THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 1«35 Nobody’s Business By Get McGta SEEKING A SETTLEMENT [him. Their answer through one of It was recently our privilege to hearj their spokesmen was that “We don’t have to work. We belong to the Red an able address' from Senator Millard £. Tidings of Maryland, in which he discussed several serious and far- reaching post-war problems now con fronting America, and proposed an international conference at Washing ton to deaLwith such issues. The big question of this country’s war debts was discussed by Senator Tydings, his position being that there must be some immediate and sensible settlement of this issue before there can be any real return to world pros perity. We may set up temporary or experimental plah.s and schemes, he said, but the sooner these long-hang ing war obligations are settled, and settled permanently, the sooner there will be a stable basis upon which America and other nations may do business on a profitable basis. His proposal, to us, is .sound. A, plan of settlement, wiping-out, or arbitration of some kind must be agreed upon for the belief is now-general that these long over-due debts will never be liquidate<l. -We know a merchant who engaged in the credit'business for years. One day he began to.analyse his business and found that it was steadily slip ping. After a careful check-up of his books he wrote a letter to his custom ers owing him stating that their ac counts Had been marked off his books and forgotten, and inviting them to come back and spen<l their cash money "^TnrhTnv! " Cross and the RFC.’’ This attitude prevails among many today, both white and colored. Benx pwkers in New Jersey refused to pick berries rottening on the .vines b^ause they were on the direct relief rolls. Al though men and their families had beein doini* this work year after year, they refused to answer the sefsonal call when it came and an opportunity for proffered jobs was theirs. This is a bad situa^on and one that is having a ruinous effect upon labor. Washington authorities are right when they say such conditions must be put to an end—if they really mean what they say. “ ~ There are too many who prefer easy, unearned cash ^rom the govern- ment| fo hard-earned cash from an employer. Too much encouragement is being given, it seems to us, to the no tion that there can be pay without work—that work is a hard, unintended thing for people, and that play and loafing should -be the chief object of life.

According to the writer, Enforcement represents the weakest link 4n the- chain, and he maker-spe cific suggestions for strengthening and improving bur legal machinery for coping with reckless and incompe- tefvt drivers. First, every state should enact the “standard” drivers’ license law, pro- holsum moore informed yore corry spondenT, mr. mike Clark, rfd, that; it was so hot in his poultry yard that one of his old domminicker hens laid 2 little chickens on tuesday morning; botn mother and biddies are doing as well as could be expected ansoforth. the feathers were swinged off of Jtis rooster while he was crowing in the sun on top of the barn. rich," or “share the wealth,” the i,leo L|| ,,,,,Meant, for licenses. being prevalent among many that | second, there should be more sus- axes^are pai^l by the wealthy an. i revoking of licese.s of large co^porat.6ns, while the poor an^ I who ‘Vre congenitally unable middle class are exempt. This decep- t^ operate .their cars safely. tive idea of certain classes being im mune from taxes shUw's an appalling ignorance .(.m the part cf many who are blinded under any such dclu.sion. The fallacy that the “rich” should, or can he made to iH'ar the tex-burden is one of the most dangerous errors of iiolitical thought. It makes U easy —lot- demagogues-, to revel in public extravagance and the expenditure of jiublic money mPthe theory that they arc "helping the jioor” and'^that the “rich will have to pay.” No system which v,Tll soak the rich an<l the rich only for the benefit of the poor, has ever been devi.^tnl, or ever will be. The consumer pays in the end and the poor man is a much bi'gger consumer in Third, separate traffic courts should be established, who.se ipurpose should be education as well as punitive. Fourth, traffic schools should be set up for violators of driving laws, un der the supervision of the police de partment. This has been done in sev eral cities, and the work is meeting with great success. Fifth, there should be more ade quate protection for pedestrians-^who are the worst sufferers from danger ously driven automobiles — such as walkways and overhead and under ground passages, across congested in tersections. . Sixth, a citizens’ advisory committee: should be created in every city to co art square reports that his wife gathered vegger-tahles out of the garding for dinher last rncnday and that the squashes and corn on cob and frish potatoes had baked to a light brown aiyd all that she had to do was to let them cool off in the Ice-box so’s they wouldden’t be too hot to be et. they cdiiT.rdrfT ihTIk Iheif cow a-tall: the milk was so hot it scalded mrs. s.juare’s hands too bad.

In South Dakota all federal state relief, was ended until “farmers need ing help with their harvests have been aui^lied wTth such help.” In Illinois relief work in rural areas was halted; in Kansas recipients of aid were noti fied they'would be dropped if they refused jobs; and in Iowa able-bodied persons were taken off the dote and instructed to join the threshers.
