economic Stability through taxation
Tugwell was a Columbia University professor
called in by Ray Moley an agricultural eX-
pert in the 1882 campaign. He never helped
turn out the Roosevelt speeches. AS Assistant
Secretary and Undersecretary of Agriculture, with
increasing Importance as general adviser TO
President who he thought believed in new So
cial order Tugwel worked as hard and as best
he knew how for more ideal civilization.
As ReSettlement Administrator Tugwell inher-
tied rural rehabilitation loans, subsistence home
steads a land acquisition program and other
sour messes to which were added his own COM
nunity housing experiments with their handicap
OF required relief labor
Friends and roes disagree as to whether Tug
well had administrative ability. Some bad mis-
takes were made in early personnel. Some waste,
inefficiency and maladministration appeared.
Tugwel allowed himself to be pushed or drawn
into conflict with the more compromising, go
slow "Frankfurter liberals" This split added
confusion to an already confused New Deal
Then Wallace, urged by the old AAA crowd,
refused to take RA into the Department of Agri-
culture if Tugwell to head it. Tugwell
resigned to accept executive vice presidency of
Charlie Taussig's American Molasses Company.
Tugwell's influence is not all gone. He is
intimate with Harry Hopkins, Roosevelts present
chief adviser and other New Dealers. TugweH
corresponds with Roosevelt but has passed up
invitations to come and visit

FOUR MILLION MEN
AND THE ISM MENACE

Americans who deserve the name will
applaud President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor for his
promise before the New York convention
of the American Legion that the A. F. of
L. "will always stand as a barrier"
against the advance of Communism, Fas-
cism, Nazi-ism and like beliefs in this
country.
Four million dues paying members of
the A. F. of L. are aligned firmly behind
the American system of government as
opposed to the beliefs spawned by Euro
pean relationships, Green told the Le-
gionnaires. In a day when almost any
orackpot brand of political or social
sabotage can win certain amount of
dead-brained followers, the pronounce
ment is a very cheering one.
The crackpots, the opportunists and
the swift-change artists may make more
noise than anyone else in the political
amphitheater, but as long as there is a
close understanding by the calmer and
quieter elements in this country, there
is no real danger that plans for radical
changes in the American system will be
brought to fruit.

THE HIPASS CAMP
WINS APPROVAL

Imperial Valley folks since the begin
ming of the project have realized at least
some of the benefits of the Hipass Health
Camp, but it was not until recently that
this institution came into statewide and
even nationwide fame as one of the AM
erican Legion's most worthwhile child
welfare projects. That fact alone should
bring to us here an even clearer realiza-
tion of the things our friends in the
American Legion and its auxiliary or
ganizations have accomplished at Hipass
Forty-three of the SO children enrolled
at Hipass this year were definitely un-
derweight and undernourished-a the
43 gained an average of 2.94 pounds
while at the camp. Any mother, school
teacher or nurse can tell you that this
gain in weight will be reflected during
the current school season by better
learning and attendance records on the
part of the children.
Through the ambitious program car
ried on at Hipass every summer, children
enrolled there are given a start toward
better citizenship. Through companion
ship with other children of their own
age, in healthy outdoor environment,
they learn the lessons of tolerance and
friendship which are SO important in
anyone's life. Through planned diets and
exercise, their physical being is improv-
ed 1t would be hard to imagine any
thing else that could be done.
To the American Legion posts of I'M
perial Valley goes full credit for the
inauguration and continued successful
operation of Hipass, but to the communi-
ty comes the satisfaction of supporting
such an entirely useful project. Any
community which failed to give whole
hearted support to such a project, at
tempting to make it better year after
year. would be lacking in the things
which make place worth living in.

Perhaps the most discouraging
thing about the case of Justice HUI
20 Black and the Ku Klux klan
is its revelation of the defective
standard of public morality cur
rent among politicians.
A senator or considerable service
and distinction, Mr.. Black is nomi-
mated to the Supreme Court and
duly confirmed. Then comes the
charge that he was and still Is a
qualified member of the Klan. I'M
mediately a whole host of brother
politicians come forward to give
testimony on the case, pro and con,
and in all of their talk you can
notice one peculiar thing.
They joined the Klan. many l
these men, not because they be-
lieved in it or felt that is policies
and ideals were sound, but simply
because 1t looked like the polite
thing to do; and they assume that
Mr.. Black joined it, If he did join
it, for the same reason.

IT'S STILL A MANS WORLD
(San Rafael IndeDeudent)

With the advent of hostesses on railroad trains
comes also the prediction that the Pullman por-
ter with his spotless jacket, his toothy grin and
his "Yassauh, boss" will soon be as extinct as
the buggy whip.
Don't believe it. AS long as travelling sales
men ride the rails and as long as congenialy
locouacous gents still congregate in the smoker
there always will be pullman porter lurking
somewhere around.
Hostesses may be chic and they may have
personality plus" as the roads advertise. But
YOU couldn't slip half a dollar into one of their
palms and get that upper Il changed magicaly
into lower seven.
And when bright-eyed young hostess pokes
her head into the berth to announce, Thirty
minutes to Buffalo sir" then that will be go
ing too far. The porter still has his place on
trains

Bruce Cation Says:>>
KIan Case Discoses Lax Political Morals

That is to say that according
to the prevailing code In politics,
candidate for office may join
any group under the sun and sub
scribe to the most fantastic OF
creeds without actually commit
ting himself to anything, If he has
reason to believe that a fairly sub
stantial block of his constituents
are interested. 1t is taken for
granted that he will do such things
with his fingers crossed; that his
oath of allegiance" If he gives
it to fraternity, club or political
group, means nothing more than
a vague gesture of good will.
1t is precisely this widespread
acceptance of a lax, easy-going
way of dealing with things which
ought to be matters of definite
conviction that is so discouraging.
Now the Klan, in the days when
it had its health, advocated a most
rigid and incorporating set Of
principles. No man could be neu-
trail about it. You either believed
in the things the Klan advocated
or you actively disbelieve6 In them.
If you were man Of honor-as
non politicians understand the
word-you could not conceivably
pretend to believe in them when
you actually did not believe.
All of which makes some of these
politicians remarks about the
Black case almost incredible. Why,
they say, if Black joined the Klan,
he did it just because everybody
was doing it; he didn't believe In
the Klan's program-in fact he
was a good friend to the Catholics
and Jews in his state. We all joined
the Klan in those days, and 1t
didn't mean thing.
Which is where they are wrong.
It did mean something. It meant
that in the world of politics We
have developed a moral code which
would shame a Botany Bay exile;
that the men who make a profess
sion of seeking and holding public
office have built up an atmos-
phere in which the very nature
of truth and simple decency get
lost to view.
That such an atmosphere exists
is even more disheartening than
the prospect that we may get a
Supreme Court justice who holds
passport in the Invisible Empire.

New York Day by Day
By O. O. Mcintyre

than Russ Cole, the cartoonist.
Middle West born, the big town is to
him, a Bagdad where adventure
turks around every corner. He
takes 1t afoot as all expert prowlers
do. Saturday and Sunday he de-
votes to rambling. He knows every
mile of Staten Island, unknown
to most New Workers. He dimes at
many of the ancient inns, almost
the same as they were in revolu-
tionary days. He explores the pawn
shops of the Bowery, sits in the
sullen atmosphere of upstairs hotel
offices, listening TO the humble of
dead hopes, and talks to hardy
figures along the water front Bert
Lytell, the actor, is another prowl-
er who has covered Manhattan
Island from tip to tip afoot.
Somehow I grow increasingly
crotchety about over = exploitation.
Edgar Bergen's Charlie Mccarthy
is a case in point. In the beginning
I caroled his capers in type and in
talk. He seemed the perfect enter
tainment. Then he went haywire
about publicity, climaxing it the
other week with that phoney that
he had been the cause of a broken
engagement between Bergen and
some actress. In my city editing
days it would not have gotten
line. So Charlie to me has become
just another smart aleck, and I
hate smart alecks and hope my
buddie, w. G. Fields, smacks him

NEW YORK, Sept. 23-New York
has innumerable boys and girls
who are already living in the past.
Strange youth that expresses the
yearning OF the old folk in their
remembering when. These are
youngsters whose gilded teens were
brought to a sudden stop by the
crack-up.
They had their ponies and dog
carts. Some had roadsters, charge
accounts galore, and they joined
the seasonable hegiras to Palm
Beach and Europe. They were too
young to understand, have never
recovered from the bolt of light
ming, and are wondering the why
of things.
Like the elders of other genera
tions, they cannot keep from dwell
ing on better days. They like to
tell stories that give them opportu-
nifty to refer to nurses, governesses,
tutors, the fully equipped play rooms
and of their brief stays at fash
ionable boarding schools.
Hundreds of these youths now
live in walk-ups or in one of the
all alike cottages on some lost
street of suburb. They spend
their days searching for jobs they
cannot find. Entertainment con-
sists of one evening week at a
double movie feature ad a snack
at a hamburger hutch.
