Long, who served as lieuten ant
governor under Leche, took d yer
the chief executives post in an
atmosphere of confusion and Iun-
certainty which shook the old
strongly entrenched politi { a
dynasty of his brother, HueJ P.
Long, to its very foundations.
The atmosphere was by no
means cleared with the poll tical
change-over which occurred on
ly a few minutes after formal
charges of embezzlement of $hOO,-
600 of funds of Louisiana State
University were filed in district
court here against President
James Monroes Smith, who Jani-

ROOSEVELT AND
FIAT MONEY

Editor, The Times: Disillusion-
ment nullifies our conclusion all
along that FDR was only kid
ding the ill-fed one third. Now,
we have changed our mind since
Mr.. Roosevelt is so signally hon
oring this favored minority.
The fashionably partially
clothed one-third are to have
ornamental stamps for a money
substitute. Synthetic, catalytic
financing. The orange colored
stamps will compensate for the
twenty-dollar gold pieces the
New Deal 80 magnanimously ex-
propriated. The ill-housed one
third had acquired the habit of
laying up riches on earth where
moth and rust" do corrupt.
So, the administration to insure
their salvation took their hoard
ed money and placed it in
proximity to good old Kentucky
whiskey to keep off the moth
and rust.
The blue (true) stamps are
token of unmistaken Roosevelt
loyalty and fidelity. While Mr..
Roosevelt has been telling us re-
peatedly he is for the greatest
good to the greatest number" he
was at the same time laughing
up his sleeve. We must admire
him. he is an accomplished
joker.
And, now, we approach the
kernel in the shell. When the
sighted two-thirds fully realize
the disfavor to them there will
be a bowling reaction. and We
predict FDR will have to give all
of us this 'untainted" fiat stamp
substitute money, or his third
tyou see the reckoning is in
terms Of third term will 60

No, sir, you cannot make US
believe our humanitarian presi-
dent wants a third term. Be-
cause. this is a democracy and
one-third cannot rule.

economy. The old dealers never
had any awareness of the need.
They were and are economically
asleep.
The new dealers haven't any
orderly procedure either; with
them 1t is hit-and-miss too. But
they have awareness of need
coupled with good Intentions,
and you can't help but like 'em.
They are fine bunch in the alb
stract. but in a practical sense,
not so good.
OF course we realize the oppo-
sition they have had from the
old dealers and make due allow
ance. And we also realize that
no permanent social economic
adjustment is possible within the
framework of the profit motive
system, and regret so much
valuable time wasted on the i'm
possible.
The profit system is at an
end, and it seems strange that
so comparatively few know any
thing about it notwithstanding
that everything points that way
TO the end that many think that
the end of the world is just
around the corner.
Indeed, it is the end of either
the present civilization or the
profit system, or both; we don't
know. But we do know that
everything comes into physical
manifestation from an innate
natural trend and passes out by
the same token. 1t is born, we
say; it has youth. maturity, old
age and death, modes of social
economy included.
Birth and death are the two
poles of manifest things, derived
from motion and matter. So the
sensible thing to do now is to let
the old dealers dream about
"once upon a time" And for
those who have completed their
period of metamorphosis to con-
form TO the new day and the new
plan.

WANTS VOTE BY RANK
AND FILE ON AGREEMENT

Editor, The Times: Since the
closing of the ST. Paul mill many
have voiced their opinion as to
why the mill is not operating
while negotiations are going on
and why an agreement could not
be reached just as quickly as il
now seems 10 be coming along.
Be that as II may, there is one
point that has been prodding
many minds since the company
submitted an agreement TO the
union and no doubt intended for
the rank and file as well. The
point Is. why wasn't the rank
and file given an opportunity to
vote by secret ballot as to wheth-
er 10 accept the agreement
Personally ! am willing TO stick

BRIGHT MOMENTS
IN GREAT LIVES

During the Civil war, actioh
along the Rappahannock river
was furious. The Union forces
crossed the river many times,
only to be driven back. Finally,
U. S. Grant was placed in COM
mand, and again the Union
forces crossed into Confederate
territory. After the first brisk
engagement, the Confederate
General Mosby questioned some
Union soldiers who had been
taken prisoners.
What has become Of your
pontoon train" he asked.
I'VE amt got any," the pris-
oner replied.
How do you expect to get
over the river when you 60
back?" General Mosby asked.
oh" said the Yankee, I'VE
amt goin' back. Grant says that
all the men he sends back can
cross on a log.
