Work and Direct Relief
May Be Limited.

By the Associated Press.
House leaders today decided to post
pone until Monday consideration Of
the s950,OOO. 900 c. w. A.-relief appro-
priation.
No reason was given Immediately
but it was understood the measure
would be taken up Monday under pro-
cedure forbidding amendments.
Had the resolution been brought to
the floor today. it would have been
subject to amendments, and a number
of members had indicated they want
ed to increase the total appropriation

the c. w. A.
Under present plans, however, the
measure may be brought in Monday

Resolution Recommended.
The resolution authorizing the ap-
propriation, however, earlier was ap-
proved by the Appropriations Com
mittee.
Meanwhile, it was made known that
President Roosevelt wants the re-
covery emergency funds Of sl,166,-
100000 for this fiscal year and ST.
900 900 900 for the next-eXpected by
him to be granted by Congress-to be
elastic enough to permit him to meet
conditions as they arise.
Under this program, the President
would have authority to use the funds
for civil works beyond the May
dead line if conditions necessitated
However. it was emphasized at the
White House that the President wants
to keep within the budget limits al
ready outlined.
He would have Congress not specify
the allocations of the recovery items,

he believes necessary.
Congress Has Request.
A request for s95000O,OOO of the
81. 166,000,0O0 required for the rest Of
this year already has been sent to
Congress by the President.
In its report to the House the Ap-
propria tions Committee recommended
immediate appropriation of S450,000,-
900 to carry on the civil works pro-
gram and its 1000, 900 employees, and
$500 10000 for direct relief
A $50,000000 fund to keep open the
Nations schools was requested today
by Representative Ross Collins, Demo-
crat, of Mississippi, member of the
House Appropriations Committee.
The money would come out of the
$3.50, 100000 which President Roose-
welt has asked Congress to set up
for c. w. A. emergency relief pur-
poses.
simultaneously. the committee re-
leased an account by Harry L. Hop

5O,OO0' at Pretty Boy Floyd's funeral were only the latest example. The morbid and hysterical throngs who swarmed about Rudolph Valentines funeral train and the women who snatched flowers from Tex Guinan's grave were bad enough, but their behavior has been eclipsed by worse on other occasions.
 When John Dillinger was shot by offi- cers of the law in Chicago, men and women passing by suddenly went insane as they learned what had happened Many of them, it was reported, tried to stain thelr shoes or their handkerchiefs with blood from the sidewalk.
 Similar ghoulishness was shown by sup posedly civilized men and women last September when flyer crashed during T race Spectators rushed in and snatched grewsome souvenirs from the wreckage. True civilization should be more than an easily spoiled veneer laid over savagery. It ought to mean that the baser savage in- stincts and actions have been outgrown or brought under rational control.

Two Spectacular Campaigns

California has had the political lime light lately because of Upton Sinclalrs remarkable EPIC campaign and the struggle it has precipitated. But for sheer radicalism Minnesota is close rival. indeed, the platform on which Governor Floyd B. Olson is supposed to be running, if taken literally, is more Socialistic than Sinclair's.
 "Palliative measures will continue to fail," says the platform adopted by the Farmer-Labor state convention last spring" Only complete reorganization Df the present social structure into CO., operative commonwealth will bring eco- homie security and prevent prolonged neriod of suffering among the people,
 sWe. therefore, declare that capitalism has failed and that immediate steps must be taken by the people to abolish capital ism in a peaceful and lawful manner, and That a new, sane and just society must be established; a system in which all the natural resources, machinery of produc- lion. transportation end communication shall be owned by the government and operated democratically for the benefit of all the people and not for the benefit of the few.'
 Governor Olson and other party leaders iaf;er issued an interpretation" of their u]atform which toned it down consider INV. But Olson makes no bones of his neral attitude. He is radical" he has s.id not mere ''liberal". It is g three <3rnered contest between Olson as *Srnaer-La Labor candidate, Martin Nelson sS raolblican candidate and John B. Re
 zn dascribed as an Al Smith Democrat.

What Happens Then?

The doleful cry of republican cam- .paigners in this state is one punctuated by Frequent pious aspirations about the wei fare of the state and the nation. All will be changed if the present order is discon- tinued by mandate from the electorate on November 6. These speakers are still so saturated with the just-a-bit selfish principles of the party that was theirs in the last decade they fail to provide for the future. We are not trusting enough to believe that it will be solved by an lmme- gliate return of republican office-holders
 And we don't think that the voters ot Connecticut are convinced ln that dlrec- tion either. We have had more than our fair share of domination and political arrogance right in this state We don't want to return to it and we must assume that this is what we would do if we en- braced the theories advanced by MT AL corn and his cohorts. They have not yet convinced this writer of a complete sever eLce from the Roraback machine. The Hartford Courant yesterday touched on this topic with pretty exposition on the independent mindedness of the guberna- torial candidate of the republican party.
 We've heard that same thing said be- fore. We might point out some examples in Connecticut of what did happen to ln- dependent minded officials. Waterbury can offer one in the person of former gov- ernor, Charles A. Templeton, who dared express his own opinions on certain poll cies and attempt to carry them out. He lost legislative support and political stand ing. Former governor, John H. Trum- bull, and Senator Frederick c. Walcott, both displayed the same spirit for time. They even prepared to bond the state in an effort to catch up on institutional ex. pansion. They did not stick to their guns when reprimanded and consequently re- naained in the fold.
 . The state, you must remember, did not gain through such tactics as these on the part of duly-elected officials. And it won't if Mir Alcorn should be so fortunate as to be elected next Tuesday and go into office with the intention of doing just as he pleases. Mayor Frank Hayes in very fine radio address Wednesday night touched on this very same thought. We agree with him that should the republican nominee be elected, he would find very soon that he was not the great independ- ent that he now claims to be. And this being the case may we presume to ques- tion the wisdom of making any changes that would remove democratic officials, opposed to Rorabackism and all its special interests, from their present officers. May we hope the few independent office holders we now boast, all democrats, will be increased by election of the entire ticket and good majorities in the Legisla- fure, if this last is possible.

, to a monopolistic monotonous one, Everywhere there Is the sameness
 of red, green and blue front stores. These stores have but little commu- nity interest. They bank their
 money in the large financial cen- ters using the local banks as con- venience. Their advertising Is syn. dicated. Church, charitable and community affairs are met with q printed sign to write the home of- flee. The store managers restrict
 ed and guided by company rules merely function as cogs in a wheel. They are billed with merchandise at the retail price and are held responsible for all shrinkages and
 shortages. The writer has been in-
 formed that the only way a mana ger can get by without loss to him self is to cheat his customers, The writer has heard many people say
 this same thing so if 1t isn't the truth it beho0ves certain chain systems to correct this growing be- lief with the public. In the middle west the writer learned that in
 one town the chain stores were
 selling eigarets without paying a
 license. indicating a fix was made somewhere.
 The advantages of so-called sav-
 tngs to. the consumer are offset by
 concentrated buying power of the chains which reflect in lower wages to the same consumers and others. Big chains are in a position to dictate to suppliers whose mar keting outlets grow each year.
 An owner of a fleet of motOr trucks had contract to haul
 sugar for g chain system. He had
 painted and lettered his trucks
 with the chains advertising at his
 own expense which was stipuiateil
 in the contract. After he started to
 do their hauling he found himself
 up against so many tricks not in
 the contract that he found he
 would take q lesser loss (cost of
 painting and iettering) than if he continued to submit to the ex-
 tra trips that were being pushed on him at no compensation.
 All of these things would tend
 to prove that chain stores are more of 8 menace than a benefit to 8 community. J. B. l..
