I just; wanted to do my own checkin’; and see for myself just what} changes, if any, had taken place} in Claude since he went to Wash- lington. You know for a rookie senator, ; the boy has certainly been gettin’} a lot of attention. They've taken him right ithe fold and treated him like ‘an old timer. Aecordin’ to most reports about all they've done since he arrived up there is! keep sappin’ him on the back and; tellin’ him how good he is, and! that kind of medicine, while it is; pleasant to take, is poison to al guy who gets an over-dose, { Well, after studyin’ Claude at a distance on several occasions} and finally gettin’ him in a corner ! by himself for an hour’s chat, I: satisfied myself that so far he} hasn’t let the old baloney and| benana oil get under his skin. Of; course, like most anybody else, he enjoys being massaged with it, and while he’s content to let the other folks kid him he’s not wastin’ any time kiddin’ HIM- SELF. = If anything, he has improved as an orator. He’s added a lot of two-dollar words to his vocabu- lary, but at the same time when; he’s talkin’ to the folks in the country he still knows when to say “ain’t” and “how come,” He seems to take his job serious- ly and realizes he’s got a lot to learn and is downright anxious to learn it, In the brief time, he has been in Washington he certainly! has filled his post i a creditable manner, and Florida generally has benefited through his efforts. His loyalty to Roosevelt and support of administration meas-} ‘ures have made him some ene- mies, particulary among indus- trial leaders bitterly opposed to the wage and hours bill, in spite of the fact that it was his influ-; ence gn the committee that) brought about the removal of many! of the most objectionable fea- tures. Those who hope to use his loyalty to Roosevelt and the ad-| ministration as ammunition with| which to defeat him for reelec- tion are allownig their persona!! animosty to blind them to the} fact that, as much as they would have it otherwise, the President is still TOPS with the bulk of the American people and Floridians; are no exception.

You and Your Nation's Affairs. Wages in America Since 1791 By J. E. LeROSSIGNOL Dean, College of Business Administration, . University of Nebraska “Would you like to see some index numbers, Sandie?” queried Professor MacAndrew Cantlie, as he displayed a long list of figures and a graph— dry bones, which the clever Scottie regarded in silence. “Believe me, Sandie, these figures are most significant and meaty — predi- gested mental pabulum pre- ared by my riend Rufus Tucker to show whether or no we h:ve pros- pered since the days ofour great-grandfathers. Look! He starts with a basic index number of 10C rep- resenting relative mceney wages and real wages in the year 1913 as com- pared with tose of ecrlier and later years—in fact, from 1791 to 1932, “Real wages, as you know, are the purchasing power of money wages. ‘What good does it do us to have our ‘wages raised if our cost of living— food, clothing, shelter, rent and what not—goes up as much or more? And what harm does it do us if our mon« ‘wages go down by 10 percent while our cost of living goes down by 20 percent? Unless we ar: deep in debt. For my part, I prefer my money wages to go up and my cost o- living to go down, but it’s hard to arrange that. Even the Brookings Institution has not yet shown us how to do it. “But consider these figures, Sandie, and imagine yourself an unskilled laborer getting $2.25 a day in our year of prosperity 1929. Now, according to Dr. Tucker, if you had been living and working in the year 1791, you would have received a daily wage of 15 cents, without board. Looks small, does it not? But when I tell you that you covld have got your food—pork and beans and ham and eggs, possibly, | for 20 cents a day or $5.00 a month, or less, you will feel better about it. And yet, considering your low money ‘wages, you might have had to live on corn pone and hominy. Anyway, you would not have grown fat on 15 cents a day. “Allowing for the low cost of liv- ing in those days, Dr. Tucker figures that your money wages of 15 cents were equivalent to real wages of 31 cents as compared with 100 cents in 1913, and that your money wages of $2.25 in 1929 were equivalent to $1.32 on the same basis, You understand, Sandie, that these figures show rela- tive real wages or the buying power CHURCH PROGRAM HERE TONIGHT ! | The Brotherhood of the Baptist church will conduct a pro- o’clock for the W.

That is to ! say, your real wages, if you had lived | and worked from 1791 to 1929, would { have increased in the ratio of 31 to | 132, or more than fourfold. “Not only so, but if you had been one of the employed in the year of deep depression, 1932, your real wages would have been represented by an index number of 133, gs compared with 100 in $983) A E Strange that) Wagesan - 7 should have‘improved so mi " though theneswassnespew dealing. those years. ’ “It is fine, Sandie, to thinkyof.our ; glorious past, when any strong man with an axe, a few traps and fish- hooks, a wife, and a dog, could héew | him a home in the wilderness, live on fish and game and berries, and sell his furs and potash in the nearest market, 50 to 500 miles away. Then there was a frontier, as our historians say, to which our noble ancestors { could repair when wages went below 15 to 20 cents a day, so that American { wages were always kept above their level in the British Isles or Continen- tal Europe. I wonder what they were in Scotland when our people came over. I hate to think of it, Sandie McGraw.” (Address questions to the author care of this newspaper) TOOTHPICK TOPICS By C. G.

At Harvard, of which college it might be said “as Harvard thinks so goes the nation”, Hale’s Socra:; itesian aspect. won respect, and his! fluency, admiration. There was 4 lhush when he intoned the moving story of, “The Man Without a Country,” to the English cass. Hig brotherliness towards color- ed races is proverbial and is best shown in this incident, when he went with a prominent group to meet a celebrity at the depot. Scarcely had the train docked when Dr. Hale darted to a day-|,, coach and proceeded to help an encumbered negro with his bags. Boston loved it! Hampstead, N.
