C., under the act of Congress ot March 3, 1879._=————====== Friday, February 9, 1934 Senate Should Co Alter Him Thai was a weak point in McCracken’s defense when he said the tiles in his hands—he then being an Assistant Secretary of Commerce—contained private correspondence between himself and aviation com panics for which he was attorney. That is just the reason the Senate committee wants to see the correpondence—that it may know whether Mr. McCracken, an officer of the United States Gov ernment and at the same time attorney for a bunch of j grafters, was serving the government or the grafters. The Government lost a hundred million dollars in the operation of its mail service last year, while stock holders in air mail contract holders were making mil lions. Evidently McCracken has sold the people out for his clients. Now the Senate ought to go alter mm strong. Start in On the Steel Corporation Now is a good time to slice up the United States ; Steel Corporation so that the government and the peo- } pie can look in on them. For many years no man ; has been allowed to know anything about their meth ods of operation. When a survey was attempted 15 years ago they blocked it. Now, they dispute the right of the government to inquire about the relation of their laborers, as to pay and servitude, and since the corporation has grown so much bigger in their esti mation than all the other people. Suppose the government would slice them up a lit tle, and return to the proper owners the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, its property which they robbed them out of in 1907, and to the owners of other companies that they forced out of business in past years and gobbled them up at a much lower price than fair. ! President Roosevelt has had the nerve to tackle Mr. Morgan’s gold. We hope to see him go after his iron next. Duty of Every One To Help The President is hitting big licks every time he raises the axe. This time he has told the politicians to keep their mouths out of and their hands off of the relief works. In the "News Behind the News” on February 2 it was shown that some Congressmen and Senators have been sending orders back home to put certain friends on the payroll—a thing that should be frowned upon by all fair-minded people. The President is credited with saying to the Mate directors, "We want you to be absolutely hard-boiled if you know any person within your own state who is trying to get political advantage out of human needs, and you will have the backing of the Administration 1,000 per cent, even if you hit the biggest politician in the United States on the head in carrying out this general program.” No one can deny the difficulty of the enormous task which the government has had in carrying for ward an emergency program on such a large scale without facing many problems. Under circumstances of this kind, it is the duty of every person to lend all the aid possible to make the best of conditions. \et many people grab for all they can get, others never lend a hand to help and do nothing but criticize. It is the duty of every person to help all they can in emergencies of this kind. Seed Loan Practically Assured The seed loan fund is now practically assured tor | this year, since it has passed the senate and will soon pass the house, it is thought. So far the government has dune no greater work for the aid of the needy than through the seed loans made in previous years. These loans have helped thousands of take care of themselves, when they would have become "drifters” without this help. It is thought that the loans will be made on an even more conservative basis this year than at any previous time. Formerly practically anybody was counted worthy of a loan. In the future it is thought that borrowers will have to stand a more rigid inquiry as to their ability to produce and their willingness to pay their obligations. The loans will also be made only for the purposes designated in the b:ll— that is for seed, fertilizer, and feed, and not for any other purposes. A lot of those people who are clinging to the CVV’A ought to go to the seed loan authorities and try to launch out to make something to feed and clothe themselves and their families. War Talk in the East There is considerable war talk in the Far East. While war may be doubtful, there is scarcely any doubt about the fact that Japan has had her eyes on eastern Russia and her outlet to the sea on the east. Her purpose evidently was to pinch Russia and then steal a piece of territory in the same manner as she did in China recently, and gradually slice off a piece j just to suit herself. Japan liked the idea of the war sick nations of the earth talking peace, while she played war over on the other side of the world. But while she was tilling her lockers and grinding her knives preparatory to slaughtering Russians, be hold, the United States recognized Russia and now we are friends. We know, too, that Japan had rather own California than to own half of Russia. For that reason Russia and the Cnited States will very likely be partners in any Japanese war that may come for many years. War in the near future depends largely on the Japanese guess as to their power. If they feel stout enough to carry their points, either by bombs or bluff, ; we may have war; on the other hand, if the foe seems to be too big for her, Japan will probably draw in ! her horns. No country in Europe is likely to go into war un less she is forced into it. They are too sick from past wars to launch out on another at this time. Make Him Keep His Promise When Postmaster General Farley was cavorting around the country last fall for purposes in a large measure out of line and about and for matters that were no business of his, he thought nothing of com mandeering a government airplane or perhaps a friendly friends airplane and hopping off to Maine or Texas. The tables were turned on him this week, when the Senate committee began to question him. He began to cry, “I won't do it again,” which is the exact lan guage of all naughty boys when they get caught up with. the former 1’ostmaster General had to Buy a dig new automobile with an especially high top on it to accommodate his big silk hat. Now, our own Mr. Farley has to be called down for his high riding. It | may be a case of two bad eggs. So make him keep his promise to be good in the future. The President's Greatest Step President Roosevelt’s taking four billion dollars in gold from the bankers—a thing which should have been done long ago—and converting it into seven and a quarter billions was the greatest game the President has played since he started on his trip to the White House. It is so funny to see the ‘‘old big boys” milling around without a word to say, or a thing to do about it, that the world is laughing right out in school. And the balance of us are enjoying ourselves because we are getting so much more to eat and wear and can pay our taxes, interest, and mortgages with so much less corn, cotton, peanuts, wheat, and tobacco, that we just cannot help laughing right in the face of Mr. Morgan, Mr. Mellon, and Mr. Mills. Oh, yes; big boys, we feel so much safer in Presi dent Roosevelt's hand than we did in yours, why, we have gotten so we can breathe easy. We find our souls are our own, and we do not have to sprinkle a few drops of our heart's blood to glorify and enrich a bunch of shylocks every time we take a step. Go on, Mr. Roosevelt, you are doing a splendid job. Safety Schools Needed Governor Ehringhaus is to be commended for his attempt to reduce the number of automobile trage dies, which are coming to be so numerous. With the terrific speed of 60 to 75 miles an hour, which thousands of drivers are making every day, the wonder is that we do not have even more accidents than we do. Yet, half of the accidents are said to be unavoid able, and this is where we need teaching. The man, woman, or child who knows that a high speed auto mobile is coming at any minute needs to use exactly the same caution in looking both ways to prevent be- j ing killed that the driver should in keeping a look-out on both sides of the road to keep from killing some one. The idea of the pedestrian or the driver assuming t hat the way is clear causes many of the road trag- j Property Owners Probably Kicking Sales Tax Less fierijord County Herald. We have made no recent survey of the situation, but from our seat in the editorial sanctum, we can sense a lesser feeling of rank opposition to a general sales tax than that which prevailed so violently in some places about one year and even up to recent weeks and months. Why? Simply and solely be cause a certain proportion of property owners have already settled for the 1933 levy and invariably they found the total sum assessed against them to be much less than it was before our legislature enacted the sales tax law. We predicted it would be so several months ago; and we are willing to stand by that opinion without a check up. In fact, already have we heard some com mendatory remarks about our sales tax from sources that were hostile and inimical a few months ago. The reason: The tax collector touched them for less than usual this year, and it was wholly and solely be cause of the sales tax. Sales taxes, particularly in border counties, will never be popular: but what form of taxation was ever popular? The answer to that question is plain, inevitable, and always: None.
