WASHINGTON. - Perhaps you

side the general speculation as to
whether now there is to be new
Borah."
For the capitals conception Of
the Idaho statesman comes close
to the classic and rather mean ref
erence made to him once by OK
Senator Jim Reed of Missouri,
when he called Borah THE Great
Beginner"
In other words, when you speak
of Borah around here you are
sure to be told that che never fin
y ish>s anything There is plenty
of cnapter and verse Oil that.
But it's something else again
when Borah allows his name to
be used in the presidential pri-
maries and Borah was never be-
fore in any such Strategic posi-
ton as he is today.
First, it is conceded by many pc.
litical observers that he could get
more votes than anyone else the
Republicans might name, if the
election were tomorrow.
Second, the fate of the G. o. P.
might we'll be in Borah's hands
were he to consider boiling the
party in case neither its plat
form nor its candidate should be
satisfactory to him.
THROUGH the country Borah's
l. name is one to conjure with
at all times and right now there's
a large hunk of sentiment among
Republicans to liberalize their
party.

OUR ENORMOUS PUBLIC DEBT

The federal debt has reached the enormous total
of thirty billion dollars.
State and local public debts amount to approx
matelv twenty and a half billion dollars.
This total of more than fifty billion dollars the
National Conference Board says is approximately
the total national income for the year.
1t is dangerously close to the "ffty-hve to sew
entv billion dollars of public debt which some
bankers told President Roosevelt the country could
stand up under.
This total debt, the National Industrial Confer
ence Board finds calls for two billion eight num-
dred million dollars of interest in year, when IS
twenty per cent of all government revenue from al
sources, and five times what the national govern
ment cost us little more than generation ago.
The figures are not only startling, but are decld-
edly disturbing. -,
The country may be able to stand up under the
enormous burden of debt, but no one with gram
of business sense will presume to say 1T is not some
thing to worry about, and especially If we are not
able pretty soon to begin to cut 1t down fatner
than build it higher.-Rock Hill, S. G., Herald

was one of the first-probably the
very first-in the United States
to advocate for Franklin D. RooSe-
velt the seat he now occupies.
Leib began his boom for Roose.
velt when he was 19, back in his
adopted home town of South
Bend, Ind, and by August of 1880
he had organized the first "Roose-
welt for President" club while F.
D. was still running for reelec-
ton as governor of New York. A
"lone wolf" campaigner because
many thought Roosevelt should
wait until 1886, he soon had 81
clubs organized in as many States
before 1880 had run out.
Later. before the Democratic
convention, Leib seriously i'm
paired the "Stop Roosevelt" bloc
by inveigling Speaker Garner to is
sue public statements that he was
not a candidate for the presidency,
and winning his own Indiana dele
cation despite opposition by haran-
guing individual District caucuseS.
After the Democratic victory,
the young politician added to his
achievements with several strate-
gic strokes, one of them favor
able statement from Pierre S. du
Pont in regard to NRA when that
agency was under fire. In another
he contrived to get statement
from William Green Of the A. F. of
L. that he would support Roosevelt
for reelection, just at the moment
when Green's organization was
fighting Congress and the Admin
istration over the Wagner bill.
Leib was defeated for election as
president Of the Young Democrats

developed by his militant tactics
on behalf of Roosevelt. He plans
eventually to enter politics in New

General Electric started it, the steel COM
panies followed-and John L. Lewis and Pres.
Roosevelt scotched it.
We mean, of course, that brilliant idea of
tying the wage level to the cost of living.
Brilliant for the bosses, that is. Profits are
soaring at the greatest rate in history. Divi-
dends paid to stockholders for the third quarter
of 1886 have already passed the 1929 figure for
the same period, and they will jump hundreds
of millions more by Christmas. The bosses know
that workers will not be content with 10%-
abov~e-depression wages while that goes on.
So they humble to themselves: eff we can
tie wages to the cost-of-living level permanent
ly, it will mean that workers can never live
better than they do now, no matter how high
profits go!" And they rub their hands together
gleefully.
The United Electrical & Radio Workers an
swered General Electric with a loud "No."
The Steel Workers Organizing Committee
answered steel with a fighting declaration by
John L. Lewis in which he said that the work
ers are fighting for a HIGHER STANDARD
OF LIVING rather than for merely higher
wages. And steel workers, he told u. S. Steel,
are going to get that higher standard.
Then Pres. Roosevelt took notice of the issue
and declared flatly that "cost of living is a
factor in wages only at the lowest, minimum
wage point" The task of the future is not a
living wage but to build buying power"
With the great mass industry drive for union
ism aimed at their little plan and the federal
administration against them, GE and Steel will
have to reach for another rabbit in the hat.

The Sharecroppers' Problem

In a statement made public by the Southern
Tenant Farmers union, the organization of the
sharecroppers, the present system of agriculture
in the south is held to be an outgrowth of chat
tel slavery, embodying "the worst features of
18th century feudalism and goth century fl
nance capitalism
The result is tragic. For years all that their
labor meant to the sharecroppers was tyranny,
continuous hunger and hopeless poverty. Many
of them find themselves in perpetual debt to
their employers while the more fortunate just
about break even at the end of the year. A
large proportion Of them, because of poll tax
requirements they cannot meet, have even lost
their franchise privileges. Their status, both
Of blacks and whites, is not very far removed
from the chattel slaves to free whom we fought
a bloody war.
The union has presented a list Of proposals
to the commission which is now investigating
the situation, which calls for representation
by sharecroppers on agricultural boards, stop
page of evictions; ending of discrimination be-
cause of organizational affiliation; free schools
and bus transportation to them; free textbooks
and hot lunches for school children; a living
wage based on the cost Of living; cash loans at
legal rates of interest; no compulsion to trade
in company stores; decent houses and freedom
to sell cotton without interference of landlords.
The demands show how lacking in the most
elementary essentials are the conditions the
southern tenant farmers are living under.
