DR.. S.S. Goldwater, commissioner
of hospitals for the city of New York,
declared in a public statement recent
ly that depression conditions make
imperative the expansion of health
and welfare agencies. Unemployment,
he said, means rising sickness rates.
The sick rates rose as the family
income fell, and the sickness index
of families on relief was highest
of all.
"Bad business conditions" said DR..
Goldwater, Should be signal for
immediate expansion of corrective as
well as preventive facilities all along
the line. People who are periodically
i'll are less apt to be self supporting
than those who are WELL"
Isn't this a good time to do some
thing about it? Wouldn't it be the
wisest kind of move to put size
able slice of the sum set aside for
white collar projects" in the recov-
cry bill into health work?
Heaven knows that health work of
every imaginable kind is needed in
this country. In large regions of the
South, the working power of the pop
ulation is sapped to an appalling ex-
tent by malaria.
In large industrial quarters and cit
les in the North, the disabling illness
rate goes up from 120 to 208 per 1000
soon after the payroll stops.
We know at last that poverty is the
deadliest of all diseases; that in pro-
portion to numbers, three times as
many unskilled laborers as profes-

Can Washington Horn In
On q States Policies?

There lis yet another element in
volved in the situation precipitated
by Mr.. Roosevelt's Warm Springs
statement. It involves the question
directly whether a state shall de-
termine its own policies or have
them dictated from Washington.
Only few days ago, the depart
ment of labor disclosed that it was
trying to persuade all Of the states
to pass legislation exactly like the
federal law governing wages and
hours of workers. The departments
bureaucrats have drafted a model
law which they are trying eagerly
to get the states to adopt, so that
business within a state will be sub
jected to the same provisions as bus
mess operating across state lines.
That same course was pursued when
MIRA was young and before it was
discovered that the blue eagle had
more feathers in one wing than it
had in the other.
These things are dangerous. Once
such tactics are successful, they are
followed by demands and COM
mands Of broader scope.

Presidents Statement May
Be Clever Political Move

I am in no position to know
whether the failure of Georgia to
obey the Roosevelt command enter
ed into the discourse that has since
become an issue. Nor am I well
enough acquainted with New Deal
plans to say whether the President
has taken his first step for 1910 con-
vention delegates in this way. It is
possible obviously, that the Warm
Springs statement may be a clever
political move. Think of it this
way: by starting row, the Presi-
dent possibly could be laying the
groundwork for uniting the anti
George forces. If they are united
and fighting, it is within the realm
Of possibilities that they could take
the Georgia delegation out of Sen
ator Georgeb control in 1910. That
would be a great victory for the
radical element Of the Democratic
party.
Then, too, the Warm Springs dec
laration may be designed to have
an effect on the forthcoming con-
gress. I think it goes without say
ing that the new congress Is going
to be very much different than that
which it supplants. For one thing,
there will be less-very much less
money voted for the administration
to use as it sees fit. There will be q
bloody battle before congress again
writes out blank checks for Hop
kins or Harold Ickes to use. It Is
likely, indeed, that there will be
some rather rigorous Investigations
Of things already done under the
blank check appropriations of
money. If the investigations are
thorough, there will be a stencil rise
from the committee room where the
job is done. Thus, If Mr.. Roosevelt
hopes, by the Warm Springs state
ment, to awaken a fresh thirst for
money among local politicians thru
out the country, it may be a piece
Of clever politics.
Whatever the purpose of the criti-
cism of the Georgia prohibition
against borrowing, it can not alter
the fundamentals of the situation.
Georgia, as a state, is better off. Is
will be far better off 10 years from
now when the country has sorted

President 1rked by Georgia's
Refusal to Alter Constitution
state Will Get No Mo re Money From Federal
Government; Possibilities of Staggering Burdens
Of Taxation Pointed Out by Hoover and Byrd
BY WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Pres Bldg, Washington. d

WASHINGTON. - The state of
Georgia has a provision in its state
sonstitution that effectively pre-
ants an accumulation of state
ssht It is one of the few states
ssvinp such a constitutional inhi-
hition of that kind. But the fact
that such a provision exists in Geor-
aja suddenly becomes momentous in
she ewes and minds of the New
nealers. headed by the President,
,;mself. Because it is in the news,
however, Mr.. Roosevelt's criticism
n the provision forces a review Of
the facts and implications flowing
from that charter provision.
Mr.. Roosevelt said recently while
cojourning at Warm Springs, Ca,
as he does frequently, that Georgia
uill get no more federal money. His
particular peeve at Georgia re-
suited from the fact that the state
has not amended its constitution to
hermit it to borrow directly from
agencies of the federal government
as most other states have done
With federal money flowing like
streams at flood. The President was
disgusted with Georgia's attitude;
hence the federal government is all
through with giving the state more
money. ~
OF course, it is only my opinion
the opinion of only one observer
but it nevertheless strikes me that
in years to come the citizens Of
many states will have. cause to re-
ret the absence of such. provisions
from their respective state constitu-
tons. It Is only a question Of time.
Politicians and over-zealous advo-
Gates Of improvements" and the
Ike have been rushing to the fed
ral feed trough in droves carrying
away checks. They have borrowed
billions from the national govern
ment; they have received grants or
gifts of other billions for the coun-
try as q whole on condition that
they put up additional funds to
match or equal the federal gift and
they in consequence now are loaded
down with debt. So I say there will
be cause for regret that so few
states have the same provision as
Georgia has when the time comes
for payment. There must be taxa

President on Wrong Track
In Lambasting Georgia


When Mr.. Roosevelt was giving
the people Of Georgia a tongue
flashing, therefore, believe he was
on the wrong track. He was lam
basting them for continuing to run
their affairs on a sound basis. for
continuing to avoid subservience to
the national government, and for
refusing to surrender completely the
rights OF a sovereign state. For, be
1t known, there are very few easier
ways to force state or county or
city or other subdivision of govern
ment to become "bossed" by the ma
tlonal government than the way
That has been chosen-through the
use OF money. In fact it seems
rather a sour note in our national
policies to witness. almost complete
subjugation of states or lesser areas
by the use Of federal money when,
with another hand, the government
through the various propaganda
agencies or by legal action con-
stantly threatens to send private
persons or corporations to Jail for
seeking selfish control for private
gain. The only difference that I
can see is that one is purely for
monetary gain in the cast of pri-
vate action, while in the govern
mental situation, the benefits are
political from which rascals or
crooks eventually get their graft.
Some Washington writer's, in con-
sidering the Presidents Warm
Springs outburst, attributed his
frame Of mind to the tact that Geo.
rgia's citizens Tor a majority of
them) refused to follow Mr.. Roose-
velt's demand for the defeat of Sen.
Walter George. You remember, of
course, how Mr.. Roosevelt went into
Georgia and endorsed United
States Attorney Lawrence Camp for
the Democratic senatorial nomina-
ton. It IS OF fresh recollection, too.
how he said that Senator George
was old fashioned-out dated-al-
most one-hoss shay.

Must Be Additional
Taxation or ReDudiatiOn

Former President Hoover has had
much to say about the waste that
has been going on and has coupled
those observations with the possibl-
tiles of staggering burdens of taxa
ton. So has Sen. Harry Byrd, Dem
ocrat, of Virginia. Mr.. Hoover's
criticisms have been laughed off by
the administration here because Mr..
Hoover is Republican. Senator
Byrd'S jibes have been pooh-poohed
because he has insisted on sound
government and has been frequent
ly anti-New Deal. But Mr.. Hoover
and Senator Byrd each have stress
ed a little noted phase of potential
tiles inherent in the situation. They
have talked about moral codes.
Now, it appears, as I said above,
there must be additional taxation to
meet these loans whether from the
federal government or from private
borroWers) or there must be repudi-
alton. Reputation is simply and
plainly a refusal to pay a debt. Re-
fusal to pay an honest debt makes
deadbeats. s1t..G

going to predict that there will be
movements in many states within
10 years to have the federal gov

those states; to have congress pass
legislation that will say to the states,
in effect, "Just tear up the papers

a thought and shout from the house

state that the federal government

For Consideration"
 Notwithstanding the silence of Probate Judge Dennis J. Slavin, po- tent incumbent of both Democratic and Republican endorsement in years past, silence as to his plans for con- tinuance or cessation of his candi- dacy for reelection, a good score of applications have been made to the voters of both parties for considera- tion of candidates.
 Some see Judge Edward Mascolo as principal Democratic considera- ton, with John L. Gaffney a top hole possibility, as well. Republican Town Chairman J. Warren Upson is reported interested" in being his party's choice but his chances of election, should he get the nomina- tion in an impending primary fight would be nullified if he "won" the primary at the cost of retention of the presently new Repub- lican party rules providing abortion of racial representation on the town committee.
 AeCSlotLlo Lo os Os Attorney Maurice P. Wrenn has undertaken definite steps toward obtaining the nomination, indicating his serious intentions" by his chang ing of his name from the Demo- cratic primary list to the Republi- can on July 27, two days before the lists went to the printers. Whether considerable of political affiliation will confront as major factor in strength of candidates, in the event no acknowledged political organiza- | ton leader obtains the nomination, remains subject to doubt so far as past probate elections can be anal yzed But opponents to Attorney Wrenn in primary contest would make capital of his change of affilia- ton, it was stated reliably today.
 A dozen more candidates are bid ing their time until some of the fac tionalism in both local parties has been adjusted But Attorney Edward F. Sweeney, former candidate on the Republican ticket for the probate judgeship, has come out for the nomination in the understanding of his supporters. Attorney Harry F. Spellman, Democrat, is another who would not say "No" should it de- velop that strength warrants his entry in the many-sided race. John Howard
 Out of the maze of candidates, however, there appears one who political observers see as logical choice of a considerable number of Democratic voters, should he an- nounce that he sought the post. This is John J. Howard, clerk of the pro- bate court for the number of years that Judge Slavin has presided. We'll liked by all, MT. Howard would go into any contest for the judgeship with less partisan support than others so far mentioned for the post, it was observed. But whether he will be candidate is not known and no statement would be forthcoming anyway until such time as Judge Slavin has made announcement of his plans.
