And March 4 loses out as a historical _fate—Tampa Tribune. Instead it will be an historical date. “Edward Bellamy’s “Looking Back- ward,” first published in 1887, and his “Equality,” published ten. years later, heralded many of the ideas today en- nunciated by Technocracy. 0. O. MeIntyre informs that . rival broadcasting bureaus do not permit men- tion of the names of Kate Smith or Amos “nm. Andy. Quick to learn how to protect their interests, but expect to have news- paper associations furnish them with news free that costs thousands of dollats to gather, reno ‘Recently a professional bondsman was faced with the alternative of forfeit- ing $50,000 or produce his man in court within a week, while the man to be pro- duced was serving a 12 year sentence in a Mississippi prison. ‘Bout the only thing left for him is to pay up and join the vast army of people who are deploring the lack of justice in this old world. Come to think of it one reason why the “bonus army” put up such a stubborn fight was because it well knew the im- portance of the old adage “An army fights on ‘its stomach.” They were being well fed by individuals in sympathy with’ them. Next time any trouble of this sort pops up, | congress had better put some sort of food | blockade on the agitators, then watch the resuiting homeward trek. There is a sign on a building at the corner of N. E. Sixth Avenue in Miami which reads: ‘Head- quarters of Cuban Refugees.” New York, ‘Tampa and Key West also have their quota of these political exiles. Key West was a refuge of Cubans when persecuted by the | Spaniards and introduced the cigar busi- | ness here, and the large Cuban population in this city is the result of the exodus from the tyranny of the Spanish rulers, just as now many are fleeing from the despotism of Machado, street and First; | IS AMERICAN INITIATIVE AND ENTER- PRISE A MYTH? i The people of the United States have! e a reputation for initiative and enterprise. They start things and they finish; & char them. They have a chance now to dem- onstrate their ability as never before. Everyone is waiting for “business to pick up.” But business won’t pick up of its own accord. It will pick up when the desire and the determination to do some- thing rises again in our national con- sciousness, There are about 25 or 30 million families in the United States. This means that there are some 30 million men who are actual producers. Payrolls depend on construction ac- tivity—the building and upkeep of homes, factories and enterprises which consume every imaginable product. Building has been going down steadily for the past several years until it has be- come almost stagnant. Thousands of struc- tures are deteriorating because of lack of repairs, paint, rotting foundations, leaky plumbing, worn out heating plants, crumb- ling chimneys and a thousand and one other things which have been let go. Never in years could repair work or new construction be done as cheaply as today. There are millions of individuals and industries in this country that have savings and are well able to carry on necessary improvements now. Starting a few million jobs, varying in amounts from ten dollars to a few thousand dollars each, would release an avalanche of money and start the wheels of industry. Employment would increase; our nation would take heart and commerce and indusiry would slowly regain a normal : stride. Before long this improvement would be reflected in other nations. No amount of legislation or political panaceas involving increased taxation and greater public burdens, can do a fraction of the good that the people can do for themselves by exercising our much prized American initiative and enterprise. Do it now! Investment and employ- ment are cheaper than charity! elie CURBING A NUISANCE For several years numerous in- dividuals and firms have greatly annoyed citizens throughout the country by send- ing them articles of merchandise, which had not been ordered, by mail “on ap- proval.” Recipients of these unsolicited pack- ages of merchandise, usually hosiery, neck- ties and other articles of no great value, have apparently accepted the stuff and paid for it in a large percentage of cases, thus encouraging the spread of the prac- tice. Senders of these goods have at- tempted to secure payment from unwilling customers by means of tracers sent through regular postal channels, thus apparently making the Post Office Department a party to the scheme. This has been re- sented by the department, which now pro- poses legislation making these annoying practices an offense against the postal laws, a measure which will doubtless meet with general approval on the part of the public. Until this nuisance shall be curbed by official action, intended victims might adopt measures of their own similar to that employed by a certain physician, who re- ceived a $2 package of socks which had not been ordered. Instead of sending the wrote a letter enclosing a _ prescription which he assured the sender of the mer- chandise to be worth $2 and asked that the account be balanced. The mail order man evidently possessed a sense of humor—at any rate he accepted the prescription and | let it go at that. | money, he seyueeus: * The St. Louis Post Dispatch editorially announces that a number of great men! in the country have admitted that the de- pression is too much for them and _ this leading Missouri paper pleads with men like Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roose- velt to “admit” the same. But if respon- sible men like the former were rash enough to do anything like this, might not the country be thrown into greater despair. For Americans are not wholly inclined to |e “Hope and Pray,” they want action andj facts about the terminus of this financial “low” in the United States. jing in Judge Hugh Gunn tyesterday and bound over to crim-/ CROSS L Maltrest iE Be : 1 Native metal 14, Utility 15.
