Many observers thought DR.. Carothers

The Republican committee, in Sc

fest that the committee thinks they
are the best to be had in the profess
sorial line.
The Liberty League, however. is the
first of the anti-New Deal organiza-
tions that got the idea that the way
to meet the New Deal professors and
their plans was to get other profess
sors with different plans. Headed by
DR.. Neil Carothers, Southern born but
now with Lehigh University, it has
q most imposing list of professors on
its staff. They have written and
spoken reams about the Roosevelt
revolution, the danger Of monetary

understood to have gotten, profess

over the country long before-Prof.
Rexford Tugwell, for instance.
That the campaign will not pro-
ceed wholly on academic lines, how
ever, Is indicated by some Of the re.
cent speeches. One recently made
by New Deal spellbinder had such
references as diamond bedecked
women" The diamond bedecked

type who are against the New Deal.

RY CARLISLE BARGERON.

Although Postmaster General Far
ley recently said it was going to be
a dirty campaign there are indica-
tions that it will be on high, pro-
fessorial plane, or at least blend.
1t develops that the Republican
National Committee is bringing on
bunch of professors. Just how many,
they won't say. Neither will they
disclose their identity. The impress
sion is. in fact, that they don't intend
to make any fuss over them at all,
but within a few weeks the professors
will be up in the Barr Building for
the public to see. and the assurance
is given that they are the most out
standing professors in the country.
The professors. it seems. are to
take over entirely the committees
bureau of research which until re-
Gently was manned by Bennett Cor
don, who died. They are to write
pamphlets and make speeches. 1t is
believed that at least Is professors
are to serve on full-time basis with
the committee here. while ary num-
ber of other professors are to be
subject to call.
Two-F0ld Program.
There seems to be little doubt.
from the way the committee proudly
talks about its professors unofdcially.
that it is out to out-do both the New
Deal and the Liberty League. which,
although in the business of defeating
Mr.. Roosevelt, just as is the commit
tee, the committee doesn't particularly
like.

FULLER LEARNING

Superintendent H. A. Petersen of
the Tyler schools and former super
intendent of the Askov school, accord
ing to the Tyler Herald, has compiled
statistics showing that One-third OF
the students, who have ever attended
that school, continued in school. He
likewise praises the mission of other
schools that teach practical subjects
such as cooking, homemaking, prac-
teal nursing, child care, sewing, in
terror decorating and dozens of other
duties of the housewife for the girls,
and blacksmithing courses, agricul-
ture, mechanics and other practical
vocations for the boys.
If but about one-third of the pupils
who have attended the Tyler schools
have gone on in school, it is per-
haps safe to say that perhaps about
that same ratio will hold good
throughout other school systems.
Even if one-half, as an average, do not
go on to school, this would be suffici-
ent reason to advocate practical
courses in every school to benefit
those who get their elementary learn
ing and then leave to hew out their
livelihood as best they can with the
weapons they have acquired during
that short school training.
Wouldn't it be better if the girls
could know the fundamentals of
housekeeping and homemaking and
wouldn't the boys be better men on
the farm and in the village if they
knew something of the practical side
of life? If the practical courses are
taught, such as were enumerated
above, this training should give them
a foundation from which they could
build to better their otherwise handi
capped standing among their fellows.
Book learning is necessary and by
all means this should not be sighted,
but algebra will do the child very
little good in later life unless he goes
on in school and acquires technical
training.
To install these courses in schools
possibly will cost more than many
school districts can now afford, even
though that cost is not great, but
the whole idea has been talked of in
almost every school system at one
time or another and it is a good thing
to work toward. 1t can make better
citizens out of our large percentage
of children who do not go on to fields
of higher learning and it will more
fully serve all.

Island, turns half of it over to the
English government, and pays Uncle
Sam not a nickel of it! The lions
share of this is in ground rents which
the people of New York created, and
not Lady Astor If all New Workers
should follow the example of my
LADY, and move to England, and no.
body took their places, the island
would be worth what it was bought
from the Indians for-$16 and bottle
of rum!
Your correspondent says the gov
eminent had no right to sell the land
in the first place, this natural element
being the birthright of all the people,
to each generation in it's turn. But
every deed-the reserved right to
take a portion of its annual value
(rent) for public expenses; and no
limit fixed! This being the case,
there is (strictly speaking) no such
thing as absolute property in land
If anyone thinks otherwise, let him
refuse to pay such annual charges
as the government chose to assess
against his land and see what be-
comes of it.
This depression was brought about
in the same way that all previous de-
pressiOns were brought about-by
land speculation. Give us a little i'm
provement in business, and land
booming will begin again; rents will
be pushed up to a point industry
cannot afford to pay and history will
repeat itself. The remedy is obvious,
make the spectators pay as much
for holding idle as users pay for US
ing, like the hotels do with their out
all-night customers, and you will
never have another depression. Hard
on the spectators, you think? Bet
ter be hard on them than on the mil
lions of unemployed men and women
whose children would starve except
for charity! Besides they have had
fair warning. The followers of Henry
George have been warning them for
SO years that the time is coming
when their "easy money" operations
will have to stop, and the time is
almost now. For as Victor Hugo said,
only one thing is stronger than armies
and that is an idea whose time has
come.

VOICE FROM TEXAS

Editor Askov American:
A friend in Alabama sent me a
clipping of your journal containing
a letter on Meath the Thinking Cap"
in regard to which | ask permission
to add few thoughts. The writer
of the letter in question is Ludwig
Mosbak, who writes an extremely in
teresting letter and deplores bis lack
of education. He need not do So for
his letter shows him to be better edu-
Gated than many a college graduate
Mr.. Gladstone once said that he al
ways found that working men with
only a common school education had
better grasp of public questions
than the college men. The explana-
ton is simple-college men have a
high generation for authorities"
while the common people, not know
ing the authorities" have to learn
how to think for themselves.
With what your correspondent says
about Government" and Taxes" 1
heartily agree. We are supposed to
be self-governed, and therefore the
politicians who hold office are not
our masters, as the word government
suggests, but public servants. If the
people would only remember that
when office-holders come home for
reelection, it would be better for all
concerned. AS for taxes now being
imposed ('imposed" is the right word,
for it is an fmposition) there is no
excuse for them, since the natural
revenue is the unearned increment
and is sufficient, for in this country
it is said to amount to $4,000 200, 900
annually. Lady Astor is said to carry
off 100000 daily from Manhattan

FOR INCOME TAX
ASkOy American.

Editor ASkOv American:
A few years ago we read in the
papers that five per cent of the peo-
pie were the owners of 80 per cent
of the wealth, now we read that it
has changed to be smaller per cent
of the people, but 95 per cent of the
wealth; and that change took place
during the last few years of the So
called reform legislation. So it is
getting worse instead of better. What
can be expected when the few can
draw profit out of 95 per cent of the
wealth, as they are bound to do when
they are the owners and controllers
of it? Nothing has been done to pre-
vent that
1t is claimed that business is bet
ter, and for some people it is. The
government borrowed money, and that
is added to the alreay too large debt.
The people as a whole can no more
become better off by living on Dor
rowed money than a family can. l
used to know a family having a
mortgage on their farm, and was so
poor they could not pay their debts
and get living; then they found a
place where they could borrow enough
to pay up that mortgage and other
debts and a little to live on for a
short time, but when the interest
should be paid, they were worse off
than ever before; and the people in
the United States will find themselves
in the same condition
Business is better than it was be-
fore the United States borrowed the
billions of dollars, the same as it was
for that family when living on bor-
rowed money, but where shall the
money come from to pay it back,
