have asked permission to carry

"This is the first camp in which
the prisoners have voluntarily
taken the initiative to organize

THE CIVILIZED WAY

s.. In savage tribes where skulls are thick. and primal passions rage, they have a system, sure and quick, to cure the blight of age.
 For when a natives youth has fled and years have taken h.s pep and vim, the. savage Traps him on the head and puts an end to him.
 But we, in this enlightened age, are built of sterner stuff. and so look with righteous rage on deeds so harsh and rough.
 For when a man grows old and gray, We simply take his job away and let h.ms starve to death.

Deal we have accepted the obliga- tion to seez that the farmer receiv- es his just compensation for his efforts. Over a million young men out Of school and without the steadyiHg influence of work have been sent into the national forests and public domain to do a constructive job. We have been amazed. by the appalling wave of crime that :. has swept over the land during the past few years. Statist cs prove that the average age of these offenders against society is twenty years. By taking them of the streets, out of the pool rooms and speek- easies, into a different environ ment, they are learning the lesson of life: to go back into civil life as substantial and industrious citizens who will ass st materially Tn maintaining organized society.
 These are but few of the glar- Ing evils of our current economic structure that are in process of correction. will-.have more to say about this in future articles.
 Tn conclusion permit me to state that in the future 1t Is ex- tremely important that big busi- ness should never again be per- mitted to take as large percent age of national income for profits as they have in the past; for if the New Deal means anything, t means .subordination of capital and property rights to human rights.

CATTLE BUYING
BY j. 5. UPHELD

Government purchase of cattle
from the drought-stricken areas
was upheld today by Comptroller
General j, R. McCarl, in answer
to a query submitted by Secretary
Of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace,
The Comptroller General based
his decision on the fact that the
emergency appropriation act fol-
the fiscal year ending June 80
1885, is supplementary to the
agricultural appropriation act
which authorizes relief for farmers.
This authorization also includes,
it was pointed out, the purchase
Of agricultural products.
In his decision, the Comptroller
also quoted President Roosevelt's
message to Congress in which he
urged passage of the legislation.
The President said at that time:
"ThiS authorization should be
flexible so that the funds can
be allotted to the several Fed
eraI agencies as requested"
