Foreign and Domestic Commerce for the
benefit of trade-all public works Of a
kind.
Moreover, in his most recent book,
1.-THE Challenge to Liberty" Mr.. Hoover
reaffirms his faith in social processes.
"No civilization" he declares, could be
built to endure solely upon a ground
work Of greed or even upon the en-
lightened self-interest of the individual.
1t is out of the altruistic and construc-
tive impulses that the standards and
the ideals of the Nation are nodded and
sustained"
The dificulty, in the former Presidents S
mind, then, would seem to be that
which any individual might experience
in deciding upon a policy Of investment.
Some proposals merit acceptance, some
deserve rejection. Each must be judged
for and by its own innate and authentic
worth. And Mr.. Hoover qualified his
objection to public works by the
adjective unnecessary" signifying there
by no quarrel with those which are not
open to that restricting qualification.
His complaint, the language he chose to
use indicates, was aimed at E. w. A.
rather than P. w. A.
Doubtless the matter will be debated
exhaustlvely during the next twelve
months. 1t already has been discussed
for several years. and the people at
large have been making the distinction
which Mr.. Hoover stipulated. Toward
necessary public works the masses are
friendly; toward the other variety
boondoggling-they are hostile.

More is likely to be heard Of the VAN
denberg-for-P boom from now
on. Some prominent Eastern admirers
have taken it upon themselves to boost
the Wolverine Senator as logical Repub-
lican timber for 1886. The Grand Rapids
editor-StateSman made big hit with
business leaders in his Senate speech
last Summer when 'Soak-the-rich' taxes
were under discussion. His plea for
sound fiscal policy, especially retrench-
ment and budget balancing, convinced
many authorities that Vandenberg IS
ideally equipped to carry that paramount
issue to the country. The Michigan
mans dark-horSe chances are bolStered
by the fact that he commands the
friendly interest of both Hoover and
Borah. Politicians think he is playing

by no means extinct, the promoters OF
the survey sense that unscrupulous ele-

overplayed their hand since repeal that
a demand for return of prohibition is
beginning to be apparent. Unless GER

Starvation and Taxes.

President Roosevelt has told the
American mayors, meeting here, that
starvation will not be permitted in this
country. Federal aid to the jobleSS will
be continued as long as necessary. In
his address to the mayors he also mem
toned the question of taxation, some
times related to starvation. The Presi-
dent, it is reported, gave assurance that
there is to be no new Federal tax legis-
lation at the coming session of Congress
not, indeed, until after the presidential
election. Now here is something really
reassuring, something that will fall
pleasantly on the ears of those Demo-
Gratis who, like Mr.. Roosevelt, must run
next year for reelection.
In politics it has become almost
automatic that legislation increasing
taxes shall not come on the eve of elec-
tions. The party in power, which con-
trolls legislation, sees to that. The re-
puted statement by the President, how
ever, was that he did not want the pro-
jected conference on taxation to bring
forth a report until after the elections
next Fall. He did not, he said, want
the subject thought OF in a partisan
way. This is refreshing. The President
was talking of conference to revise
taxes. He did not mention increasing
the tax burden However, with deficits
of the Government calculated in billions
of dollars, any revision of the taxes Is
likely to be upward, not doWnWard-h
the Government intends to pay its debts.
Furthermore. if the plans OF tax changes
look to a downward revision OF the
tariff. and if such a thing were possible,
why put it off year, until after elec-
ton? For downward revision of taxes
is as popular as the reverse is unpopular.
Perhaps taxes should not be thought OF
In a partisan way. The best interests Oh
the country should be. considered in levy
ing taxes. The best interests OF an lnol-
vidual may be served by drastic opera
tion. But the operation is none the less
painful because it is necessary. So 1t
is with taxes when they fall upon the
people. The New Deal spenders may
believe, however, that the benefits OF
their national planning will far out
weigh the burden of increased taxes
They may be wrong. They seem wiling
to take a chance. In the end they Will
have hard time keeping taxes out of
politics.
No one must be permitted to starve.
Opponents of the Roosevelt admlnlStra-
ton and the New Deal are as emphatic
about that as the Chief Executive. There
is much difference of opinion, however,
as to the best methods of protecting the
needy from starvation.
When the tax burden becomes excess
sive starvation follows in its wake. 1t
always has, whether the Government lay
ing the taxes be autocratic or democratic.
The tax burden becomes excessive when
a government spends and spends, and
then spends more. 1t does not partlcu-
larly matter for what the money has been
spent after it is gone. If it is not paid,
then comes reputation or initiation or
both, with evils perhaps heavier than
taxation itself.

A bus driver, in handling one OF these
new silver beauties, can give us all q
lesson.
He doesn't worry about what's behind
him, but just lets the big bus come along
as best 1t can.
One of these vehicles Is almost as
long as a street car.
The man at the wheel steers in and
out of traffic. and seldom II ever scrapes
anything with the back or sides Of the
bus.
If he once stopped to worry about the
rest of his vehicle, he would be in a
stew all the time.
That is the way many people attempt
to steer their lives.
Instead OF permitting all behind them
to be behind them, where 1t belongs,
they necessarily worry over the guld-
ance of the past.
The wheels OF life will bring the re-
mainder along with 1t, without our con-
cerning ourself with 1t all, but so often
we keep peering around. worrying about
scraping into something.
The driver gets his big bus through
the traffic by concentrating OH what is
ahead of him and letting the hind end
come right along.
He looks, now and then, into his mir
ror, of course but mostly that is TO see II
any passenger wants to alight by the
famous treadle at the rear door.
1t is much better driving, in this
Journey of life. to be looking ahead
than to be looking behind
O1o the for we are
but human. after all, but, in the main,
eyes glued to the road.
That is the best way.
Like Little Bo Peeps famous sheep,
the rest will come behind, automatically.
So there is no need to worry about
1t. or to keep turning face around.
How many of us do it, and how human
IL is, after all!
It will be said. and correctly. that not
all need this advice. The bulk of hu-
manity operate their lives on exactly
this plan by instinct.
There are many who worry, however,
because they think too much.
The liabilities Of ordinary daily think
ing are seldom discussed.
Let us make it plain that whether
thought Is prontaDle or not. from any
standpoint, has nothing to do with the
exercise thereof.
One may do very poor thinking, or
very good thinking. but in each instance
it is very much thinking.
Ordinary worry, over thousand mat
tiers. is thinking as much as any.
1t may be in circle. it may be fruit
less, bootless and totally unneces-
sary, as it so often is. but in any analysis
it is a sort of mental game.
Often the chronic Worrier does some
very good intellectual work. He or she
plays a game Of chess, with probabilities
as the men.
The pawns. the kings and queens Of
thought the knights and bishops, and
the rocks. too, are deployed here and
there.
The worrier. By nature, will not admit
he has checkmated his adversary, even
when he has done it neatly. He goes
back over the game plays it all over
again, as it might have come out if his
opponent had made different move.
Worry, then. is not all loss. despite
there is no gain in it. usually. This
paradox may be explained in many

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton

Immortal Fragrance.
Rare portrait of a poetess
A century ago:
Soft curls against tender cheek,
Cultured profile aglow.
Translucent pearls on graceful throat,
Curved waist in amber band,
Lavender lines of lovelinesS-
A taperir1g. ringless hand.
The thought she penned in lyric form
Were but sigh. breath
Mere fragments. Epics from her soul
Were stilled by early death.
Her pastel loveliness is dust.
To some bard living now
Her portrait may round out the need
OF genius meath her brow.

truei There could be no doubt
about it now.
And why not? Why shouldn't il
be true, 10 Darien asked herself
stoutly. She had read Of many
instances OF unknown girls starting
out for stardom after only a few
DAYS or weeks in this magic city.
Usually. 1t was a girl who had
possessed some sort Of break
and she had had such a key.
Swiftly her brain travelled back over
the events which had led to this
unbelievable moment when BOlesOn
had asked he- TO come to his Of
fee.
She remembered the evening with
Bret and Tubbv in that little room
in the Fcnda.e apartments-when
Bret had suggested 10 should an

the meeting with Douglas Marsh on
her first day in Browns tiny store.
Then Crest Lake, and F'ragonet, and

wood. Beyond that there's nothing
that would"
L believe you" Boleson told her
quietly. But I'm not sure that the
gossips would Especially after the
rumors have been embroidered a
bit. And there's Mrs. Fragonet. You
few from Crest Lake with Fragonet,
did you not?"
10 nodded weakly. That was a
mistake. I know"
I'm afraid it was. The rumor
kettle was all set to boil over about
then. but fortunately I arranged
for Fragonet and his wife to APP
pear together at one OF the pre-
miers at Grauman's."
Boleson leaned forward slightly,
meeting JOS eyes across the desk.
It's purely a business proposition
with me, Miss Darien. I'd like to
get rid of Fragonet-he's a lot of
trouble-but I can't do that. 1 want
to avoid any scandal for him. I'm
going to get to the point, Miss Da-
rien. What is it worth to you?"
What is it worth to me?"
Exactly. What will you take to
turn Fragonet down cold?"
10 grew crimson. She bit her
lips. those trembling lips she had
rouged so carefully for this impOr-
tant visit to BLOSSOMS office. When
she answered at last it was with
more than ordinary effort.
III take nothing at ALL" she said
coldly.
Boleson smiled, but it was a cool
smile now. Are you trying for
higher stakes, or are you in love
with him?"
Neither, Mr.. Boleson. I've I've
already turned him down cold, as
you put it. Perhaps there were
times, at Crest Lake, when I should
have avoided him. But I didn't
realize then what it could lead to.
I really never want to see Fragonet
again. &C..
CHE broke off, suddenly weeping.
- Before she could stem the flow
of tears she was conscious of Bole-
son leaning over her solicitously, his
hands nervous, his voice heavy
with embarrassing regret.
Miss Darien, II can't tell you
how sorry 1 am" he was saying,
over and over again. 1T was rec
essary for me- to put it up to you
pretty straight, just in case you
