Future Aid For Unemployment
T AST week Eugene business men voted down the proposal of
^ a general five-day week that had been suggested as a means
of partially relieving the unemployment problem in this city.
There has been some criticism of their action on the grounds
that the business men weren’t willing to make a sacrifice to
help out in the present depression. Others have felt that they
were justified in voting down the proposal. But the real ques
tion that presents itself is whether such arbitrary methods of
unemployment relief can lead to a permanent cure.
Instigated by President Hoover, the United States has at
tempted a comeback from the* severe economic depression
through the use of methods such as the one just mentioned.
Various governmental agencies have been instructed to spend
millions of dollars in construction work in order to employ some
of the several millions of men who have been idle for months.
Factories have been asked to keep as many men employed as
possible, and business concerns have been expected to help in
every way.
But while these steps may gain some Immediate relief, what
has been done to secure premanent recovery? After all, there
is a limit to the money in the government coffers, and the
way the tax burden is distributed at present, higher taxes to
replenish the treasury would only cause more suffering.
So while there many not he anything essentially wrong with
the program for relief as laid out by the government, it should
be remembered that such relief is only temporary, and that fur
ther steps should immediately be taken to secure permanent
economic stability. Crises such as the present may not neces
sarily belong in the business cycle according to some of the
newer school of economists. They believe that it is possible
through the means of planned production in industry, including
agricultural production, and supervised distribution to eliminate
most economic ills.
In Germany, Chancellor Bruening has by fiat forced the
prices down on all trade-marked goods in the retail trade, which
amounts to about 40 per cent of the total market goods. To
relieve unemployment ho has shortened working hours so that
employers would be forced to take on more men. The plan
seems to ho working for the moment. Other countries have
ulso resorted to drastic measures in endeavors to meet the situ
ation. But the United States goes on in Its same way.
However the economic stability of ttie world is to he perma
nently assured, machinery must he set in motion promptly to
seek that end in order to avert further human suffering. If
the revolutionary economic changes of other countries prove to
he sound, the ultra-conservative United States may also prepare
lor a change. For the army of unemployed cannot forever be
pacified by arbitrary relief methods.
The Battle of the Books
1> AY P. BOWEN, chairman of the romance language depart
ment, writes a letter which lias something of the flavor of
Jonathan Swift’s more acrid epistles, in which he defends the
text-book policy of the course in third-year French literature.
The editorial which was published in this column last week
was not intended as an attack on the text-book policy of Doctor
Bowen’s department. The controversial course in French litera
ture was chosen as an example of a whole group of courses
which require excessive text-book expenditure, thereby forcing
students who take them to depend solely upon the reserve library
for their texts in subjects of a more general nature. The choice
was made because we are enrolled in this course and are familiar
with its requirements.
Dr. Bowen points out that the figure of $11.25 as the year’s
book expense for the literature course is too high. There are
not nine books required, he says; there are but eight, and their
cost is a mere $8.65. Our estimates erred from strict veracity
in adding to the fall-term allotment the French-English diction
ary which is indispensable for satisfactory work in the course.
The standard Cassell dictionary is priced at $2.50. This price,
added to $8.05, gives a total of $11.15.
But Doctor Bowen’s flawless arithmetic lias shamed us. We
were content to quote a hasty estimate, which, when compared
with accurate figure.-, from Doctor Bowen's book-lists, is proved
to be 10 cents over the correct amount. Our mistake lias been
exposed; we repent, and otter the romance language department
10 tenU worth of apulogie .

DEFENDS COSTS
To the Editor:
My attention was called to your
editorial of February 12, in which
you claimed that the coats of texts
in a French literature course are
excessive, amounting, as the low
est possible figure, to $11.25 for
nine books. You do not say what
course in French literature, and so
it may well be that you have in
mind all the courses in French lit
erature combined into one. In
that case you do not exaggerate
the facts. If, however, you refer
to what is commonly known as
“Third Year French Literature,”
your statement must be based on
third and fourth hand informa
tion.
The fall term there were two
books used: one costing 80 cents

And what’s this we hear about
•Brute’ Stauffer, the Kelsey Slo
cum of the Bachelordon house,
muking the bad mistake of going
in swimming in the men’s gym
tank at the same time that the
younger members of the local V.
M. C. A. were allowed the use of
it. It seems that the pool master
huuled Mr. Stauffer out of the
tank hy the scruff of the neck and
demanded ten cents from him be
fore he would allow him the privi
lege of the pool, that being, he ex
plained, the customary fee which
the local Y. products paid.
It can’t be denied that the
clothes borrowing habit is one of
the most mooted problems in the
University but we never paid much
attention to it until last night
when it was forcibly brought home
to us when we saw Carson Math
ews in Joe Freck’s hat and rain
coat. We might suggest that Car
son room with someone his own
size.
►
and the other, an anthology of
French poetry to be used through
out the three terms, which I see
you highly recommend, costing
$1.30. During the winter term
there were three texts for the stu
dents to buy: an anthology of
Seventeenth Century prose, which
should again meet with your ap
proval, costing $1.60; and two
plays, one costing 80 cents, and
the other $1. In the spring term
we shall use three different texts,
which will cost 75 cents, $1, and
$1.40, respectively. The total of
eight books comes to $8.65, which
is far from an average of $1.25
each. We have, so far as I know,
never asked a student to buy even
one text on the Sixteenth Century
French literature, let alone the
half dozen volumes you mentioned
in your editorial.
However brilliant your sugges
tion as to an anthology was, we
seem to have anticipated your
thought, as wc already use two
such legitimate curtailments to
reading and expense. There seem,
however, to be two rather serious
objections to our using an anthol
ogy to cover the entire course.
First, there exists no such collec
tion; and secondly, if there were
it would be quite too cumbersome
to carry about, at least if the stu
dent were expected to have with
him books for other classes.
Might I add that in general
modern language texts are consid
ered the cheapest lif all books
that the students have to use?
Moreover, iince a great part of
the reading required of our French
students is collateral, these books ,
are to be found in the library in
the reserve reading room. The
aim of the department of Ro
mance Languages has always been
to keep the cost of our courses
as low as possible for the students.

Chairman of the Department
of Romance Languages.
