stitution ran stronger in cities like
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh than in
the rural districts. This was to be
5expected. 1t is in the country districts
where the people are thinking along
fundamental lines. Of course there
were no decisive majorities for Con-
stitution tinkering even in the cities
But the significant point is that in the
smaller communities there was a de-
cisive vote against such monkey bust
ness. Evidently a lot of folk are be-
ginning to realize that government
operation and ownership of great
utilities and other business enter
prises, could easily and logically be
followed by public control and owner
ship Of small business and farms.
The best way to avoid this, of course,
is less tinkering with the fundamental
law.

PENNSYLVANIA SPEAKS

Those reformers who would like to
do a little Constitution tinkering,
some of whom have suggested that a
new amendment to permit the extern
sion of bureaucracy ought to be made
an issue in the 1886 campaign, have
not been so vociferous since the Penn
sylvania primary. Those hardy Key
stoners do not seem to have much of
penchant for taking on new Con-
situations. A proposal for a new one
in Pennsylvania backed by Governor
Earl who is quoted as saying that a
new document was needed to bring
the New Deal to Pennsylvania, was
decisively defeated by majority of
something like quarter of a million.
The present state constitution was
called a "horse and buggy" document
in the campaign but this did not seem
to brighten the voters. Perhaps some
of them came to the conclusion that
horse power is to be preferred to gas
in some instances.
Before the primary some of the
newspapers who favor constitutional
tinkering said that the Pennsylvania
result would be straw to show how
the New Deal wind was blowing. Evil
IDENTIFY somebody had told them that
Governor Earle's proposal would win.
At any rate they have been painfully
silent Analysing the situation since
the proposed Constitution tinkering
was so decisively turned down.
Attention has been called to the
fact that the proposal for a new Con-

OUR UNEMPLOYED

Unemployment figures which give
US an idea of what is going on in the
country, do not entirely assure US that
the New Deal is working in its efforts
to give everybody a job, despite the
huge OUTLAWS of money in various
sorts of Federal activity. For ex-
ample, the Alexander Hamilton Insti-
tute pointed out recently:
"The ranks of the unemployed in
the United States were increased by
223,000 persons in July. This raised
the total unemployment figure to 49,,
$4,000 from 12,796,O00 in June. There
were more persons unemployed in
July than in October, 1888, when the
figure was 12,810,0OO. The July figure
thus revealed that progress toward
the solution of the unemployment
problem since the brief squirt in en-
ployment after the bank panic is still
lacking"
to the question of whether the nation
is better off than it was three years
ago. Every unemployed person is
charge against the resources of the
nation. And the unemployment
figures are all the more significant
due to the fact that there has I'M
doubtedly been an increase in those
March, 1888. AS a matter of record,
Uncle Sans payroll has gained"
about 10000 persons and the end is
not yet. In Washington the govern
ment is taking over not only business
buildings, but residences and apart
ments to house the additional New
Deal bureaucracies. In addition to
these 10000 there are more than
100000 farmers" on the payroll help
ing to administer phases of the AAA
program. The payroll does not stop,
of course, with those regularly en-
ployed by government work. Relief
checks have gone out to many millions
more.
Still the employment figures in pri-
vate business are disappointing. Per-
haps having a little less government
in business might help, by aiding in
ha1ancinu tho national huduat and ra
ducing taxes.

ANOTHER INSTANCE

A dispatch from Washington, I'M
der recent date, has the following in
teresting information in reference to
some of the methods used in the build
ing of that monstrosity at Arthur
dale, located few miles west of Oak
land in Preston county, West Va:
Comptroller General McCarl was
disclosed today to have stepped
again into the path of the Reeds
vile, w. Va, resettlement project,
this time ruling that $4,000 had
been improperly obligated for a
factory there.
McCarl had originally held that
there was no legal authority for
spending $525,O0O of the original
works fund for a factory at
the project in which Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt has taken a great in
terest. ~
The original plan was to build a
plant there to make postoffice equip
ment. Failing to get congressional
authorization for such a plant, ar
other type of building was begun.
McCarl in his ruling said that it
appeared that the contracts were
entered into without further sub
mission to his office. The building
now is about so per cent finished.
The contract with the Truscon
Steel Company was for $4,000,
with $1,000 for architects fees to
Steward Wagner of New York. The
builder has already been paid $780,
700, and the architect 5000.
The McCarl ruling came on the
$500 additional owed the architect.
Resettlement Administration off
Gals said they were preparing to ask
him to reconsider the ruling.
The fact that Comptroller General
McCarl did not allow the items set
out above, is not important, but the
enormous expense and the use of pub
lie none (which was not allocated by
Congress for that purpose, is i'm
portant.
The steel contract for the factory
building it is noted was $4,000 and
the architectural fees, $1,000. 1t is
learned that the contract was entered
into without any authority. 1t is the
pet project of Mrs. Roosevelt and this
factory building has been erected for
no purpose except to fool the people,
There are no designs for any kind of
work. The factory building has been
done and ready for occupancy since
June l, but nothing to occupy it. Just
lately it was learned that it was the
intention of the First Lady to hire
some company to come in and operate
under Government guarantee until
after election next year.
Arthurdale is destined to be a polit-
ical scandal that will smell to high
heaven, and for rottenness it may rival
the Nitro experiment during the Will
son Administration.

AN ENDLESS CHAIN

The government has gone from one
pitfall to another in its effort to whip
agriculture into line, but it does seem
as if the potato control law will strain
endurance to the limit.
Coercion and restraint would seem
to have reached their masterpiece in
this law, yet it is only a logical re-
striction attempted by the AAA. The
more they are restricted in the right
to raise other crops, the more the
farmers have turned to potatoes, and
the more they are curbed in potatoes
the more they will turn to something
else.
