America is a land that prides itself’ on its high standard
of living. And it is not a false pride, for Americans have more
comforts and conveniences than any other people — all because America has pioneered in the development of these
modern things through industrial expansion. With that expansion millions of jobs were created so those millions could
buy the things they produced.
Now, however, America finds itself alarmingly going
backward instead of forward toward an even higher standard
of living.
Consider the hundreds “ ways in which the . 30,000,000
people of our country earn or receive their living. Broken
down into classifications, we find now that relief—at the expense .of the taxpayer and the public purse — ranks fourth.
That means that more people are now being supported on relief rolls than by such other industries as mining, public utilities, transportation and construction. Only iiahudacturine,
farming and the service trades rank above relief.
advanced materially during the past five-year era of government pump-priming and indiscriminate ‘ “emergency” spend-.
ing.
Since 1933 the staggering total of more than $16,000.-.
000,000 has been poured into the relief channels. By July i,'!
1939, according to current government spending estimates, .
the total will mount to at least $20,000,000,000.
Some people say Federal spending is a political exnedtent. Perhaps it is, but we wonder if, in the long run, industrial America and its high living standards can survive if relief finally becomes the first ranking business of the country?

spiny cactus? It’s simple and inexpensive. Just come out in our cactus
garden and weed for awhile. There
is nothing dull about becoming a
cactus through this method. Weeding the catus garden is always full
of little surprises. caused by the fascinating habit of cacti parts dropping

This week’s laugh: This. story is
. around quite fast, and many claims
are made for its authenticity. True
or untrue it is, in our humble estimation, a dilly. Lawrence Cramer,
youthful and unimpressive looking
governor of the Virgin Islands, called upon the Secretary of the Interior. He gave this mame to the doorman merely as ‘“‘Cramer,” sat down
to wait. An hour passed, an hour
and a half, two hours, The young
governor concluded he had not made
. his name and position clear, so he ap. proached the doorman and explained
}he was the governor of the Virgin
. Isl ands. Terribly flustered the man
. picked up his desk phone and called
. the secretary. “Mr. Secretary,’’ he
said, ‘‘there is a virgin ‘there from
Governors Island.’’

of the unrest and business dirturbance the past year has been
labor movements. For this contingent Governor Merriam .
plainly showed by his remarks he has no patience. For the}
rank and file of labor, good living conditions and high wages
Frank F. Merriam has always manifested a most sympathetic
attitude.
Governor Merriam continued to affirm his intention, if .
elected, to keep state expenses down and balance the budget.
His ability to do this is not questioned. . Governor Merriam .
went into office facing a $35,000,000 deficit and this he has,
by good business administration, practically wiped out.*What
Governor Merriam said, in his pledge four years ago, is a criterion of what he can be expected to do, if he is returned to the
‘governorship.
To his everlasting credit it can be said of Governor Merriam—While he was trying his best to overcome the financial
‘disaster that came as his heritage from the Rolph administration—he never for one instant cut corners in dealing with the
poor and the aged. Governor Merriam has seen to it social security in California meant what its name implied. He has insisted distress should not be overlooked, even when the state’s
finances were in the most. straitened condition. '
During the four years Governor Merriam has been in the
‘executive office no issues have been side-stepped. Little poli-’
tics has been played. He has stood for real Americanism; he
has insisted on straight business efficiency in all state affairs
and he has seen the fullest relief for the aged and afflicted has,
at all times, been forthcoming.
