curity plan would have built UP reserve fund
Of 10 less than $4,000 100000.
This, to begin with. would provide fund
with which the government could buy its own
securities, thereby paying interest to itself and
mixing up the ordinary debtor-creditor idea in
a way TO make man dizzy
IN addition, the surplus could be used for
investment in other types Of securities, these
securities to be sold when the money was
needed.
But at this point a new complication arises.
David Cushman Coyle points out in an
article in the March issue Of Scribners maya
zine. that to handle any big security fund in
this way will be TO accentuate the swings of
the business cycle which security fund is sup
posed TO guard against
One great cause Of depression, Mr. Coyle
remarks. is over-investment during boom pc
RODS. If the governments security fund is to
be put into securities. this tendency will be
tremendously accelerated.
Nor is that all. When the crash comes,
things are made worse, because security hold
ers hasten TO unload for what they can get.
1t would be right at such moments that the
government needing cash money for its secur-
ity payments. would be obliged to sell the Sc
curities it had bought.
Thus. says Mr.. Coyle the fund would be a
means Of aggreyating the instability of busi-
ness with one hand, while preparing to relieve
the casualties with the other
II is Mr.. Coyle's idea that such a fund
should be simply hoarded-kent in the sock
so to speak, drawing no interest, invested in
nothing.
This may seem to defy all principles of
sound finance; yet money. and the way it
works in human society, are mysterious and
sometimes illogical things.
If we are to get away from these disastrous
swings of the business cycle, we may have to
follow some such seemingly unsound course as
Mr. Coyie has outlined.

Roosevelt plans to rehabilitate the
Forgotten Man; Congress abdicated
it's sacred right to make laws.
Merrily the New Deal scattered
its doles and its jobs at what I
would call starvation wages and
then some one thought Of the Su-
preme Court; suddenly you find
that these nine men really and
truly rule the nation. We find they
are more powerful than all the rul-
ers of Europe and they rule without
assuming any of the responsibilities
of kings, dictatorS and presidents.
You can not reach the Supreme
Court by Jour ballot, which is the
sole political weapon now available
for your use. These men are paid
$4,000 year with an extra $500
for the Chief Justice. Just notice
the difference in their wages and
yours.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Hoover was Inceremoniously booted
off the stage along with all that
Coolidge, Harding and Taft stood
for, we find that Hoover and his
Republican pals have seven votes on
the Supreme Court as against two
for Roosevelt, which came through
the appointments of Wilson! The
dead hands of Taft, Harding and
Coolidge and the palsied hand of
Hoover still rule the nation. 1t is
we'll to keep this in mind.

HOW STUDENTS FEEL
CROSS-SECTION of opinion on

A CROSS-SECTION OF. opinion on the is
n sues of war and peace has been obtained
from American college and university cam
puses by the Literary Digest-whose editors ap-
parently are not happy unless they are polling
somebody about something - and the results
are interesting.
OF the 1126O7 students polled, 80 per cent
favored government control of munitions man
ufacture; sos per cent opposed American en-
trance in the League of Nations; two-thirds
expressed belief that America can stay out of
the next great war; and SO per cent said they
would willingly defend the country in case of
invasion.
1t would be interestiry to know how closely
this reflects the sent'rle0t of the country as
whole. Ofhand on I'D glt suggest that it is
not very far from it,
It's fair bet that the average citizen dis
trusts the munition makers and the league,
feels that his country ought to keep out of
the next war, and is ready to do his bit if
any one else starts anything.

NEPOTISM

THE Seventy-fourth Congress first monthly
= ray roll lists some 40 clerks or secretaries
whose family names are identical with those
Of House members. 1t will not require a Sher-
lock Holmes to deduce that the congressman
are taking care of their relatives.
NepotiSm is an Old Roman custom which
has been practiced long enough in Washington
to become venerable tradition. In prosperous
times it violates good taste and good public
practice. In hard times it is flagrantly unfair
10 those who need jobs more than the Con-
CHEESEMAN'S relatives.
Every session sees agitation to stop the
practice, but it continues. Apparently the
instinct of man to look out for his sisters and
his cousins and his aunts is too deep to be
uprooted
An appropriate question is: Are they earn
ing their salaries?
Some of these relatives work hard. Others
do not. Cases have been reported where a
House member has drawn pay for children at
tending school in Washington. Such practices
are illegal as we'll as reprehensible.
House Democrats who are demanding that
the executive branch provide jobs for their
friends would do we'll TO look to their own
patronage practices before they demand the
discharge of able and useful Republicans.

Guild for the outstanding painting of the year;
and thereby seems to hang little human

places
For the concluding paragraph of the an

that his wife has taken in washing for the
last eight years so that her husband could
paint.
In allocating the credit for this mans
artistic success, then. it is pretty obvious that
a goodly share ought to go to his wife. And
that is quite frequently the case with the wife

She never gets any particular acclaim for
her husbands achievements; but in many,
many cases she makes his success possible by
so tightening his ordinary cares and RESPONSE

It would give lne Hole 90 days TO d

BEAUTIFUL PARKS DO
NOT AID NEEDY

By Mrs. Anna Smith
In looking over Clarence Buffers
article, I must give my opinion on
the beautiful parks and drives. II
we had more homes with decent sur
roundings, places for children to
play. substantial food for them to
eat, decent clothes for them to wear,
we would be doing far better than
fixing more amusement places for
the weu-to-do who can afford some
one to do the dirty work while they
have good times.
I am not against beautiful places,
but I do think that while there is
so much suffering humanity, these
places can wait.
I say, give the children chance
so they can look person in the eye
without shame. beg you remem-
Der the married women have to
work, or else. I am a widow. How

that and enjoy life? I am not send

sense.

SOCIALISM WILL GIVE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORK
BY r. Springer

BY R. Springer
I agree with B. B. M. of Mobiles
vile that we are ready for new
age, but his theory will not work
because it still leaves the root of
evil-capitaliSm-with us.
To abolish capitalism with its
misery and starvation, we must have
complete modern Socialism.
The following was copied from
the American Yearbook, Cyclic
pedia and Atlas:
mo word has been more abused
and misunderstood than the word
Socialist. The Socialist is not an
anarchist; the two are opposed
in theory and practice. The Social
ist does not propose to destroy the
family, abolish religion or divide up
property. nor does he seek to carry
out his ideas by riot and bloodShed.
In single phrase, Socialism means
public ownership of the means of
production and working class con-
troll Of the government, a chance to
work for all who will, and to all
workers the full value of their prod
uct."
A vote for the two old parties is
vote for the continuation of the
present asinine attempts to restore
prosperity. A vote for Socialism is
a vote for a chance to work for all
who will and can, help for the aged
and helpless, every man the fruits
of his labor and hell for those who
won't work.

if YOU we're radical you were Democrat, and
If YOU we're downright Boshevid they called
you Jacobin
But whatever the words were, Washington
had the same sort of problem that any leader
must face in time Of social upheaval-the job
Of steering fair course between the extremes
demanded by different groups Of his fellows.
He was unquestionably a conservative at

probably the richest man in America, by all
accounts-and he was an aristocrat BY birth
and training.
Yet ne was a rebel. too. To revolt against
the king was no light thing. in those days

unouestionablv have been hanged drawn and
chartered in the tower of London, and he
