President Extends Alaska Activity Through Win-

Authority to continue in full the Alaska Emergency Conservation program during the coming Win ter has been given by President Roosevelt, it was announced today by Charles H. Flory, Regional Forester, United States Forest Ser vice, under whose direction the program is being carried out. This is in accord with the action of the President recently in extend ing the same work in the States for a second six-months period.
 The present arrangements will be continued, MT. Flory announc- ed. The Forest Service will con- tinue to employ the labor, main tain camps and supervise their ac- tivities, and the War Department make payment.
 Projects for the winter months are already under consideration by the Forest Service, MT. F'lory said. There is certain to be real need for this kind of relief next win ter, and we are gratified that the President has authorized its con- tinuance," he said.

CITIES TURN TO UNCLE SAM

ONE of the most interesting things that
~ are happening these days is the pro-
found shift that seems to De taking place in
the relationship between federal and city
governments
Just where We are heading, in this field.
is not yet clear. The things that already have
happened, coupled With the developments
that lie just ahead, look sometimes like the
outlines Of very deep and comprehensive
change in our whole system OF local govern
ment
Consider a few of the ways in which the
federal government is getting it's hands on
things that always have been considered
strictly the cities own business
Vast amounts of money from the federal
treasury going and will go to the cities
not only to feed the poor, eradicate slums,
build houses and finance other public works,
but 10 enable the cities to pay their teachers,
their police and their other employees.
The gangstcrs who have overawed the
authorities in so many cities are being at
tackled directly by Uncle Sam. Advices from
Washington indicate that the government
will seek broader powers than now exist so
that it may tackle this evil more effectively
than is now possible
Such cities as Detroit have petitioned the
federal government for new kind of relief
in the matter of municipal bonds. Some
cities not only can not pay their bills, but
can not carry their bonded Indebtedness; and
here, again. Uncle Sam has been asked to
come to the rescue
On top of all of these things, the admins
tration's plan for economic reorganization,
as exemplifed in the Muscle Shoals Tennes-
see valley program, looks forward to moth
ing less than a redistribution of the coun-
trys population a scaling down in the
physical size of some cities a transplanta-
ticn Of people in way that ultimately might
become tremendous in scope.
Add all these things together and you
get an entirely new picture of local govern
ment. The old order, under which local gov
ernments were to all intents and purposes
completely independent, seems to be dis
solving with amazing speed.
new lineup is in the making, and it may
produce changes that will alter the whole
face of our society.

ART THE IRRITANT

TNDIVIDUALISM is the essence Of art The
greater the artist the stronger his urge
toward non-conformity.
Whether the story be old or modern, it is
the same-Cellin and his clash with the rich
patrons of medieval times or Rivera and Radio
City.
1t was to the credit of the Rockefellers
that they recognized the great genius of
Rivera and employed him. 1t is only history
repeating that the pressure of Rveras nom
conformity should irritate to the breaking
point. So Rivera is out.
Complete freedom for arts indvidualiSm
never will come this side of the hereafter
Then, as Kipling puts it:
Only the master shall praise us and only
the master shall blame;
And no one shall work for money and no
one shall work for fame,
But each for the JOY of the working and
each in his separate star,
Shall draw the thing as he sees it for the

The only way for the art sponsor in this
world to remain safe and satisfied and I'M
ruTled is to hire a kalSominer

TARIFF ARMISTICE

british public opinion has helped the
OLondon government to reverse its policy of
opposition to the Roosevelt tariff truce. Brit
ish acceptance of the truce, even with res
ervations, apparently assures an international
economic armistice until the world monetary
and economic conference meets June IL
With this precedent, it should be easier for
the President to extend the truce through
that conference. after which it is hoped some
kind of formal tariff reduction agreement will
be made effective.
The temporary truce will do more than
create a better atmosphere for the important
.s-orld conference. 1t also will stop an cpl
demic of bargaining tariffs in many coun-
tries.
AS an evidence of its good faith, the Roose-
Welt administration is opposing the efforts of
q house group to write virtual trade embargo
into the short hour and minimum wage bill.
Moreover. the President has indicated that
provisions in the farm bill allowing import
taxes on agricultural imports will not be used
during any tariff truce.
In the past, it has been impossible to get
even the nations together. When Great Brit

FRIDAY MAY u. 1888.
JUSTICE FOR VETERANS

THE White House has reaffrmed the Presi-
dents pledge to protect veterans suffering
from actual war injuries This is good news.
The administration made blunder when it
interpreted the economy law in such way as
10 force unjust cuts in compensation for serv-
ice-connectod disability
But the promptness of the administration
in confessing its mistake and promising relief
is strong evidence that the Presidents spirit
OF fair play can be trusted in this matter
This newspaper long as urged economy in
general veteran payments which have been
pulling the federal government deeper and
deeper into debt. But we always have insisted
on adequate care for veterans who are victims
Of actual war injuries.
Indeed, it was by cutting unreaSOnably large
benefits to less needy veterans that adequate
payments to real sufferers were to be assured
That also was the policy Of Mr.. Roosevelt
It therefore is somewhat difficult to under
stand why the administration in the execution
of the law distorted the Roosevelt policy.
At any rate, the protests Of injured veterans
from many parts of the country have brought
blle issue 10 LIle president 5 personal aLJeQLlOn
in time to prevent widespread injustice
In addition to a pledge to review the regu-
lations for the specific purpose of fixing more
equitable levels of payment, the White House
now promises to keep open all necessary re-
gional Offices of the veterans administration
and to keep all hospitals running, pending the
survey
Obviously, no amount of good intention on
the part of the White House can achieve just
administration of this law unless individual
veterans have ready facilities for appealing
injustces-which means plenty of regional
Offices to receive complaints and to handle
them with sympathy and intelligence.
The issue still is as clear cut as ever In all
the complicated details such as ratings for
compensation, the important thing is to diff
ferentiate between those who are suffering
from war injuries and those who are not.
The government must not let red tape pre-
vent full justice to the man disabled in service.

SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT

IN case you're looking for signs of business
revival you might be interested in reading
the early reports from Great Lakes shippers.
During the first two weeks of this years
navigation season, more than $4,000 tons of
freight moved through the ST. Mary's Falls
canal. between Lakes Superior and Huron.
The first two weeks of last years season
sent only 100000 tons through the canal.
Wheat movements are up more than 100 per
cent coal more than 500 per cent, iron ore
more than 100 per cent.
Business on the Great Lakes freight lines,
quite clearly is better than it was last year
at this time. And you might remember that
these lake steamers carry those bulk COM
modities-coel, iron ore, and grain-whoSe
movement is the very backbone of the ma
tons business
If this improvement continues, good deal
of optimism will be justified

A WOman's Viewpoint

A CUSTOM that never goes out
L A of style is the habit of telling
women in what their whole duty
consists. Children being our main
business, it is not strange that ad-
vice about raising them should come
from every quarter.
Il speaks very badly for us, sup
pose, that We seem to have put all
these excellent suggestions to such
poor use. 1t may be that we have
grown impervious to the clamors
and through sheer WEAKNESS, close
our ears to wisdom.
Anyway, such impairment re-
marks as are contained IN a letter
from a gentleman with tendencies
toward feminine reform, move me
not at all. He wonders why we
have so little authority over our
children.
I can't see" he goes on, why
you women won't learn to do at
least one thing well. Is it because
you are utterly incapable or merely
fatuous, that not one of you seems
able to make Der own youngsters

HOW 1T WORKS

GONE manufacturers during recent hearings
~ in Washington on the thirty hour week
bill complained that they will be ruined if they
have to cut their hours of operation and re-
arrange their shifts to comply with the pro-
posed legislation.
But some other large industrial plants have
tried the new scheme without waiting for
legislation, and with success.
One large firm which had this system in
operation in 1880 informs the department of
labor that the short work week has distinct
advantages from its point of view, in spite of
the fact that it increases the number of work
. ers 80 per cent, and that wage scales were kept
almost at the level paid for longer hours.
Advantages listed by the management are:
Increased daily production from the plant
as an operating unit, due to increased produc-
ton at every station or task, slight in itself,
but considerable in the aggregate
Elimination of meal periods, with their
waste time and the expense. of a large cafe
terra.
Increased return from the capital in
vested in plant and machinery, owing to the
increased rate Of plant operation.
Opportunity for recognizing the working
force to rectify inequalities and fit all pegs"
in appropriate holes
Decreased overhead, due to the fact that
the factory produces more goods for dollar
Of overhead than under the eight-hour shift
The workers employed by this plan, all
women, naturally were pleased by the new
policy They reported that they were less
tired, had more time for home duties or for
being with their children, or had more leisure
time.
The labor departments report quoting a
pleased and prosperous management is ex-
tremely timely. It comedies with the Presi-
dents appeals first to the United States
Chamber of Commerce and then to the coun-
try at large.
1t comes just as the house of representa-
tlyes, with the aid of Secretary of Labor Per-
kins, is putting into legislation the Roosevelt
policy of shorter hours, minimum wages, and
protection of employers from unfair competi-
ton.
Wise employers are supporting this meas
ure to defend them against sweatshops and to
revive the mass market by creating new pur-
chasing power throughout the country.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-05-12

its too much trouble. 1t takes
strenuous efforts to keep people on
their best behavior and even more
to make children obey.
Therefore, it's always pleasanter
for man to play golf than to study
municipal affairs so that his pock-
cts won't be picked, just as it's east
er for a mother 10 be lenient with
the children and thus get in a few
bridge games.
The woman who sets her head to
exact implicit obedience from the
family won't have time for any
thing else-and I doubt whether
she'll have great deal to show for
her efforts in the long run.
Raising a family and running q
government are equally discourage
ing You get all worn down from
trying TO have your own way.
Taking everything into considera-
ton. there's mighty little difference
between the home and the Office.
The person who sets out to be the
big boss in either place generallyjs
disliked cordially.

VANITY OF VANITIES

TT is vanity, rather than material trouble
that causes most suicides among men
So says DR.. William Muhlberg. medical di-
rector of the Union Central Life Insurance
co. OF Cincinnati; and his explanation
sounds like a good one
The thing that drives a man to take his
life is his inability to swallow his pride.
built up during his more prosperous years. p"
says Dr. Muhlberg. 1T is not fear of seeing
his children go hungry or his wife weak
ened from doing homework
1T is the agony of watching his neigh
boris satisfaction when he has to withdraw
from the country club and sell his sixteen
cylinder sedan"
The old urge to keep up with the Joneses
is one of the most powerful motives any of
us have. 1t is probably true that when a.
man finds himself losing in that silly race
he is apt to feel that his whole life is fail
ure
The vanity of man is one of the queerest
and most compelling traits that human ma
ture displays.

Your paper of May carried an
article in 1.-The Message Center"
signed by ex-A. T. & T. employe.
You made a sad mistake in not put
ting that article on page one, where
every one would be sure to read it
and know conditions as they &C.
tually are.
Your paper has a large sale
among employees of this company at
all times, but on the above date
every Indiana Bell and A. T. & t.
man was eager to read it, and if he
could afford it, buy the paper which
had the nerve to publish an article
which stated facts which if anything
were entirely too mild.
Company officials became uneasy
and a great desire is evinced to
find out the identity of the writer
and throttle him.
Some readers may say that if
conditions are as they were stated in
the eX-A. T. 81 T. employees article,
why do not the men leave the en-
ploy of the company? The answer is
simple. Men were hired fresh from
school or at an early age and,trained
IN work which is Of technical ma
ture.
They spent several years learning
the work and now they are helpless
because that training is of no use in
any other line of work and the en-
tire telephone structure of the coun-

About a month ago Governor Nc
Mutt stated that he would force
the telephone company to reduce
rates. Immediately after high
Bell official stated at a meeting of
employees that the company was
carrying an excess load of 500 men
over the state. Naturally, these
men would be laid off if reduced
rates were put in effect.
That is not true. What he should
have said was IF the rates are cut,
we will reduce the force 500 men and
make the rest of you shoulder the
