IIKKK'H AN IDEA
A whole lot of reasons have een
suggested to explain the prevalence
of political corruption in American
cities. But Professor George J. Cox
of the fine arts faculty of Columbia
university advanced a new one re
cently when he remarked that a lot
of the corruption may be due to the
fact that most American cities are so
ugly.
Professor Cox expressed himself as
follows:
"Hero in this city (New York), wi-h
its utterly planless piling -up of
monster building-, with ivi encile&j
grids of bleak slums, Its monotonous
Iteration of lifeless concrete, stone
and steel, of sky signs and scream
ing advertisements, Its eradication of
the !ast vestige of spring and fall. Its
rooting up of trees and grass as
though they were peats alt this
scenes itf a different sort of man from
the one who does not; his attitude
toward Jife is different, his feeling
for his own town ts different. He is,
in fact, a better citizen. He has a
better life.
It Is not at all far-fetched to aup
pese that at least a part of our no
torious complacence in the presence
of municipal corruption springs from'
the ugliness that surrounds us.

We have proceeded. In erecting our) could the colonel have had these

tally; and we have made a very bad his valedictory to the house? For

that would be news worth big headlines. Yet a slight in 'abandoning it investment, on the
crease in the price of butter means just as much. Right hert i tlU!or' th,t 11 could buy ltB lciu,rc-

And then, &ituiday, we were surprised to see the price of
vh6at jump three cents a bushel, raising the value of the
Union county crop from approximately $275,000 to $350,000
n 4 single day! Multiply that figure by the scores of wheat
'aiding counties in the Pacific Northwest and you begin to
iecwhat significance is hidden in an increase of three cents
i bushel. And present indications forecast continued im
i)rrtVement in the market.
I (Jf course, we are yet a long way from normal times. The
ilprice of butterfat and the price of wheat are still so low
(that there is little it any profit in the business. But what
we are most optimistic about is the fact that the tide is
turned, and that prices are now rising instead of falling.
Lpmtdence is returning rapidly. Confidence will be trans
lliited into healthier circulation of money and the re-invest-tyasnt
of capital in industry. That will mean gradual reduction
of unemployment problems and finally a return to normal.
We hope it will not be a return to the false prosperity of
: 1928 and 192!), but to a prosperity based on sane thinking
and hard work.

MUNICH (41) Adolf Hitler, chief of
the national socialist movement and
who may reach power lu the July 31
elections. Is flhe prima donna of
German political leaders.
Much as a popular operatic star
can fly Into a rage and decline to
perform, so Adolf Hitler speaks or
declines to speak, replies to questions
or wraps himself in an Inscrutable
silence, and npiars at scheduled
meetings or abruptly absents him
self. For example:
Tho nar,ls and their allies, JliiRcn
berR's nationalists and the steel hol
me ters. foregathered at Harzbtirp
last October to demonstrate their
unity. After open air services In the
morning, tho bnttolions or the "unit
ed front" were to pass In review be
fore their respective lenders. Hitler.
Alfred Hu gen berg and Theodore
Duestcrberg.
The Hitlerites marched first. Hit
ler took their salute, then walked
off the reviewing stand without so
much as glancing at tho others.
Holds I'p The Meeting
Ho also failed to appear at the
Joint luncheon of the Inner circle
of "united front" lenders. Only with
the greatest difficulty could Hupen
berg persunde Hitter to speak at a
big public demonstration in the aft
ernoon. The meeting began half r.n
hour late because Hitler sulked about
-omcthlng.
One of the first acts of the Von
Pnpen government was to offer Hit-
ler the ue of ll government bniart
rustlng station for an address, the
Druenlng government having denied
him this privilege. Thousands of
Germans, even those who do not fol
low Hitler, wero ready to tune In.
ns they were oufious to hear the
lender of the rarnent political party
in Germany.
Suddenly the announcement came
from nacl hendqunrterft that Hitler
