Vours La>t week I expressed the hope that at the elections of 1932 more of the voters of America would go to the pells. Nearly half of those eligible to vote in 1928*jlid not do so. Now 1 learn that the Uuited States Junior Chamber of Commerce has taken this up in a serious way and is starting a campaign now to try to get at least fifty million votes out on November 8th next.- That is a live organization of young business men and I think they will get wnrewhore. It looks as if we might have an interesting and exciting Presidential campaingn after alt Unemployment 1 . Two hundred and fifty thousand moii ? a quarter of a million ? have been put back to work in a month since the American Legion began its drive against unemployment. That is a log help, but there are still prob ably four or five million men nor mally emp'oyed who .have no work to do now. There ft re hUndWGWJ of communi ties. whole counties, in fact, in which there is no unemployment. But there are thousands in whteh unemployment has gong on so long that actual suf fering is beginning. . Governors of thirty states reported last week to Washington that there was no actual starvation in their states, bul ther? must be many families perilously elm to it. When this depression is over and; v c are roiing along on the wave oi the next boom, will we do. anything to prevent a recurrence of this sort of distress? If past 1 istory is any piide, I'm afraid not Education When I whs a boy getting oh toward a college age people did not think of a college education as a dir. -ct help to earning r living. Yonng men went to college be aufce they had a thirst for education r -id culture for their own sakee. Tn the P!?st thirty yeers or so their has grown up a theory of ccllego education based upoi the better earning power of the eo'lege grad uate. Thflt has led 4p an entire change in the cnrriulem and the point of view of the < olleges. It" no longer sets a man apart from his follows t'O He known ns a college grad uate Any smart boy can get a degree of some sort or oth r. ,ind he doesn't have to be so smart, a^ that. Of rtal education, in the old mltupal sense, there is little to be ob'ajned in most of the colleges. 1 agree with Dr. lTa vey N. Dpvip pvt.idont of Otevens Institute of Mrs. J. N.

V ) V ' BtEVElTUE BILL IS NOT YET SETTLED BY CONGRESSMEN (Special to Tfc(. Journal) Washington, D. C., March 30.? Th? effort to "balance the budget" that is, to increase' the nation's in come and cut down its expenditure urtiJ they are approximately eqnfl ? ; has resulted in some strange proposals and in what promise.? to be a serious i-piii in bofh party groups in (. :v- \ gress. 7 ' ? I Ore point on which everybody ia agr.ied in that the budget" must be j balanced. .How to do it is the point | on which disagreements exist. The government must raise more jtnonry by taxes. But how? The sales tax seem?d to be all agreed upon when a bunch of Democrats announc er that (hey wouldn't play if the aalea tax w<?re kept in the revenue bill, and a lot of Republicans fol lowed suit. This being a Presidential year, politicians whoso popularity ia to coir*, to tho test next November pre fer Mir.e kind of taxes which the ordinarv man can't see. The sales tax ? . is too obvious. They'd like to find ?oe way to take money from the rich and nothing from the poor. There are some man in Congress who still b'tiievo that can bo done, that there; is some kind of taxation which i3 not paid by the ultimate consumer. There are more men in Congress who. don't beliove anything of the kind, hut who pretend to believe it because they think it will "make votes". So we may have the sales tax, and we rr.ay have income taxes so high for people with incomes above #10, 000 v year that it will remind them cf war times or We may have neither of these. One thing, however, wfl can be sure of ? the Federal taxes Wh oh will be on the law books when this Congress adjoudrs will be the highest wo have ever had except in jtime war. | Tho sane applies to tho proposal* tp fift down Oovprni'j nt expenses. Xohbdy can predict as yet wlierr the cuts will be made, but it is in the cards that all Federal salaries abotae $2,500 a year w 11 be reduced; 25, 'per cent reductions for those get tiar $10,000 a year or more, lesser jxTcentapos for the lower-priced "hflp." This will affect half a mil lioo men and women on Uncle Sam's payroll. Most of them are great ly underpaid now. They work here in Washington at km pay for the sake of security, for the sake of being ! able* to send their children to col lege. to avjid .worrying about the fu ture. Washington is the cheapest large city in tho world to live in, | bccnuse everything has to be geared to tho low wages paid by the Gov ernment. A good many people, in and out of Cangr.'ss, are asking why the Government doesn't borrow money enough to pay up it* deficits and on?A worrying in thr ?-? hard Mme< iibont paving off the n-tional debt. The ensrernesR with wh'ch recent Government note and bend issues ha,-e been taken up ' v investors seems to prove that the publie ia willing to lend its funds to Uncle i Sam even if unwillinf to invest at thiR time in much of anything else. Now that Mr. Mellon has gone to be an Ambassador, p?~ole are sny intr that he was too mi1rth of a banker niM1 not enough of a statesman. Hankers believe in paving debts. StPtcsmen believe in never paying them, but in funding thnm and pay ing interest on them. We havcVen paving off our Libert" *oan*, Hth out getting back fnm Europe the proceeds of' those |o?"? which we lert abroad, It would not bo sur prising if a plan to ston taking up thflM bonds, but mere'v to continue interest payments, wo?H be serious ly bronchi. That wo"'d cut down our annnal Gbvernmen* expenditures materially. HOSPITAL OETS DtTfCf? MONEY k Th? C. J.
