KNOW YOUR STUFF

One piece of standard advice
for the author and the would-be
author is always to write about
something he understands.
The same advice goes for the
actor and the would-be actor
he should never take a part he
does not understand.
The other day | listened to
Northern radio performers en-
deavoring to portray a scene IN
ante bellum Dixie, and to initiate
Southern white and colored folk.
The production was intended to
be tragic; but it would have been
comic had it been cast in comic
vein. AS It was, it was simply
ridiculous. Two Of the old-timey
Negro field hands spoke with the
cultured voices and in the cultl-
waited language Of college post
graduates.
Negroes are natural-born ac-
tors. They should be used more
widely to take Negro parts.

Works Progress Administration for street repairs

ureS).
Thus we find three chief mo-
tives. The immediate one is
merely political. The various tax
proposals are designed to keep the
more radical following of the New
Deal Sweet" and to take the
wind out of the sails of Long and
Coughlin. Aside from that, they
raise new issue and keep up the
psychology of going somewhere"
In this connection, it should be
noted that taxation is bound to
raise serious constitutional issues,
and Mr.. Roosevelt has shown that
he wants to keep such issues alive.
A secondary motive is to make
an appearance of taking steps to
balance the budget. 1t will be
said that he is trying to raise
money to pay Government ex"
penses and wants to soak the
rich" for that purpose.
Then, back of these motives, is
the idea of social reform-eSpe-
cially the idea of redistributing
wealth.
If you will look back over the
last four years, you will see that
first we tried direct schemes for
redistributing incomes. There was
the high-wage policy. This was by
moratorium policies, debtor relief
policies, make-work policies, farm
benefits, and finally the "social
insurance" scheme.
Then we tried inflationary
schemes, and monetary manipula-
ton. Beginning with "easy
money" policies, we passed on to
-devaluation, silver buying, and
the Ecles banking bill.
These look toward a levy on
capital, since they mean that the
value of savings and fixed income
is necessarily reduced. When Mr..
Roosevelt ordered the four billion
dollars write-up on his seizure of
gold, he took that much away
from everybody who has any
money.
Now we find that not only
do we still have millions I'M
employed and a continuing
farm prOmblem, but also we
have run into the Constitution
all along the line. So the
Fuehrer turns to taxes. He
knows that he will run into the
Constitution again, but maybe
not until after November, 1896.
