Mistaken Theory.

President Roosevelt believes that pros
perity for the agrarian population of the
United States inevitably will mean pros
perity for the urban population. In a
recent address he said:
The very existence of the men and
women working in the clothing factories
of New York, making clothes worn by
farmers and their families: of the work.
ers in the steel mills in Pittsburgh, in
the automobile factories of Detroit, and
in the harvester factories Of Illinois de-
pendS upon the farmers ability to pur-
chase the commodities they produce. In
the same way it is the purchasing power
of the workers in these factories in the
cities that enables them and their wives
and children to eat more beef more pork,
more wheat, more corn, more fruit and
more dairy products, and to buy more
Clothing made from cotton, wool and
leather. In physical and property
sense, as well as in spiritual sense, we
are members one of another.
But the theory so expounded is not as
meritorious as it may seem. 1t leaves
out of account certain factors which
cannot be ignored, and it supposes an
equitable relation which never has and
never will exist. For example, there are
thirty million persons living on farms
in the United States and something like
one hundred million persons living in
cities and towns. Logically, then, Mr.
Roosevelt's argument is an inverted pyra-
mid. He appears to imagine that good
times for three citizens in the corn
belt would signify good times" for ten
citizens elsewhere. Yet, of course, it is
only by inference that he says that. The
nearest he ever comes to an exact state
ment of his philosophy is to be found
in the opinion: The maintenance of a
fair equilibrium between farm prices and
the prices of industrial products is an
aim which we must keep ever before u.s."
The President does not define his
terms Hence, the public, urban and
suburban alike, is left in doubt about
what he has in mind when he uses the
phrase, "a fair equilibrium" Perhaps, as
in the past, he puts his faith in subsidies
granted by the Government at the ex-
PSAiSo Va oiA eoApdycIS, perhaps ue ell
tertains some new notion. The vital fact
which he does not mention is that during
the seventy years since the Civil War
the United States has ceased to be pre-
dominantly agricultural and has become
predominantly industrial 1t follows that
the heavy-goods industries must recover
before agriculture can BOOM The con-
trary idea is what Gov. Landon con-
siders "cock-eyed" And Mr.. Roosevelt
momentarily agreed with that Judgment
when he referred to the N. R. A. as the
keystone of the arch OF recovery" The
A. A. A. originally was not intended to
support the entire economic structure
OF the Nation. 1t was only after the
Supreme Court threw Gen. Johnson's
portion of the New Deal out Of the win
dow that the President stopped to pitting
the "hicks" against the city slickers."
The device possibly may be politically
expedient, but historically it will be re-
garded as. violation of the truth. 1t
simply is ridiculous to suppose that
thirty million people ever will be able
to earn or to spend enough to guarantee
prosperity for one hundred million
people.

"HOme Work.

New York's public schools are OPEN
ing the new year with plan for elm
ination of home work" as known in
the past and the substitution of assign
ments designed more to stimulate the
pupil to original work. Here in Wash
ington the Board of Education has de-
cided to continue the supervised study"
experiment involving the elimination
of home work which was begun
last Spring in Anacostia Junior High
School, In cities all over the land
there is recurrent evidence of re-
volt by parents against the type of
home work which has accompanied de-
velopment of mass education in the pub
lie schools.
The protest may be, in part, illogical.
Preparation for class work is an essen
tial part of scholastic education and 1t
is impossible to substitute a course
of lectures in place of recitals in the
elementary schools or otherwise to ex-
pect the teachers to assume all the re-
sponsibility for the pupils progress. But
If preparation of the next days work
and the cultivation of proper study
habits are the objectives of home work
there Is merit in the contention that
part of the school day could well be de-
voted to both. The pupils would GER
tainly be more apt to receive wise guild
ance in study habits, under trained
teachers. than they do now under the
varying environment of their homes.
Under any conditions, the failure by
some teachers to coordinate between
them the amount Of home work to be
assigned is harmful and it is this fall
ure that often leads parents to protest.
When the algebra teacher, the history
teacher, the science teacher and the
English teacher are at the same time in
spired to assign heavy tasks for home
work, the result is to bewilder and
overburden the children. Certainly
there should be a logical coordination
of assigned home work.

been considered as strongly Republican
as Maine, and those States voted Demo-
cratic four years ago, and again in 1894,
in the congressional and gubernatorial
elections. Take Iowa, for example, or
Illinois. If the swing back to Republi-
canism is on, as shown in Maine, there
may be reason to believe that these other
strongly Republican States may be found
again supporting the G. O. P. national
ticket.
Lewis o. Barrows, Republican Gov
ernor-elect of Maine, defeated Dubord,
his Democratic opponent, by $4,000 votes.
This is more than a normal Republican
majority in a Maine State election.
Dubord, running against Senator Fred
Hale two years ago for the Upper House,
lost only by 1000 votes, while Brann was
being elected Governor over his Re-
publican opponent by $4,000. And Brann
was defeated Monday by White by 5000
votes. There seems no way out Of the
fact that the Republicans have recov-
cred great deal of lost ground in Maine.
Gov Brann has told Chairman Farley
that he is at the disposal of the Demo-
cratic Campaign Committee, ready to
speak for the reelection of President
Roosevelt. During the Maine campaign
Brann kept as far away from the New
Deal as he could, believing that 1t was
not good politics for him to tie up to
President Roosevelt In his home State.
Dubord, the Democratic candidate for
Governor. on the other hand, strongly
advocated the New Deal during his whole
campaign. Brann lost by only 5000 votes
and Dubord by 1900. The Republicans
say that the moral Of this story is that
Democratic candidates who stand closest
to the New Deal President are having the
toughest time. That may be true In

readily gave it up to see the big

Good Service And
Reasonable Prices
Guaranteed Tourists

Dallas, Texas, July 2,-Parking
rates from five cents an hour to
% cents a day, tourist caravan
camping spots from nothing a day
up and regulation tourist camps
from $3.50 a night up for a couple.
That's what the tourist to Texas
finds and with the $25, 0,000 Texas
Centennial Exposition on in full
swing. the travel trend is to the
LCne Star State.
The thousands of motorists COM
ing here for the first Worlds Fair
OF the Southwest are experiencing
no difficulty in finding quarters
for themselves and their cars. In
addition to an abundance of CARA
ges, there are many parking lots
in the immediate vicinity of the
20O-acre exposition inclosure. ALI
day parking fees range from 10
cents to % cents and motorists
are taking advantage of these low
rates in great numbers.
Tourist camps for the "tin-can"
caravans have sprung up like vii
lagos on the outskirts Of Dallas
to take care of Centennial EXposi-
ton visitors. Most of these are
thoroughly modern in design and
equipment, supplying running hot
and cold water, private bathrooms
with showers and really comfort
able accommodations in hygenio
surroundings. Many Of the camps
have electrical facilities for those
who prefer to live in their trailers.
Although Dallas is crowded with
motorists from throughout the
nation, traffic is being handled
with a minimum of new and special
regulations. A few streets in the
Centennial Exposition area have
been made One-way thodough-
fares, but the three-light system,
the amber caution light accompani-
ed by the ringing of bell has
served to keep traffic moving with
out need of much assistance from
traffic officers.
In the Dallas business district,
visitors have found the parking
meters of great convenience. For
five cents an hour motorists get un-
disturbed possession of a parking
space near all hotels and shops,
without necessity of travelling for
blocks to locate an open spot.
