NEW Y0RK-(FP)-Confirmatio
of a recent story carried exclusively
by Federated Press came when the
Journal of Commerce, organ of big
business, editorially pricked the bub-
bic of "absurdly exaggerated ideas of
the stimulus to employment resulting
from legalizing 80 per cent beer"
An estimate of 100000 jobs created
by beer is "ultra-optimistic," it says.

RELIEF PROGRAM IS SCORED
AS WHOLLY INADEQUATE
Railroad Labor Head Says Roosevelt Plan Will Do Little
to Aid Idle and Calls Pay Proposed for Men in Con-
servation Camps "Vicious Attack on Decent Standards
of Living"

Mr.. Whitney expressed approval of
part of the Presidents program, but
denounces it as a whole as "weak"
and inadequate" Of the conserva-
ton part of the program, he says:
ut would place the governments
endorsement upon poverty at a bare
subsistence wage. Further, it would
reach about one unemployed mar out
of sixty.
81 might add that such a scheme
is misleading to the public as it will
naturally assume that the government
has taken an advanced step to re-
lieve unemployment when as a mat
ter of fact the government is mere
ly placing it's approval upon a plan
that will place these workmen on a
level with the Chinese c%oolie."
Relief Grants Approved.
The Presidents proposal to give
grants for relief work to the states is
approved by the railroad labor head.
He also approves Roosevelt's public
works la~bor-creating program, if ade-
quate wages are paid with the expen-
diture of at least S., 1000 900, as
advocated by the Railway Labor Ex-
e~cutives' Association.
Pointing out that the Presidents
message outlining his program is ST.
lent on the shorter work day, Whit
ney says:
81 assert without fear of successful
contradiction that any program that
does not embrace a comprehensive
plan Immediately to reduce hours OF
service without a reduction of daily,
weekly and monthly earnings will not
reach our basic trouble as purchas-
ing power will not be thereby in
creased, and such a program will only
serve as a palliative or temporary
stimulant.

COOKING AND !
SEWING TO Be
DEMONSTRATED

Mrs. Lydia Fonn-H Hansen, of the
Extension Service of the Alaska
Agricultural College and School of
Mines, who is making her annual
trip to Southeast Alaska, plans to
give cooking demonstrations fea-
turing the preparation of low cost
foods while she is here. She will
hold clothing clinics for local
dressmakers who are interested in
remodeling garments.
From Juneau Mrs. Fohn-H Hansen
will go to Skagway where she will
be until October IA, then spending
a week in Sitka and from there
continue to Petersburg and Wran-
gell. She will return to her head
quarters at the College early IN
December.
Although very few clubs have
been organized by the Extension
Service, clubs already in existence
have co-operated and indicated
real interest in home and COM
munity affairs. Mrs. Fohn- Hansen
said.
Receive Fan Mail
1.-The question as to whether or
not the extension service has been
successful during the three years
it has been in operation could best
be answered by quotations from
our fan mail" Mrs. Fohn Hansen
said. Every mail brings letters
of appreciation of the help 1t has
BEEN" she declared. The news
letter goes to $50 isolated or small
town homemakers with the latest
information on nutrition. with rec
ines, patterns and suggestions for
handwork and SO forth. The news
bulletin goes to 300 farmers with
information on seed, soil, peat con-
troll, gardening and other matters
of interest. The greater the CO.
operation of the clubs, and leaders
in a community, the more success
full the work will be, according to
Mrs. F'ohn-Hansen.

One-fourth OF the budget Of the

est economic drain in the city Of
indianapolis, 1t was revealed by the
Indianapolis community plan COM
mittes OF the Indianapolis Chamber
OF Commerce.
To be exact. the 10 per cent Of
the city's population living in these
costly areas received 254 per cent
Of the expenditures OF the society
during 1882.
In all s97 900 was expended for
family welfare within this 10 per
cent Of population out Of total
budget OF $4,000 which was pro-
vided for the society by the Indian
apolis Community Fund during
1892.
The average annual per capita
cost in the area of greatest eco
nomic drain is s254 which repre-
sents a portion Of the total per cap
tia annual cost of s27 % for the
nine public services used as a basis
for this study.
Nine areas receiving the greatest
per capita OF service and relief fall
within the areas of greatest eco
nomic drain and all OF the census
tracts within these areas Of eco
nomic drain receive more than the
average service and relief for the
city which amounted to about 81

The figures for welfare service
and relief reflect to p large extent
the conditions in indianapolis Of

Full religious tolerance is one of those

Its roots have not sunk as deeply into the

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
TODAY
WE welcome Today, the new publication
w of Raymond Moley and Vincent Astor,

WE welcome Today, the new publication
w of Raymond Moley and Vincent Astor,
which appeared this week. "A political weekly,
national in interest, liberal in outlook, and
sincerely dedicated to independent thought
and action" is the description given by Mr..
Astor in his publishers announcement. Any
addition to the ranks Of free and liberal jour-
nalism is welcome at any time. In time of
crisis the need for independent thought is
even greater.
Much of the first issue is devoted to q
militant attack, by articles and cartoons, on
NRA chiselers. The tone is good humored
and not pompous. The appeal definitely is to
the rank and file rather than to little band
of intellectuals.
But the gay crusading spirit evident in
most of the articles and cartoons, and even in
Mr.. Astor's announcement of aims, is some
what lacking in DR.. Moley's page editorial en-
titled Wolf, Wolff"
The professor is much worried over the
question whether the new deal is dictatorship
or revolution, or just the simon-pure democ-
racy of the founding fathers. He is sure it is
the latter-and ends by putting "a curse" on
all who disagree with him. His purpose seems
to be to convince the prospective reader that
this magazine is very respectable and safe.
With that academic question of revolution
out of the way, and with the assurance of
responsibility given, Dr. Moley in future issues
will proceed to the more practical business of
throwing light on actual economic and politi-
cal problems of today.
Unless all signs fail, the chiselers and
snipers are out to bring down the blue eagle.
DR.. Moley knows a lot about the blue eagle.
He and his magazine can do more than defend
that bird. They can help it to fly higher.
