Congress Again
Out of Washington; once again, come the, strains of
“Stormy Weather,” Packing their bags, so recently unpacked,
congressmen éan hardly be blamed if they take up the refrain and chant somewhat dolefully, “It’s rainin’ all the time
-. * It’s all work and no play these days. And there are problems to try the souls of men and angels.
The wage and hour bill, crop control legislation, the bit-etrly-contested Supreme Court issue, increased taxation, labor
‘and industrial proposals and determination of the nation’s
foreign policy, with half the world aflame with war—such are
some of the questionns which will confront Congress when it
reconvenes on November 15 in special session. Clashing opinions, angry debate and long, gruelling hours of legislative
can people are either divided or undecided.
But there is another problem confronting Congress which
every reasonable, intelligent American knows must be met
and solved if we are to avert a new economic catastrophe far
more serious than the last. That problem is our colossal indebtedness—our current policy of living on borrowed money.
We owe 37 billion dollars—a sum so great that many economists say no Congress will ever dare to levy sufficient taxes to
pay up and bail out.
Yet nations, like individuals, are accountable. One way
_ or another, we must pay. If we don’t pay in taxes, we shail
‘pay, within a few years, by the ruinous system of inflation—
by suddenly finding our life insurance worth half what we
paid for it; our dollars worth 50 cents at the corner store. In
Germany, when inflation hit full stride. it took a wheelbarrow
ful! of marks to buy a loaf of bread.
Certainly there are enough intelligent men in Washing_ ton to prevent that sort of disaster in America. But we cannot
prevent it until we stop living, as a nation, far beyond our
income. In California, we have started to back-track a bit. A
legislative proposal to break down the requirement of a twothirds vote for revenue bonds— and make it easier to get into
debt—has been held up on referendum and will undoubtedly
be beaten at next year’s election. But now it’s time for Congress to act. Let’s balance that budget!—Contributed.
Schools Take a New Trend :
Although Fall enrollments in many of California's elementary and high schools have shown increases, in other communities there has been a sharp drop which has. caused unnecessary alarm. However, it is the schools which have shown
a reduction in the number of enrolled students that are in line
with a major trend throughout the country: Shrinking enrollment is due neither to a lack of truant officers or the high cost
of having children, according to authoritative actuaries. They
place the cause entirely on the stopping af immigration. Several years ago when the widespread ban went into effect, they
estimated the probable results of this action upon schoo! enrollment and population. Their predictions have proved surprisingly exact. This year’s steep enrollment drop in New
York City schools from kindergarten to the eighth grade,
amounting to . 7,000 less than last year, is an indication of the
normal trend throughout America.—Contributed. °’
THIS LAD WAS
UNFORTUNATE
San Francisco, California
October 7, 1837
Mrs. Patrick Murphy, Salem, Oregon.
Dear Mrs. Murphy: ~— :
With reference to your recent letter, I regret exceedingly: that your
son, Ralph, came wearily home with
green hair after swimming in the
Williamette river below our mills,
ut inasmuch as the river is posted,
‘I fail to see that any responsibility
for his color rests with our firm.
We have a perfect legal right to
manufacture green blankets at our
plant, and we also have a-permit to
dump the surplus aye-stufts Into the
Willamette. we
We've been called to task for this
condition before, Mrs. Murphy, but
the court always decided in our favor. Only last spring a gentleman
from Salem came to us with a purple moustache because he’d fallen
ut of a boat one day when we happened to be making a large order of
babies’ blankets. We did all we
could to placate this man and even
agreed to have him dry cleaned at
our expense, but he insisted on’ a
legal trial, which he lost.
If you will send Ralph over to the
plant at your convenience we will be
glad to say that we will soak him in
our vat No 8, in the hope that we
can restore the natural color of his
hair, although, I must say, Mrs Murphy, that we use fast dyes in our
merchandise: and guarantee them
against running or fading.
The only least alternative that I
can suggest is that we dip Ralph in
a boiler of black analine, which will
be a less conspicious shade than he’s
dyed now. I will. call you on the
phone the next time we have a run
of lap robes.
As a matter of fact, madam, you
ought tobe thankful that your boy
‘didn’t have-a full beard when he
dove into ‘the Willamette, or matyeotelaguae thave been worse if we had
be emptying the overflow from a
run of striped woolen mufflers.
I’)] grant you that green hair is
not a very popular shade but at
least his hair and eyebrows don’t
clash, as we say in the woolen industry.
Yours very truly.
