THE NATIONAL INCOME

The President and the Secretary
Of the Treasury are on the defensive
regarding spending and pump-prim-
ing, They say that their way is the
right way to boost the national in
come to 80 billion dollars a year and
that by reaching that goal the re-
cessions and depressions of frequent
intermissiOn would all be stopped
and, that would turn America into a
land of employed workmen, good
business and prosperity.
In 1888 the total accountable in
come received in the United States
was $4,000, 900, 900 and this increas-
ed to more than $4,000, 100000 in
1897, and dropped somewhat in
1888.
The costs of preparations for the
war next spring" costs of old age
pensions and the national health
plan, and a flock OF other costly
plans would leave the Government
budgets still far in the red. Taxa
tion would automatically increase
and become more burdensome than
it is today. The Administration
skips most OF that phase of the ques-
tion.
Senator Byrd takes the Adminis-
tration apart and shows that the
Government and the country are go
ing deeper and deeper In the hole.

BACK TO FATHERLANDl

Premier Mussolini of Italy asks
Italians who have migrated to for
eign lands to come back. There are
over 100000 OF these people, many
of them in the United States. He
thinks they can find work develop
ing ItaIy's great empire.
Will they go? Countless numbers
of them have done well in America,
creating homes and business enter
prises and jobs for themselves. They
have worked hard, and one believes
they like the freedom and opportun-
ity of America. They have sentimen-
tai ties to the land that gave them
their start. but some of us guess the
land that gave them better homes is
where most Of them will stay.

Democrat Tells Then

An open letter to the rank and file
of the Democratic Party as publish
ed in Il Delaware widely circulated
Sunday paper and written by a
prominent Democrat certainly told
the would be" leaders just where
they got off" We do not know who
the man is who wrote the article,
but we have been told that a prom
inent Wilmington Democrat. who is
known throughout the State as lib
eral ANA sound party man, was
the writer. II was certainly an in
dictment Of the Democrats in Del
aware. much better than any Re-
publican could write and carries all
the more weight because it is the
sentiment Of perhaps fifty per cent
of the Democrats. We want to quote
a few of the things he wrote:
why in the short space of two
years should magnificent victory
be succeeded by series of defeats
the like c. which are without par
allel in Delaware history? Leaving
dismayed. discredited. demoralized
and thoroughly beaten Democratic
party in Delaware"
He explains that the principal
reason is that the Democrats have
been deceived by those to whom
they had a right to look for guild
ance and advice. He continues that it
is the result of the inept attempts of
'would-be leaders to fill positions for
which they are unsuited and to place
in jobs hundreds of party workers
or sO-called workers" who in real
ity never did any work for the party
aud who were not even known as
Democrats until the party had won
an election. They backed hundred of
people for Jobs whose sole quail
fcations were that they claimed to
be Democrats. He ends by saying
that the prospect isn't a rosy one"
and predicts the loss OF the State TO
The Republicans in 1910 unless there
is Il complete turn over from pres
ent Democratic leadership away
from the "iOh hungry" and inept
leadership of the present.

ONE WAR ENDED!

The tragic war in Spain which
has lasted not far from three years.
seems to be drawing toward its
close. The Fascist government Of
General Franco seems about to rule
that famous and historic land. Does
that mean that the Fascist powers
are to become the dominating forces
of Europe?
Many Americans regret that the
democratic parties were not the Vic
tors in Spain. Democratic govern
ments do not run themselves as
many folks used to dream. They call
for a people highly trained in good
schools, able to mark ballots with
judgment. and control themselves
when incited to violence Even if the
democratic powers had won in Spain
they might soon have found them
selves in the turmoil that has wreck
ed many republics.

STUDENTS SEARCH FOR \ JOE

In the good old days" the aver
age school and college student was
supposed to graduate. and then go
out looking for a job. Many of them
cid very little looking before they
got their diplomas. In a time when
most well trained young people were
pretty sure to find work, the neces-
sity of an early search did not ap-
pear so urgent.
Jack Durant, writing in the Bos-
ton Herald. makes the point that the
college student should begin look
ing for a job in his Junior year. He
should have clear idea what he
wants to do, and acquire some spe-
cial fitness for that line so he will
seem attractive to employers. In a
country where l0.000.000 are out of
work, that seems good advice.
No doubt the high school student
should also think well in advance of
his graduation about what he wants
TO do. If there are any who are to
graduate next June, and who as YET
don't know what they want to do,
they would better make up their
minds pretty quick, and try to find
out what they have to do to make
their services salable. Those who
have taken some vocational course
stand better chance. One who re-
lies on his general intelligence and
ability to do things, but has no spe
cial preparation for any occupation
and does not care particularly what |
line he enters, may have difficulty.
One of the best things a student |
can do, is to work vacations in some |
occupation in which he is interest
ed. II he can get a vacation job
clerking in some store, for instance.
and obtain a recommendation from
his employer, he has taken a long
step toward regular employment.
His employer will some day need
more help. If IT came to a choice
between someone who had never
done that work, and someone who
had had such job. the advantage
would usually be strongly in favor
of the one who had had that exper-
iehee.

THE $sO.OOO.OOO.OOO HOPE

The main plan or theory ON which
the government is working to re-
store full prosperity, seems to be
something like this: That if the
country can again acquire a nation
al income of 10000 ,OOO, 900 or more
q year, it will have no great diff
Guilty in handling its finances, and
meeting the needs of the people for
social welfare. Thus the whole plan
seems to rest on the idea Of the
$50. 900, 900 income.
The income of the people for 1885
was about 100000, 900. 900. Lifting it
10 $8O,00O, 100000 is about like the
man who tries to get his wages
lacked up One-third
The United States has never hal
an $S6,OOO.0OO,O0 income except in
one year, 1929. That was the time
of the great boom. when people were
spending beyond their means, many
business companies were expanding
beyond their needs. and people were
spending money freely. The pros
perlty seemed in part unreal
If we are to produce the $S0,000,-
O00,000 now. II apparently can come
only in two ways.
by such a period of specula-
tion and extravagant spending as
we had in 1929. That resulted in
grand crash. and it is not desirable
TO reproduce that experience.
2-lt is possible that the $SO0OO,-
100000 income could be produced if
about all the industries could work
regularly without slow periods and
shut downs. Our national income is
all the time limited by this irregu-
larity of industry. How to produce
that regular operation, when people
hug so irregularly. is Il big prOblem5
The Industries cant run without or
ders, unless the government guar
antees their profits.
Perhaps some genius will tell us
how these things can be done. If
the $SO,OOO, 100000 income can be
produced and made a regular thing,
it would mean wonderful social pro-
gress. 1t can't probably be accom-
plished unless business feels fairly
sure of earning a profit.

BETTER SERVICE ON cAPiTOL
HILL

Everybody seemed good-natured
when Congress convened right after
the holidays. STUFF a man with tur-
key and he's sure to be amiable. In
former times the legislators didn't
get together until March and by
that time they were grumpy and
grouchy.
During the last week or two the
fighting has become more noticeable
on Capitol Hill.
The dlssensiOns in the Democratic
party and the independent positions
taken by members of all parties and
factions indicate that the people
between the devil and the deep blue
sea" are apt to be real beneficiaries
of the November elections, and ejec-
tions.
You most likely remember all
about the returns that stiffened the
courage of legislators representing
all parties, and put them wise to the
fact that the voters expect better
service from their servants on Capi-
tol Hill.

FiMOrS PRINTER REMEMBERED

The city of Philadelphia has just
celebrated the birthday anniversary
of Benjamin Franklin, famous citi-
zen of that great community, and
distinguished as a scientist and phil
Osopher 1t is worth considering that
Ben Franklin got his start in the oc-
cupation of a printer
The printing trade has started
very many men up the ladder OF
success. II brings men and women
into close touch with human
thought, and printers are apt to be
wise and philosophical. Few of them
attain high fame, but countless
numbers of them have had influence
in their home towns and states by
reason of their sagacious thoughts,
many of which sound like the phil
osophy of Franklin's which has so
deeply impressed the world.

SAFER IN PLANT
THAN AT HOME

Widespread admiration still greets
Douglas Corrigan for his daredevil
wrong way-flight across the At
lantic in a "crate" that no one but
ne would have believed capable of
defying, the elements, and for his
whimsical explanation that good
naturedly defied everything but his
engaging composure. But suppOsing
he "had not gotten away with it,"
Condemnation for foOlhardiness
would have been substituted for the
plaudits that acclaimed his plucky-
and very lucky-achievement.
But there is nothing fortuitous
about the reports recently made of
various safety campaigns, by both
foundations and industries. SpOn-
sors of these movements also have
landed" safely-nOt as the result OF
singlehanded taking of chances but
as the result of cooperative effort in
the opposite direction. Toward eau
ton, care and safety.
The. recent report of the Automo-
tive Safety Foundation showed that
highway fatalities were reduced by
21 per cent in 1898. A truly amazing
accomplishment that, the saving Of
5000 precious lives. And the fOun-
datiOn reports that the automotive
industry again has underwritten the
highway safety program on a nation
wide basis for 1889, for the fourth
year.
Anther report just released indi-
Gates further how the automobile in
dustry is meeting its responsible
ties. This report shows that for ev-
cry 100000 man-hours of work in !
the Sc plants of General Motors Cor
poration in the United States and !
Canada last year, there were only |
I.91 lost-time accidents, compared to |
SIS lost-time accidents in 1887 and |
5 10 in 1886. The General Motors
safety record of 4.91 last year COIN
Dares with a figure of 1885 as lost
nne accidents for all industry.
The severity of accidents, repre-
ienting time off due to mishaps In
he plants. likewise was reduced
turing 1888 to a point where there
we're only O595 days lost to General !

STRICTLY POLITICAL

i W. W. Mack, before he was shOrn
of his powers, the costs of operating
the department has not increased
except to a slight extent while in
the other counties where the Demo-
cratic appointed engineers are in
charge, costs have jumped by
bounds. Isn't that the answer? Isn't
that plain facts that prove the Re-
publicans must change the set up of
the State Highway Commission af-
tel the voters OF the State COM
manded them TO do so by such a
large majority at the last election?
And every time a special election is
held the people again remind the
Legislature of what they were sent
there to do. There can be no turn
ing back or no explanation the Leg
islature can give if they do not con-
tinue right along with the present
plans and put the operation of our
highways back In the hands that Op-
Grated so efficiently and ecOnOmi-
cally under Republican rule. Not
that the politics OF the engineers
make any difference but it Just hap
pens that the Republicans have al
ways stood for men in charge of
operations who knew their jobs and
how to do them. The change in the
commission of the State Highway
Department must continue until il
is established.

Inyestieate Schools

Yes, there Is another job on the
shoulders OF the Republican Legis-
lature and that is the investigation
OF the State School Board. Ii seems
that the administration of the
school system is far out of proper
tiOn to what many believe a system
such as ours should cost. Many ac-
cuse the school system of being top
heavy and overhung with many ex-
pensive idlers and theorists. One
man is said to be paid $4,000 a year
to keep a scientific chart of the at
tendance record of students and all
such "lally-dally" ideas while the
heads of the school system fatten on
salaries and junket trips at the
States expense. With so many such
charges being made and with the
teacher not receiving their salary
increment and pension rights, there
should be proper investigation and
the school heads should be the first
To welcome il. That is. if they really
are doing a good job and have moth
ing to fear. Look over the various
departments Of the State-the School
System-the Board of Health-the
Board of Agriculture. If things are
being operated properly, there is no
need of fear ON the part of the heads
of these departments-bu if it is
true that most of the heads are i'm
ported from other States. They are
extravagant in their spendings and
Il few receive high salaries at the
expense of others them be in1

Motor Vehicle Control

The proposition to set up a sepa-

by many citizens. Certainly the de-

which collects the money for it.

for much better efficiency. No more
