England's EVERY now and then lome sad-faced "elder statesman" arises to announce how much faster and better England has come out of the depression than the United States. "And without any hokui pocus like the 'Xew Deal', tool" The inevitable moral is that if President Roosevelt had done nothing but fold his hands and let nature and Big Business have their way, we would all be sailing along on easy street at the present time. No "New Deal"t The fact is England has had and still has a "New Deal" that would make Roosevelt's program look like an epitaph on King Tut'a sarcophagus. It isn't identical with the Roosevelt New Deal, but it is similar. A BUILDING program! The British government has financed the construction of 200,000 houses. Relief. Thirty or forty percent of the workers are on a dole. Taxest A person in England pay the government $34 per year. This tax increases by geo metrical progression until a person hnving an income of $50,000 a year, pays $ 20,000 to the crown. Gas taxest Over there the per gallon. The owner of a Ford per year regardless of its age, as The monetary situation! standard for nearly half a decade, has repudiated its war debts, has cut interest on its own bonds, in spite of the howls of the bond holders, has slashed federal down the line, We don't deny England has come out from the depression more rapidly than any other country in Europe. But not by just muddling through and letting nature take its course. England put on a "New Deal" that IS a New Deal. There is scarcely a factor in its economic, social or industrial life that hasn't been transformed since the world war. It has no dictator ship, but it is perhaps the most SELF-rcgimcnted country in the world today. The government has something to say about practically everything the English citizen does or tries to do, and while the average resident over there may not. like it, he does "take" it, or so, from this distance, it appears. sees PO the' next time some lugubrious Wiseman, pulls the old J wheeze about England regaining her prosperity without any New Deal, tell him either to look up the record, or go fry an agg. The most radical and comprehensive "New Deal" in exis tence, is functioning, in that tight little isle on the other side of the Atlantic, today.' Business Is nnn m,ni. -,. .t,,i, t i.-i,..,., m. vv uiHuj j t-uia u wis ii r y nil, Via ftw.'sn 4 Via Vtn.ra nn Walt ii As a regular contributor to th radical New Republic, he has been a persistent and scathing critic of the old deal and its financial practices. He was among the first to call attention to the iniquities of the Insnll set-up. Testifying before the senate committee many of his suggestions were followed in framing the administration's Security Act, and forcing a Xew Deal on Wall Street. When Mr. Flynn, therefore, has anything GOOD to say for Big Business, like the dog-biting man, it qualifies as news. And from such a source, the justification for approval, can't be ques tioned. The article of commendation appears in the current Rotary magazine : "In the first plAce," writes Mr. Flynn, "the univer sal disaster which has shaken the world has brought us face to face with our imperfections. Business men have seen with appalling disillusionment the relation be tween our economic collapse and our bad ethics. Certain unethical banking and investment practices of pro-crash days, have been discarded and banned in financial circles, and in their place have arisen new theories and standards, brought about, by the pressure of public opinion, and adopted willingly by bankers. "In the meantime, some progress has been made in consolidating into United States law the ga'ns in public opinion upon these important ethical relationships. To name but a few of these; "1. The new banking act makes it impossible for investment bankers to take part in the direction of commercial banks, savings banks or trust companies. These security merchants have no right to help direct those great financial institutions which buy and lend on their merchandise. "2. Certain forms of banking affiliates have been outlawed. It was through these affiliates that bank of ficials managed to evade banking laws; as well as the laws of Moses, which are somewhat more fundamental. "3. Holding companies have been brought under the dominion of national bank examiners. The aim of this is to do away with that secrecy behind which bank ers could do many things which would not live under the spotlight of scrutiny. "There is much more. But what is important about all these laws is that they constitute a kind of now ethical code which has the approval and support of the entire nation. We had to have a general lift in the moral understanding of the whole people to get such laws passed.' When a Big Business "hr.ter", like John T. Flynn can see the depression has taught American business lesson, and the moral tone of the iuJuMrial and financial world has been raised as a result of Roosevelt's New Peal, there must have been a marked change for the better, indeed. Which is all to the good, for it justifies a slowing down of the reformatory movement on the part of the administration and a speeding up of the movement f0r rceoverv.

OI7 DOC BRADY TAKKS t'N Every time I receive a letter from a college profesaor you'd be aeton .(hod at the volume of correspondence college folk have with this column Z throw back my hair, figura tively speaking, and wonder whether some col lege will one day give me an hon orary degree for my service to professors. Cer tainly I've saved a lot of the credulous' profes sors from being gyppeo, by charla tans and nostrum exploiters, and I've educated many of them In ele mentary physiology. Too bad Personal Health Service was not available In the gay nineties when the slickers were getting the simple professors to sign testimonials to efficacy of glori fied cottage cheese as a "nerve tonic." Even If some Institution should desire to confer an honorary degree In acknowledgment of my phllan- tropy the chances are the degret would he of no practical use. So I have decided to endow myself with a new degree, and I now serve notice that from now on my full name la Wm. Brady. M. D., D. P. M. oh, I might affix a long string of letters to that, but I wish to focus attention particularly upon the O. P. M. I scrutinized the degree carefully before I decided to adopt It. for I don't care to tempt the wlsecrackers more than I can help. Even so, I expect to receive a hundred messages giving tne three or four possible in terpretations of the meaning of theno letters. They actually mean Doctor of Preventive Medicine. Kvery doctor tn actual practice practices preventive medicine. I know of no doctor who limits his practice to preventive medicine. People simply can't savvy such a specialist as yet. People are too dumb to recognize the value of preventive medicine the economic value. They hate like the deuce to pay a doctor who does not hand 'em a keg of medicine or nomc thing equally tangible, and so no doctor enn afford to limit his practice, to specialize in preventive medicine. My own practice such as it Is purports to be exclusively preventive medicine. Aa a matter of fact moat of my time Is taken up explaining to the Yankee and the Scotch and child-minded correspondents that I cannot diagnose or prescribe for their maladies or complaints without ex amination.

Since his di vorce from Laura Biddle, he seems to have no permanent attachments. Very seldom Is he seer two nights running with the same lady. But whoever his choice, she can be de pended ipon to turn heads. Stewart la slim, sleek and Immacu late, many fashion writers declaring him the best dressed man tn the metropolis.

Condon declares under oath that the mysterious "John" who negotiated and received the Lindbergh ransom of $50,000 is Bruno Richard Hauptmann. rvTD Hauptmann abduct and slay the Lindbergh babyt There is as yet no direct proof that he did, but if this writer were a mem ber of the Flemlngton Jury he would have little difficulty in arriving at verdict. Hauptmann had In his possession, carefully hidden, large sums of the ransom money, which Indicates that if he didn't do the actual kidnaping himself he knew and had an under standing with the one who did. which makes htm guilty enough to hang. A BUILDING contractor said to "I'm paying eight per cent for the money I'm using. I need six per cent money, and I can give what in normr.1 times would be regarded as good security for the repayment of the loan. "But. in spite of the fact that I know any number of people who hav money lying In the savings bank at two and a half per cent, I can't get a six per cent loan." WHY not? Why do people who have mnnat nrfr tn Innva If In tViA savings banks at low interest to lend ing It on what In normal times would be regarded as good security at a much higher rate of Interest? The answer Is as plain as the nose on your face because they are afraid that if they lend their money they won't get It back. That is the whole story. WHY are people who have money atraA tit IsnH If 9 Well, most of them don't put their fears Into words, because open ex pression of lack of confidence in the future Isn't popular, but If you were to ask them and they were to answer truthfully, they would probably tell you something like this: Our government Is experimenting on a vast scale with theories that run contrary to the facts developed In the hard school of business experience. If these theories don't work out, busi ness will be adversely affected. "Before I lend my money and so take the risk of losin? it, or a con siderable part of It, I'm going to wait and see whether or not these theories work.' JpXPERIMENTS, of course, are noth- matter of fact most of the progress we have made has come about as the result of SUCCESSFUL experiments. The founding of the government of the United States, with it, then strange theory that government exists for the benefit of the governed, rather than for the benefit of those doing the governing, was in itaelf an experi ment on a comparatively vast scale. and it was regarded wlt'.i the utmost keptlcism In Europe, But It WORKED. THERE Is, however, this difference: States, with its wlsety considered checks and balances, was founded cn sound economics, whereas much of the experimenting we are now doing on so vast a scale Is founded on un sound economic premises, such as that we can vote prosperity or that we can spend ourselves rich. That Is why people are afraid of It. Communications Farmer Bills' Speech To the Editor: This writer attended the meeting of the Townsend club at the county court houv on Friday evening to hear "Farmer Bill from the Apple gate" discuss the negative Ride of the Townsend old age pension plan. 30,000 SHEEP KILLED BY DOG Photo shos paiturt Unas w.th soms of tne dead in. main. tAisoci Having lived In this county for nearly eight years, this writer has read var ious and sundry article wrl'ten by the aforesaid Farmer B: ! and printed tin the Med ford Mall lrlbuns and. he had the desire when the oppor tunity was offered to hea- tins 'r:i I fed" orator, tand see him on, the hoof, and as it was widely acclaimed ; in the newspapers that ht would show hit oratorical ability on the said evening, the writer took stand ing room in the court house along with many others. After the .mlnu.es of the previous meeting were read and other func tions of the club finished, the presi dent of the club Introduced Farmer Bill. He first explained to his audi ence that he was Just plain Farmer Bill and that therefore they would excuse his appearance. He then pro ceeded upon his mission which was to prove to the members of this club that their Ideas were all wrong. He told his audience that this meet ing reminded him of meetings In this same room of the Good Govern ment congress. He implied that it was a political meeting and Informed them that all elections were over for two years and asked "How Come?" He talked of the J. C. Barnes shel ter tax plan; he walked the floor and with his hands, played with whatever he had In his pockets. He read, with the assistance of the secretary of the club, the proposal of Gram for an old age pension. He talked about when Wallace was here last June and how he was paying the farmers to not raise hogs so the price would go up. He endeavored to quote the Bible, but one thing he did not talk about was the Townsend old age pension plan. Alter taking up the time of his audience for about an hour he quit in a huff, saying that he wac heck ledthe said heckling being when he asked what success Wallace had in his hog reduction plan. Someone in the audience who knew hogs ans wered the question by saying that hogs were quoted at 4.50 per hun dred when Wallace was here tn June and at this time were worth $8.50 per hundred. Next when he endeav ored to quote the Bible some min ister of the Gospel set him right. The plain fact of the matter Is that Farmer Bill was up against It from the start. Ho had Just as well have gone to a Rotary meeting and told them that their "wheel" did not go round, or to a Lions club meeting snd tell them that their Hon" did . not roar like Gllmore gasoline. As a speaker and an orator Farmer BUI Is a durned good farmer. The writer was sure disappointed as he had stood with the "standing room only" crowd for more than an hour. with his legs pushed up into his spine with hope and expectations of, hearing the negative side of a ques-; tion that everyone is talking about.1 J.

Ye Poet's Cornei nF.PRRSPION Peop le young an d peo pie o! d , throughout the country, seem to hold that to help our downcast nation they must harp on the depression Depression Is a state of mind, and when the people come to find, that a smile or two each day does more to help the NRA, and drive depres sion on its way, than all the fancy oaths so grand, and pledges of the average man. To my mind, there's one salvation, based upon much observation a sure thing to help the nation whip that Bogey called Depression. Here It Is a three-fold plan I'll guarantee will help each man; and. If each day you'll do your part, de pression's whipped before we start. If each would cheer his neighbor by a word whereln-eth truly lies, hope and faith wherein Is tent the essence of encouragement. If each would for his neighbor do a deed to help him weather througn the stress of times, how well 'twould be for struggling folks like you and me. If each would with his neighbor smile R bit. then life would be worth while, and folks would soon wake up and say, 'I think depression's on Its way." P. B. CASE, Eagles Going To G.
