CARNEGIE, DISTRIBUTOR

A NDREW CARNEGIE, whose birth century ago

Scotland and his adopted America, was not a mere
giver but profoundly wise distributor of millions.
Before he was IS the old ironmaster had plowed
back into America 435 million of the dollars he
picked up so easily here. He kept only 10 mil
lions which proved ample. His benefactlons IN
libraries and in health, scientific and peace founda-
tons "grubstaked regiment of prospectors on the
frontiers of learning" and understanding. They will
bear fruit in more civilized humanity for genera
tons to come.
Had Canege's example been followed by other
mutimllionaires it might not have been necessary
for the government now to take for sowing
the national wealth more widely.
In country where multimillionaires have ceased
to be novelty the Carnegies Rockefellers and Hark-
nesses are all too rare Too many of the very rich
took all their savings and reinvested them in their
own plants, in an effort to make money for
want of any idea of what to do with their excess.
That is why most prosperous years found the
industrial plant so overbuilt that one-ifth of it
loafing, and the masses so poor that they couldn't
buy what it cid turn out.

pulses through his books like the beat Of a mighty

freed from European tradition and New England

For Tom and Huck were strange fiction types

credible to that they barred for years from

THANKSGIVING

issued Thanksgiving proclamation The Pilgrims

thankful in much the same way. The winter Of
their worst depression has strewn the country with
wreckage, but better times are here. We too like
the Pilgrims, may fire cannon salvo, march to

COUGHLIN PRAISED FOR
FIRM ATTITUDE

BY Hiram Lackey
Until the Scripps- Howard press
is willing to rise to the level OF
clear, unselfish thinking, it scarcely
becomes it to speak to Father
Coughlin about fairness.
The spirit Of Father Coughlin is
the logical result of the black in
justice of other leaders who favor
the forces of greed. For example,
consider the attitude of many other
ministers: I'VE want listeners who
are thoughtful (but not too
thoughtful, learned (but not too
learned, serious (but not too Seri-
ous). who are not ashamed of their
feeling, that, the situation being as
it is, it would be nice if something
were done about it,"
Jesus had a name for that atti-
tude.
1 do not declare that Father
Coughlin is sponsoring anything
strong enough to break the strangle-
hold of the legalized thieves of in
dustry and finance. The trouble
seems to be that the majority of our
leaders are afraid to advocate any
thing sufficiently drastic to ruin the
other mans racket. There is a
reason for their fear.
I hope that American democracy
and religion will not be SO complete
ly identified with the sins of CAPT.
talism, but that justice and wisdom
can spare the best in Calvanistic
idealisn from selfishness ano avar-
ice. Now is the time to talk of
mercy, not then.

YOU'RE RIGHT, SIR. TODAY
NEEDS NIPPY WEATHER
By Herman Schilling

By Herman Schilling
Well, why not a column about the
weather? Especially now that so
many are trekking to Miami to get
away from the weather and enjoy
life?
They are entirely unaware that
geography hasn't a thing to do with
contentment. 1t is simply burst
of pleasure for the time being or
chance to brag about it, like be-
longing to riding club or being
pitcher on polo team; or is it a
chukker?
We CHANGED in on an old resi-
denter near our weed patch. The
wind was bowling and the rain
singing cold. Inside was a sea of
bright spotless linoleum and a still
brighter stove in the middle of the
room.
Our friend was draped in an old
low rocking chair reading. We re-
marked about the weather and he
said, Il never notice no weather. If
/ can't go out I just catch up with
my reading" How about Florida 2"
said we. "Shucks," said he, Il was
there once, but you know what l
missed the most? Well, you can t
enjoy the smell of roasting turkey
or the bang of mince pie unless
she's real nippy outside"
Carrying on with the weather:
Biologists tell us that the north
pole is shifting south at the rate
of six inches year and you know
at that rate we will slip down to
where Miami is now, in about a mil
lion years. So you see, everything
comes to him that waits.

OTHER OPINION
SOLDIERS WILL BE BOYS
IGary Post Tribunel

Any one who has ever read Of
military campaigns and ways of SOL
diers will find something homely
and familiar in the news that the
Italian soldiers in Ethiopia have
christened their most advanced hos
pital post Mae West"
The name of the native town that
houses this post, it seems, is Mae
Uecc, which is also spelled Mai Wesc
and is, apparently, pronounced in a
way vaguely similar to the way the
movie stars name is pronounced. So,
to the Italian privates, it is Mae
West, and that's that.
And this seems to prove that SOL
dierS are soldiers, wherever you find
them. Remember how the British
Tommies turned Ypres into Wipers
and Ploegsteert into Plug Street, in
the World War?

But Secretary of Agriculture Wallace says efforts

The realistic solution to my mind is the obvious

THE EXPERTS DISAGREE

CHALL the government abandon all thought of
~ controlling production, hours and wages, and
adopt leaone policy? Or shall it follow the rocky
New Deal path of AAA and MIRA in further attempts
to maintain living standards?
This issue posed accidentally in controversy
between Brookings Institution economists and their
critics, is the subject of current battle of state
ments between two warning groups-the National
Association of Manufacturers and the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
The N. A. M. issued a committee report opposing
all production restrictions and warning against any
Federal attempts to regulate hours and wages of
workers.

clared there had been Is per cent rise since 1929

WHY. NOT BONUS FOR
PRIVATE EMPLOYERS?

BY S. II. l..
If we are to have prosperity under
the capitalistic system it will be
necessary for private industry to
find jobs for all those now on pub
lie relief work. Restoration of the
construction industry to a normal
level would reduce the number of
unemployed to about five million. Ex-
orbitant rates of interest for mort
gage loans are responsible for the
stagnant condition in construction.
If private lenders do not meet the
situation with loans below 5 per cent
interest, the government will be
compelled to step in to supply the
necessary low cost construction
credit.
Great Britain's gigantic re-
housing program is primarily re-
sponsible for the so-called recovery

construction of workers homes.
If private industry intends to sur
vive it must display intelligent self
interest to meet public need. Fail
ure to meet public need is more
dangerous to the continuance of
private industry than all the propa-
ganda of international communism
The New Deal has bonused the
American farmers with processing
tax If the New Dealers want
private industry to take over the
load of re-employing those on re-
lief work, it would be simple mat
ter to get private employers to add
additional employees to existing pay
rolls, if the government offered to
bonus" private employers to the
extent of paying 20 per cent of the
wage for every employee taken off
relief work for period of six
months, average pay rolls to be the
base for starting bonus payments
None could afford not to hire mora
men if competitors took advantage
of the bonus. 1t is better and cheap
er than relief also.
