FERA Prevents Surrender
to Longs Political
Machine

NEW ORLEANS, La, June %.
(UP).-The federal government
took over the New Orleans gar
bage collection department last
night to safeguard public health
during strike of city employees,
who have been driven to distrac-
ton by uey Longs political OPP
preston.
Frank H. Peterman, state direc-
tor of FERA, told city officials to
make up their payrolls and he
would have the money to meet
them Saturday morning.
The federal aid enabled Mayor
T. S. Walmsleys city administra-
ton to stave off surrendering to
Longs state political machine,
which has harrassed and looted
the city for two years. The situa-
ton had grown desperate after
garbage men struck yesterday.
Refuse lay in the streets and side
walks, menace to health, traffic
and public morale.
Peterman said the FERA would
operate nine other city depart
ments, in addition to garbage col
lections. They are the bridge ten

hospital, city board of health,
market sanitation, municipal boys
home, fire alarm office, hospital
for mental diseases and house of

laws. Garbage men quit work IN
despair, saying they were starv-

Example For Business

Probably there are few Americans that win deny
that we need a system Of old age pensions. There
probably will be equal agreement that such a system
must be operated by the federal government. Never
the less, 1t Is well to remember that there are some
far-sighted corporations which have been quietly
conducting pension plans Of their own on q truly
remarkable scale.
FOR instance; II was announced the other day that
the Pennsylvania railroad system Is now paying out
no less than 100000 a month in pensions. It es-
tablished its pension system in 1900. Today 1t has
1900 pensioners on its rolls.
The security that such a plan gives to a large body
of workers is something beyond price. If more cor

We Do Need a Fairer Wealth
Distribution

Start to talk about redistribution Of wealth and
sou Immediately set people thinking about the Huey
Longs, the DR.. Townsends. and all those other en-
thusiastic people whose desire for a reshuffAng Of
this worlds goods outruns their sense Of what is
practical
Yet there really is an immense gap between the
abstract belief that wealth should be more equitably
distributed and the theory that the only way to do
It is to take dollars directly out Of the rich mans
pocket and hand them over to the poor man.
The demagog who likes to present an easy formula
20 cure all social ills does not see this. But that
wise old battler for the common man. Senator George
w. Norris Of Nebraska, gets the idea perfectly.
In q speech before a charter day" audience at the
University Of Nebraska the other day, Senator Nor
rs demanded redistribution Of wealth through the
simple means Of a progressive federal inheritance tax.
This. as he points out, does not mean taking prop
erty from one man and giving it to another. It
means taking money from the estates of the very
wealthy. where it can perform no real service to
humanity, and spending 1t in the interests Of the
man at the bottom of the heap.
Such scheme, as he points out. would accomplish
two things: it would check the steady, progressive
concentration Of wealth In the hands Of q small
class, and it would help materially to relieve the
country Of pauperism. Furthermore. it would put the
redistribution forward in a fair way.
A mans right to profit by his industry or his bril-
lance would not De mIrlnged. Only MS rgnL 70
pile up an untouchable fortune for future genera
tons would be reduced.
we have the wealthiest country in the world, and
yet one-third Of our people are IN beggary and
want" says Senator Norris. I'VE have millions Of
starving who must be fed.
whether we like it or not, we must raise billions
In taxes. Are we. in this dire p~redicament, 50 fool
Ssh as to think that the money can be raised by tax
ing the beggar?"
Even so conservative a country as England taxes
the estates Of the wealthy far more heavily than we
90. We can move q great distance In that direc-
ton without departing from the traditional American
economic framework.
A more Just distribution Of wealth is sorely need
Cd. If we don't attempt it in a fair and fortnight
manner like this. we may eventually be driven to some
drastic and less equitable method.
