government competition. The gov
ernment would also have to have
the right to tell every man what
job he must take and at what
wages.
So, also, if the government is to
give everybody free medical care,
it has to have the power to tell
each family what care it shall get,
where it shall get it, and from
what doctors.
So, also, in the Brannan Plan.
After the first year when the
government has to buy a sur
plus, it would have to impose
production controls and tell the
farmer what crops he can plant
and what animals he can feed.
THE proposal to guarantee a job
- to every mar was contained in
the Full Employment bill of 1916,
when first introduced, but was re-
jected by the 10th Congress. We
found that it came directly from
the Soviet constitution, which con-
tains that guarantee bat rather
proudly boasts that the guarantee
is possible because of the social
ist organization of our economy"
Of course, the Russian government
can guarantee job to every man,
because it can tell him where to
work and put him to work at any
wages it wants to pay, If it can't
find a job for him in Russia, it can
find one for him in the mines of
Siberia. Even in England, I am
told, the law now permits the gov
ernment to tell every man where
he shall work and to put him in
Jail if he won't comply.
The politics of the Brannan Plan
is based on the theory that the
people can be fooled into believing
that the government owes them a
living and can guarantee Utopia
to all. My recent trip through Ohio
convinces me that neither the
farmer nor the workman believes
il: any such promises or guaran-
tees.
Apparently, only the top OFF,
cials of the CIO Political Action
Committee, and a small group of
intellectual planners, really be-
lieve in a philosophy which must
inevitably lead to complete gov
ernment direction of the lives Of
the American people, and to the
destruction of their liberty.

The following question asked DO you think that

The trouble with women today
is that they use face powder in
stead of baking powder as the
foundation for a home.
The only way you can get some
people to 60 is to 60 with them
You may not be right if you
60 ahead but you're bound to be
wrong if you stand still.
The book of Job never would
have been written had he taken
advice.
Maybe there would be less ju-
venile delinquency if parents
would lead the way instead of
pointing.
Character is what you are
reputation is what you get
caught at.

THE POETS CORNER
COLD NIGHT

All day the wind had howed like angry beast
And rudely pushed the drift against the SILL
Not once the icy sound of blowing ceased
That flesh and blood might have relief from chill.
Then, suddenly, the cold and wind divorced,
For cold had mated with the subtle dark.
Despite his jealous anger, wind was forced
To hush while night became abstruce and stark.
And now, the scintillating spot is blessed
Where kettle sings and embers gently glow;
And happy is the by love possessed
When harvest fields are heaped with snow.
This is the hour when nature holds mirth
But lays a shroud across the frozen earth

COLUMBUS-More band news:
The Agonis Club will honor Ohio
States marching band Thursday
night (Jan. 12) at the Neil House.
The band had a great train ride
to the Rose Bowl and back. They
like it so we'll they presented an
initiated cigaret lighter to Lew
Jenkins, the Pennsylvania's spec
ial passenger agent, who accom-
panied the horn tooters to handle
travel arrangements.
Now arrangements musical
Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong and
his hot jazz men manufactured
some spontaneous of-the-moment
arrangements when they blew
the rafters off Memorial Hall
Friday night. This concert really
rocked Columbus. The Arm
strong combo is just back from
Europe where the hot licks of
these unfettered musicians were
cheered enthusiastically. Same
thing happened here.
This seems to be jazz month
in Columbus. Jimmy Mcfarland,
the Chicago cornet king, is back
at the Grandview Inn. The Desh-
ler's parade of bands is featuring
Dixieland music. Ray Anthony
was fresh here from New Or
leans Hotel Roosevelt. And now
Jimmy Dorsey, the genial old sax
man, is filling the Deshler's
Ionian Room with what he calls
Dorseyland Jazz.
An extra word must be thrown
in here for Jimmy Dorsey. He's a
friendly band leader who sits
around among the guests. The
whole band warns to the crowd,
and by quitting time they really
have the old Broad and High cell
lar full of laughter and hilarity.
Dorsey tosses formality out of
the window (an upstairs one)
and conducts more fun" club.
And his fans have more fun than
people.
We are going to get balance
for all this Dixieland. Horace
Heidi. old Mr.. Saccharine hisself,
will invade Columbus Jan. %. He
will play a March of Dimes con-
cert on Saturday night in the
Memorial hall, then next day
will present his radio broadcast
in the fairgrounds coliseum.
Some people blame Heidi for
the authorship of Mule Train. "
Of course, those people think his
name is spelled Horse Hite.
Heidi has new performers on
his program including a new
group called the Heidi Steppers.
This seems to be a fad among
bands - like S a m my Hayes
Kaye-dettes. Then Blue Barron
has the Blue Notes. Vaughn Mon
roe's theme song is Racing with
the Moon" and his girl singers
are the Moon Maids.

approximately 1880 900 for the eva region.
Resources
No other equal area in the United States has a
greater diversity, aggregate quantity, of unde-
veloped natural resources Here is than 40
per cent potential of II million kowatts) of the ma

double the total national generation today. Here is

only per cent of fertilizer needs and part of this

The Purpose of eva
eva advocates know that this tremendously rich
area is not going to be fully developed night,
or within few years. They know that this cannot
be efficiently properly done by pece-a-meal pro-
cess, or by multiplicity of competing governmental
agencies legally free from coordination of effort
The purpose then of the eva bills is complete
long time multipurpose development, without waste
and in the interest of all the people of the region
This can be accomplished by sufficient centraliza-
ton of authority to general plan for final
results and balanced and efficient method of oper
alton while the work is being done.
There is good in having one set of engineers
view the regions water supply from the standpoint
of use for flood control and navigation and another
set seeing it from the standpoint of for irrigation
and power. The need is maximum benefit from all
these purposes combined into dovetailed plan.
Water is but of the great basic resources, land
is another Flood control and irrigation will both
be nufied if soil erosion is going to fill reservoirs
