NEWSPAPERS OPINION
THIS is REAL TRAGEDY

1t is real tragedy to falsely arouse the hopes
of millions of aging and aged men of spending
the evenings of their lives in comparative wealth
through large old age pensions. However desirable
such condition might be it should be evident
even to the most visionary that such plan is not
feasible at this time.
Paul Mallos, Washington correspondent, in his
column in The Citizen of Friday refers to this
situation very poignantly when he says that "the
cruelest political inside light of many a year is
that of great numbers of aged persons, poor and
nnemployed, who have been misled into believing

PROGRESS IS ONE-SIDED IN
MODERN ERA
(BY BRUCE CATION

No American industry represents the
strength and inventiveness OF the Amerl-
can production system quite as we'll as
does the auto industry. 1t is our first m
dustry in economic Importance, and it IS
first also in its hold on the public imaglna
ton.
Both in its good points and in its bad
ones it epitomizes the peculiar problems
which mass production has presented to
modern society.
An excellent study of the industry is to
be found in the report recently submitted
to President Roosevelt by the Henderson
committee. This report is a closeup pic
ture of mass production in all its strength
and all its weakness. AS such, it is worth
detailed study.
The achievements Of the auto industry
are found to be fairly dazzling. Steadily,
year after year, it has been building better
cars for less money.
In 1929, for instance, only "a per cent Of
the cars produced sold at wholesale for
less than $500; in 1881, 81 per cent were
in that price class. One large company
produced car day for each "A men en-
plOyed in 1880; today its rate is a car
day for each 16 men.
The spot and flash" Welding machine
enables two men to do what it took six
Kelders to do in 1929. Body framing,
which cost So in 1929, costs 80 cents to-
day. 1t cost 60 cents to hang a door in
1929; today four doors can be hung for 8
cents.
A whole column could be filled with
similar reports; and they reveal an indus
try which has made technical strides OF
almost Incredible length.
What the auto industry has done in the
way of efficient exploitation of the poten-
tialities of modern machinery is one of the
marvels of the age.
But the social side of the picture is less
pleasant. The committee finds that after
an auto worker is 40, he is made to feel
that he is working on borrowed time; if he
loses a job, his chances of getting another
are bad.
Intensive competition has spurred the
speed-up beyond human capability to pro-
duce day by day." Hourly earnings are
high, but yearly incomes are low; in one
company only 80 per cent of the men
worked as many as 40 weeks in one year,
and only % per cent earned as much as
$1,000.
We get, then, picture which epitom-
ICES the great problem of the mass produc-
ton age tremendous technical advances
accompanied by the creation of extremely
difficult human problems.
1t presents the paramount issue of our
era; our necessity for making progress in
the social field equal to the progress which
can be made in the field of mechanics.

Recently Ricard J. BeamiSh,
pennsylvania's secretary OIL the
commonwealth, speaking at a
dinner given a Judge retirin%
from the bench, said in part:
"The time has come for a gen

himself sent to the penitentiary
for rascality in court matters.
And q few months later in the
very court room in which had

destroying itself by its persistent

Very Poor Attendance.


The attendance lately has been un-
usually bad. Most of the absences are
due to the roads. Some students can't
possibly get through. others don't care
home because all the others do.
When there are thirteen to twenty
two absences in one grade. it is GER
tainly time to do something. For the
present we suggest either wagons or
walking. Do your best to have 1909

probably have to be postponed until a
later date. Bruno holds victories in
five out of the last six games with

the same one that drubbed Askov last
fall. Askov will be bolstered by five
boys who were ineligible last fall. With
a few practices and chance to get ac-
quainted with the positions they are
to play. the local boys. under the guild
ance of Mr.. Sails, should become one of
the best teams seen here in recent years.

OBSERVATIONS
BY Cong. ELMER ]. RYAN

Interest has been created through
out the country in various proposals
to establish a Commodity Dollar
and to thereby eliminate great fluc-
tuations in the prices of commodities.
1t is proposed to obtain the Com
modify Dollar" by establishing in
deXes of value for our currency III
proportion to the prices of a large
number of types of goods which move
in trade. BY government control Of
the issuance of currency, it is pro-
posed to regulate this proportionate
value of the dollar.
Several bills have been introduced
which, it is claimed. would accom-
plish the desired results. Among
them is bill proposed by Repre-
sentative T. Alan Goldsborough, a
high ranking member of the Banking
and Currency committee, and a bill
introduced by Representative William
Lemke of North Dakota.
Another measure of this nature has
been introduced by Senator Gerald P.
Nye of North Dakota. in the Senate
and by Representative Martin L.
Sweeney of Ohio in the House. This
measure, which proposes the estab-
lishment of a central bank and the
setting up of a statistical bureau to
determine the proper amount of cir
culating currency, is said to be spon-
sored by Rev. Father Charles E.
Coughlin of Royal Oak. Mich.
The bills to establish Commodity
Dollar" generally propose the estab-
lishment of a central bank of the
United States which would exercise
control over the nations currency.
Much talk has been heard about
the so-called gag" rules. 1t has
been charged that full expression
would not be allowed to advocates OF
the Soldiers Bonus and Old Age pen
| sion legislation.

measures have been taken up in the

The omnibus banking bill carrying
provisions to extend the life of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora
ton and to revise the Federal Reserve
system has been reported out by the
House Committee on Banking and
Currency. The bill at first provided
that all banks would be required to
join the Federal Reserve system be-
fore July 1, 1887, in order to be en-
titled to continued FDIC benefits.
This would have placed real handi-
cap on small country banks. This
provision has now been eliminated
from the House bill after the receipt
of many protests made to the commit
tee. 1t is feared that this require
ment may be placed in the bill which
passes the Senate. If so. it will face
a real fight on the part of the friends
of the small independent bank.
