Troubles for F. D. Ahead
TE hope President Roosevelt enjoy a merry Christmas and
' ". happy New Year, for after the holidays his troubles
will begin. ,
Congress will then be in session. As usual the members of
congress as a whole will be interested in what is good politics:
while the President, as usual, will be concerned with what is
best for the country.
The veterans bonus will be one of the first things on the
program. Everyone agrees the measure will pass the lower
house with a whoop. It may have harder sledding in the senate,
but its passage there is also certain.
The President realizes that with the financial condition of
the country what it is, with the necessity of relief still para
mount, this is no time to sanction the IMMEDIATE payment
of millions in cash to citizens not in actual need. ITe will,
therefore, attempt to secure a compromise which will restrict
such payments to those veterans eligible for federal relief.
Whether he succeeds or the original measure, is passed over
his veto remains to-be seen. It promises to be a hard battle
either way.
ANOTHER knotty problem will be the popular Townsend
nl.flcA nnnelnn nlon
mis ciever proposal, designed to solve all of Uncle Ham s
economic and financial problems in one fell swoop, has met with
a popular rcnction which is nothing short of sensational. To
hundreds of thousands it has demonstrated clearly there IS a
Santa Claus. Securing signatures urging its enactment has
been as difficult, as getting signatures to a promise of sudden
weartn and independence, for every man, woman and child h
the land.
TPHE threat of Father Townsend that he will "lick the hide
off congress and send it home" if his proposal is not ap
proved, is a needless gesture. At tho present writing there are
more votes behind this measure, than behind the cash bonus.
Just how many there are no one knows, but probably 10,000,000
is not far from a conservative estimate. In the face of such
political support, the members of the lower house will no more
think of fighting the proposition than of advocating a lifo. peu
sion for J. P. Morgan. Messiah Townsend might as well have
saved his breath.
But as President Roosevelt must consider the welfare of the
entire country, and must confine his endorsement to proposals
which are practical and wise, regardless of their popular appeal,
the opposition of his administration is inevitable. (
The President favors tho principle of old age pensions. But
he strongly opposes a federal sales tax, which is the keystone of
the Townsend arch, and could hardly secure the approval of his
treasury to a proposal that would take half of the income of all
the people, of this country, to benefit a minority of less than
ten percent.
However the popular support is there. And with the fallacy
involved linked up with the abstruse subject of economics and
finance, the task of mnking the fallacy clear to the rank and
file, will be difficult indeed. The ability of the President to
surmount this legislative obstacle, without taking a serious crop
per, will certainly be a supreme test of his unquestioned political
skill.
...
TTMIERE will be many more perplexing questions for the YVhito
House to decide, before the 1035 session of congress finally
ends. The danger will not be to the President's program
The 33,003 per cent profit garnered I wi,nr ln rrnvv WANTS"! h. unrlnilM.,ll ...ill !, M
by the munitions makers during the ' '
j ne ciHnger win ssv i ne trom tnose who want to obstruct the
"new deal", but from those who wish the new dciil to go farther
to the left than the President desires.
In short unless all signs fail, the prediction made in this
column some time ago, may well be sustained during the ensuing
session of congress, namely:
President Roosevelt instead of fighting against the conserva
tive forces in this country, will be fighting against tho ultra
liberal forces, who with tho bit in their teeth will be threatening
to get completely out of hand.
The problem will then become, not what it has been the past
few months to persuade the President to turn away from the
left, but to niako it politically possible for him to turn to the
right as far,as ho really dosiresl
In other words, to all intents and purposes, President Roose
velt for a time at least will becomo the Conservative leader of
tho United States.

I think this growth could have beeu
detected by examination at least two
year ago. when It would have be?n
possible to operate successfully. Ine
patient had been given a periodic ex
amination by her physician at fre
quent Intervals, as she wished to k;p
fit. On each examination she was
pronounced to be In perfect healtn
So what?
Just what should a periodic physi
cal examination or health Inventory
Include?
I have no definite Idea about th:
fn practice the periodic physical ex
ami nation is largely a guesture. It
,1s an excellent way for the patient to
pet acquainted with the doctor and
for the doctor to get acquainted wlt!i
the patient. For that alone a yearly
check-up Is worth the price, I think.
It is worth something io you to know

such special tests or examinations aa
he thinks advisable.
Our colleague Implies that tie
periodic examination should Include
a rectal examination. I do not think
so. I believe your own physician
should decide whether this Is advis
able or not, after he naa heard your
complaint and perlviys questioned
you specifically about one thing and
another you omit from your history
or anamnesis.
Insurance companie rh&t give with
each can of each policy, some sort
of free health or near-medical serv
ice In violation of the principle that
the practice of medicine la an lndi

the mere opinion of a doctor that

more than the opinion of the doctor
that the child Is well. A lot of ho

swera in the funny examination
blanks, of course. People never like
to see the doctor earn his fee fro
easily.
When you are well acquainted with
your doctor you do not hesitate to
consult him about any apparently

that Is much better than procrasti

In him about a major worry or difficulty.

FOR two or three days, this column
has dealt with the history of
artificial Illumination that Is to
say, the efforts of human beings,
through hundreds of generations, to
solve the problem of finding their
way about at night.
Xt Is an Interesting story. In Itself,
and besides It points a number of
useful lessons.
' 4-4 -
VfOU have read, for example, that
tor more tnan 25 centuries
crude wick, hanging over the edges
of a bowl of oil, provided humanity
with light at night.
That la because people of that day
were TOO EASILY SATISFIED. They
didn't want something better BADLY
ENOUGH to use their brains In fig
urlng out way to get It.
When human beings are wholly
satisfied with what they have, there
is no progress.
YOU have read, also that after
Edison had invented the electric
bulb, he was stumped at first by the
problem of the fixture's shadow un-derneath.
Lamps had always stood upright,
because flame naturally GOES UP
WARD, and even Edison's brilliant
and original mind couldn't get out
of the rut worn by thousands of
years of conventional thinking. It
was only by accident he learned that
his electric bulb would burn upside
down.
YOU have read that invention of
the tungsten filament provided
MORE LIGHT with LESS CURRENT.
That Is, it lowered the cost of elec
tric lights.
But, Instead of ruining the electric
Industry by decreasing its market the
tungsten filament HELPED the In
dustry by Increasing consumption.
When the cost of electricity wa
cheapened, people promptly began to
USE MORE OF IT.
P we could just make all the pro
ducts of our civilization - cheap
enough that "EVERYBODY could af
ford to use as much of them AS HE
WANTS, we might solve the riddle
of over-production and so learn how
to abolish poverty, and create uni
versal and lasting prosperity for
prosperity, you know, consists mere
ly in having PLENTY of the things
we WANT.
Unfortunately, we are now tack
ling this problem from the opposite
end; limiting production, shortening
hours, plowing under wjieat and cot
ton, killing pigs to get rid of them
making things so costly that peo
ple can't afford to use them.
We'll have to get away from that
false Idea before we can banish pov
erty and create lasting pro&perity. ;
Just as Edison had to get away from j
the idea that an electric bulb HAD i
to stand upright.

UR trouble la the same as Edi
son's we're THINKING IN A
RUT.
We've always thought of high
wages and high prices as creating
prosperity. That ISN'T TRUE, any
more than It was true that Edison's
electric bulb had to stand upright
What creates prosperity Is enabling
EVERYBODY to have PLENTY of
what he WANTS. High prices merely
make It HARDER for everybody to
get what he wants, thus PREVENT
ING prosperity.
Some day, we'll quit thinking In
that old rut. Then we'll get some
where.
ONE other thought:
In all the centuries when i
sputtering wick hanging from a bowl
of oil was humanity's chief source
of light at night, electricity waa
PRESENT IN THE WORLD. All that
was needed waa a brain SMART
ENOUGH to discover and APPLY It.
Who knows what other tremendous
forces exist, UNKNOWN to us as yet.
to be discovered by smart brains and
applied to the betterment of human
conditions and the enrichment of
human life?
