Italy, in debt to the United States
in the sum of 80 million dollars on
account of the international unpleas-
antness of about twenty years ago,
creates a war chest for home use of
240 million. Great Britain, in the hole
to US for the same reason to the ex-
tent of $50 million, is said to be con-
templating a naval building program
calling for the expenditure of a bill
lion dollars. It is alleged that a prop
uganda campaign is under way with
a view to involving the United States
in the African row. The symbol of
this country is sometimes the familiar
figure of Uncle Sam. Again it is the
eagle. If the U. S. A. permits herself
to be drawn into the existing diff
Guilty, Congress should pass a law
throwing Uncle Sam and the eagle
out the window and substituting a
poor fish-preferably the sucker-or
the monkey pulling the chestnuts out
Of the fire.

ject. The sum of $4,000 has been set
aside to use in buying land for the
work. Families selling their lands to
the government to be used in this
project will be offered assistance in
getting better and more profitable
land elsewhere.
Each time the state sends out sta
tistics regarding soil erosion it is
found that thi Is section is at the head
of the list of those counties and sec
tions that suffer worst from erosion.
Why is it then that we cannot get
together and get project of this sort
through for Ashe county? There
could be no better place for Uncle
Sam to spend our money. Our people
are willing and anxious to learn bet
ter methods of keeping their land in
good shape, and We have more than
plenty places where such project
could be located.
James M. Gray, regional director
of Land Utilization for the Resettle-
ment Administration, says:
"Dirt cheap is an out-dated express
sion. Dirt is not always cheap. When
erosion robs man of his topsoil and
leayes him with a non-prodnctive,
gully-cut farm, he realizes that his
dirt was worth more than gold itself.
Dirt, in the sense of productive soil,
is the most valuable Of all the ma
TONS resources"

EN- ROUTE TO THE
HANGMAN

Practically the last vestige Of hope
that Richard Bruno Hauptman may
have entertained that he might escape
the electric chair for the kidnapping
and murder of the Lindbergh baby
disappears with the endorsement Of
his verdict by the New Jersey court
Of appeals.
The further strategy will be made
to save him at the hands of the Unit
ed Safes Supreme Court, but lawyers
viii tell you that this is merely to
grbsp at q straw. -
The higher court that has just rul-
ed in his case gives invincible valida-
ton to the original verdict of the jury
and to the correctness of the legally
technical methods prevailing during
his trial.
That court sustained the decision OF
the jury in the lower court with a
Unanimous expression of his convic-
ton that evidence submitted was leg
ally adduced and that, on this basis
the verdict of the jury could not have
been otherwise.
And that seals the doom of this
man about whose guilt at the time
and possibly up to the moment Of this
clinching affirmation on the part Of
the higher New Jersey court, there
had been widespread misgivvings.

CHANGES WEIGHED
FOR Jobs RECORDS
Compensation Board May
Ease Rules for Reports
on Each EmpIoye.

The District Unemployment Com
pensation Board favorably considered
yesterday revision of proposed plans
for the month by month registration
Of the pay rolls of some $4,000 workers
affected by the jobless insurance pro-
gram, so as to avoid the need of main
tanning huge card index system on
each worker.
The board considered division of pay
roll reports from employers into two
classes. One would be mere summary
of persons permanently employed by
the reporting employers and the other
would be a detailed statement of the
name, wages and other conditions Of
employment, of employees not consid-
cred permanent.
The board said it had not reached
any decision on the proposal, but was
'favorably impressed with sugges-
tions submitted by a group of con-
trollers Of a number of business
houses in the District.
Allen Urges Change.
Commissioner George E. Allen, a
member of the beard, about a week
ago protested against maintenance of
huge card index system for each
worker subject to the act and sug-
gested Congress be asked to revamp
the law to place the payments on a
flat-rate basis instead of having them
calculated by a complicated mathe-
matical process based on actual count
Of number Of hours worked, wages
and other factors.
Outlining the new suggestions which
it considered, the board issued a state
ment explaining:
1.-THE suggestion is Q that all en-
ployeS be duly registered as of Janu-
ary /, 1896.
"(2) That all employers be required
to divide their employees into two
clasSes-those permanently employed
and those employed temporarily or
casually; that as to permanent en-
ployes, the employer will furnish every
month a summary statement showing
only the number of permanent en-
ployes, the total wages paid and the
tax paid.
End Of Service Recorded.
IS. That upon the separation from
employment of any permanent en-
ployes, the employer will be required
to prepare q separation report which
would contain the number of weeks,
the hours per week and the wages
paid such employees during the entire
term of his employment, and that
copy of this report be handed the
employe. another copy forwarded to
the board and another copy kept as
q part Of the records Of the employer
-. That as to temporary and casual
employees, the employer should report
every month the names Of such en-
ployes, the weeks work, the hours OF
employment per week and the wages
paid.
Such an arrangement would have
a provision to the effect that any EN-
ployer who indicates by his conduct
that he will not keep records of
permanent employees as provided by
the plan, or otherwise fails or refuses
to comply with orders Of the board in
respect to such permanent employees.
should be required to make detailed
monthly reports"
