CEEMS like the relief plan which
~ has been in operation for the
past three years is wrong. Not that
we believe that there should be no
relief work given out, but that the
system of selection is somewhat hay
wire. The latest suggestion that the
applicant who has succeeded is
keeping off the relief rolls be given
preference where new work is get
ting underway seems the most sens
ible of any of the thousands of plans
which have been advanced. This
would put a premium on thrift and
self reliance, the very features
which are being deprecated under
the present plan of operation. Pro-
ponents of the plan seem to be get
ting somewhere with it too, we are
glad to note. =

The proper thing for the govern

should do now-is to take over
every feasible reclamation project
as a part of the national improve
ment and not charge single penny
of the construction costs to the
actual settlers. Operation costs
could we'll be borne by the settlers,
but the construction costs should
never have been tackled onto the
lands reclaimed. If Mr. Roosevelt
will accept this proposition, we'll
undertake to sell ten tickets to his
birthday ball.

industrial insurance act has been
fooled with since its inception. Hun
dreds and hundreds of new govern
mental employees will be added to
the payroll to handle the multiple
ity of details connected with the
new law.
The law, which may eventually
turn out to be a workable one, is
ostensibly for the purpose of giving
the worker a cash remuneration
while he is unemployed through no
fault of his own, and an old age en-
dowment after he has reached the
age of IS. The idea is basicly sound
but there are apparently so many
ifs and ands connected with the
administration of the law that it
may be as difficult to get the bene-
fits from the act as it is to get
any action from the state industrial
insurance law.
For the workman to contribute to
a compulsory insurance fund,
handled by the government, and
contributed to by the employer as
well as the government itself, seems
really the proper manner of hand
ling the security matter. Thus the
amount of remuneration a man re-
ceives will correspond with his pro-
ducing abilities during the years
when he is able to earn wages.

What We Think
(By Frank Dixon)

The press contains a good deal
of complaint from various sources
over the fact that government ex-
penditures have reached a high
point.
My own personal feeling in the
matter is that this situation has
been brought on by he fact that in
the past things have not been done
as they should have been done. We
as nation and people have been
guilty of errors and faults which
have resulted in false prosperity
being built up. The error continued
as we in our blind rush for wealth
and more wealth rushed on and on.
Finally the thing became top heavy
and the crack-up came. =
AS see it, one of the results of
our scheme of living has been that
much of the wealth has been gath
cred into the hands of a few people
and the rest have become mere hired
men subject to the fortunes OF mod
ern feudal lords.
It is but natural that in the adj
justment that had to come, some
of the money had to be taken away
from those who had too large a
share of it and turned over to those
who had none. It was either this
or the thousands who had none
would starve.
AS a Christian nation we do not
choose to follow this alternative,
but rather the alternative of divid-
ing a loaf with him that has none.
It is not my thought that this
wrong condition was not produced
by deliberate effort or maliciously,
but rather thru ignorance and the
pressure of the present day scheme
of living.
I am quite sure that big business
If it knew how to level out things
so that production would travel
along hand in hand on an even
keel with consumption that it would
go to most any length to bring such
situation about. Big business does
not know how any more than the
little fellow knows how.

explain the thing to myself in
this way. A normal healthy man
may commit sins against his physi-
cal body and get by. He may drink
bad Whiskey and eat the wrong sort
of food and keep the wrong hours,
and, if he has good physical body,
escape punishment for a long time,
but the day will finally come when
he will experience a general break
down, everything will be the matter
with him at once.
This is the situation this country
found itself in when the depression
struck.
The solution in the case of the
man is to discover what he is do
ing that he should not and correct
it. The solution in the case Of the
nation is to find out what it is do
ing that it shouldn't, wherein the
error lies and correct it.

They were delighted, above all, when it
transpired that not very reputable French
film company recently arrived in the neigh
borhood had engaged Dollabel Rose (now
tired of resting) to play small part in their
not very reputable comic film "Coub de
SoLeil" and that some of the scenes were to

be shot next day. by express permission of
Madame Wyndham, up at the Villa Antinea
ITSELF
The film was intended to be risque
comedy showing the antics of whole village
that had caught sunstroke during a heat
wave, and went mad and threw off all re-
straint and made love like tribe of savages.
1t was the most provoking, killingy
hilarious, laughter compelling comedy of
the century
1t was Dollabel's suggestion that the villa
should be used for some of the sets; the
producer had been mooching round and had
admired the gardens and terraces so ardently
that she had told him he might bring up the
entire company, and she would make it "oke"
with Fay Wyndham, who owned the place:
Fay was just her dearest friend.
The producer was therefore very pleased
with Dollabel; he had another incident
written in especially for her, just to give her
her chance: "And Madame, too, she ave,
what you call it, walk-in, during our cafe
scene That give always great pleasure to the
amateur, know it. And 'er big dog. too,

frey, between Lobo and Shot. Neither Lobo
nor his mistress dared 60 quite 50 far as to
ignore the command that they we're not to
invite their infatuations up to the villa: but
there were plenty of other meeting places;
often they just sat gossiping for hours at
time in the tawdry little garden at Casette
Sans Gene while Dollabel, while Hotsy told
their anchovy anecdotes; unloaded their store
of cheap, brittle "reminiscences and innu-
endo. Lobo, once Godfrey's inseparable COM
panion, now gave up Godfrey altogether and
followed his mistress For it was Fay who led
him straight down to the patch of queer
glamor that lay around Casette Sans Gene.
The Wyndhams had been invited to spend
a week end with Colonel and Mrs. TyrTell
Smythe at their house up in the hills, where
it was perhaps trifle cooler. 1t was long
standing arrangement, but the day before
they went, Fay remarked casually: would
you mind leaving me out of it this time, dear?
l really don't think l can face three whole
days of Sophia Tyrrell- -Smythe."
Godfrey soowled. This inoomprehensible
attachment to Casette Sans Gene =. Fay

of Miss Dollabel Rose and that sickening
mongrel than 60 with him to stay with really
