TRAINING FOR EFFICIENCY
DoSadaua Star-NeWS

Men and women should be trained in gov
ernmental efficiency; trained in the technical
aspects of government; trained to DO eXpertly
in government what persons in successful
private business and industry are trained to DO
eXpertly.
The time has come to institute and carry
on definite specific, systematic training IN gov
ernment-scientific training, based upon sound
sense and judicious practice. 1t has been pro-
posed to establish a great university TO give
scientific training in the principles and the
technique of government. There should be, net
merely one, but several universities OF this KIND
scattered throughout the land.
Government suffers in efficiency by having
men elected or selected to office who have had
no practical experience in government; who
are woefully uninforTned on technical phases
of government and who have to spend much
time and effort to become even familiar with
governmental operations 1t is much like it would
be to turn loose in the drug stores of the COM
munity groups of men who have taken no course
in pharmacy and yet expect them to compound
drugs and fill prescriptions with EXPERIENCES. This
cannot be done; neither can government, which
is a very intricate and difficult business be
conducted successfully by theorists amateurs
and those without training in governmental af-
fairs and activities.

ED FORESTER CROSSES
NEW FRONTIERS.

If there is any semblance of earthly
form and spirit remaining in the place
to which Edward Everett Forester has
gone, his paradise will be unbroken land
in a country where there are no limits
to the horizon, and where frontiers
never end. He would have liked it so.
1t is hard for his friends to realize
that Whispering Ed" will not walk
among them again. He was not the kind
who becomes bowed with age, or who
feels that life is done when the years
have passed an allotted number His
spirit and his mind were always young
Perhaps that is why the name of Whis--
pering Ed is craven in the history OF
Imperial Valley in a writing time can
not obliterate.
Tall. straight and virile, Whisper
ing Ed Forester was legendary
figure even in life. The best traditions
of his native south were imbedded in his
nature. He was like the men who drove
OK wagons over the Oregon trail, or
scattered raiding Apaches along the
southwestern frontiers. He needed room
for his stature. and found the room he
needed only on the frontiers.
There can be no greater tribute to
Whispering Ed Forester than the grief
felt by his friends at his passing. 1t is
not the grief felt for one who has died,
but for the loss of friend in this life.
Those who knew him know now that
Whispering Ed must at last have found
q place where every mans word is as
GOOD as his own. where every hand
Shake is a firm grip Of friendship, and
where there are no fences pennlng IN the
horizon.

NEW YORK.-The majority of
public men shy away from discus
sion of the Townsend plan. Near
w every public man of consequence
opposes it.
In the financial world, Colonel
Leonard P. Ayres, widely-publicized
economist of the Cleveland Trust
company, now steps forward with
an ANALYSIS that the business world
hopes the people will understand.
Here it is:
IF the Townsend plan had been
in effect in 1885, the average income
of all Americans over go years of age
would have been something over
2.4O0 dollars, but the average income
of all those younger than 90 would
have been about 211 dollars. These
figures are based On the assumption
that The total national income Woul1
have been last year about what 1t
actually was.
THE assumption is that the total
national income is all that there Is
to be divided up among us, and this
is clearly fair and just basis for es-

prosperous years, even if proponents
of the plan may claim that its OPP
GRAFTON would Go away with depres-
sions.
IF we consider what the national
income has actually been annually
during the Sc years since 1880, and
assume that under the Townsend
plan all persons over so would have
received 2,400 dollars a year, aid
that all remaining income would
have been divided among all those
under 60, we may compute what the

By RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON is some
thing almost pathetic about the
administration crowds yearning to
challenge the U. S. Supreme Court
and make the tribunals decisions a
campaign issue. The New Dealers
are moaning and groaning because
they just don't dare-yet.
President Roosevelt decided to let
the issue ride for awhile. He IS be-
lieyed to have assumed that the Wlde
sweep of the AAA decision read by
Justice Roberts meant the annlhil-
alton of the Guffey coal act, iva,
Wagner labor act, Social Security,
ard everything else on the New Deal
list
After awhile his constituency
might get fed up with the supreme
court and summon itself to a loud
souawk. Meanwhile, he has made 1t
evident that he wouldn't burn lis

yen to go charging into the arena
to advance the belief that the con-

court has asserted an unprecedented
usurpation of power and an unWar-
ranted political prejudice against all
NeaW Deal measures.
Yet in practically every case G.
senators, representatives, official
poiiticos, and brain trusters-the
fact is admitted or deplored that the
voters aren't educated" up to the
New Dealers point of view. The
New Dealers contend the court votes

vet they admit that the people at
large stand in awe and reverence
of a supreme court majority as
something sanctified and deified.
SO there the administration
stands, tense and alert, waiting for
indication that public opinion has
reached the point where Congress
can be persuaded to pass law that

Roosevelt can safely suggest that the

At the same time he wrote a long
letter to Cardinal Gibbons, explaining
fully the canonical situation from
Father McGlynns viewpoint. For
reasons which seemed good, Cardinal
Gibbons did not present either the
cablegram or the letter to the Roman
authorities, contenting himself with
an oral statement of their contents.
Failing to receive any written reply
from Father McGlynn, the Pope
ordered him TO come to Rome within
40 days under penalty Of excommuni-
cation Holding that he had been
guilty of no contumacy, and unaware

$4,000 Destitute Farmers
Get Jobs on WPA Projects
By A. F. of L. News Service.

The militant manner in which
the works progress administration is
relieving the distress among farmers
in the drought-stricken states is re-
vealed in figures given out by Aubrey
Williams, deputy works progress ad-
ministrator, that $4,000 impoverished
farmers in North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Montana, Wyoming and Mime
sofa have been given employment on
about $50 water conservation projects.
In addition to these figures, the
WPA announced that 1000 destitute
farmers in Colorado would receive inn
mediate employment and that work
would be provided for about 10000
in drought areas in Southeastern
States.
