WEDNESDAY. APRIL 10. 1898.
WAR PROFITS PLUS
"a scRIPPs-HowARD NEWSPAPER,

A FTER starting out to pass the McSwain
Abiu to conscript manpower and freeze
profits in wartime, the House ended by elimi-
mating the draft and putting in 100 per cent
excess profits tax As passed this measure Is
full Of faults which should be corrected in the
Senate but it is at least superior to the original
McSwain bill.
Whether the Senate will pass an adequate
bill remains to be seen. One group is unWll-
Ing to hurt the war prohteers. Another group
at the moment seems to be off on tangent
expecting to solve this many-sided problem
solely by drastic taxation.
We doubt the ability of Congress to take
the Profits out of war" since our national
economy is based on profits There will be
profits, all right, if not open then disguised.
About all that can be done at best Is TO limit
the excess prohts-the exempted profits being
fixed in relation to current credit and money
rates That should be done.
But that is only one part, and minor part
of the lob. More important as measure to
prevent war-mongering is the naturalization
and government monopoly OF the munitions
business And most important to keep us OUT
of war is a law directing the President to ban
all loans and exports for war purposes to
belligerents, and to withdraw all American
protection from citizens and ships entering
fighting areas. The Nye and Clark resolutions
introduced in the Senate yesterday are in that
direction.
1t is good policy to curb proflteering when
we are at war 1t is better policy to prevent
America being dragged into the war at all.

PARADOX ON THE FARM

A THOUGH the Federal government has
n taken unprecedented steps in the last
two years to reduce American farm produc-
ton, an odd little cross-current in the tide Of
events has resulted in substantial increase
in the number of farmers.
Census Bureau officials estimate that at
least half a million new farms have sprung up
in the United States during the depression.
For the most part, it is believed that this is
due to the return to rural areas of city folk
whose jobs vanished when factories shut down.
Over period of many years our farm
population steadily declined. It is surpris-
ing enough to find this trend reversed, over
a fve-year stretch; but to try to figure out
just how this reversal is going to go hand
finland with our new policy of reducing farm
production is something that might keep the
brain trust awake nights.

NAVAL GOOD WILL

IN response to an appeal to President Roose-
Il Welt by the Federal Council of Churches,
the Navy Department has announced that
next months fleet maneuvers in the Pacific
will be kept at least 1000 miles away from the
nearest bit Of Japanese territory.
Furthermore, as a goodwill gesture, Ad
miral Frank B. Upham. commander of the
Asiatic fleet, will visit Yokohama on the day
the feet exercises begin; and little later on
a squadron OF American destroyers will pay
goodwill visit to Kobe.
The Church Council feared that Japanese
suspicion and antagoniSm would be increased
by the fact that our feet is to maneuver in
Pacific waters. The Navy Departments re-
spouse ought TO so far to meet the objection.
1t all goes to show the peculiar problem
that rests upon the naval authorities these
days. If you maintain a feet, and suspect
that you may have to use it some day against
a certain power. the logical course is to prac-
tice the maneuvers you would have to use
If that day arrived. But If such practice stirs
up nl-win and thereby helps to bring the
unwelcome day nearer-wel. what Is the an
swer, anyway?

BETTER MEN, BETTER LAND

DEW New Deal agencies have proved as sue
cessful as the Civilian Conservation Corps
Few are as we'll prepared to go forward in our
recovery program. Few are as certain to be-
come permanent in our government structure.
With general public approval and fresh
Congressional appropriation of six hundred
million dollars, the CCC starts its third year
with plans to increase its enrolment immedi
ately from an average of 5000 to 100000 and
to expand its useful work in conserving soil,
forests and wild life.
In two years more than a million young
men have found jobs in the CCC. From their
basic pay of $50 month they have sent home
an average of SIS, contributing directly to the
support of approximately three million per-
sons most of whom otherwise would have
been dependent upon doles.
The number of incendiary fires in national
parks and forests has been reduced by half,
millions Of dollars worth Of valuable timber
has been saved, great forests for the future
have been insured by new paintings, killing Of
wild game in public preserves has practically
ceased. Besides policing and reconstructing
public lands, the CCC has helped launch vast
soil erosion control demonstrations, and has
started work designed to save the western
plains country from the dust menace.
The CCC is conserving human as well as
natural resources. Young men, green, under
fed and unframed" are rescued from street.
corner idleness and placed in camps where
they get the benefits of discipline, good food.
medical care and vocational and liberal courses
of education. They are learning to use their
hands and their brains and helping to re-
build the country for theirs and future gen.
erations.
With the size and importance of the CCC
increasing, great care should be taken to keep
clear its original detectives. Greedy patron
age hunters are trying to pack the camps with
politically appointed foremen and technical
experts. Ambitious militaris;s are scheming
to convert the corps into an auxiliary reserve.
Fortunately, both President Roosevelt and Di-
rector Fechner are vigilant opponents OF the
miitarists' schemes. But they may find it
harder to rest the spoils pressure.

CHAOS IN COAL

TN the Guffey bituminous coal bill Congress
l. has a rational project for sterilization OF
one Of Americas sickest industries.
This measure is a permanent and compre-
hensive version Of the coal code. 1t carries
out President Roosevelt's demand for govern
ment supervision over natural resources in be-
half of conservation, sterilization and elinnina-
ton of "ruinous price cutting and inordinate
profits" 1t approaches the new industrial
ideal Of partnership between owners, workers
and government.
The Guffey bill would put the soft coal in
dustry under a national commission named
by the President with the consent of the Sen
ate. This body would estimate the national
tonnage needed, and then apportion produc-
ton among 81 regional districts. 1t would fix
standard hours and wages. and minimum and
maximum prices. 1t would bulwark the work.
ers' right to bargain collectively, select their
own acknowledgment, live IN other than COM
pany houses, buy in other than company
stores. coal labor board would mediate
disputes.
owners are encouraged to participate by
the provision for Is per cent tax on mined
coal, all but one per cent of which would be
RENTED to cooperating concerns
An essential feature of the bill is the crea-
ton of huge fund raised through a produc-
ton tax for government purchase of coal lands
forced out of production and for rehabilitat-
ing miners thrown out of their jobs through
sterilization.
This bill is not perfect. The government,
we believe, should have more power in carry
ing out production control. The public in
terest should be guarded by consumer repre-
sentation on the commission. The commits
sion also should have power to impose mine
safety standards. And eventually Goals COM
peting fuels should come under the same sort
of regulation.
The measures greatest danger lies in its
invitation to higher coal prices and its tempta-
ton to profiteering. Coal men, however, should
not need to be reminded that theirs is not a
monopolistic industry Any undue rise in coal
prices will drive consumers to the use of oil,
gas and electricity.
Today coal spells chaos in this country,
with its mines capable of turning out 100 per
cent more than the nation can consume. Some
such measure as this is needed to prevent
ruin for the operator and restitution for the
miner.

: THE INDIANAPOLIS TINES
MEMORIAL TO IT. r.

THE Federal Relief Administration plans to
u purchase two stable tracts in the bad
lands" Of North Dakota and turn them into a
public recreation area. Some $4,000 acres Of
land have been optioned, and present plans
call for construction Of a scenic drive following
the Little Missouri River, erection Of cabins
and hotels, and laying out of camping sites,
footpaths, riding trails, and so on.
The interesting thing about this venture is
the fact that the park will BE named for Theo-
dore Roosevelt, whose old ranch lies right in
that neighborhood.
1t would be hard to think Of more fitting
memorial to TEDDY" than a western park
where all the people could enjoy outdoor life
No American did as much to make us con-
scious of the heart-lifting openness and beauty
of our great West as Theodore Roosevelt; nor
did any one do as much to preserve the nat
ural resources of that region for the public
good.
Theodore Roosevelt Park should be a well
come addition to our recreational resources in
more ways than one.

Job done; If we were. we would have done 1t
when times we're flush and the government had
plenty Of money.
The main thing Is TO get a man tied up
with job-any kind Of job, so long as it fits
his own capabilities and enables him to feel
that he is earning his own living.
Some of the jobs may be more or less use
less, even ridiculous-but the men and women
who are filling them must be kept alive, and
we can either give them the work they know
how to do or go ahead and support them in
complete idleneSs. The first course is cheaper
in the long run.
The second complaint-that men prefer the
dole to self-support-is the most serious criti-
cism that can be made Of any relief program
But the Cleveland situation has angles which
are not apparent on the surface.
1t happens. for instance, that some relief
clients will actually find their standard Of liv-
ing cut if they leave relief for outside jobs. The
average relief budget is s29 month, with free
rent. A man leaving relief to take an outside
Job Observation-Disclosures Smelling out to the
landlord.
In most cases he has number Of debts, run
up in the early stages Of TIE depression AS
soon as he goes oft relief and gets job, his
creditors garnishee his wages.
In the end since wages are low, he often
finds himself with less to eat, less money in
his pockets and less security than he had when
he was on the dole.
II NAV be weak and selfish of him, in such
a case, to prefer the dole to 5ob-but it is
only natural
And the chief trouble may not be with the
relief program so much as with the social sys-
tenn which leaves workers at the mercy of
wage scales too low for decent living.

CRITICISMS OF RELIEF

A the President prepares to spend $780,
- 100000 to put men back to work, two big
criticisms of the whole theory of government
relief get into the headlines.
One comes from New York, where the FERA
has been paying men and women to perform
some rather peculiar jobs-such, for instance,
as teaching eurythmic dancing, tunbling, and
q thing called "boondoggling," studying popu-
lation trends in Europe in the year 1000 A. D..
putting on performances Of Uncle Toms
Cabin" and so on.
The other has arisen most pointedly IN
Cleveland. where it is found that q certain
percentage of relief clients prefer to stay on
relief rather than to take jobs IN private in
dustry.
It is charged. thus. that the relief program
spends money for work which might as well
remain undone and that it undermines char
acter by leading people TO prefer government
support to self-support.
Before accepting these charges in toto it is
wise to look into the circumstances amidst
which any relief program must be carried on
With work relief. the important thing is not
the work, but the worker. That Is to say, we
are not primarily interested In getting certain

says he was regular soldier and
joined in that year. 1 wonder if
soldiers are made in one year, or
even two years. I joined the Army
also and I am not sore because
there happens to be an outfit like
the Veterans of Foreign Wars. I
can join them and I wouldn't welsh
if could not. This guy can't take
it or he wouldn't be crying after
18 years.
I have heard drafted men crying
also, but I didn't consider that any
of my business and I don't now.
This fellow thinks just because he

that was drafted, but he wasn't. We
were all alike in the uniform.
There is the American Legion he
can join, which is just as good to
belong to as the V. F. w.
Well, I will let it go at that, for
I can imagine the laugh a real
soldier would get when he read the
headline "a Regular Soldier" in a
year or two.
Here's a few things I wonder if
he had to do in the States:
Did he have to sleep in the mud
and I wonder if it rained in the
States as often as it did in France
and going over on the boat and
coming back? I have seen things
happen over there that I hope !
never see again and it could not
have happened in the States, and
these boys were not in the front
lines and never got there. But just
remember, there are two good out
fits to join. We don't need any
more now. I wouldn't be a sore
head if I hadn't got over the pond
wouldn't want to go over again,
even if I didn't go to the front lines,
but I did ride all over France as
was a dispatch rider and I saw quite

JOBS OR WAR

rNDERSECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
~ TUGWELL, speaking at Rochester last
night. held up war or revolution as horrible
alternatives to providing jobs for the unem-
ployed.
1T is not enough to abhor war or to repu-
diate revolution. he said. "Paciflsts have never
prevented a great nation from going to war
and all the policemen. law and order avail
able have not preserved the greatest OF empires
from social revolution. 1t is only by utilizing
the surplus man-power which has been set
free by the machine to develop our national
heritage and to reconstruct our ways of liv-
ing that we can avoid the temptations OF war
and the risks of revolution"
A few days ago, DR.. Charles A. Beard, pre-
mier American historian spoke even more
graphically of the danger of being showed by
domestic economic forces into another foreign
war He said:
I'm the past when governments have had
to choose between strong domestic and strong
foreign policies, they have generally adopted
beligerent policy abroad. E. We must concen-
trate our efforts to make our great productive
machine furnish food, clothes and houses for
the masses Either this or the old way of war
this is the fateful choice that confronts the
President and Congress"
The few, but politically powerful, who are
whining at the cost of President Roosevelt's
work-relief program will do well to contem-
plate the more costly alternative.
