AN EDITORS PRAYER

Blessed are the merchants
who advertise, for they have
faith in their business, and
their prosperity shall increase
many fold. Blessed is the
woman who sends in a writ

wedding, for she shall see
the details and names of her
guests correctly reported.
Blessed are those who do not
expect the editor to know
everything, but who tell him
whenever an interesting
event occurs in which they
are interested, for they shall
have a better newspaper in
their town. Blessed are they
who get their copy in early
for they shall occupy a warm
space in the editors heart.
Blessed are they who CO.

There's no excuse for any
one with a plot of ground
large enough for growing
vegetables not having a gar
den, and no matter what the
weather conditions are at
this moment, it is not too late
to start one that will prove a
fine investment before the
coming summer is over. Not
only is it a good investment,
but a garden affords healthy
and wholesome exercise, and
since many people fail to get
a sufficient amount of exer-
else it may also prove econom-

A LONG STEP

Congress has passed and
the president has signed the
new housing bill, and it is
now up to every citizen who
is anxious to secure a home
on the lowest and easiest
possible terms ever devised to
get busy and learn all about
it.
: The purpose of the meas
ure is to make possible vastly
increased business in the
building of modest homes by
government financing and at
the same time provide work
for the huge army of build
ing trades workers. The new
plan is attractive and it's pos
sibilities are great. It's invi-
tation is extended principally
to residents of the smaller
towns of the country, for the
present law gives little atten-
ton to a continuation of slum
clearance, There is one thing

for a poor preserving year.
This much is known for sure
the great volume for the
fruit crop in this country is
not far enough along the first
week in April to be wiped
out. 1t may be a total loss
in a few sections, but it
seems safe to assert that the
great bulk of it wintered the
storm and will, with the help
which old Mother Nature al
ways renders in the niche of
time, be in abundance. That
canning bridge is still an
other one that need not be
crossed until you get to it.

Uncle Sam has not had
time to make a complete sur
vey of the damage done fruit
and other vegetation by the
recent April snow and ice
storm which swept over the
entire Middle-West and a
large part of the western
area, but since the advance
discussion of it is not wide
spread and newspapers in but
few sections actually report
death dealing conditions
there appears no reason why
housewives should start
worrying for fear they are in

A FINE INVESTMENT ALWAYS

ton of having fresh, home
grown products for the din
ner table, right out of your
own garden instead of out of
your pocket, that stamps a
garden as worth while. We
know it is pretty hard to
keep from burning out"
under the hot suns that will
come a little later on, and it
takes a lot of fighting to lick
the weeds. But there is al
ways more genuine pleasure
in doing something hard than
something easy-and that is
just one more of the many
reasons why the man or
woman who is not garden
minded is losing out on a fine
investment.

that Uncle Sam will have to
bear in mind, however. When
a man invests $500 or $500 in
a new home, and undertakes
to pay the balance in the
next 20 years, he must have
confidence in the future. If
he is a working man, he must
feel that his job is secure; if
he is a small merchant, he
must believe that business is
not going to be hedged about
with so many restrictions
that he cannot continue.
Congress has taken a long
step forward by creating and
passing this new bill provid-
ing for more and better and
cheaper homes. Now it can
help this nationwide pro-
gram to become still more
effective by creating a conf
dence in the future that is
absolutely necessary to make
the whole setup a success.

might otherwise find votes against

Now, obviously, being one who is
unable to understand what is going
v,,.u,. on, what the plans

Work Now? that way, should
wait and see what
will come out of the pump this time.
But I am impatient. I am rather
cynical, too. Whenever these things
have failed to work once, l natural
ly have to be shown why they failed
once and will work the second or
the third or the fourth time they
are tried. Around many of the New
Deal propaganda bureaus, however,
] have been assured that the vast
spending plan will work this time.
Indeed, it was intimated to me that
Twas rather stupid, just plain dumb,
because failed to understand.
Really, the assurances given me by
the press agents has had much more
conviction than Mr.. Roosevelt's
speech.
One reader of my column wrote in
the other day to inquire whether
/ believed all of this spending meant
we are headed into imitation. At the
moment, am not much alarmed
about that. All of the markings for a
fine infationary period are avail
able. / mean that if congress were
to be stampeded by the confusion
that / have mentioned, there could
be a regular flood of printing-press
money. Congress, however, is not
going to be stampeded. The senti-
ment is too evenly divided for and
against the idea of spending our
way back to prosperity. There are
individuals in congress who actu-
ally think that the public debt of
the nation is already too large.
They think really that the new
spending ought to be limited just
to caring for the distressed unem-
ployed. OF all things, they would
refuse to vote out more money un-
less that money were to be used
for feeding and clothing people.
think should mention also that
there are a goodly number of per-
sons at the capitol who have low
cred themselves to the level Of play
ing politics, They are even ridicul-
ing our President. They are saying
that most businesses, little as well
as big, have lost confidence in Mr..
Roosevelt and that it does not mat
ter whether the New Deal spends
one billion or ten, it will fail to re-
store that confidence. Being a SIM
ple-minded soul, just stand by
and listen to that. On the other
hand, the heads of three important
magazine publishing houses have
told me lately that their adver-
Using contracts are being cancelled
right and left. The national adver-
Users have told the publishers they
have to conserve what money they
have because they don't know what
is going to happen.
/ do not understand why they are
so frightened. You will remember
Mr.. Roosevelt SAID he had urged
congress to enact only four laws
that would affect business. That is,
four this session. One of these is
the bill, as described by the Presi-
dent, "to put floor under wages and
ceiling over the hours of labor" All
that legislation would do, of course,
is bankrupt businesses here and
there. But those can't be success
full anyway. They haven't made
any money in several years and
why worry about them.

in Plans be assumed he did
not want to dis
turb business by calling attention to
them. Matters of taxation, for in
stance. I am told in this connection
that the tax rates must 60 higher
next year. There is going to be a
much larger deficit in the Treasury
than was anticipated in January
when I wrote in these columns how
the budget was going to be bal
anced next year under plans out
lined by the President. Something
slipped in those plans. Now, they
don't know at the Treasury when
the budget can be balanced. Sure

something more than three billions
to be spent out of next years money

ing so much trouble!
hope I have not made this
Washington situation appear too
mixed up. The circumstance has
me quite puzzled, as I have plainly
tried to say.
There has been story, a rumor,
in circulation in Washington about
tiff between Mr.. Roosevelt and Vice
President Garner. Not that believe
in recording mere rumor, but more
because OF sentence that was re-
portedly used by Mr.. Garner, want
to write about it. The Vice Presi-
dent is lovable soul, kind and ami
able. He has a number of Texas
expressions that appeal to me be-
cause they say so much in so few
words.
Well, according to the rumor, Mr..
Garner and a group of COMPRESSION
al leaders were in conference with
the President. They were talking
about the depression, or maybe the
recession. What to do about it; how
to meet it, and what the causes
were. The President, it seems, has
been sold the idea of this spending
program as an aid to business. a
printing of the pump. Rumor has
it that Mr.. Garner was asked what
he thought could be done. His re-
ply, a typical Garner answer, was:
"Why don't you let the cattle put
on some fat, Chief"
The President was reportedly
quite displeased with the idea con-
p..y veyed, an idea

MP. Roosevelt subsequently denied
the report vehemently, even rather
angrily. There has been no denial
or confirmation from Mr.. Garner.
He has been so silent about the
thing that it is positively thunder

rumor, but do know that Mr.. Gar
ner's silence has convinced thou

basis in fact for the report. In anv

So. Mr.. Editor, if you are still
with me, let me say that the new
spending program is going to be
no more successful in restoring the
country to prosperity than the earli-
er attempts. The nation can spend
$4oo' 200, 900 in constructing new Duh
