A NEW RELIEF PLAN

A YEAR ago emergency action for unem-
n ployment relief was urgently needed. To-
day the problem has become long-tin one
requiring careful study and planning in con-
nection with Americas Immediate economic
future
And now the Roosevelt administration
promises to meet the second challenge as it
met the first
1t recognizes that the civil works aominis-
tration, heroic as was its working during this
winter, is not a permanent solution Of the
bitter problem of families facing a blank
economic future. It recognizes that a long
continued handout or dole is impossible 1t
recognizes that unemployment insurance,
having been delayed too long can not con-
tribute materially TO the problem for many
years.
So the President proposes three different
methods of relief, sill of them fitting into his
long-range plans for making this better
country.
In rural areas, he proposes first of all, to
provide the kind of relief that will make it
possible for needy families to raise enough
cash with which TO supply other needs.
He would move families in single-industry
communities, where there is no future hope
of work to subsistence homestead projects
where they. too, may raise enough food for
their needs and where they may do part
time work in small factories to earr some
CASH Finally, for city workers the President
recognizes the need of works projects which
would not be undertaken normally by public
bodies and which are at the same time out
side the field of private enterprise.
Planned relief Of this sort is far more in
telligent and just than veterans bonus or
special benefits to any one group, for in
stance. Worked out along the lines the
President suggests it should not only eliminate
payments of public money to those who are
not actually in need but should contribute
materially to future well-balanced economy.
But it is a big loo and if it is done properly
it will cost great deal Of money. Mr.. Roose-
welt at present indicates he hopes to confine
his program within the three billion dollar
budgetary estimate already made for relief
needs in this and the coming fiscal year In
this he is probably over-optimistic

ample to others" That act Of judicial tyranny
so stirred the workers of England led by
Robert owen, that the men Of Dorset" were
pardoned.
Such tyranny could not, of course, occur
in enlightened America today, where unionism
is recognized by law and code and men are
free. No? Read a report just issued by
commission sent by the National Labor
Board into Imperial Valley, California, to
investigate conditions among striking pea
pickers.
"Indiscriminate arrests, arbitrary fixing
Of high bail, prostitution Of the state vagrancy
law, deportations, abuse of police power,
wholesale intimidations and threats of action
by vigilantes we're found to exist" the COM
mission reported.
1t is deplorable that many workers are
not able to earn sufficient to maintain even
a primitive or savage standard of living 1t
is horrible that children are reared in an
environment as pitiable as that which we
saw in more than one locality But worse
than those is the harsh suppression of that
which We found in the United States claim
as our birthright-the freedom to express our
lawful opinions and legally to organize to
better our lot"

DAYS OF CONFINEMENT

DROBABLY it would take a psychologist to
L explain just why this nation suddenly has
grown so fond of looking at photographs taken
a generation ago. =
Part of it, no doubt, is the same halI-mel-
ancholy sort of kick one gets out of a peek
into the old family album The clothes and
customs Of former day always look pleasantly
grotesque. if you get far enough away from
them: there is a unique sort of pleasure in
looking at some gawky, Enthusiastically CARRIED
youth and realizing suddenly, that that is
yourself as you used to look.
But there's a little more to the present
popularity of old-time pictures than that.
These collections of photos that date back to
the 1905 and beyond give us a spy-glass
through which We can peer through door
that time has closed and seen an era which
has gone from this earth forever.
The oldest thing about it all is that most
of us as We look on that era, have sneak
ing. half-conscious wish that We might get
back there.
For that bygone era-that time when gay
blades rode perilous high-wheeled bicycles.

nous than their street frocks now are end

think there can be no denying
that we are fair weather friends.
One has only to recall the wor-
ship which attended President
Hoover into the White House and
the luminosity which followed him
out to realize that couple Of bad
mistakes, whether avertible or not,
on the part of the Roosevelts
would find us turning to rend
them.
Probably no one knows that
better than the President and his
wife. It would be folly for them
to regard public sentiment as any
more stable than the duration OF
their successful handling Of af-
fairs.
But for our own benefit We
should learn to call things by
their right names. And sometimes
those names are not pretty ones.
1t makes you feel a bit sick
to read some of the sentiments
now penned about Charles Lind
bergh. And they probably are
written by the same people who
were loudest, six years ago, in
clubbing him hero and god.
Temperance is a great virtue
and one that sadly needs en-
colragement in our vacillating
and emotional country.

minstrel shows were popular diversion. and
motorists were line-coated pioneers who rode
in frail tuggernauts which we're useful princi-
paly for frightening horses-that era, what
ever its faults may nave been, seemed at least
to be a time Of certainty.
We knew where we were going, then-or
we thought we did, and that was about as
good-and We had no doubt at all that pres
emily we should get there.
Human society seemed to have reached
static phase, and, while its organization had
certain faults that everybody recognized, it
still seemed to be pretty well arranged and
stable affair
schemes were alike unheard Of. There were no
traffic jams, and neither were there any Hit
lers or Mussolinis or Stains.
NRA, RFC, CWA and all the rest were just
letters in the alphabet, and the staggering
emergencies that were to call them into being
still slumbered peacefully in the lap of time.
1t was, in short, a simpler age than this
one, and it contained far less to worry about.
We can't get back to it, and if we really could
we probably should think twice about it.
But at this distance it has a sort Of halcyon
look. 1t is misty with enchartment, because it
was time when the problems which beset us
now still we're below the horizon.

LOWER INTEREST RATES

A PROPOSAL embodied in the McAdoo-
Ford bill to equalize maturity provisions
and interest rates charged to cities for public
works funds by the government seems reason
able beyond all argument
Cities that borrowed from the reconstruct
ton finance corporation under the Hoover re-
ginne are required to pay per cent and per
cent interest on straight loans running for
ten years.
Those more fortunate cities borrowing
under the Roosevelt-created public works adj
ministration get their money for 4 per cent
over an indefinite period In addition these
latter are allowed 30 per cent of the sum adj
vanced in the form Of outright grants
Thus, an RFC borrower pays back 100 per
cent of the money in ten years and at rates of
per cent and per cent A PWA borrower
pays back only 70 per cent of the money at a
fiat interest rate Of four per cent and over
longer period.
The McAdoo-Ford bill would permit ad-
justment of RFC interest rates to per cent
and fix maturity at twenty years. Even then
PWA borrowers would have the advantage of
the 30 per cent grant
The principle of lowering interest rates on
all capital has been urged by President Roose-
welt. In the interests of equity to it's bor-
rowers and to set a good example the federal
government should take the lead

fault finders may suggest that
this important function is re-
served to the party as a whole,
and is not the privilege of any

such presumption and unwar-

1t may be that the rank and

The example of mutual defer

by the two judges, whom the
partys privy council have desig-
mated as the most fit for the high
office of mayor, is edifying. But
it may not produce the effect that
either the shoWmen staging it,

Perhaps the voters don't. want,

THURSDAY. MARCH / 1884.
TWO SENATORS

THE Times is opposed to immediate pay
Il ment Of the soldier bonus. Leaving out
all other considerations the money is not in
the treasury to pay it. On Tuesday the ques-
ton Of the bonus payment was put to vote
in the senate.
Senator Arthur Robinson, Republican,
went on record as favoring it after pyro-
technical display Of vest-busting oratory. So
did Senator Frederick Van Nuys Democrat.
There is nothing extraordinary about this
since both men repeatedly have emphasized
their belief in this measure
But what is interesting is the relative con-
duct Of Indiana's two senators on a resolution
subsequently introduced by Senator William
Borah. He asked that the senate vote to con-
tine the present s8,5OO salaries Of its mem
bers thus effecting savings which could be
applied toward payment of increased veteran
compensation.
Senator Robinson voted against this.
Senator Van Mugs sturdily voted for it. In
other words the junior senator was willing to
deprive himself of a $500 year raise to help
pay for the bonus and other compensation in
Creases for which he had voted.
While We can not at all agree with the
purpose for which Senator Van Mugs was Of
fering this personal sacrifice We are forced to
admire and applaud his rugged honesty and
real sincerity
Senator Robinson, on the other hand, was
unwilling to dig into his own pocket to back
the principles of which he has been such a
vocal advocate.
Talk is mighty cheap. Senator Robinson,
and we believe your colleagues generous ges-
ture Of self-sacrifce has made your particular
brand of official conversation a whole lot
cheaper than a counterfeit penny.

A WEDGE?

A FTER two years of fighting perhaps the
N greatest lobby in Washington, Senator
Hiram johnson is evidently to succeed in put
ting through congress his bill divesting federal
courts of authority to intervene in utility rate
cases on appeal from state commission orders.
That bill hasn't created as much noise as
many others, but it may be pregnant with a
movement of highest Importance. 1t indicates
restoration to the people of q state their own
government of their own affairs. 1t may be
the entering wedge for the breaking down Of
the common use of federal judiciary for de-
lay in the administration of justice. by any
party with purse fat enough to stand unlim-
tied procrastination.
To be sure, even while the Johnson meas
ure enacted. the utilities still can apply to the
state appellate courts and from them to the
United States supreme court. But coinci-
dentally with the Johnston measure rises the
question why not. in similar instances, di-
vest the state courts of authority to inter-
vene?"
The utilities are bound to take their cases
to the appellate and thence to the supreme
court with delay as their main object and
during the delay the utilities continue to take
abnormal profits and the people to do the
suffering The longer the delay the better for
the utilities and the worse for the people.
There isn't a puolic or a private Issue that
is not at the mercy of legal delay. There may
be much in Senator Johnsons plucking Of
some feathers from the federal judiciary.

By o. S.
Now that few of the so-called
Democratic leaders have picked
out the Democratic nominee for
mayor, what need is there for
primary? Why incur all the ex-
pense, turmoil and disturbance
incident to a primary election,
when hand picked nominees, by
expert pickers, can be procured
so easily?
Economy in government is the
great desideratum just now. This
manner of selecting the party
candidates or nominees recon-
mends itself to all considerate
minds not only for its jefferson
ian simplicity, but moreover be-
cause it costs the taxpayer
nothing. And then, in addition,
to all of this, it has this advan-
tage. It relieves the party voters
of the annoyance of going to the
primary and registering their
choice.
