Public Address
System Assured
For Grid Games

Football fans who grumbled about
the absence of q public address sys-
TEN at the game between the Spar

ROOSEVELT RIGHT-HOOVER
WRONG (?)

The federal government must and
shall quit this business of relief
1t had to come sooner or later and Mr..
Roosevelt, in his message to congress yes
terday, has decided that the time has
now arrived, for the quotation is from
his address.
Mr.. Hoover declared that relief was
not the business of the federal govern
ment and was roundly "cussed'' on all
sides for stating what Mr. Roosevelt and
the rest of US have found out by exper-
fence is true. The Hoover contention
that relief was primarily state or local
problem, was held to be damnable doc
trine, based on the selfishness of capital
ism and the dictates of Wall street.
Local responsibility can and will be
resumed, for, after all, common sense
tells US that the wealth necessary for
this task existed and still exists in the
local community and the dictates of
sound administration require that this
responsibility be in the first instance
local one," Mr.. Roosevelt said, and he is
right. Mr.. Hoover said the same thing
and he was entirely wrong.
ITO dole out relief in this way said
Mr.. Roosevelt, is to administer a mar
cotic, a subtle destroyer of the human
spirit. 1t is inimical to the dictates of
sound policy. 1t is in violation of the
traditions of America. Work must be
found for able bodied but destitute work
ers."
How true are the Presidents words.
Men who few years ago scorned any
sort of charity, no matter how heavily it
was disguised, now boast of being on the
relief rolls. The work they have been
doing in great measure is little more
than the old army game of having men
move flock of barrels from one place to
another just to keep them occupied.
Work, real work, work that will be of
permanent value to the country, is what
is needed, not only for the welfare of the
country but to enable the individual to
retain his self-respect and independence,
without which he is no more than serf
or a slave.
Business men have had the idea that
they must curtail output and raise prices.
Organized labor has had the idea that it
could make work for all by reducing
hours and raising wages. The farmers
have been paid for restricting output. :.
Only productive labor can produce
wealth. Idleness does not produce
wealth, and those who think it does are
trying to make gold out of sea water"
That is not a quotation from the Pres
ident's message. 1t is from the pen of

UNCLE WIGGILY's sNOwsHOEs

When Uncle Wiggily awakened
in his hollow stump bungalow one
morning and looked out of the win

saw that the snow was falling very
fast.

Mr.. LongearS as he hoped out of
his warm bed. "It IS a good thing
this is Saturday for some of my lit
tie bunny boys and girls might get
stuck in a deep drift if they tried
to go out now to recite their les
sons TO the Lady Mouse Teacher in
the Hollow Tree School,
When Uncle Wiggily dressed and
hoped down stairs to have his
breakfast of turnip juice with cab
bage oatmeal and carrot coffee, he
saw Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy at the
telephone. -
"Is that a call for me?" asked
Uncle Wiggily. of it IS from Mr.
Twistytail or Uncle Butter please

hard for me to go out adventuring

''No," answered Nurse Jane, sit
isn't call for you. But even If it
is showing hard. Mr.. Longears, you
may have to 60 out, though not
for an adventure
''what for, then?" asked the
rabbit gentleman.

is work, productive work, that is the par
amount need of the country.
Mr.. Roosevelt proposes to scrap the
Federal Emergency Relief Adrlinistra-
tion and replace it with an emergency
public works program under which shall
be assembled all government activities
for providing the unemployed with USE
Full work that will be of lasting bene-
fit to the nation.
The administrations changed view-
point on this relief question must find
satisfaction with all thinking persons.
1t is an indication that the wild spend
ing of the past two years. with so little
definite good to show for it, is coming
to an end, to be replaced by sound, con-
structive and lasting Improvement.
Mr.. Roosevelt S message, embracing a
plea for the security of individual live
lihood, the development Of natural re-
sources for the welfare of the people of
the nation, the proposal to institute old
age and employment insurance, measures
TO improve the home life and social sta
tus of all and his desire to bring about
the spiritual recovery as we'll as the ma
teriat recovery of the nation, cannot
help but strike a responsive chord i'm men
and women who read it.
His pledge that all will be done with
in the limits of the constitution was
hardly necessary. His fellow-country-
men know Mr.. Roosevelt could not be
otherwise than faithful to his oath to up
hold and defend the constitution Small
minded men, regardless of party affilia-
tion, may howl radical" at the top of
their lungs, the nation has full faith in
Mr.. Rooseyelt's Americanism.
That the changes he proposes will be
brought about within the governments
ability to pay for them, will be encour-
aging to the business of the country,
which has been between the devil and the
deep sea because of the governments in
ability to balance the budget.
Even partisan opponents, such as Sen
ator McNary, Republican leader in the
senate, laud the Presidents message.
They could not do otherwise and be hon.
est. 1t is constructive, and above all it
is encouraging. 1t points the way to a
sound and firm basis on which to work
out the nations problem.
Adherence to the program he has laid
down will bring to the President the sup
port of all who sincerely wish to see the
return of the true prosperity which is the
rightful heritage of this nation.
