The First Lady of the Land
thinks that "the greatest dangers to
democracy are apathy, a Lack of
personal responsibility and an ina
bility to. look courageously at the
world" This opinion appears in the
March issue of The Democrs tic Di-
gest, publication of the Democratic
National Committee, in answer to a
question asked by Mrs. Wilbur
w. Hubbard, Washington, d. c., as
to whether propaganda, exaggera-
ton, and Misrepresentation are the
greatest dangers to democracy. Mrs
Roosevelt says: Propaganda, exag-
gera ton and Misrepresentation are
all dangers but not the fundament-
al dangers. They become dangerous
because people are Indifferent and
,cowardly."

side walls and ceilings. This mod
ern structural insulation is highly
efficient in heat-stop value. In the
winter it conserves the body heat
of the cows and thus offsets the
sharp fluctuations of weather so
common in.the dairy sections of the
United States.
These wide boards, with joints
which meet on the framing MEM
bers, also eliminate cracks and
thus reduce drafts an important
factor according to Mr.. Kelley,
who says: ''There was a direct re-
lationship between excessive drafts
and pneumonia. Risk of sickness
appears to increase with the degree
of exposure to drafts"
With modern insulating materials
it is both simple and economical for
the farmer to "tighten-up" and i'm
sulate his dairy barn, and take adj
vantage of the savings which Mr..
Kelley points the way to.

PREMIUM GOODS

Premiums in merchandising are
being utilized in all directions to in

turers are engaged in promoting this
form of merchandising, which is
causing a stir in drugs and cos

even in public utilities.
Movements are afoot to check
the practice but manufactul say
they are within their rights, and

down through the middle Of the po-
litical checker-board the President
divides his forces and is driving not
only through the middle but on
both sides OF the board toward the

General Murphy calls Conference

THE FOOD STAMPS

The food stamp experiment Will
be tried in a half dozen cities. Any
relief family may take the stamps,
or refuse them. A family takes SIG
of orange-colored stamps and buys
food, and as bonus gets IS in blue
stamps, also good for food pur-
chases. Supposedly, the family re-
ceives IS in extra food which costs
them nothing, and supposedly this
increases consumption. This sup
posedly reduces the costs of Gov
eminent, and justifies giving away
this surplus food. The merchant
gets the So and it is cash at the
bank for him. He, at least, is safe
in the food stamp experiment.

half dozen cities it will be made
national. If it is a flop Secretary
Wallace may be depended upon TIC

TAX REVISION VS.. TAX REDUC
TION
j. E. Jones

Washington, March 27-About
the most ridiculous political in
formation the American people have
been asked to believe is tax reduc-
ton There isn't a member of
either branch of the United States
Congress but what knows that 1t is
impossible to make tax revision to
reduce the total amount of taxation.
All the statements that the public
is being fed on this subject
dodge the certain fact that Congress
and the Administration are trying
to decide upon a readjustment of
business taxes that will Tighten the
burden on small business without
curtailing Federal revenue. Big
business, industries and the rich
face almost certain increased tax
bills.
Any newspaper reader can figure
it out for himself that the enlarged
Government spending policy of the
President and Congress will do sew
eral things-it will increase the ma
tional debt, increase the deficit al d
and increase taxation.
Right this moment plans are Dc
ing urged to increase the legal deh'

HITTING THE AGGRESSOR

President Roosevelt and Secretary Hull have been
considering what, any, form of protest this country
should make against Russa's invasion of Finland.
The situation is ticklsh one Finland has been one
On the other hand, have been trying scrupulously
to avoid involvement in the events that have been
occurring in Europe since September l.
Undoubtedly feeling in this country has high
since the inception of the Finnish invasion. For out
right wantoness and cruelty this latest Soviet aggres
sion has no precedent. Even Hitler's seizure Of
Poland caused less shock. At least, Germany had
something resembling real quarrel with Poland
before hostities began. There was no reason what
soever for the grab at Finland.
The Communist claim that Russia was menaced
because the Firms were within shooting distance of
Of their cities marked new low in some pretty
putrid European propaganda. Following such line,
the United States, for example would be justified in
invading Canada because the Canadians might fire
Detroit.
Practically every American is aware of these
facts which, combined with the recent Communist
Nazi pact, have made Russia something less than
siderable pressure probably will have been exerted
for the passing of of protest against the
Soviet.
Among suggestions already made is that this
country Withdraw its ambassador from Moscow. That
step already has been taken in Germany-with prac-
tcally results except the arousing of bitterness
in both countries The Russian situation requires
more than such slap on the wrist The aggressOr
nations recognize protest short of punch in the
nose, fguratively speaking.
One way of accomplishing this would be to COM
pletely break off diplomatic relations. Russia pleaded
for years before this country extended her dipo-
, matte recognition To withdraw that now would
surely be telling blow. And that is what the
circumstances demand.

WHEN CONGRESS CoNvENEs

Probably the most important issue that will face
Congress when it convenes in January will be the old,
old problem of money and how 10 raise it. Will new
taxes have to be levied? Can governmental expenses
be cut? Will the present limit of As billions of dol
lars on the National debt be raised?
For several weeks now Administration leaders
have been making great fuss over cutting expenses
Budget Director Harold Smith was summoned hastily
to Warm Springs, Ca, for a conference with the
President Proposed expenditures in the budget had
been slashed hv billion dollars, it announced.
It was a good show while it lasted. Finally,
though Administration forces admitted that they had
not been able to cut expenses enough to avoid worry
about the debt limit. Certain congressman looked
hopefully at the rise in tax returns being received
by the Treasury but everyone knew that the National
income had not been raised enough to insure sufficient
taxes to balance the budget. The only answer
seemed more borrowing i. e., raising the National
debt.
The problem is acute now because 1910 is
an election year. Congressmen know that to in
to political suicide. On the other hand sentiment
has been mounting for balanced budget and is bound
to be at almost fever pitch come election time.
In the face of this economy sentiment Congress also
fears to raise the National debt limit Indeed, many
legislators already have promised to fight such
move.
While the Administration undoubtedly has slashed
planned expenses of many governmental agencies,
proposed expansion Of National defenses will more
than eat up the saving.
Meanwhile, the eyes of the voters will be focused
ON Washington. They will not have time to forget
the actions of Congress before November. Well do
the legislators know that fact Look for real scrap
on this issue when Congress convenes.

Adroit in Building Up
Sentiment With Money

Most observers here have long
known that the new crop Of spenders
that now occupies the key positions
have taught the old timers some
thing fresh In the way of gaining
congressional approval Of appropri-
atoms. They are adroit in building
up sentiment back home when II
comes to teasing people into line.
But they are adroit only when they
can use money. It has been plain
that ordinary political methods can
not be used successfully by the So
called inner circle Of the govern
ment. And for the reason that they
can not use time tried methods
not being politicians who have hus.
tied for votes-they are doomed to
failure.
The surprising thing about the
whole situation is that President
Roosevelt has been convinced 50
many times. The President is q
right clever politician. He has
Topped several times very badly,
but he will get along in most any
political company. especially II he
has the aid Of Jim Farley. The fly
in his ointment Is that he has turned
all too frequently to the inner circle
of advisors and has ignored Farley
and the others, such as Farley's for
mer trust advisor, Emil Hurja. The
inner circle does not like Mr.. Hurja.
and It Is their loss.
Now, that the furry about the
United States getting into Europe's
war has blown over. believe 1t Is
the consensus that the inner circle
group have turned again to a varia-
ton of pump printing and spending
our way out Of the depression"-tc
the cultural field.
