INCREASING EMPLOYMENT AND PURCHASING
POWER
The national recovery act program has one m ajor pur­
pose and that is to increase employment am ong the unem ­
ployed. It Is proposed to do this by shortening working
hours of help now employed and the general raising of
wages. In other words full time employees are expected
to share their job with the unemployed and employers are
expected to pay more wages in the lower brackets. The
public is expected to stand the increase cost of goods and
service brought about by these arrangem ents.
ITealdent Roosevelt has summed up the situation in
these words.
‘•We can m ake possible by dem ocratic self discipline in
industry general increases in wages and shortening of
hours sufficient to enable industry to pay its own workers
enough to let those w orkers buy and use the things th at
their labor produces.
“ W ithout united action a few selfish men in each com ­
petitive group will pay starvation wages and insist on long
hours of work. Others in th at group either m ust follow suit
or close up shop. We have seen the result of action of that
kind in the continuing descent into the economic hell of the
past four years.
“ If all employers in each competitive group agree to
pay their w orkers the sam e w a g e s- reasonable wages—
and require the sam e hours—reasonable hours—then high­
er wages and shorter hours will hurt no employer."
"On the basis of this simple principle of everybody do­
ing things together, we are starting out ou this nation-wide
a tta c k on unemployment. It will succeed if our people un­
derstand IL
iff
"Abolishment of child labor m akes me personally hap­
pier than any other thing with which 1 have been connected
since 1 came to W ashington.
“We are not going through another winter like the
last.”
“
“ Opinion and conscience are the only Instrum ents we
shall use in this sum m er offensive against unemployment.
But we shall use them to the limit to protect the willing
from the laggard and to make the plan succeed.”
“ If I am asked w hether the American people will pull
them selves out of this depression, I answ er, ‘They will If
they w ant to.’
“ I cannot guarantee the success of this nation-wide
plan, but the people of this country can guarantee Its
success.”

HOW SHALL WE SPEND IT?
The difficulties in cutting down federal expenditures,
and the ease in starting extravagant expenditures, are sug­
gested by public reaction to proposals for expenditures in
the states. Title II of the National Recovery bill encourages
this editorial in the High Point, N. C., Enterprise:
North Carolina, second largest federal taxpayer, may not main­
tain that relative place in the list of contributors to the proposed >3.-
300,000,000 public works appropriation, but the state will be drawn
upon for a considerable hare. It has a legitimate Interest, therefore,
in the question of how It can participate In the distribution of the
money. Senator Bailey estimates the state has an expectancy as
great as eighty millions from the public works budget.
Assuming the Government could be induced to spend eighty
millions of the »3.300.000.000 in North Carolina, upon what should the
money be spent?
The field of speculation is open. The question before the state
Ie what to do with eighty millions. . . .
When we as individuals spend money, the questions
are: Do we need it? and How much would we have to pay
for it? and Can we afford it?
But when we collectively, as the Federal Government,
propose to spend money through the states, the questions
are: How much can we get? W hat can we spend it for?
— B etter Business.
The long asked for secondary highway from Mabel to
Holley, connecting the Mohawk and Calapooia valleyB,
should be built this year. The opening of the Dollar Lum ­
ber company sawmill should hasten this work. This com ­
pany has holdings on both sides of the divide and there is
other commercial traffic which is calling for the completion
of this road. It m akes the Calapooia and Santiam valleys
tributary to this section and its construction is well worth
the cost.

I cannot help passing along to my friends the things I
find out in the day’s busy routine—things th a t may prove
useful, and are always worth the telling. Things that PAY,

no irritating pills pills th at “gripe.” I used to think a pill
did no real good unless It hurt! Had no sense. A pill that
hurts is dangerous— else it wouldn’t hurt. I devote all my
effort, now that I’m wiser—to finding laxatives th a t act
without distress.
If you have a colon past middle age, you want to avoid
“dead-wood” in food products too. After middle age, a
patient is actually going down-hill. You may be forty-five,
the prime of life; but, chances are, you’ll not reach ninety -
so few do. You’ll never be quite so good tomorrow as you
are today. . . sad, but it’s the m athem atics or it.
Then, why fool with worthless food—or, say, bran th at
