We hold this to be a fundamental principle of democratic government.” Governor Sholtz knows how to gov- ern by long distance. Thinking up new taxes also taxes the legislator’s ingenuity.

The movement has three distinet pur- poses: (1) To check the upward trend of unemployment, when work. is reduced for seasonal or other reasons, by employ- ing the greatest possible number of work- ers on a shortened working schedule; (2) To decrease unemployment by a wider spreading of work now available among a larger group of employes working shorter periods; (3) Whenever an_inereasing volume of business permits employing ad- ditional personnel, to do so by distributing the increased work to the greatest pos- sible number, rather than by working longer schedules. The result of such a movement, if adopted in all branches of industry, would be an immediate and appreciable increase in the purchases of food, clothing, shelter, and other necessary commodities and services. Millions of persons would be saved from want and despair. And, in ad- dition, that psychological assurance which comes with a feeling of job security, would do much to stimulate the public morale and cause increased spending by those who now have jobs, but have been hoarding against the chance of unemployment.. In some industries sharing-the-work will doubtless cause a certain amount of trouble, expense and dislocation. But it is worth it. It is an important phase of a solution of our most pressing problem— extreme and increasing unemployment. BUSINESS PROSPECTS The business outlook at the close of February is not as bright as it might be. There has been even less business in the first two months of 1938 then there was in 1932, The whole country seems to be wait- ing. - Nobody in business knows just what to expect and as a consequence, business all over the country is simply marking time. 2 The inauguration of Franklin D. Roosevelt should be followed by some im- provement, But until the special session of congress is called and there is some idea of what may be expected from it, there will be no real business stimulus. The passage of the beer bill will probably be the first real stimulus to gen- eral business. This will be followed by hope from other legislative action. But no action can be expected until congress is called into session, The speedy calling of congress would seem to be the best thing for the country. The first week in March would be a better time for convening than the third week in April. NATURE AND BILLBOARDS “To him who in love of nature hold* communion with her visible forms, she speaks a various language.” So wrote William Cullen Bryant in his famed poem “Thanatopsis,” published in 1817. Cargill, the cartoonist, takes this quotation as the caption for a cartoon depicting a motorist wending his way through a maze of billboards, which also “speak a various language,” ranging from praise of El] Punko cigars to an invitation to patronize the Rowdie Dow dance hall. In terms more eloquent than pages of text, the cartoonist characterizes the pres- ent disgraceful marring of natural scenery by blatant and offensive billboards, which not only obscure the beauties “of nature, but are in many instances a menace to traffic. » What would Bryant, poet and nature lover, say if he were to come back seeking inspiration for a modern “Thanatopsis?” DON’T DELAY ACTION ANY LONGER congress “Silver should have been remonetized | before the panic,” said a western mining ! journal recently. “(Then there would! have been no panic.) . . . To delay action | now is nothing short of criminal.” THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Our Government | —How It Operates By William Bruckart ere eereet ene etene renee nent t WHY THE SENATE? HE senate, through the years, ; has been termed the greatest de- Uberative body in the world, That fs because its own rules allow un- | limited debate. Onee a senator ts recognized by the presiding officer, he can go on and on with his speech ; he can talk about anything he de sires to discuss, except to cast as- | bersions on fellow senators or mem- bers of the house, and his state‘ ments may not be challenged in a court of law. Senators are jealous of their pre rogutives, They are constantly on watch against any move that threat- ens to limit debate. Though they appear to waste hours or days, and even weeks, by careless discussion and repetition, every -effort has | failed to change the basic formula ef unlimited debate. And it is well that no change ever has been accomplished, for in that very fact there is a tieagure of safety for the country that is often forgotten. Whereas the house of representa- tives, partly because of its great / humbers, but more particularly be- ¢ause of the shorter term of mem- bers, is- quite susceptible to public reaction on whatever public ques- tion absorbs attention at the mo- ment, the contrary is generally the cage in the senate, I do not mean thdt the senate goes against the will of the people, or that it stands out against apparent needs of the nation, It is responsive always in | the end, but it moves more slowly because traditionally it has given more thorough consideration to every question in an open exchange of ylews than is ever possible in the house with its larger member- ship, Thus, it can be seen readily that the senate acts as a check against too hasty action. Legislation can- not possibly be rushed through the eenate without extensive debate un- less everybody is In an accord as to the need therefor. But consider how the unlimited debate arrangement operates, or may operate, for your good and mine, Take the matter of a declara- tion of war, The house would re- ceive a message from the President, would refer the matter to a com- mittee, and would have the neces- sary resolution back before it and act on It possibly within two or three days. Not so in the senate, Its committee might quickly report its findings and recommend passage of the resolution declaring a state of -war in existence, Senators, how- ever, who doubted the advisnbil'ty of the course would not allow pre cipitate action. Such was the case in the declaration of war against Germany in 1917, There were the “wilful twelve,” you will recall. They thought a declaration of war was improper, and they blocked ac tion, In that instance, however, the sentiment of the country was over- whelming and vote was reached more quickly than ordinarily hap- pens, In the case of the treaty of Ver- sailles and the covenant of the League of Nations, the situation Was different. President Wilson rec- ommended ratification of the treaty ang adherence to the League. Ne’ ertheless, some of the senato thought the sentiment of the coun: try had not crystalized. Debate proceeded, unlimited debate, It con- tinued for weeks. Newspapers of the country took sides. The coun- try was fully informed, and event ually the proposal to join the League of Nations was so quyalifjed that it was a nullity. So the senate moves slowly. It Wastes a lot of time; of that there can be no doubt. Moreover, at times it appears almost stubborn, becayse of its apparent do-nothing attitude, Yet therein is strength for the na tion and its citizens for the possi- bility of ill-considered action Is eliminated.
