Soon I was disenchanted and for the

Nothing she does pleases me. I pick

Just how you feel.
If she loves you, 1t will be Q terrible
blow to her, but it will be better for
her in the end. No wife Is more un.
happy and more to be pitied than the
one whose husband has ceased to love
her and who is merely duty husband.

Be very sure also Of your own state
of mind. Nearly all married people
go through sort of emotional slump
about the end of the honeymoon and
wish temporarily that they hadn't
done it or had married somebody else.
1t is a sort of reaction from the senti-
mental jag they have been on that
mouth. 1t is made up of a sudden
appalling sense Of the finality Of mar
riage, the realization that you have
taken a step that you can't retrace,
that you've lost your freedom forever
and your discovery that the one to
whom you are married isn't at all like
the glamorous being that you always
intended to marry.
But you have this same panic when.
ever you make any momentous de-
cision-when you finally decide on .
career or business or buy q new auto
mobile. You are always dissatisfied
and wish you could change. but II
you stick to your bargain the mood
passes and all is well.

wife is very much in love with you.

A WASTEFUL POLICY

In the first of series of articles just
released for publication by the Farmers
independence Council of America, atten-
ton is called to the tragic waste of public
funds now going on in connection with
vast irrigation projects in several far west
ern states
1t is stated that since March, 1888,
funds aggregating 1900 million dollars
have been allOcated for these projects, de-
signed to bring into fertility some three
million acres of arid land. During the
same period approximately 100 million
dollars have been spent for crop destruc-
ton, acreage curtailment, slaughter of
livestock and other means for reducing
farm production.
Thus it may be seen that billions of
dollars are being spent by the government
for Numerically opposite purposes-to
bring arid land into productivity on the
one hand, while paying to keep good land
idle on the other.
Official figures from the Department
of Agriculture show that in the very states
where most of these irrigation projects are
located less than 60 per cent of the tillable
land now available was under cultivation
in 1884. Yet it is planned to provide more
land at an irrigation cost running as high
as $500 an acre =, '..-|7t
The inconsistency, absurdity and
wastefulness of such policy should be
evident to every thinking person. No won
der our NATIONAL debt and its consequent
tax burden have reached such alarming
proportions
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-09-18

and to base upon this statement talk
of over-production and restrictions.
All over the world there has been
curtailmens of output-even the out
right destruction of many products.
We have even paid groups not to
produce.
Yet this has been In worlo in
which there are at the ms. no more
than a handful of peop.s who do 40
eagerly desire far more tan they
have. 1t was only fifteen years ago
that we were talking of scarcity not
of an excess. Either there was some.
tf.ing wrong with our thinking then
or there Is something wrong with it
now.
Sir Arthur Saiter not long ago ex-
pressed il well when he )psel we'd tina
it will be time to talk Of over-produc
ton when every Hottentot is mil
lionaire" Even in the United States
where per capita production Is the
highest in the world there are many
thousands Of undernourished and
poorly clothed people. A recent study
by the Health Section Of the League
of Nations shows that in many coun-
tries there are vast numbers of people
improperly and inadequately fed.
Yet with millions still unemployed.
prices Of food and of other commodi-
ties are definitely rising.
First we should get 1t firmly fixed
in our minds that we do not have too
much production. In the only sense
in which the words should be used

The Files OF The Citizen

The tropical storm which struck
Miami Beach this morning re-
suited in great damage to prop
erty. A telegram from that sec
ton reads: There is a 90 mile
hurricane raging. The whole city
is under about three feet of Wa
ter. The ocean came in over the

route from Galveston to Miami,

making port. A radio message
from the Steamship Westerwald

we have under production and shall
1--we il for. hong time to come. Pri-
waite effort and public policies should
be in the direction of more output,
not of less.
Second we must realize that our
troubles are due to our failure to pre-
vent those ups and downs known as
business cycles. Their causes are in
tricate and their cure difficult but
until we understand them better and
learn how to control them we shall
have fuctuating prices and periods Of
unemployment
Third to be remembered Is that the
basic causes are not in our monetary
system. 1t has its weaknesses and it
is to be hoped that we can correct
them Crude tinkering with money,
however, Of the sort that we have
been carrying on and that many want
us to continue. only serves to make
matters worse. The basic troubles are
not with money but with alarge NUM-
her Of othc- matters. It /; not surpris-
ing that business depression always
brings forth many crude ideas, es-
pecially monetary panaceas. They are
almost always urged by persons who
have no training in the subject which
is one of the most technical and most
difficult in the whole field Of econom-
les. :
Fortunately production in many
lines is increasing. Not in all, for the
drought of 1886 has sharply reduced
many crop yields But prices. es.
pecially of foodstuffs, are rising. EN-.
ployment is tagging but may be ex.
pected to grow as business continues
to improve. We are gaining ground.
What we have to dread is not too
mich production but too rapid an
advance. There is a real danger that
the advance may get out Of control
and that another reaction will come
within only few years.
To repeat-we do not have and have
not had over-production. What we
have had Is situation in which a
great many producers have not been
able to sell at prices sufficiently high
TO cover their costs.
There Is no single remedy. Most EN-.
phatically it is not to be found In
merely pushing up the level of prices
That will give relief to none except
few limited groups and will instead
create new difficulties for almost all
of us.
