ever had control of any such amount

I There have been larg^r'^'^iounts

;and, in the past two.years, in peace,
Ibut they have,been hedged abodt with
restrictions and the specific purposes
for which they were to be spent have
been clearly defined in the appropri

tached to it are the provisions intend

out of the hands of Secretary of Jt!iie
Interior Harold Ickes.

to content themselves with -the hope
that “Jim will find a way,” as one of
tiiem put it,^referring to Postmaster
General Farley’s chairinjanship of the
Democratic National committee.
It would have been,pleasing to most
congressmen* too, if they h^ not been
asked to include a. restriction on the
wages that may be paid on projects
under this appropriation. However,
from the point of view of recovejry,
the $50 a month average wage which
is athoKzed for public works, is re-
gani^ as high enough to keep the
average worker’s average family well
provided for, but- not hdgh enough to
keep him from taking a job in private
employment if one comes his way.
Action After July 1
The new funds thus provided will
not be available until after July 1.
How speedily they can be put to
work thereafter depends upon how
$104,009 of the increase .consisted of!

fast the plans of the various projects
can be perfected. A good many are
said to be practically complete now.
LH^der the provi.sion in the appropri
ation bill authorizing the president
to exercise the right of eminent do
main—that is to say, to take land by
condemnation if necessary — the .way
i.s opened for great projeeta of *'alum
clearance” in cities, tearing down old,
crowded tenements and building airy
I modern low-rent apartments in parked
grounds, as Mussolini has done in
Italy. V ■
" Another nation-wide program which
is well thought of in administration
circles, is the abolition of every rail
road crossing of a highway “at grade”
in the United Statens. A high percent
age of fatal -crossings, and nearly all
otf the fatalities_connecte<l with rail-
way travel. Removal of grade cross-
ihg^wtH Speed up not only trains but
inbtor travel.
The president will have "to borrow
the inoney, of course. Thfere is orjiy
about $2,500,000,000 ^rrowing power
left under the Second Liberty Loan
act of 1918, which is the authority
under which the treasury has been
borrowing for public purposes; so a
bill has been rushed through the house
and will have pa.sse<l the senate by
the lTim‘ this is printed, to raise the
limit of treasury bond sales to a total
! public debt of $45,000,000,000. Fig-
'ures like that .have ceased to frighten
Washington. The talk now is that the
United States couhl carry a debt
load of a hundred billion dollars.
Cost of Pensions
It will cost from $500,000‘,000 to al
billion a y^r tb carry out the Old Age
Insurance and Unemploymemt Com
pensation plans even including the
payroll and earnings taxes, as the
bill is now drawn^ mathematical
sharps compute. Before congress gets
through the old age pension will be
raised from $.30 a month to $40 or
al>ove. Townsend plan advocates are
clamoring for at least $^100 a month.
It won’t'be that high, but may be $60.
Shortly congress will W aSked to au
thorize Joe Ea.stman’s plan to reor
ganize the Inter.state <'ommercc-Xom-
mission to give that bo<ly full control
over all forms of inter-state transpor
tation, railroad, hus, track, air and
