MONEYMAKERS .

M~ONEYMAKERS ... a type
I have a friend who occupies a
high position in the Federal Gov
eminent and has a background Of
wide business experience. Dining
with him in Washington a few eve
nings ago, he dropped this new
Idea:
IF l were President of the
United States, trying to bring the
nation out of an economic crisis
he said, II would have the Treasury
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1934-09-14

Department examine all the in
come tax returns and discover who
are the best money-makers in the
country. Then l would put those
men in the key positions, instead
of filling the high posts with men
who never made a dollar in their
lives. They would be able to point
the way out of the depression with
plans that would work."
l pointed out that that wouldn't
be good politics. Any President
that did that would be accused Of
selling out to Wall Street, My
friend agreed that was a practical
difficulty in the way of his idea, but
I think it's a pretty sound thought:
at that.

inc Conservatives, and without ex-
ception they are entirely sympathe-
tic to the ultimate ideals of even
some who are classed as extreme
radicals.
One has to be careful, these days,
in discussing anything of a political
nature, to make sure that both par
ties to the discussion mean the same
thing with the same words.
CLASSES ..... not here
One of the reasons why the
United States has become the most
powerful and the most prosperou,
nation in the world is the utter
absence of any "class". system
among its people. On the one hanc
we have no peasantry tied to the
sail; on the other we have no here
ditary aristocracy. Every Ameri-
can is and always has been free tt
move from the social group or en-
vironment in which he was borr
and reared, into any other group
according to his own ambition ane
ability.
I do not believe this system car
be improved upon. I am concerned
therefore, with every movement
which would tend to separate
Americans into distinct "classes'
in which they are condemned t.
remain. I don't believe it can b.
done. We have not yet exhausted
opportunity for individual indepen.
dence.

ANNUITIES

ANN LEO =. . grow IN V
l have a friend, a young doctor,
who isn't worrying about his
future. AS fast as he can get hold
of 500 that he doesn't need to
use, he tells me, he buys an annuity
contract from one of the big life
insurance companies, which will
begin when he is sixty to pay him
a pension for the rset of his life,
and if he should die sooner, all he
has paid in will be returned to his
heirs.
ANY man who tries to pick his
own investments or to make money
by specializing in stocks is a plain
sucker" he remarked. "Nobody can
make money in that way unless he
gives his whole time to it, and a
busy professional man hasn't the
time or the ability to study invest
ments. If the big life insurance
companies can't do better with my
money than l can, then their man.
agement is incompetent, and I don't
believe it is. And if they smash, the
whole country will smash and I'll
be no worse off in one case than In
the other"
Insurance men tell me that q
rapidly growing number of business
and professional men are buying
present or deferred annuities, either
for lump sums or on lnstalmen'
payments.

TODAY AND

BY
FRANK PARKER SToCKBRIDGE

DEFINITIONS take Liberal"
I hear a great many people using
old words with new meaning. This
results in confused thinking and
misunderstanding, especially when
folk are talking about political
matters.
The word Liberal" is one which
1 hear often loosely used as if it
meant the same thing as Radical.
A Liberal scheme of government is
one in which the rights of every
minority group, however small, are
recognized and protected. 1t is, ]
believe, the ideal of every intelli-
gent thinker on political matters.
And it is not necessary to have a
democracy to have a Liberal gov
eminent; in a broad sense the
British government is Liberal, ano
so are other European monarchies
But the government of Germany:
Russia and Italy today are anything
but Liberal; and | seem to see sign,
that the Government of the Unitee
States is slipping away from its ole
Liberal attitude.

|RADICALISM its meaning
Radical" is another good word
that has had its meaning corrupted.
1t means, literally, getting down to
the roots of things. Now it is gen.
orally understood to mean a man or
a group that seeks to uproot every
thing that exists and turn the
world topsy-turvy.
The word "Conservative" is also
being carelessly used, as if it meant
one who was opened to any change
whatever in the existing scheme of
things. l know a good many genu-

THIS WEEK IN
WASHINGTON
CONTINUED from page one)

Republican speakers in the cur
rent Congressional campaign are be-
ginning to make use of the Douglas
resignation and the Morgenthau
Figures; with what effect remains to
be seen. Beyond doubt, in the o
conservative parts of the nation, a
reaction against the Administration
is setting in, but that this will re-
suit in the return of a Republican
majority to the new Congress is not
expected by even the most ardent
devotee of the COP. And any
Republican gains are likely to be
offset by the election of some radi-
cal members from the Central West
and parts of the South, who will
demand that the Federal Govern
ment go even farther to the left
than it has gone. Moreover, a good
deal of the disafection is in the
South, where it is regarded as prac-
%tically hopeless o get any consider
able number of people to accept the
name Republican" on any party
banner which they will follow.
The name of Constitution
Party" has been adopted and
thrown into the picture by at least
one former Demoract. He is Col.
Henry Breckenridge, who was as
sistant Secretary of War in Presi-
dent Wilson's administration and
has lately figured in the limelighr
las attorney for Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh. H has declared for
United States Senator from New
York under the "Constitution
Party banner. AS fan anti-New
dealer he may give Senator Cope
land a lively contest, unless the
Republicans nominate a stronger
candidate han any now in sight.
At the other extreme of that
political picture is the nomination
on the Democratic ticket for Gov
ernor of California, of Upton Sin
clair, author of many extremely
radical books'and an avowed Social
ist though his Socialism is more a
mixture of Henry George and Ed
ward Bellamy than the pure Karl
Marx brand. His slogan, EPIC,
which stands for END Poverty in
California" is calculated to catch
the Radical voters, but it is no Sc
cret in Washington that the situa-
ton created thereby has the Admin
%istration worried. For that matter,
as one able observer remarked the
other day, there are no secrets in
Washington. ~*'
The dilemma is whether to rec
Iognlze Sinclair as a Democrat, and
thereby put the seal Of Administra-
ton approval on a program which
out-deals the New Deal; or to dis
claim him, and thereby ALLEVIATE the
radical element upon whose votes
the Administration is counting
heavily. The general opinion here
is that the conservative Democrats
of California will throw their
strength to the Republican candr-
dates for Governor and Congress,
which may upset somewhat the
hopes of further Democratic gains
from the Pacific Coast.
A more immediate worry is +he
general labor situation, with strikes
increasing in number and serious
ness and the Administration trying
to figure out whether it wauld be
better politics to put all strikers on
the relief rolls or to tighten up on
