician. He
senses that his appeal to the mob spirit is
popular.
There is no denying that Governor ROlph's
attitude is representative of a rather large
block of public opinion not only in San Jose,
but elsewhere in the nation. Even many
persons who usually abhor the crime of lynch
ing are saying now, They had it coming to
them"
Why?
Obviously kidnapping provokes a blind
public rage greater than almost any other
crime And when the kidnapping turns into
dendish murder, the brutality Of the criminal
fires the mob brutality. In this case also
there doubtless was something of the spirit
Of the old California vigiantes. Though there
was no reason to fear that these criminals
would escape legal punishment, the kidnapping
terror throughout the country has inspired a
terrorist mood on the part of the public which
demands vengeance.
Until very recently the law was not catch
ing and furnishing hdnapers. Our legal syS
TEN was too inefficient or corrupt, or both
That now is being remedied, especially by the
federal government. But we still are paying
in mob spirit for the old breakdown of justice.
So it is easy enough to explain, in one
way and another, the tendency of many per-
sons to condone the San Jose lynching. But
this newspaper can not condone it.
The reasons against lynching go much
deeper than the conventional arguments
against barbarity.
This is a time of vast unrest. Otherwise
law-abiding citizens are taking law into their
own hands. Farmers are using violence
against officers and judges Strikers are be-
ing shot down. The country is on edge For
many months whole communities and classes
have been under nervous tension almost to
the point Of breaking. And now we enter an
other winter of mass suffering.
In such an explosive situation for Gov
ernor Rolph or any other sworn officer of the
law to feed the mob spirit is worse than Grim
inal The mob is madness. The mob is no
respecter of persons or institutions Those
who raise up the mob must be prepared for
the destruction of the nation
Fortunately the federal government and
most state governments today are more in
teIigent than Governor Ro1ph.

to ask them to go step further in
the direction of our own immediate
city and doing so without expense
on their part?
That step is merely to insist that
all their employees move inside the
city limits.
This would not only fill our
empty houses so that real estate
would start moving, but it would
fill our rooming houses and cause
many, many pay checks to be spent
in indianapolis so that our mer-
chants and manufacturers could
benefit.
Put some real thought into it, en-
ployerS, and get together. 1t seems
that our mayor is lacking in
starting any beneficial campaign
for his city. Just because he is a
bachelor he need not be dead.
We will all agree, I think, that
when real estate doesn't move the
entire city is dormant. At this time
property owners are getting very
little rent, but their loan payments
are just as high as they were when
times were better, their interest is
still at 612 per cent and 7 per cent
and aside from all of this unfair
ness more than half the tenants in
this town impose upon the landlord
until it is pitiful. They know that
the landlord will come across" with
rent reductions and repairs before
he will permit his house to become
vacant.
In this state of affairs I appeal
to the employers of this city to get
busy and cooperate with this sug-
gestion. All they would have to do
is to state their cause to their en-
ployes, having them realize that
they would be discharged if they
were found living out of town; then
every so often a check should be
made of one or more employees and
let it be known to all that such a
check~up was made.

AS long as the limb remains in
this bath, the pain is absent and

Protection Against Chilblains Urged

Hence it is important to improve
the circulation of the tissues, to de-
termine the blood pressure, and to
investigate the condition Of the ar
teries and veins in the affected
limbs, since deficient circulation is
responsible for the appearance of
chilblains.
If the physician finds a deficiency
in the circulation, he may be able
to control the condition by suitable
measures. Varicose veins may be
controlled not only by the applica-
ton of elastic bandageS, but by the
injection treatment and use Of sur
gical measures.
Other conditions affecting veins
and arteries represent constitution
al disturbances demanding medical
supervision. Finally, the prescrip-
ton of the right kind Of exercise
and the right kind Of diet and rest
will do much to prevent and cure
chilblains.

OUR PLACE IN THE WORLD

THERE'S some plain talking going on about
our commercial relations with the rest
of the world, about our tariff, our place in the
family of nations henceforth.
There's a new and important tariff and
trade plan evidently in the making; and no
more important problem confronts the Roose-
Welt administration
Fortnight nationalism doesn't seem so
popular now as it once was. Take the words
OF Commerce Secretary Roper. for instance:
I'VE have learned in these times that we
can not plan from a national viewpoint solely.
ANY well-balanced program for our ultimate
future must comprehend national and inter
national study We must sooner or later learn,
both nationally and internationally, that agen-
cies and conditions which disrupt or embarrass
the flow of trade and commerce must be better
controlled and regulated in the interest Of all
concerned, both at home and abroad"
Secretary OF Agriculture Wallace spoke in
more detail Before We go all the way toward
nationalsm." he said 1T might be wise TO con-
slider the extent to which We can restore for
eign purchasing power by systematic efforts to
lower our tariffs and negotiate reciprocal trade
agreements"
f, And then, swinging at the tariff log-rollers,
Mr. Wallace added:
{ "A truly scientific readjustment Of our tariff
policy would involve the careful examination
of every product produced in the United States
or imported. and the determination Of just
which Of our monopolistic or inefficient indus
tries we are willing to expose to real foreign
.competition. This problem should be ap-
preached not from the standpoint Of Demo-
Gratis or Republicans but from the point of
view of a longtime national plan which we
are willing to follow for at least twenty or
thirty years. Obviously the doctrine of diff
frences In cost Of production at home and
