FEARS UPRISING OF
NEEDY WORKERS

BY Reader.
I certainly get a great kick out
of the Message Center. 1t gives a
fellow the ideas of others to COM
pare with his own and in way
is a pretty good kind of an educa-
ton. However, these last four weeks
mud-slinging has had the spotlight.
We are supposed to be civilized
Christians, and yet We fight each
other like tigers for good salaries
and easy jobs.
While all this is going on, let us
take a look at another picture. Mil
lions are on some kind of relief, and
if you will go with me into some of
the homes Of the relief workers in
our own city, here is what you'll
find:
Threadbare clothing patched to
the limit; underfed, barefoot, half
clothed children and parents; in
surance policies gone; no money for
doctor bills; no coal and no money
to buy any.
Cold winds of an approaching
winter driving that old fear back
again that the politicians try to
make us believe is gone. You do
not believe it? All right, come down
to Tenth street and White river and
listen in, or at, any other work re-
lief place.
have heard these questions asked
hundreds Of times:
How will We get coal this winter?
My kids have no clothes for school
and I can't buy them. My landlord
told me either get some rent or get
out. I can't pay rent, buy groceries,
or anything, the prices are so high
can hardly feed my family"
After a long silence, everybody
agrees and signs. The conversation
goes on until they all swear to go
out and take what they need by
force. They will do just that thing
too, and who can blame them?
The old Republican order folded
up like tent when the storm broke.
Then the Democratic New Deal
came along and told the unem-
ployed it would put them back to
the American standard of living. In
stead, the New Deal shot the cost
Of living about four times higher
than it was and the condition men
toned above is spreading like .

QUESTIONS CORRECTNESS
OF VOTE ON NEW DEAL
BY a Subscriber.

BY a Subscriber.
I wish to agree with Mr.. Olvey,
who wrote in the Message Center
that I greatly doubt the correctness
of the Literary Digest's New Deal
vote.
I am a reader Of the Digest, and as
such on its mailing list. I received
vote card in April and voted for
the New Deal.
OF the September poll, however,
knew nothing until the postman
brought me the Digest, which in
formed all readers through its col
umns that a great change had taken
place and a large per cent had
turned their backs to the New Deal.
do not think so. I have seen at
least ten April voters favorable to
the present program. All said they
were still Of the same opinion as in
April, but none received any notice
Of the September poll. This includes
both Democrats and Republicans.

IDEAS HARVESTED FROM
MESSAGE CENTER
]. n. c., Terre Haute

]. y. c., Terre Haute.
I have read the Message Center
since it was first started and I learn
much from it. The flock OF crack
pots, including myself. seems to be
on the increase. A fair summary OF
the ideas expressed during the past
months is about as follows:
Make people ride on trains in
stead of automobiles; ship by freight
instead of trucks. This will solve
the railroad problem.
Sell at high prices and buy at low
prices. This will solve the retailers
problem.
Get high wages and work short
hours. This will solve the labor
problem.
Sell to foreign countries, but don't
buy from them. Bring the ships

THE LEGION'S FOLLY

A SELFISH blunder has been made by the
- American Legion convention in demand
ing immediate cash payment of the bonus.
Under the guise of helping the needy and
Of fastening recovery. the legion insists that
almost three billion dollars be distributed by
the federal government among veterans as
veterans, most of whom are able-bodied and
employed and some of whom are well-to-do
In making this demand. the legion knows that
the government does not have this money,
that it is heavily in debt, and that it is using
every cent it can borrow for the relief Of fam
lilies of hungry citizens. both veterans and
nonveterans.
We hope and believe that President Roose-
welt and congress will save the legion from its
own folly by refusing to jeopardize the general
relief program and the specific relief for dis
abled veterans through the expenditure Of al
most three billion dollars on a blanket cash
bonus
Disabled veterans and unemployed veterans
and nonveterans should come first.

Secretary Norgenthau estimated
the Federal Government would lose
$1,O0O,000,0O0 if it were called upon
to carry out the Mcleod bank de-

The Secretary estimated the initial
cost of putting the measure under
way would be 81 ,807 .2999 and the
eventual loss $1,O83,211, ,746.
Morgenthau made it clear in COM

figures were only rough estimates
since it would be necessary to have
an analysis of the condition of each

BOSTON EVICTION
PROBE IS CLOSED
A. &. A. Agent Exonerates Land
lords Case as National
Turnover"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TY >ONZA, Ark, March 16.-E. A.
Miller. an agent of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration, today
closed his investigation into the evic-
ton of Ed Boston from a farm near
Tyronza, and exonerated his former
landlord.
There is no decision in the case
for us to make" Miller said. Last
Fall Boston signified bis intention Of
leaving Another family was secured
to take his place. When Boston found
he was unable to find another crop
he refused to leave and was evicted.
I have an AFFIDAVIT to that effect.
There is no provision in the code
requiring planters to retain their
identical tenants, just so they retain
a number in 1884 equal to the num-
ber employed in 1888. There is a
natural turnover"
Norman Thomas, the Socialist lead
er, was among those protesting Bos-
tons eviction. Boston was one of a
group Of sharecroppers described by
Thoma as forgotten men"
Miller said he had found "a few
instances" of failure of Arkansas
landlords to comply with the pro-
vision of the cotton agreement, but
there was absolutely no evidence of
wholesale chiseling" among Arkansas
farmers.
