"Roosevelt Luck "
JL TFAih informed political observers have frequently remark-
ed upon what they call "Roosevelt luck." They can recite
incident after incident showing how the present occupant of the
White House has gotten the breaks
Our own opinion is luck in politica is about the same aa luck
in football. There is undoubtedly such a thing aa GETTING
the breaks. But it is also true that nine times out of ten what
LOOKS like luck ISN'T. The team that GKTS the breaks so
often, by hard, skillful, heady
them.
It is the same with President
undoubtedly enters into his amazing popularity, but behind it
all, and as a foundation for it, is sheer political skill, the presi
dent'a clear understanding of human nature, and the intelligent
way, at all times and under all conditions, he uses his head.
H
OWEVER in the release
budget message, we do believe, the element of luck entered.
The President's excellent message to congress came first. Then
after an interval of two days, came the budget message which
under NORMAL conditions would have been subject to consider
able criticism. But because of the sensational developments of
the Hauptmann trial, conditions during the interval were NOT
normal.
The people of this country as
in this budget message. There is practically no public interest
in it now. Everything is Hauptmann, Jaffsie, and the latest
news from this sensational trial. Who cares what the facts and
the figures of the budget may be. Figures are dry and so is
economics. Tell us the latest from
WE don't mean there is anything at all reprehensible in the
hiuWr. messnce. nnvthincr the administration cares to hide,
it may even be true that all recommendations therein, are de
manded by sound public policy. But the document does show
what a serious financial situation this country faces, and how
impossible it is, under the policy adopted to make federal outgo
equal or reasonably approach federal income. In short it is
"had news." But thanks to the intense public interest in the
New Jersey trial, it is not generally accepted as such.
The President didn't "time" this message. That it came
when interest in the Hauptmann trial was at its height, just
"happened."
This we believe IS a clear-cut example of what could rightly
be called "Roosevelt luck."
Private Vs. Public Spending
WHAT does a good business mau do when, because of a seri
ous onierrrenev. lie finrls he in snenilinff more than he is
taking in
He decides, as long as this emergency continues, to cut his
overhead to the bone, to spend nothing he doesn't HAVE io
spend.
Why shouldn't a government follow the same course!
, ....
IN his recent budget message President Roosevelt asked for
4 billion dollars for relief. He admitted this huge sum would
be necessary during the next year, because widespread unem
ployment still exists.
Few will criticize the President for this action. The first
duty of the government is to provide food and shelter for the
destitute, if this burden is too large to be assumed by the states.
As long as this critical condition exists, Uncle Sam must dig
down in his pockets, to relieve
But President Roosevelt also
emergency, the government can
must continue 'to spend more than it takes in.
All right.
Then why shouldn't the- government eliminate every other
expenditure that isn't absolutely demanded for national security
or one might even term it national EXISTENCE!
. .
'T'HIS query is brought forth because of that portion of the
budget message which calls for an INCREASE over 1034,
in the appropriation for "REGULAR" government costs, of
over $600,000,0001
This is not the total appropriation, it is merely the annual
INCREASE for 1M5 OYER Ifl.'Vl. In what direction have condi
tions so changed within twelve months, that routine government
costs must be raised bv three-fifths of a BILLION dollars!
Well here are tho main increases: a boost of $1SO,000,000 for
national defense ; an increase ot $fi,",000,000 for higher govern
ment pay; a 12.0,000,000 allotment for MORE "publio works";
a $130,000,000 increaso in veterans pensions; a $20,000,000 boost
for the civil service fund, an added $50,000,000 for the veterans
certificate fund, etc., etc.
Now it's very nice for government employees to get higher
pay, just as it is no doubt pleasing to the veterans to secure
larger pensions; but we seriously doubt the wisdom of granting
such increases, when the government is already living beyond its
income.
A T any ral
financia
rate this much is certain, no individual in a similar
ial situation would
icy. He would figure that an overhead that had carried him
through the critical year of lP-lil, could be MADE to carry him
through the critical jcar of 1!V!,", and until his income again
at least equalled outgo, that would he the mark to shoot at.
Well perhaps that is one reason why routine governmental
expenses continue to mount at such a startling rate, and in spite
of all the talk and agitation, it is so difficult to reduce them.
At the bottom of it all, may well be the refusal to apply the
principles of good management universally accepted in
PRIVATE business, to the Pl'BI.K' business a sort of perverse
insistence, not only by those in public life but by THE PEOPLE
AS A WHOLE, that when government (national, state or locaO,
is concerned. SOMEHOW ordinary business principles do not
apply, that the only real difference between government and
Santa Clans, are the reindeer and the whiskers!

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
IN THE Swift Company yearbook
for 1S36
appears the significant
statement:
"Consumption of meat and lard
during the first ten months of 1934
waa nearly threa pounda greater per
capita than In the corresponding
months of 1933."
WH
HY?
Because markets were glutted
and prices low. When prices are low,
people BUY MORE.
THE president of Swift & Company,
commenting on this statement in
the yearbook, aays:
'The situation was an extremely un
fortunate one for producers, and I
hope that the unavoidable losses
they suffered will be more than off
set by profits In the years lmmedl
ately ahead."
IF THAT comes about, HOW will it
come about?
The answer to tnat question Is rel
atlvely simple. When the price of
any particular product or commodity
falls below coat of production, two
things normally happen:
1. Production decreases, because
poducera find they can no longer pro
duce at a profit.
3. Consumption Increases, because
consumers find they can BUY MORE
for the same amount of money.
With production decreasing and
consumption Increasing, the over-supply
tends to disappear. As the over
supply disappears, production at a
profit la again possible.
THE law of supply and demand, you
you see, la more or less self -regulating.
That Is why It works so ef
fectively - '
F. SWIFT, president of Swift &
V Company, addres,rg his stock
holders at the end of 1934, says:
"What we need and are seeking
most of all la cash profits; profits
that can be paid out In dividends or
reinvested in the business as occa
sion requires."
THAT la what this whole country
needs.
Business recovery is delayed by lack
of confidence. "Lack of confidence"
la a more or less hackneyed term
meaning that people fear to invest
their money because they are afraid
they can't make a profit if they do
invest.
As long as they feel that way about
It, they will keep their money Idle,
Instead of putting It to work, and
when money Is Idle JOBS ARE
SCARCE.
THE biggest problem before the
country today is unemployment,
and In the hope of relieving unem
ployment the President proposes
spending at least FOUR BILLION dol
lars on a new work relief plan.
If the people of this country can ;
Just get back confidence in their
ability to earn a profit If they risk j
their capital and their efforts, unem-;
ployment will disappear promptly
enough.
A LOT of crackpots have been tell
ing us for years that profit la a
CRIME. If this dep:ess!on, a:.d our
slowness In coming out of it, do no
more than convince us that fair and
reasonable profit Is NOT a crime, it
wtll have been worth something.

and in the minds of a great many
people an open state of rebellion
This had been brought about by
the many misrepresentations and
falsehoods published In certain news

through not being denied, with the
idea that they were too ridiculous
to be given any credence. This rlot
oua state of affalra was finally
brought to a cltmax and resulted In
lengthy and costly tnala that nearly
wrecked the finances of Jackson
county, but with the clearing of the
atmosphere was undoubtedly worth
more than It cost.

In your paper of Monday. January

which states that a Mr. Stewart,

On several occasions I have been

in regard to above mentioned arrest.
I would like It understood through

was not I, Jack Steward, who was
arrested. There is no general store

To come out behind.
With grandma's fifty
Per week in mind?
Just stick to the aged;
Lighten their day;
And share their burden
Dock Townsend's way.
If you're lazy or hazy
Don't give up and die;
Wait for that pension
In the sweet bye and bye.
