hard. u was difficult to achieve the
cleaning effect that was his goal.

miami Daily News

Paul Mallon's backstage observations
of the show presented by the house on
the bonus bill-he tells about it in News
Behind the News today-is far from a
flattering picture of congressman in gen.
eral. He sees the whole play as political
trickery-voting now to satisfy pro-bonus
constituents and ,placating the others later
with failure to override a veto, if it goes
this far. A similar farce was enacted
once before on the same issue and many,
many times in handling other tOuchy ques-
tions. By clever manipulation of the
record, the legislator hopes to retain
friends in both camps, while actually serv-
ing neither. It's "just fun" the observer
of the Washington scene explains, but to
veterans who discover they have been
"kidded" it may not seem nearly funny
enough.
1t is only fair to Florida congressman
to point out that four of them did not in.
dulge in the political horseplay Mr. Mallon
describes. These were Congressman Will
cox, Sears, Peterson and Caldwell. They
voted straightforwardly against the meas

now and another later, with no benefit to
veterans. Only Representative Green of
the Florida delegation in the house can be
suspected of a part in the trickery. He
voted for the bonus and may have been
sincere We note, however, that he alone
of the Floridians was not recorded as vot-
ing yesterday when the house passed the
$99,0O0,O00 compromise which would re-
store 10000 presumptive war disability to
pension rolls at Is per cent. of the rate paid
before the economy act. WILCOX Sears,
Peterson and Caldwell favored this aid for
veterans. Green's position1 remains. in
doubt. ffis future course must ten the
story.
So long as voters may be fooled by
ives and no" tricks-'now you see it, now
YOU don't" parlor magic in the parliaments
of the nation-we may expect this type of
performance from political opportunists.
Thanks to the kind of reporting Mr.. Mallon
is doing. their act is drawing less applause
and not infrequent boos from an increas-
ingly enlightened reading public.

CAPITAL is TIMID

Why is recovery from the economic
depression so slow? Because capital is
afraid. Many millions of dollars now lie
inactive in banks because the owners of
this money are possessed with fear.
Persons who invested readily in stocks.
bonds real estate and varied business en-
terprises during the prosperous times now
hold back and await developments And so
long as they hold back through fear, so
long will resumption of normal industrial
business activity be retarded
Ii is inevitable that general pros
perity will come back in time. but the
timidity of capital may delay a return of
normal conditions. And it seems that lit
tie can be done to overcome that timidity.

POLITICAL ISSUE

Among the many newspapers which
have pointed out the absurdity of the
power trust" agitation by Senator Norris
and others of socialistic leanings is the
Atlantic City Union, which in an editorial
sized up the situation most concisely.
After quoting an authoritative state
ment to the effect that the electric bill of
household users of electricity in the United
States averages only eight and half cents
a day-of which half of the customers pay
five cents and the other half pay II cents
a day on an average-the Union says:
I'm other words, ten million Amer
leans receive all the advantages of electric
power for the price of a daily package of
chewing gum, and ten million more receive
it for less than the cost of a package of
ordinary cigarettes.
"For this reason, the battle over power
might be said to be an absurdity. The coun-
try is now perplexed by abundant import
ant problems-the tariff, foreign trade,
unemployment, overproduction, the rising
cost of government, and the like. Any one
of these problems is of vital interest to all
citizens. They must be solved, or social
and economic chaos will result"
Compared with the really important
problems which the Union mentions, the
question of electric rates must appeal to
thoughtful citizens as being an insignif-
icant, if not entirely fictitious issue raised
for political purposes only.
