This is a new idea which has

waiting until they're actually

What these people do now is

TWO MILLION JOBS WAITING

AS Secretary of Agriculture Hyde prepares to
step out of the cabinet he at last to the pos
sibilty of national forests employing idle men at
work of definite value to the nation.
year ago Mr. Hyde was laughing merrily at
suggestions by Franklin D. Roosevelt that this be
done
Today, in response to questioning from another
New Yorker interested in public employment, Sena-
tor Wagner Mr.. Hyde reports that work waiting to
be done in the national forests alone could keep
two million men busy for a month.
He finds that the cost of this work based on
wages of $3.50 day in the west and $240 a day
in the east would cost only $l50O0O O0O or half of
the amount provided last summer for hunger loans
For this money the United States would receive
protection of the national forests from their most
deadly enemy, fire. Fences would be built to pro-
tect ranges. Water resources would be developed
Public camps would be improved.
New trees would be planted to replace denuded
areas, and eradication of insects and plant diseases
would be fastened.
1t is hard to think of better way in which
$l50000000 might be invested. 1t would save the
nation many times that sum in preventing floods

lands fertile and conserving timber supplies to say

SMALL LOAN INTEREST

Once again the question of how much institutions
which lend money in amounts under $500 shall be
permitted to charge as interest is before the egs-
lature.
At the present time the law allows 40 per cent
year, admittedly rate which would destroy any
business or industry if borrowed for purposes of
operation.
But this money is borrowed by those whose chief
business is keeping alive, borrowed in desperation
and in emergencies.
That the business has been than usually
profitable in the past is evidenced by the large num-
bers who have gone into it.
All that is required is license of good moral
character, if any public official is capable of pass
ing such a subject No one of the companies is
compelled to file report with the state. There is
official information what profits are made,
how much money is loaned in this manner how
great are the losses because of failure to pay.
The question of what is fair rate of interest
has become matter of debate between money
lenders and those who object that the present legal
rate is intoerable and too heavy for those who
least can afford to pay.
The commission which recommended changes in
the banking laws made worthwhile suggestions
to reforms, and reforms admittedly needed,
That commission did not attempt to pass upon, but
did by inference ndorse the present rate of interest
Bills in former legislatures have been mysterious
ly killed although they have been presented at re-
curing sessions Some Of the measures have
doubtedy been introduced in bad faith, in behalf
of lobbyists later hired to suppress them. Others
presented a popular demand.
One suggestion of control which seems worth
consideration is a graduated rate OF interest the
amount of the loan. Obviously it costs to give
and collect loan of $40 than it does one of $500,
figured in percentages.
If the az per cent Is fair to the $40 borrower, it
is unfair to the $500 borrower.
The first reform should be to drag the whole
business out into the open and make it subject to
official scrutiny. No license should be issued to those
who refuse to give the public the facts, for, after ALL
If it has any justification in the social order it is

should be brought out into the OPEN The companies
should have chance to defend their rates. if they
can and defend them openly, not in huddles with
legislators.
The people. too, should have chance to speak
and make emphatic their demands that this business
be not permitted to place heavy burdens upon des-
perate people.
In the meanwhile, the credit union idea is fast
growing and the day may arrive when cooperative
lending may make the whole business obsolete and

President VIII be busy organizing his admin
istration. In April he will be calling and dealing
with special session Of congress- which probably
will be meeting for several months trying to balance
the budget levy new taxes pass farm relief, repeal
prohibition and cope with the depression
BY that time the world economic conference will
be meeting in London and the far eastern crisis will
demand attention.
But, meanwhile, the day Of wholesale default
on foreign debts will be approaching rapidly When
the debt payments fall due the debtors will
default-unless a new settlement has been made
Such settlement can not be made over night
Several months, at best, are required for the
negotiations, which will cover not only debts but
tariffs and disarmament as we'll
Hence the time element is vital. The American
public understands that France and five other
debtors defauted in December, when Great Britain
and others paid But the public does not understand
that the British in making the December payment
said it the last payment under the present
terms.
So we have had fair warning. If we come to next
summer without having afforded the debtors suf-
fcient time to negotiate the settlement they have
been requesting for months, we shall be to blame
for the general default that results. Default will
hurt the debtors but it will hurt U.s. as the creditors
much more.
For that reason, it is to be hoped that the I'M

Just Plain Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

QUIETLY and automatically" writes an agitated
gentleman women have entered every field of
endeavor. They control 10 per cent of national
wealth and this gives them almost tyrannical power
THE greatest fallacy committed by the voters
of the country was to grant suffrage to women and
put them on par with men. The consequences have
seen disastrous"
Disastrous to whom, may ask? Certainly not to
women, if to take these words as truth And
so long as there many more women on
earth than men, it seems to me that this may prove
nothing more startling than that victory goes to the
strong-a pet masculine contention, you will re-
member.
Thirteen years is very short time in the history
of a country. And if in thirteen years American
have been able to grab 70 per cent of money
from the men-who also seem quite fond of hav-
ing it-and OF taking jobs right out from under male
noses, then I think we're pretty smart.
Indeed, it strikes me that we deserve suffrage
more than the gentlemen do especially if we are
to Judge the question by the benefits we ourselves
have derived from it.
CERTAINLY to force such astute and determined
~ creatures into retirement, now when we stand in
dire need of subtlety and diplomacy and acumen in
our relationships with other countries would be a
very short-Sghted policy
If we're so expert-and has not the gentleman
argued that?-why not put us into the cabinet and
see what We can do? Obviously it would be absurd
to restrict our powers to mere kitchen work, as he
advocates.
Upon sober second thought, I feel sure he will

Americans. That being the case perhaps it would
be well to turn everything over to the ladies for
a time
If we are able by sheer force of personality and
wit to take his rights and his money from the
splendiferous American man in only thirteen years.
We could have the world in our pockets within the
next half century.

COOPERATION IS NEEDED

OF all the many steps which must be taken before
the war debt problem is disposed Of, only one is
simple and easy. That is intelligent cooperation
between the President and the President-elect
For two and half months that step was de-
layed. Now-if we are to credit unofficial reports
of the White House conversation Friday-that step
has been taken.
Official negotiations, of course. must wait until
March 4, as made clear by the White House state
ment. But essential preparatory work can be carried
on semi-ofhcially Great Britain and others will not
be told on March that the new administration has

Details of this arrangement are meager. That
is unimportant. All that the public need know is
that the lame duck system longer is blocking the
conduct of American foreign relations
Indeed. 1t may be better that the details of the
cooperation between Mr. Hoover and Mr. Roosevelt
remain confidential, so the partisan minded sup
porters of neither make political profit out of
the situation.
The important thing is that preparation for the
long. hard negotiations begin now. In March the

being out of work for year, he

where in New Hampshire.

Yet in spite Of the fact that

FOR MUSCLE SHOALS

Another official party is going TO Muscle Shoals.
But unlike the commissions and boards that
have viewed that great power project during the last
twelve years with no tangible results except talk
this group is composed of men who are likely to do
things.
1t will be led by President Elect Roosevelt; it will
include Senator George Norris of Nebraska who has
battled for years for the Shoals
This group wants to put Muscle Shoals to work;
a majority apparently want to let the government
that owns it start the operation.
That is the sensible and efficient thing to do as
Norris has been insisting these years
President who vetoed the Norris plan will leave
the White House March 4, to be supplanted by
President who has indicated he favors the Nor
ris plan.
If Mr.. Roosevelt has any doubt about the feas-
ibty of Senator Norris proposal for governmental
operation of the Shoals, personal survey of that
great virtually idle power plant should resolve it in
favor of the Nebraskans plan.
For that is the way out.

Editor Times-In reply to the
letter written by E. A. Bell in
Wednesdays paper, in regard to
narroW-mindednesS, I wish to
state that I am daily passenger
on the so-called Illinois Shelby
line. My experiences to date have
been a thirty minute wait in be-
low zero temperature after this
service was inaugurated, and
forced TO stand morning and eve
ming, when for cents one is en-
titled to a seat.
I have seen as many as LOG fares
rung up on one run south of
Washington street before any pas
senger was discharged. These cars
seat about fifty persons.
The new street cars are o. k.
if they didn't take half the cars
off the line of Shelby street. 1
noticed while waiting at Illinois
and Washington for Shelby car,
there was an abundance of ILL
nois- Union station and illinois,
Mapleton cars, and all that north
side service, but for the immense
vicinity of the Shelby line, I think
it is an outrage to force working
people to wait twenty minutes in
the evening after hard days
work.
What we need is more cars on
this line; any kind is preferable.
Even the well-known "dinky"
would be appreciated.
In closing, I wish to dwell on
the safety idea Mr.. Bell speaks
of. The motorman can not con-
troll these cars and operate them
safely with people standing, be-
cause he does not know when to
close the doors after passengers
have been discharged at the
middle door, but had to call on
the passengers for an o. k. to
close this door, because he could
not see it.
The only way to overcome this
difficulty is to increase the num-
Der of cars on the Shelby line, if
only during the morning and eve
ming rush hours.

during the last year was to find
the highest and driest spot in the
eastern hemisphere.
The site was wanted for an as
Economical observatory, at which
the suns radiation could be meas
ured daily.
This search ended with the
choice of Mt. st. Catherine on the
Sinai peninsula, not far from Mt.
Sinai. In fact, some Biblical au-
thorities think that it is much
more likely that the mountain
which Moses is said to have as
cended was Mt. st. Catherine and
not Mt. Sinai.

now maintains number of OBJ
servatories in different parts of
the world, where fluctuations in
the amount of heat and light ra-
dated by the sun are recorded
daily.
DR.. Charles G. Abbot, the secre-
tary of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, and himself a famous as
tronomer, believes that the day
will come when it will be possible
to predict weather for long
periods of time from a study of
the suns radiation.
Other expeditions collected rare
minerals in Mexico and prehis-
toric tools and weapons from Eur
ope.
