One kind of germ that infects us is the
fallacy, which economists have long isolated
and called the '1ump-of-work" notion. 1t is
the notion that there is just so much work to
do, and that our only recourse is to divide it
up among the existing people.
Traces of this infection are to be found
both among laborers and among business men.

 TOPEKA HITLER

Jim Farley relates recent interesting experience at motion picture theatre. The picture of Pres- dent Roosevelt flashed the screen and there were cheers and jeers. bit later Governor Landon was revealed in the movie and again there was ap- plause and likewise hisses The film unfoded little further to show the two Presidential candidates sml- ing at each other at the recent midwest drought conference. The audience for a moment seemed abashed and then broke out in laughter sensing the absurdity of it's behavior.
 The absurdities of the present campaign are well typfed by MT. Fareys story. There are silly things in all campaigns and the present is exception
 It may be that the power of suggestion due to the dispatches from abroad have something to do with it. but throughout the land there is rowling and bowling that MT. Roosevelt is the head man of the Communists, getting orders from Moscow and equally abpRd and just loud, is the chant that MT. Landon represents the Fascist movement Pre- bably there is nothing farther from the truth
 The fact is that both gentlemen, and they are typical American gentlemen nominated to the highest office in the land, attempting to discuss what they consider the major issues of the campaign Some of us may not agree with what either or both say on subject but it does not follow that because of it. MT. Roosevelt is Communist and MT Landon a Fascist We do not hear either of the nominees espousing the causes of Communism or Fascism They are talking good sound American doctrine and it is probable that both are just little pained and em- barrassed by some of the support they are getting We have an idea that MT Landon is pleased at being labelled by Fascist cheftain than is MT Roosevelt at being singled out a Red leader Both charges are among the all-high absurdites of the campaign.
 When the cheers and the eers, the applause and misses have died out after November B. we will not find Hyde Park Stalin Topeka Hitler in the White House. Rather will find either MT. Roose- vet Democrat MT. Landon Republican

Debunking The Owl
(NeW York TimeS)

(New York Times)
 Some scientific gent in the Biological Survey takes the trouble to call the owl "a fool" How did so silly bird become emblem of Paas Athene and consequently of wisdom? The question has often been asked Some scholars have even suggested that in view of the essentially comic appearance of this fowl in spite of it's association with darkness and depreda tion and the fears of night its selection symbol of celestial sagacty must have been ironical
 Another and more satisfactory explanation is that the association of the fowl with Athehe is due to it's sharpness of sight The feathered owl the flea hered word 'keen-eyed which earlier schoolboys taught to translate "gray-eyed;' and is m appropriate attribute of the gods
 Presumably the owl has wisdom enough to con- duct it's business. Even if that wise old bird in the oak ("the more he heard the less he spoke) was reticient because he hadn't much to say he like all his tribe, dependable. And he was human. Like most of the rest of us when he did talk, he said the same thing and again.

UNDIVIDED PROFITS TAX

According to the liberal press of the nation Gov Ali M. Landon's attack at Buffalo on the undivided profits tax moved infnitesimal proportion of the voting population to tears The percentage of dry eyed listeners to his promise to repeal immediately" this equitable law would seem to have been almost at par
 This preponderance of disagreement with Gov ernor Landon's characterization of the statute as cockeyed attributed the circumstance that the act places the partnership and the individual on a parity with the corporation in paying income for the first time since Secretary Mellon removed the former excess profits tax aegedly because his own Aluminium Company of America was paying under it million dollars year.
 Editorial expressions in that portion of the press which is not violently antagonistc to President vets recovery program point the fact that without such tax even J. P. Morgan himself was actually ineligible to pay his income during at least two years. These commentators assert that the tax laws during the long Republican reign had been so dis emboweed as to deprive the privileged shareholders of large corporations even the right to pay tax.
 The concensus of this editorial opinion is that corporations have had no more right to lay up tax free reserves for future than had the individual Why, they ask would it not have been as reasonable and fair to have granted this immunity to the home> owner who actually wanted to repair or enlarge his home, or erect COW barn or install silo? And as
 
 mitted great corporate structures including holding companies with no for existence why could not the head of family be allowed to accumulate modest reserves for payment annuities?
 These seem to be inquiries which Governor Lan- don might find it inconvenent to answer off hand and the crew of advisers sent to Topeka ov the Old Guard chieftains would be equally stumped Their assurances to the candidate that American business was built up by blowing in profits" as he told his hoo in pf.ff oln c the other assertions he made that night Mosc peo- pie who read newspapers have realized for years that American business built up by selling stocks and bonds to the public, practice which continued in vogue until the escape from taxation was afforded by immunity on reserved surpluses.
 With this familiar dodge disposed of by the Reye- Act of 1886, the sale of shares can be resumed and financial writers confidently predict in increas ing volume.

This Word Planning"
Cincinnati Enquirer)

(Clnclnnatl EnQurer)
 It has always been handicap of social scientists that their nomenclature has been vague The vocabu- larly of economics has been shifting and plain words have not the meaning for all men, In politics. it is worse. This has brought contemporary political discussion to low level because all are talking the language. Nowhere is the confusion greater than in connection with the term planning" Usu- ally it is confused with regimentation this has discredited the entire concept of public planning, which everyone a few years ago recognized as de- sirable and inevitable
 The extensive and intelligent use of public plan Ting does not mean planned economy" And it certainly does not mean regimentation under an autocratic government Actually, public planning used than most persons realize without cramp ing anybody's liberty.
 It is becoming plain that agriculture will be com pletely demoralized and the country's capacity to feed its people will be injured beyond repair if we continue to waste natural resources for another 75 years in the spirit of the past Careful investigators find that erosion by wind and water is destroying farmland at rate which will put America into the grim position of China in three generations.
 No conceivable dissemination of knowledge will remedy this, unless it is backed up by orderly tional plan enforced by law to govern the use of land and water resources. Both political parties em brace this broad principle It is not controversial issue. The only dispute is as to just how we must proceed.
 something decisive should be done to iron out the extreme fluctuations of business activity which have halted progress often and painfully. This may involve establishment of effective controls over the rate of investment and the level of prices in general (not individual prces). But while this may be des crbed economic planning, it is not regimentation, such intended in the National Recovery Act.
 Planning is simply the intelligent use of re- sources and the orderly manipulation of those fac tors which lie at the center of the economic system Undeniably it involves the extension of the powers of government in respects. Most of those tensions had been attempted, at least long before the depression and the New Deal In the perfectly natural resentment that has developed against the idea of regmentation, therefore, should not make the mistake of condemning the idea of public plan ming. For without it cannot hope to improve per manenty the standard of life in America.
