MACHINE POLITICS

A Ii chickens, sooner or later, come home
L n to roost. Sometimes the manner of their
return is rather painful; but those who own
them have very little kick coming if they don't
like it.
This makes a somewhat clumsy way, per-
haps of saying that nobody need be surprised
at the plight in which the average city govern
ment in the United States finds itself these
days.
The chickens are just getting back up on
their perches. If we had had eyes to see, we
could have had foreknowledge of it long
ago.
The depression seems to have Travelled in
waves. The worst is over, for industry, for
commerce, and for the federal government:
it is just arriving, as far as the cities are
concerned.
And since the ordinary city was governed
so clumsily and so inef11ciently that 1t Just
barely got by in prosperous times, the arrival
Of this delayed second wave means little less
than catastrophe.
Here's sample Casa large manufacture
ing city in the middlewest. The treasury is
BARE tax delinquencies are approaching as
Economical proportions fire and police services
are below the safety level, hospitals and other
health services are being skeletonized, streets
are going unrepaired and poorly lighted, rec
reation facilities are being discontinued, school
teachers are going unpaid, and the morale of
all city workers is being ruined.
Bearing in mind that this is by no means
an exceptional case, in the America of 1894
the question most Of us are interested in is
why and how did all this happen?
The answer is pretty clear; we brought it
all on ourselves, by putting up with the kind
of rotten municipal politics that could not
possibly carry a city government through
storm.
We prepared for this sort of thing, in other
words, years ago, when we blitheIy let our CITY
governments increase their debts beyond rea-
son. let politicians run them for their own
benefit, and made no attempt to insist on hav-
ing efficient and public-sprited men in citv
offices.
Machine politics laid its hand on ourcities.
we sat back innocently and made no protest.
Now we're getting what we might have
foreseen, if we had looked at things rea1isti-
cally. Our chickens are just coming home to

ONLY PART WAY

ME Vinson-Trammen navy bill, authoriz-
ing construction of 1O2 warships and lao
alrplanes for the United States navy during
the next five years, is now law, passed by
congress and signed by the President But it
is worth noticing that the law does not actual
ly commit the country to immediate construc-
ton of these ornaments
AS President Roosevelt pointed out in
signing the bill, what we~have here is simply
formal statement of policy Congress and
the executive have gone on record as favor
ing the building up of the navy to the
strength authorized by the treaties to which
the United States is party
However, the bill appropriates no money
for this work. Not one keel will be laid down
as a result of it. There is vast difference
between ships authorized and ships appro-
priated for Until this bill is supplemented
by an actual appropriation measure, it is a
gesture and nothing more.

TREES AS CROPS

A MENDMENTS to the lumber code ap-
proved by the President and effective
June l mark a turning point in not only the
economy but the psychology of the private
timber industry.
For $50 years American timber barons have
looked upon trees as they would on minerals
rather than crops for growing and harvesting.
Their ruinous cut-and-run policy now is to be
changed to a cut-and-grow method Under
the new amendments, owners of the nations
100000 acres of private timber lands will
be required to adhere to general standards of
logging practice, to cut only trees of a certain
size, to dispose of slash and enforce strict fire.
protection rules.
Timber lands are to be handled on the
same broad basis as farm lands" says the
United States forest service in announcing the
change, with growing timber constituting a
succession of crops to be protected, tended and
harvested as a continuing resource"
The government, with its valuable CCC
work and its purchases of 100000 worth of
timber land for national forests, is making the
Roosevelt promise Of conservation a reality

Yes, there was an unemployment problem,

The unemployment problem, like the poor, is
always with us; We might remember it in con-
nection with the unemployment insurance bill
now pending in congress.

LET'S REBUILD

TIEARTENING is the news that the ma
Il l. tional emergency council experts are
framing measures to thaw private credit for
long-delayed home building and renovation
on a nationwide scale.
The plan calls for a federal mortgage in
surance fund in which private loaning con-
Germs could insure the mortgages they hold
Borrowers would repay the loans, not under
the old usurious and chaotic terms, but on the
basis of a single long-term mortgage, drawing
about per cent interest and amortized over a
long period Reduction of interest rates and
amortization provisions would in effect reduce
the present principal debt.
Such plan would supplement the aid now
offered defaulting mortgagors by the Home
Owners Loan Corporation, the Federal Hous-
ing Corporations slum abatement project, the
subsistence homestead plan and other govern
ment aids to home owners. A well-rounded
rehousing program led by the government
would release billions of private credit, help
the strained heavy industries, re-employ mil
lions of jobless, rehouse a big proportion of
American families.
Times are over-ripe for socially sound
building. The country is at least tVe years
behind. Normally we build 100000 homes a
year; last year we built only $4,000. Private
construction dropped from $5,5OO,OOO0OO in
1928 to $3.50, OOOO 900 last year. A NFA survey
estimates housing shortage of 100000 dwell
ings, exclusive, of course, of those needed to

to slum and other substandard homes"

and private industry.

I am a reader of The Times, and

Henry Comingores' letter in the

In 1917 the young man was called
to the colorS to fight the war to end
wars, although I see they still want
to prepare for another one. I don't
like to see Gods name mixed in the
pieces that are being written, unless
they really want justice for all dis
abled veterans.
OF course every one knows that
the Legion's four point program that
was put before congress was a fine
thing for the ones already service

could read what Representative
Woedman of Michigan had in his
article about the legion.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
JOBS FOR YOUTH

GONE way must be found to furnish jobs
~ for some 100000 young men and women
in the United States, if they are not to drift
into chronic malcontent which would make
them bad citizens.
This is the warning issued by the New
York committee on mental hygiene, which
finds in extended joblessness a grave menace
to the mental balance of young people.
Young people who want to work and can
not, the committee asserts, tend to discover
in themselves "a growing sense of guilt, dis
couragement, and even chronic malcontent-
ment;" and once this feeling has taken root,
it is very difficult for them to adjust them
selves to the society in which they live.
Stating problem, of course, is vastly
easier than finding remedy. That the de-
preston has put a great strain on young
people is undeniable. Finding jobs for all of
them, however, is thing that can't be done
overnight.
Nevertheless, the warning of this commit
tee is thing well worth keeping in mind.

Legion all would be 0. k. for disabled
veterans.
How about the soldier who was
gaSSed or wounded in action. He got
S12 and $18 month. Hundreds Of
them can't prove service connection.
1 suppose they are the able bodied
men referred to.
The ones who never saw any
service can get service connection,
but the ones who went overseas
can't get service connection. The
steps the legion is taking are re-
sponSible. The legion should have
said that if we don't ask for the
bonus, the American soldier, widows
and orphans will be jeopardized.
1t would put hundreds of dollars
in the small mans hands and if
this depression ever is ended it will
be when the little fellow gets JUS
tice, so he can buy the necessities
Of life.
You Legion men use the Legion
for your own gains. The war made
few rich men worth millions, so
why not let the rich hogs take some
of their blood money and pay the
bonus.
Now wouldn't it have sounded
better if you had of said we sold
ourselves to Hoover for beer? Pre-
paredness is all right if it is used
in a sensible way.

UNEMPLOYMENT

DURING the last few years we have got
~ into the habit of looking back on those
dim pre-depression days as on a halcyon,
never-never time in which the grass was al
ways green, the sun always shone. and every
story had happy ending
No depression then, no breadlines, no bank
faiures-at least not very many; it was a
fine time, and we would all like to get back
to it and go about shifting the aroma of
chicken in every pot.
Once in a while. though. some one rises
to remind us that those days weren't quite as
paradisical as memory perSuades us they were.
We had an unemployment problem even then,
We had families that didn't know just where
the next meal was coming from, We had dis
couragement and doubt and want: and these
. things we're made worse by the fact that most
OF US pretended they didn't even exist.
Miss Helen Hail. famous leader Of the
5 Henry street settlement in New York, made
some pointed remarks about this sort of thing
the other day. before house of representa-
tives subcommittee, in the hearings on the
Wagner-Lewis unemployment insurance bill.
Away back in 1928, she pointed out, the
settlement houses noticed the pressure of I'M
employment on their people. Men lost their
jobs through no fault Of their own-and, says
Miss Hall, the jobless man faced "the SNUG

live through today? Children are
left fatherlesS and motherleSs by
the hundreds of thousands by the
decree of the divorce courts; left to
the unfriendly mercies of an en-
vironment saturated with lust, pride,
and salacious indecent literature, an
environment bereft of any real
sterling Christian influence.
The so-called Christians of today
are so enslaved to the modern vices
you can not detect them from the
sinners. The multitudes of today
are sadly in need of the inspired,
Cody, humble preachers who min
iStered to our forefathers.
These ministers didn't drive auto
mobiles, wear $50 suits, and brag
about a $4,000 budget for their
church that year.
Those ministers were clad in home
spun clothes, came on horseback,
afoot, in farm wagons or anyway to
get there with a message from God
that sent mothers and fathers down
on their knees praying nightly to
God to direct their homes and save
their children.
If our forefathers and mothers
who lived such noble lives were
living today with modernistic
preachers to guide and instruct
them, they wouldn't be any better
than we are.
Let us not deceive ourselves, God
does not modernize.
