Government employees will receive
q cut of only ten per cent below their
base pay between February first and
July first, and after the latter date
their basic pay will be reduced only
five per cent. The President has au-
thority to restore the remaining five
per cent when living conditions and
price levels warrant it. The original
fifteen per cent cut would have been
effective only until July first, and I'M
less this or similar legislation were
enacted during this session, govern
ment employees would have had full
restoration of pay after that date.
This phase of the bill was not en-
tirely contrary to the Roosevelt
wishes.
For that matter, some of the Pres
ident's personal friends contend that
the restoration of benefits to vet
Grams likewise is no disappointment
to the President personally, despite
his determined resistance to the bill
which became law, and his strong
veto message. They hold that his
position was forced by the demands
of the banking and financial groups

operation and support even more en-
thusiastic than has been evidenced
In the past. Such a reaction Is sug-
gested even in the events of the past
few days when his tariff bill went
through the House with shopping
majority. 1t is one of the measures
he especially desires, and has been
discussed in this column before.
The bill which was made law over
the veto provides, briefly, the follow
ing:
World war veterans who can show
that their disabilities are directly the
result of their war service will have
their compensation restored to where
it was a year ago. The veterans
whose disabilities have been pre-
sumed under law to be directly con-
nected with their service will have
three quarters of their former COM
pensation restored. Similarly, Span
ish war veterans will receive three
fourths of what they were getting a
year ago. before enactment of the
economy law. 1t does not restore the
disability allowances to veterans not
disabled as the result Of war service.

wise by a 1927 division. The bill
accordingly is law.
But certainly most writer's have
failed properly to interpret this ac-
ton by Congress. They picture it as
cowardly surrender to what they
describe as the voting pressure from
these groups. in disregard of the best
opinions and the convictions of the
lawmakers. While possibly this may
apply in some individual cases, it Is
a most unfair description. Great num-
bers of members of both bodies who
had been coaxed a year ago into vot-
ing for the economy provisions on
the ground that no deserving veteran
would be hurt thereby. Since that
time, they have been literally deluged
with desperate pleas from pitiful
cases of veterans of all types who
have been affected. Demands for ex-
ecutive action to correct the injustices
have resulted in some lesser changes.
but the bulk remained in force.
Then. in this session, came the
growing demand. as traced in this
series of letters, for legislative cor
rection. Regular readers of these

Regular news channels have OF

offices appropriation bill despite the
veto of President Roosevelt, thereby
restoring to the federal employees and
to disabled veterans some of the pen

the result of the economy act passed
a year ago. Administration leaders
had hoped to stem the tide of revolt
in the House. only to find that in
stead of keeping the necessary one

scarcely a sixth. But that was not

which are depended upon for the
necessary cooperation in floating the
large amounts of government secur-
tiles required by the recovery pro-
gram, and that he accordingly had no
other course than to strive to the
end to defeat the more cOmprehen-
sive program of Congress to emascu-
late the much-hated economy bill, at
the time of its passage dubbed the
bill ito maintain the credit of the
United States"
At any rate, the federal government
is now on record as holding out to
all business and industrial groups
under MIRA the example of restoring
wage levels in the combined effort
to restore our national purchasing
power and thereby increase commod-
ity price levels.

writer regrets that few days illness
prevented it's preparation, and adds
this note for the sake of the many
editors throughout the state who show
him the courtesy Of printing it reg

The Senate still has opportunity to defeat the Gov
ernment pay cut proposal as passed by the House.
and should take appropriate action when it con-
sders the independent offices appropriation bill to elm
mate the 10 per cent cut proposed in that bill and to
restore salaries to their basic schedules.
The Senate can and should announce to the country
that it is unwilling to continue the depression for Gov
ernment employees while spending thousands of millions
of dollars to fight the depression generally.
It is doubtful if during the entire session the Senate
will have opportunity to aim stronger blow at defla
tion than it will have when it votes the salary pro-
vision.
So far the actual money involved in the payment of
the full salary schedules is concerned that would be
small matter in contrast to the thousands of millions
which the Government is spending
But the beneficial effect would go far beyond what the
restoration would COST It would extend to every private
employer in the country.
It would set example of enlightened leadership to
the private employers who have been blocking the march
to the recovery by refusing to follow the preaching of
the Government on the matter of increasing salaries

Political Reorganization Is
Gripping Airways Branch
By James T. Williams, yr.

perts at the head Of the vari-
Gus divisions into which the
Aeronautics Branch is divided
were being ''let out" This was
done to pave the way for the
appointment in their place of
the political candidates for di.
rector. There were four or five
of these with the backing Of
powerful Democratic Senators
and campaign workers and con.
tributors.
Conditions within the Aero
nautics Branch toward the end
of the summer were becoming
chaotic. Public protests against
the disruption by partisan poll
tics of this hitherto nonpolit.
ical agency began to appear.
Thereupon another blow was
dealt the Aeronautics Branch in
the form of a so-called "reor.
ganization."
Under Pretense
BY this Reorganization" the
expert divisional heads of the
Aeronautics Branch were started
toward "the great outdoors" It
was only a few months later
that the last one of these divis-
ional heads was let out.
Thus the reorganization" by
amputation from the top, which
began last June with the elimi-
nation of Colonel Young, was
followed during the summer and
autumn by other "reorganiza-
tions" that eliminated next the
divional heads of the Aeronau-
tics Branch. In between these
major surgical operations other
veteran experts were eliminated
during the summer and autumn
under the pretense of Increased
economy and efficiency"
With the return of Congress,
the pressure for patronage in

plains the latest "reorganiza-
ton" by which so many of the
field force of the AirwayS Divi-
sion are condemned to indefi-
mite furlough without pay on
January 20.
How narrowly one division of
the Aeronautics Branch escaped
the political reorganization that
has befallen the other divisions,
shows the power of public senti.
ment when it is informed and
aroused, and the cowardice of
porkbarrel politicians when they
are caught sacrificing the public
interest to the greed of partisan
politics and the lust of special
privilege.

other day. It will tell of the 1888

der the provisions of the economy ac and upon which
the President refused to alter the Is per cent CUT do not
represent the cost of living.
They represent if they be truly said to represent
anything the cost of few isolated items which go to
make up the cost of living
The Government does not have and cannot obtain fig
ures which will honestly show the difference in the cost
of living in the base period in 1928 and the cost of living
at present.
The argument that the Government is trying to make
salaries keep with the cost of living therefore falls
to the ground.
When the Congress originally determined on the Is
per cent cut in Government salaries it did the
urgent plea that this economy necessary to oalance

No such plea is made or can be made for the con-
tinuance of the cut

argument Of the backward employer against raising sal
aries would be wiped out.
He could no longer point to the Governments ncon-
sstency in advocating increased salaries for private bust
ness and refusing them to it's own employees
The Senate will have the first opportunity for full
and free discussion and direct vote upon the salary pro-
visions.
The House was denied this direct voting privilege by
reason of the gag rule which required it's members to
vote upon the appropriation bill without giving them an
opportunity to amend any of the economy provisions Of
the measure.

These are just a few reasons,

mean people. We don't want to
be cruel or disloyal. We honestly
want to live beautifully, bravely,

wrong. Everything's muddled.
And so-we hit and hurt, and
are sorry afterwards.
And now, youngSter, like all

YOU FORGIVE YOURSELF.
You aren't bitter toward your

prompted that meanness. And

you've deliberately determined
to be cruel. You do them for
ST. nge, tangled reasons which
have nothing whatever to do
with the other fellow.
You do mean things because
you're hurt, yourself; because
all your life little hurts have
been piling up inside you. You're
lonely, humiliated-and so at
last you strike out blindly at life,
in revenge.
You do mean things because
you're afraid! Afraid of many
things. Afraid, first of all. that
people will know you're afraid;
that they will discover the weak
ness and loneliness and terror
that crouch behind your pre-
tense of courage and strength.
Afraid, too, of your own failure.
Afraid that people will overlook
you-won't give you your
chance. And so you do mean
things to put yourself on record,
to get attention. to prove to
other people (but most of all to
yourself) that you're powerful.
You do mean things because
you're envious. You don't want
to do mean things. You want to
do fine things, glorious things.
But somehow you can never get
started. And so, like an unhappy
