Policies Of
President
I Get Support
i > 1 **.
(.Special to Tlie Journal)
Washington, D. Jan. 27.? One
I of the most interesting turns gossip is
| taking these days is as to how strong
jly President Hoover's ]K>lieies arc
i being adopted by Congress, hostile
j though the Lower House seems to bfi
I oil account of its Democratic major
ity, which is, large enough now to
I be extremely effective, although not
| powerful enough to override a Pres
idential veto.
I * '
! Up to now there lias been a Jot of
italk by Congressmen who have been
I attempting to seize the reins of Gov
ernment. They have not hesitated to
I challenge the motives of men placed
in the highest positions but, so far,
they have , been unable to produce
anything to warrant the removal
from otfice of any of the men at
tacked* They appear to be taking out
their auimus in conversation, mean
while falling in behind the President,
and enacting many of the measures
favored by him into law.C
) > \
P^rhapis the most important action
takfix by Congress so far has been the
passage of (he two billion dollar rc
eoi;.?t ruction finance coloration
measure, designed to absorb frozen
^cniritiey .how in the hands of in
surance companies, \ banking institu
tions, building and loan securities,
railroad:. and agriculture, this bill
is the pet project of th:> President
and is expected to make immediately j
available not only the amount sj>e<i ;
fied in the bill, but an equal or
grer.ter amount "of money that will
be freed by the rodta^tion in the fi
nancial tension.
Til'.* Democratic bloc warmly sup-j
ported the measure, in spite of the i
fact that a lot of cledit for its pass
age will naturaljjy go to Mr. Hoover
tor his spons%rship of the bill. The J
President 'ha* plainly 8(ate<f' that he j
vft! hof ixSc the % l>ill for political'
capital in" the impending Presidential j
campaign, admitting that its passage '
is due to heavy support from the op
posing party.
He is also taking advantage of the
compliance of the Democrats in urg
ing his ether main projects, most of
whicbu are designed ^ > reduce Gov
ernment expenses. Afp. business man
h? has long opposed present setup j
of the Government':) various bureaus:
and will attempt to consolidate all
bureaus that are overlapping.
It is likely that both the President
and Congress will have a big fight on
their haifts from nearly all govern
inenta] bureaus in their attempts toj
consolidate (hem and cut ml tape.
Mr; Hoover appreciates this fact, as
ho declared in his mesagsc to Con
gress that he did not expect tho men
who would be lopped off tin; Federal
payroll to take it without protest,
in any event, attempts to lop unnec-j
essary employees off the payroll will j
ho made this spring. The light par-|
allels one in which President Cleve-j
land forced by the Civil Service Bill, '
taking many of the bureaus out of
politics for the first time. His
battle with the entrenched employees
iy still remembered keenly by all
older students of practical ]>ohtics.
While there is no question that the
iicmocratic Tarty is even now jubi
lant over its prospects for success in
the coming campaign, the old Re
publican warhorses are not turning 1
a hair. I nsfceaU, they have revived an
old maxim which says thnt the "Dem
ocrats always win in September."
In the last . sixteen Presidential
campaigns the Democrats have wou
?exactly four time#, Cleveland and
Wilson each winning twice. Jn prac
tically nil of the other twelve cam
paigns, the Democrats appeared to
have victory sewn up three months
before the ballots were cast. On the
question of candidates the Democrats
arc still in a bad position. Sentiment
has fuiled so far o coalesce around
any particular man, a fact that is of
immense value to Mr. Hoover, who
cannot be (teemed to have even a
rivai for the Republican nomination.
One prediction being made is that
the coming election will see a total
of at least fifty million votes cast
and that the winner will go in with a
tremendous vote. In 1928 there were
36,000,000 votes cast, about half iof
the estimated "number of legal voters
who are qualified to vote for Pres
ident.
Democrats
Start Drive
For Victory
? i
i The Democratic Victory Drive, for
funds with which to pay up the de
ficit in the treasury of the National
Democratic Executive Committee, aud
to provide money with which to op
orate, lias been initiated in Jackson
County, with ETD. Hooper, of East
La porte, as county chairman.
The plan in this county is to ask
for contributions of 1.00 each from
the interested Democrats of the
county; " ' .
The township ch?irmefi of the
drive a& appofntod by Mr. Hooper
are: Cashier's Valley, T. A. Dillard,
Hamburg. H. C. Moss; Mountain,

Similar campaigns are being wag
ed throughout the United States,
and it is believed that with small
con ri buttons from the rank and file
of the Democratic party, that the de
ficit can be wiped out, and the party
gw to the National Convention in
Chicago, out of debt, and in fight
ing hunikor, ready and able to wage
an aggressive campaign to carry the

TODAY and
TOMORROW
(By Frank Parker Stockbridge)
| Coolidge
I I beard Ibe latest Calvin Coolidge
anecdote the other night from a gen
tleman who had recently visited the
ex-president at Northampton.
"Everywhere I go I find an over
whelming desire to have you back in
the White House, Mr. Coolidge," my
informant said to him. "You really
ought to run for President again."
Mr. Coolidge shook his head, with
a faint smile.
"Xo," he said, "It won't do. The
basis of that idea is all wrong. They
all want k get rich again." .
Which confirms mv long held be
lief that Calvin Coolidge has about
as sound common sense and> as keen
an understanding of popular psychol
ogy as any living American.
Hoover
I think there has been a noticcablc
change in the .public attitude toward
Mr. Hoovei m the past month. At
least, I hear less abuse of the Pres
ident and more expressions of sym
pathy. People? arc realizing that he
has been unfairly blamed for condi
tions for whieh he was not respons
ible, and now that he has presented
a sound snd complete rehabilitation
program to Congress, and Congress,
has started off by accepting it, I
.hear less talk about his suppospd in
action in the face of a serious crisis.
I have not seen the President for
several months, hut friends who have I
talked with him lately ?av that he
acts tuid talks like a man who had
found: the answers to problems that
?ad been baffling him.
Washing tun's favorite indoor sport
is lying about the President, who
ever the President may happen to be.
Mr. Hoover has suffered from more
than his share of misrepresentation,
but he has acquired the philosophical
attitude of most of his predecessors,
whe learned'' not to let pin pricks
worry them.
Unemployment
. The town oL Poak^kill,
as a pert of its plan to raise lands
for the relief of the unemployed, put
tin boxes at every eating place in
town and asked everybody to drop!
one cent in the box before each meal.
The surprising result is a fund which
runs to $1,500 a week.
More important than raising money
for the unemployed, it seems to rnc,
is making sure that this money does
not go to i>eople who could get jobs, !
but who will not take them. The other
night in a hotel elevator I heard two
men talking.
"Thero were forty-two jobs at $6 a
day," said one of them. "The unem
ployment bureau sent us fifty men
and thirty- six of them refused to
work because they would get their
hands <lirty." They said they could
get money from the unemployment
fund to live on and they would rath
er do that than do "dirty'' work.
There is no doubt in ray mind that,
in the cities at least, a large part of
the money which kind-hearted peo
pLo have contributed to help the un
employed is heitig spent to keep in j
idleness nien who could easily find
work if they w>ere not what Down
Easters coll "choosy."
Doctors
Doctors, like everybody else, are
not finding it easy to meet their ob
ligations or collect thefr bills these
days. Too many people think that the
doctor can wait until everybody else
has been paid.
The American Sfcdical Association
has been making a survey of doctors'
incomes and reports that it takes al
together aboul ten years in college
I ond hospital work and getting a prac
tice established before the average
doctor begins to earn enonph to live
on. The next ten years, or a large
part of it, his surplus has to go to
pay for the cost of his medical train
ing. Very few doctors get to the point
of independence in less than twenty
years after starting their medical
studies.
Even* doctor has to do, and does
do, a certain amount of charity work.
Those who can afford to pay have
less excuse for postponing their doc
tor?' bills than for deferring pay
men! of almost any other debts.
