INDUSTRY AND RELIEF

THE Presidents relief message, while placing re-
sponsibility private employers for a reduc-
ton of the relief load, did not state how many
industry must take if the government is to stay
within his estimate of $31OO0OOO0O for relief in the
next fiscal year
Mr.. Roosevelt said 100000 of the 100000 family
heads or single persons on relief are employ
able. He did not estimate the number of unem-
ployed persons not on relief, who would compete
for any increase in private jobs
Conservative estmators place this outside group
at four million. Others say six
Increases in private employment since 1885, al
though large in many fields have had little effect
relief totals. Out of each 10 jobs opened, only
about three relief persons have been put to work;
the seven others from non-relef unemployed.
Following this experience in the past three years,
relief officials today skeptical about the ultimate
effect of the Presidents plea for greater private
ployment. They argue that before half or even a
third of the relief load could be absorbed employers
would by preference exhaust the non-reief posi-
bilties
The belief prevails among Senator's Congressman
and other officials that the part of private industr!
largely hostile to the New Deal will ignore the
Presidents plea for more jobs.
What this would mean eventually is a matter of

RED INK AND RED DUST
MASSACHUSETTS ink manufacturer

A MASSACHUSETTS ink manufacturer, inter-
4 n viewed in Portland Ore, discloses that the
sales of red ink which several hundred per cent
above normal few years ago, have declined abrupt
" in the last few months Even the ink manufac-
trer is not disappointed because the sales of other
colors are mounting.
This symbolic statistic is confirmed by current
financial reports of corporations showing profits
where losses we're 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
i 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 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 MIRA out the window. But 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 NRA's maximum hours and minimum
wage guarantees, those who employed have been
forced 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 still in effect, it is estimated, the
Increased business volume would provide employ
ment for 100000 additional workers.
Business men who writing their own financial
reports in black ink. and think the government
should be doing likewise, might help the government
a little by doing what they 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 stii very
much out of balance
5 A MOTHER thing more onlinous than the govern
ment's red ink is the red dust blowing in the
Southwest. For it symbolizes natures unbalanced
budget, an unbalance which came about because

We are lamentaby behind in church laadorshi,,
even though we have moved forward steadilv in in

women have always been addicted to mons .uor,,s
Their prayers have continually assaulted r5e.,o,,r
gates No creeds could have survived without their
loyalty and labor They too have died that the Faith
might live And certainly in the long list of Chris
tan martyrs should be written the names of obscure
spnSters who have sublimated earthly desires upon

rewards
Actually women have contributed immeasurabv
to the establishment and growth of every denomina

whisper of authority in his religious councils The
sisters bow meekly in their pews or sweat in the
church kitchens oiing like beavers for every worthy
cause, while the men continue to exhort from the
pulpits and to sit upon the governing boards

No dictatorship has been so severe as the dicta-

representative especially when he has spoken to

preaching decides most of the policies and inter-
prets the Word. In short, he delegates to himself
the right to monopolize the spiritual and temporal
power held by his particular denomination
In this respect the modern church is our most
medieval institution.

TODAY'S SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ.

A RESEARCH laboratory devoted
( y entirely to the study of the
soybean has been opened at Urbana.
ILL.,, by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in cooperation
with IL states of the North Central
region. The cooperating states are
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Ne
braska, Kansas, Missouri, North
Dakota and South Dakota.
Amazing increase in the produc-
ton of soybeans during the last few
years is given by government OFF,
Gals as the reason for the new
laboratory. Acreage devoted to the
bean has risen from 100000 acres
in 1924 to nearly 100000 in 1885.
In 1885, 100000 bushels of soy
beans were produced. Last years
crop totaled 10000 COO bushels.
Increased demand for the beans
for food, animal feed and industrial
uses coupled with the beans i'm
munity to chinch bugs and other
pests are the chief reasons for the
increase. The beans are also drought
resistant.
The laboratory will be under the
direction of DR.. o. E. May of the
United States Bureau of Chemistry
and Soils. Breeding work will be
directed by w. j. Morse of the
United States Bureau of Plant In
dustry.
Much of the credit for the pres
ent position of the soybean as a
major American crop belongs to
Mr.. Morse, who, a few years ago
spent two years in the Orient in
successful hunt for better varie-
ties of soybean than those then
known in this country.
Soybeans are used today in the
manufacture of many industrial
products including paint, enamel,
varnish, glue, printing ink. rubber
substitutes, linoleums, insecticides,
| and plaSticS.

vows milk, generally, has been
~ found to agree with the tastes
and stomachs Of most persons. But
cases sometimes turn up in which
child, or an older person, can not
tolerate the fluid.
For these some substitute must
be found, one as nearly equal as
possible to cows milk in food value.
One of these substitutes is goats
milk. Both have been found quite
satisfactory for invalid and infant.
Goats milk, when properly pro-
duced, is an exceedingly valuable
food. For many years, it was be-
lieved that the milk of the goat
was superior to that of the COW,
as an infants food. This idea prob
ably spraf1g from the fact that there
was less tuberculosis among goats
than among cows.
But it is reasonable to believe
that. If goats were llerded to-
gether in stables as cows have been.
tuberculosis would spread among
them to about the same extent that
it appears among cows Further
more, the goat suffers more fire.

quently with malta, or undulent, fe-
yer than does the COW.
VOU should remember that goats
Il milk is not a medicine, but a
food. Goats milk tends to form
a slightly firmer coagulum, or solid,
than does cows milk. In proportion
to its body weight, the goat pro-
duces about twice as much milk as
does the COW.
Many persons dislike the taste of
goats milk, but there is. no reason
for a bad taste if the proper pre-
cautions are taken in milking.
Soy bean milk, as its name indi-
Gates, is product prepared from
the soy bean. 1t seems to be a sat-
isfactory food in the diet of in
valids. 1t can be furnished at a
reasonable price and is gaining i'm
portance in nutrition in this coun-
try.
The soy bean, dried, provides 71z
per cent water, SO per cent protein,
81 per cent fat and 29.6 per cent
carbohydrate. It provides 1898 CAL

THINKS ALL SHOULD
PAY TAXES

BY Mrs. NJ H. Kennedy. Lafayette
The editorial in The Times of
March 5 entitled why Not" seems
very timely now the government is
asking for more taxes. This edi-
toriel 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 tc
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. t..
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-
naming on the rolls"
hope The taxpayers not exempt
will study this fine lesson given us
in The Times.

SPRING FLOWERS
BY JAMES n. ROTU

The Master sends the flowers o

To awaken our sense of life,
And to atone for winters sting,
With its cruel pangs and strife.
Gay colored petals opening wide,
In hues by a master mind,
Blossom forth on every side;
Our faith in Him they bind.
By Him, no promise broken ever,
Let's play our humble parts.
Those sacred ties we will not sever
To Him we give our hearts.

CONTENDS ITALY WARS
IN SELF-DEFENSE
By Frank L. MARITIME
Italy is in Ethiopia by right of
| justifiable self-defense.
In discussing the Ethiopian
conflict, it is necessary to take into
consideration the reasons by which
Italy was obliged to invade Ethiopia.
First of all, it is necessary to bear
in mind the fact that Philippians
| invaded. on 90 different occasions
italian territory in Africa.
Italy never has been able to OBJ
tain from Ethiopia, in spite of regu-
lar treaty Con May 2, 1890, the
least cooperation, but instead has
met a steady opposition. The
Italian colonies of Eritrea and
Somaliland nave never enioyed
