[?uJT ******> l T?'P|n a) ' I TODAY and I tomorrow (By Frank Paxfcor ^nkMitgir) for gjurktrs Justice Butler of the Supreme Couit, in tho course of an argument on the Constitutionality of the Social Security Act the otihor day. took oc casion to remark from (he bench that be ha<l observed in the rural dirfrwtg of America that thene are always n lai^e number of able bodied men who cannot be induced to work. He might have included tho cities also. " Auyoi*) who has boen around much knows that a hii?h projtortion of the :olk who a.ne now being supported at public expejuo on the ground thal they are unemployed are peoplo who iw-vei huvo worked when they could d<nlge a job. They ni.-unged to "get by'* before WPA and *he rest of the relief agencies began to haud them Money for not workiug. I do not expect to see the day when relief, cither direct or "work relief.'* uill be limited to those who really need it. Too strong j>olilical pressure st the command of those who profit by indiscriminate publil alms-giving. POVBETY . . . and history Whenever I hoar someone croaking ?!?t t in the'United States the rich are getliug richer and tho poor are get ting poorer, I go back and read history again. For the fact is that for the 150 years of our history, lot only the rich but the poor have ^ben getting richor. may be lnie enough that a th'vd of our people live below what we iiow regard as the *' American i Standard of living," but 150 years aifo tho vast majority of Americans i-vtd uii>der conditions which most of p.s would ret'fd aj intolerable today.' The romantic liovelists are largely, responsible foi the impression that in; colonial day* everybody live,t in rath er magnificent comfort, In beautiful i.mrions. I'be tnith is that not one family tu u hundred hnd anything we would call a comfortable home. Most of our ancestors lived in log cabins slab-sided sharks. The men and | ttoir v?.f?. iiir :attled the prairies began 1 V?*ui st>d howes. *** t (hii* national history is the story of it t rite of a people from dire proverty to the w id' it end largest distribution of wealth Jie world has eve: known. And we're still on the way up. COURAGE . . . pioneers had it As I go back over the records of omi country's {growth, what impresses ni" moat is tho courage ot those Whc 1''n ally took their lives in their own hit-ds to make a place for themselves i:i a strai.ge, raw country. They had th?l ?juality of courage implied in a.i -.neie.it phrase I often heard in my NV>w England boylioo.l. It was said of one Who essaved a tusk w*th which he was unfamiliar thi.t ho would ''either mak*j a -poon or spoil a horn." 1.very person who came to America in our early days had to have the courage to tackle the unfamiliar, and free (the hazards of the unknown. Th?y not on! v had to I?=am a new way , of life?t'hoy had to invent it If they. f illed, they di-,d. Tboy knew that. That is a sort of courago which, I sometimes tliii:k, we arc in danger of losing. | Men who took such chaueei i rambling their livej against heavy1 odds. The American ' willingi.(ess to take a chaw. ieriveo from that spirit Wo have go*- where we arc because, as a people, w j have not shopped to cal cn!i.te the odds against, u.f. LAWLESSNESS . ? too common Out of my reading of history and sixty-odd y? irs of sun eying the Amer ican scene, I have come to the con clusion that we are probablv the most lawless peop'e it* tflie workl. On the whole, I do not worry muoh about our .national habit of calm disregard | of lews whieh run contrary to our habits, customs and beliefs as to what ! is right and what is wiong. It is an j other way of saying that we are still individualists. We have more laws on our statute books than any other people in the ! v,0rld. Most of thetni arc puie suaplus *4tge They ??^present the ideas of pco 1 idr who think fhlt refbhn^n be ac complished by pass:?gJap "It can't .'be done. It, i.)Rver haq been done and nevci will b?. j The only lav s w'hieh are any good j re those which reflect a pn-ponjdering public sentiment Law;; wh:ch seek to c ha: ge established customs, or to . make crimes out of acts which almost ) evoj ybody regards as harmless, ar* bal laws.
