livery time the first Of January comes
II around. people have fun wish New Year
resolutions. Some have fun making them
and some have fun making fun Of the ones
other people make: in either case, there Is a
general recognition of the fact that New
Years Day is a good time to make a fresh
start in one direction or another, and the
resolutions are treated humOrously because
we have learned that flesh Is frall and that
the high resolves Of January first are apt TO
be back among Inc moth balls by the time the
month is over.
Nevertheless. the old custom OF making
such resoluto ns is a good one.
It isn't a bad thing for us to remind our
selves periodically that we are a good deal
less than perfect. and that one or two little
reforms would be in order. The reforms may
fall through. but the mere fact that we saw
they were necessary is wholesome for our ego
which tends. human nature being what 1t is,
to grow a bit inflated now and then.
But the thing really goes a good deal
farther than that.
For if our individual shortcomings show up
too clearly. when we begin a new year our
collective ones are even more obvious. We are
still too much given to asking Gains age-old
question, Am I my brothers keeper?'-
although the whole trend of modern life
which presses all of US closer and closer to-
gether. seems to be to S Yes to 1t. And
somehow our actions as a group do not show
that we have become fully aware OF the
fact yet.
We don't. after all. live for ourselves alone.
We NAV be snug and secure in our jobs ana
our hom3s-but our tax rates viii rise II there
are iobless people to be fed, our bank accounts
NAV vanish if a depression is allowed to run
too far. a far-distant crop failure may, IN
directly but surely. deprive us Of our jobs
and a ferment Of injustices in Europe may
take some of us overseas to fight and die as
it did in 1917.
In other words. we all stand or fall to-
pether in this world. If we forget to see TO II
that people less lucky than ourselves get a
decent break in life, we are pretty apt TO pay
a penaltv ourselves sooner or later.
New Years Day. when we try to block out a
Z course of action for the coming year, isn't a
bad time to remember it.

OBJECTS TO
$500 PENSION PLAN

By w. w. Cook.
I am a reader Of The Times Mes
sage Center. I see where one tax
payer says that the old people
should have 5000 a month pension.
Now, I am in favor Of giving all
disabled men past so a pension of
S25 or $50 a month.
I am no hog; that is why this man
wants 5000 a month. All he needs is
bristles TO be a hog. That is why
this country is in such a shape today
just a few people have got it all
and he wants what is left.

LOVE
BY ARCHER

Love is like a wild flower
That grows beyond the garden
wall;
It blooms not in the tended bower,
But in the rocks where weeds grow
tall
It does not need the gentle rain
Nor winds Of summers balmy days.
1t grows as well amid the pain
OF winters gusts or autumn's
haze.
Love springs from the wild root.
1t is not planted in the heart;
1t has the scent of wild fruit,
It's tints r rainbows torn apart.
Love is like a wild flower
Whose roots remain when spring
is past.
They strengthen with each passing
hour,
Each year grow deeper than the
last.

The Constitution: Birth
BY POWELL

I sessions regularly and only ga few more thar
half - actually signed the final draft. Rhode
Island did not trouble to send delegates.
1t is curious that none of the blazing radicals
Of 1774 was present. Ihonas JeHeIson wa
safely out of the way as minister to France
patrick Henry. suspicious Of the whole proceed
inc refused to attend. Thomas Paine was IN
EsIrope. Samuel Adams was not chosen a dele
gate. -
The Philadelphia assembly was made up
largely Of hard-headed usine men, rlght-
winoers Eli. who knew what they wanted and
had the brains to get it without any vague ideal
ism. More than half the delegates were either
investors or SPECTATORS in Government securl-
ties mich would rise in value under the "NeW
Pan"
I@HEY went at their work briskly. First, they
L resolved that all discussions should be secret
md that no record be kept OF the proceeongS
,evond a mere enumeration of the votes. TINS
secrecy was so important to the delegates that
they always sent an escort to dinner with Ben
amin Franklin, who was old, inclined to over
drink, and invariably talked too much.
Hamilton set the tempo of the meeting. From
the sparse records of individual delegates one
gathers that the discussion was of the BRASS
lacks variety. When Franklin suggested open
ing with prayer Hamilton brusquely remarked
that they were not in need of foreign AID"
Business was uppermost in their minds. The
modern reader finds the discussion OF the slave
trade rather shocking. Several southern dele
gates suggested that it be gradually abollSned.
Southern Carolina refused to consider this be-
cause the mortality Of slaves in the rice sWamps
was so high that continuous importation was
necessary to the states economic existence.
While there were many bitter conflicts IN the
Philadelphia Convention the delegates were III
very general agreement that the average citizen
was a stupid fellow to be viewed with suspicion.
Many long hours were spent in planning methods
Of keeping him in his place.
G%ouverneur Morris, Pennsylvania delegate,
thought the Senate should be composed OF an
aristocracy of wealth. Hamilton, in one of his
typically snObbish speeches, said:
All communities resolve themselves into the
few and the many. The first are the rich and
we'll born and the other the mass of the people
who seldom judge or determine right"
Strange talk, this, to come from a man born
out of wedlock on an obscure island Of the West
Indies and who received his education through
the generosity of friends! Modern psychology
could doubtless show that Hamilton's lifelong
obseSsion on aristocracy sprang from an harass-
ing lnferiority complex.

TIE declared for dictatorship in times of
u stress. He believed Senators should be
elected for life. He wanted property qualif1ca-
tons for voters. In a ringing declaration for
the status quo he said:
Every institution calculated to restrain the
excess of law making and to keep things in the
same state in which they happen to be at any
given period is more likely to do good than
harm"
Certain other members felt that the National
Government should have power of veto over
the state legislatures. This proposition was re-
iected. The majority of delegates knew %ratif1ca-
ton by the states would be hopeless if it were
included. 1t took the Fourteenth Amendment,
nearly a century later, to give the Federal au-
thority that lower
AS the Constitution finally came out of the
convention it Wa$ a series of compromises. There
was nothing intrinsically new in it. AS Wis
count Bryce said: 1T is an application of old
and familiar legal principles" Yet it's original
lty lay in that very application of old principles.
The delegates, many of whom had attended
the convention with self interest uppermost in
their minds, had wrought much better than
they realized. They had gone to Philadelphia
to do something" for business. They succeeded
in writing the marching orders for the new
world.
AS soon as their activities became known
they were subjects to the most virulent attack.
Il look on that paper as the most fatal plan
that could possibly be conceived to enslave a
free people," Illuminated Patrick Henry.
Either a monarchy or an aristocracy will be
generated by it." declared the youthful Edmund
Randolph, Governor of Virginia.
There is no alternative between the adop-
ton of it and anarchy" said Washington in
defense.
Franklin merely re1ff1rmed his faith in Di-
vine Guidance in the whole matter.

surance company he passed seeking
the one from whom he could obtain
the most.
The bars OF his reputed conServa-
tism were let down; he was out to
borrow the utmost dollar and in
so doing he was selling his land, but
he did not know it then.
Government Started System
Let it be recorded here that the
demand was not answered until the
Federal government under the Will
son administration created the Fed
eral Land Bank system. Aside from
the fact that its sponsors said it
was being organized to lend to farm
ers in outlying districts where
money always had been scarce and
interest rates high because of the
submarginal nature of the lands,
the land banks Immediately set up
elaborate organizations to promote
loans everywhere.
I know that no farmer raising
corn and hogs on a 20-year basis
can pay any one SIS or Sc an acre
interest, $3.50 an acre taxes and
keep the farm in repair, pay himself
a living wage and then be assessed
for all the modern doo-dads that
unqueStionably have become impor-
tant in modern eyeSight. But he
thought so at the time and raised
the devil when these 500 an acre
loans we're not forthcoming sooner
1 will have to ask you to look back
into the records to discover who
asked for the loans of 500 an acre
first. Was this money forced upon
the farmer by the lenders or were
the Federal Land Banks set up to
meet a demand of the farmer. Did
the farmer fall into the age-old
trap of the breast-thumping politi-
cal promoter and get what the ma
jOrity of them never even thought
of or was this new system mamma
from Heaven to meet a long-needed
and permanent situation that could
be handled in no other way?
Land Banks Brought Change
I shall again have to make a
statement and base its truth on OBJ
served phenomena. The old lenders
did not increase their loan values
an acre until after the land banks
were organized, even then they re
luctantly went into the farm loan
fields with more money.
I have heard their councils and
the experience of years of lending
told them to be conservative. They
eventually met the competition set
up for them by their government
and made these new loans primarily
to maintain that proportionate
share of their investments in real
estate mortgages. The experiences
of a lifetime of business can not
be thrust aside over night.
I am sure that a large percentage
of the old line investors would
rather have had their mortgages re-
tired than to go into competition
with the government to keep them.
Such a plan would have taken the
bulk of their real estate investments
out of their portfolios
