pumps"
This is the order going out to fed
eral money spenders as the water
logged industrial machine sinks lower
and lower in the new depression sea.
Business has not staged the snap
back that was promised if Congress
went home and experiments ended"
On the contrary, the business indexes
have shown greater and greater losses
until now it is frankly admitted that
the country is in for a bad winter. The
fact that world recovery has collapsed
adds to the seriousness of the situation,
Of course. The Annalist index shows
that more than half of the total in
crease from the depression low has
been lost in the u. S., for example.
The index is at 724 as against 1913 a
year ago. And it's still slipping.
There is just n answer, so far as
the Roosevelt administration is con-
cerned-spend federal money. There
Is lO lllltllllOl Vi dllOWllS dllOliiCl
Hoover situation where the country
drifts. Roosevelt will keep that smile
and the treasury doors open just as
long as there are dollars to spend.
And there still remains a lot Of pa
per on which money can be printed.
Relief to the unemployed this win
ter will be equal to that of last winter,
it is guessed unofficially, although
much of the expenditure will go to
those actually employed in federal
factories producing relief goods. Hun
dreds of millions will be poured into
the drouth area. The PWA payroll
is close to 40 millions a week. There
has never been such an %outpouring Of
federal money in peacetime. And yet
there is no evidence that enough is be-
ing poured out to save the tottering
industrial machine.
There are two ways to meet those
Montana labor news., 1934-09-20

costs and the administration will prob
ably use both: l. High taxes, beyond
all previous experience. 2. Initiation.
The administration is evolving a
new tax system which will be kept
secret until after the fall elections, but
is likely to be a su%gar-coated sales tax,
The idea is that the plutocrats will
stand for the administrations plan of
producing goods for the unemployed if
taxes are not increased on their big
incomes, but might stir up trouble if
they have to kick in any heavier than
at present. The poor will pay any tax
with little protest, it is believed. The
volume of incoming taxes is expected
to reach a new record.
Despite all denials, the new silver
move is seen as part of a program to
make billions of profits" by changing
the value Of gold and silver. With the
government holding all of both metals
in the country, an order from the pres
ident that gold is $40 an ounce instead
of the $40 of a few months ago or the
present pOJ lidhCo d PUN VI ~ al
ounce on all gold held. OF course the
gold is the same amount and it is just
a bookkeeping transaction, The wise
ones know that and they guide them
selves accordingly. To them it near
higher prices. Wholesale commodity
prices have already reached the high
est level since March, 1881. But for
most folks, any figure the government
puts on gold is right-when prices go
up they blame the grocer.
Just as in any sinking boat, the is
sue depends on the capacity of the
pumps. So far, not enough federal
money has been pumped into purchas-
ing power to bring recovery. Yet the
amount spent increases to vast figures,
continues to grow, destroys any really
balanced budget, puts the federal debt
level above wartime figures, creates
panic among the Old Guard.
