IF-AND-WHEN INCOME

NNE thing to keep in mind about the Administra-
~ ton tax program is that the maximum yield
expected would be only enough to replace revenue
nine years the cost of cashing the veterans bonus
certificates this year.
In other words its fiscal purpose is merely to re-
store that balance which the President claimed for
the ordinary Federal budget when he submitted it
to Congress in January 1t is not designed to raise
any money whatever to pay for relief Which means
that the government next year will have to borrow
about three billion dolars-a sizeable addition to the
public debt
The Administrators fiscal theory is that higher
tax rates are not necessary that the existing tax
structure will produce six seven billions when
business returns to the 1929 volume, which would
be more than enough to balance the complete Fed
eral budget, because with business back to that
level relief costs would be much smaller.
It's comforting thought because nobody wants
to pay higher taxes, and indeed the current squirt
in income tax collections is encouraging. But it
hardly prudent to base national fiscal policy
upon f-and-when hypothesis, especially IN view
of the fact that relief costs have not declined in the
Far saner, we believe, is the suggestion of Sena-
tor La Toilette that we begin paying part of our
relief bill in cash. And much more straightforward
is the Senator's insistence that the government go
after additional revenue on strict ability o-pay
basis, broadening the income tax base to bring more
peonle into the class of conscious taxpayers and
graduating the rates upward from the bottom to
the top.

THE GREAT BETRAYAL

nF the % million young Americans out of school
~ between the ages of 16 and a. three millions are
Jobess through fault of their own. Many more
engaged in part-time jobs so meager and mean
ingess as to cause generalization almost as vicious
as unemployment.
What of this generation of youngsters, its hopes
and dreams, its powers for good. its menaceP
Last summer Miss Maxine Davis, an able Journal
ist set out to study young America in Cities towns,
villages and farms from coast to coast. What she
found should nightly concern those who rule this
republic for upon the sanity, faith and ideasm of
its youth depends the very survival of democratic
institutions in the new world.
Miss Davis found them singularly patient.
1--WE never found revolt" she writes in her book,
"The Lost Generation"
1--WE found nothing but meek acceptance of the
fate melted out to them, and blind belief in be-
nign future based nothing but wishful thinking"
Communism never Americanized, has left them
all but untouched Fascism is equally alien and lacks
an inspiring leader. The New Deal with its tran
sient camps CCC and Youth Administration, as
made sincere efforts at relief but these have not
gun to meet the problem.

our democracy fails to provide these millions of
young people with honorable work. INSCRIPTIONS
demagogues will find them ripe for beguilement.
In view of the success OF Stain, Mussolini and
Hitler, America not be complacent. Revolutions
in those three countries could have been won
without the yeast of betrayed and restless youth.
Miss Davis poses what is perhaps the most seri-
Gus problem today in America.

real estate owners and discourage localities now
emerging from delinquency and bankruptcy.
These states and local governments now are caring
for 100000 unemployabes and are spending SO
per cent more than they did for relief in 1882.
Grand this is the crux of the Presidents mes
sage-private industry step in and help the

Even lacking the NRA for self-regulation and
planning industries can pillow more of their new
profits back into jobs and pay rolls. They can
shorten hours and employ more workers. AS the
President points out the antitrust laws do not stop
employers from banding together to increase pro-
duction and employment That is the very opposite
of restraint of trade.

put and employment; and urge industry to accept
this responsibility. present this problem and
this opportunity definitely to the managers of pr-
vate business and offer in aid of it's solution the
cooperation of all the appropriate departments
and agencies of the Federal government.
MY appeal is to the thinking men who are as
sured of their daily bread. However we may divide
along the lines of economic or political faith, all
right-minded Americans have common stake in
extending production in increasing employment, and
in getting away from the burdens of relief.
Those who believe that government may be
compelled to assume greater responsibilities in the
operation of industrial system can make no valid
objection to renewed effort on the part of private
enterprise to insure livelihood to all willing work.

Sheet and gully erosion already have destroyed
100 million acres of former farmands. When the

surface growth to hold them back; the eroded soil
has filled reservoirs and river bottoms; the floods
spread at will cities and towns.
Recently Dr. Frank B. Howe of Cornell made
report of his experiments the effects of floods in
New York State. He found that $4,000 gallons of
rain fell on one acre in 1881 On an acre planted
to corn 1900 gallons off at once; on an acre
planted to good meadow crop only 1000 gallons ran
off. From the land 20 per cent of the water
ran away; on the meadow only per cent.

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ

nNE of the most promising fields
" of science is that of the psy-
chology Of the pre-school child.
Many authorities feel that discov-
cries may reasonably be expected in
this field which will prove as i'm
portant to the future welfare of
mankind as some of the great med
lcal discoveries of the past.
Investigators in the field realize
that their work will eventually have
a three-fold influence upon child
health, upon mental hygiene and
upon education.
One of the earlieSt-known child
studies was made in 1871 by Tiede-
mann who kept careful observations
of his infant child. But the scien-
tific study of children did not be-
gin until the latter part of the
Nineteenth century when Preyer in
Germany and Shinn in this country
encouraged a large group of par
ents to keep accurate records of
their children. Another great pio-
neer in this field was G.. Stanley
Hall.
Three great leaders in the twen-
tieth century study of infant psy-
chology have been Alfred Binet,
author of the famous intelligence
tests; DR.. Edward L. Thorndyke.
great psychologist and educator,
and Dr. John B. Watson, founder
of the school of behaviorism.
AS DR.. Lois Hayden Meek points
out, it is now recognized that the
first six years of life are the years
of greatest change and develop
ment in the life of an individual.

housing problem as too expensive

tract for about 5000 worth of goods
that other men make-or would
like to make if their factories would
employ them. Multiply me by 10
million and you will need a lot of
labor to produce goods for our de-
mands. When we all get to work
we will eat more than the farmers
of this nation can produce. Then,
too, when we become possessed of
these desired goods, our taxes will
increase, the state revenue-not to
mention the millions Of dollars in
sales taxes and the like while we
are acquiring the goods.
But if we are employed regularly
with definite guarantee of so much

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT asking Congress for
i s15ooO0O0OO more to carry the relief load

for policy that is becoming more and more irksome

100000 of budgeed funds for CCC and certain public
works projects-a total of s3oOOO0ooO for the fiscal

the current year. We now spending $3,50oo00-

lighter. Some five million people are at work

How can the Federal government care for these

Well, it could "liquidate" large numbers of the

APPROVES PLAN TO END
u. S. UNEMPLOYMENT

BY Pat Hogan
The plan of H. L. S. to force the
j6bless back into industry as out
lined in the Hoosier Forum, March
10, is the best solution that has
been conceived in the United States
in the last four years. This plan
would not only wipe out unemploy-
ment; it would abolish the dole; it
would bring back prosperity; it
would bring the American people
into their just right of decent,
comfortable living; put industry on
profitable basis; take care of the
farmer; the mortgage-laden home
owner. In a word, it would abolish
the whole relief problem with it's
costly and complex agencies and
return the confidence of the Amer
lean people.
