They're Thinking of Jobs

/
Most OF this amusing conversion
probably can be attributed to O de-
sire TO hold onto Jobs. Federal en-
ployeS outside civil service who once
affected an air OF non partisan
aloofness are practically aS anxious
about their future employment as
those who landed on the payroll
as deserving democrats.
There are other cOnsldcrat lions,
however. Most radicals" prefer
Roosevelt 10 LandOn, believe they
would lose oil influence under o
republican administration even II
they were allowed 10 work In II,
and feel that the type Of prog.
ress" which they want 10 continue
would come NJ least temporarily
to an end II Landon were elected.
The more jealous they are In
their faith In new governmental
experiments and their desire for
fundamental changes, the less their
attitude toward the campaign Is
conditioned by the mere Job factor.
But two years ago, you just would
MT have believed II possible for such
o change TO come over them.
Blind Senator's Pass
There will DO no blind men, liter.
ally speaking, In the y. o. senate
next session.
Tom Cores primary defeat In
Oklahoma, following the death OF
Tom schail Of Minnesota, has re-
moved the two sightlesS senators.
Senator schalI was one Of the
earliest public figures 10 attack
the New Deal without reservations
and that was perhaps his out
standing claim % fame. But his
attacks were 30 indIscrImInate, 10
pOrly aimed, and 80 often In
elusive Of unprOVable charges that
they probably did the antl.New
Deal cause more harm than good.
At best, schall was very far from
being as helpful TO republicans as
men like Vandenberg Of Michigan,
who placed their shots well.
Gore Made Slips
Gore has been more effective,
aside from being recognized as the
senateS most accomplished wise
cracker.
He was voted out OF congress af-
ter he had opposed American entry
into the World War, and voted back
In 1880 by Oklahomans who appar-
entity felt that perhaps he had been
right.
But he had become conservative
and his oft.expressed contempt
for the New Deal just wasn't
enough 10 ren0minate him.
Nevertheless, the example OF
two blind men who fought their
way 10 the senate despite ire
mendouS handicaps will remain
an inspiration for other blind per-
sons.
There Is one blind member Of
the house, Matthew A. Dunn Of
Pittsburgh, former newsboy. He
became q newsdealer and an insur-
ance broker, served three terms In
the Pennsylvania legislature, and
was elected to congress In 1882.
Dunn Is q democrat.

ANOTHER PLAN WIPES
OUT NATIONAL DEBT

Another plan might be called
the Chicago University Plan be-
cause II 10 sponsored by o group OF
economists there. Under this plan
the government would take over the
Federal Reserve Banks.
The new bank would immedi-
ately buy up oil outstanding Fed
eral Reserve notes, The govern
inent would then own most Of its
bonds, thus almost wiping out the
national debt and saving hun-
dreds Of millions q year In inter-
est. The bondholdefS would have
cash instead.
Private bankers would then be
permitted TO form three kinds OF
banks. !. Deposit banks like
those advocated by Fisher. 2. In
vestments trusts which would ac-
ccpt long term savings and would
make oil long terms loans. 3. Credit
banks or associations which would
accept savings also and would make
short term loans.

HOW BANKS CREATE
BILLIONS or DOLLARS

This Is O point Of the greatest
Importance. The money Is ere.
ated by the banks. Here Ia O
bank with o million dollars In de-
posts. You borrow $1,000 from
that bank. The banker doesn't
give you $1,000 In cash. He mere
ly writes In your deposit book O
deposit OF $1,000. On the banks
books O deposit Of $1,000 to your
account Is entered. so now the
banks has deposits Of Si,00i 900 In
stead OF 100000. You may draw
that $1,000 out by giving O check
to another man, but he promptly
re.depositS In the same bank an
other one, 80 that the $1,000 or
newly created money remains as O
new deposit In your bank or some
other one. This ID the process by
which bank deposits arc created,
And II is with these deposits that
we do the business Of the nation.
This is called bank money, credit
money.
The banks have IL In their pow
er TO increase or decrease the
amount Of money by making or
calling loans. And this Is o power
which Father Coughlin, In common
with many other money reformers,
says the private bankers should
not possess. This power he wants
to take away from the banks and
vest In the government because no
says 1t Is o money making and
issuing function.
PERIL IN DISPARITY
OF MONEY AND DEPOSITS
This practice N criticized on an
other score. II Is called an ele-
inent Of great unsafety, responsible
for our countless bank crashes.
The money supposed to be In
our banks Is really not there.
When you have $1,000 In o bank,
you think Of II as being real
money which you can draw out
at will. 80, does everyone else
who has money In tho bank.
When you draw 1t out you want
real money, government money,
cash. But the banks are supposed
to have deposits Of 40 billion
dollars while there Is really less
than one-sixth that much money
In the whole country. When,
therefore, any large number OF
people want TO draw their money
ct the same time, the banks sim
ply don't have 1t.

ALCOHOL AND LIFE INSURANCE

1;f ;rsurance companies are doubtless in the
best position of any of us to answer the question:
recently asked in leading magazine, Is alcoholism
increasing"
According to the findings of one of the mld-wes-
tern companies excessive use of alcohol SHOWS an
increase of 13 per cen tsince year ago as cause
of uninsurability among people under 81, ana an
increase of 1873 per cent for the same age group
since 1882" ....., -,
II should be noted that the company does not
assert that there has been an increase IN the con-
sumption of alcoholic beverages but 1t does St@.e
uneouvocally that there has been that increase III
uninsurability because of excessive use OF
II is not illogical to deduc that there has oeeh
marked increase in drinking, from these facts'
The findings of this company indicate that the
greatest increase in drinking is among people 0e
tween the ages of 80 and As. Too many peoPie
have abused our young people with respect TO Vhe
use of LIQUOR but here are some figures when con-
clusiyey point out that people in early mlddle NE
are the real offenders
Il is also interesting to note that the company
finds that reflections of women for excessive al
coholic indulgence are negligible IN NUMBER we
ore nrone to make mental note when woman
drinks particularly in public place. because III
other times it was not done.
The consumption of liquors is unquestlonaDiy on
the increase although liquor disthlers have oeen
disappointed over the development OF their Ousl-
moss since the repeal of the amendment.
If the increase is to be halted it will be the re-
suit of an intensive campaign of education against
the practice That, coupled with the requirements
of employers who will refuse to employ those who
drink will soon swing the tendency in the other
observation-disclosures. 49,

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING"

Significant among the addresses made to the
AAA meeting recently was the warning OF Thomas
H. Beck, president of the Crowell Publishing Co.,
on the something for nothing" appeal that TOO
MANY advertisers are making to attract customers.
Newspaper advertising has been comparatively, out
not entirely, free from such appeals, mainly be-
cause publishers are subject to strict Interpretation
of the lottery laws. Magazines have carried more
than newspapers, but the prime vehicle for the lot
tery contest campaign has been the radio medium,
proof against postal regulation
Many such schemes, Mr.. Beck declared, have cost
more than the sales they produced. All reduce the
amount available for the legitimate advertising that
has built solid prosperity for hundreds OF nrms
Dealers in articles advertised by offering the Gus
toner chance for one lucky killing-one IN
millionaire no longer selling merchandise, but
distributing entry blanks. If half of what Mr. Beck
told the advertising agencies is true-and we be-
lev call of it is-a heavy responsibility to the pub
lie TO the client and to their own business of adj
vertsing is assumed by agencies which foster these
rainbow chasers.
There is no telling how many prospective buyers
of bread tires hosiery, etc, have angrlly thrown
down magazine or tuned out station which OIL
Tended their common sense with moronic contest
appeal.
Certainly the contests pile up the coupons, CIV
ing the advertiser the nucleus of mailing hsI
provided he has the time and the staff to put the
thing into workable shape. The solid old TACT re-
mains that mailing lists are not what the corner
grocer works from. He sells canned goods aii0
nackaoe cereals to neghbors, and ne keeps theh
trade bv stocking the goods they steadily call Tor
Tho L;rd of advertising Mr.. Beck criticized is
product of the depression, would not nave peer
tolerated by most media prior to 1879, ana shoui'
not be tolerated now.-Editor and Puohsher.
