Now and then. the more
idiotic criticisms Of our polit-
ical life remind US Of q piece
Of writing by Charles Dickens.
In his american Notes."
written in 1e43. one may read:
"It Is an essential part Of
every national character to
pique itself nightly upon its
faults, and to deduce tokens
of its virtue or its wisdom
from their very exaggeration.
One great blemish In the
popular mind Of America,
and the prolific parent of an
innumerable brood Of evil, is
universal distrust. Yet, the
American citizen plumes him
self upon this spirit. even
when he is sufficiently dis
passionate to perceive the
ruin it works. Rnd viii often
adduce it, in spite Of his own
reason, as an instance Of the
great sagacity and acuteness
of the people. and their su-
perior shrewdness and inde-
pendence.
You carry says the
stranger. this jealousy and
distrust into every transac-
ton Of public life. BY repell-
ing worthy men from your
legislative assemblies, 1t has
bred up q class Of candidates

their every act. disgrace your
institutions and your peoples

so tickle. and 90 given to

has passed into o proverb.

idol firmly than you are sure

ant. you distrust him. mere

Well he promised to do that. and thanked him.
Just before / came here, a telephone call came to me
from a nelghbor in the vicinity saying that she had been

sent out before even getting lunch. Now it is possible
she had, but at the time of the day that she was sent out,
| have my doubts. And know that when they are send
ing home somebody, they arn't too careful about feeding

will get something to eat at home. But / went around

would like to know if money is going to be appro-
priated to take the place of what we had appropriated
a couple OF years ago.
Mr.. OTTLEY: Thru the Chair: You recall that
this money that was appropriated was frozen some
weeks ago by the Legislature IN Speclal Session. Since
tnat time, we had Mr. bergman macon berryman,
Commissioner OF SOCIAL Wenare) mere, ana ne salu Jnat
Iney mad an estimate OF some Swedish architect for the
amount OF 100000 to put up this Home. And we told
him IN the FINANCE Committee that ii ne IS gong to be
insisting on $zUU, UOU tor an appropriation Tor the next
fiscal year the possibility was rnat ne wouldn't be able
to get TINS home built. But perhaps if he would reshape
the plans so That only $IOO,UuU would be necessary this
year Tor the first stage. We already have $4,000 on hand
right now, and we would only be required to put up
another $50,UOO and with that they can perhaps make
provision for SO or so people in this home. And since
that time, he wrote a letter to the Committee, and it is
on file somewhere, saying that if 100000 were appro-
prlated : $4,000 more were appropriated-to add to the
$4,000 now on hand, they Would pe able to give word
immediately if the money becomes available to make
provision for so or so aged people.
And think it is the consensus here that at least that
$4,000 should be appropriated.
