As it defines itself through day
to-day developments, the aim of
the New Deal is neither outright
Socialism nor a return to uncon-
trolled Capitalism. 1t is, rather,
controlled Capitalism. Controlled
in that it is conceived to be the
duty of government, not to prevent
business from making profits, but
to keep the accumulation of those

The high peak of the American
national debt was in 1919, when
Uncle Sam owed almost 26 billions.
Eleven billions of that has been paid
off in the past fourteen years. AS
the Treasury figures it, the pro-
posed 81 billions Of debt will figure
out at only about $3.50 per
for the entire population, so the
cost of carrying it, at ; percent,
will be about $3.50 a year for every
man, woman and child in the Unit
ed States. And, naturally, it is
strongly believed that it will i'm
prove everybody's economic condi-
ton by a great deal more than that
to have this huge volume of money
put into use, to employ labor, pur-
chase materials and improve the
physical condition of the nation.
The money raised for war was ex-
ploded, thrown away, wasted. This
money will be used for constructive,
not destructive purposes.
That is the way the President,
the Treasury and the Administra-
ton generally look at the program;
but beyond the matter of dollars,
the Administration is looking ahead
to the more abundant life," which
is the avowed aim of the New Deal,
and which it is hoped to bring about
by Federal aid in the next two or
three years.

Other View of Debt.
For Constructive
Purposes.
The New Deal Aims.
Hopeful Outlook

Washington-By spending a few
thousand millions less than the
United States spent for the Great
War, President Roosevelt hopes and
expects to re-establih the economic
balance and at the same time to-
establish a planned social-economic
order which will insure the nationI
against future booms as wei! as full
ture depressions and make a t-sur-
renee Of widespread distress, f;nan-|
cial loss and general unemployment
impossible.
That is in essence what is bc'.indl
the budget which he subnieted to
Congress. When he laid figures be-
fore the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives which contemplate the
borrowing by the United States of
another ten billions of dollars in the
next year and a half, the size of the
sum proposed to be spent to carry
out the purpose of the New Deal
staggered those who were nos pre-
pared for it. 1t set the computers
to work to figure out what would
be the size of the National Debt
when this money shall have been
borrowed. And the total, any way
it is figured, comes to nearly 81
billions of dollars.
To owe 81 thousand millions is
incomprehensible to .tc average
person. Few people, even great
financiers, can think in such terms.
Only a government, and a very
strong government, can even con-
template it. But governments do.
not think of debts as something
pressing for paymeot, they have.
to think of them as something to
pay interest on. So what such a
debt will cost, if the interest is fig
ured as high as 3 per cent, will be
less than a thousand million a year,
or only about a third Of the oedi-
nary expenses of the government.
SLAshen it is looked at tha- way,
" further thought is kept in|
hat a great eeal of the, money
has been borrowed so far, and
that it is proposed to borrow, to-
make up the grand total of the
public debt of 81 billions has been
and will come back, in time, from
those sources, it doesn't seem sol
much like something to worry
about.
Even Senator Reed IF Pennsyl-I
vania, who is certainly no friend OF
the New Deal, admits that the bur
den. proposed does lot seem exces-
sive. 1t is barely half of the Brit
ish public debt, which is borne BY
fewer than half as many people.
1t is ten billion dollars less tnan the
United States spent during and after
the Great War, for war purposes,
not counting the money we lent to-
our Allies.

Annual Sale

While guest in the State of
Washington for the Christmas holi-
days DR.. Walter H. Brown OF
Stanford University, president of
the Western Branch, and presi-
dent-elect of the American Public
Health association, in a discussion
of public health problems gave his
hearty approval of the Christmas
seal sale as an essential factor III
the volunteer campaign against
tuberculosis.
Members of the medical profess
sion and those interested in public
health" said DR.. Brown, uniformly
appreciate that the Christmas seal
sale has been responsible for many
advances in the prevention and
treatment of tuberculosis.
"This great philanthropic move
ment originated in Denmark" con
tinued DR.. Brown and it's develop
ment in America over a period OF
% years has been paralleled by a
remarkable decrease in the tuber-
culosiS death rate. Since Christmas
seals furnish funds which are de-
voted to safeguarding everyone
against the ravages of tuberculosis
I highly endorse the seal sale.

Three Are Held
On Liquor Count
Charged In Federal Count With
Introducing Liquor Into
Indian Country

The three, charged with introduce
ing liquor into an Indian country,
are William LaFleur, Mrs. Bessie
Bradshaw and Robert King, all of
Disautel. They will be tried in fed

Put Large Crew
!: On Dam Conveyor
Twenty-Four Men Needed To Oil
Giant Belt At Grand
Coulee

GRAND COULEE DAM-It takes
"a men to Oil the hundreds OF
rollers of the conveyor system.
One man has been stationed be-
tween each two houses which con-
tain the motor which propels the
giant belt layout. There are 16 of
these houses. Thus it takes eight
men per shift and "a during the
24-hour day.
The huge rocks found in the
overburden have caused the MWAK
excavators considerable trouble. The
big boulders have a tendency to
stick in the mesh which separates
them from the earth flowing down
into the feeder units above the big
belt, thus plugging up the open
spaces through which the earth
must go.
Several times during the day the
machine had to be stopped so that
the large rocks can be removed.
Alterations are expected to be made
to remedy this troublesome stu
alton.
Two "whirlies" and two derricks
are now at work on the water
front area. A road has been built
parallel to the stream for use by
trucks and cars. Driving of fir
timbers to hold heavy machinery
needed to drive the sheet-piling has
been taking place for the past week
Actual driving of the sheet-pii-
ing will not be started for another
five or six days, officials of the
company said.

was Immediately recognized and the
agricultural census became a per-
minant institution" the report ex-
plains. From 1910 to 1880 the
agricultural census was taken every
ten years, but due to the rapid
strides made by agriculture, agri-
cultural Interests and government
organizations demanded an inven-
tory every five years and in 1925
the enumeration was provided for
in the fifteenth decennial census

port, the census results will have
unusual significance due to the

and ranches and utilization of land
brought about by the depression of

NAB HUNDREDS
FOR VIOLATING
GAME STATUTES
Protectors Arrest 1856 Offenders
During November, James
Reveals
Close To Record
Months Total Second In History
Of State Game Depart
ment
ISSUED BY RAY F. JAMES
State Director of Game


The number of arrests during
the month of November is second
highest in the history of the state
game department, game protectors
working under Bernard r. Nc
Cauley, chief patrol officer, appre-
bending 1886 game law violators.
The game protectors, as shown
by this statement of arrests, have
discharged their duty to hunters
and fishermen who pay their salary
with the money that they have
spent for licenses. They realize that
their accomplishment is not alto
gether a personal achievement, but
whatever measure OF success they
have had, has been due to the CO.
operation Of the loyal citizens and
county and district officials who
consider conservation of wild life
resources one of the important
things in our state and national
life.
Faudree To Superintend Farms
j. w. Faudree, superintendent of
the Spokane game farm for the past
seven years, has been named sup
erintendent of state game farms by
Ray f. James, director of game. He
will have headquarters at the
Steilacoom State game farm. Mr..
Faudree has had many years ex-
perience in game breeding, and
officials of the department feel ne
is well equipped to supervise the
propagation of birds on the various
farms Ralph Gady, former. super
intendent of the Yakima game
farm, is now in charge OF the Spok-
ane farm at Mead.
Many Swans Reported
@. D. Hoff, game protector at
Soap Lake, estimates that there are
300 swans and 1000 geese on Brook
lake this winter. This is in the
Stratford reserve, Grant county
Last year about rs swans and 5000
geese stayed on the lake. Hoff states
that not one shot has been heard
on the lake this season.
Hunting Accidents
The annual loss of human life
and the number of hunting accidents
SNORT OF QeaCn now preVa1enC seems
to warrant popular concern. At least
five hunters were killed and several
times that number injured during
the 1884 hunting season.
1t is significant that a large
percentage of all hunting accidents
are self inflicted. There is some

hunting that causes otherwise sane
individuals to perform irrationally.
What does it avail the state to
conserve it's game resources if the
recreational use of this resource is
to result in an annual loss of human
life of unnecessarily large proper
tions? This is one phase of con-
servation-and an important one
where the bulk of the burden rests
