Crowley of the Federal Deposit Insurance corporation and Jesse H. Jones of the Reconstruction Finance corpora- tion, represents both a return to sound govern- ment and to sound common sense. Despite the things which the government has had to do in the last few years, beginning with Hoover’s administration in 1930, the| axiom that the nation which is governed least is governed best still holds. The trouble was that the government HAD to step in to avert panic as bankers, lax and lenient in the halcyon days of the late twenties, | Thus far it's only talk. But evidence has been as- there may be for action, vague, especially since collapse of the NRA and during current faltering attempts to establish voluntary codes, taken. It is conceded that some bread price prosecutions might be a smart political move. Much of the price-fix- ing in bredd has affected only bread sold in intrastate commerce, but some of the higher-priced bread is regu- larly shipped across state lines. Officials concerned have been reading with interest &® recent excerpt from the Food Field Reporter, trade publication. which said the Flour Association of Philadel- phia had demanded an increase of 3% per cent in the wholesale price of bread so some bakers might pay flour bills long overdue. The story added: i “The association members control 99 per cent of the flour business in the city, it was pointed out by S. Gartland Horan, president of the association. He indicated that bakers who refuse to increase the price will find their flour supplies cut off.” HH Officials of the Philadelphia Bakers’ Club are quot- ed, subsequently, as saying the price increase—amounting to 1 cent a loaf retail—had been virtually forced on the bakers by the flour men. NEW HIGH IN SMUGNESS Several hundred employes of the Resettlement Ad- ministration recently went from three to nine weeks without their pay checks, which was no fun at all, There was some local publicity about it, so RA gave a state- ment saying the mess was due to a classification of its ; employes. The plain fact was that the works became gummed ;up. RA’s explanatory statement contained one para- | graph which deserves particular attention: | “There has been and will be no attempt to | investigate the identity of the Resettlement em- | ployes who advised the press of the payroll situa- tion.” Censorship and secret’ attempts to spot and punish jemployes who have “leaked” news to the embarrassment {of their superiors have been frequent in the New Deal. But the RA statement reaches a new high in its smug | magnanimity—and nerve. (Just the same, your correspondent doesn’t mind | denying a report that RA is paying $275,000 a year for office space in the Walsh mansion on Massachusetts avenue. It pays $20,000, none too cheap.) * oe SOME MIXED FIGURES Editor Frank Shannon of the Wharton Spectator, Wharton, Tex., calls attention to a recent error in this column which will be corrected herewith, It was reported that PWA officials were quite proud because Wharton had obtained a reduction of 67 per) swung to the other extreme when trouble | Se" in the price of its domestic electricity as a result loomed. They couldn’t be blamed for that, since their first duty was to protect themselves and their depositors, but it did have the effect of ham-stringing business at a time when it needed every encouragement. / Now there are increasing signs that the) bankers are willing once more to assume the role designed for them in the nation’s fiscal! policy. The advancing stock market. has been} a big encouragement. Fears that the stock market regulation act and federal blue sky laws would prove unfair or unwieldy have been dis- sipated. Those men who resented interference} with their “prerogative” of selling to the pub- lic whatever they chose under whatever repre- sentations they chose, are singing low. The bankers have pulled their heads out of | the sand and are looking about them. They are again beginning to realize that America is a great country, peopled by a great nation, and that both the country and the people can take! a@ lot of punishment. Their confidence reasserting itself. Thus the need for federal financing agencies §s, disappearing. There is every reason to be- lieve that the financial picture soon will fall fnto the old pattern, altered only by those laws} which are of a permanent character. | i is An Old Chestnut Endorsement by English clergymen of the “mercy | murder” movement whereby physicians would remove from the world such persons as were suffering intense Pain and who were known to be incurable, brings to the fore again an argument which at various times has occu- Pied the attention of both humanitarians and theolo- gians. On the whole, the theologians have been sharply egainst it, hence the attitude of England's “gloomy dean” and his cohorts marks a departure from the tra- ditional stand. Their opposition, generally speaking, is based on the theory that a murder, no matter what the reason for it, still is a murder. In addition, they do not subscribe to the belief that any physical or mental condition is nec- essarily incurable, Putting their faith in the infinite goodness and wis- dom of the Creator, they take the view that man imposes ® large burden upon himself by attempting to interfere with the Divine plan in so drastic 2 manner. As a prac- tical thing they often argue that many a person still is alive who was told by doctors many yefrs ago that he had only a short, time to liye. Nevertheless, it is rather obvious that the “mercy murder” movement is spreading. It should not surprise local residents if it, or something approaching it, had happened in Bismarck. Frequently the cases are of a borderline nature. For example, a “monster,” that is a child so badly deformed that it could obviously not be normal either physically or mentally, is born. Heroic efforts might enable it to liye, but they are not. made.. Is this “murder” in the agcepted sense? If so, is it any more culpable than the thousands of deaths due to carelessness,or those thou- sands of others due to indifference and lack The argument, of course, has of its plan to build a municipal plant with PWA money. The 67 per cent reduction in reality had been cumu- lative over a 10-year period. The error was due to a full page advertisement by the power company which ballyhooed the figures in such way to cause PWA of- ficlals who saw it to believe that the cut had come all of a sudden. ao 8 ‘ A GAUGE ON F. R. Generally speaking, for the next year you'll be able to judge the degree to which Roosevelt is worried about re-election by the extent to which he expands or con- tracts his traveling and speaking engagements, (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.) = = —— = E With Other | 8x" | A-DITORS | te 38 | The Townsend Plan (Farmers Union Herald) Quite to our astonishment, the resolutions commit- tee reported to the Montana state convention of the Farmers Union a resolution favoring the Townsend Old Age Pension Plan. A lively two-hour discussion follow- ed when the resolution was read to the convention, after which it was rejected. We were astonished that the Townsend plan came up at all. Everywhere and always the Farmrs Union has been opposed to a sales tax, and it is by use of a sales tax and a heavy one, that the Townsendites propose to raise the money to pay the aged a pension of $200 per} month, fact that we believe Herald readers immune to any argument or plea that the Townsendites might make. We were, however, somewhat pleased that the Town- sendites were continuing the agitation for a sizable old age pension, because we are quite convinced that the! old age pension law enacted by congress is tragically weak, and that if it is ever used at all, will be on the order of pauper relief, rather than a pension. The weakness of the act passed by congress is that it is a dollar-matching affair. The federal government Provides as much as the state will provide, up to $15 per month. The maximum old age pension, therefore, will be $30 per month. Most of the states will divide their share of the dollar-matching with counties, so that the pension money will come as follows: Federal funds . 15.00 State funds 150 County funds . 150 Total .. $30.00 In many cases the counties will have charge of local administration. County boards of directors, because of the fact that there must be tax levies to raise the county share, will put up every possible resistance and offer every available excuse for denying the pension. ‘The old person will have to make a pauper's oath to get on the pension rolls, and many will not get on the rolls even then. The old age pension, as it will be ad- ministered, therefore, will not be a pension at all, but pauper relief. Now, one of the main reasons for an old age pension is to retire the aged from active service, and thus make jobs and places for oncoming youth. If the retirement ‘age be 65 or 70, then no person beyond that age should be privileged to draw a salary or wages. In other words, if the pension be compulsory, the cessation from: active | remunerative work should be compulsory, This will not prevent men or women beyond the retirement age from working for themselves, but it would mean that no industry could hire a man or wo- man beyond the retirement age. CHILD LABOR AND AGED LABOR SHOULD BOTH BE ABOLISHED, ‘The money for such a pension should come from those who are working, in other words, from @ pay-roll tax, graduated sharply, but so as to include every per- son who draws a wage, or a salary. The pension should be adequate to support the pensioner comfortably, but, of course, not luxuriously. Anti-Trust Law Suits May Be Aimed at Bread Price ike ... RA Chiefs Condescend Not to Punish Un- .

The cards are stacked against you. But before I get through here-—” He paused, then went on: “Mike, I’m beginning to get on the trail of something here. At least a part of that Red Jack- son gang is floating around Dover. And part of the loot they got in that Neola robbery turns up here. It passes through the bands of Don Montague, who is one of Dover's most citizens. Before we get through I’m going to have the whole picture. And when I do—things are going to be different.” Hagan looked at him earnestly. “Going to have a little chat with Mr. Montague?” he asked. Larry nodded and looked at his watch, “Lord, I'd no idea it was so late,” he said. “He'll have left his office for the day, by now, Oh, well, he'll keep until tomor- row. That's one thing about these big shot slickers—they don't ron away from you, anyway.’ “No,” grunted Hagan, “they don’t need to. You can’t do any- thing to ‘em if they do stick around.” oee LABEY meditated. “I'm not so sure,” he said slowly. “This man Montague is beginning to draw too many cards in this whole mix-up, Look: we trace these stolen bonds to him.

And the guy that rented the cance to him, out on the Grand River, he came in too.” “Montague rounded ‘em up, of course,” mused Larry. Hagan nedded. “Funny thing,” he said, “He ‘didn’t even go out of his own office for his star wit ia “How do you mean?” “Why, his own secretary. Swell- looking girl ‘she {s, too.

Larry gripped the edge of the desk angrily. “Why, that girl—I've known her since she was knee high! She's one of the sweetest little young: sters ever born. And she—she came in and alibied for this lad Harkins? She'd been with him, canoeing, all afternoon?” “That's it.” a “Lords” said Larsy fervently, “Is Montague making that kid perjure herself to keep his clients—” “E don’t think she was lying,” seid Hagan calmly. “I think was telling the truth. An’ that’s whet makes it puzzling. Because I can’t help thinking that payne was the bird who pulled that rob- bery, too.” eee PAN. DUNN drew her legs up un- der her, as she sat in the corner of the davenport, and beamed across the room at Larry Glenn, who sat at his ease in the easy chair under the bridge lamp. “You can't say it isn’t pretty fat- tering,” she said. “What is?” “Having you for a caller. Hum- ble stenographer entertaining the busy business man—what is it, again, that you're doing, Larry?” “Ob, I do odds and ends of fobs for Uncle Sam.” said Larry. “Besides,” he added. “I promised your father and mother I'd keep an eye on you, didn’t I? And so far T’ve only seen you once since I've been in Dover.” i “Well,” said Jean, “that’s not my fault, is it?” “I don't know,” said Larry, adopt- ing light, bantering tone. “I hear failed to notice that Larry's muecies were tightening at this-bit of evidence that she | ly terms with Harkins. “Anyway, he and I'd been out canoeing this afternoon, and next week it devel- oped that he happened to look like @ man the police were looking for about a robbery, and it just hap- pened that the robbery had hap- Pened the very afternoon that we were out canoeing, so Mr. Mon- tague took us down to police head- quarters and I told them about it _ ¢ and that’s all there was to “Oh.” Larry looked at her spec: ulatively: “Mr. Montague took you, did he?” * “Why, yes... . It’s funny, your mentioning Bobby. Because if it hadn't been for Bobby I might not have been canoeing with Sandy at all that day. Anyway, Bobby came in to see Mr. Montague that after. noon—” “Bobby did?” “Sure.” Something about the surprise in Larry's tone made her open her eyes wider. “He had something he wanted to sell Mr. Montague—" “Sell him?” “Yes. What's the matter tonight, Larry?” “Don't mind me. I'm getting flighty in my old age. Go on with your story.” “Oh. Anyhow, Bobby came in ‘and went into Mr. Montague's office, and then Mr. Montague came out and said 'I might ss well take the rest of the day off, as I did, and I bumped into Sandy downstairs and we went canoeing. That's all.” “Mmmm. Know this—what do you call him, Sandy?—very well, Jean?” Her cheeks grew redder by just the faintest shade, and she looked at the floor for a moment. Larry missed none of it. Then she said. “Why—yes, pretty well.” He looked at her fondly, Then, tober surprise, he got up and came over and rested one hand on her shoulder, “Jean,” he said, “I'm getting Jealous of all these young blades. I want to see more of you myself. I’m not going to neglect you the way I have been. You'll save come time for the old uncle, won't you?” “Why, of course, Larry,” she said. “The more I see of you the happier I'll be. You know that.”
