precedent to apply the ruling to every
State to the extent OF its ability to
contribute"
Because Of the size Of the Federal
unemployment relief budget" accord
ing to the Bloomington (In) Panta-
graph, there has been tendency in
some States to relax and let Uncle
Sam do it all. A more disastrous way
Of meeting the situation could hardly
be imagined. The Federal Govern
ment has extended its power in the
last year or two to an extent pre-
viously undreamed of. If the States
are TO abdiCate in the field Of relief
of their own distressed citizens, this
growing liberalization of the Nation
will be tremendously accelerated. In
addition, the strain on the Federal
budget will be pushed just that much
nearer to the breaking point"
The San Francisco Chronicle thinks
that Federal officials should work in
closer harmony with the State The
Troy IN. " Record emphasizes the
need Of support from private agencies,
as urged by Administrator Hopkins,
private agencies is desperate" The
Williamsport pa Sun holds that
the chief problem of the Federal
Government is to distribute relief on
a basis of need and of the ability of
the individual States to assume a part
of the burden"
Charges that applicants for relief
owned motor cars bring the statement
from the Joplin CMo) Globe that
thousands and thousands are on re-
lief rolls who have no right to be
there" The Winston-Salem journal
concludes: Such practices seriously
hinder the work of the relief forces
and doubtless operate to the disad-
vantage of those who really are in
need. Then, too, it provides the Gov
eminent with a false set of statistics.
1t makes the economic situation ap-
pear worse than it actually is, and it
results in the waste of public money"

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

School.
The youngster with q mournful face
Now trudges on his way,
Though sunshine fingers round the
place
And bids his footsteps stay.
The leaf still rustles on the bough
Above the Swallowed pool.
But what are lifes allurements now?
He has to 60 to school.
And all the world may sympathize
With his reluctant mood.
The gay. the grave. the weak, the
wise
Must face with fortitude
Each year some lesson long and new
While searching for q rule
To guide us this existence through.
We've got to 90 to school.

To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Your editorial on The Socialist
Democrat Party" is interesting and
amusing, but considerably exaggerated.
The Sinclair E P L c. plan is not
fundamental Socialism, and the lack
OF knowledge OF the Washington papers
upon the subject of socialism is per-
haps due to their fear that If the
editors studied 1t carefully and con-
scientiouSly they might be converted!
Isn't that the truth? None so blind
as those who will not see" Capitalism
fears to give the District of Columbia
suffrage. Why? Socialism would give
them equal suffrage without their even
having to ask for it. because So
cis ism means universal democracy.

1t Is true that the Sinclair z. P.
I. C. plan Is a step forward from the
New Deal. but it is certainly not a
radical step. 1t does not matter to
the Socialist party whether Sinclalr's
plan works well or not. If 1t works,
the people Of California and Of the
Nation at large will demand more
truly Socialist education and legis-
lation. and If it does not work, the
Socialistic education and sentiment
will be largely increased just the same.
The Socialist party will benefit more
from Sinclair's defeat than it will
from his election. So. you see, So
cialism is going to win either wayl
1t is evolutionary, while Communism
is revolutionary. Capitalism is i'm
paled upon the horns Of a dilemma.
California capitalists want to get the
unemployed of the relief rolls. Sim
CLAIR knows how to do that. All
Socialists or near-Socialists know
that. Temporarily, he seems to be
working for the present social order.
But suppose the plan is a success.
Then the people will say: We'll you
