A Lot of Piffle
THE Attorney General has held no member of the gtate legis
lature holding a state or federal job can retain his member
ship. As a result of this decision a large number of legislators
have been disqualified, and their places are to be filled by ap
pointment. .
We see no reason to question the legality of this decision. It
appears to be the law and the law should be enforced.
But to hear some of the arguments advanced to sustain this
action one might conclude the chief value of the state legisla
ture, is as a haven for the unemployed.
ONE up-state contemporary goes so far as to maintain a state
legislator should be in a position to devote all his time to
the service of his constituents, and the retention of any other
position is not only contrary to the public interest, but is evi
dence of greed, if not moral turpitude.
Carrying such reasoning to it logical conclusion would
mean the disqualification of practically every member of the
state legislature past, present and future.
For only those members retired from active business, or of
independent means, would then be eligible to keep their seats.
GENERALLY speaking, all members of the legislature not
only hold "other jobs," but could never afford to go to the
legislature if they didn't.
Just why PUBLIC job should disqualify a man for legis
lative service and a PRIVATE job shouldn't, is not exactly
clear. As far as the matter of time is concerned, there is no comparison-between
them, nor in the direction of the monetary re
ward involved, i. e., greed. Private jobs are far more serious ob
stacles in this direction than public ones.
The idea probably is that legislators should not be involved
in the "spoils system" and that when the matter of political
plums are concerned, the rewards should be passed around, to
cover as much territory as possible.
Well, we have no particular quarrel with this. Our interest
in the question was only aroused by the loose thinking and sol
emn nonsense which its discussion has brought to the surface.
TpiIE contention that throwing out all of the members of the
", state legislature who have received public posts, and replac
ing them with those who haven't, is going to raise the quality of
that body, or give this state better government, is just all a lot
of apple sauce. In fact it is quite possible the exact reverse would
be true, for intimate knowledge of state administrative work
might well add measurably to a legislator's usefulness.
In short the whole thing boiled down to its essentials is just
a matter of POLITICS and nothing else.
We have no objection to accepting it on that basis without
complaint. But trying to elevate it as some sort of crusade with
all this talk about moral turpitude, greed and the necessity of
devoting full time to the public
but a pain in the neck.
How About It?
POK.MER President Hoover is erupting again. In another in-
spired interview from the "sage of Palo Alto" we learn
that the NRA should be promptly thrown overboard, bait, hook
and sinker, and true American
To the familiar query, "What thpn do you propose!" Jim
Farley's "Hard Hearted Herbert" rejoins, "nothing."
AYhen a thing is no good, tin-American, improper, destruc
tive, the immediate job is to get rid of it, and to ask about sub
stitutes is merely begging the question.
Well, there is nothing new in this third Mnst against the
New Deal from our last Republican President, but if our im

entire NRA set-up is pretty sick, and the popularity of F. D. R.

However, we still fail to see any reason why the idea of a
planned economy should be entirely abandoned, and that is all
essentially the NRA is.
Nor can we sec how, if this SHOULD bp done, there could
be any escape from a return to the status quo ante which would
mean no plan at all, just a condition of uncontrolled and regu
lated competition, with each man for himself and the devil tak

Few persons consume leas than four
or five spoonfuls
or lumps a day.

ing to federal
statistics the per
capita consump
tion of sugar Is

Is Incredible that every man, woman
and child In the country, In the
average eats sugar in excess of 5000
calories a day. The government fig
ures apply to the sugar sold, not to
the sugar actually consumed by hu
man beings. A fair day's ration for
an adult doing light work would be
2.600 to 3.300 calories counting ev
ery bit of any kind of food taken.
But suppose you are an exception
ally abstemious person In your sugar
ration. Say you take two level tea
spoonfuls or two ordinary lumps in
your tea or coffe daily, and three
or four more spoonfuls In your cake,
cookie, ice cream or lady finger, bit
of candy, bite of pie, dab of pudding,
thimbleful of sherbert or your fav
orite fountain beverage. Five tea
spoonfuls In all Instead of the ra
tion the government allots you, ap
proximately 6 ounces. This would
yield 150 calories daily so much vel
vet, over and above your ordinary
food.
Now If my arithmetic Is not as ter
rible as usual 150 calories more or
less would be & per cent more or less
than an ordinary maintenance diet
for an adult doing light work. You'll
never know till you try and try

sugar ration for a month, how much
control over body weight this seem

Yes. yes,, so do I. In fact I don't
want any coffee at all If I can't have
it sweetened. But a wee tablet of sac
charin (snccharlne to you, old timer),
a tablet containing from to
grain, sweetens a cup of coffee as
satisfactorily as a lump or spoon
ful or more of sugar.
Saccharin in Just the right quan
tity, gives a sweet taste that leaves
nothing to be desired. But get a wee
bit too much saccharin in it and it
tastes bitter. Have to experiment till
you find precisely the right amount

Heredity

was Injured when I was a child and
I cannot see out of it. Will this af
fect the eyes of our children?" (Mrs.

Answer I do not understand what
you mean by "dead die." A defect
of any kind present at birth may be
hereditary, but the injury to your
eye would not affect your children's

Old PilsudSki was very adept In
this situation. He played with Hitler

there Is danger that his successors
may not be so shrewd. That means
trouble.
The right key to the Farley matter
seems to rest in the unspoken atti
tude of progressive Republicans. They
said privtaely that they thought Huey
Long had a weak case against the
postmaster general. But they all dis
like Farley and voted for a sena
torial Investigation of him because
they hoped it would uncover some
thing better.
Political pressure was strong on the
other side of the aisle. In fact, It
was so atrong that Huey quietly re
leased a few of his own Democratic
friends. His mo-e was lost anyway.
There was no need to cause them em
barrassment by requiring them to
vote with him. Two absented them
selves, two others voted against him
and one, who had publicly announced
his support of Huey, also voted
against him.
