Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press,


CHICAGO, March 3.-Grain prices
averaged higher early today. And
wheat touched new top point for
the week. Strength shown by securi-
ties was bullish factor as to grain.
Opening unchanged to "a cent up,
May 877sa8S, wheat later held near
the initial limits. Corn started un-
changed to u higher, and subse-
quently eased somewhat.
Moderate selling pressure, which
afterward developed in the wheat
market, carried prices for that grain
down temporarily to well below yes
terday's finish. Word from Winnipeg
that yesterdays purchasing for export
account totaled 100000 bushels
served as a counterbalance. with the
market here rallying to even with yes
terday's final quotations.
Prices for corn and oats fluctuated
narrowly with wheat.
Provisions were firm. Influenced by
steadiness Of hog values.
Wheat futures purchasing yesterday
totaled l4,573,000 bushels and corn
100000.

MEN WITH "a PULL"

A sidelight on this controversy
over political patronage at Wash
ingtOn may be traced to President
Roosevelt's attack upon members of
the Democratic National Committee
who have established law offices in
Washington since the last Inaugural
tion, and who have been drawing
large and easy fees for alleged in
fuence with Government depart
ments. The President objects to
claims that these committeeman have
extensive pull" Frank C. Walker
of New York, treasurer of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee Rob
ert Jackson of New Hampshire, sec
rotary of the committee, and ].
Bruce Kremer of Montana, have re-
signed from the committee. Arthur
+. Mullen of Nebraska, is under fire,
as also are a number of other COM
mitteemen.
President Roosevelt undoubtedly
believes in rewarding many of the
party who rendered faithful service
but he has made it absolutely plain
that he will not tolerate the action
Of any politician to attempt to set
up political bargain counters in the
National Capital.
Milford chronicle., 1934-02-23
SAFEGUARDING VALUES

President Roosevelt has sent q
message to Congress. calling for 8
law that would end unnecessary
nnwise. and destructive speculation.
as he puts it. lie emphasizes the
necessity of safeguarding values. The
phrase is a good one, for the indus
trial life of the nation is built on
values. If people can not depend
on values, how can they do business
and keep labor employed?
Stock exchanges perform a useful
service, if speculation is kept within
reasonable limits. Suppose a busi-
ness man has to pay some large BILL
and his cash assets are not suf-
ficient. Let us say he has some stock
in a leading corporation. Now If
there were no stock exchanges, he
would presumably have to ask his
neighbOrs or business associates TO
buy that stock, and very likely they
could not do so. and perhaps he
would have to sell it for half or
a quarter of its value.
But if there are stock exchanges,
plenty of spectators will buy that
stock for a slight fraction under the
market, hoping for small profit.
So the business man becomes able
10 pay his bill, business goes on as
usual, and the values of property are
preserved.
But suppose some great group Of
spectators try TO depress that stock
and many other securities. If values
have been pushed to fictitious level,
such proceeding may be in the long |,
run useful. But if such movements !
go too far and create panic, peo-
pie lose their savings. many busi- .
ness concerns have to stop. and val
ies are destroyed.
II is up then 10 Congress to frame
/ measure that shall safeguard real
values. vet shall not be so severe
hat the work of Offering fair mar
let price for values shall be Grip
pied.

NEWSPAPERS AS TEXTBOOKS

Former Congressman Davenport
of New York is conducting courses at
Wesleyan University at MiddletOwn,
Connecticut, on the subject of gov
ernment. and OH three days each
week, he uses newspapers as his
textbook. Probably there are many
other schools and colleges where
newspapers are thus used. Under
capable leader like this former
statesman. such IL course would do
much good.
II should teach young people not
To spend too much time reading about
gossip. scandals, and crime, but to
comprehend how the dOings of the
federal, state, city, and town gov
ernments affect our lives. They
should form the habit of studying
the acts of government, and learn to
discriminate, as to how far these
acts are helping community progress,
or impeding such gains.

ARE WE DETERIORATING!

On national holidays like Wash
ingtOn's birthday. we celebrate the
great fOreiathers who founded our
nation. II sometimes seems as If
they had almost superhuman intel
ligence. II is remarked, for instance.
that the men who framed the con-
stitution of the United States showed
higher degree of intelligence than
any Congress that has assembled
since that time. and that the aver
age run of the people of those days
were better citizens and more intel
ligemt than the average run of folks
today.
If that is so. il is a strange de-
terioration. to take place after l55
years when we have poured ont mon
ey for education. and established a
superb system of schools and col
lrgFs
The truth seems To lie that our
people were never so intelligent as
they are today. but that their minds
have been so concentrated oil their
personal aims. that it is hard to get
them to consider the needs of their
community and government. Also
when peoples minds are so cOncen-
trated. they are apt to become sell
fish When they become selfish, dis
honesty and crime are encouraged.
1t is fine thing for people to be |
ambitious But when their aims are
concentrated on the idea of making |
money. they often forget about the !
duty of looking after their govern |
mrnt. Also they demand such cost
ly things to satisfy them, that they |
keep grasping for more and more i
money, and thus are apt to trample |
on the rights of other people.
The people of those old days when
the government was founded were
not naturally any more honest. But
they had learned to live in simple
way. to which many of our people
can not adjust themselves. Too
many people insist on having the
things they want, at the cost of hon
NJ aud ideals.

SPRING SEASON IN BUSINESS

The stock market always expects
spring rise" in the value of Sc
rurities. In the spring season, more
people 80 to work on farms and con-
structiOn jobs. more is paid out in
wages, people are able to buy more,
and business becomes more active.
We are now close TO the time OF
year when these things always hap
pen. People should get ready for
them. They should look forword
with hope and energy to new oppor-
tunities. they should work for new
business. put in better licks at their
trade. advertise goods. If we all
take hold of our work with Il will,
we shall get this spring rise in bust
ness, in addition to the tremendous
impulse which should be given by all
the projects for which the govern
ment is spending money.

SHORTER WORKING WEEK

A meeting of all NRA code authOri-
ties has been called for March 5
when the subject will be discussed OF
a further reduction in hours of labor
The working time of people under
the NRA codes is now estimated at
little over 40 hours per week. II
is claimed that by reducing this to
about 32 hours per week, 2.5O0,0OO
more of the unemployed can he put
! to work.
1t is extremely desirable TO get all
these folks to work. But if the peo-
pie working on short hours receive
the same pay per week that they did
before, and new employees have to
be taken on. then there is going TO
he large increase in operating
costs. The majority of concerns and
corporations are not making any
money today. People can't be ex
pected to run their plants very long
at a loss. If they did so. the result
would he TO injure the credit of such
concerns.
If we eOnld have Il general agree
ment of all concerns to run shorter
hours and put on more people, the
result would be beneficial. Millions
of folks now idle would be taken off
the relief lists. This would restore
the credit of many bankrupt cities,
and result in lower taxes. A new
feeling of hope and cheer would
spread through the business world,
and trade and production would eX-
pand.
Ii is inconceivable that the Amer
lean people will be permanently sat
lifted however, TO work only 50 hours
a week. Most of them would rather
work more and earn more. In the
long run. wages depend upon the
amount of goods produced and sold. |
II only a small amount is produced |
and sold as the result of a short |
week, wages will always be low. As !
A temporary measure the short week |
may be helpful. hut il is not likely

ECHOES OF CIVIL WAR

Across the ocean come the rever-
heratiOns of conflict in great Euro
pean capitals. notably from Vienna
This famous city is known all oveI
the world as center of gaiety and
pleasure. Johann Strauss. waltz
king" there wrote innumerable
pieces of dance music which still
echo over our ball room floors.
Yet in this center of pleasure,
there today stalks the black figure of
war, as government troops turn their
artillery on rioters. The quarrels of
humanity may be settled temporarily
by such fighting. But armed con-
flict sows very deep the seeds Of
rancor, and they bring forth bitter
fruitage.

MONEY Is A STRANGE ARTICLE!

The economist figures out what
this or that monetary policy will do
and when it is put into effect re-
suits are apt to be Numerically diff
ferent. That is true, TO an extent.
of the Roosevelt SO cent dollar. Rea-
son for creating it was to boost
commodity markets, and strengthen
the American position in foreign
trade
As SOON as Mr.. Roosevelt signed
the bill fireworks started in the stock
and bond markets. Activity was the
heaviest in many months, with
shares changing hands at a dizzying
rate. Prices were generally up. But
the commodity market did not re-
act accordingly. And, across the
water, the pound started to depreci-
ate faster than the dollar. In Lon
don dollar was still worth 81 cents.
Result of that was that banks could
buy gold there for $34, ship il to
Washington and sell il for $35-a
profit of 3 per cent in. week. At
last reports, the fast liners for Amer
lea were sOlidly booked with gold
freight for more than two weeks in
advance. Much of the worlds sup
ply of gold came out of the treasur-
les of Holland, Belgium. Switzer-
land and Italy TO the United States.
France sent most of all-l05, ,000, 900
francs worth. This is exactly what
tine Treasury wants. So long as gold
flows into the country there will be
no difficulty in keeping the dollars
exchange value down. There is dan
ger that France, however, will pro-
hibit gold exports. In that case the
American Treasury will have to sell |
dollars to keep their value down, |
precisely as stock manipulators |
throw great blocks of shares on the /
open market to depreciate their |
value. But the burning problem of |
lethargic commodity markets re-
mains to be solved

NEGLECT OF CITIZENSHIP

People may be said to have three
main occupations. Their daily work
or business, maintenance of their
family if there is one, and the per-
fOrmance of. their duties as citizens.
Most people look after their daily
work and their families fairly we'll,
but they are very apt to neglect the
duties of citizenship. If people were
as slack about work and business as
they are about citizenship activities,
they would lose their jobs, their
business concerns would fail. If we
neglect our work as citizens, then
we can expect our communities and
government to fail to give us the re-
suits we desire.

RLUSTRY MARCH

March, with its strong winds and
tickle weathers, might be compared
to some very clustering person, who
talks loud and acts in rough and
violent way. Yet its constantly as
cending sun is a redeeming feature.
and this too emphatic creature keeps
thawing us out with his sunshiny
light, so we half like him after all.
March is an unpopular month in
most climates. because of this bois-
ferrous character. But let MS not be
afraid of good strong March winds.
They blow out of our bodies the foul
air we have inhaled, if we have spent
the winter mostly indoors. They
drive out also those grip and other
germs that have laid many of us low.
March is the month when many of
us dismiss the doctor, and decide
we can 90 it alone. Let us not be
too afraid of its chilly yet sunny
airs.

LPNTEN REPENTANCE

The fundamental thought of the
church season of Lent would seem to
be that people should repent of their
sins. The modern world does not
like the word Sin" But nothing is
more evident than that the world
is full of offenses against God and
man. People trample ON the weak,
they abuse the bodies that God has
given them, they are dishonest and
crooked.
Man has grown no wings as yet.
Whether or not he conforms to the
Lenten custom, 1t will do him no
harm to take a little time and re-
view his life. He will find plenty
of things of which he should repent,
and he will be happier If he does.
