Constitutionality Those folk who believe the provi- Bions and restrictions of the consti- tution act merely as a bar to con- structive action by the people and Serve as a safeguard for the rich, might take a look at that new labor edict issued by Hitler in Germany and then revise their ideas. It is true that, at times, the con- Btitution seems to protect the rich and help to oppress the poor and to hamper the government in certain of its efforts to change the current ‘scene, but this is not always the case, even when it seems to be the fact, ‘nd the protection given the poor ts indubitable. In America, for example, any effort! to force labor into a state of peonage would clearly be ruled unconstitu- tional and in conflict with those parts of that document which insure to every citizen to the right to the pur- suit of liberty. Liberty clearly couldnot exist if the workers were hemmed in by the new German restriction which places the employer in a paternal relation to the employe and forbids the lat- ter to leave his job, strike or seek employment elsewhere. In short, Hitler’s edict freezes the situation in Germany into a preser- vation of the status quo, makes every employer the ruler of his em- ployes’ destinies and prevents the la- borer from making individual efforts to improve his status. This power is intended to be exercised in a benevo- lent manner, but there is no assur- ance that it will be. In government, many a benevolent dictatorship has turned into a tyranny and the same may be true of personal relationships, ‘What worker in America would welcome such a situation here? ‘Who among our vast working pop- ulation would not welcome the pro- tection of the constitution if such circumstances, created here, became oppressive? It isn’t always the coward who takes refuge behind the word “con- Stitutionality.” Very frequently that great bulwark is the one preservation of our inhesent rights and privileges. Pigs Is Pigs It 1s @ little difficult to get Con- gressman William Lemke's slant in his opposition to the corn-hog pro- gram of the department of agricul- ture. Speaking in the house the other day, he expressed the view that the hog reduction program hasn't been 80 effective and, in support of this view, held up for his fellow law- makers to see @ newspaper photo- graph of a sow and her 22 pigs, taken since the reduction program ‘was inaugurated. ‘The dispatch was @ short one and it may be that some essential points | in the congressman’s views were not. fully explained, but taking the thing as is, it would seem Mr, Lemke is expecting the obviously impossible if hhe expects the reduction program to’ change porcine nature, It is a long time since Ellis Parker Butler wrote his famous the moral is clearly in point, Never adhering to s high standard, nd deaf to suggestions of birth con- trol, pig nature now is just about, ws a gifs jsunny days in January when we act &@ respite from the cold and gray of the normal winter. ‘We have just been having such a demonstration of the weather's va- garies and nearly everyone will agree that it was wholly enjoyable, furnish- ing @ brief respite from the cold we already have had and that which we know will certainly follow before spring really makes its appearance. Somehow or other, these January thaws seem to be an earnest of na- ture’s future intentions. Coming, as they do, shortly after the period of the least possible sunshine, they do much to cheer and encourage and to 0 | Tenew the virtues of faith and hope in the future. A reader of The Tribune reported 50) Sunday that a tulip had pushed through the earth on the south side of his house. It may be cut down in its youth, so to speak, by subsequent low temperatures, but the fact that it came at all is an encouragement. Just as false leaves on.a plant fre- quently indicate the incipient bur- geoning of the true leaves, so do these midwinter mild spells forecast the true coming of spring a few months later. Low Rents Essential It is encouraging to discover that the public works administration is insisting that slum clearance proj- ects now under consideration be de- vised so that the lowest possible rents be charged in the completed build- ings. An elaborate housing program was devised for one large manufacturing city, and it was figured that the new apartments would rent for approxi- mately $7 a room. PWA authorities notified local authorities that this figure was too high, and that federal funds would not be forthcoming un- Jess a revision was made to bring the rentals down. ‘This is extremely sensible. of $7 a room would make a five-room apartment cost $35 a month, and there are plenty of people who simply cannot afford to spend that much money. Furthermore, they are precisely the people who occupy slum quarters, and whom housing programs are designed to help. There would be little sense in replacing slum dwellings if the new quarters were too expensive for their prospective occupants to use, Auto Toll Rises Still the automobile grows more and more deadly. Figures compiled by a large insurance company show that 29,900 Americans were killed in auto accidents last year; and while this is only a small increase over the total for 1932, the dismaying fact is revealed that the death list was pro- portionately a good deal higher. Thus it is pointed out that the ratio of fatalities to the number of accidents has increased by nearly six per cent, and that the increased number of deaths occurred despite the fact that the total of auto regis- trations and gasoline consumption had dropped. If some pestilence were sweeping the nation at this rate we would mobilize all our forces to check it. How long, do you suppose, will we continue to sit by placidly and ac- cept this frightful auto death toll as one of the inescapable hazards of modern life?

Not holding any brief for Lund, the testimonial of District Judge A. J.

THE HOSPITAL OR CLINIC OBSESSION Last March an editor told us here just how much it had cost her to have her third baby. Her old family doctor charged $35 for his services— including all prenatal care, attendance in confinement and after-care. Then sne had a nurse for two weeks at $35 a week—a graduate nurse and a grand gal, though not Registered. The nurse had the o. k. of the doctor, however. The things the doctor ad- vised the editor to have ready cost 32.84 at the local drugstore—the edi- tor, having brains, lives in a subur- ban village and commutes to her work, Her friends donated clothes, all in a jolly friendly way—some new articles, some cast-offs outgrown by their own children—but the editor kad to part with 75 cents for two shirts for the layette. She says all three of her babies have been pur- chased on this same easy payment plan and she intends to stick to the system for the next three. Gosh, I like to listen to that editor's talk. It acts liks antitoxin. A doctor in practice can manage somehow to keep in mind the fact that the world is not so sordid or 0 ugly as it may appear to his professional eye. But 1am conducting @ health column and it sickens me to find that the most frequent question asked by those con- templating marriage or recently mar- vied is about “birth control.” The editor’s report of her success- ful system brought in many letters about the hardships of paying for a 1933 model baby. I gather that people take it as a hardship mainly because nobody who can get out of it is doing it; whereas Paying for the family chariot is not so hard because everybody's doing it. One prospective mother who had borne two children without difficulty, had “Ben Told” it would go hard with her this time because she is now nearly forty. That's just one of those old traditions, So this time she de- cided to go to a hospital, a so-called free hospital. She says she was kept waiting 3% hours, and then, having Passed through six officials, she was, curtly informed that she must pay $65 in installments, ten dollars cash down, and the doctor advised her she shouldn't have the baby if finan were uncertain......

Assistant Secretary of the Interior Theodore A. Walters is on the bad books of Secretary Ickes. One of these days you'll probably hear that Walters] q has taken another government job. Nearly all the important duties ord-. inarily handled by a first assistant have been taken away from him. Sup- ervision of reclamation has been tech- nically left with his office, but Ickes insists on handling that himself. Walters, backed for his post by Sen- ator Pope of Idaho, courted his down- fall when he squawked at the activi- ties of Administrative Assistant Ebert K. Burlew, a Hoover administration holdover. Walters said he didn’t see why he should take Burlew’s orders. Many other Ickes subordinates, in- cluding the liberals with whom higher Interior posts are stacked, also resent- ed Burlew's power.

He got down and crept along the bridge on hands and knees, with Paul behind him. Midway he stopped, loosened @ piece of bark and listened for the sound. Several seconds later he heard the bark hit against a rock and splash into the stream. ‘The chasm, about seventy feet deep, was not so abysmal as he had thought; but for the mar who fell into it those seventy feet would be plenty, with rocks to crash on and that underground creek to sweep one away. Joining Tenn-Og on the other side, he lt another match and looked around. ‘He found himeelf in a large irregularly shaped cave, warm and dry and fully fifty feet across. Sb fts like the entrance led off in a dosen directions, some straight back into the mountain rock, others parallel- ing the face of the cliff. By the match fre he also noticed signs of human occupancy. In the flickering light he glanced at Tenn-Og, who was staring at the snowshoes and fireplace; and on the Indian's face, usually so masklike, he sat storm of emotions. This was the place, the very place, where Tenn-Og and the Sikanni girl had | tho: spent their idyllic summer. Paul picked up a balsam branch, teuched it to Curt’s match, and leoked around the cave with mar veling eyes. “Name of the Name!” he breathed. “Here you and I could hold off a hundred men!” “Maybe so, but if they’d ever hap- pen to bottle us up in here, we'd stay for a hundred years, I want something more substantial than that spider footlog between me and the outside.” Tenn-Og shook hi. head. “We get out quick.” He pointed to one of the black shafts at their right and indicated that it opened out on a ledge near the fissure. “But suppose they’é plug that opening up?” Curt asked. other Klosobees didn’t know about it, Tenn-Og sald.

As much as he wanted to try the’ trap, he finally decided against it. ACK outside, he explained to Tenn-Og that the cave was no good, and asked him to show them & better place. ‘The Indian took them down slope’ fitty yards, worked over to the left and brought them to a little knoll. The spot looked ideal to Curt at bis first glance. A tangle of rocks and windfall logs gave them fine cover; the slope fell away so steeply in front that an attack from that direction was impossible; and the upper side was Protected by a thicklet of devil's club, spiked with wicked three-inch rns. The range was as good as he could ask for, and down at the lake shore the whole camp lay wide open to their guns, ‘The.stars had already paled and were fading one by one, Down at the cabin a man, a white man, stepped out into the gray dawn, looked around and started down to the canoe landing.
