IhaC is the CnleI Topic OF cOnJ
It is a mixed picture.
In one corner, the political
spokesman are loudly and proudly
acclaiming the liberal reforms of
the New Deal. In the other cor
ner the President and members of
his official household are just as
industriously engaged in "reassur-
ing" business.
That progress is being made in
both arenas is unqueStionable.
Despite latest Literary Digest
polls, every indication points to a
sweeping Roosevelt victory in the
congressional voting. The New
Deal not only is likely to capture
a wo-thirds majority in the sem
ate, but hold its lines practically
intact in the house.
The secret reassurances to bust
ness circles seem to be getting
across. In the last few weeks
commentators voicing business
views have outdone themselves in
announcing that reformist days of
the administration are over, and
that henceforth recovery meas
ureS alone will be its aim.
IRON Wall Street also have
Il poured forth literal flood of
inside" tips as follows:
That the President is against
central bank.
That after elections he will
move to end strikes.
That the administration is pre-
pairing to cut down federal unem-
ployment relief expenditures.
That the brain trusters and lib
erals are to be weeded out, or
relegated to the background.
The facts, however, are almost
the opposite. Roosevelt is not 60
ing to move drastically in either
direction. In a recent conference
with some so-called friends, he is
reported to have said
Wait till elections are over.
We're not going to bulge an inch
from our present policy"
CENATOR BRONSON CUT
- TING Of New Mexico is now
chief forgotten man of the New
Deal.
Two years ago, Cutting deserted
the Republican party for Roose-
welt, jeopardized his carefully
built up Republican machine,
made a speech which was one of
the highlights of the campaign.
Afterward Roosevelt offered
him the post Of interior secretary,
expressed warmest thanks and af-
lection, looked upon Cutting not
merely as a political ally but as
an old family friend.
But nov it is different.
Cutting is up for reelection. He
is having a hard fight. Whereas
Roosevelt has covertly aided Bob
La Follette-another Republican
bolter-he has not lifted a finger
for Cutting. In fact, Jim Farley
has been working against him.
The exact reason remains a
mystery.

About Is per cent of the NRA
codes fix limit to the number of
hours the machines in any plant
may work. Another per cent
limit installation of new machin-
cry.
The result has been helpful to
plants where production costs a
unit of goods are high. 1t has
enabled such plants to continue
operating and employing workers.
1t has tended to keep prices up.
These were the ends sought both
by the industries which asked for
production controls and by NRA
when it granted them.
But it is argued now that the
limitation on building new COM
peting plants or enlarging the
capacity of plants already in OPP
Grafton has been one of the rea-
sons why the machinery industry
and similar capital groups have
continued to be PROSTATE during
the last year.
1t is argued by the same school
of thought that the Presidents
goal of higher prices only can be
attained by first bringing about
lower prices and increased con-
sumption.
THIS is the way the theory is
Il supposed to work:
If all restraints on production
are removed, mass production
plants operating at capacity will
be able to sell goods for less than
at present. Wage earners will be
able to buy more goods. The in
creased demand will bring about
increased employment, and this
in turn will bring prices up to a
healthy level.
The second school of thought
asks what will become of ineffl-
Gent industrial plants while this
process is going on. 1t questions
whether these plants, unable to
compete, will not close and throw
men out of work so fast as mass
production plants take on men.
If this takes place the increased
purchasing power on which the
theory is based will not be avail
able.
The durable goods industries
committee has been on record for
some time in favor of the free
flow Of private capital into private
business. It's chairman, George
H. Huston, believes that pros
perity and a rising standard OF
living can not exist in the face
of restriction of production and
diminishing output of goods and
services"

ALASKA STEAMSHIP LINE
ANNOUNCES NEW SCHEDULE

According to the new spring and
summer passenger schedule just re-
leased by the Alaska Steamship
Company, Southeastern Alaska will
benefit by regular weekly north
bound and southbound service pro-
vided by that company.
Under the new schedule, al
southwestern as well as Southeast
ern route steamers are calling at
Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg,
Juneau, Haines (Chilkoot Barracks)
and Skagway. This seven day
schedule will be continued UP to
and including the southbound sail
ing of the Victoria from Skagway
on April g. With the southbound de-
parture of the Northwestern from
Skagway ON April Is, regular
weekly service will be afforded
5kagway and Haines (Chilkoot Bar
lacks). At that time regular weekly
service of the Southeastern steamers
will be resumed, but the Southwest
ern route vessels will continue to
serve all the above mentioned
ports except Haines and Skagway.
This will result in semiweekly
north and southbound sailings from
Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg
and Juneau throughout the balance
of the season.
The company has also announced
that its ships will hereafter be
scheduled to dock during their calls
at Petersburg, thus eliminating the
necessity of launch service at that
point.
While being served by several
sailings until the resumption of the
regular Southeastern schedule, Sitka
will thereafter be afforded weekly
service throughout the summer
season.

TOWARD STABILITY

THE fact that the birth rate in the United
u States steady is declining may be an
encouraging sign, instead of the reverse, &C.
cording to DR.. w. S. Thompson, director of
the Scripps foundation for research in popu-
lation.
A population which is not increasing rap
idly, as American population has been in
creasing ever since the republic was founded
should develop a more stable society than
has been possible lin the past, predicts Dr.
Thompson.
Fewer people will be moving into the large
cities. There will be less of the waSteful
mushroom" development of the kind that
brings alternating booms and slumps. People
will not shift from place to place and from
job to job so much. Life will move along
more evenly and with fewer disturbances.
Usually a declining birth rate is looked
upon as ominous. 1t is noteworthy that this
expert on the subject takes more hopeful
view.

THE SPOILS RACKET

~ ME merit system in civil service is in no
- danger at my hands; but on the con-
trary hope that it will be extended and i'm
proved during my term as President" said Mr..
Roosevelt last August. Feeling as he does, the
President should not allow to pass unnoticed
the National Civil Service Reform Leagues re-
port on what has happened to the merit sys-
TEN in the first year of the new deal
The league indicts the postoffice depart
ment as vast political machine" condemns
the sham" civil service examination for post
masters and says: Try as it WILL the commits
sion Civil service) can never make such sys-
tenn represent the merit principle"
Politics. the league finds has been even
worse in the postoffice department under Mr..
Farleys regime than in the preceding Repub-
lican administration. Most Americans would
not have believed that could be possible. Most
Americans, incidentally, have long known that
three-fourths of the postmasterships could be
abolished without impairing the efficiency of
the postal Service)
Spread of the spoils terror in other de-
partments, the league reports, has caused
. "loss of the security once believed to be
perqusite of public employment and left the
morale of rank and file at low ebb."
The league was perhaps unjust in its criti-
cism of the stating of the new recovery agen-
cies without recourse to the civil service These
agencies had to be set up with speed at which
the civil service machinery could not function.
But that is no reason why those agencies
should not now be overhauled by the civil
service.
The league was dead right in saying: "The
growing completely Of government leads us,
willingly or unwillingly, toward bureaucracy.
eff We must have bureaucracy, we should
see to it that it is based solely on capacity and
efficiency rather than that it be extravagant,
laundering machinery, motvated by the waste,
favoritism, and inef1ciency of the spoils sys-
tenn"
Mr.. Roosevelt once wrote a letter to the
league in which he said
Il should like to see one of the great parties
come forward with q challenge to the other
party offering to enter into compact to up
hold and maintain the civil service
Mr.. Roosevelt is now in the best possible
position to carry out his own splendid sugges-
tion.
