A. is to aid business, not to injure nor destroy it. In its essential sense it is a recovery act, not a destructive agency. The course of a life-career has some- times been the direct consequence of a triv- ial ingident,.a slight mistake or mishap, a chance call, a letter gone astray, the least apparent accident. A Hollywood girl has won eight whist- ling contests; three bathing beauty con- tests, two beautiful back contests, .four beautiful leg contests, one beautiful face contest, one long hair contest, three model- ing’ contests and one contest for the best horsewoman—Maybe she’s got “it.” = N. R.A. Agreements to ebide by the terms of President Roosevelt’s blanket code and the spirit and letter of the National Recovery | Act have not been signed very generally here. How much re-employment has been created locally is a matter of conjecture. It is too early to predict with certainty how effective the movement will be. There is much confusion, much uncertainty as to the practical working of the scheme.. Some apparent absurdities have arisen. Just as employers were grasping at | the opportunity to claim the advantages PS the code, wherein signers agree to buy only from signers, along comes a_ ruling | | that the man-and-wife store of unlimited | hours and no wages can sign up on an equal footing with those that pay fixed wages for short hours. Word comes from various unofficial sources that newspapers are not subject to the code for the reason that it Would limit the freedom of the press; but job-printing plants are subject to the code. That leaves open the question as to how many hours | ™ the employes of a combination newspaper and job plant are limited to. Signers of the code have certified that they already are complying with the terms. Yet few, if any, at this stage may be cer- tain that their daily purchases: are made from firms which have complied with the code—a pledge which is as solemn as any’ other part of it. The administration of the act is so gummed-up, letters of inquiry remain un- answered. A ‘speaker’s bureau is organ- izing to explain and interpret the require- ments of the code, but meantime confusion becomes worse confounded as the code is re-shaped by interpretation to fit the ne- cessities of special groups and localities. Men of common-sense and generous public spirit are wondering just how they can afford to re-employ workmen to manu- facture or sell goods for which there is no market and at the same time pay taxes out of zero profits to support the several mil- lions who still will remain unemployed. This is not an effort to reduce the pro- position to an absurdity. This newspaper trusts General Hugh Johnson will not be- come merely Bally-‘Hoo” Johnson, but that he will put some teeth into a real code of fair practice jn business—one ‘wfhich so glimfnates cut-throat competition and duplication of effort as to make fair profits possible as a real foundation for re-employ- mént. But if that ideal is reached and all the small duplicating and unnecessary. busi- nesses are forced out will that not create still more unemployment and thus perpet- uate the vicious circle? Who can answer? The movement had to get started, somehow, . The uncertainties doubtless will be ironed out soon. Meantime; a gen- erous amount of faith on the part of em- ployers would dictate the advisability of signing up promptly as the first step in a serious effort to make the beh: work. A PRIZE JACKASS Numerous stories are told, some true ani some untrue, of the stupidity of gov- ernmcat officials ‘clothed with a little brief authority.” ne which seems to be well authenticated was told in press dispatches recently about a federal deputy game war- den in Indiana. A humane gentleman and bird lover named Foster Lewis found a red bird with a broken leg in his back yard. He had the wounded bird’s leg set, cared for it and nursed it back to health. After the bird was well it refused to leave its benefactor and persisted in staying about the house. Then comes the deputy game warden, who points out to Mr. Lewis that he is violating the federal migratory bird law by keeping a red bird on the premises. And Mr. Lewis is arrested. We don’t know how the case came out, but if that game warden was not fired and branded as the prize jackass of 1933 he didn’t get what was coming to him.
