LET'S FACE FACTS

THE real problem of today is neither the
government debt nor the unbalanced
budget. It is not the danger of war or the
business depression, the threat of Fascism or
the menace of Communism.
1t is simply that old, tragic, and utterly
battling thing, unemployment
We have taken it for granted ever since
1929 that a return to normal business pro-
ductivity would automatically end unemploy-
ment. But it is beginning to become evident
now that this was too optimistic
Unemployment is revealing itself as con-
tinuing affair something that exists above and
beyond the depression and that will not be
dispelled by a simple return to good times in
trade.
Rodney butcher recently pointed out in a
dispatch from Washington that a return to
normal business activity today would leave us
with from six to eight million men who could
not get jobs. Our productive machinery has
simply grown efficient that it can do its
job with fewer and fewer men.
Under present conditions, there is no pros
pect that we can ever abolish unemployment.
The thing to remember, right here. is that
this is a problem which cuts across all party
lines and all social and economic theories. 1t
is a problem which would be acute under
Socialism, Communism or Fascism just as it
now is acute under capitalism
Put in Washington any kind of Admins
tration you like and you would still face this
unalterable fact-that we can grow all the food
need mine all the ore make all the steel
and machinery, run all the trains, and sell all
the goods we need with several million fewer
men than we have available to do all these
jobs
1t would be bad enough if this process of
displacement had ended. But it hasn't That
new mechanical cotton picker. for instance,
may one day contribute several hundred
thousand more names TO the list of the job
less. The pre-fabricated house idea may do
the same thing for the building trades.
Some other gadget. as yet locked in an in
ventor'S brain. is as likely as not to pop up
day after tomorrow to do the same thing to
another line.
The immediate moral to be drawn from all
this is that We shall go on with the dole for a
long time to come. If we are going to have
minimum of 100000 unemployed, in good
times ana bad. it is futile to dream of getting
the government out of the relief business
But beyond that is the fundamental
problem of finding jobs. This marvellous in
crease in productivity ought to be the greatest
blessing Of the race; at present it is an un-
mitigated curse. The nations most pressing
need is TO find the right answer to it.

Land oZicy Attacked

swept the entire country follow
ing the war, caused billions in real
estate losses and mortgage loans,
when it eliminated in a mighty
crash.
The memories are too fresh and
painful to discuss in detail and
the trouble would never have hap
pened if we had followed Georges
advice and adopted the single tax
which would make it just as costly
to. hold valuable land out Of use
as it would if put to its most pro-
ductive use. All incentive to land
gambling and monopoly would dis
appear, but its value for use would
be as great as ever.
In a word, Georges plan is to
collect the full ground rent for
expenses of government in lieu of
all taxation, for land values are
essentially public property be-
cause created by the presence and
activities of all the people AS this
fund is ample for all necessary
public services it would no long
er be necessary to confScate pri-
vate property for that purpose.

When almost everybody is suf-
fering more or less from the dis
astrOuS effect of this worst of all
depressions in history, more at
tention might be given at this
time to a discussion of the cause
and cure of these periodic indus
trial upheavals.
Our land policy is at the root of
the evil. Henry George made
this clear more than so years ago.
He prophesied that with the pass
ing of the public domain, which
was formerly a profitable outlet
for dissatisfied labor and capital,
these depressions would increase
in intensity and finally destroy our
civilization unless we abolished
racketeering, gambling and specu-
latiOn in the natural resources,
which were created for the use
and enjoyment of all mankind.
The depression, through which
we are now passing, proved that
he was right, for we came peril
ously close to the brink. The wild
orgy of land speculation that

SOURCE OF USEFUL TAXATION

THE American Institute of Architects has
Il put forward sound idea by suggesting
that system of state taxation on billboards
be set up
Such a scheme would have two advantages.
First of all, it would provide a lucrative new
source of revenue-and there isn't a state in
the Union which would not welcome such
thing. Secondly. and more important, it
would provide the state with some means of
control over one of the great public nuisances
OF the day.
There is a place for billboards. of course;
but that place is not the spot which most OF
them occupy. They spoil mile after mile Of
our country highways and render ugly the APP
proaches to our cities and towns. 1t is ut
terly absurd to say that the state has no right
to assume control over them. taxation sys-
tenn which would make possible the abatement
of this nuisance would be an excellent thing
from the standpoint of public interest.

the new chairman President Roosevelt named
is a man who has no grandiose ideas of his

In his first announcement Chairman j.
Warren Madden was commercially frank in
defining the new boards constitutional limita-

to prevent unfair collective bargaining prac-
tees are limited to interstate commerce in
dustry This means that the board must move
cautiously through those misty regions that
separate interstate and interstate activities.
But it will move on firm ground, and every
inch of progress should be permanent.
In inaugurating such important reforms as
this the Federal government must carry with
it not only the sanction OF the courts but the
sanction of public opinion. BY able, coura-
geous and careful administration, Chairman
Madden and his board can win both of these
sanctions.

the day when all of them come to this sensible
conclusion. Just as a few nations are men
acing international peace, however, so a few
hotheads either among employers or employees
can upset domestic peace in America.
