I
HAS SUGGESTION FOR
MR.. ROOSEVELT

BY H. L. $.
The President asked America S
business leaders for suggestions as
to how to increase wages. Business
regards labor as commodity, with
the greatest flexibility in the matter
of price control. Controlled COM
modities vary little in price. as they
become a part of production in in
duStry, SO employers find the flex-
ible point at the labor counter.
The new policy is to attempt price
control over those commodities that
have heretofore been controlled by
supply and demand, without regard
to producers ability to pay produc-
ton costs.
One instance is farm products
and needs. During the depression
years the price of farm machinery
has varied but little from prede-
preston years, but the quantity Of
production has varied greatly, fall
ing off immensely as farm income
declined.
Control of production in farm
machinery is concentrated, while
farm production is subject to the
weather and millions of individual
producers without regard to the
buyers ability to pay.
Control of production, while there
is an unsatisf1ed want, regardless
of the price, is against public in
terest, and results in continuous
lower standards of living, even
though a temporary price gain is
obtained.
Every human want must be salts
| fed before curtailment of produc-
ton in any line is sound, from the
social welfare angle, Only those
commodities that are scarce by rea-
son Of a deficiency in production
facilities should be controlled by the
law Of supply and demand as tc
price, to encourage increased pro-
duction. Where adequate facilities
| for production exist, a planned pro-
gram of production that will meet
the highest consumption standard
should be initiated
We commit grave social crime il
we permit sabotage in any line Of
| production in which every human
need has not been met. Competition

THINKS KILLING DOG
AN INHUMAN ACT
Ry Elsie Perkins

Hy Elsie Perkins
On the morning of Oct. 81, while
going downtown, l witnessed a rath-
er horrible sight A car went around
the bus I was on and struck a dog
that was crossing the street. The
driver of that car could not have
helped seeing the dog, but he did
not slow down in the least. He did
not even stop after he hit the dog.
Are people in such hurry that
they can run over dog and leave
it writhing and crying in helpless
pain?. They shouldn't be.
Any person who has no more feel
ing than to leave a dog like that
would probably do the same thing to
a human. Can't we do something
about them?

One revels in the scenes of Switzer-

Where solid mountain roads are

And charming wales are beautiful

A dreamland where eternal SHOWS

Fair Interlaken is its beauty place,
For here the Jungfrau, queen of
Alpine heights,
Reveals the sparkling snowflakes on
her face
And shows her feet encased in ice
bound nights.
And Lake Lucerne, her dazzling dia-

Lies sleeping and rejecting cha

When we hear Commander
Murphy of the American Legion
talk about Americansm, without
explaining what it is, we wonder
just what he means.
Does he mean a nation where
we have economic security, peace
and plenty for every citizen, or a
banker controlled nation in which
about 3 per cent of the popula-
ton get the cream of the wealth
and the actual producers get
few crumbs?
Do these self-appointed Con
stitution savers" know that rad
