Inaugural Sidelights

Washington policemen on
special duty during the :naugu-
raj feel peeved. For, they say,
they are forced to work, giving
up their day off, while the
Philadelphia policemen who
have been brought here to as
sist are being paid $40 each for
the work and all their expenses.
Police had difficulty in keep
ing back several hundred ticket
holders who sought to cross
Pennsylvania Avenue at Four
teenth Street to reach their
seats as the Presidential party
passed en- route to the Capitol.
The crowd, intent on getting
to it's place, attempted to break
through the police lines, but
was held back until the Presi-
dentiaE cars had passed.
While the crowds made trav-
cling of any kind a real adven-
ture, a young colored boy, Ed

his way, making a passage
wherever he could for Jack

72D CONGRESS
LEAVES HEAVY
PROBLEMS

The Seventy-second Congress
born on a rising tide Of Demo
cratic popularity in 1881, went
peacefully to its constitutional
death today with an impressive
legislative record but leaving a
host of problems to its successor
The overwhelmingly Demo
cratic Seventy-third Congress
came into existence at noon. Only
the new Senate met then to
swear in Vice President John N.
Garner and its new membership.
The new Congress will meet
shortly in special session to enact
the incoming administrations S
legislative remedies for existing
economic conditions.
Ratified Moratorium
The old Congress grappled with
some of the most important eco
nomic problems ever to confront
legislative body in all the his
tory of parliaments. It's most
important achievements were to
ratify President Hoover's war
debt moratorium, create the
$4,000, 900, 900 Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation, liberalize the
Federal reserve system, grant
Philippine independence, estab-
lish new Federal home loan banks
and propose repeal Of the Eight
eenth Amendment.
In its closing hours, it enacted
the Smith cotton bill, authorizing
exchange of options on Govern
ment-owned surplus cotton or re-
duced acreage by the growers.
This measure tended to show the
way to recovery to millions of
citizens dependent upon cotton
crops.
It also passed the Fletcher
Steagall bill, granting five-year
moratorium on farm loans by the
Federal Farm Loan Board and
a new bankruptcy act, giving re-
lief to individuals, farmers and
the railroads from their pressing
Indebtedness.
SuDmltCed Dry Repeal
The old Congress dealt def.
nitely with the prohibition issue.
It submitted repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment to con-
ventions to be elected by the
people in the States. The House
passed a bill legalizing beer, but
this died in the Senate.
There was one historic feature
to the death of the Seventy-sec-
ond Congress. It's passing marked
the passing of lame duck" ses-
sions. The new Congress must
die by January 3, 1895, after
having convened it's second ses-
sion exactly one year earlier.
And another historical record
will be achieved when the Sev-
enty-third dies-because it will
have the shortest life of any
Congress in the history of the
Union. BY expiring on January
3, 1885, it will have existed just
go days shorter than any previ-
Gus Congress.

attended any inauguration-cer-
tainly not in recent years. Peo-
pie were perched in trees, on the
Capitol roof and under the very
dome itself.
There was a ripple of applause
as the wives of the incoming and
outgoing Presidents took their
seats on the platform, already
crowded with notables-the new
cabinet members, the black robed
justices of the Supreme Court of
the U. S., Senators, Representa-
tives and their wives.
Mrs. Hoover Chats
Mrs Hoover stood on the left
of the platform facing the crowd.
She was chatting and laughing
with Charles Curtis, who only q
few minutes before passed out
Of public life. Perhaps she was
relieved that she, too, was about
to retire from the public eye.
Certainly her demeanor was that
Of one carefree and happy.
On the right of the platform
was Mrs. Roosevelt, attired in
the gown that has introduced a
new color, Eleanor blue" Mrs.
Hoover wore brown. She chatted
with Vice President Garner and
exchanged greetings with &C.
quantances.
President Hoover preceded Mr..
Roosevelt to the platform. There
was scattered cheering as the
crowd caught a glimpse of him.
Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes was already awaiting
him, his head incased in a black
skull cap.
Behind the President came Mr..
Roosevelt, leaning on the arm of
his eldest son, James.
Hail to the Chief"
There was a flourish of trumpets
and the Marine Band broke into
Hail to the Chief"
A tremendous roar went up
from the crowd at the first
glimpse of the new President.
There was slight pause as the
new President reached the ros-
trum, while radio announcers in
formed the world of what was
about to take place.
Chief Justice Hughes removed
his skull cap. He held in his
hand the heavy old Dutch family
Bible that has been in the Roose-
velt family for 800 years.
Clearly and sharply the voice of
the Chief Justice intoned the
constitutional oath and Just as
clearly and sharply Mr.. Roosevelt
repeated it after him. He be-
came the Thirty-first President of
the United States at 1:07 p. m.
Face Set, Serious
AS he turned and faced the
great crowd, his face was grim
and set. The famous Roosevelt
smile was entirely missing. With
out loss of time he plunged i'm
mediately into his speech, address
ing himself to president Hoover,
the Chief Justice and my friends
His voice was firm and clear.
Through the amplifiers his words
were carried to the outer fringes
Of the great crowd.

Schedule calling for arrival of
80 special trains at four-minute
intervals in the Capital during
the morning brought approx
mately $4,000 more visitors to the
Inauguration.
1t is estimated that approx
mately 400 trains, 500 busses and
$4,000 private automobiles will
arrive in the city before the cere-
monies get under way, bringing

today resumed it's inquiry into
the abduction of Charles Boett-

After fighting his way through
to Fifth and D Streets North
west, where he was to meet Mr..
SilVerman in time for him to
ride the mule, the boy found
that no one seemed to know
who Mr.. Silverman was.
The mule, gaily decorated
with red, white and blue trim
mings, seemed to lose any pa
trlotlsm which Eldridge might
have inStilled in him whenever
the band struck up tune.
Each new blast from the inStru-
ments brought series of kicks
from "Jack Garner" A lunch
room proprietor told the boy to
bring the mule in and he would
put mustard on him.
Eldridge stuck to his task,
however, even though a large
traffic policeman began eyeing
him when crowd gathered.
Two hundred persons who
waited for more than three
hours, standing at Pennsylvania
and West Executive Avenues,
had their long stand in vain.
For police came and ordered
them out of their vantage
place.
Mrs. Damon Runyon, wife of
the noted Hearst writer, found
out a few moments after she
entered the stands in the Court
of Honor that her purse was
missing. She is in town with
her husband. who was covering
the speeches at the Capitol.
While persons seated in this
section were listening to the
broadcast addresses at the Capt.
tol their attention was arrested
by a police patrol which sped
up to a spot opposite the We
viewing stands. Police and fire
men stationed in that vicinity
Immediately congregated around
the wagon to get coffee and
sandwiches.
Boy Scouts began forming
outside of the stands, and then
marched two by two up the
Avenue and took places in front
of the stands. The crowd, how
ever, apparently paid little at
tention to the drill.
"Donk," a little donkey from
Falls Church, Va, was selected
to lead the Tammany delega
tion in the fourth division of
the parade. Jimmy Powell, -,
and Joe Harmon, IL, were
named to lead "Donk."
Eager to get as close as DOS
sible to see President Roosevelt
take his oath of office, the
crowd in the Capitol Plaza
several times broke through
the ropes, and a number of
Marines were called to the aid
of police to get the crowd back
in place and put up new ropes.
The crowds at Pennsylvania
Avenue and Eleventh Street
broke into loud applause when
Vice President Garner made
his inaugural address. The ad-
dress was heard at that point
by means of a large amplifier.
William "Texas" Trantham,
who came from his home in
Texaricana to see the Inaugural
ton of his fellow statesman as
Vice President, amused the
crowd by giving a display of
trick lariat-throwing as the
fourth division of the Inaugural
parade was forming.

VACATION JOBS

The school boy or girl who has
obtained a job for the summer in
some store or factory. probably re-
joices more than anything else over
the pocket money the job brings in.
1t is a wonderful feeling to young
ster, who up to now has had to hum
bly, march up to Father every time
cash was needed. The little pay en-
velope may be a small one, but those
few dollars will be sweeter than
any ever earned afterward.'
But the dollars in the pay envel-
ope are not the principal compensa-
ton. The best reward is the expe-
rience. If the young worker makes
good in that store or factory, he or
she has begun the long job sof ac-i
quiring standing in the world.
The way the beginner behaves in
that job may shape a business future
for years. If the new, clerk is will
ing to work, keeps the mind on the
job, tries to learn, the first step up
ward is taken on that long path that
leads to a successful life.

JIMMY IIATTERN

What a story that Texas flier,
Jimmy Mattern, will have to tell,
when he lands in civilization, after
his desperate adventures in the
lands of eternal solitude! Few peo-
pie could stand what he has been
through, with wanderings of 16 days
in the desolate wilderness of north
ern Siberia. in which his pitiful sup
ply of food gave out in three short
days.
The world is said to have grown
soft. Many people can not be per-
suaded to move into the next state
by the promise of a job. 1t seems
terrible to most folks not to know
where their next meal is coming
from, or in what bed they will sleep
when night drops her curtain. But
we still have daring souls like Mat
tern who will risk everything for
achievement and fame. The world
gathers experience from their ad-
ventures.

FRIGHTENING

The government issues warnings
to people who are said to be taking
advantage of the rise in price of
commodities, to charge more for
their product than their added ex-
penses justify. During the war time
we had a scandal of profiteering,
people who seemed to think only of
enriching themselves, and who were
not moved by the peril of the nation.
That spirit is by no means dead.
There are plenty of people who if
they can, will use the difficulties
through which the nation is passing
to acquire riches for themselves.
The country sympathizes with the
claim of every honest business that
it must pay its own way and give
its owners compensation for their
effort. But it will not tolerate the
actions of those who seek to get rich
in time of trouble.

BUSINESS, WINNING OR LOsING9

In order to attract business, busi-
ness people have to give an impress
sion that they are winners. If they
act as if they were losers, people
dislike to patronize them, and they
are likely to lose still more.
People judge whether a business
is a winner or a loser, in part by
the exterior appearance of the build
ing in which it is located. A man
may be an excellent business per-
son, a hustler, and determined to
please the public. But if he is To-
Gated in a building that looks shah
by or run down. people get an un-
favorable impression. Now if that
building could be improved, paint
ed if it needs it, or otherwise made
to look clean and up-to-date, it will
be suggestion that that business
is doing we'll, and is able to please
and satisfy the people. and that i'm
preston will draw in trade.

SMALL CROPS

In former years information tha
the farmers had harvested big
crops of wheat, cotton, corn. an6
other staples. was the best kind oi
news. The sun of prosperity was
considered to be running high when
these great harvests were gathered
in. The nation rejoiced over the
bounty of nature. people began to
spend more money, and an impulse
of new prosperity was felt in every
village.
But today, what a contrast exists!
We are now told that the crops have
been more seriously damaged than
at any time for the past 80 years.
And yet this is considered good
news. The more the crops fall off,
the higher the prices of stocks and
bonds go, and the more confidence
the country feels.
It sometimes seems as if the
whole nation had been stood on its
head, as if we were living in kind
of Topsy-Turvy country. 1t seems
like the tale of Alice in Wonder
land, where everything is opposite
to what you migAt expect.
1t is not conceivable that a sue
cession of poor crops could be con-
sidered a helpful development. But
at a time when the farms have been
producing more than the country is
able to buy. and when great sur
pluses have been carried over from
previous years, it is not SO strange
that a poor crop for one year will
be helpful in bringing about more
normal conditions. The farmer will
not be at so great an expense to cul-
tivate, harvest, and ship his small
crop, and the greatly increased
price should give him some profit
for the year.
It is said that people eat just as
much in hard times, but this is
doubtful. Innumerable families
have bought food recently as spar
ingly as they could. When the mills
and shops run on full time, the fam
ly that ate but meagerly because it
was fed on unattractive leftovers,
will have good square meals again.
rhe crops will move to the con-
iumer as they used to. But if the
armers form the habit Of producing
more than the market can buy, they
will be headed for permanent in
olvency.

UNCLE SANPS DEBT

Did your Uncle Samuel turn pale
when his treasurer handed him hi;
annual statement June 80? Whether
he did or not, these figures should
induce him to spit on his hands and
resolve to work as never before.
On June 80 the United States gov
ernment debt was $22,5S9, 900, ,OOO.
In 1919 at the end CT the war, it was
$25, ,4S2, 100000. At the rate the gov
ernment now proposes to borrow
money to aid public works and relief
projects, it seems likely that that
1919 figure will be exceeded before
another June 80.
Uncle Sam can pay his debts, ev-
cry penny of them, provided he bal
ances his budget. If he keeps spend
ing indefinitely more than he earns,
people will be likely, as in the case
of other chronic borrowers, to dodge
around the corner when he comes
looking for money.
The operating costs of the govern
mentsfor the fiscal year. ending June
%, exceeded the revenue by $1,325,-
100000, after allowing for amounts
paid on the old debt New taxes and
drastic economies should nearly
wipe out that deficit for operating
expenses this year.
The debt burden is not too heavy
for the country to carry in times
of prosperity. though it should be
reduced as fast as possible. The in
terest charge will be somewhere
around sS00,OOO,O0O. about $3.50 a
year for each man, woman, and
child Most people waste more than
that on foolish pursuits.
From 1920 to 1880, the American
people kept reducing their taxes.
Cutting down revenue with a $780,
O00,0OO.O00 debt hanging over them,
might have been good politics, but it
looks now like a business mistake.
Our people will have to keep pay
ing heavy taxes for long time. But
people with heavy debts to pay off
have often remarked that the exist
snce of such burdens melted them

out of mischief.

COOPERATION

The government is now trying to
induce the manufacturing industries
to cooperate in establishing codes
of fair competition. 1t believes that
such fair competition will tend to
restore the purchasing power of the
people.
This is the view of business ex-
perts. and if it applies in the field of
nation wide industry, it applies
equally in the business of a single
town. If you get the people and the
business concerns to cooperating
with each other, working unitedly
for common ends, they can accom-
plish far better results than they
will if it is a case of everyone for
himself. No town ever went ahead
when its business concerns and its
people were all pulling in opposite
directions, and working for con-
flicting ends.
Milford chronicle., 1933-07-21
THE CODES OF INDUSTRY

Codes for all the leading indus
tries are being framed at Washing
ton. Can they draw up schedules
of running time. wages, ETC., that
will fit all conditions and permit all
industries to operate? For instance,
it costs twice as much to live in
some places as in others. How much
higher wages must be paid in the
high cost town? In many indus
tries, the company supplies dwell
lings for workers, and the rent of
the dwelling is considered part of
the pay. How shall such compensa-
tion be figured?
These are but two of innumerable
questions. Sometimes the problem
of organizing 10000 industries by
such rules seems insoluable. Yet if
people will only be fair and reason
able, all such difficulties can be ad-
iuSted.
