It is a commonly accepted fact that people wear the shoes that fit them. _'' President Roosevelt will go down in ‘history as the plain talker with aspunch in his words. What happens when the “yes” man gets in a dilema involving neither “yes” nor “no” for an answer? When folks do crazy. things they are very apt to be called crazy, more often, however, it is not insanity but just plain damfoolery. Former United States Assistant At- torney Dodds, before a senate sub-commit- tee, made this astounding statement yes- terday: “I don’t know of a national bank in the country that hasn’t had false entries in its statement to the public.” a Beer containing 8.2 per cent of alcohol is not intoxicating, in’ the opinion of the Kentucky Court of Appeals. Why pay the cost of the courts for such decision when anyone on the street would have done it for nothing, and have been just as correct. For the recovery program, $6,000,- 000,000 has been appropriated by Con- gress. That is a vast figure and it is doubtful if the administration will require asum even approximating that huge amount. To get an estimate of just how much money that is let some chap start counting. | But don’t wait till he finishes; you might get hungry in the meantime. The trouble about sending somebody to Europe to represent us in a conference is that conditions are changing so rapidly we change our minds faster than the dele- gates can change theirs. By'the time Hull got through telling the world at London what we wanted, we no longer wanted ex- actly that: so we have to send Moley to tell Hull to tell the other delegates what Roose- velt now wants. The next question is: Whom shall we send for Moley? One of the heartening aspects of the country’s condition now is the fact that more than one and a half millions of peo- ple have gone back te work in the past sixty days. If that rate can be maintain- ed for another ten months, practically ev- erybody will be employed. And that’s making allowance for the fact that this month the schools and colleges of the coun- try are turning out a million and a half graduates to swell the roster of unemploy- ed, at least temporarily. We make a fundamental error in tak- ing to a conference in Europe decisions which control the purchasing power of our dollar and thereby the relations of all Americans with each other. In the Louden conference, we meet a group of nations whose currencies are already heavily de- preciated, united by a common interest in keeping the dollar high. They are rep- represented by professional diplomats of long experience who are too slick for our untried and too guileless diplomats. We meet them, one against many, and at a disadvantage. If we are fortunate and well represented, the conference will end in disagreement as to this point. If not, we shall compromise our position with un- fortunate, if not disastrous results. BER 1933. SQUEEZE THE OFFICIAL SPONGE If there is “watered stock” in indus- try, there is certainly “watered stock” in government when measured by the same yardstick. If there are industrial organizations where the investor gets only $1 worth of value for $2 worth of stock, there are cer- tainly government operations where he gets only $1 worth of value for $2 worth of taxes. The difference between stock in a pri- vate corporation and stock in government, | is that the investor does not have to buy the former but he certainly has to sub- scribe to the latter and any property that | he has may be taken by the government to | pay his bill. There isas much or more need for “wringing the water” out of government operations, as there is for wringing it out of private operations. In fact, there is more need, for the simple reason that there is not the same individual incentive to keep government solvent as there is to keep pri- i vate business solvent. When government is running in the red, the powers that put it there simply ask the taxpayers for additional sums to make up the deficits of bad management. When a private industry runs in the red, it eventually goes out of existence and its managers lose their jobs. There is so much water in the manage- ment of government today that if the offi- cial sponge were squeezed, the savings to the taxpayers would revive our economic structure as would a pitcher of water pour- ed on a parched plant. ELECTRICITY BELOW STAIRS To the home-owner, one of the most interesting of the power industry’s exhib- its at the Chicago World Fair is that show- ing electricity at work in the basement. There is no furnace and no coal bin in this modern basement. Instead, there is a neat cabinet which controls tempera- ture all year round, maintaining it accord- ing to the preference of the family within, irrespective of the temperature without. Next to this is a modern home laundry— Complete with washing machine, cabinet dryer, power ironer and ironing table. for hand pressing. All apparatus has been scientifically arranged to require the mini- mum number of steps in performing hous- hold tasks. To the man of the home, this base- ment is a boon. The space once needed for coal storage becomes the house work- shop with lathe, circular saw, jig saw, drill press and so on, A clever innovation in this little workshop is a new type of multi- ple outlet for the connection of such de- vices as the soldering iron or small sanding machine. This is in reality an outlet strip running conveniently along the work ta- ble in which outlet slots appear every ten inches, Best of all is the fact that modern basements of this kind do not belong in the exclusive province of the millionaire. They can be equipped for a sum that is very small indeed in comparison to the new standards of efficiency, cleanliness and comfort they give the home-owner. THE MARCH OF STATES Of the 14 states which have ratified the prohibition repeal amendment none has afforded more encouragement to the vepealists nor chagrin to the drys than lowa. At last the corm belt is definitely in the wet column. . Altheugh California and Virginia will certainly ratify the amendment next Tues- day to complete the “sweet sixteen,” the next date of strategic importance is July 11, when Alabama goes to the polls. In that state the drys will put forth their ma- jor effort to break the solidity of the lower South and to force postponement of ratifi- cation by 36 states until 1034 when they expect to be able to consolidate their forc- e€s. The Literary Digest poll last year in-} dicated Alabama's dislike for prohibition. | But it should be remembered that the State was never “bene dry” by popular vote or legislative enactment prior to na- tional prohibition. It has several cities of relatively heavy voting strength. Vice-presidents have the reputation of being unacticed. Then along came Gar- ner and said, “I shall become the worst vice-president the country has ever had,” meaning, it may be presumed, he intends to stay very much before the public eye.
