IMMUTABLE LAWS

A business writer, speaking of money
policies, quotes Andrew D. White, former
president of Cornell University, as saying:
"All monetary experimentation show the
existence, in the world of finance, of laws
as sure in their operation as those which
hold the planets in their course
This is puzzling. If it is true, what's
all the fighting about? We don't see col
lege professors or statesmen or political
parties or groups of business men fighting
over the law of gravitation. ~
But is it true? Haven't college pro
fessors and high school teachers always
distinguished between two kinds of science
the natural Sciences whose laws they
have regarded as fixed and sure. and the
human or Social sciences, which they
have described as less definite and certain?
Human beings, singly or in crowd re have
always been told, are so unpredie ..-ble that
we cannot tell exactly how they, or any
thing they try, will work. Is that all chang
ed now?
The business writer, putting in his own
oar, goes still farther He declares that 1T
IS as futile to experiment with that laws
that have governed the relationship of hu-
man beings to their money as to experiment
with the multiplication table,"
Here again, plain mind. trying to
think scientifically, is puzzled.
It may be, as he says, futile to expert
ment with money. But if it is all as simple
and certain as the multiplication table and
if there is any basic reason in human minds,
why are so many people determined to ex-
pertinent with money, when they all accept
the multiplication table? Are people sane
one way and crazy another way?

PLAIN PosToFFIcEs

Construction is expected to start in De-
cember on 80 postoffices in small towns
scattered around the country, with hun
dreds more to follow. Along with the
practical interest in thus helping business
and local employment, and providing bet
ter postoffice facilities, there is an interest
ing angle. The construction plans will be
new. The buildings ere to be useful
rather than ornamental, hich is pretty
radical innovation, in type of building
that has usually been monumental in
some classic style or other, breaking out all
over in traditional decorations.
The elaborate friezes, heavy pillars
and expensive statues will be dispensed
with. "The new buildings" it is announc-
ed, ARE to be fully equipped and modern in
every respect; but thousands of dollars are
to be saved that would ordinarily go into
construction of ornate buildings. BY this
method the cost of the buildings is expected
to be reduced by more than half
It sounds good to the taxpayers who
will have to foot the bill sooner or later
And it need not worry artistic citizens
Modern American architects are showing
that beautiful effects can be obtained by
plain surfaces, through balance and pro-
portion and suiting form to function, with

Cities whose business men are
alert, who are persistent news
paper advertisers are on the
straight road to success.
There seems to be a few dis
gruntled people in this world
whose circumstances in life de-
pend entirely upon their ability
to play on the minds of the
ignorant and the amount of mud
they can produce from the
troubled waters in which they fish.
But why worry about them?
They are heard today and for
gotten tomorrow.
The story of the growth of a
city is a wonderful story. Have
you told the story of yours?
Many governments in the world
are holding conferences in some
form or other most of the time.
Conferences, however, can be
other than what they seem. Many
of them discuss subjects which are
not broadcast to the public. Maybe
that is well, for the people would,
no doubt, consider them of little
Importance and question the ex.
pense involved.
Concerns that advertise speed
up their business.
No matter how conscientious the
peace officer may be or how he
tries to enforce safety laws, he us
ually gets little cooperation on the
part of the average citizen.
Big business men realize that
only the best, well advertised, is
what their customers want. That is
why they are big business men.
This hard-worked word, Infla.
ton, is used in so many ways now,
adays that one has to define il
before talking about it. Some say
that initiation means rise, in pric,
es due to an increase in the vol
ume of money. Our politicians
have scores of ideas about inflat.
ing the currency. Some, no doubt
good-some bad-while the av-
erage citizen hardly knows what
it is all about or what is going to
happen.

There are still $500, 600. 900 left of the
$1,000. 100000 for public works. Surely
100000 of that sum could be spared by
the government for loan to build the
bridges over the water gaps. 1t would
give $500 men employment for more than
year, thus greatly relieving the unemploy-
ment situation in South Florida; it would
afford military highway to the southern
limits of this country; it would also quicken
the trade between the United States and
Cuba.

INITIATION ISSUE
OUTSTANDING in
NATIONS
VARIOUS VIEWS EXPRESSED
IN CONNECTION WITH ADJ
ILLUSTRATIONS OPERA.
TIoNs IN MATTER
By BYRON PRICE

(Chief of Bureau, The Assoclateu
Press. Washington
There are certain practical
reasons why the Roosevelt
administration is giving more
attention to those who want
initiation than those who
think there already is too
much.
Congress meets in January.
Last session, when the White
House grip on legislation was
! stronger than anyone expects 1T
to be this time, mandatory in
flation of a prescribed kind was
stopped only by drastic methods
at the last moment.
They may be right or wrong
about it, but administration
strategists think their real prob
lem now is to keep. in the hands
of the President the discretionary
liberty he has under the present
law.
Some go further, and say the
only way be can accomplish that
] is by taking the ball away from
congress by some new currency
| action before January. Such a
development would not surprise
Washington.
State Department Quiet
The administrations foreign
affairs slate is about clean agin.
Russian recognition is accom-
plished. Cuba shows signs of set
Ting down. The discussions of
war debts, South American trade
and disarmament have either died
entirely, or gone into quiescence.
Washington has divorced itself,
on paper at least, from the
European tangle.
Barring untoward developments.
the state department promises to
take back seat in the news for
the present.
Old.timers in Washington
smiled when they heard of
Acting Secretary Morgen-
thau's, bIue-PenciI order.
Many painful incidents
have grown out Of similar
abortiye efforts to keep of
| ficials from expressing their
views to newspapermen or in
speeches without higher-uP
approval in advance.
When department is hous-
ing dissension, as the treasury
4 has been, explosions are sure
to occur. and they are much
louder when compression has
| been applied. Besides. such
a ban ON news never has
| worked in peaee-time.
I, Anti-Inflationists Busy
On the initiation front, the
'antis" appear to be laying down
the heavier preparatory barrage.
/ Hearing, perhaps, how many
publicity men are on the govern
ment payroll, those against in
flation are loading the mail of
Washington correspondents with
speeches and pamphlets.
To the brain trust, the irony of
Fit is that SO many of these anti
inflationary pronouncements come
from college professors.

4 certain backward merchant Of Key

A certain backward merchant of Key
West boasts that he sold a definite number
of an article in common use without adver-
Using. Has this merchant ever thought that
he would probably have doubled his sales
had he advertised? Surely something
the people know about viii sell ever so
much faster than an article that Is COM
paratively unknown. Most desirable wares
now are nationally advertised and the local
merchants benefited from that advertising,
even though he himself has not advertised

SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS
WARNED BY FEENEY
Safety Director Points Out
Duty on Warrants.

Drivers of school buses must
swear warrants for arrest of motor
lists alleged to have violated the law
in passing, Al Feeney, state safety
director, ruled Friday.
In circular letter to township
trustees, Feeney pointed out that
many arrests have been made on
the charge of school children who
get wrong license numbers.
Under the law, no car can pass
a school bus that has halted.
Feeney's letter also called atten-
ton to the law which makes trus-
tees responsible, even to the extent
of criminal prosecution, for an i'm
properly equipped school bus. He
cited the safety appliances, such as
proper lights and arm signals, that
are required as equipment.
