NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
MAKING AND KILLING JOBS

When it comes seriously to consider the proposal
% authorize expansion of the national expendl-
ture of the coming fiscal year about three billions
IS dollars beyond what has heretofore been plan
ned, congress must ask itself whether that pro
cram or any part of it, would actually increase
total production of goods and services Unless it
docs il cannot add to the true national income, nor
can it augment the total purchasing power.'
In his recent radio address the president said
that past government spending had acted as a
trigger to set off private activity and added, THAT
is why the total addition to our national produc-
ton and national income has been so much greater
than the contribution of the government itself.
. How does the government get the wherewlthal
to make a, "contYibution" to the national produc-
ton whchiis the substance of the national income
How else than by taking it out of the national IN
come itself? The simple fact is that the govern
ment cannot make contribution to either; IL can
only alter the distribution of both. The president
as much by saying, "And the govern
ment contribution of money which we now make
to business ultimately comes out of the labor OF all
the people" r~ o. .,,... .sa ,- &C.," -
No church member, no matter how depout, ever
takes coin out of the collection plate in order to
make contribution to the church But that is just
the sort of thing the government does when 1t es-
says to spend tax collections or borrowed money
in order to increase the national income. Altering
the distribution of the national income may under
given circumstances be just and wise, but altering
its ALLEGATION does not increase it. -. ..',
On the contrary alterations in the distribution
of the national income by the government, follow
ing methods of doing so which millions of the citi-
zens regard as reckless, improvident and even cor
ruptng to the peoples moral fibre, causes them
through fear of the ultimate consequences to with
hold the funds they have from venuresome pro-
duction-and nearly all production is more or less
venturesome under the best of surrounding condl-
tons. That in short. is why we have now slumped
back into the depths of unemployment despite con-
tnuing government expenditures of more than sew
en- billions a year The government can in all in
noeence kill as much employment as it makes

Duoinsky, who .persistently has

IT'S possible to shed some light
l. on the reason why, after the
Senate had moved down the YES
tise left by the House of the New
Deals undistributed profits tax
and the tax bill had gone to con-
ference, Mr.. Roosevelt came to bat
with a vigorous message urging
retention of the House plans 4
per cent tax penalty on corpora
tons which pay no dividends.
All through last fall and the
winter the President raised not a
finger to defend the unpopular
tax. Privately he admitted he
would rather have the House
bills modification than outright
repeal.
But the Senate Finance Com
mittee under Chairman Pat Har-
rison wiped out. the surplus tax.
Roosevelt was worrying about the
reorganization bill in the House
and recalled that Harrison had
him on that issue. So
again the presidential finger re-
manned unified and the Harrison
bill passed the Senate by mere
voice vote which apparently killed
the House modification.
At that point Roosevelt was IN
formed that House conferees
were not going to fight further
for what they considered an adj
ministration principle unless they
received some public support; that
he had better speak out in meeting
or forget about it. So F. D. R.
finally spoke-probably too late

ABOUT BARKS AND BITES
fBv BRUCE CATToN)

Mark Twain somewhere tells an untor-
.cettshle story about the rough, tough
Mississippi river ruffian who was coming
downstream on lumber barge and telling
all his companions what vicious and fear
less fighter he was.
He was, he said, child of calamity and
an author of misfortunes. No one could
stand before him; to fight with him was to
court suicide to. cross his path was to risk
violent ACKNOWLEDGMENT. And so he went
ON and on, impressing his companions
nightly and gaining great name as a
terrible fighting man.
Until at last quiet little man who had
been sitting in a corner got up, walked
over to the tough guy, and proceeded to
knock the everlasting daylight out of him
=. after which the men on the raft were
disinclined to accept anyone's reputation
at face value.
There is something dinly reminiscent OF
this fable in the news dispatches from
China these days For it begins to look
very much as if the fearsome, invulnerable
military bully from Japan has taken on
slightly more of a fight than he can digest
properly.
: A few months ago the Japanese military
machine looked like something to shudder
at, 1t had record of unbroken successes.
Ithad the finest discipline, the finest equip
ufent, the finest strategic direction, the
finest traditions of military valor. 1t was
gong to breeze through China like no.
bodys business, and anyone who tangled
with 1t was due to spend years in the sack
cloth and ashes of repentance.
aBut something strange has been happen
ing of late. In southern Shantung it be-
eanes apparent that this mighty machine
has met with one of the greatest reverses
nf Japanese history. A dispatch to the
New York Times says that barely 10000
men survive out of an army of 60, O06' The
tfiaops whose proud boast it was that they
never retreated have had to retreat on a
2fhour-a-day basis to escape humiliation.
sPhis, of course, doesn't mean that Japan
hasEl0St the war. Reinforc enients are pour
ing in, and the reverse may soon be made
good. But the significant thing is that this
mighty, invulnerable Japanese military ma
chine. has developed some .glaring flaws,
The Japanese war god is only mortal, after
al. He can be licked, if someone puts up
fight. d.
All of which is worth keeping in mind:
Fer the world these days seems to lie at
the mercy of these 'ipvincible" war ma
chimes The dictators and the war-mongers
haze been, staggering up and down for
years, clustering about the dreadful things
that will happen if they don't get their
own way The rest of the world has
listened, shivered, and kept quiet. ,'
But behold! they aren't so tough, after
all Perhaps the whole lot of them can be
taken, any time someone finds the nerve to
try it. - 1''

HAD M DOWN: Doc Moss was
BY NOAH HoLLOWELL

HAD M DOWN: Doc Moss was
down on the machine age" be-
cause he was forced to leave his
orchard duties and rush to town
to have a spray pump repaired,
which, in the language Of the
street, chad him down. because it
wouldn't perform. In the days of
simpler spraying with a barrel
hand-pump, it was possible to cut
his shoe tongue and make wash
er in great emergency, but not so
with the power spray.
He moaned that time was lost
when every minute counted big in
the orchard, where things were
not attuned to the zodiac but to
the processes of nature in worm
making as we'll as in apple-mak-
ing. He murmured that the con-
sumer or peddler who bought APP
pies at 40 cents per bushel didn't
know the cost Of cultivating them.
He tried to find consolation in the
fact that he lowed all kinds of
machinery went down at times.
TIMELINESS OF SPRAYING:
Mr.. Moss knew the Importance of
the time clement in applying the
petal fall or calyX spray. AS the
petals of the blossoms drop the
calyx is left wide open, but for a
short period. An apple is devel-
oping rapidly into something more
than stem. The coddling moth
is coddled thereabout by nature
while she lays eggs in the calyx,
which soon closes in on the eggs.
The orchardist endeavors to APP
ply the spray at the time it will
also be enclosed with the eggs as
the calyx closes. The eggs incu-
bate and make worms. When they
begin to gnaw on the tiny apple
they become poisoned, otherwise
you later bite down into a red,
juicy apple and occasionally BIZ
sect big, fat, yellow worm. And
that's the history of the plump,
fat, juicy worm that you so often
see. Mr.. Moss just didn't like the
idea of leaving its mother busy
laying eggs while he had to rush
to town and lose his patience on
the machine age"

ton.
Insofar as she could, she favored
the man who had brought her.
T. j. Sara Sue never was one to
be a butterfly about men, accepting
all favors everywhere. She felt
that as T. j. had honored her by
asking her for this date, he should
have whatever major courtesies
she had to bestow. Men appreciate
this consideration in women more,
perhaps, than any other one thing,
even though they are happy to
have their girls sought after by
other men.
"You are just naturally a gen.
tleman, Sara Sue!" T. j. declared,
enthusiastically, when she had
helped him dodge another man
trying to cut in. "A scholar and
gentleman.

She squeezed his arm.
"I suppose so. Anyhow, you're
swell, kid. Say, I-Oh, Lord!"
They danced on together,
smoothly, happily. He had been
very good to her. She had been
very good to him. That intangible
something of mutual respect ex-
listed between them. T. ]. felt it
tonight more than ever, and it
together with the general atmos-
phere of color and happiness and
song-caused him to reach a de-
cision.
Acting on delightful impulse,
T. j. led Sara Sue across the hall
into an alcove, around behind some
massed vines and flowers and other
decorations where there was a
bench in a private spot.
"Sit down." he ordered, gently.
"I've got something 1 must say"
what is it, T. j.? Plotting

love you with every ounce of my
being. II honestly don't know
how to say it, how to say how
deeply I feel. Just-just that love
you, is ALL And want you to
marry me. Will you, Sara Sue?"
He couldn't have said it more
impressively if he had rehearsed
a thousand times. He spoke ever
so tenderly. His eyes had a misty
yearning. He held one of her hands
in his own, sitting on the bench
near her, looking intently into her
face.
It was so perfect, so utterly fine,
that it verify startled her. T. ].

to swallow hard. Emotion had
seized her. "Oh, T. j., you" She
looked pleadingly at him.
