SGWwN An investigating committee of Congress has pretty well discredited the Workers Alliance, which, as a union of WPA workers, has been the most active of’all groups pressuring for ‘More government spending. The investigators finally got admission from witnesses that many officials of the Alliance are members of the Communist Party. It was before this group that an administration official last fall asked that they ““keep your friends in power.” ; Of course exposure of this organization is interesting and needed for government relief. WPA officials have no means of making accurate checks of relief needs, nor has Congress. _In the past several years, therefore, it has been the Workers Alliance which has claimed to know more about the needs than anybody else. This has enabled them to demand any fan‘tastic amounts that spring to their minds, and nobody in the WPA has come forth to challenge the figures. ‘.

Benjamin Franklin, with sage courtsel and observa-tions, made the following declaration back in 1758. =» “It would be thought a hard government that should tax its People one tenth Part of their Time, to be employed in its Service.” Franklin diought that he was winking a more than liberal allowance for the necessary expenses of government. It is difficult to spéculate what he would think today if he could see _the burdens of Federal, State and local taxation constantly mounting, while spending increases even more rapidly. Today he would find taxation eating up 22 per cent of national income; which means, since national income is the measure of goods and services, that gvoernment today is taxing Ameri_€ans more than twice the amount of time that Franklin _ thought unreasonable.

Appearing before the Senate Committee on Education ‘Wasner Labor Relations Act, Congressman Clare E. Hoffman of Michigan said: = “The great body of American people are sick and tired of being told by a few representatives of a fractional part of _ those who work with their hands, what they are to do and what they must pay, in order to live and buy food and cloth‘ing and shelter.” Representing a celia of the country which two years ago saw some of the worst industrial turmoil which followed ressman could be expected to know considerable about the ct’s “contribution” to labor peace. He speaks from experience. And that experience has led him to urge amendment of the Act to eliminate what he describes as its ‘“‘unfairness,”’ ‘one-sidedness”” and “inequalities.” _ Further, if we turn to the record, we find os the latest s of public opinion show that a full 70% of the Nation is in of changing the Act.

I wonder why resolutions are so hard to keep. _‘ For instance, . had resolved not‘to mention electric lights, or any other mode of illumination this week, and here . am, babbling about them’already. till, I cannot be too greatly blamed; these little towns along the San Juan Ridge, our own included, came into existence during the very early fifties—one of them, French Corral, bears the magic date of forty-nine, and since their early and very small beginnings, candles and gerosene lamps have lighted the way. For months now, or ever since we were told that we were to have electric lights, friends and neighbors have been all agog with anticipation; and when last Friday, April 28, we touched a little kick-shaw placed conveniently upon the wall and flooded our rooms with light—please use your imagination; some experiences cannot be adequately told in words. Now the question seems to be, what shall we do with the discarded lamps which have served us so long and so faithfully; some one suggested throwing them upon a. sort of funeral pyre, smashed beyond hope of repair and then set afire to the lot, while jubilant citizens danced and sang about their last flickering flames of light. We shall not do that with ours; they are already sitting in state, safe-guarded by their grateful owners. We might pass them on to some benighted dweller in the Styx, where the convenience of modern civilization have not as yet put in an appearance, but one at least, we shall save for emergencies —for those occasional times when something puts out the bright shining of our electric lights and we find ourselves groping about in unwelcome darkness.
