SENATOR HOWELL

The death of Senator Robert B. Howell of Ne
braska like that Of Senator Thomas J. Walsh, is a
national bereavement. Senator Howell was, in his
gentle way, no less logged in opposing crookedness
and privilege.
His reputation in Nebraska was founded on his
passion for public ownership of utilities Standing
today as monuments to his memory are successful
municipal plants in that state In congress he voted
generally like his colleague, Senator Norris who
loved and trusted him.
He helped to win the Muscle Shoals fight. He
was against big navy, copper tariff, veterans bonus
and extravaganza in government. He was for higher
income taxes, labor reforms relief grants and above
all. farm relief.
Like Marcus Cato, who used to warn the Roman
senate each date that Carthage must be destroyed
this senator last year always ended his daily ten
minute speech with the imperative: Mr. President
agriculture must be rescued"
Through three administrations. Senator Howell
watched all efforts to agriculture turn to
futility Perhaps, Cato's persistence finally Won
Senator Howens patient tenacity still may bear fruit

MONDAY. MARCH ls. 1883
VETERAN AND VETERANS

Having lost its fight in the house the veterans
lobby is trying to kill the Presidents economy
measure in the senate
Fortunately there is very little chance that the
senate will obey this lobby For one reason, most of
the senators understand the emergency Also the
senate is responsive to public opinon-and it is clear
to all that public opinion is overwhelmingly behind
the President this issue.
Senators understand that the lobby is inspiring
letters and kilograms not representative Of the
country.
The power Of public opinion was revealed in the
house, when many Democrats who voted against the
Presidents bill in the secret party caucus turned
around and voted for it when put under the public
spotlight Of an open house vote
An unfortunate aspect of this fight is that it
puts all the veterans of the country in the seeming
position of holding up the government in time of
crisis. Such is not the case
Many yeterans-how many it is impossible to say
are opposed to special class privileges; and many
more resent the obstructive tactics of the lobby at
this particular time
This is true not only of the veteran organizations
formed for the specific purpose of opposing the cash
bonus and of demanding cuts in present veteran
appropriations. 1t is true also of members of the
rank and file, whose voice is not heard in Wash
ington.
1t would be true of a great many more veterans
If their lobbyists had not whipped them up to I'M
reasonable demands.
Despite all explanations to the contrary there
still is a general misconception of this economy
measure There is no intention OH the part Of the
President or of congress, of that great body OF
public opinion demanding veterans cuts, to reduce
the care and benefits received by veterans injured
in line of duty in the war
The fight is over non-Service-c connected dis
abilities BY looping off benefits for that general
type it is estimated that the federal government
can save more than $4OO0OoOOO a year.
If the lobbyists would spend some of their time
explaining to the veterans the disaster IN store Tor
the country-including the veterans-if the govern
ment continues to run up its 5OOOOOOooO operating
deficit we can not believe that the veterans would
remain insensitive to the economy requirement
If the lobbyists would explain to the veterans
that even after the proposed cut they would be
getting about $6O00O0OOO from the federal treasury
every year certain veterans would get over the
unjust feeling that they victims of a stingy and
mean government.
The best friends of the veterans are those public
officials who are trying to save the credly OF the
federal government so that it never will have to
default on the care of actually injured in service

HUNGER RELIEF

There is little doubt that President Roosevelt will
include plea for federal relief funds when ne
announces his program for helping the jobess
Senators Costigan, La Toilette and Wagner, urg-
ing that the Reconstruction Finance Corporations
discriminating relief fund be replenished by $780,
600 900 at once, have found the President sympa-
thetc.
Another ally is the growing desperation of states
and communities, many of whose relief problems
have been made more acute by the recent bank
holidays,
The r. F. C. has loaned all but $7oooOOOo of its
$3OoOOOOOO relief loan funds. At the normal rate OF
depletion. the fund will be exhausted before June
At the rate as accelerated by the bank crisis 1t may
be gone by April.
Some states like Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania
and southern and coal mine communities are IN
worse shape than others Unless they get help from
Washington many localities may have to slam the
doors in the faces of their needy Philadelphia has
done four times.
The new funds should be made available as
grants not loans. And to get the maximum OF re-
lief out of every dollar they should be administered
in consultation with an expert board at Washing
ton.
Inefficient local administration is second only
to delay in causing useless human suffering.
At least 100000 American families are receiv-
ing relief Many families are getting as low as Sc
a month Unless the government acts quickly,
starvation will spread
Testimony before the manufactures committee"
said Senator La Toilette recently, should convince
any open-minded person that the situation is too
dangerous to be trlaed with.
Advance information indicates that President
Roosevelt will ask for a modest sum for starting
work relief camps for reforestaton and reclamation
projects This sounds like a splendid beginning of
what America must undertake in large way to
start employment and revive purchasing power
Emergency hunger relief is a separate problem
This never should have been left on the admin
istration's door sill. But here it is.
The present congress seems certain to display the
same celebrity in passing hunger relief as it did in
granting bank relief.

WITHDRAWING LAND

Dispatches from Washington indicate that the
much talked-of farm allotment plan is going to be
permitted to die painless death In its place &C
cordng to current reports the administration will
offer plan by which the government would retire
marginal farm land from cultivation through a
process of renting, in each state, such farm lands
as are not needed to produce crop sufficient to
meet domestic needs.
The efficacy of such plan, of course, would
depend largely the details Of its presentation and
on the way in which it was handled. But in the
main it can be said that the scheme seems to offer
more hope of genuine, economically-sound farm
relief than anything thus far offered
Wisely handled, such plan could gear crop pro-
ducon to actual needs, thereby putting farm prices
up where they belong; and at the time it could
be made to tie in very neatly with reforeStation and
flood control schemes.
