Politics

Choicest haven for U. S. old peo-
pie is sunny California, which an
nually beckons retiring farmers who
want escape from midwestern WIN
tiers. Before Depression, many
farmers leased or sold their home
steads and went to California expect
ing to enjoy old age on this in
come. Not expected were drouth
and low prices which wiped out this
revenue, making California para
dox in whose Utopian climate men
were going hungry.
Since Utopian climates may pro-
duce Utopian ideas, 1884 found Up
ton Sinclair barely missing guber-
Material election with an elaborate
pension plan called EPIC END Pow

Francis E. Townsend whose old age
revolving pension of 5000 a month
went into eclipse last year when
business got better, has since come
back with new vigor.
Townsendism' chief onetime sup
porter was 54-year-old Sheridan
Downey, who wrote a book called
"Why I Believe in the Townsend
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1938-10-06

Plan" But month ago Sheridan
Downey won Democratic senatorial
nomination on a new plan that gives
California's orthodox fnanciers a
bad case of jitters, that has
far greater implications than either
EPIC or Townsendism.
The Man: Soft-voiced Sheridan
Downey attended the University of
Wyoming, entered politics at "a by
winning the county attorneyship at
Laramie while his wife worked for
women's suffrage. Now living in
San Francisco's exclusive, suburban
Anterior, Pensioneer Downey gar
nered enough votes to beat Sen. Will
liam Gibbs McAdoo in the primary
last month.
The Plan: Extraordinarily"
springs from a seed transplanted
last year from far-away Austria.
Original sponsor was one Robert
Noble, whose radio lectures urged
SIS every Monday for each Califor-
MAN over so. Later sponsor was Hol-
lywood Attorney Lawrence Allen
who changed payday from Monday
to Thursday, boosted payments from
$25 to $50. To each, every Thurs
day, would go 80 state warrants
valued at ST apiece. On the back
of each warrant would be spaces
for So two-cent state stamps to be
purchased in cash. Once each week,
Californians would dig out all war
rants in their possession, affixing
stamp to each. Thus at years end
each warrant would have $1.04 in
two-cent stamps, would be traded
by the state for 81 in cash. Extra
four cents would cover costs.
Though $3.50 every Thursday"
dares not infringe on the U. S. right
to coin money, pension warrants
would nevertheless be valid for in
sra-state taxes and debts Except
gasoline tax and pension stamps).
Private business need not accept
warrants, but so per cent of all state
purchases must be paid with them.
Biggest stumbling block is that
pension warrants would largely
eliminate California's use of U. S.
legal tender, yet the state must dig
up about $500, 000, 900 in Uncle Sam S
cash on January l, 1910, to redeem
warrants which would be issued
next year to at least 100000 pen
sioneers. To make matters worse,
1895 state revenue from stamp
sales would be. only 1922, 750, 000

Free Silver" Issue

The Gree Silver" movement
was an agitation for bimetallism,
the use of both silver and gold as
equal standard money, with free,
unrestricted and independent coin
age of both at a fixed ratio Of
Is of silver to l of gold. The
United States had been legally
upon bimetallic basis until the
Civil war. In the revision of the
coinage laws in 1873, the silver
dollar was demonetized and gold
became the nominal standard of
money in this country.
At the opening of the Democrat
ic convention in 1896, William Jen-
nings Bryan was not prominent
candidate, but after the famous
speech on the money question he
made great Roadway and was
nominated on the fifth ballot.

Simpler than Inflated NRA, the

Cooperation Of Business Sought
By Wage-Hour Law Administrator
Andrews Pictures Industry of Country Mainly Decent
Will Depend on Citizens, Not Inspectors, to Make
Law Work; Warns Against Chiselers.
By WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press Bldg. Washington, D. c.

WASHINGTON.-Mr. Elmer F.
Andrews hasn't been in Washington
long enough yet to become either
widely praised or cordially hated,
but he has started on his job as adj
ministrator of the new wage and
hour law, and so it will not be long
until the country knows him. He
has tough job; one of the toughest,
indeed, since Gen. Hugh Johnson
tried to run MIRA. Thus, it seems
proper to review and examine some
of Mr.. Andrews announcements
since he came into the admins
tration.
His main theory of proceeding
with new and wholly untried policy
of law is to gain cooperation of bust
ness, the business which the law is
to effect. He pictures the industry of
the country as mainly decent, as
willing to do the right thing, and to
that extent certainly he is entitled to
commentator. For, all too often in
the last five years, all business has
been grouped by first one New Deal
er and then another, as being
crooked. Mr.. Andrews feels appar-
emily that business is honest until
its records show it to be dishonest,
and then to apply the lash to the in
dividuals, and not the whole indus
try, as wrOngdOerS.
"We are going to depend upon the
citizens of the United States, not an
army of inspectors from Washing
ton, to make this law work." Mr..
Andrews said in recent speech.
The administrator further es-
poused the policy of giving the states
the job of enforcement within their
jurisdictions as far as that can be
done. To this, he added that the
law enables worker to sue for dou-
BILE the amount due if any employer
fails to pay the minimum wage, ex-
planning that this provision takes
one enforcement phase out of the
hands of the federal government and
creates watchmen of every worker.
Since the law, with its minimum of
Is cents an hour becomes effective
October "a, (where interstate ship
ments of products are concerned)
Mr.. Andrews obviously believes that
individual workers will get pretty
well acquainted with their rights be-
fore the effective date.

lineup of European power would
place Germany at disadvantage.
Prague, virtually shut off from
the world since her mobilization,
heard that Russia's numbering, un-
tested military giant was poised to
bring aid. Thoroughly scared,
France called almost every reserv-
list to the colors, had ], 800, 900 troops
along her Maginot line, advised Pa
risians to evacuate. Also scared,
Britain called Parliament, inspect
ed ARP (air raid precautions) equip
ment, finally ordered partial mobi-
lization. With October l but a few
hours away, Europe wondered
whether her No. buffer would be
outbluffed by rank amateurs.

times than not is used as means of
vengeance, of getting even" with
someone who is disliked.
1t has been many years since bust
ness, generally, was said to have a
policy of ''the public be damned. I"
There can be no doubt that business
conscience has changed immeasura-
bly, since those days. 1t is apparent,
for example, that two of the really
great sins of employers, namely, op-
preston of labor and defrauding of
labor, have largely passed out of ex-
istence. Competitors seem to be
watching each other in that regard
and union labor officials have lent a
hand. An employer no longer is re-
ceived among decent people once it
is learned that he has cheated his
workers of their wages.
Now, Mr.. Andrews says that one
of the things he hopes to accomplish
is to "clean out dark corners" That
is to say, to finish the job of helping
industry get rid of that low level of
humanity which, by virtue of it's
momentary power as an employer,
Expresses labor or refuses to pay
wages earned. Surely, the co-opera-
ton of employers and workers alike
is required in this effort. Honest
employers have much to gain by
having the clark corners" cleaned
out and disinfected with a good
grade of roach powder. But again,
it is being pointed out in many con-
versations, the administrator must
be on guard as to the sources of his
information. Irreparable harm can
come from missteps in filing charges
of violation because of the trend in
public consciousness towards gener-
al fairness-of which the wage and
hour labor is an evidence

Relics of a Vanished Race

Recent discoveries of the relics of

the finds confirm the theory that in
ancient times there was a non-black

ert. The discoveries were made by
a French expedition led by Dagain

they found objects of high artistic
standard, including the bronze head
of gazelle, satuettes and earrings.
