Major Problems

l shall consult with you from time
to time concerning other measures
of national Importance. Among the
subjects that lie Immediately before
us are the consolidation of Federal
Regulatory Administration over all
forms Of transportation, the renewal
and Qualification of the general pur-
poses of the National Industrial Re-
covery Act, the strengthening of our
facilities for the prevention, detec-
ton and treatment of crime and
/ criminals, the restoration of sound
conditions in the public utilities
| field through abolition of the evil
features of holding companies, the
| gradual tapering of of the emer-
gency credit activities of Govern
ment, and improvement in our taxa
ton forms and methods.
We have already begun to feel the
bracing effect upon our economic
system of a restored agriculture.
| The hundreds of millions of addi-
! tional income that farmers are re-
ceiving is finding its way into the
channels of trade. The farmers
share of the national income is ris-
ing slowly. The economic facts JUS
tify the widespread opinion of those
engaged in agriculture that our pro-
vision for maintaining a balanced
production gave at this time the
most adequate remedy for an old
and vexing problem. For the pres
ent and especially in view of abnor-
NAL world conditions, agricultural
adjustment with certain necessary
improvements in methods should
continue.
1t seems appropriate to call at
tention at this time to the fine
spirit shown during the last year
by our public servants. l can not
praise too highly the cheerful work
of the Civil Service employees, and
Of those temporarily working for the
Government. AS for those thou
sands in our various public agencies
spread throughout the country who,
without compensation, agreed to

connection with our various loan
agencies and particularly in direct
relief work, can not say too much.
1 do not think any country could
show higher average of cheerful
and even enthusiastic teamwork
than has been shown by these men
and women.
I can not with candor tell you
that general international relation
ships outside our borders are i'm
proved. On the surface of things
many old jealousies are resurrected
old passions aroused; new strivings
for armament and power, in more
than one land, rear their ugly heads
I hope that calm counsel and con-
Structive leadership will provide the
steadying influence and the time
necessary for the coming of new and
more practical forms of representa-
tive Government throughout the
world wherein privilege will occupy
a lesser place and welfare greater.
I believe, however, that our own
peaceful and neighborly attitude to-
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-01-04

wards other nations is coming to be
understood and appreciated. The
maintenance of international peace
is a matter in which We are deeply
and unselfishiy concerned. Evidence
of our persistent and undeniable
desire to prevent arm conflict has
recently been more than once af-
forded.
There is no ground for apprehen-
sion that our relations with any ma
ton will be otherwise than peace
full. Nor is there ground for doubt
that the people of most nations seek
relief from the threat and burden
attaching to the false theory that
extravagant armament can not be
reduced and limited by interna-
tional accord.

Industrial Gains

We have undertaken a new order
of things: Yet We progress toward
it under the framework and in the
spirit and intent of the American
Cc rtitution. We have proceeded
tn ughout the Nation a measurable
distance on the road toward this
new order.
Materially, 1 can report to you
substantial benefits to our agricul-
tural population, increased indus
trial activity. and profits to our
merchants. Of equal moment. there
is evident a restoration of that
spirit of confidence and faith which
marks the American character. Let
him who, for speculative profit or
partisan purpose, without just war
rant would seek to disturb or dispel
this assurance, take heed before he
assumes responsibility for any act
which slows our onward steps.
Throughout the world cnange Is
the order of the day. In every M
ton economic problems, long in the
making, have brought crises o.
many kinds for which the masters
of old practice and theory were I'M
prepared. In most nations social
Justice, no longer a distant ideal,
has become a definite goal, and an
cient governments are beginning to
heed the call.
Thus, the American people do not
stand alone in the world in their
desire for change. We seek it through
tested liberal traditions, through
processes which retain all of the
deep essentials of that Republican
form of representative Government
first given to a troubled world by
the United States.
As the various parts in the pro-
gram begun in the extraordinary
session of the 73d Congress shape
themselves in practical administra-
ton, the unity of our program re-
veals itself to the nation. The out
lines of the new economic order
rising from the disintegration of the
old, are apparent. We test what we
have done as our measures take

see where we have built wisely ano
where we can do still better.
The attempt to make a dlstlnc-
ton between recovery and reform
is a narrowly conceived effort to SUBJ
stitute the appearance of reality tor
reality itself. When man is con-
valescing from illness wisdom die
tates not only cure Of the symptoms
but also removal of their cause.
1t is important to recognize that
while we seek to outlaw specific
abuses. the American objective OF
today has an infinitely deeper, finer
and more lasting purpose than mere
repression. Thinking people in
almost every country of the worlo
have come to realize certain funda-
mental difficulties with which civil
ization must reckon. Rapid changes
the machine age, the advent OF
universal and rapid communication
and many other new factors have
brought new problems. Succeeding
generations have attempted to keep
pace by reforming in piecemeal
fashion this or that attendant abuse
AS a result. evils overlap and reform
becomes confused and frustrated
We lose sight, from time to time, OF
our ultimate human detectives.

tional Government. 1 shall send 10

mendations based on these studies
These recommendation will cover
the broad subjects of unemployment
insurance and old age insurance, Of
benefits for children, for mothers,

care and for other aspects of de-
tendency and illness where a be-
ginning can now be made.
The third factor-better iOiiI2.ees
for our people-has also been the
subject of experimentation and
study. Here, too, the first practical
steps can be made through the pro-
posals which 1 shall suggest in re-
lation to giving work to the unem-
ployed.

Security Factors

Let us. for a moment, strip from
our simple purpose the confusion
that results from multiplicity of
detail and from millions of written
and spoken words.
We find our population suffering
from old inequalities. little changed
by past sporadic remedies. In spite
of our efforts and in spite of our
talk, We have not weeded out the
over privileged and We have not
effectively lifted up the priv
ileged. Both of these manifesto
lions of injustice have retarded hap
pineSs. No wise man has any in
tention of destroying what is known
as the profit motive; because by the
profit motive we mean the right by
work to earn a decent livelihood for
ourselves and for our families.

should be larger than the amount
now received as a relief dole. but
at the same time not so large as to
encourage the rejection OF oppor-
tunities for private employment or
the leaving of private employment
to engage in Government work.
8. Projects should be undertaken
on which a large percentage OF
direct labor can be used.
4. Preference should be given to
those projects which will be self
liquidating in the sense that there
is a reasonable expectation that the
Government will get its money back
at some future time.
5. The projects undertaken
should be selected and planned so
as to compete as little as possible
with private enterprises. This Sug-
gests that if it were not for the ne
cesSity of giving useful work TO the
unemployed now on relief, these
projects in most instances would not
now be undertaken.

seek to assure work during the COM
ing fiscal year to the individuals
now relief, or until such times pri-
vate employment is available. In
order to make adjustment to in
creasing private employment, work
should be planned with a view to
tapering it off in proportion to the
speed with which the emergency
workers are offered positions with
private employers.
Z. Effort should be made to To-
acte projects where they will serve
the greatest unemployment needs
as shown by present relief rolls, and
the broad program of the national
resources board should be freely
used for guidance in selection. Our
ultimate objective being the enrich
ment of human lives, the Govern
ment has the primary duty to use
its emergency expenditures as much
as possible to serve those who can
not secure the advantages of pri-
vate capital.
Ever since the adjournment OF
the 73rd Congress the Administra-
ton has been studying from every
angle the possibility and the prac-
tibility of new forms of employment
AS result of these studies 1 have
arrived at certain very definite con-
victionS as to the amount of money
that will be necessary for the sort
of public projects that I have de-
Scribed.
I shall submit these figures in my
budget message. I assure you now
they will be within the sound credit
OF the Government.
This work will cover a wide field,
including clearance of Slums, which
for adequate reasons can not be I'M
dertaken by private capital; in rural
housing of several kinds, where,
again, private capital is unable to
function; in rural electrifcation; in
the reforestation of the great water
sheds of the nation; in an inten-

sion and to reclaim blighted areas:
in improving existing road systems
and in constructing national high
ways designed to handle modern
traffic; in the elimination of grade
crossings; in the extension and en-
largement of the successful work
of the civilian conservation corps,
in non-Federal work, mostly self
liquidating and highly useful to
local divisions of government; and
on many others which the nation
needs and can not afford to
neglect
This is the method which I pro-
pose to you in order that we may
better meet this present day prob

The Constitution wisely provides
that the chief executive shall report
TO the Congress on the state of the
Union, for through you, the chosen
legislative representatives, our citi-

A New Program

This new program of emergency
public employment should be gov
erned by a number of practical
principles.
l. All work undertaken should be
useful-not just for day, or a
year, but useful in the sense that
it affords permanent improvement
in living conditions or that it
creates future new wealth for the
Nation.
2. Compensation OF emergency
public projects should be in the
form of security payments which

permanent policy of providing the
three types of security which con-
stitute as whole an American plan
for the American people.

has closed down packing peas. The
pack, which was in excess of 50,-
900 cases, proved to be the largest
one ever made at the local plant.
The fine help of this place is plain
ly shown by the fact that 135 peo-
pie were on the payroll during the
packing period. The quality Of the
crop was excellent, and the grow
ers found the average to be better
than previously While some grow
ers had the excellent average of
one ton to the acre, there were sew
eral growers to reach the high
point of 1 y tons to the acre, these
conditions making the season here
the most successful one in the his

The blackberry crop which is
said to be most profitable, is now

owing to the quality. One small
grower received $2.65 per 80 quart

the blackberry crop will rival the

PERMITS OF GAS DEALERS
Shows That Gas ON Sale Is Tax
Paid and Dealers Are Licensed


Although it is the first of July
for everyone else it is New Years
day for those who sell gasoline be-
cause it is the first day of their
license year and on that day the
license of 1856 must be display
ed in a prominent place in their
business location, otherwise they
are subject to fine or can be held
for court. The fact that they have
received no notification will be no
excuse as they are to send to the
State Highway Department, Motor
Fuel Tax Division, Dover, Della
ware for a license which costs but
$500 for the fiscal year beginning
July 1, 1885 and ending June 30,
1886. Last year nearly so dealers
were compelled to pay fines upon
their neglect and it is hoped this
year there will be no such trouble.
1t is only the desire of the Depart
ment that licenses be taken out at
the proper time. There is no wish
for arrests to be made. Although
it is called license, it is merely a
permit showing the gasoline on sale
has been tax paid, and is the
method the state uses to cut of
any flow of hot" gasoline.

Situation Better As Salt Marsh
Pests Have Been Greatly Reduced
Salt marsh mosquitoes have been
greatly reduced in eastern Sussex
County, despite unusually rainy
weather during the spring and
summer thus far, according to the
daily mosquito census" by electric
traps. These traps, placed at
Bethany, Selbyville, Millsboro,
Georgetown, Rehoboth, Lewes, Mil
ton, and Milford, by the Delaware
Mosquito Control Commission,
nightly attract and draw to their
death in cyanide chambers, an av-
erage cross section of the mosquito
population of the area. Each
nights catch is classified and
counted by the Entomologist of the
University of Delaware Agricul-
ture Department, thereby ascer-
tanning, by identifying the species,
where the major breeding occurs,
for the breeding habits of each
specie are known The salt marsh
ditching program, which is rapidly
nearing completion in Sussex Coun-
ty, will son be instituted in Kent
County with the installation of two
additional CCC camps at Magnolia
and Leipsic. Rehoboth and Lewes,
bordered by extensive salt marshes,
have had very few mosquitoes in
their traps up to the close of last
weeks collection, but Georgetown,
with serious ditch and cesspool con-
ditions, had as high as forty-five of
the house mosquito (culex pipiens)
specie in the trap each night. Mills
boro, one of the inland towns that
passed and enforced the house mo-
squito control ordinance last sum-
mer, had only about half as many,
though close to salt marsh areas.
This seems indicative of the eff
ficiency of house mosquito control
measures, as well as of the marsh
ditching program carried on by the
CCC camps" said w. S. Corkran,
executive officer of the Delaware
mosquito control commission, COM
menting on the trap reports.
'fMillsboro was one of the first to
pass and enforce the ordinance
making it illegal to willfully allow
mosquito breeding nuisance or
private property. Georgetown, on
the other hand, steadfastly ignored
the even greater need of such an
ordinance. Previous to the begin
ming of the mosquito control work
in the state, SO per cent of the mo-
squitoes in Georgetown were of the
house variety, due probably to the
open drainage and numerous cess
pools"

Auto Inspection Campaign

For the seventh consecutive
year, from July Is to Septem-
Der 1, Delaware's $4,000 auto
mobile owners will fall in line
to undergo inspection. The
campaign will be conducted
Jointly by the council, the
State Highway Department
and the State Motor Vehicle
Department. Five safety
lanes for the inspection of ma
chimes and equipment will be
set up throughout the State,
two in Wilmington, and one
each in rural New Castle, Kent
and Sussex counties. The ex-
act location of the lanes will
be announced later. In times
such as these when an unus-
ually large number of old
automobiles are being driven
on the highways by motorists
who are unable to afford the
luxury of a new car, the an
nual auto inspection has 9
special Importance. It's con.
Germ is not with the human
element at all; it is designed
purely to do what can be done
by a single check-up to se'
that cars are mechanically fl
to drive.
Of course the work canno
be accomplished by a singh
hurried inspection on one da.
out of the 365. Brakes Cal
get out of adjustment within
a short period, headlights an
parking lights may fail at an.
time, steering may be impair
ed by any minor accident.
What the annual inspection
does do is to call to the at
