Who is John Maynard Keynes?
He is an Englishman, So years old
at present, Cambridge man and
son of an economist. After hav-

career, I would describe him as
the English Tugwell, and I gather
that our own right-hand economist

ideas from Mr.. Keynes. Both are
the supreme egoiSts. Nobody be-
fore them has known anything.
They know all and they are going
out to make over the world.
TugWell once said, Everybody is
wrong but me-" and he made a
mistake there. He should have
said, me and Keynes"
DR.. Tugwell is a Columbia pro-
fessor, and DR.. Keynes is a Cam
bridge professor. Keynes broke
into the limelight in 1919 with his
book, THE Economic Conse-
quences of the Peace" and since
then has been making a desperate
effort to keep in it perpetually.

Personally, my prospects seemed

January 3 fell on a Sunday.
Shortly thereafter the Senate
passed resolution for Congress
to meet January 4.
Evidently the House of Repre-
sentativeS thought it was too much
to expect the members to be
dragged away from their families
on Sunday to travel here so the
resolution was amended to put the
date on January 5, Tuesday.
It looks like somebody slipped
up or was overly optimistic.
Under the new law Congress
must count the electoral votes on
January to clear the way for the
Inauguration IA days later. 1t is
well within the memory of this
generation that at times it has
taken longer than one day to organ
ize the House.
And, of course, if the House is
not organized, the votes can't be
counted. And if the votes aren't
counted before the twentieth who
is it to say who is the President?
Of course the Democratic leaders
don't seem to be bit perturbed.
They are of the opinion they will
keep their majority in the House.
And in case they do, they argue
that Speaker William B. Bankhead
will be reelected to rule the next
Congress. He was hoisted to his
present position by a unanimous
vote when the late Speaker Joseph
w. ByrnS died.
The real fight in the organiza-
ton, of course, is over who will be
majority leader.
There is one fly in the ointment,
however, that even the Democrats
eye rather closely.
The progressive group in the
House, even if the present Admin
istration is victorious, will WELD
a lot of power and they might be
able, if they wanted to, to tie up
the whole program.
So, the storm will not be all over

Impartial Inquiry

CAPTIYATES PRESIDENT

After a visit to Russia, he was
advocating, in 1925, the bringing
of birth control and reform of
the marriage laws into political
platforms.
Finally, on December 80, 1888,
he addressed an open letter to
President Roosevelt, through the
newspapers, in which he set out
to advise the President on how
the country should be operated
under the New Deal.
Devaluation Of the dollar, the
WPA, approval Of AAA and the re-
duction of interest on savings de-
posts to a point where they would
be just l per cent-all were con-
tanned in this letter.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis
characterized the letter as one of
poor manners" Senator Nickel
lar, Of Tennessee, asked if there
was any suggestion of paying the
war debts in the letter. To this,
Senator Lewis replied:
That's the subject he care
fully avoids"
But Mr.. Keynes came over and,
according to the British press he
"capitavated Mr.. Roosevelt"
Lewis and Mcclellan are Demo-
Gratis and they had to stand for

passed on to her reward. l recall
dimly the excitement she caused
more than thirty years ago. She
was a cook and for a number of
years she went her way from one,
employer to another, giving gener-
al satisfaction. But a tragic fate
pursued every family she served.
One or more members invariably
developed typhoid fever. Doctors
examined the food and the milk
and the plumbing without success.
Finally one curious individual,
DR.. George A. Soper, a sanitary
engineer, caused an examination of
Mary, and a startling discovery
was made. Mary was lot sick; she
never had been sick; but she was a
huge boarding house and picnic
ground for typhoid fever germs.
She was what is known as a car
rier"-a walking distributor of
death.
Well, the world is full of Ty-
phoid Marys. I remember one who
was a merchant in a country town.
Always prosperous, he was always
pessimistic. Go into his store and
ask him how business was, and he
would reply: mot good, not good.
And if you want my opinion, it'll
get a whole lot worse before it's
any BETTER"
His pessimism did not prevent
him from making a snug annual
profit and accumulating a consider
able estate. But for fifty years he
dropped a germ of pessimism into
the soul Of every customer. Anoth-
er man has spoiled ten thousand
sunny days. He has a deep seated
conviction that every bright mo-
ment in human life has to be paid
for by an equivalent moment of
darkness. Say to him: cts a
beautiful day, Mr.. JONES'" and his
invariable answer is: eyes, but it's
a 'weathermaker'. We're laying up
some tough STORMS for the future,

For most of us names just indi-
cate certain persons, places or
things. For an historian they pre-
sent one of the few means of dis
covering whole chapters of unwrit-
ten history. This is especially true
of geographical names which, as an
eminent teacher points out, ARE an
expression of the mental character
of the people and the period"
With that statement in mind, it
is interesting to examine the names
of some Western towns to see how
much they reflect the cultural life
of our people in the pioneering days.
Basalt, Colorado, is one of a dozen
towns named after mineral deposits,
showing that the earliest settlers
were prospectors and miners, and
showing what value they put On
Colorado. California has places
named by its settlers for their agri-
cultural and commercial interests:
for example, Radium, Walnut, Oil
field, Orange, Rice, Sheepranch,
and Placerville.
Other Western names reveal
flora, fauna, and very human,
pioneer interests: Rifle, Smuggler,
Graft, Wild Horse, Wildcat, Bible,
Model, Hygiene, Ideal, Magazine,
Officer, Tombstone, Inspiration,
Bundle Bee, Weed, Jenny Lind, and
Success.
Taken all together these geo.
graphical names tell a good part of
the saga Of the West. What stories
of history do the place names in
your locality tell?

FEED AND COVER
NEEDED FOR BIRDS

The farmer whose land is well
stocked with trees and broomsedge
often wonders why he should make
improvements for wildlife.
George Becker, Junior Biogolist
of the Soil Conservation Service,
says that woods do furnish some
cover and food, but they must be
supplemented by other food and
cover more suitable to the needs of
birds.
Broomsedge fields in general, he
explains, supply the birds with very
little food and cover. Since they
harbor such predators as rats and
snakes, they cannot be considered
the best sources of wildlife food.
Winter is a difficult season for
non-migratory birds. They are
often left in a weakened condition
in the spring to raise and protect
their young. This weakened condi-
ton, continues Nh. Becker, leaves
the birds more susceptible to dis
ease and attacks from enemies.
As a large part of our birds are
lost through agencies Of storms,
disease, and enemies, he points out,
we can reduce this loss a great
deal by planting shrubs and sowing
grains for food and cover, while
at the same time helping to con-
troll soil erosion and improve the
farm from the aesthetic and econo-
mic standpoints.
