HB navy, responding to the urgent
need for econ srey In government
V expenditures, Is to sat more than
50,000,000 from its 1933 budget.
This reduction, we read, will Involve
abolishment of the navy band, the
laying off of more ttian 3,000 civilian
employees and the mustering out of
more than 4,000 sailors and marines.
'
pERHAPS you will say: "That won't
help the unemployment situation
much."
Probably not. But you read In this
column the other day the statement
that at the present time each six to
ten workers In this country are sup
porting one employee of government.
If anything Is to be done to remedy
that condition, which lsnt a good
condition, a start must be made somewhere.
THE American Federation of Labor,
- at its annual convention, which
T has Just closed, adopted a resolution
Instructing lta executive council to
wort for world peace.
That shows an Intelligent grasp of
large public affairs. It Is a world
war that Is responsible for present
' conditions of world-wide unemploy
ment. Labor Is the great sufferer from
war. Putting It the other way around,
labor la the great GAINER- from peace.
So , labor Is wise In working for
world peace.
iREDIT Alfalfa Bill Murray, of
Oklahoma, with the smartest wise
crack of the week. Referring to the
ridiculous situation that exists In
Louisiana, he remarked the other day:
"Let all unemployed men go to
Louisiana and take the oath as gov
ernor. That'll give them a real Job."
THE governor of Louisiana has been
elected V. 8. senator. This, in
the opinion of the lieutenant govern
' or, a bitter personal enemy, dlsquall-
flea the governor to serve longer In
bis present office, so lie steps- In and
takes the oath of offloe as governor.
The governor then proclaims that the
lieutenant governor haa let himself
out and swears In ANOTHER lieuten
ant governor.
Whereupon an "unknown man out
of a Job steps In and takes the oath
Of lieutenant governor, making a fine
mess.
WE laugh and say to ourselveB that
If Louisiana wants to counten
ance these activities of men who make
fools of themselves and of their state
It Is all right with us that it Is none
of our business, anyway.
That is only partially true. These
silly goings on In Louisiana make
government 'ridiculous, and whatever
makes government appear ridiculous
( tends to break down respect for gov
ernment. Breaking down respect for govern
ment doesnt do any' decent person
any good.
HERE Is an interesting sentence
from a letter printed in one of
Oregon's largest newspapers:
"If the publlo as a whole were to
make sure that EVERY DOLLAR spent
remained as close to home as possible,
prosperity would soon be here."
WOULD it? Let's' see about that.
Suppose people of the East who
build houses were to make sure that
every dollar remained as close to home
as possible.
If they did that, would they BUY
OREGON LUMBER?
SOUTHERN OREGON produces wool,
potatoes, pears and prunes in large
volume In very much larger volume
than it consumes these produces.
Suppose the people of the rest of
the country were to make sure that
every dollar spent remained as close
to home as possible.
In that event, what would Southern
Oregon do for a market for these Im
portant products?
THE state of Oregon, as a whole, is
a producing state, rather than a
consuming state. It sends out over
Its borders more than It brings in
over its borders.
So if EVERYBODY, all of a sudden,
should decide to keep every dollar at
home, what would happen to Oregon?
BEING proud of 'home products is
fin thing. Buying home pro
ducts Is a fine thing. Promoting the
use of home products Is a commend
able enterprise.
But when we say that prosperity de
pends on keeping EVERY DOLLAR
AT HOME, we are going too far.
As a matter of tact, prosperity
doesn't depend on any one single
thing. It Is a combination of a lot
of things all working smoothly In
harmony.
