bonus dollars. Then they needed
braUery. NOU they need sanity.

In a short while, S1,317, 7,619.47 will
find its way from the Golfers of the
United States treasury into the pOck-
cts Of World War veterans in Imperial
county. Where will it go from there?
Not so impetuous as they once might
have been, there are mighty few of the
veterans who will send the greenbacks
up in the smoke Of one or two hilarious
evenings. There are still some who will
go like lambs to the shearing however,
happened in Wall Street or how it was
that the gilt-edged oil stock did not live
up to its lining Some Of them, possibly
the maj jority, will be as wise as they
were brave then. They will make their
bonus dollar a dollar spent for pros
perity and security
How will Imperial county veterans
spend their bonus? Probably to build
homes, buy homes, pay debts, purchase
motor cars or trucks, furniture, radios,
refilgeratorS, farm implements, Women's
and children's clothing. Some will put
it into savings accounts Some will in
dulge in luXuries 1t is safe to predict
that less of the bonus in Imperial coun-
ty will go into the pockets of promotion
sharps or confidence men than in many
parts of the country
1t is to be hoped that every veteran
weights carefully the benefits he will
receive from expenditure of his bonus
dollar In doing so. he will assure him
self the most security, benefit and per-
manent value, and in doing this he will
assure the entire community the great
est value.

The race is to the swift.

Given equality in all else. the college
graduate starts with better chance to
make his mark in the world than the
person who is not a college graduate.
Especially now, he would be foolish to
adopt a depression compleX-a fear of
the battle ahead-a fear born in days
when there was no greater uncertainty
than that of the youth attempting for
the first time to find his niche in bus-
ness or industry. With energy and de-
termination, no young man or woman
should have cause to fear the future.
For the first time in years. Miss
Christie finds, many employers are seek
ing interviews with senior students.
Most positions for which new and train
ed men and women are sought are in
the fields of engineering, chemistry and
commerce and business administration
Much of it is sales work-and it is inter-
esting that most trained graduates are
not deeply interested in the sales field
Even a college education will not
help if the individual lacks initiative.
energy and understanding Given those
three qualities, together with a college
education, there is unbounded opportu-
nifty for young men and women of to-
day

WASHINGTON.-The housing bill intro
duced by Senator Wagner of New York and
Representative Ellenbogen of Pennsylvania would
permanently assert and undertake TO discharge a
federal responsibility in the housing OF families
of low income.
The measures passage at this session seems
to depend whether it gets the endorsement
of President Roosevelt whose attitude IS in
doubt. Wagner finally grew tired Of listening TO
the irreconcilable differences OF Roosevelt S
housing advisers and went ahead with Ellen
bogen and group of public housing experts,
rather than the representatives of real estate,
financial and other private interests
The bill probably would enable production
of new homes for families with incomes as low

sion for assisting and financing housing projects

tary dwellings for their use
Subsidies up to as per cent of cost could be
granted by the permanent United States HouS-

authorized to issue its own guaranteed bonds

The sum available for subsidies for low-rent

1t is unfair to single out the AAA for
criticism because three sugar growing
concerns received production control
payments of about a million dollars
each, and payments of $4,000 were
made to large cotton growers, $4,000
to an eastern hog farm, and the like.
Such criticism is discrimination. If it
is justified, then similar criticism can
be made of the entire tariff structure
1t is all, to certain degree, government
subsidy
Criticism becomes less justifiable
when it is considered that, actually, 90
per cent of the farm subsidies were
paid in sums less than $4,000.
Millions of dollars in subsidies are
paid annually to shipping concerns, and
many millions to even bigger concerns
under the tariffs, which are nothing
more nor less than provisions for sub
sides. In selected agricultural fields
wheat cotton, etc.-large and small
growers have been subsidized in direct
ratio to the amount of tariff protection
given them Industry is subsidized in
direct ratio to the height of the walls
protecting the price of its products
from foreign competition.
