Expanding Social Security i American industrial workers and many other employes g@iready have begun the process of paying the tax which repre- its their share of the cost of the old age provisions of the jocial security act. Yet not many protests are heard about the gemoval from the weekly or monthly pay envelope of the work- 2 ars share. He is usually willing to do his part in purchasing * phe insurance which will provide for him in his advanced years. i The next big demand, it appears, will be for a broadening of he act and this sentiment is much more likely to prevail than tany agitation for elimination. In fact, once the thing gets well ginder way, the nation will be almost irrevocably committed to it. : Already farmers and persons engaged in public service hrre inquiring as to the possibility of obtaining coverage and it is clearly possible that others will do so. Those not covered, in addition to the classifications mentioned, are domestic ser- vants, Persons over 65 years old and those in business for them- Helves. Transportation workers also are excluded but about 75 per cent of these are covered by the railroad pension act. « Latest statistics show that 95.8 per cent of the workers in ‘mining and forestry are included in those covered, with 90 per tent of those in manufacturing and 68 per cent of those in trade. be 4 In view of the apparent trend of public thought, which is to 1 expect more and more of the government, it will not be sur- | prising if some elements in the population not now provided for { in the law will feel that they are being discriminated against. + . and demand revision of the statute to include them. Meanwhile, an immediate effect is to increase the demand for this type of insurance from private companies, who can offer it as cheaply as the government unless provision is made for a subsidy. This is one of the best evidences of the excellent job of selling which American insurance firms have done, In this country practically everyone knows about and be- lieves in the benefits of adequate insurance. It is one of our national characteristics—and one of our best characteristics, too. i Undermanned 4 The parole and probation system comes in for a good deal of criticism. Very often, however, what the critics are really protesting (although they don’t know it) is the fact that the _ system gets too little support rather than too much. { The University of California Bureau of Public Administra- _ tion recently made public an exhaustive study of penal reform ‘in California. It showed that whereas California has approxi- /mately 2,300 persons on parole from its state prisons, it has | entrusted the tremendously important job of supervising them | to a staff of 17 officers, of whom 10 are engaged in office work. / To be effective, a parole syatem requires a most thorough } study of the liyes, habits, backgrounds, and prospects of prison- ; ers, both before and after they are paroled. f Try to picture how effectively seven field agents can check ‘ up on 2,300 men—and you can understand why Californians oc- ‘ casionally express dissatisfaction with the way their parole ' system is working. pe Titles { The other day a Laborite asked Prime Minister Stanley | Baldwin to recommend a halt in granting British titles, pointing out that the practice was out of place ina Democratic age. Mr. Baldwin refused. “Experience shows that the more Demo- cratic the country, the longer the honors list,” he said. / While the prime minister’s contention may not be strictly | accurate, it does stress again the odd fact that democracy can- _ not erase man’s fondness for titles, however tinselly they may | be. | Though he be a firm believer in the equality of man, and | a scornful critic of royal sham, what democratic citizen doesn’t thrill to the newly acquired title of, say, “Grand Sachem” or “Fifth Vice President.” It would, in fact, be hard to heave a brick nowadays without ‘hitting a Kentucky Colonel. Or so it would seem, from the number who have aspired to and been granted that honor. Nature’s Warnings It is not entirely by accident that the disastrous Ohio Valley Zloods should be followed so promptly by news of great dust storms in the southwestern country. Both of these things, floods and dust storms, are in a very great measure due to plain human short-sightedness. When ‘we abuse our land, we lay ourselves open to nature’s reprisals. ‘We cannot control the rain that falls or the wind that blows, ‘but we can do something to keep the rain and the wind from Toosing catastrophes upon us. By using our soil properly and by spending wisely to con- ‘nerve it, we can go a long way toward keeping the perennial floods from overwhelming us. In the same way, we can keep | the winds from sweeping up loose topsoil into billowing dust storms. Flood and dust storm are tragic reminders that we are failing to take even the most elementary precautionary steps. es ‘Weather Vane’ State? eit It will be interesting to see what happens to the motion “fecently introduced in the Maine legislature whereby the date the state election would be changed from early in September the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. | The effect of this, of course, would be to put the state tion on the same date as the national election, as is the in other states. This would rob Maine of its last chance ) pose as “weather vane” in presidential elections. One may suspect that the people of Maine will be loath to sive up this distinction. The eyes of the nation are focused on ine, quadrennially ; if the new law passes, Maine will be just p of the 48 states. And yet, in view of what happened last fall, will the nation Ss ee et res Behivé Scenes Washington Pocececcccccccosocooorry Lines of Strategy Drawn Already for Battle of Century’ Over Reecse- veit’s Court Reform Idea, By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Feb. 19—Lines of stra- tegy in what may prove this century’s most historic battle now begin to take form. A struggle—at least comparable in bitter intensity and probably of more far reaching importance than that over the League of Nations—is in prospect over Roosevelt’s program for judicial reform. The opposition, with such old time “irrconcilables” as Senators William E, Borah and Hi- ram Johrson among its leaders, will seek to employ tactics used in the league fight. And Franklin D. Roosevelt, as his chief Woodrow Wilson once did, will take his cause to the country—this time through the ether frim the fire- side at the White House to the fire- sides of the nation. The Senate will be the battle- ground again, as a Roosevelt victory in the House is commonly cont When the attack on the league be- gan in 1919 hardly anyone thought ‘Wilson could be beaten. The late Sen- ator Brandegee had assured Borah it was hopeless and Borah had said, “Well, let's go ahead;” today Borah is saying, “Well, we've got a chance to beat it.” Borah and Johnson, like the six justices who would quit the supreme court if Roosevelt had his way, are over 70 years old now. x * x Will Broadcast Warnings The successful idea Borah, John- son, Lodge, Brandegee and others had 18 years ago, was to prolong hearing and debate until they could din into the nation’s ears what they consider- ed the dangers of entry into the league. Today the idea is to bring on ® parade of nationally-known figures who will broadcast warnings as to the Roosevelt plan while Re- publicans and conservative Demo- crats keep raising hue and cry on the Senate floor. Republicans are remaining mute for the present, as a matter of con- certed policy, explaining privately that “Democrats must win this fight”. Reduced to impotent minorities at November's election, they realize they cannot now provide leadership, but will’ throw their force behind Demo- crats who take the lead. ee 8 Just Rubber Stamp Chief among the opposition charg- es will be that Roosevelt has made Congress a rubber stamp and now hopes to bring the supreme court completely under his thumb, making himself an "absolute dictator”. Lob- byists and lawyers, for special inter- ests are on the job, fearing that if Roosevelt gets more appointees in the court, their last refuge from New Deal laws passed by Congress will be one, 4 The Roosevelt plan may be Harder to beat than the League of Nations because Republicans had a Senate majority in 1919 and isolationists needed only to prevent a two-thirds majority ratification vote. It is also uncertain how influential will be the criticisms of nationally-known men who were conspicuous in the cam- paign against Roosevelt. The administration campaign to popularise the program began with a national broadcast by Congressman Maury Maverick, who introduced the bill, to be followed by an all-impor- tant radio speech from Roosevelt. **_* * They Had $20,000 It will be continued with public as- sertions that the judicial power has been outrageously abused, that re- forms which Roosevelt has promised and presumably were endorsed in the election can be had in no other way. Speakers will say that pre-depression justices .who lived comfortably through the depression on $20,000 a year should not be allowed to threat- en agricultural prosperity, minimum wages, collective bargaining, relief, anti-sweatshop and anti-child labor. measures or public works and that the country should not be kept in turmoil two or three years or the wel- fare of 120,000,000 persons gambled with while a constitutional amend- ment is sought. oe * Ten States Needed The country will be reminded, as Mrs. Roosevelt already has begun to remind it, that although everyone professes publicly to abhor child la- bor, the child labor amendment is ndw 13 years old, with 10 more states still needed. for ratification. This amendment merely permits Ci to “regulate or prohibit” labor of persons under 18. The North Caro- lina House and Governor Hurley of Massachusetts recently have turned down Roosevelt's plea for ratifica- tion. A primary administration argu- ment will be that in this government of checks and balances the execu- tive has a check on Congress through the veto and Congress a check on the executive through power of the purse and power to override the veto. However, the judiciary has a com- plete check over both and neither Congress nor executive any check over the court's judiciary. (Copyright, 1937, NEA Eervice, Inc.) Qosece coo necce.
