MEDFORD, OKEGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 193
No. 63.
Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
THE house of representatives passes
the two and a quarter billion
dollar Garner relief bill and senda It
to th senate.
The senate, receiving It, says un
easily, aa did the leader of ancient
Troy: "Beware the Greeks when
they come bearing glfte."
THE house, you see. la Democratic.
The senate la Republican; or
minmr so. at least, by a narrow
margin. The President Is RepubU
can. The Republicans are on the Inside,
looking out. The Democrats are on
the outside, looking In. The Demo
crats, who are out, WANT TO BE IN,
for the Jobs are on the Inside.
And this is a campaign year.
THZ Garner relief bill, so long as
It Is only a bill, la fine vote-getting
thunder. If It becomes a law,
it would be a CALAMITY, for It
would unbalance the budget as badly
as ever, and all the labor and grief
of the past six months would have
been wasted.
Business, which has been some
what relieved by the balancing of
the budget, would be scared to death
all over again.
THE Democratic house of repre
sentatives knows this aa well as
anybody, and Its responsible leader
ship, at least, doesn't want the bill
to become a law. What it DOES
WANT is this:
It wants the credit with the un
thinking art of the electorate for
having originated and passed big
relief measure, and It wants the Re
publican senate or the Republican
President to bear all the blame for
having prevented this big relief
measure, which would bankrupt the
treasury, from becoming a law.
Bo It passes the Garner bill and
tends it over to the senate, know
ing that If the senate also passes It
the President will veto It.
Such is politics In campaign years,
OENATOR SMITH W. BROOKHART,
3 of Iowa, who is a radical. Is
feated for renomlnation by Henry
W. Field, of the small city of She
nandoah, located away down In the
big southwest corner of the state.
Field is a nurseryman and whole
sale seed merchant, whose advertis
ing hu made him widely known
throughout his state.
He la rated aa a reasonably sound
thinker.
T IS Interesting, however, to not
that the campaign was not made
on the Issue of sound thinking
opposed to radicsl thinking.
Brookhart, who has been Ibud
critic of everybody else, used his po
sition as senator to get Jobs for his
relatives to such an extent. It la said,
that at the present moment members
of his family are drawing In salaries
from the government the quit large
sum of 34,000 a year.
Field devoted his campaign pretty
largely to an attack on this practice,
and the results speak for themselves.
S FOR Brookhart, he deserves
aa wnat he gets. The man who
holds the high position of United
State senstor should be above mere
Job hunting for the members of bla
family. When he Isn't, people find
it out sooner or later.
Th seem to have found it In
Brookhart't case.
a a
SPEAKING of senators, and other
employees of the public, they are
mnt from Income taxation. To
this writer, that hss never seemed
right. Why shouldn't an employee
of the public. If his sslary la above
the exemption provided by law, psy
a tax on his Income the same as any
body else?
If you can answer that question
satisfactorily, you can do more than
this writer can.
T IS charged In congress that high
officials of some of the big copper
eompsnits used their positions back
In 1929 to gain Inside information
out of which they made big proflte
on the stock market.
The charges may be true. Such
things were done back in those wild
daye. Too many men didn't care
how they made money, Just so they
msde it.'
