STRIKE ME PINK

A MAGAZINE once published a cartoon in which
coal miner saying to a fellow digger
Strike me pink, Bill but here comes Mrs Roose-
velt!' Some months thereafter the cartoon came
true when the ubiquitous First Lady did go down in
an Ohio coal mine.
When the United Mine Workers met recently in
Washington Mrs. Roosevelt invited more than a
hundred women who had accompanied their miner
husbands here, to reception and tea at the White
House. Everybody had wonderful time in the in
formal atmosphere that Mrs. Roosevelt gives to all
her functions.
And now Mrs. Roosevelt has written, by request
a special message to coal miners wives 1t is pub
llshed in the March issue of the United Mine Work
ers Journal She has drawn on her acquaintance
with miners and their homes and families to urge the
abolition of what is ordinarily known as the COM
pany town and the company store

In mine towns or mill towns have no choice as to
where and how they will live, that they have no
real choice as to where they will buy DESTROYS

Iher prayers nave continually assaulted Heavens

loyalty and labor They too have died that the Faith
might hve And certainly in the long list of Chris

INDUSTRY AND RELIEF

TINE Presidents relief message, while placing re-
sponsbility on private employers for reduc-
ton of the relief load did not state how many men
industry take if the government is stay
within his estimate of S3000OOO00 for relief in the
next fiscal year.
Mr. Roosevelt said 900 of the 100000 family
heads single persons now on relief are employ
able. He did not estimate the number of anem-
ployed persons not on relief, who would compete
for any increase in private jobs.
Conservative estimators place this outside group
at four million. Others say six
Increases in private employment since 1888, al
though large in many fields have had little effect
on relief totals Out of each 10 jobs opened only
about three relief persons have been put to work
the seven others came from non-relief unemployed.
Following this experience in the past three years,
relief officials today skeptca about the ultimate
effect of the Presidents plea for greater private en-
poyment. They argue that before half or even
third of the relief load could be absorbed employers
would by preference exhaust the non-relief posi-
bilities
The belief prevails among Senators, Congressman
and other officials that the part of private industry
largely hostile to the New Deal will ignore the
Presidents plea for more jobs
What this would mean eventually is matter of
conjecture. The President said that "ony if in
dustry fails to reduce the number of those now
without work will another appropriation and further
plans and policies be necessary" Some read into
these words threat not of greater relief appropria
lions but of another attempt by the government to
regulate wages and hours

RED INK AND RED DUST

A MASSACHUSETTS INK manufacturer inter
viewed in Portland, Ore, discloses that the
sales of red ink which were several hundred per cent
above normal few years ago. have declined abrupt
ly in the last few months. Even the ink manufac-
ter is not disappointed because the sales of other
colors mounting.
This symbolic statistic is confirmed by current
financial reports of corporations showing profits
where losses recently listed and in the trend
toward fewer and fewer bankruptcies.
And it seems to provide some justification of the
New Deals fiscal policy of spreading red ink on the
governments books to build up the purchasing
power and balance the books of private business.
TT is appropriate, therefore, to ask what private
business is doing to Help solve the problem of
unemployment and relief which forces the govern
ment to continue operating in the red Private
business is giving employment to three to five mil
lion more persons than it had on its pay rolls at
the depth of the depression Yet approximately 10
million are still looking for work. And the govern
ment's relief burden is no lighter
Most big business spokesman say that business
started getting better the day the Supreme Court
tossed NRA out the window. Bro there seems to be
another side to this picture. The last A. F. of L.
monthly survey of business reports that since the
downfall OF NRAs maximum hours and minimum
wage guarantees those who are employed have been
forced TO work longer hours at lower wages although
the average weekly wage and the total of private
pay rolls larger If the NRAs shorter work-week
schedules were still in effect, it is estimated the
increased business volume would provide employ
ment for 100000 additional workers
Business men who are writing thu ir own financial
reports in black ink. and think the government
should be doing likewise might help the government
little by doing what they can to spread employ
ment 1t will be very difficult for the government to
quit using red ink until the country as a whole gets
in the black. The personal budgets of the 100000
unemployed and their dependents, are still very
much out of balance

THINKS ALL SHOULD
PAY TAXES

By Mrs. NJ. H. Kennedy, Lafayette
The editorial in The Times Of
March entitled why Not" seems
very timely now the government is
asking for more taxes. This edi-
torial should be read by every tax
payer and every taxpayer should do
all he or she could to do away with
exempt taxation. Why not?
The Congress is to be congratulate
ed. 1t did not grant special ex-
emption to the RFC. There already
is a great burden on the willing tax
payer who does not seek exemption.
A legislator in the state special
session asked for tax exemption of
municipal owned utilities.
Tax exemption is racket which
cheats the government out of enough
money'to take care of the Social Sc
curity Act, to care for the aged, the
blind, crippled and to feed the
worthy unemployed, so why exempt
taxes for those who can afford to
pay them.
The Indianapolis Times of March
5, 1886, said in an editorial:
THE whole proposition of exemp-
ton and favoritism is repugnant
to our Republics ideal of equal
rights and equal responsibilities.
More familiar inconsistencies are
those that arise from legislation
which pressure groups lobby through
state legislatures and city councils.
A college fraternity may own a
mansion exempt from taxation,
while a college boarding house next
door is subject to taxes. Lodges and
churches have their properties TAX
en- off the rolls, all of which adds
to the tax burden of properties re-
manning on the rolls"
hope the taxpayers not exempt
will study this fine lesson given us
in The Times.
