WHAT WILSON WANTED

The Charlotte Observer quotes the late Presl-
dent Woodrow Wilson, who ranked as among the
first half dozen greatest of American presidents"
also great Democrat, as saying:
81 do not want to live under philanthropy
do not want to be taken care of by the govern
ment either directly or by any instruments through
which the government is acting. YRt only to
have right and justice prevail as far am con-
cerned. Give me right and justice and1l will un-
dertake to take care of myself / will not 1--we
under trustees if can help it -. / do not care
how patriotic the trustees may be. have never
heard of men in whose hands am willing to lodge
the liberties of America in trust"
A fair field and no favors is what most persons
want who are worth their SAT-. They do not want
somebody else to do their thinking for them, they
do not want the government or anybody else to
take care of them. They only want right and JUS
tice and a chance to take care of themselves.-Ihe

yANDALS OF THE HIGHWAY

The annual season for pillaging the woods, heIds
and roadsides of South Carolina is here Dogwood'
redbud, and other wild Towering, trees and shrubs
that beautify the southern landscape in spring are
blooming. e.,
Sunday the weather was warm and the sunshine
brilliant 1t was day to tempt the motorist ana
the highways were filled with cars. Some of them
came home with the broken boughs of dogwood
and redbud upon which the blossoms were whted.
The boughs had been torn, not cut from the trees
and ragged places had been left to harbor damag-
ing insects and promote disease. .tj
Later in the season the laurel, rhododendron and
many other shrubs and trees will be in bloom and
they also will fall victims to the thoughtlessness OF
these despoilers of beauty. Magazines, flower
clubs. newspapers and civic organizations have
urged motorists to enjoy the beautiful things ma
t,,re has placed along highways and in the fields
and woods but not to mar their beauty Most OF
the states have laws against robbng the landscape
of it's loneliness Yet each year there is little
army of despoiers or vandals that ignores law and
is deaf to all Notwithstanding Herald

WHAT ALLIED THE CAT

Farley does about political ma
chimes. She knew moro about cats
than cats know about themselves.
"You are feeding that cat too
often" declared the aunt after
she had been around for Il few
days. "a grown cat should be fed
once a day. 1t takes a cat twenty
hours TO digest its food. 1t isn't
any better for q cat to take fresh
food in on undigeStcd food than
for a human being to do the same
unhealthy thing"
Being regarded as something of
an oracle, the aunt was needed
and Kitty got but one meal a day.
"And don't feed her too much, J"
warned the aunt. "Give her what
she will eat up and still be lit
tie hungry"
And 10 and behold after the
cat had been on the new diet
plan Il few days, a transforma-
ton took place in her disposition.
She ceased TO be ShOrt-tempered,
cranky and reluctant to purr; she
became gentle, loving, contented,
and ready to sing. The trouble
with that cat had been chronic
Indigestion caused by improper
feeding.
o you wives with ill-disposition-

derstanding hcart--or perhaps he
had a wife who couldn't or
wouldn't cook. But cooking alone
won't do the trick. There must be
intelligent selecting and assem-
bling of foods. If you don't know
what ! mean, try mixing raw
cherries and raw milk in your
stomach and sec what happens to
you. But have a doctor handy

The cost of the bill and the size
of the program which it contem-
plates will almost certainly be re-
duced. Supporters are hopeful,
however, that the framework and
policies of the bill will be pre-
served to the end that the govern

housing program. In this pro-
gram, housing for low income
groups will be recognized as a ma
tional responsibility.
Roosevelt's frequent references

lion which, he says, is "ill
housed" have been accompanied
by assurances that he really
wanted a worthwhile federal
housing program in which decent
housing could be provided for
families whose incomes are so
low that private enterprise can
i not afford to build for them.

Edwin F. Hill.

Edwin F. Hill, untimely lost to Wash
ington at fifty-five, would not have
wished eulogy. A plain man, unas-
suming in manner and bearing, he never
wanted notice for himself. Rather, it
was for the interests of his heart that
he sought understanding and apprecia-
ton. 1t follows that it would be his
preference at this final moment of his
career to have the enthusiasms to which
he was devoted mentioned.
He loved his country and the world
OF which it is part. Humanity in the
most widely comprehensive meaning of
the word appealed to him. He made a
business of kindliness always, was lib
eral and tolerant by instinct and gen.
erous by nature in the constant practice
of his life. Children especially won
his help-in them he saw the future of
the race and the best opportunity to
aid the advancement of the whole
human species in this troubled earth.
Mr.. Hill likewise had passion for
knowledge. Facts intrigued his imagi-
nation. 1t was favorite hobby with
him to collect statistical data on a wide
variety of subjects His wartime scrap
book was fascinating compilation OF
documented national experience. Per-

Cost of Propaganda.

The cost of Government propaganda
information services is the term used in
official circleS-is a considerable item
in the annual expenditures of Gov
ernment in this country. Laying aside
the money paid in salaries and wages
for the preparation of this material, the
cost of printing and sending it through
the mails has grown to more than
$5o,oO00O0 year. Representative Taber
of New York, speaking in the House on
the Treasury and Post Office appropria-
ton bill. called attention to the fact that
the cost of printing all this Government
material has increased to $20000,0O This
is twice the amount that was expended
for this purpose prior to 1898. He called
attention, also, to the fact that the cost
of transmitting the Government mail
under the franking privilege has in
creased from S9000,000 year to 34,0O0,-
600 under the present administration.
The Government sends through the
mails free of charge vast amount of
material that is not printed in the Gov
ernment Printing Office but which is pre-
pared in the mimeographing sections of
the various agencies. There is no gov
ernmental hand to plough under this
production, apparently. 1t flourishes like
the green bay tree.
Under the guiSe of information the
agencies of the Government-and par
ticularly the newer agencies created since
the New Deal was brought to Washing
ton and the whole country-are turning
out millions of copies of all kinds of
pamphlets. They are put out in most
attractive style, some of them copying
the magazines of the day, with a great
number OF pictures of all kinds They
are printed in fancy colors, some of them.
All of these publications cost money-a
great deal of money.
They serve, too. as advertisements of
what the Government is doing in its
many new lines of activity And, like
advertisements, they put these activities
in the most favorable light possible. The
idea is to convince the people that these
activities and the people who work in
them should be continued. Beyond that,
these publications serve as propaganda
for the administration and the kind of
work that it is doing and what it is pro-
posing still further to do. And the money
for this propaganda is coming out of the
pockets of the American people in the
shape Of taxes and more taxes
1t is quite necessary that the Govern
ment should provide information about
activities in which the public is inter-
ested. There should, however. be rule
of reason governing the character and
the quantity of such publications.
OF the huge expenditure for Govern
ment mailing only about S75O,0O0 is
chargeable to members of Congress, who
have the franking privilege. The remain
der of the S34,000000 which it costs to
send this franked material through the
mails is used by the executive depart
ments. A great deal has been said and
written about the use and abuse of the
franking privilege by members of the
House and Senate. 1t is time that
little light was thrown on what the
executive departments are doing along
this line.

proportion as zone in every five" and set
that as the mark at which Nazis should
aim. As stimulus to the industry to
solve without delay the problem of a
cheap machine. the chancellor promised
that Germany would within year or
two cease to depend on constitutional
raw materials and fuel from abroad.
The Reich has long way to go
before it can hope to match the United
States in either output or consumption
of automobiles. If German industry
should contrive as great manufac-
turing revolution as Henry Ford wrought
when he brought out his Model T some
quarter of century ago. Hitler's hope of
a peoples car" era might come within
the realm of realization. But as long
as Germans are compelled to squander
their substance on cannon instead of
butter-the requirement now ruthlessly
imposed upon them-the dream of
flivverized NaI nation on anything ap-
preaching conditions in this country is
not likely to materialize. It doubtless
makes der Fuehrer's head swim with
envy to learn that leading American
producers expect an aggregate output of
more than 2,5OO,0OO cars before the mid
die of June That is the kind of
target at which even the biggest Berthas
of German industry will shoot in vain
for long time to come.

Confusing Gratitude With
Power to Scrap Liberty
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
If Mr.. Roosevelt knew that the N r A.
was against our fundamental laws, why
did he not have separate law covering
the child labor clause? Or was the
clause put in purposely so that NJ r. A.
could force its power upon us over the
backs of our children? A child labor
law is good and necessary and the
President is to be commended for his
effort to rid us of this evil.
If he felt the need was SO great at
that time, why did he not take steps
to divorce the perfectly good child labor
law from the dictatorial N R. A.? Eight
cen months ago was the on-coming
election more important? While now
he cannot wait for the natural processes
of our common law? Why not put forth
propaganda which has been used most
effectively in some other lines in the
States concerning the child law?
Humanity, like river. must always
struggle to reach the main goal. Past
experience has taught us that too sud-
den changes or courses in rivers or hu-
man fundamental laws makes for de-
struction rather than the common good.
The English system which Mr.. Roose-
velt says is good enough for him to
copy is taking the peoples rights. In
England the system is used to Cypress
the poor Absolute power can be used
in any direction.

Taxicab Driver Approves
Judges Views on Speeding
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
May I be one in defense of Judge
Hits views on speeding here in Wash
ington? I have closely observed the
charges for speeding brought into the
Traffic Court and I can say that
great many of them are for such minor
infractions of the speed regulation that
the honorable judge should be COM
mended for the stand which he takes
that more judgment is not used by the
arresting officer.
Ir my opinion, if every motoriSt would
strictly observe the 22-mile speed limit
regulation during the rush hours in the
morning and afternoon, it would take
from ] hour to hour and As minutes
longer for the traffic to move into the
downtown area and to move out.
What we all know is that what we
really need in this city is more one
way streets and increased speed limit,
and above all, right-hand turn on a
red light in the outlying sections.
Just being taxi driver with more
than 100000 miles behind the wheel in
Washington traffic prompted my writing
this letter, that Judge Hit might know
that some one with f1rst-hand informa-
ton as to conditions certainly agrees
