MONOGRAPH To The Congress, Washington, D. C. Gentlemen: Bight years ago, there were 887,400 employes on the Government payroll. Today, there are 1,850,000 civilians on the payroll inside the United States— Heaven knows how many abroad. Why ie there such an overproduction of po- litical hangers-on, and should there be so many “deserving” Democrats to be awarded? THE ORACLE. “ADVERTISING OUR WEAKNESS” Testifying in support of the universal milit training plan, Owen J. Roberts, mer Supreme Court Justice, warns that other nations may develop the atomic bomb by 1948 or 1949. He does not accept the estimate of military leaders that it will take other nations ten or fifteen years to perfect the bomb. Mr. Roberts thinks that it is time for the United States to “put the flag up and give notice to the world that we are pre- pared.” Every month's delay, he insisted, “ie «a terribly dangerous thing.” Failure to pass the training program would consti- ture “advertising to the world our weak- he We do not know whether the former justige of the Supreme Court is correct in his te lusions, or not, but we certainly think that his words are entitled to care- ful consideration. What has the nation to lowe, if Mr. Robtrts is wrong? Nothing but overpreparedness, which will not injure the young men involved. What have we to lowe if he is right, and the Congress re- jects hie plea? Nothing but our freedom end the independence of our nation. Considering these alternatives, and the fearful possibility that there is some truth in what he fears, we are bound to support the recommendation of Justice rts and other citizens that this country sdiately adopt universal military train- NEW MORTALITY TABLE The life insurance companies of the nation will abandon their mortality tables on January Ist in most of the American states The mortality tables in use by insur- enee companies were set up in 1868. It does not refleet the increased expectancy of individuals. The new table, which is haved on the actual experience of policy- holders of all life insurance companies be- 1980 and 1940, takes cognizance of the fact that modern living and ade- quate medical care have added a few years to the life of expectancy of indi- viduals. wv example, under the old table, chil- dren one year of age had an expectancy tween NATIONAL LOTTERY » “Where can I purchase a ticket,” an whimsically when asked for his vote by the Elks Magaine on this question: “Would you approve a national lottery conducted by the government, the pro- ceeds to be used: for a worthy purpose?” - As was explained in The Citizen on Tuesday, 72 ‘per cent of the exalted rulers of Elks in the United States, who replied to the question, voted affirmatively. They represented, the magazine said, 1,000,000 members of the order. For a quarter of a century, The Citizen has been advocating a national lottery. Some persons, on the mention of “lottery,” throw up their hands in horror, yet, in the early days of the United States, hospitals, colleges and other institutions were con- structed by revenue received from con- ducting lotteries. Besides, roads were paved and the debts of several states were reduced or liquidated by lottery money. As a good many exalted rulers, in send- ing in their votes, stated. the profits from a national lottery could be used to help retire the public debt and to intensify the fight against cancer, polio, tuberculosis, juvenile delinquency, crippled children, slum clearance and other worthy purposes. “Tt’s gambling!” an objector may cry out. Of course, it’s gambling, but gambling goes on without the lottery and will con- tinue even though it were established. But it would be supervised gambling, and the profits would be used to promote the public good, whereas the profits now go to professional gamblers who are called “bankers.” Unquestionably, a national lot- tery would cut into the bankers’ profits and divert them to the promotion of wor- thy causes. Finally, the lottery would deerease the burden of taxation, which is well nigh crushing to millions of Americans. There are people with more money than they need and then there are those who play the bolita. Deep water is all right for people who can swim, but waders and puddlers should stay close to land. Many venture too far out and pay the penalty. . ee ene: FEAR NEW DUST BOWL High prices for wheat and cattle are leading many farmers in the Dust Bow] to fear that they will have a dusty, profitless era when the next drought cycle comes around. During World War I high wheat prices led to the planting of much marginal land. In addition, some pasture land was broken up for planting. When the dry years came; there was a plague of dust, which brought ruin to the farmers in the decade of the Thirties. a Reports from the Dust Bowl area are that farmers are repeating the same pro- cess. Land that is fertile in wet weather, is being planted in wheat, with “sod busting” underway on a large scale this year. Raw range land is being broken for wheat and Dust Bow! farmers are won- dering what will happen when the dry eycle arrives. Reports from the area indieate that some range land is being over-grazed, with the result that it will add to the like- lihood of dust storms when the weather is very dry. Some defense is irrigation and reports from the area tell us that some farmers are using underground wells to take eare of the drought period. We hope that the plan works successfully, on a large scale. It has worked very well with some farmers. It would be a bad thing for farmers in the Dust Bow! States to suffer again the disaster that hit them in 1982 in the form of dust storms. Many farmers failed to get enough wheat for the next year’s planting for almost ten years. Why worry about the national debt? It is only about four times as large as it | was when the leading financial experts said it would bankrupt the nation. of 48.94 years. This will be increased to 63.76 years. For those reaching twenty, the old table gave 42.20 years of expected living, but the new table gives these peo- ple 46.54 years. The new table will be the basis for eal- culating values and cost of life insurance. The Institute of Life Insuranee says that, the pattern will alter the cost of some pol- icies at some age levels but that the tota} cost to policy-helders will be about the same. pd 12:00—-Welcome Traveler 2:30—Bride and Groom Paul Whiteman Records (For East.
