Recovery and Peace
Urged by Bridges as
6. @. P. Goals
Nation Looks to Party
For Program in 40,
Senator Asserts

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. May Economic
recovery and the maintenance of
peace, Senator Bridges. Republican,
Of New Hampshire, said last night,
should be the major goals of the
Republican party.
The people of the Nation, he
gram that would achieve those OBJ
jectives.
Senator Bridges spoke at a ban
quet sponsored by the 1910 Club,
Inc, and held on the site of the Old
Wigwam Convention Hall where
Republicans nominated Abraham
Lincoln for the presidency May 1S,
1860.
The Senator said the meeting was
significant in that it called the
Nations attention to the "impor-
tance of the convention and election
OF the coming year.
Both he and Chairman John
Hamilton of the Republican National
Committee quoted from the party's
platform. of 1860, suggesting that
the plank condemning reckless ex-
travagance' and the systematic
plunder of the public treasury" was
applicable today.
Economy, thrift and the return
to sanity on the part of our Federal
Government is today the most nee
essary objective" Senator Bridges
said. 1T is an objective which the
Republican party must stand on
four square, because we can never
have recovery without economy"
Chairman Hamilton declared the
people have lost faith in the New
Deal, just as they lost faith in the
ruling party in the late l85O's. They
are turning to the Republican party
to the party of Honest Abe-for
courageous, intelligent action, and
honesty and answering devotion to
traditional American principles"

LET EN- GO HUNGRY
WHEN THEY 60 BROKE

No, we're not referring to those
unfortunate persons who are jobless and
penniless.
We are referring to people who are
emphatically neither iobleSs nor penni-
less. They are the state officials who
go on, year after year, exceeding the
budgets set up for them by the governor
and the legislature.
Imperial county's state senator, Ed
ward H. Law, commented bitterly this
week that he will never again vote for
a large appropriation until he knows
exactly where the money is going. Why?
Because, for one thing, eXtravagant state
departments which had exceeded their
own budgets last year used S750,0OO
out of a five million dollar flood con-
troll fund-and the money wasn't used
for anything even approXimating flood
control.
The department heads, taxed with
their extravaganza, explained weakly
that: well. the flood appropriation
wasn't earmarked.o
Neither is the money a housewife
spends for meat each week ''earmarked,"
but she knows that unless she does use
that money to buy meat, and not hats,
she's going hungry. The money buSl-
ness man uses to pay salaries is not,
in some instances earmarked before the
salary checks are written-but if the
business man uses the money to gamble
on the stock market with, he will be in
grave trouble with his creditors, his en-
ployes and the law before he goes far.
Why should state officials be the only
ones among US who can take money ln-
tended for one purpose, spend it for
another, and believe blindly and inno-
Gently CD that more money will be
forthcoming from some mysterious
source to make up for their eXtrava-
gance? Heaven knows their budgets are
set high enough in the first place TO take
care of any possible contingency the
average man can imagine. Politicians,
evidently, are far from average.
So, we say, let them go hungry when
they go broke. If a governmental de-
partment cannot live within its budget
let it find out the difficulties of living
above its income, as the average man
knows those difficulties. Once give the
department heads to understand that
there will be no more money fOrthcom-
ing when they exceed their allotments,
and the bets are a hundred to one they
will make the original appropriation pay
all their bills.
AS taxpayers, against whom deficiency
financing in government is charged in
the end; we are becoming thoroughly
tired of the prevailing political idea that
the public pocketbook is forever open
to the tax collectors 1t is time the spend
ers realized it isn't their own money, but
ours, they are spending-and it is time
we the people, demanded a thorough
accounting of the way our money Is
spent

CHANGE THE WAGNER
ACT NOW!
(Wall Street Journal)

wall Street JournaD
While some of the proposed amend
ments to the National Labor Relations
Act advanced by Senator Walsh are
along right lines, the approach, which
is fundamentally that of the American
Federation of Labor. is a wrong one.
The position of this newspaper in
regard to amendment of the Wagner
Act has been stated often. Passed origin
ally as remedial" legislation, the mea-
sure soon revealed itself as containing
very definite powers of disturbance, de-
irving principally from the fact that the
law was, and is, one-sided
1t should now be the function of the
Congress to correct that One-sidedness,
rather than pass amending legislation in
the interest of one labor faction or, in
deed, of any group This it can do, as
Senator Walsh suggests, by curtailing
the power of the board to inValidate con-
tracts entered into between employees and
bona fide unions. If this is done, we do
not believe that further limitation of
the power of the board to determine APP
prOpriate bargaining units is necessary
or desirable. We do believe, however that
other corrective amendment are neces-
sary. First on the list of these is the need
for giving the employer equal status with
employees in the matter of demanding an
election where the choice of bargaining
agent is in dispute. Surely this step
needs no defense or special plea; its
need is evident.
Equally important is some amendment
which would define the obligations as
we'll as the rights of labor This should
include specific injunction on the board
to withdraw the benefits of the act from
an employe who has committed an illegal
act in the course Of his activities in behalf
of any phase of labor organization
These amendments should be made
speedily. There is no valid reason why
they should be opposed by anyone who
is not a fanatical extremist

ONE SIMPLE QUESTION
IN FOREIGN POLICY

Why should these United States at
tempt to guarantee victory, either moral
or martial, for France, Great Britain,
ct. al, against Italy, Germany and allies
If anyone is able to answer that ques-
tion with unanswerable logic we stand
ready to concede that the administra-
tion's foreign policy is a wise one. So far,
however, we have not heard the answer,
either from politicians, diplomats or
anyone else.
And, failing to obtain an unanswerable
argument in favor of Uncle Sans med
ding in Europe we remain convinced
that our national policy should provide
defense of our own nation, not help for
others.

Bruce Cation
In Washington

WASHINGTON-Being regu-
lar army man. Col. F.. c. Harring-
ton believes in standing by his
GUNS.
Colonel Harrington, who took
Harry Hopkins place as head OF
the WPA when Hopkins went to
the Commerce Department, stepped
into one of the hottest spots in
Washington
He hardly got his hat hung up
before an economy-minded Con-
gress began putting the whole
WPA system and philosophy under
the microscope 1t criticized WPA
as an instrument of politics and
pared the WPA budget as exces-
sive. Colonel Harrington appeared
before committees and subcommit-
tees for questioning.
And when the smoke had cleared
away there was the colonel stand
ing just about where Harry Hop
kins had been standing before him.
Colonel Harrington believes that
d work relief program is going to
be a permanent part of the fed
eral governments job. He can
see how the WPA rolls can be re-
duced before April; indeed, he
thinks that they might well go up
a little. And he doesn't think
there has been nearly as much
political misuse of WPA as some
people have alleged.
DO you feel" I asked him, that
it should be the aim of the country
to wind up WPA as soon as possible
and care for those who need care
by means of direct relief, or does
the WPA idea appeal to you as
preferable?"
Direct relief, in the long run,
is unsatisfactory to the majority
of Americans he replied. Il am
confident that we will never go
back to the dole. I cannot see at
this time how WPA or some form
of federal work relief can be dis
continued. 1t should. as in the
past, adjust itself as closely as pos
sible to the trend of relief needs
among the unemployed. With a
net increase of approximately 500
900 employable persons each year
| believe such a program has a
definite part in our national econo-
my
How about the money WPA
spends? Is it going right to those
who need it, or is too much of it
eaten up in overhead or other
wise diverted? The colonel had his
answer ready:
OF all WPA project workers.
between 81 and SO per cent are
certified from relief rolls as ac-
tually in need. The others are
persons necessary to the operation
of projects which can usefully en-
ploy certified relief workers. Our
administrative expense is less than

Also, the colonel doesn't think

tho twentv-six allied industries.
January retail trade was, oil
course. off from the Christmas
peak; but it held close to the rela-
lively high volume OF January, 1885.
Much OF my hope for good year
is pinned on retail sales Natufally'
we cannot have higher factory ac-
tivity. more jobs, and bigger pay
rolls if goods do not move prlSkiy
across store counters. In TINS con-
uection, | want to warn merchailtS
and other business men:
You cannot expect to get your
full share of the 1899 pickup IL
you do not push your advertising.
The time to spend money on your
promotions is NOW rather thah
when business is booming!
Railroads Out of Dog House"
The railroad situation is better.
Expenses have been slaShed draStl-
cally. There has been an encourag-
ing pickup in freight carloadines
since last summer. The combina-
ton of these two factors has allow
ed many roads to pay all bills IN
Guiding interest on their bonds and
still have a little money left over.
Consequently, such carriers are be-
ginning TO buy new locomotives,
freight cars, rails, and the like. A
real burst of railroad buying might
boost business into a prosperous
period quicker than any other de
velopment.
No Change in Outlook
Summarizing: The recent deVel-
opments ON the domestic business
front have been satisfactory. The
first month of 1889 was the best
January in nine years, excepting
only 1887. Not one OF the favorable
factors led me to predict good
year has changed. The European
situation is no worse than month
ago; it simply is coming to a head.
If business men keep their prespee-
tive and do not suddenly get new
fear" complex, see no reason
why business should not continue
To improve.

Such an appointment by the governor
