ing pace in the restricted field.
Anyhow, absence of further I'M
developed natural resources brings
a new element into this depression.
Another new factor in the pres
ent depression is the population sit
uatiOn. With a fast-growing popu-
lation any country might be long
in reaching expansion needs" So
long as there are additional mouths
to feed, there will be a demand for
additional production capacity. BY
the same token, an accelerating
population growth will call for an
accelerating expansion" But it is
equally clear, a diminishing growth
rate makes it doubly hard for "ex-
pansiOn' to continue the ever-in-
creasing pace demanded by laissez
faire economics. Stuart Chase is
not alone in calling attention to
our population situation. He was
but quoting census statisticians
when he said, Population is ap-
preaching its peak, soon to de-
cline. The Abstract of the U. S.
census shows the growth for the
decade, 192O-3O of 1870 is less than
half the growth rate up to 1860;
and if the 1930-34 rate continues,
the growth for the decade 193O-4O
will be only 1870. According to
this, the growth rate is declining
much faster since 1929 than it ever
did befo-e-by more than half in
10 years. Is it going to be easy for
industry to expand at an ever
accelerating pace with only Is ad-
ditional mouths to feed where in
the preceding decade there were 81
additional mouths? IF we have
not reached expansion needs, this
population situation should hasten
the day when we shall have reach

Pansion must stop or absolute over

SUGGESTS SAFETY MEASURES

SUGGESTS SAFETY MEASURES
Safety for motorist and pedes-
trlan involves so many factors that
there can be no precise formula
Tor preventing accidents, traffic
experts have learned. But there
are some things which are general
~ agreed to be important safety
measures and these are being
suggested by the Ford dealer organ
lzatlon to the general public
one of the important factors in
SAFETY is the mechanical fitness
OF the car. This, the dealers ad-
wise, can be virtually assured thro-
ugh observing the the following
rules:
Brakes - Should always be kept
properly adjusted.
tires - Good treads are posi-
tlVefy necessary to wet or winter
weather. Sound castings are always
a vital need, especially on front
wheels.
Rear view mirrior - Keep prop
erly adjusted and both mirror and
rear window clean.
Headlights - Don't run with one
light If you value your life. Aim
them properly so you can see the
road.
Tail lights - These are even
more important for your protection
Check often and at the same time
test the stop light
Windshield wipers - When you
need it badly. Keep it in working
condition.
Steering gear - Take to nearest
service station if there is any
change in the feeling of the gear
ughtness, looseness, irregularity.
Tight gaskets - Exhaust gas
leakage may be fatal. 1t is due to
ieaky connections in exhaust mani
fold, pipe or muffler. Check often
in winter.
Warming signals - Have your
horn fixed just as soon as you find
1t does not work properly.

SO much for him to start a new

"a new party, take more votes from
Roosevelt than from their candi-

would be elected on third party
ticket. They know it is doubtful
If Borah could swing any consi-
derable part of the third party mat
erial. Green and his group will
not desert Roosevelt now for even
"a so-called labor party; and if
there is a third party, Olson wants
the nomination and is not likely to
give way to Borah.
Above all, insomuch as the mat
erial of a third party is expected
to come from the farmer-labor
ranks, how far can a new party
get without Green and his group?
Obviously it cannot expect to win
this year. What it can do in 1910
depends largely on whether Green
changes his attitude or can be
wiped out of labor ranks. And

that every man and woman should
be required to lay aside a part of
his earnings in a government annu-

counter to the expressed wishes of
Mr.. Roosevelt. The President may
run up against the same thing this

There is a strong desire in both
Senate and House to find out in de-
tail how the five millions appTopri-
ated last session have been spent:
how much actually has been spent
to date and for what purposes. and
how much yet remains to be ex-
pended. The administration has been
creating the impression that its re-
lief funds are all but exhausted;
that there does not remain an
amount sufficient to carry the WPA
relief program from now until June
80. Almost daily conferences are
being held at the White House, the
purpose being to uncover
relief funds. allotted but
not being used, so this idle money
may be turned over to Harry Hop
kins for direct relief work.
But the fact regarding relief ex-
still remain guarded.

Without a word of debate, and by

''That Il Is unlawful for any per-

attempt to influence, through fear or
intimidation, the vote Of any person
employed by them, in connection
with any election at which Presiden-
tial and vice Presidential electors

for
ANY corporation violating any of
the provisions Of this Act shall be
fined not more than $1,000; and any
officer, director, or agent Of any
such corporation who violates or
consents to the violation Of any Of
the provisions OF this Act and any
person. who Is an employer as above
described, who violates or consents
to the violation of any Of the pro-
visions Of this Act shall be iined not
more than $1,000 or Imprisoned not
more than one year, or both"
The bill Is now the subject of
hearings before the House Commit !
tee on Judiciary. What II means
largely depends upon the whim of
those entrusted with its enforce

The Presidents delay in sending
to Congress his relief budget, indi-
eating specifically the amount he
will ask to continue federal relief
through the coming fiscal year, is
giving rise to a widespread impress
sion on Capitol Hill that the Execu-
tive is deliberately holding back un-
til Congress completes most of its
legislative program, and then in
tends to dump in his relief recon-
mendations with a request that Con-
gress speedily make the requested
appropriation and adjourn.
If this suspicion is we'll grounded,
the President may be playing a foxy
game And then again, such tactics
may not be so cunning. Last ses-
sion the President submitted his re-
lief budget in january and urged
Congress to give him $4,SSO, 900, 900
without delay. The House acted
promptly, but the Senate baked.
The upper branch of Congress de-
manded of the President particulars

Of how the nearly five billions
would be spent: some definite out
line of the relief policies which the
President had assured them had
been formulated.
The President steadfastly refused
to yield to the demands Of the Sem

bill for three months or more while !

The ReaE Facts

Statements have been making the
rounds to the effect that the private
electric industry IN America has
done relatively little to advance the
cause Of farm eleciriacation.
A recent newspaper release Of the
REA compares rural electrification
IN New York and Texas with that IN
New zeaiand-and the states come
off very bad second. Now. Major
s. Bennion, Of the Edison Electric
Institute, has answered Win a fac
tual article.
Major Bennlon says that a survey
Of an area IN the United States most
nearly comparable 10 the 21,000
square miles Of populated area in
New Zealand, would show a higher
percentage Of electrified farms and,
further, a greater use Of power.
In addition, rates in New Zealand
are high-ranging up to 20 cents a
kilowatt-hoHr, a level virtually un-
known in the United States. In one
district examined, q customer taking
lighting service, using a z XIV. range,
a milking machine and a farm mo-
tor would have a minimum charge
of $3.50 a year.
Finally, to add insult 10 injury, in
some parts Of New Zealand, one
fourth to three-iifths Of gross in
come of district electricity boards
has been raised from taxes-and the
effect Of this is obviously to charge
the customer only part of the cost
of power in his electric bill. and put
the rest in the tax bill. In the United
States the power industry finances
itself, receives no subsidies, and is a
heavy taxpayer.
Other surveys, made Of other
produce similar findings.
experts find that the
private electric industry in this
country is developing rural electri-
fcation as fast as economic cOndi-
iiOns permit.
