It's a claim against everything you own or ever hope to own. ‘The federal government debt is now about $28,000,000,000 (it will soon be $34,000,000,000) and local governments owe some $20,000,000,000. Nobody else is ever going to pay it but you. But it isn’t so bad. If you were a Britisher, you'd owe $901 in the same way. If the World war had gone on another year, you'd probably owe more than you do now. ‘Treasury figures reducing these 29 | debts to terms of the individual citi- zen are fortunate, because they bring home a thing that people are apt to 0 forget about public debts.

Invisible Government Never have the people of North Dekota had a better example of the ‘workings of an invisible government than that presented by the majority faction in the house at this session of the legislature. Our representative form of gov- the problems presented to him with am unbiased mind. The legislative setup contemplates that public ques- tions will be openly broached and Properly discussed to the end that fair decisions may be reached. ‘This is to be done, it is true, within the framework established by party organisations, since @ form of gov- Tesentative, not of e party, but of all the people in the district which he sepresents, ‘If the ideals set up by the founders recting dog.

Do you draw wages or a salary? It isn’t all yours for certain until these public debts are paid. ‘We're too apt to think of the public treasury as some sort of inexhaustible fountain pouring out gold from a mysterious source. There's nothing mysterious about it. It all comes out of your pocket, and the pockets of your neighbors. And that’s true quite regardless of what kind of taxes is used to raise the money. Income taxes, tariff lev- ies, production taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes, cigaret taxes, amusement taxes, Mquor taxes—they all come from one source in the long run, the only source there is—the pockets of the people who work to produce either) goods or services. All that is not saying the money shouldn't be spent. The best author- ities agree that the country collec- tively can carry a far heavier debt than we are now carrying. Probably it must. But every man, woman and child has @ direct interest in seeing that the money is well spent and that we Get something of permanent value for the money. Relief from Relief In a little story from London, light is thrown on just what the relief problem means—and what patience 1s going to be required to work it out. In London, one Frederick Head, unemployed father of five children, ‘was sentenced to one month at hard labor for refusing to learn a trade in the government training classes. ‘The new British regulations provide that he has made an honest effort to get work. But the interesting part of it is that Head had been drawing about $8.50 a week in relief ever since 1923. For 12 years, the public had paid this man in cash because it had been unable to give him a chance to work. And after 12 years of that, Head re- fused to go to the trade school be- “leause he said it was “a waste of time.” It is to avoid this sort of thing that an effort is now being made to substitute work for handouts in this country. ‘There's a great lesson taught in every war.

It is strikingly clear, however, that “employables” on relief are heavily liquidating—a Roosevelt aim. Stress on use of manual rather LW 1 than machine labor, lack of compe- Utive bidding, and probable employ- ment of many persons at tasks to which they are unaccustomed are fac- tors which do not make for “business- like” operation. CONGRESS TO BE CRITICAL Figures used to indicate that all “employables” on relief will be taken care of are still another story. Ex- perts who have analyzed them believe that if there is no considerable pickup in private employment, a group per- haps running into the millions will have to be maintained on direct relief or left high and dry. Added to all this uncertainty is the insistence of organized labor that: the anticipated low wages for relief work will force down private wage rates. Between one thing and another, it 1s possible that someone will have to do # lot of explaining before the huge Program gets through congress, SHUSH FURNITURE ‘DEAL’ One way to get yourself disliked in certain NRA quarters is to go down there and ask questions about the furniture that used to be in General Johnson's office. There seems to be @ strong feeling that the less said about it, the better. A magnificent suite of solid walnut mysteriously followed the general out when he left his big job.
