GN.S) The Senate campaign
investigating committee Wednes-
day or Thursday will consider
a complaint against the recent
statement of Works Progress Ad-
miniStrator Harry L. Hopkins that
80 per cent of those on relief rolls
are supporters of President Roose-
welt.
Senator Morris Sheppard CD0,
Texas, committee chairman, re-
vealed today that a suggestion has
been made that the committee
call Hopkins to come before it
and explain" his statement.
This suggestion, he said, will
be carefully considered when the
committee meets, with complaints
from several States on the agenda.
Hopkins has already drawn
comment from the campaign COM
mittee, because of his verbal in
dorsement of the administration
candidate in the Iowa senatorial
primary, Representative Otha
Wearin. The committee, after
studying Hopkins statement that
If he voted in Iowa he would
vote for Wearin, said formally
that the statement was "unfortu-
nate"

An important fact is his strong

IN his spare time he dismantled both, took the
best parts out of each and reassembled them
into one engine.
This was the plane and this was the engine
that took him from Los Angeles to New York.
and thence to Dublin in two hops.
And because he persstently forgot to fill out

claimed, would safeguard him if he ever lost his

In line with the foregoing consider the shock
ing facts that onethird of the people of the
United States is dependent directly or indirectly
on Government checks.
In the next six months, the United States News
points out, the total check receivers will approach
$4,000, 900. The previous highwater mark was
1896. with II 100000 people, Five years ago the
total Federal check receivers stood at slightly
more than 1000, ,OO0
Total Ls OUer 4O,OOO,OOO
IF TO THIS 100000 were added members of
their families and other dependents having
direct interest in the check from the Govern
ment. the complete total would pass 10000 900
persons. This includes 100000 affected by
workrelief program and socialsecurity program
100000 involved in the farm program and
other millions dependent on Government workers
and pensioners.
During the six months that began July /, more
than $2,OOO 100000 should go to these check
receivers. On an annual basis this amounts to
81, 1000, 100000 Much of this amount is raised
by borrowing. The Government has been unable
to raise by taxation enough money to pay these
checks the total of which is steadily increasing.

WOULD HURT
WITHDRAWAL of the good

sound like much, but it would
be serious to CSrdenas. Few here
believe he will let the situation
get around to that.
1t would be negative action
but it would hurt, for instance
on silver and tariffs. Authori-
ties here can remember an occa-
sion not so long ago when the
Mexican government needed
money badly and placed some
heavy tariffs to get it. This
Government overlooked the op-
portunity for serious complaint,
simply because Of sympathy.

Nothing has occurred to alter or modify that

Nature has blessed the country with most boun-

yields Of foodstuffs tend to keep down the cost

The volume Of freight has just reached new

up. Retail trade has been distinctly brisker.
The Government is feverishly pumping out
money in many directions. It plans to spend
this fiscal year some $4,000000 900 in excess Of
its income. While the long-range wisdom Of this
may be questioned, the immediate effects can
hardly fail to be stimulating.

In Fairness to Parents
THERE are tremendous forces working against
l. sincere mothers and fathers today The world
is changing and shifting, and don't think it is
fair to blame the parents when their children go
aStray. Remember, child loves the fire; but let
him burn his little hand once and he is mighty
careful of it from then on. That, to me, is the
way our young people are taking life today. They
want to 60 out; they want to taste adventure, ex-
citement, and run off the rails for a short time.
But have great faith in my heart that if
the parents will have patience and understanding
and never nag, most children will realize their
folly and turn out to be splendid men and
women.
Mr.. Hoover says, above everything else. he
would try to understand his son." Well, if any
human being can understand any other human
being in this world, have yet to see this miracle.
Judge Bentley says her hope would be that when
she was seen with her child people would say.
There 60 mother and daughter. they seem so
devoted" This is a beautiful dream. The children
today are old in their hearts before their time.
About the only thing we can do for our darlings
is to play the game straight with them; back
them up and let them always feel that mother is
there when they need her.
