SUBSCRIPTION RATES WORK OR PORK? (Palatka Daily News). It begins to seem that the American people may become surfeited with too much federal manna. Take the case of Palatka, Peniel and Francis, for instance. CWA clients of these three communities came in for a pretty poundage of government pork— right out of the pork barrel—as’a result of the latest distribution of pickled sows and oo | Pigs.

President Roosevelt enters upon the second calendar year with the reasonable hope that he has averted the calamity of grass growing in the streets of a hundred cities if the country’s fate would be placed in democratic hands, as the republicans : gloomily prognosticated. In his article Monday, Brisbane says that Keats, the poet, lies beside his friend, Severn, in the graveyard at Rome. Shelly is buried beside Keats in the Protestant cemetery in Rome, andthe confusion of names is probably an inadvertancy, instead of ignorance of the fact on the part of the eminent columnist. Newspapermen of Florida who have been named as postmasters include Hansel Leavengood, of the Ocaia Star; Bob Holly, Sanford; Elmer McCleary, Gainesville; Leslie George, Perry. Deserved recogni- tion will come to other newspaper men, who have fought hard and long to keep : the state safe for the democrats. The Seventy-third congress meets - + morrow, January 8, and will hot less than four mi tt be epochal and speculation is uppetmost in _ the minds of the people as to.its attitude towers | licies of the president. While hi s will not be granted with the readiness evinced at the last session, he will get nearly everything he wants as he is still popular with the masses, and con- gress is assembled not to hear its master's voice but also te do its master’s bidding. ’ Congress, with its ear to the ground, will . find that the people will brook little inte?- ference with the policies of their popular leader. Only experience will tell us how the Federal bank insurance\whith:has gone in- to effect will affect the banks themselves and the general credit situation. For the first six months this insurance covers de- posits not exceeding: ¢we: thousind!’ five hundred dollars, but after July, 1 the larg- er deposits will be insured. Walter Cum- mings, president of the Insurance Deposit corporation, says that 97 percent of the na- tion’s bank deposits will be guaranteed, commencing this week. There are many arguments, for and against this innovation, and bankers are divided in their attitude, - but with .public -confidence completely shaken in the present banking system, there was no alternative. If it doesn't work, what else is there to be done to win ’ back the faith of depositors? And did they snap it up? They did not. So difficult, was the distribution that several pleas from the local CWA authori- ties, emblazoned upon the well-read Page One of the Palatka Daily News, failed to develop a queue in front of the distribution depot. Even as late as yesterday, with the meat on hand for nearly a week, some 4,000 pounds remained to be called for. We must infer that’the beneficiaries now demand their pork delivered or that they are tired of it. Or else they are too independent of spirit to accept it sinee they have been provided with employment, The latter is no doubt the correct an- swer. It was work that-the jobless want- ed all along, not charity.’ Now that they have employment they are willing for the embattled farmers to keep their sows and | shoats, even if the agrarians must go hun- gry themselves'in erder'to: feed them. t It is likely that congréss ‘May Jook into this matter of duplication.of generosity, So long as the CWA functions on its present scale the government had just as well keep the rest of its money and spend it to pro- vide work for those who prefer work to pork. AID FOR CRIPPLES Among the many humanitarian activi- ties which engage the support of benevo- lent societies and individuals, the restoring of crippled children to health*and happi- ness is one of the most commendable. The work of modern surgeons in this connection is effective almost: beyond be- lief. At a recent convention of the Inter- national Society for Crippled Children it was stated that “modern seiénce has heal- ed all manner of diseases and we-are-hap- py to say today that practically every type of malformation, if taken in early child- hood, can be cured.” Among the organizations which have given special attention .to crippled qhil- dren, the Shriners have been “particularly active, each member of the order contri- buting regularly to the maintenance of homes for these unfortunate’ littlé*. ones, who would otherwise go through life with deformed bodies and limbs. Other so- cieties are doing a similar service. The hearty encouragement and sup- port of this labor of love should be extend- ed by every person who, is, in a position to lend a hand. FLORIDA BOUND .

It is part of the change which is the only enduring thing in life. In the larger cities the street.car bus- iness is alive. In some places it is flourishing. But not in the smaller cities. It has had to yield jits place to the private automo- bile, to the motor bus, or the cheap taxicab. “The final expression of appre-, ciation by the Traction Company to its loyal employes was a fins and generous gesture. It was pos- sible only because the Fort Smith Traction company was part of a great utility system. If it had been owned by a single small in- dividual company, such a_ thing. could not have happened. In fact, operation for the last three or four years would have been im- possible, for it is common inow| ledge that the company has not earned enough to pay its out-of} pocket operating costs since the depression began. The Fort Smith Traction company is owned by the Standard Gas and Electric Company. The fact that was a part of a great utility system made possible continued operation in asin years, payment of the set- tlement of the city for repairing the streets, and this final token of appreciation of its employes. “In these days when adverse|] criticism of utilities has become almost fashionable, we may derive some cheer from the knowledge that many minds still open to appreciation of sincere efforts to {deal fairly and humanly with ev- eryone.” USE OUR PUREICE for HEALTH.
