WASHINGTON. May 1.-If you
had Just tucked brand new check
for S4,890, 100000 into your billfold,
IL isn't likely you would be worry
ing about the landlords bill. But
not so, the United States govern
ment.
The government is worryong to-
day as May | shows up on the
Calendar and with 1t the inevitable
bill from the landlord
The trouble is that while there is
lots of money in the treasury, the
government can't spend 1t for rent.
SO 1t appears the United States is
just going to run some 100000 be-
hind on It's rent bill.
The depression is at the root of
the trouble. When the big govern
ment building program was insti-
tuted in Washington during the
Hoover administration, it was
thought that the new buildings
would provide enough space so that
the government departments could
move out of most of the rented
space.
Then came the depression, the
Roosevelt administration and the
new alphabetical agencies. The Of
flee situation is worse than ever.
The national park service, which
most people connect with the wide
open spaces of Glacier and YELL
lowstone, is the agency which has
to worry over the office situation.
It has the responsibility Of allo-
eating space to the government de-
partmentS.
Congress provided the park service
with a budget for 12,500,000 feet of
floor space last year. Now 1t has
100000 feet and is running out
of rent money.
In trying to make ends meet, the
service has spent lot Of time try
ing to get employees to turn out
their lights as soon as they are
through With the INTO reduce cleo
trio bills, rationing out paper tow
els, etc. But as the deficit indi-
Gates it hasn't done much good.
1t pinned it's hopes on a defi-
cheney rider tackled on to the in
terror department appropriation
bill, but since the measure hasn't
been signed yet and May is here,
there are going to be lot of irate
landlords In town.

AS he neared the stump he saw,
over the top, beautiful red flower
and he laughed and exclaimed:
"Ah, the first May blossom! III

but 1t must bring regret to all real Am
orleans that it has been found necessary
1t IS so easy to be loyal to ones country
every day in the year and there are so
many reasons why one should, that it is
pity any of us have to be stimulated
into being true to the land of our birth
or adoption.
There is a natural tendency on the
part of some to hate the radicals and all
their llk with vicious hatred, yet they
really deserve pity. With all its mis-
takes, there is something unusually clean
cut and fine about the history of the
United States of America 1t has its
poor, its starving, its neglected, and
many other evils. These, however, are
not the fault of the government so much
as they are the fault of all of us permit
ting undesirable men and institutions to
conduct our political affairs.
The constitution of the United States
gives all men the right to live their own
lives in their own way, without division
into castles. 1t has never been changed
in this respect, and if the men have been
cheated of that right the fault is not
justly placed on the shoulders of the gov
ernment.
Practically every other nation, with the
exception of Great Britain, steps into
the life of the individual at some par
ticular stage, and dictates to him what
he must do. This has been true for
many years, and is even more true now,
with dictators the fashion in many lands.
The right to education, the right to
worship as he pleases and the right to
vote as he pleases, are inherent rights
which the constitution guarantees to ev-
cry American. He is guaranteed free
press, free speech the right to assemble
and the right to petition. Does any
other nation permit these? Not even
England does, for English subjects must,
even though indirectly, support an estab-
lished church.
The radicals, who have taken over May
day, would have us substitute a govern
ment such as Russias for our own. How
any intelligent American can accept such
2 desire is beyond understanding. No
person of intelligence would prefer trans
portation by muleback if he could have
an automobile. He would not prefer the
candle light to electricity. 1t is Just as
sensible to accept the Russian plan of
government as it is to accept those ar
chaic and inefficient methods of trans
portation and light.

other. Russia's Communistic govern

UNCLE WIGGILY'S FIRST

asked Nurse Jane and she was so
surprised that she nearly dropped
the glass Of carrot juice she was
putting at Baby Bunty's place. The
little orphan rabbit drank carrot
juice instead Of orange juice once
in awhile.
"That must be Wiggy talking in
