Seeking Panaceas.

We are queer lot, we American. We
expect whichever party happens to be
in charge of the government to SO
manipulate the handling of public af-
fairs as to afford us a cure for the
results Of our own folly. We seem to
assume that it is possible for us to get
well economically by the waving of
some magic wand We think we can
force prosperity, and to the majority
of the people of the country prosperity
means return to the hectic days pre-
ceding the stock market crash of 1929
This theory disregards the fact that
those hectic days were created by a
false and inflated philosophy. In the
creating of this initiation we disregard
all natural laws of economics, so it is
but natural for lis to expect to cure the
trouble by the same process. But 1t
cannot be done.
The only way back to solid ground
and to degree of prosperity and we'll
being commensurate with common
sense and economic soundness will be
by the application of thrift and hard
work and the balancing of the budget
Of every Individual. The old haywire
days are gone forever. But large per-
centage of our population still believe
in Santa Claus and in good fairies. The
cause of the present economic condition
Of the country in large measure can be
ascertained by every citizen by looking
in the mirror. Each one of us contrib
uted his share. There is nothing new
about all Of this. 1t has been the history
Of things in the world since the earlies

Trying to Place the Blame.

1EfHlR 10 4 ldlc the DfdIflt
The bottom went out of things Or
it might be more appropriate to say
that the top was blown off Then the
people of the United States commenced
to take stock Seeking someone to
blame, they listened to the fulmina-
tons of the politicians who represented
the outs and who told that the way
to cure their ills was to convert the
"outs" into the ms and the "ins' into
the "outs" This they did with their
usual disregard of essentials and funda-
mentals. 1t became pleasing fiction to
attribute our plight to the tariff, and
later to our money standard. The people
were told that all that was necessary
was to reduce the tariff which protects
American manufacture and agriculture,
and all would be Jake Now they are
being told that the way to put money
into the hands of those who are penni-
less, and make it possible for the debtor
to pay his obligations and start things
moving on a normal basis is to cheaper
our money A lot of other experimental
schemes are being worked out by an
administration of which the people de-
mand action. We are spending huge
sums of money, borrowed for the pur-
pose, in an endeavor to squander our
selves back to prosperity. In the face
of the fact that debt is one of the basic
causes of our troubles, w are following
the theory that mourning more debt
will cure us. And in the face of the
fact that excessive taxation Is another
of the causes of our trouble we are
laying the groundwork for more of the
same, under the delusion that the ap-
plication of all of these methods will
relieve us of the trouble which we
brought on ourselves, aided and abetted
by the worldwide economic upheaval.

Where Is Our Money?

It is announced that at 10 o'clock to-
night, Iowa time, William Randolph
Hearst well known publisher, will
broadcast an address on the subject
which appears as the caption of this
article.
The subject is broad one and per-
mits of many qualifications Likewise
the query is live one and has been
for several years with many people
who formerly were in comparative af-
fluence and have found themselves
suddenly in a position where money is
a scarce article. The whereabouts of the
money of the Individual is perhaps be-
side the point in this comment, if we
stick to the text, as doubtless Mr..
Hearst's broadcast will deal with the
whereabouts of the money of the ma
ton as whole, rather than the finan-
cial plight of the individual citizen; but
the subject intrigues one and suggests
a line of thought relative to the part
the Individual has played in rendering
himself particularly susceptible to the
injuries inflicted by the period of eco
nomic stress.
Inflated Land Values.
Where is our money? Here in Iowa,
If competent statistics are to be be-
lieved, during the prosperous
years of the World War period when
money flowed like water into the cof-
fers of the farmer and the business
man and every one else, some 5000, 000,-
600 of good Iowa money went for
stocks, shares in half mythical concerns
which were worth exactly their value
as piece of printed paper. During that
period and shortly thereafter good
many hundreds of millions from the
Middle West went into the first and
second mortgage bonds of apartment
hotels and the like, security issued on
appraisals inflated to the nth degree
The most of these bonds are now worth
just what the stocks we refer to are
worth-the value of the paper and the
printing contained therein There is nc
way of estimating how many hundreds
Of millions Of money the country over
went up in smoke and vanished If
thin air when it suddenly dawned or
lis that even the most productive lane
in a section like ours is not worth S30t
or S40O an acre. II took only the simpl.

RICE STATES
JOB REQUIRES
AN ENGINEER

A REGISTERED CIVIL ENGI-
NEER has numerous advantages
over one who has qualified only as
licensed land surveyor. The IL
censed land surveyor, though quail
flied for the office of county sur
veyor, is LIMITED to the practice
of land surveying. The REGISTER
ED ENGINEER not only has ALL
the qualifications and privileges
granted the licensed land surveyor,
but in addition may practice civil
engineering in all its branches;
such as the design and construc-
ton of highways. drainage, water
supply, flood control, sewerage.
foundations. buildings. bridges and
the like which the licensed land
surveyor is PROHIBITED by law
from doing.
The law is a good law and is
based upon the assumption that
the design of structures and sys-
TENS. upon which the public health,
welfare or life depends, shall be
designed and constructed ONLY by
men of proper training and ability.
The relation between the licensed
land surveyor and the Registered
Civil Engineer is very similar to
that between the professions of
nurse and doctor. The nurse cam
not legally perform all of the dut-
les and functions of the doctor but
the doctor can perform all of the
duties and functions of the nurse.
Is it not apparent that one who
has proven his training, ability
and capacity by legally qualifying
as Civil Engineer more competent
to render much greater and use
full service To the county than one
who is qualified by law to perform
ONLY the lesser of. these func-
tionS.
Is it not better policy to put into
the office the man the OFFICE
NEEDS; one from whom you may
be justified in expecting and de
manding full and competent SER
vice for the county?

CHOSEN BY CONSCIENTIOUS MEMBERS OF
ALL PARTIES, Governor Frank f. Merriam stands
for the principles which are an inherent part of
America and what it stands for . opportunity and
liberty for ALL!
No tool of a foreign government that is distaste-
full to all Real Americans who are eager to 'get
ahead" and make mark i'm the world, as their fore
fathers did, Merriam stands for what is Best for the
people of this State: the Fundamental Principle of
equality and freedom of all to the pursuit of happi-
ness and well-being. No tenet of any government
or country on the face of the earth farer,
or ever will be fairer than that guarantee to the
American people, which was written into our Dec
laration of Independence.
