Herbert Hoover said grass would

Roosevelt has fed scores and scores
of men keeping grass from growing
on the shoulder of streets and roads

too much dependence in a great

is backed by prejudice.

consider the light rate reduction

Let me say that I never have re-

Mr.. Commissioner, what effect
will cut in rates have on the

wages adequate? Have they ever
been reduced? What effect will a
reduction have on the average
stakeholder? Does the light COM

NEW YEAR greetings are due
IN from the American public to
Sherman F. Mittel, editor, and
to the advisory board Of the Ma
tional Home library at Washing
ton for their splendid innova-
ton in book publishing. Their
Jacket library, making its gay
debut in 1884, merits the heartiest
approval Of ell who are inter-
ested in the development Of cul-
tured race.
Their plan seeks to bring the
finest classics into humble homes.
For IS cents one may get a COM
pact, nicely paper-bound volume,
exceuently printed in good read
able type, which contains a gem
of world literature.
That good books are available
to every one in the United States
is a supposition accepted too gen.
orally, for it is a false supposition.
Indeed, in many places, good
books are not TO be had at all ex-
cept by private purchase. Most
of them, as We know, are too
high priced for the average mans
purse. Because Of that he some
times resorts to cheap trash or
does without reading altogether.

LET THINGS BE DONE

TT has been interesting to watch the dag
nosticians getting to work on President
Roosevelt's address to congress, trying to figure
out whether in the main it was liberal" or
a conservative document.
Even more interesting is the fact that there
seems to be no unanimity of opinion on the
issue. Some commentators find it one thing
some find it another, and some find it care
fully balanced middle of -the-road affair.
But while this discussion may be interest,"
ing, it is not of any very great Importance
For this distinction between liberalism and
conservatism seems to be one thing that the
ordinary American has stopped caring about
of late.
The ordinary American, one may guess,
read Mr. RooSevelt's speech without once
stopping to figure out whether the gentleman
in the White House was inclining to the left
or to the right This business of labels has
become-for the time being. at any rate
unimportant.
After all. there is a pretty general agree
ment in the land on the things which the adj
ministration ought to accomplish. People
want to see prosperity restored; that is, they
want to see stores and factories and railroads
busy once more, they want to see the bread
lines dwindling and the help wanted" signs
going up again.
They want to see a return of that era in
which farmer and laboring man and business
man and professional man could face both
present and future with decent sort of con-
fdence.
And it is very much to be doubted If the
mass of people care very greatly how all this
is accomplished.
s That certain reforms must come with this
revival is taken largely for granted Revival
must not carry with it the seeds of new COL
lapse. Human values must be given a wider
3, place in the general scheme of things. In
so far as we can discover the causes of the
last collapse we must eradicate them.
But as for the labels that are attached to
the acts Of recovery-does the ordinary man
actually care two boots about them? 1t is very
doubtful.
So long as we are moving toward recovery
and trying to avoid the mistakes of the past,
it makes little difference to him whether our
policies are liberal, conservative, little of
both-or neither.

TUESDAY. JAN. Q. 1884.
STEEL DEFIES GOVERNMENT


THE United States government and the
United States Steel Corporation are face
to face on an issue fundamentally important
to the recovery program and the industrial
future.
d. The steel corporations subsidiary the H. C.
Prick Coal and Coke Company, has told the
national labor board that 1t will not sign a
contract with the United Mine Workers of
America. although officers Of the mine workers
were selected by workers at the Prick company
mines to represent them in collective bar
gaining
I'VE are not extending, and don't intend
extending recognition if that means making
a union contract" says Nathan L. Miller,
counsel for the Prick company. I'VE always
have made it plain that we would not con-
tract with anybody but our employees; that
we would not make a union contract, and
would not arbitrate the question with this
board"
Sharply opposed to this position is the gov
eminent, on record in Section IA of the in
dustrial recovery act as guaranteeing to all
workers in the United States the right to
sociate themselves in trade unions and bargain
collectively with their employers The lam
guage of the act Enthusiastically is clear. If
workers in a plant elect to bargain through
trade union and reject the company union
which some employers try to press upon them,
the federal government has undertaken to as
sure them of that right.
Steel's captive mines have fought Sec
ton IA from the time it was enacted into law.
They are, however, subscribers to a code which
pledges observance of this section along with
others. They signed an agreement with the
President of the United States last October
to negotiate to a conclusion" with any rep
resentatives selected by their workers. Yet
today they refuse.
The Importance Of the attitude taken by
the national labor board, and the administra-
ton which created it, can not be overstated.
It holds the answer to the future OF Amer
ica,s labor movement, and therefore to the fu-
ture of Americas industrial life.

DOING GAS THEY PLEASE"

WE have demanded Of many citizens that
they surrender certain licenses to do
as they pleased in their business relationships,
but we have asked this in exchange for the
protection which the state can give against
exploitation by their fellowmen. President
Roosevelt.
In the former days of uncurbed competi-
ton, a man ran his business not according to
his own standards, but largely according to
the practices which it pleased" the least
scrupulous members of his industry to adopt.
What the new deal has done is to free
business from the tyrannical control of this
INSCRIPTIONS minority, and to substitute DEM
ocratic control by the enlightened majority
under the friendly supervision of the gov
eminent.

eminent, and I voted for McNutt,

1t was our h ,oe that the deductions

EMPLOYEES would cease at the end Or

Municipality burden.
In making budget estimates for the
fiscal year July 1881 TO June 1885 the
salaries have neen taken as reduced IN
in order that the budget may pc balanc-
ed. with the reduced Federal contribution.
If these employees are again to re-
ceive their oaslc salaries municipal reve-
nues must be increased. Yet there will
be in all probability decrease in the re-
venues from uear. Less sugar may
be exported as a large portion of the
cane crop may be used for the manufac-
ture of rum.
The export tax on rum may, or may
no, be adequate 10 offset the loss in the
export tax on sugar. If a check can De
put upon the illegal sale of liquor there
should be an appreciable revenue from
both import duty and excise tax which
should afford the municipality sufficient
means to Go justice TO those VINO are
