Disappointing
Salary Restoration

The recommendation contained in the Federal Budget for
restoration Of only five per cent Of the salary reductions
suffered by Government workers distinctly disappointing
would be dheartenng well it not for the fact
that there to be determined sentiment in both houses
of Congress for restoration Of the basic salary schedules
Before accepting the recommendation members of Congress-
of all parties will want to know definitely why it is
Bary keep down the salaries Of employees while
The Government is carrying concerted drive to induce
private employers to increase their salary scales.
The message Of President Roosevelt accompanying the
budget is rather vague the Government salary
recommendations and other recommendations having do
with Federal personnel
He advances figures to sustain his contention that reso
ration of five cent is adequate under the circumstances
He reerates the statement often made by Of his
Bocates in the administration that there nothing incon
stent in holding Government salaries down while advocating
the increasing of commercial salaries
But like his associates he declines to explain away the
very apparent inconsistency.
One of the most unfortunate features of the budget
mendaton that providing for continuance Of the cost
p vng basis for Government salaries originally forth
n the act TO preserve the credit of the United Sates
That provision is pernicious in its results that it had
been hoped that President Roosevelt would recommend its
elimination though he not willing at this time to
urge full restoration of the salary schedules.
The cost of living" scheme preupposes that Government
salaries equitable basis 1928 which is the base
period provided in the current law
Government salaries not equitable basis at that
time by figures gathered by the Government itself
n comprehensive survey Of governmental and private
salaries.
The President in his message has made good
endaon in regard to personnel Even in that however he
does not go far enough.
he recommends that the Army Navy and Marine Corps
should be exempted from the ban automatic increases in
compensation in the coming fiscal year.
That should certainly be done.
But why should the be lifted from all Government
employees?
The President points out that the pay freeze in the armed
services has resulted in actual salary reductions amounting
TO about % per cent.
He should know that in the civilian services the pay de-
amounted to much so cent because Of the
operation of this ban and the additional discomfort Of admins
fratiye furloughs. s--4aazz4---==--4-.---.-

Hardshps Test American Spirit-Gen. Atterbury

the faint gleam Of Confederate
candles-ropes dipped in tallow
and wound around bottles. Flour
vent up to $500 a barrel,
bacon to $40 a pound.
When Sherman went raiding
on his march to the sea, de-
stroying, as a ruthless measure
of war, all food supplies, the
women of Columbia, S. c., sent
word: Burn it all up. We will
live on the acornS."
That was the spirit which
carried a great section of Amer
lea through a terrible epoch.
And that spirit is not dead or
even dormant in this country,
as the last few years have
proved. With all of her faults,
there's reason to be proud to-
day of this old U. S. A.
The Great White Father in
the White House must be a bit
surprised and even a little
pleased as he reads the words of
praise and confidence coming
from the lips of one who, up to
now, was popularity numbered
among the Tories. He is no Ad-
mir1istration ballyhoo, no Demo-
cratic officeholder, but a rock
ribbed Republican, a Pennsylva-
mia Republican, and, on top Of
all thai, an outstanding repre-
sentative of big business.
Business Improves
It is tall, brusque William Wal
lace Atterbury, president of the
billion-dollar Pennsylvania Rail
road, who says: "I am an en-
thusiastic believer in the patriot
ism, the courage and the re-
sourcefulness of Franklin D.
Roosevelt. I do not believe it is
a time for gloom. And this SEN
timent on my part is not whis-
tling to keep up my courage.
Business is improving. More
men are being employed. Goods
are moving into consumption.
The purchasing power of the
farmer is already vastly i'm
proved"
Since coming of age in 1887,
after being graduated from
Yale, General Atterbury has
been a Republican Stalwart, al.
ways playing on the other side
Of the fence from the ultra-lib-
erals of the Roosevelt school.
Only this year, when the Presi-
dents railroad czar, Joseph B.
Eastman, ruled that no loans
would be made to the railroads
unless executive salaries were
reduced, noral Atterbury
Topped SAG, 900 from his own SAL
ary, cutting it from $109, 900 to
100000. And now he strikes a
chord Of nonpartisanship which
must win popular and general
applause.

Signs multiply that the coun"
try is squaring it's shoulders, get
ting it's chin up again, ready to
stride forth on a new era Of
prosperity. Hard times are ref
initely receding. They leave
plenty of wreckage and debris,
like a receding flood, like Old
Man River retreating to his
banks after a ruinous rampage.
But one wonders, sometimes,
whether the present generation
knew the full meaning of hard
times. I don't mean individ-
ualS, or groups of individuals,
such as have suffered almost to
the point of desperation in the
past few years. I mean whole
sections, like the South during
and after the Civil War. There
are living today ladies and gen.
tlemen below Mason and Dix
on's Line who could tell a thrill
ing tale of what hard times
really are, of what destitution
can do.
War Privations
AS Allen Tate writes in his
fine book on Jeffeson Davis, the
ingenuity of Southern women
was strained to the limit to
provide substitutes for a thou
sand and one articles of neces-
sary use. Coffee was so scare
that it was boarded for medical
use only, to give to soldiers Suf-
fering from exhaustion and
shell shock. Instead Of coffee,
millions drank a liquid made
from parched corn, Drowned
wheat and sliced. dry yams.
Tea was made from strawberry
leaves. Medicines were terribly
scarce. A quine pill cost dol,
lar in 1862.
The ladies wore homespun
and dyed it with the sap of
trees. The pine tree root gave
them garnet. From myrtle was
boiled a soft gray. Hickory bark
made a bright green. Walnut
hulls have a warm brown. Rusty
nails were used to set the dye
for these homespun dresses. Pa
per, pens and ink were almost
unprocurable. The reverse side
Of wall paper was used for writ
ing paper, and ink was made
out Of oak gals.
One of the severest privations
suffered b. the ladies of the
Southern Coniederacy was the
lack of stays to support the
weight of the: voluminouS
skirts. A blockade runner who
slipped into a Southern port
with a cargo of corsets disposed
of the lot at an enormous profit.

Richmond appeared in a dress

gourd seeds dyed red. Women

If the Congress takes the
President at his word, there
will be much more investiga-
ton than legislation at the
present session
Rejoicing in "the fine rela-
tionship" existing between the
executive and legislative
branches, emphasizing the wis.
dom of the fathers in separat-
ing them, Mr.. Roosevelt invited
the Congress to share with him
a united effort to make the
Government more and more the
powerful protector of the people.
This the Congress faces a
tremendous opportunity to do
by turning the searchlight OF
impartial inquiry upon the
many agencies, permanent and
temporary, which have been
operating at top speed during
the recess of Congress.
Prepared to Aid
The more money an admins
tration spends the greater is
the danger that waste and cor
ruption will be encountered.
This is especially true where
these vast expenditures are
swiftly made to meet a national
emergency.
In the Steadfast effort of the
President to prevent graft and
eliminate waste under the
national recovery program, the
help of the Congress is an
absolute necessity.
And under the American
system of government the Con-
gress is organized to render
the sort Of assistance which
the President requires. The
committees of both houses are
supposed to scrutinize all execu-
tive activities for which the
Congress provides authority
and appropriations.
The Informative funtion of
Congress has never been more
clearly ans comprehensively de-
Scribed than by Woodrow Will
son in that Illuminating study
in American politics which he
wrote while at Johns Hopkins
University in 1884. In this, the
first book he ever published, to
which he gave the title "Con-
gr esSional Government" he
pointed out "the most practi-
cal features Of the Federal Sys-
tenn"
Of the power and the duty
Of the ConIre to ask ques-
tions and insist upon answers
regarding the administration
of the Government, Mr.. Will
son said:
"COngress is the only body
which has the proper n,otiUe for
inquiry, and it is the only body
which has the pOWer to act ef-
fectiUely upon the knowledge
Which its inquiries secure :.

IN Mr.. Wilson's opinion, in

legislation the secondary func-

these reasons:
eft 10 the proper duty of
representative body to look
diligently into every affair of
government and to talk much
about what it sees. 1t is meant
to be the eyes and the Uoice,
and to enbody the Disdom and

"Unless Congress haUe and

tue agencies of the Govern
n1ent, the country must be help

ignor0nc~ of the Uery affairs
which it is most important that

"The informing function Of
Congress should be preferred
even to it's Legislative function.
Pubic Trust
Whether Congress is going to
take the advice at the present
session of Woodrow Wilson and
prefer it's informing function to
its legislative function depends
upon the leaders in both Houses
on both sides of the aisle. If
these leaders have the con-
science and the courage to put
the public interest above their
own selfish, personal, and politi-
cal interests, they will unite in
a patriotic resolve to check up
at this session on the activity of
every Federal agency now spend
ing the peoples money by the
thousands of millions.
This will help the President.
1t will help the Administration.
1t will help the leadership of
both political parties by raising
them in the estimation of their
constituents. And it will help
the taxpayer most of all. It
will enable him to find out how
much of his hard-earned money
is going to support vital govern
mental services which he re-
quires for his protection.
1t will reveal to him how much
of it is being squandered to
subsidize the sinister ends of
special privilege and feed at the
public trough a horde of politi-
cal parasites who regard public
office as "a political racket" in

said it was-"a public trust"

time drops away. For a young
man comes to believe that time
doesn matter; that time is a
bogey which we humans have
conjured up, out of our own
stupidity; that, in reality, all
time is one and endless.

were in a boat going along the
river. And you had passed a
group of trees which now lay
behind you, around a bend in
the river: and you had not yet
come to another group of trees
which still lay ahead of YOU
then that would be like the
Past and the Future, and you,
in your little boat, would be in
the Present.

life might be if we could
do away with out foolish fears,
and the walling years. For
here are two spirits who
triumph over time-over birth
and death, and the fret and
terror which accompany them.
And, as you watch them,
you yourself feel free. And you,
too, feel that life goes on in
spite of anything-that all our
worry and our hurry is a
troubled dream-that some
where, some time, we will find
our hearts true home.
And you, too, cry with that
brave, tender girl who dared to
love and laugh across a waiting
grave.
IN MY TIME, BUT IN GODS

Not in your time nor in my
time but in Gods time-it will
all come true, my dear.
All that beauty and kindli-
ness of which we dream-all
that honesty and decency and
fair play-some day it will all
come true.
Nothing can stop it. The
years cannot stop it. Mans
hate and fear and stupidity can
not stop it. The poverty that
is binding you now-the pain
in my side that will soon make
an end of me-these things can.
not stop us. For love and life
go on forever!
Behind use there lie millions
of years of darkness and fear
and savage cruelty. Yet love
and life went on in spite OF
everything. Why should we fear
they will be conquired now?
Don't fear! Don't count these
anxious moments, as though
they were the end. There is no
end. Some day the dreams will
all come true-and you and I
will see them come true.
MOT IN YOUR TIME NOR

Gods time is endless. God
does not worry. Life does not
hurry. There is always another
chance-around the bend.
Stop counting the hours. Stop
dreading tomorrow. Be still.
"BE STILL AND KNOW
THAT I AM GOD!"
Be still, and know that the
power which put that dream Of
love within your heart, that hun
ger for truth and justice, will
not fail you now.
Our bodies bind us now. So
do the years. We cannot cross
the wall while in the flesh, as
that boy did.
BUT BY OUR FAITH WE
CAN STRIDE OVER TINE
AND TOUCH HORIZONS HID
FROM LIVING EYES.
Be still, and do the best you
can for now. But do not do it
frantically, as though it were
the end. Do it as soldiers make
a camp for just one night.
The stones are hard; the
wind is cold-but what of that?
Tomorrow-andt tomorrow-we'll
go on, to better trails. Some
day, somewhere, We'll find the
hearts true home.

We are even too lazy to make
these synthetic affairs charm
ing or beautiful or convincing.
That would take skill-and
ENERGY. We pass over all the
graceful little beginnings and
subtleties; we don't even pre-
tend to any emotions or gla-
mour. We start right off with
the kiss and the tempestuous
embrace-which would make a
lover of the old school shudder
with distaste.
Lots of men are too lazy to
face the thought of marriage
and the struggle of supporting
a home or a family; and lots
of women are too lazy to face

And lots of those who do get

to adjust themselves to each
