Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
HERB la a headline In the news of
the day: "U. S. Relralna from
Special Jehol Policy."
Jehol la the area In which the
Chinese and Japanese are lighting. So
what the headline means la that
Uncle Sam, tor the present, at least,
will keep out of the row.

'HHUE 1 a proverb running' some

child avoids the fire." We got our
fingers so badly burned In Europe
that we are learning to keep them
away from hot placea. '
JAMES FARKEROf St. Louis, la
eulng Mrs. Melva Mllller Antho
nopoulus for damages because, he
ays, ahe promised to marry him, but
later changed her mind and refused.
Ha thinks S10.000 would be about
right In return for the agony her
change of mind caused him.
Juat offhand, without going Into
the subject In a really thorough and
affective way, can you think of a
lower form of human life than a man
who sues a woman for breach of
promise to' marry?
PRESIDENT HOOVER, In a special
message to congres on the subject
of budget balancing, recommends that
sales taxes be adopted Immediately
" as the best method of bringing in
federal revenues.
Increase In federal revenues, as of
course you know, la .needed because
the government of the United States
la spending approximately a billion
dollars a year more than it la taking
in.
If that on much longer, there
will be, trouble; and It will be the
kind of" trouble that affects EVERY
BODY. When nations," persistently and
over long periods of time, spend more
than they take In, people lose confi
dence In their money, and when peo
ple lose confidence in their money
there la REAL trouble.
THE SALES TAX la an easy and
more or less painless method of
raising money because It is paid out
in small sums. You don't miss the
money you pay In cigarette and gaso
line taxes, for example, because you
pay It a little at a time. It la knowl
edge of this fact, undoubtedly, that
causes President Hoover to recom-
' mend It.
As a matter of practical politics,
however, It Is likely that Prealdent
Hoover's approval of a sales tax will
go about aa far as anything could to
DEFEAT the sales tax.
i ' It would never do, you see, espec
ially In tlmea like these, for an In
coming administration to follow the
advice of the outgoing administra
tion. .
STATISTICIANS estimate that on
December 1, 1833, 47,600.000 per
ons were gainfully employed In this
country which Is a statistician's way
of saying that that many people had
Jobs. All these experts like to ex
press their opinions In big words.
They think It maSes them Bound
more Impressive.
On the same date, these statla
, tlelana tell us, 12,800,000 persona were
without Jobs.
That la a lot of unemployment.
NOW here Is an odd thing:
They tell us that back In the big
years of 1927. 1828 and 1929 there was
' unemployment In this country to the
extent of aome two and a half million
persona. That la to say. that many
were without Jobs, even In those big
years.
Some of them were speculating on
the bull market, maktot; a living out
of the boom In stocks. When the
stock boom busted, of course, these
livings ceased.
others. In those big yeara were Idle
because they didn't want work. There
la ALWAYS a certain amount of un
employment. TIB six-hour day enthusiasts tell
ua that If the depression should
end and business again become ac-
me, with consequent Increases In
earning and consuming power., we
would still have 5.950.000 more work
era In this country than there would
be Jobs for.

Famous Capitol Circle
Magnet for Lobbyists
Legislatures arid Aides
By Mary Orelner Kelly
SALEM, Jan. 30. (Spl.) To the
cynical, It might suggest a vicious
circle to an optimist, an ocular halo
of friendliness that continuous rim
of human eyes that top the brass
railing directly beneath the dome on
the two middle floors of the capltol
building.
Around these gleaming supports,
lawmakers from the two houses meet.
Their gazes and thetr problems drop
together Into the space below. Lob
byist meets lawyer and their vision
mingles on common ground beneath.
Stenographer meets boy friend and
they both stare downward lost In
the seclusion of space.
Standing room around the railing
(especially on the second floor) Is
at a premium during legislative
working hours. And often late at
night and on holidays, the famous
circle la anything but deserted.
Eyes looking over the railing may
discover a six-gellon hat bobbing
alorg the lower hallway on two short,
sturdy legs. If attending the ses

conference, agreed upon a discussion
of war debts with representatives of
Great Britain to take place early
In March after the change of admin

would Include also the economic
problems of the world and "ways
and means for Improving the world
situation."

immediately to Initiate negotiations
with Great Britain arranging for the
projected conference.

over, but let It be known he planned
to do so after leaving the city In
mid-afternoon for the trip to Muscle

In diplomatic quarters, note was
taken immediately that the state
ment referred to Great Britain alone.

19. Everything is different
nowadays, even the way a
country gets its freedom. We
give the Philippines twelve
years. In two years they are
to have a constitution that is
suitable to us. I hope they make
it. Ours after 150 years is not
suitable to us.
They owe ns some money so
we bet their freedom against
10 years 'that they can't pay
us that (we can't pay our na
tional dcfit in 100 yeara.) So
here is all they got to do to get
their freedom: get a constitu
tion that will suit Democrat
and Republican, pay all their
debts and keep out of the
clutches of Japan. That's what
I call a sporting offer.
