BY ANONYMOUS
I am wondering tonight just
how much chance there is in this
city for a woman and child living
alone.
For II years I have lived in a
small cottage here which was
owned by my husband and by his
people before him. For eight of
those years, since the death Of my
husband, I have lived alone. I pay
my taxes and obey the laws, as
did my husband. We try to teach
the child what it is to be a good
citizen, but we find that part very
difficult. There has scarcely been
a time when the windows of his
playroom did not look out upon
panorama of law violation of one
sort or another. We're not sup
posed to be in the red-light dis
trict, but we are-howbeit, by
standing on tiptoe, we can see the
Governors mansion. This is not
his fault. He doesn't know. I
almost wish the fumes from the
house of the bootlegger in our
neighborhod would go a little far
ther and reach him. He'd have
ways to put an end to it. We seem
not to have.
Yes, I have reported it. Not to
the city police f1rst-this time.
Once before we had a similar diff
f1culty in another direction and
they did nothing. SO we tried the
Federal representatives of the, De-
partment of the Treasury. They
thought we we're amusing our
selves. When I asked if certain
other data would be of value to
them in their investigation, the

Though outside fierce winds may

In that great bosom I'm safe de-

The storms that rage outside to-

Within there's peace and fires that

And the love that shields us from
life's storm.
Love-there must rule though skies

In his kingdom, the home-for aye

an article in your paper Feb. ID,
in which the Republican minority
in the House of Representatives de-
mands a 10 per cent cut in all state
employees wages.
I wonder if they would be so in
sistent if Republican workers were
still on the state pay roll? Doesn't
this seem one of the cheapest forms
Of revenge the Republicans could
strive to effect?
At one of our largest state insti-
buttons, located in this city, there
are plumbers, steamfitters, car
penters, painters, firemen, timers,
etc, working for an average salary
of &c to 80 cents an hour At least
so per cent of these tradesmen are.
or have been, members of labor
unions, demanding from IS cents 10
S125 an hour, but, because Of the
depression, they have been forced
to do this work at a much lower
wage.
How can any clear thinking
citizen honestly be in favor of cut
ting these menS wages still more?
All ready, during the last two years,
they have taken two 10 per cent
cuts. Of course, this happened aft
er the Republican regime was re-
placed.
These Republican representatives,
receiving $40 day for chewing the
rag" have the audacity to suggest
balancing the budget by cutting the
salaries Of men who, at this mo-
ment, are receiving scarcely a liy-
ing wage. I can not believe that
this would be an intelligent solu-
ton Of the problem.

agent speaking with us, said, with
a sheer: We'll, you might get it.
1t will be a pastime for you"
1t was a relief to try the police.
At first hopefully-for we we're re-
ceived with courtesy. And yet
we'll, that had happened before
and nothing more. 1t has been
the case again. 1 do not know
just where along the line their
investigation Of there really was
an investigations has been held up.
1 have no redress. Tonight I
telephoned that for three nights
the air has been so foul that the
child has been unable to sleep.
Our little house gets most Of this,
although plenty of the neighbors
ask about these things, too.
I'd like to sign my name to this.
I hate anonymity. And yet-look
here-Where is our protection
coming from if they take a notion
to make it worse for us than it is?
If some one, reading this, hav-
ing some influence, might care to
use it in our behalf, I should be
so willing to give to HIM or to her
enough evidence to make the JUS
tice of my complaint clear. I can
not sell my home-nor can I have
my child i'll. He has slept all vim
ter with the window down to keep
out this recurring stencil. For all
his young life he's seen the law
defied, and, to top it off, those
who represent the law indifferent
to its enforcement.

city for a woman and child living

greater bears had enough sense to
take the case and let the lesser bears
and the mass hold the sack paper
profits which resulted in much
tears The prosperity that pre-
vailed during the war and on up I'M
til 1929 was propelled or powered by
the wealthy because for every dol

instances, received from so to 500
per cent profit.
The wise boys, foreseeing a de-
moralized Europe, would come back

the sheep mot Europeon Sheep and
then took them to the cleaners, rich

fewer hands and the NRA has
knocked off still more small business.
7 don't believe that I am a Com
munist or a Red, for I believe we
have the fairest form Of govern
ment among the civilized nations of
the earth, but it is still only form.
Get this and take it for what it is
worth. AS long as the wealthy in
terests, whether anonymously or
otherwise, can back any man for an
Office, whether locally small or ma
tionally great, the interest that put
that politician in Office will be
served first, no matter how much
money is put out by the govern
ment The rich man is not putting
out any more than he has to. The
banks are not, either, for they have
had their orders from the great
bears who are not going to risk any
more than they have to. No matter
what party is in, the interests Of
the great bears will be served for
the great bears are the government.

THOUGHT THROTTLED

DROF HERMANN ONCKEN, historian of
Berlin University. has been ordered by the
Man government to discontinue a course Of
lectures he has been giving to university stu
dents this winter.
The reason is that he had the temerity to
put on history an Interpretation different from
the official Nazi version. That is, he denied
that the course Of history supports the the
Dries which Nazi leaders profess to find in it.
A dictatorial government can not permit
that 1t can permit the publication of only
a certain kind Of truth-its own kind.

ACTION SHOULD BE
SPEEDED ON PENSION

By william Rupert
Why can't the present Legislature
make some appropriations for old
age pensions payable April l. If
anything is an emergency case this
is. Some have scarcely enough to
eat or enough fuel to keep them
warm. Such people can only exist
by begging. We only ask SIS 10 $50
month according to ones needs.
Now let every old person ard every
other person who would like to help
improve the old-age pension law
write a card to your legislators, and
you will be doing the helpless, old
people favor.
