boast of their emotional ad-

What they want and what
they are desperately trying to
find is a substitute for love.
Something that won't require
any self-sacrifice or involve any
responsibility. Something not
so serious or important. Some
thing at which they can play,
ami with which they can kid

Love isn't sappy weakness
or an easy game. 1t requires
courage to love. And more
courage to deliberately hitch
your life up with another per-

lures, and in three others party
representation is equal in either
the house or the senate.
Nor does Democratic control
end with the legislatures.
Thirtyeight of the forty eight
State governors belong to the
same party. And 43 of the 48
State legislatures are now in
session.
TWO PROCEDURES
This extraordinary condition
of affairs leads Henry w. Toll,
executive director of the Ameri-
can legislators Association, to
suggest the possibility of speedy
amendment of the Constitution
through the initiative of the
States instead of through Con-
greSS.
In the past the Constitution
always has been amended on the
initiative of Congress. This is
only one of two methods of
amendments for which the Con-
stitution provides. The method
hitherto unused is on this wise:
When twO-thirds of the States
by legislative action request,
Congress shall call a convention
for proposing amendments to
the Constitution. Once in SeS-
sion, such a convention would
not be limited to the proposed
amendments which prompted
the States to start the amend
ing process.
Once in session the cOnven.
tiOn could rewrite the entire
Constitution if its members
saw fit to do so. But to be
adopted each amendment or
the revised Constitution would
require the affirmative vote of
three fOurths Of the legislative
conventions.
It would hardly seem prob
able that the United States
should be called on at this
time to bear another burden
in the form of an attempt
either by the would-be COM
munists or the Would-be
FasciSts to junk the Consti-
tion of the United States
The Washington times., 1935-02-23

through the initiative Of the
States.
But the attempt may be
made now or at a later period
of the Nations life. When, as
and if it is made, wise men
will turn to the Farewell Ad-
dress to find out what guild
ance the Father of His Country
bequethed to his people in this
regard. And they will not
turn in vain, for here is what
Washington says:
Towards the preservation
of your government, and the
permanency of your happy
state, it is requisite, not only
that you steadily discounte-
nance irregular OppOsitiOns to
its acknowledged authority, but
also that you resist with care
the spirit Of innovation upon
its principles, however SpeciOuS
the pretexts. One method Of
assault may be to effect in the
forms of the Constitution, al
teratiOns, which will impair the
energy of the system, and thus
to undermine what cannot be
directly OverthrOwn. In all the
changes to which you may be
invited, remember that time
and habit are at least as nee
essary to fix the character Of
governments as of other hu-
man institutions; that expe-
rience is the surest standard
by which to test the real tend
ency of the existing cOnstitu-
tion of a country; that facility
in changes, upon the credit Of
mere hypothesis and opinion,
exposes to perpetual change,
from the, endless variety of n.y.
pOthesiS and opinion; and re-
member especially that, for
the efficient management Of
your common interests, in a
country so extensive as ours,
a government of as much vigOr
as is consistent with the per-
feet security of liberty is in
diSpensable.
WORTH READING
Liberty will find in such a
government, with powers prop
erIy distributed and adjusted,
its SureSt guardian"
Among politicians in a pub
licity-seeking age, George Wash
ington may be the Forgotten
American, the Farewell Address
may be no longer considered
worth reading. But among the
plain people of this and other
lands this will never be because
they see embodied in him the
noblest possibilities of hu-
manity."

the story might have been diff
ferent.
Of intense interest is the vote
to Robert c. Fechner, director
of the Civilian Conservation
Corps.
The consensus is that 1Dhen
President RooSeUelt recommends
the increase he might WeH Gd.
UiSe that the additional $4,000
men for the Army be taken
from the ranks of the CCC.
It is pointed out that men
selected from the Conservation
Corps would be hardened, in
excellent physical condition
and would be ready to start
intensive Army training imme-
diately after recruiting.
Also, it would permit the
CCC to take from its ranks
men who had performed good
service and pave the way for
almost $4,000 more unemployed
youths to enlist in the corps.
BY this method, they say,
the Army would not be forced
to start out with the usual
'raw recruits" but would Sc
cure men with a Semblance
of training and discipline.

Eliminate the Receivers
The Mel IeOd Bill

Representative Clarence Mcleod of Michigan renewing
efforts behalf Of depostos of closed banks and his relief
proposals deserve the support Of his colleagues at the Capitol
Having obtained enactment Of law last year under which
the Reconstruction Finance Corporation authorized to
purchase the assets of closed banks Mr. Mcleod this year
out eliminate the recevershps which the closed
institutions.
All of these recevershps fall into classification of
racket which frequently applied to them but many of
them are little better than that.
The Treasury Department frequently directs attention to the
small percentage Of the assets of the closed banks which the
easily.
But the point is that the dpoor the VICTIMS of the bad
banking and bad inspection which led to the bank failures
have to pay the bill And they simply aren't in position
financially to afford it.
Under the Mcleod bill the of the receivershps would be
reduced to virtually nothing The Reconstruction Finance
Corporation would take all the receverhps and would
administer the affairs of the closed institutions
With agency charged with the task of dsposng of the
assets of the closed banks and with the duty protecting the
depositos there would not only be gratifying cut in the bill
which the dposors paying but there would be
opportunity for orderly and busnessike adminsra
ton of the banks affairs
The Reconstruction Finance Corporation under the Mcleod
BILL would be 10 years which to dispose Of the assets
thus eliminating the fear that there may any time be
wholesale dumping of assets the markets of the country
In the meantime the corporation would have the power to
lend its money these assets in order speed up pay
ments to the depostors.
The Mcleod bill contains much to commend it. not only to
the vctmzed deposto also who believe that

Brutes. lacking salt,
Do incredible things

So do humans.
All this mad striving,
This hysterical grabbing
For something new,
Something thrilling,
Is our natural hunger
For danger
Asserting itself.
But it doesn't do
Any good
For we won't accept
Real danger.
We just take
Synthetic risks,
And synthetic risks
Are as useless
AS synthetic salt.
You need danger
You'll go to pot
If you don't get it.
You need uncertainty,
And discomfort,
Hard beds,
Rough roads,
Changes, challenges,
Criticism, competition
Anything that's hard to take
Hard for the body
Or the spirit,
Anything that menaceS
Your security
Or complacency-
Anything that raises Cain
With your coWardice,
And laziness,
And self-indulgence,
And conceit.
But you don't like
Things like that?
They make you
Mad and unhappy?
All right,
Go along and
Be a softy if you want!
It's nothing to me.

You can't play safe
And still
Keep in circulation.

You've got to face danger
You've got to have SALT.
