Billion DOllars-MilliOn Jobs.
(Borea, Ohio, Enterprise0


 It is estimated that there is in this country s1 0Oo 100000 of idle capital which would normally be used in the mortgage market for residential building.
 If, as is hoped, present efforts loosen these funds and bring building back normal, close to a million will find good jobs. They will have regular incomes, after years in which most Of them have been finding the going extremely hard. They will have money to spend for necessities and luxuries-and that money will go through thousand and industries, buying materials and supplies and services, paying taxes and interest creating jobs and building up payrolls for all types of workers
 That is what construction revival will do for the country generally. In it's individual application, so far as the property owner is concerned, it will likewise do this-boom building costs. They have been rising slowly but steadily since the low reached last Summer They still far below normal. As matter of fact, costs of most materials used in building have Jagged behind the general commodity price advance. That means that the millions of citizens who have money with which to build and repair now, before this beated boom starts, can still get a whole lot more than dollars worth for every dollar spent And that condition isn't going to last much longer unless all present signs point the wrong way.
 Build now, repair now, renovize now That motto will aid you in doing your bit toward achieving recovery, and will put money in your pocket.

ordinary arrest, so that their political enemies cannot have them jailed for speeding or douoie parking when they ought to be legiSating. But lit is the sense of the Supreme Court that the Senator's legislative activities would not be inter fered with by a civil suit. F-HAE
 It seems perfectly possible that not only Senator Longs legislative affairs but also his political career in general might be cramped considerably by a iudgment against him in the amount of $500,000. But that is outside the ambit of the Courts authority It is a shame that this bit of litiga- tion should ruffle the feathersor the scales; and he is a bit scaly-of the Kingfish but after all man who has such talent Tor oratory that he can make half million dollar remark ought to be more careful of his dction.

 By the most important, but certainly the most spectacular of the rulings handed down by the United States Supreme Court this week is that which requires Senator Huey P. Long to stand trial in $5O00O0 libel suit The dictator of Louis- ana made some very harsh comments the character and record of Samuel T. Ansell counsel for a Senate committee to which Long was giving testimony. The Kingfish had computations about speaking his mind very frankly. trusting implicitly in his immunity from arrest, as provided in the Constitution.
 But immunity from arrest is thing it seems, and immunity from civil process is another The Constitution protects the members of Congress from

MT. Hoover and MT. Wells.
(New York Times.)

(New York Times)
 Lawrence Rtchey, coming to the defense of ms former che Herbert Hoover scores heavily against HI G. Wells but not without making people wonder anew about MT Hoover. In his Autobiography the English writer says that on visit in 1881 he found President Hoover a dazed and helpless man caught in a swirl of White House untidiness MT Rchey replies that MT. Wells never saw the inside of the White House for the very good reason that President Hoover refused to receive him there as a guest. The two met for the space of two minutes in the Executive offices.
 What other President in the last fifty years would have treated so cavalerly parsonage of such prominence as MT. Wells, the wielder of so fluent and forceful pen? The distinguished Eng Iishman would have been received with honors He would have been given the same opportunity to suggest modifications in the United States Con- stitution that Stalin recently gave him to bring forward a drastic revision of Karl Marx. But it is not the only instance of President Hoover genius for encouraging hostile publicity.

PACIFIC AMERICAN FISHERIES
UNDERGO REORGANIZATION

Reorganization of the Pacific
American Fisheries takes into full
membership two former subsidiaries,
the Alaska Portland Packers and
the Alitak Fisheries, according to
reports received here.
The new organization, known as
the Pacific American Fisheries, In
corporated, is reported taking under
lease plants of the Northwestern
Fisheries company, a Booth Fisher
les subsidiary, and is preparing to
operate at least some of the plants,
including the one at Ketchikan, the
forthcoming season.
1t is understood that the arrange
ments are such that the holding
lease may merge into permanent
possession. The Northwestern owns
two canneries in Washington and
fourteen in Alaska, most of which
were active through the season of
1892.

MERhILY WE ROLL ALONG

Shortly after the Armistice Ger
man named Spengler gazed about
him with slightly Jaundiced eyes,
decided that the world was going
haywire, anu sat down to write a
book ABOUT it. He called the book
Inc DecIne OF the West. Ii the

IN Vienna, the Blue Danube city,

In Nazi Germany the pastors OF

Thor and Wodin, ancient Teutonic
gods, are to replace the Semitic pa

SpengIer attributes the decline OF
western civilization to the growth
of Democratic governments, declar-
ing the masses are not fit to govern
themselves.
There is no doubt that Democracy
faces a crisis, but it is unthinkable
that the human race, after centuries
of struggle and sacrifice to achieve
constitutional safeguards, will ever
submit to gang-rule such as that
which is sweeping over Europe like
a plague.
The administration of government
under a Democracy is often imper-
feet and unsatisfactory, but it is the
best system yet conceived by man.
Its success. however, depends upon
the intelligence of the electorate.
One of the strongest bulwarks of
Democracy is the public school, and
one cannot help but view with con-
Germ the report that SIS per cent of
the primary and secondary schools
in the state of Alabama have been
closed and in other states the school
year reduced to as little as three
months.

ONE-HOUSE LEGISLATURE

Nebraska progresslves continue to
seek a one-house or. unicameral leg
islature. a constitutional amend
ment will be presented to the people
soon to abolish the two-house legis-
lature, and Senator George Norris is
leading the campaign. Most of the
states have had plenty of sad ex-
periences arising from the dead
locks of two legislative bodies. They
should follow Nebraska's example
and work for a single, smaller, bet
ter assembly.

ENORMOUS TAX INCREASE

Just how enormously the tax bill
of the nation has increased in the
past two decades is graphically il
lustrated by a comparison of re-
ceipts and government costs fer
1918, the year preceding the open
ing of the European war, and the
same figures for 1888, just ended.
Taxes in 1913 were approximate
Iy 2.2 billions. In 1928 they had
jumped to IL billions. In 1888, the
estimate calls fCF 10.5 billions. The
increase between 1913 and 1928 is
accounted for by the war plus local
extravaganza. The increase since
1928 is accounted for only by the
cost of government. Certainly a re-
duction in the total cost of govern
ment would appear possible.
Government expenses for 1888, it
is estimated, will be 14.5 billions.
The same people pay the bill now
as in 1913, that is, all the people.
But, the cost per family for govern
mental costs in 1913 was S121; to-
day it is $4S5. In other words, the
present cost of government, of all
kinds, is $1.10 per day per family.
We submit that these figures should
furnish food for thought, and should
be well digested.-Ex.
