The Larger Budget
(NeW York World-Telegra

(New York World Telegraph It was fitting that President Roosevelt talked as he did at Bonneville Dam about conservation. For the Northwest country in which he spoke still retains most of it's natural wealth and beauty.
 While promising tc balance the Federal budget next year the President also promised to do all he could toward what David Cushman Coye calls bal ancing the resources budget" That means Keeping the nations human and natural wealth from being depleted It wise use of our national capital It is what the corporations call maintenance.
 My conception of liberty does not permit an individual citizen or group of citizens, MT Roose- welt said ito commit acts of depreciation against nature in such way as to harm their neighbors and especially to harm the future generations of Amer cans
 Those who think America has played the part of wise husbandman in the past should read book called Rich Land, Poor Land" by Stuart Chase It one of the saddest books of generations for it tells how our get-rich-quick ancestors have brought to this lovely wealthaden continent stinkng rivers, charred forests, the ncomparable filth of cities,
 the wretched shacks of tenant farmers along Tobacco Road"
 Not more than one-tenth of the old virgin forests remain The virgin grassands have been burned overgrazed and powed and washing and blowing away Some 10OO000O0 acres of formerly cultivated other minerals have been shameessly wasted Wild life has been vanishing from streams, lakes forests and plains
 President Roosevelt thinks should stop this wasting He thinks that the wise use, the replensh- ing and the developing of these is as much la part of national housekeeping balancing the Federal budget. And these problems more and more Americans have to think as the President does.

If Rum0rs Were Facts
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer) The story is going round among the American businessmen in Shanghai that President Roosevelt lis unwilling to uphold American rights in China by la strong policy because he needs the political sup port of Southern Democrats" And the South sells much of its cotton to Japan According to this some7 what complex bit of reasoning, the Solid South IS sodly pro-Japanese and is exertng pressure on the President to recall Americans from China, thereby letting the Japanese have free hand on the Asiatic mainlandl
 This fancful theorem could easily be matched by Americans at home who are demanding a strict lso- ation policy They are neither pro-Japanese nor Chinese. They mercy want to keep out of war And to that end they urge the recall of Americans from the and abandonment of special rights in China These extremists the other wing might well notice that the President has just talked with MT James A. Moffett high official of the Standard Oil Company.
 The Standard Oil Company has enormous invest ments in China quite possibly the largest of any Am erican corporation. It undoubtedly would prefer to see the American Government take a strong position in the Far East and hold it regardless of the risks So if ones imagination is any good at all, the visit of MT Moffett is both significant and sinister It is a proof that our Far Eastern policy is mperialistc
 Actually neither view has much to commend it. The American businessmen in Shanghai are for getting that peace for the United States is far more important than the safety of their investments in the war area And the zealots who would abandon
 those nationals who consistently stay in the war-torn region are forgetful of the long tradition which gives this country right and obligation to maintain its special position in the Far East.
 The governments policy is moderate one. It attempts avoid any serious risk of war, but at the same time it seeks to give reasonable protection to Americans abroad and the legal rights under which they have been doing business Neither the invest ments of Standard Oil the "pro-Japanese cotton growers can be said to have supplanted the Admlnis- ration and the State Department as the agency for making foreign policy

THE SPANIARD WHO DISCOVERED
 AMERICA

At o'clock this morning 445 years ago. sailor by the name of Rodrigo de Triana aboard the good ship Nina went running to the commanding officer to announce that he had sighted land The place off San Salvador commonly known as Waiting Island in the West Indies, and the commanding officer Christopher Columbus, the man, who, to- day more than 400 years afterward is acclaimed as the person who discovered America While techni- caly it Rodrigo de Triana the Spanish sailor who really first sighted land in the New World Columbus whose courage drove the old-fashioned hazardous sailing ships across the then unexpored sea until the goal was reached Thus it is that today the nation observes Columbus Day, in honor of the man who discovered the New World
 But the history of the discovery is old stuff. It is however interesting to note that it was the banner of Spain which planted by Columbus on San Sal vador 445 years ago and compare the Spain of that day with the little country in the south of Europe which is today torn with internal strife Spain was of the great powers in those halcony days of Co., lumbus Today Spain is not only of the lesser powers but if civil war continues she may be no power at all; perhaps, only a puppet state for the great Fascist movement which is rapidly gaining strength abroad
 Why has Spain deteriorated through the cen- turies until today she is torn with civil while in the New World our own country has grown into a great nation, world power2
 Perhaps it is freedom the guarded right of every man and woman to worship and to live he or she sees fit At any rate, it is for paving the way to colonization in the New World and the ultimate es- tablishment of a nation built and thriving on free dom of the individual that today we pay tribute to Columbus, the Spaniard who discovered America, but whose great achievement lacked the spark to keep his own country in the fore ranks of nations

Horoscope "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, l9sr

AStroloers read this as an unim- portant day in planetary direction The stars appear to favor labor de- mands, although there may be de- termined opposition. Public opinion regarding public policies will be vacilating Bitter criticism of public men will con tinue to be voiced
 Discomfort with things as they fare will be widespread in the United States, despite the improvement and recovery enjoyed by all classes.
 Under this configuration there may be much self-deception. The seers warn that this nation cannot long maintain peace if war spreads in Europe.
 ] On the Pacific Coast much work for defense against foreign war ships is forecast. A spy scare is prophesied.
 While this rule prevails intrigue land other devious methods will ob- tain in politics. Reform move mentS will be numerous but inef- fectual.
 Attention to dress will be a fea- ture of the winter when uniforms will be numerous in many parts of the country Women will cultivate distinctive attire.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of perplexities in business matters. Death may af- feet certain firms that influence the incomes of women. Children born on this day prob ably will be intellectual and tal- ented. Subjects of this sign usu- ally are restive under all delays
 Charles Sprague Pearce, painter, was born on this day 1851. Others who have celebrated it as a birth day include Edward Baldwin Glea- son, physician, 1854; Harold Har- lis Bailey, ornithologist, 1879.

MODERN ETIQUETTE By Roberta Lee

@. What is really the best test of family's breeding by which a guest can determine whether the family is worth cultivating?
 A. Probably the real test is the etiquette of the children. If a child stands at his chair at the table until the adults are seated, if he waits until the guest is served before he begins to eat, if he doesn't jump up from the table and run away, if he doesn't interrupt a con- versation, it reflects good breed ling.
 Q. When a woman is eating in restaurant, should she place her purse and gloves on the corner of the table?
 A. No; she should hold them in her lap.
 o. What gifts may a girl send to man who is ill?
 A. Books and flowers.

abolished the tortured democracy of the lobby ist and irresponsible legislator. It may not have enacted the favored bills of particular groups but if it ran wide of public opinion, it will have to answer with the political careers of its several members next election day. In other words, unicameralism in Nebraska has tuned the state capital in on the peoples station. On June IA Senator Norris said, When the work of this legislature has been fully understood and analysed it will have it's influence upon many other states in the
 Union and in time will result in the abolish ment of the old two-house legislature, with
 it's powerful and indeferSible conference com-
 mittee in many other states besides Nebraska"

NEBRASKA SUCCEEDS"

With Alaska scheduled to vote next year neither it favors one-house, or unicameral leg ature, some of the results of the recent experime l Nebraska, where the plan has been tried, are ps cularly interesting. The publication Law Nott on the Nebraska trial under the headi Succeeds" makes this comment:
 The bipartisan legislators of NebraskaS first one-house legislature have departed from Lincoln, leaving behind a record which has been variously summarized by friends and foes of unicamerasm. Employers of children be- leve the millennium ushered in with the legislature and the advocates of fair trade act concur in the belief; for the 43 mem bers composing the single chamber legislature voted against the Federal child labor amend ment and wrote fair trade act upon their statute book. However, bankers who saw this legislature extend the moratorium law for two years can not be expected to be enthusiastic supporters of unicameralism.
 MT. Average Citizen in Nebraska like his brothers in forty-seven other states judges the value of a political institution on the basis of personal utility: if it puts money in his pockets, lifts the family mortgage, or in any manner adds to his material comforts, it is a commendable institution, worthy of his whole hearted support But if the government or gan in question gives him cause for lamenta- tion or crosses swords with his predilectons on political issues, MT. Average Cltlzen Will carry his averaging pencil to the ballot box and press his disapproval with an eloquent check. It is this personal method of judging political institutions which explains the diversity of opinion to the success of Nebraska's uni cameral legislature. However, for those willing to weigh results with that fine discretion given statesmen, there be but one conclusion about Nebraska $ new legislature: it has sue ceeded.
 Sponsors of unicameralism particularly Senator George w. Norris who fathered the movement in Nebraska, see that its greatest boon to the dismal jungle of state politics would be the enlightening ray of individual responsibility it would focus upon the legisla- tor They believed that a singe-chamber legislature would eliminate the art of "dodging responsibility art which members of two-house legislatures have developed with consummate skill They right. There was no conference committee behind which the unicameral legislator could hide his true record while posing before his constituents as a Solon or Lycurgus; consequently he must stand or fall upon his record as written in the journal if he seeks the indulgence of his con- Stituents to another term in office
 On this point Senator Norris made the fol- lowing statement: T hope to see the people of Nebraska, insthe next legislative election sep arate the wheat from the chaff and not only defeat the member who had made bad rec ord, but. also reelect the member who has made good record 2 Thus Nebraska's unicameral legislature has given the people of Nebraska genuine representative democracy and has
