pian (od _kind of mark that a dollar JUNE MINING DEVELOPMEN ISSU Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. Again the New Deal, crippled, but not below the knees, is asking the tax payers of this country to lend it six billion dollars to spend in diverse political and, maybe economical ways to relieve national unemployment. No pencil peddler with his legs amputated at the hip bones, is our Uncle Samuel wearing the livery of a professional mendicamt. For the pencil peddler does give something for ‘the money he collects in his delapidated felt hat. His pencils, at least, make a mark, but these taxpayers’ donations make the same tossed down a well makes. The appeal of the New Deal is for six ‘billions to end the depression. This is the same appeal for same reasons as in 1933, when five billions and odd millions was spent in pump priming to end depressions for all time, ‘much as the “war to end wars” was fought in Wilson’s time. We spend, but we do not learn. In 1934 it was the same story again when ‘five billion and two hundred and seventy million was ‘voted to prime the pump and end the depression. Again’ in 1935 five billion and six. hundred million ‘was sown to the winds and the fireside chats, so to speak, and though unemployment began to wane a little the basic cause, the abuse and maiming of big and little business remained. In 1936 Franklin Roosevelt again extended the suppliant palm to the taxpayers and five billion and nearly nine hundred billion was voted to tamp down ‘the rat hole. The same logic was reiterated in 1937 when six billions and some odd mi‘llions was donated by the generous taxpayers to cure the unemployment situation and this time there was an upward lift. In fact it was only a year ago that the President chanted hymns of victory and in New York, on one occasion, heralded ‘the triumph “OF a planned economy; declaring that prosperity “did not just ‘happen,”’ but that ‘‘we planned it that way.’’ He and_ the young brain trusters, however, could not let well:*enough alone, ‘but continued like bulls in a: china shop on their reform rampage, attempting 'to stuff the United States Supreme Court, not with one Hugo Black but with a half dozen assorted puppets, and this very’ effectively chilled the prosperity pulse. It looked for a time as if this Republic might have a one-man government, call it whatever seems most euphoneous, dictator or grand sachem. Along with ithe drive for control of the supreme court went continued abuse and cracking down on the nation’s business interests, which provide most of the employment in this country. The boom of which the New Deal had boasted too soon, never got: beyond the pap-bottle stage. It wilted and its wizened little body was tenderly and reluctantly laid away. Now in 1938 we are about to make another try at spending ourselves rich by pouring another six billion down various WPA. wells and into various burrows of politieal rodents. The onty thing we can thank God for is the forbearance of the Naw Deal] in an election year, And in the meantime.. Down in Marysville the other day an insurance agent had occasion to drive down near ‘the Federal relief warehouse. He saw long ques of men, women and children waiting for the warehouse to open at 9 a m. When the doors were flung open and a Small army of relief clerks got busy, they piled the arms of this waiting multitude high with groceries, vegetables, and canned goods and they staggered away to unload them into better m@tor cars, in most cases, than the insurance agent himself was driving. And over in Oroville a Negro appeared witha half dozen pickanninies, and at the warehouse they were generously loaded up with all manner of. provisions. It developed that this Negro had no offspring, but the large retinue of children had been borrowed of another Negro family, probably for a small honorium in the way of food dividends. There are plenty of people ail over this ‘broad land who no longer trouble to look for work.

Relations has swung into action with an initiative measure strengthening the state’s authority and making specifically illegal, acts of coercion and intimidation, sitdown strikes, and interference with lawful use of streets, highways, docks and wharves. proposed measure would regulate ; picketing; would eliminate the ‘‘hot cargo’ practice; would permit emPployees voluntarily ‘to organize associations of their own. choosing without coercion; and promote true collective bargainiing.
