failed to appreciate any of their blessings. On every hand elnt d. Rney ciisan!

As general business ha3 improved, not only here but all
over the world, the peddlers of panaceas are a bit less vocal
than they formerly were. Perhaps the people may see things
in, a little better perspective. If there is one thing which mod
ern business has done it has been to raise the living stand

The Governor's statement that
the bill is really a measure for
compelling thrift is true. And that
address:
i ' My experience with other philanthropic endeavors leads
"me to btlieve that the only time great numbers of the under
privileged ever acquire higher standards of living is when the
brains and ingenuity of business and financial leadership make it
their job to raise these living standards. I

of conditions, which I read the other day? In 1900, not one fam- '
- ily Jn a hundred owned a horse and buggy. Todays three out of
jfour have automobiles. One family In 13 had a telephone; now
11 ;pne family in two. In that 8ame year, modern plumbing and cen-
Jtral heating were luxuries; less than five thousand homes had
electricity, radio and 'refrigeration. Today, twenty-one hundred
: million homes are wired, seven million families own refrigerators,
t twenty-two million have radio receivers. " l:
; "Of course, all of this is fine, but It Is Just a beginning xt
what is really possible. The only way that we can protect such
growth of living standards is by spreading 'the opportunity for
v 'more and more people to use less of their family budgets for .

therefore encounter are propor

this society has resulted In much
smaller families than previously,
with much less chance of elderly
parents being taken care of by a

society throws men and women
out of employment at an earlier

in this society that they should be

Fence an Insult
Editor of the Statesman:
Your editorial In the Statesman
Give the People a Chance" hits
the nail on the head. Why that
seven foot board fence around the
state house Is more than I can
see. I thiak the citizens have a
right to look on at the construc
tion; we are all interested to see
the work progress from time to
time. If you must hare a fence
mak it four to five feet then we
can look. over. If any one wanted
to do any harm a seven foot fence
would not stop him any way.
I ' well remember when the
other state house was under con
struction there was no fence
around it of any kind, and the
citizens could look as long as they
pleased and no trouble ever hap
pened. I consider that fener an
Insult to the citizens of this city
and state.

THEY HAD IT COMING
In his reply-to those people
who have sought to link his ad
ministration w 1 1 h communism,
fascism and other un-American-isms.
President Roosevelt was at
his best Tuesday night. The Lib
erty Leaguers, the Hearsts, the
McCormieks and others who have -sought
to buUd ujv issues of prej
udice had it coming. The high
command of the republican party
which has condoned and even wel
comed this type of campaigning
laid Itself wide open for Mr.
Roosevelt's rebuke. .
- There are a. great many people
who do not like Mr. Roosevelt
or his new deal who are unwill
ing to believe that Mr. Roosevelt
is un-American or that the Ameri
can form of j government is en-,
d angered seriously by anything he
haa done aaj yet. The existence
of . serious constitutional, issuea.
may be admitted without involv
ing the- constitution- itself. Jh
Roosevelt administration 'la open
to challenge for inefficiency and
waste and stupidity and lack of
consistent poUcy but not as ta
motives, and it is to be hoped that
these real issues will be debated
from now on and the false ones
dropped. The weakest Part of Mr.
Landon's approach to the Ameri
can publie has been his willing
ness to accept this keynote of
prejudice. .. ,
- Mr. Roosevelt was entitled to
