Bruce Carton Says

cause of male unemployment to-
day is the presence of too many
women in the labor maket. Already
YOU can hear the first faint NUT
teing of stout-hearted males de
claring that women's place is in
the home. Before long more and
more people will tell us that the
unemployment problem won't be
solved until women give up their
jobs.
Yet this would be one of those
easy conclusions that don't stand
up under analysis.
Suppose we did chase those extra
2.74O.000 women out Of their jobs
and replaced them with men: we
still would have made only a small
dent in the unemployment situs
alton. The basic poblem would re-
main unsolved. The nations pay
rolls would not be higher by one
dime. The total income going to
the families of working folk woul
not be increased in the least. Y
We would be precisely where we
were before. except that the iden-
titles Of some two and three-quar-
ters millions of the workers would
be different.
Nor would we be better off if
We went lot father and replaced
more and more women workers with
men. We would not have progress

IF EHPLPOTERS STRUCK
(Heron Lake News

We often wonder what would happen
if the employers in this country Went on
a strike every time some trivial thing
came up that did not please them and
every time they didn't make as much
money out of their business as they
thought they should have. 1t sounds
foolish, but after all is it any more fool
ish than what is happening in some IL
dustry in this country every day?

LINCOLN'S CONCEPT
OF PROPERTY RIGHTS
(Orange News

(Orange NeWS)
We suppose Abraham Lincoln would
now be said to have d horse and buggy
days idea Of property. He is quoted as
follows:
Property is the fruit Of labor; proper
ty is desirable; it is a positive good il
the world. That some should be rich
shows that others may become rich and
hence is just encouragement to industry
and enterprise. Let not him who is house
less pull down the house Of another but
let him work diligently and build one
for himself thus by example assuring
that his own shall be safe from violence
when built
While quite at variance with some
present day concepts of property rights,
it still sounds like pretty good sense.
At least great country was built on
that basic philosophy, and nothing has
been offered by modern isms that prom
ises the same inspiration and stability.

A years travel through all the

him that public opinion is bitter
against traffic courts which are

Tuesday.
In the highway patrol itself y
the inspector added we have
strict orders that we lay ourselves
open to dismissal if we attempt
to fix any traffic ticket, Or show
partiality to any motoriSt.'
Inspector Livingston visited I'M
perial Valley to establish closer
contact between the highway pa
troll and the courts here, he said.
Most of the courts in the valley.
he added, cooperate fully with the
efforts Of the patrol to cut down
the automobile death rate.
we feel" Livingston explained
that personal contact is the only
way to establish full cooperation
and We are vitally interested IN
seeing that the patrol gives the
best service possible. We ask for
suggestions to improve the service
we rendor-but we must remember
that without cooperation # the
courts it is impossible to achieve
the results the patrol strives fer, "
The highway patrol, the inspector
said. does not require its officers
to make a certain number of ar
rests. Instead it requires each mem
Der to Go all in his power to cut
down the traffic death rate.
